He's a racist?

Posted By: mt on 2008-09-18
In Reply to: Michelle - gourdpainter

Does he hate half of himself then? He was raised by a white mother, so maybe it is some deep-seated hatred of his mother. That's bizarre thinking.

Racist? You calling me racist? sm

I voted for Alan Keyes.  He be blacker than Obama any day.


I despise Obama not because he is called African American by the MSM but because he is a liar parading around in sheep's clothing.  He says one thing to one group, contradicts himself on the same subject to another, and plays idiotic Americans like a violin.


Obama's parentage does not qualify him to be called black anymore than his foreign birth qualifies him to called an American.  To say people oppose him are racist because of his skin color is preposterous when he is neither black nor African American.


 


he is a racist
This is racist and disgusting.  Sounds like Hitler's plan..get rid of the *problem people* .  Sixty years later, get rid of the black babies.  Who has spoken out about this remark..democrats..you dont hear a peep from republicans. 
he is a racist
Because one man states he isnt does not mean he isnt.  For a thought to even enter his head like that shows he is a racist.  What good straight thinking person would say or think something like that.  Rather, lets think of ways to offer opportunities to black babies and children so when they grow up they will have had a good education and be able to get into college..but to abort them, OMG.
Racist, racist, racist....

that's how liberals try to shut anyone down when they talk about any minority...say something you don't like and they're a racist or a liar.


Liberals are the ones stirring up the race pot in this country by inventing racism in every shadow.


Go sell stupid somewhere else...


He is not a racist. sm

I don't know about the liar but I do feel he can be a chauvanist.  You have your opinion and I have mine.


What a racist!
NM
Racist, much?
nm
what is racist about that?
monkey???
I never said I was racist.....you did
@
you were right.....ur a racist!
why shouldnt a black man run for president?  I guess Obama should have said to himself, "Gee, I really would like to be president but I shouldn't run because I'm black and someone might not like that."  Ya right.  Why should it even be an issue?  I think that your issues with the O stem from some racism for sure otherwise you wouldnt have even made that comment.
I don't think she is a racist. s/m
I agree with her.  Use your head. 
What is racist about that?
It is equally as racist to vote FOR someone because of their color as to vote AGAINST someone for the same reason.
What is racist about it?
))
Yep I am such a racist
I grew up in Orlando where no one gave a darn about skin color. I had black, white, asian, hispanic, etc etc friends. Loved them all dearly and still do. I moved to South Georgia and it's like stepping back in time 50 years.

I don't give a hoot about skin color. What I do care about is the fact that there is NO SUCH THING AS EQUALITY.

It's time to get over the past. When you are walking around in name brand clothes and wearing gold jewelry and driving a nice car, don't tell me that I owe you because your great grandmother was a slave.

Not to mention my family never even had slaves, but I'm supposed to feel bad and feel like I should owe them.

People should be treated as people, not colors. There shouldn't be a box to mark white, black, etc. There shouldn't be extra points given just because you are "different".

When I was in the 3rd grade my best friend and I were tested for the gifted program. We scored exactly the same, one point below the accepted level. But, because she was Hispanic, she was given an additional 2 points, which put her in. Why is that fair? (I passed the next year with flying colors).

Judge away, I don't care anymore. Reverse racism is so prevalent in this country it's disgusting. We aren't improving, we are just reversing!
What is racist about it?
It seems to me they are calling him an ape which is obviously not a human, and; therefore, cannot be a member of a particular race.  What are you inferring here?  I'm very curious.   
You know, this may very well be racist
Or it may not. Of course anything that even could remotely be racist is deemed as such.

When I was a freshman in high school I got in huge trouble because in gym we were trying to play a serious game of volleyball and the other team (both black and white) kept jumping all over the net and I hollered "I wish ya'll would quit jumping all over the net like a bunch of monkeys!" Had absolutely nothing to do with race, much like my dad would say "you monkeys get off the bed" when me and my brother would jump on the bed. BUT of course, it was deemed racial, and I had to go through a whole big hoopla of going to the principals office and then my dad had to come in for a conference and I had to miss a game (not to mention the two days of school I missed dealing with all this).

What was the end result?

"Oh, I guess she didn't mean it racially."

(Is there a smiley that smacks it's forehead??)

