MEMBER DIARY

And Even STILL I Am Not Allowed To Make A Racial Slur About Our President? After THIS? AYFKM!?!?!?

By: Dave Poff (haystack) (Diary)  |  October 25th, 2010 at 08:38 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I almost don’t have words…almost:

He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, “we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

In the new post-racial America, brought to us by Barack “don’t call me black or white, just call me American” Obama, we have been told our differences are behind us now…just because he exists and… just because he is black. Yet, day by day and speech by speech, this President has done more damage to race relations than any combination of Presidents since Lyndon Johnson…and he, at least, tried to make things better with a sincere heart.

Were anyone else to have been caught on tape making these sorts of remarks, they’d have already been fired and given a 2 million dollar job contract with the competition. Oh wait.

The lack of outrage should surprise no one here. We were told to vote for him… not because he was black but… because he brought with him hope and change and the promise of a color blind society. He has delivered on none of these, instead making race relations worse today than they were before he was elected. Since being sworn in we’ve been routinely told that any disagreements with his agenda HAD to be because he was… wait for it…

Black.

Some of us fall for that drivel, but most of us…and especially the folks pulling levers in voting booths all across America in a few days…know better. A great DEAL better.

Bridging the racial divide in this country will not come from highlighting our differences and throwing these in our faces so we can turn them against each other. And it will most certainly not come from throwing slurs at individual groups or races, or using *dated* ones to make jokes at the expense of others.

It will come from mutual respect and understanding, each of the other. This President has neither, and he is not qualified to lead any of us in the struggle to get there.

    Does the President really want to invoke the image of “Driving Miss Daisy”?

      Why not? It’s a heartwarming tale, and the protagonists care for each.

        the title is still not my favorite for the FP just my opinion. Personally I don’t think about race when I think about Obama. He thinks about race, and anything else he can use to divide and destroy. A racial slur is a generality, he is his own kind of slur, he is a slur on the presidency.

        He needs somebody to nut up real bad and honk out a big slur to whip the college stoodents and other persuadables into a voting’ frenzy. It’s pathetic that a man would use the Presidency for this and alarming that he thinks it might work.

        Dinesh D’Souza is right: Obama is truly stunted by his mid-20th century mindset….makes the late Robert Byrd look like a hippie.

        Here’s a future plank which all Republican candidates must swear to:

        Should I be elected President, I,__________________will never allow Barack Hussein Obama to negotiate anything or be a special envoy to anywhere on behalf of my administration.

  • reddog53

    How can he continue to be able to claim to be ‘post partisan’ and do this at every turn….

    We should just simply ignore the taunts and not return phone calls from the White House after November 3, until there is some reasonable attempt to work in good faith.

    And we should remind the Republican leadership that they should be in no hurry to run to the White House and reward this sort of thing!

    • SoFiMil

      Even separating this from “post-racial”, this was as far from “post-partisan” as one can get.

  • http://www.barrypopik.com barrypopik

    Actually, I haven’t had a slurpee in years. Am I still allowed to be a Republican?

  • cymbaline

    All he did was talk about his feelings about muslims on airplanes, and he’s kicked out onto the street. Obama can tell his opponents to sit in the back of the bus, and no one notices.

  • penguin2

    We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don?t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.?

    And he doesn’t “mind” the Republicans joining him? What? Is more than half this country lepers?

    Don’t let it get you, Dave. He doesn’t have any class. One of the things I can’t stand about him – his speech – it is so phony folksy, I gag when I hear it. “We gotta” “they gotta” – great Harvard education Mr. President.

    • http://www.hickpolitics.com Dave Poff (haystack)

      it’s going to take me two more years…I think-give or take- before I’ll finally “don’t let him get to me” ;)

      but man Obama’s crap is so forced it is almost funny.

    • cookcountyconservative

      the US would be ?ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama ? a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.? ?

    is unbelievable. No one in the MSM will call him on it. If we do, we’re the racists. Obama is the biggest divider of race to hold political office… including Robert Byrd. Can it be a coincidence they are both revered by the left?

    For too long we have been held hostage by the fear of being called racist. We won’t criticize because we’re called racist. We can’t let them control the language. With their allies in the MSM we have an uphill battle, but the only losing battle is the one people refuse to fight.

    It shows how badly the left have twisted the country when the President of the United States can reference a terrible time in our nations history… comparing what he plans to do to his political enemies to what was shamefully done to a section of our citizenry.