All I'm saying is, we don't need to be so quick on jumping on everything as racial. I mean I saw a posting the other day (I'll have to see if I can find it) about monkeys doing our job. Does that mean they were saying "our job is so easy blacks could do it"? Nope.
I don't believe this is racist.
First of all, Obama didn't write this bill.  Secondly, if evolution is true, we all are descedants of monkeys.  I'm so tired of the race card being thrown out there for every little thing.  If people were smart enough to know who actually wrote this, they would know this wasn't aimed at Obama.  Yes, Obama signed the bill but he didn't write it.  So stop twisting things into racial issues so we can all say....oh...poor president obama....everybody is picking on him because he is black.....even though technically he is only half black....but whatever. 
This is racist
As a black person I take offense to what you wrote. Yes it is about race and always will be. Most voters who voted for him voted for him only because he's black. They didn't know his policies and still don't. I know most of the kook-aid drinkers don't like to admit that and want to truly believe that every single soul who voted for him was well versed on his policies. Sorry to disspoint...they voted for him because he's black.

Yes it will always be about race because that is what Obama is making it about. Speech after speech after speech he talks about his race. And those who deny that are just big fat liars.

But you've got that backwards because the Nazi's are now in power. KKK is long gone (sorry to disappoint you). White supremacists? You mean like the Black Panthers?
Yes, you are racist......
I voted for him because W had wreaked enough havoc on this country and McPalin was a freakin' joke! I don't care if he is PURPLE! So, spout your lies.
I did not say YOU were a racist
To be racist. That does not include everyone. But there are definitely a LOT of people who definitely don't like him because he is black.

Some are racist and just don't realize it because it is so deeply ingrained in their socioeconomic culture.
That is just as much a racist statement as the one above. sm
Racism goes both ways.  How about let's not labeling people at all.
Palin - racist?

Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”



September 5, 2008


sarah_palin_2.jpgby Charley James –


“So Sambo beat the btch!”


This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.


According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.


“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.


Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”


Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.


Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.


But being openly racist is only the tip of the Palin iceberg. According to Alaskans interviewed for this article, she is also vindictive and mean. We’re talking Rove mean and Nixon vindictive.


No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in their genetic code. So much for McCain’s pledge of a “high road” campaign; Palin is incapable of being part of one.


Tough Getting People Who Know Her to Talk
It’s not easy getting people in the 49th state to speak critically about Palin – especially people in Wasilla, where she was mayor. For one thing, with every journalist in the world calling, phone lines into Alaska have been mostly jammed since Friday; as often as not, a recording told me that “all circuits are busy” or numbers just wouldn’t ring. I should think a state that’s been made richer than God by oil could afford telephone lines and cell towers for everyone.


On a more practical level, many people in Alaska, and particularly Wasilla, are reluctant to speak or be quoted by name because they’re afraid of her as well as the state Republican Party machine. Apparently, the power elite are as mean as the winters.


“The GOP is kind of like organized crime up here,” an insurance agent in Anchorage who knows the Palin family, explained. “It’s corrupt and arrogant. They’re all rich because they do private sweetheart deals with the oil companies, and they can destroy anyone. And they will, if they have to.”


“Once Palin became mayor,” he continued, “She became part of that inner circle.”


Like most other people interviewed, he didn’t want his name used out of fear of retribution. Maybe it’s the long winter nights where you don’t see the sun for months that makes people feel as if they’re under constant danger from “the authorities.” As I interviewed residents it began sounding as if living in Alaska controlled by the state Republican Party is like living in the old Soviet Union: See nothing that’s happening, say nothing offensive, and the political commissars leave you alone. But speak out and you get disappeared into a gulag north of the Arctic Circle for who-knows-how-long.


Alright, that’s an exaggeration brought on by my getting too little sleep and building too much anger as I worked this article. But there’s ample evidence of Palin’s vindictive willingness to destroy people she sees as opponents. Just ask the Wasilla town administrator she hired before firing him because he rebelled against the way Palin demanded he do his job, or the town librarian who refused to hold the book burning Walpurgisnach Mayor Palin demanded.


Ironically, Palin was pushed into hiring the administrator by the party poobahs who helped get her elected after she got herself into trouble over a number of precipitous firings which gave rise to a recall campaign.


“People who fought her attempt to oust the librarian are on her enemies list to this day,” states Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla resident and one of the few Alaskans willing to speak on-the-record, for attribution, about Palin. In fact, Kilkenny actually circulated an e-mail letter about Palin that was verified and printed by The Nation.


For good measure, Palin booted the Wasilla police chief from office because, she told a local newspaper, he “intimidated” her.


Running on Extreme Fringe Evangelical Views
Sarah Palin drew early attention from state GOP apparatchiks when, during her first mayoral campaign, she ran on an anti-abortion platform. Normally, political parties do not get involved in Alaskan municipal elections because they are nonpartisan. But once word of her extreme fringe evangelical views made its way to Juneau, the state capitol, state Republicans tossed some money behind her campaign.


Once in office, Palin set out to build a machine that chewed up anyone who got in her way. The good, Godly Christian turns out to be anything but.


“She’s doesn’t like different opinions and she refuses to compromise,” Kilkenny notes. “When she was mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t hers. Worse, ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits but on the basis of who proposed them.”


Sound familiar? Palin may well be Dik Cheney’s reincarnate.


Something else has a familiar Republican ring to it: Her tax policies, and a “refund surpluses but borrow for the future” attitude.


According to Kilkenny and others in Wasilla as well as Juneau, Palin reduced progressive property taxes for businesses while mayor and increased a regressive sales tax which even hits necessities such as food. The tax cuts she promoted in her St. Paul speech actually benefited large corporate property owners far more than they benefited residents. Indeed, Kilkenny insists that many Wasilla home owners actually saw their tax bill skyrocket to make up for the shortfall. Two other Wasillian’s with whom I spoke said property taxes on their modest, three bedroom homes rose during the Palin regime.


To an outsider, it would seem hard to do, but an oil-rich town with zero debt on the day she was inaugurated mayor was left saddled with $22 million of debt by the time she moved away to become governor – especially since nothing was spent on things such as improving the city’s infrastructure or building a much-needed sewage treatment plant. So what did Mayor Palin spend the taxpayer’s money on, if not fixing streets and scrubbing sewage?


For starters, she remodelled her office. Several times over, as a matter of fact.


Then Palin spent $1 million on an unnecessary, new park that no one other than the contractors and Palin seemed to want. Next, Sarah doled out more than $15 million of taxpayer money for a sports complex that she shoved through even though the city did not own clear title to the land; now, seven years later, the matter is still in litigation and lawyer fees are said to be close to at least half of the original estimated price of the facility.


She also worked hard to get voters approval of a $5.5 million bond proposal for roads that could have been built without borrowing. Anchorage may not be the center of the financial universe but, like good Republicans everywhere, Sarah Palin knows how to please Alaskan bankers and bond dealers.


For good measure, she turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores and disconnected parking lots.


Sarah Barracuda
En route to the governor’s igloo, Palin managed to land what Anne Kilkenny says is the plumb political appointment in the state: Chair of Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (OGCC), a $122,400 per year patronage slot with no real authority to do anything other than hold meetings. She took the job despite having no background in energy issues and, as it turned out, not liking the work.


“She hated the job,” an OGCC staff member who is not authorized to speak with the news media told me. “She hated the hours and she hated what little work there was to do. But she couldn’t figure out a way to get out of the thing without offending Gov. Murkowski” and the state Republican Party regulars, some of whom were pssed off they didn’t get appointed.


But ever the opportunist, Palin quickly concocted a way. First, she waged a campaign with the local news media claiming that the position was overpaid and should be abolished – despite the fact that she lobbied Murkowski hard to get it. Then, mounting what she saw as a white horse, Palin raised a cloud of dust by resigning from the OGCC and riding away with an undeserved reputation as a “reformer.”


But when a local reporter dared to suggest that the reformer Empress has no clothes, Palin tried to get her fired.


“She came at me like I was trying to steal her kids,” said the targeted reporter, who now works for an oil company in Anchorage. “I heard she had a wild temper and vicious mean streak but it’s nothing like you can imagine until she turns it on you.”


Not surprising since some of her high school classmates still openly call her “Sarah Barracuda,” Kilkenny insists.


Still, as a Republican Party hack Palin managed to get herself elected running under the false flag of a “reformer.”


And what did she bring to the job? No legislative experience other than a city council of a village of 5,000 people, which is smaller than some high schools in Chicago. Little hands-on supervisory or managerial experience; after all, she needed to hire a city administrator to run Wasilla. No executive experience, except for almost being recalled as mayor. A philosophy of setting public policy based on one word: No.