    If anyone had any doubts as to the suitability of Barack Obama to hold the highest office in the land, this should show them that Obama isn’t qualified to serve as dog catcher.

    ….something about sticking it to enemies(Republicans) and rewarding friends in the past few days. He also said he wanted people “Who made the mess” to ‘get out of the way’ and ‘not do too much talking’. He also said Cambridge PD acted stupidly; he also bade Cambridge officer to come to WH and be intimidated by him, Skippy and Joe. He also, in the WH dog and pony show over Obamacare, called Lamar Alexander a liar. In the same forum, he did NOT want to hear Repub. ideas, only what parts of HIS plan they agreed with. He dissed Supremes in front of America. He went overseas and dissed America. He is despicable. Joe Wilson doesn’t need to be corrected by anybody on our side. Neither does Justice Alito. Neither does Andrew Breitbart and all this eye-rolling about Tea partiers and common folk coming from Establishment Repubs. and Establishment Conservs. needs to stop. The lies and filth and vile namecalling and character assassination and America-bashing originating in the left-wing precincts is seeping down into our local communities, our local fishwraps, our local schools, our local churches even. We do NOT have to take it. Oh, and one more thing,. Obama’s famous Civilian National Security Force. You think Health Care is an abomination? How about some brave pundit revisiting the National Security Force issue? NBPP? DOJ corruption? Obama has been given opportunity after opportunity to do the right thing and not done it. You cannot make that many unintentional mistakes. This is a big ph..ing deal.

    What is up with this man? I have never seen such disrespect to Americans.

    I’m an enemy to Latinos? Really?

    Is he trying to start a race war? He sure is fueling anger and rage.

    I’m sorry but I cannot call this man President.

      Yes. Divide and conquer is old hat to autocrats.

  • tngal

    Our courthouse is ancient. And on the outside there’s a place where three steps go down and then there’s a door to what was ,decades ago ,a bathroom. Over the archway of the door you can make out the faint trace of the word colored, as there were separate bathrooms back then. Its etched in stone, very faint and only noticeable if someone points it out. I can imagine O making distinctions when it comes to things like that.

    Now, the only differences in the bathrooms are a couple for the government workers who work inside the courthouse and then a couple for the rest of society: i.e.. lawyers, aides, speeders, felons, voters, whatever. (of course the ones for the government workers are locked.)

    He keeps saying and doing things that we we don’t want to believe he believes.

    He doesn’t feel restrained at all because he really feels he has a gift . . . just like he told Reid several years back. I’ve posted here before about this but the American Thinker has an update:

  • chbroussard

    We never saw or heard this kind of crap under GWB. I have never in my life seen a more blatant attempt to divide this country. It is totally beyond my comprehension how anyone still supports this fake.

    • powertothepeople

      but the best thing his election every brought to this country was the fact his elections took all relevance away from the constant cries of racism. Already tons of people across the country have simply shrugged off racist catcalls when just years ago they would have pandered to the people making the call.

      Where you are correct is Obama has shown himself to be a staunch and arrogant racist. He has empowered the few among the black race who were racist to come out and show out. All the blacks who have worked to end racism on every side have seen their work shot to hell. But now most races will simply tell the racist on the black side who constantly try to race bait or call racism in everything to go get stuffed. In that, his election helped a ton.

      • chbroussard

        ….the blacks that have worked so hard to end racism. Their efforts are completely overshadowed by those who seem to take sadistic and self-serving pleasure in pitting one American against another.

    • izoneguy

      into thinking that if the Republicans take over they would be shackeled and sent to slave labor camps. Obama is the one that needs to be put in shackles.

      • cactusjack

        minority Lib Dem heart, to their innermost secret thoughts they share only among themselves:
        1) (lib) African Americans – “he (the 0) is not of the blood*, he really is not of us, we are not responsible for this stranger and his failure.”
        2)(lib) Hispanics – we paid our dues, we’re bringingmore votes to teh Dems now than the AA bloc, and the party rewards us with – 0!? This is a hurt the Hispanic community which votes Dem , is doing a slow burn about – Hillary as nominee would have acknowledged their contribution to the party; 0 was a slap inthe face.
        2a) the 30-40% Hispanics who voted R in 2008 – “hey, lightning didn’t strike me out of the sky, in fact it felt pretty good, and glad I didn’t waste a vote on that 0.”

        Lot of ground to plow in all the above, for the Repubs but I don’t think a lot of them, esp Steele & the Repub party, even gets any of this. Maybe Joseph Cao, but they see him as a freak, not as an opportunity.

        • cactusjack

          blood = of blood lineage having actually passed through slavery.

  • Superheater

    If a Republican had said that, they’d be calling for him/her to be drawn and quartered.

  • cactusjack

    I prefer to see the glass half full,i.e., 0 has driven a stake through the heart of Northern white guilt. It will only exist henceforth in limited fashion, in the hearts and minds of hysterics. Even the libs will admit to themselves in their twisted minds, OK we had a black President, the embarrassment he has dragged the Dems through for two years will never never quite be erased; now it’s a Hispanic’s or woman’s turn. I say fine, we conservatives don’t think there’s a quota over the WH but if we need a Hispanic soon – Rubio! As for a woman (mama grizzly)…….!!!

  • Tbone

    is absolutely screwing black America. He is going to create such a backlash that a black person is going to be hard pressed to get anything but a government job.

    Plus, there is a 90%+ chance that every black person you meet blindly supports Obama BECAUSE he is half black and consequently is a stupid, unthinking racist.

    Thanks Barry, you have single handedly destroyed MLK’s legacy.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    But THIS is why I backed Mike Castle.

    I wanted us to get 51, so we could laugh in that racist jerk’s face and say “We won.”

    • JSobieski

      between a conservative offering tepid support for Castle and neutrality porbably require an electron microscope.

      I think O’Donnell has held up far better than I would have thought. Its interesting how the attacks on her in the general seem far more silly than the issues raised in the primary. The D’s this time around really are a chicken without a head.

      I guess that proves that there aren’t a lot of small business owners who vote D. Every small business owner I know is complaining about the same thing—staying afloat while you go about collection A/R. I get screwed by my client, forcing me to screw my vendors, and the chain goes on and on and on. Does the postal service slow down delivery when its a check?

      No doubt it made my criticism of O’Donnell louder than it otherwise would have been.

      • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

        I went for Castle at the very end.

      • Doc Holliday

        O’donnell would be even closer. As I have said before, I am just cocky enough to think I could easily pick better candidates than the voters did this time in many instances. But that pesky democracy sometimes gets in the way. We can all talk what ifs, but at this point, to what end? Self aggrandizement?

        We are a united group here, and we are not buying. I say that to all who want to chastise the voters for there maladroit picks.

        • powertothepeople

          all the guys make their picks and at the end make their upset pick which is worth more than the other picks.

          O’Donnell is my upset pick. She surprised everyone in the primary and did what most called impossible. I have this feeling it will happen again in the general. I think she is going to prove to be the biggest upset of the year.

          We can hope right…….?

      if you cannot hear it, it is Obama telling Latinos to vote against their enemies and reward their friends, ie Republicans against Democrats. It is amazing that this tool of the left can see that Republicans in the United States of America are more a threat to him and the Democrats then AQ who would slice their heads off.

  • Paige Dulli

    Obama says us Republicans have to ride in the back seat. I have news for him. We are hijacking his car and kicking him and his cronies out the door and to the curb.

  • uhangtight

    I am a Californian and US Citizen first, but my ancestry is African Arab. When I was a kid back in the late 50′s early 60′s (when I was in kindergarten), I was told I belonged at the back of the bus. I was kicked, punched and dragged by the other students ranging in ages from 5-15. Everyone got their jab, punch or kick in as I was being dragged down the bus aisle.

    When I heard the sound bite on the news last night I twinged. My first reaction was from those days long ago: don’t let them see you cry and vengeance is mine says the Lord.

    • moebadderman

      As a young schoolboy in the mid-Fifties, I sat in the back of the bus with my two best friends because one was Black and the other Mexican. The liars and deniers will tell us this didn’t happen, or else if it did happen, it didn’t happen much, or if it did happen much, it didn’t happen much everywhere; but it did happen, much and everywhere, and they are liars and deniers.

  • brunk

    I tried to find the racial subtext in that quote, and could not.

    If a white man were to have said “sit in back” in reference to a wholly or predominately black group, I would’ve considered it as an incredibly boneheaded depiction, but even then I wouldn’t have considered it racist on its own. In any other situation, it seems as good a phrase as any other to imply that the group in question will have to take a secondary role.

    I mean, come on. If I were to call you a “back-seat driver”, would you consider that a racial slur?

    Also, I’m confused by your title. What’s this “allowed to” stuff? You were always “allowed to” make that racial slur (and screw your jurisdiction if they disagree). But, why is that even an issue here? If you’re white, and a black guy calls you a “cracker”, do you think the most adult reaction is to return your own racial slur?