And what has she done since winning the job?


According to Kilkenny, nothing. Well, nothing other than suggesting the state’s multi-multi-million dollar, oil-generated surplus be distributed to residents and finance future state needs by borrowing money. Gee, doesn’t that sound precisely what George Bush did with the surplus he inherited from Bill Clinton in 2001 and we all know in what great shape Bush’s economic policies left the nation.


It may explain why, when asked by reporters, including me, what she thought about Palin being picked to be McCain’s running mate, her mother-in-law replied with a sardonic, “What has Sarah done to qualify her to be vice president?” Of course, when the woman – said by many I spoke with to be well-respected in Wasilla – was running to succeed Palin as mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her, so that may explain the family tension.


As Governor, Palin gave the legislature no direction and budget guidelines, according to the chair of a legislative committee. But then she staged a huge grandstand play of line-item vetoing countless projects, calling them pork. “They were restored because of public outcry and legislative action,” the aide said. “She vetoed them mostly because she had no idea what they were or why they were important.”


But it was enough to get the McCain, who is mostly unobservant of the world around him anyway, to think Palin has a reputation as being “anti-pork”.


In fact, Juneau observers note that Palin kept her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork ladled out by indicted Sen. Ted Stevens. She only opposed the “bridge to nowhere” after it became clear that it would be politically unwise to keep supporting it, these same insiders assert. Then, Palin fell back on her old habits and publicly humiliated him for pork-barrel politics.


As for being “ready on day one” to be commander in chief, despite the repeated public claims she’s made, the Alaska National Guard commander said that, “she has made no command decisions, other than sending some troops to help fight a few brush fires and march in parades at county fairs.”


“Sambo Beat the Btch”
“Palin is a conniving, manipulative, a**hole,” someone who thinks these are positive traits in a governor told me, summing up Palin’s tenure in Alaska state and local politics.


“She’s a bigot, a racist, and a liar,” is the more blunt assessment of Arnold Gerstheimer who lived in Alaska until two years ago and is now a businessman in Idaho.


Juneau is a small town; everybody knows everyone else,” he adds. “These stories about what she calls blacks and Eskimos, well, anyone not white and good looking actually, were around long before she became a glint in John McCain’s rheumy eyes. Why do I know they’re true? Because everyone who isn’t aboriginal or Indian in Alaska talks that way.”


“Sambo beat the btch” may be everyday language up in the bush. Whether it – and the outlook, politics and worldview Palin reflects when she says such things in public – should be part of a presidential campaign is another thing altogether. The comment says as much about McCain as it does about Palin, and it says a lot of things about Americans who overlook such statements (as well as her record) and vote anyway for McCain.

Racist? Why...because the monkey
is brown?  That is just a coincidence.  Besides, if you believe in evolution....we were all monkeys once.  Besides, I believe the reference to a monkey was to show how dumb Obama is.  Ya know...Obama with dumb plans that won't work and a monkey who finds it entertaining to throw it's own poop.  Hmm...Just a though.
racist and making fun of

the disabled.  Little Flap Palin would be so disappointed with you.


 


Why do you say its racist propaganda
I just watched the video and there is nothing racist or of any propaganda. Whoever made the video took actual clips of Obama talking and talked about Obama's ideologies and mentors. Nothing racist involved. Is it your just upset because the truth about Obama is coming out and you dont want anyone to know what he is like?
Why won't you answer? How racist are you?
If you're going to come on here and make a racially inflammatory remark like we're going to 'shed blood' and use 'Black Power' to stir up sh1t, you'd better be prepared to back up your words.

I'm sick of people like you - typically OLD, WHITE and MIDDLE CLASS talking about what black people think and do and want.

If you can't speak AS an African American, please don't speak FOR the African Americans.
It's just another of their racist views
In fact, welfare makes up a very small portion of our national budget. It's just a convenient scapegoat for the ignorant.

I don't think this statement was racist.
I'm sure that there are some white people who are so nuts in their racism that they could potentially assassinate Obama or at least attempt to.  That doesn't insinuate all white people.  As for riots....I'm sure there are some black people who are so racist that they could potentially riot if Obama loses.  That isn't saying that all of them will.  You need to pull back the race card you just threw out there and perhaps lay off of the caffeine as well.  Making these statements doesn't make someone racist.....it just points out that there is racism out there in the world and it comes from all sides. 
I am able to see what is truly racist and what is not. I am tired of everything (sm)
being blamed on race. At the same time, if I see blatant true racism, such as the types of slurs the poster or poster(s) were using, I will speak out.
Name me one thing I said that was racist, other
:{
you forgot to add that you are a RACIST.

Yep, anyone who is NOT for Obama is a RACIST.

Oh brother. 


I am sure I will be called a racist, but
I really think that all the fuel needed was for a black man to run for president. That said, my problems with Obama lie in his policies, not his color.
OBAMA IS RACIST
BLIND
And that makes it less racist, because someone else said it?...nm

Racist comment
I agree - it was not the "Big Bad" - it WAS "anybody would have"; and this needs to STOP, it really does.  We are SUPPOSED to be ADULTS - I know children with better sense - geez!!
Racist posts

Keisha:


I understand you being upset at what is offensive here but to rise above it all - consider the source of which such repulsive vitriol comes from. People such as 'anybody would have' like to stir the .   Sad.


 


What was racist about that? Geesh.
xx
Now that is racist if I ever heard it
I'm with GiveMeABreak. She/he said it all.

By the way, just what is it that you think "they" look like? They all look like human beings to me.
What is racist about what the OP stated?
//
Nothing racist. It's the irrationality of the
attacker.  Irritionality = liberalism, Marxism, Socialism, environmentalism.  All those "isms" are potent killers of rational thought.   
Nothing racist about 'em -
I do not find anything racist about your posts; but I do find the aspirin post racist.
That sure sounded racist....

There was nothing racist sounding
Need to stop using the racist card here. So that's how it's going to be...

Statement: I don't like his policies.
Reply: That sounds racist.

Statement: I don't like the spending bill.
Reply: That sounds racist.

Statement: His picks for his cabinet people are not the best choices for America.
Reply: That sounds racist.

Statement: I voted for him because we need an African American in the office and he's going to take care of me (another African American).
Reply: Right on.
What you just said is basically racist.

What do you think he meant by these VERY RACIST


"That hate hadn't gone away"...."white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives." Barack Hussein Obama from Dreams Of My Father

"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out, many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs. . . It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names" Barack Hussein Obama from Dreams of My Father

"I found solice in nursing a pervasive sense of grievancee and animosity against my mother's race" Barack Hussein Obama from Dreams of My Father


These are his words. You actually think he is a loyal American? He is a racist human being.
Go ahead and defend a racist
even if it's so out of character for a liberal.
Just for the record, I have never called anyone a racist.nm

Hey I got a news bulletin for ya racist!
Who do you think helped OUR sorry arses in the Revolutionary War?

and speaking of RADICAL FUNDAMENTALISTS: Have you seen what the so-called CHRISTIANS are doing to my beloved country, America?
Hey, I didn't call anyone a racist

Sir Percy did.  The French are mostly Anglos, so yes, the French can be classified as a race but not a unique one.


Yep, and I believe extreme leftists are loons.  I say the same for extreme right wingers.  Extremism is a bad thing on either side, and yes they are loons.


Racist or fiction writer...
The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings. Yeah, right, pull the other leg. Why not go into the operating room and witness a late-term abortion where the needle is stuck in a baby's head to suck his/her brains out? Illuminate THOSE surroundings. Try a little truth instead of morally bankrupt fiction? Because it would not sell books, that's why. In my mind, just because it is fiction does not excuse it. Frankly, the fact that it is in the mind at all is distrubing, but to put it on paper and market it for monetary gain...sorry, I find that morally bankrupt. But again...morality and values were lost to a great portion of the left years ago. I should not be surprised. As to the racism...no one should condone racism. On EITHER side. But since the left re-elects Sheets Byrd year after year after year, I don't know why George Allen should be that much of a problem for you, other than he seems to be a racist Republican vs a racist Democrat? Please to explain the difference and why Sheets gets a pass? And please do not use the old that was in the past stuff. It has not been that many years ago that Sheets committed a verbal gaff as well, to add to the many over the gazillion years he has been in the senate. The man is a lifelong racist, a card-carrying member of the KKK; you know it, I know it, and the people who keep electing him know it. Your protests against Allen seem very hollow.
