“what has obama done to deserve anything near the criticism that bush received?” If you have to ask that, you haven’t been listening.

“was bush ever called a …facist…?” Every day out here in Cal, I gotta deal with people who insist that Bush is a racist, Nazi-loving bible-thumping, warmongerer. Yes, many times.

“did bush have to deal with birthers, deathers or tea baggers?” He had to deal with Code Pink, 9/11-truthers, and all the rest of them. And what exactly is a “deather”?

“were there facebook polls asking if bush should be assassinated?” That’s a trick question: you know as well as I do facebook wasn’t around then.

“did anyone bring assault rifles to bush rallies?” Probably not. Did anyone say they did? And did anyone actually bring any to the Tea Parties?

“all of the attacks on obama aren’t on his policies or his record. they are personal attacks based on lies.” Sure, that’s exactly it.

That’s why when we say, “We disagree with his conduct of foreign affairs and we believe his economic policies are misguided”, we really mean, “HE’S A NO-GOOD N*****!”

“there is a racial motivation in some of the criticism”. Then you will not deny that there were racial motivations for those voting him into office, right?

Personally, I think there are 10 times more black people who voted for Obama than white people who voted against him, for the reason of his blackness.

Simply put, we don’t like ACORN because of its thuggish attempts during the election to pressure people into voting for Obama and attempts at election dishonesty.

there was that video that the conservative media went all abuzz about (the pimp and prostitute one) because it showed three acorn workers acting innappropriatly. the staffers were fired, it was an isolated incident. the filmmakers tried the same thing at other acorn offices and didn’t get the responses that they wanted. they also crossed some ethical lines while filming.

the film was a dubious display of isolated incidents but is being used to try and show widespread corruption where there is none. why? all of this smearing is having an effect on the tea baggers who are now shouting “acorn” at african americans. just like demonizing everything liberal, conservatives who smear acorn are fanning the flames within the right-wing base which fuels racial tensions.

and to kaiser’s point about criticism of bush and obama, they aren’t even close. when you continue to make them equal you will never see how severe it is for obama. how many of the hitler/bush signs were within 10 months of his first term? and when the signs were being displayed, bush was building a legacy of illegal wars, warrentless wiretapping, politiciation of the doj, dubious election results and partisianship. what has obama done to deserve anything near the criticism that bush received? also, was bush ever called a socialist/facist/communist? did bush have to deal with birthers, deathers or tea baggers? were there facebook polls asking if bush should be assassinated? did anyone bring assault rifles to bush rallies?

all of the attacks on obama aren’t on his policies or his record. they are personal attacks based on lies. why? why disrespect the potus so severely and why are people so angry based off nothing but obama the man? i would say its because obama is black and because the right wing base is crazy. if any of the aforementioned criticism were being made of bush, the criticisers would be labeled as tresonous. not all people who criticise bush are racists, but there is a racial motivation in some of the criticism.

Colin Powell said that the republican party still has a problem with racism. That’s because Colin Powell apparently thinks that apologizing for something that doesn’t exist nearly as much as people think it does will earn the GOP more voters.

Bush was compared to Hitler. Several times. Quite a few hundred if you count all those rallies. Although it was spread over 7-4 years, the hate that Bush recieved was no less than what Obama is receiving.

Joe Wilson apologized for it. Many of his friends have repeatedly said that he is no racist and has never been. Being white and from the South doesn’t make you a racist. Someone ought to tell

I’ll admit that that e-mail with the watermelons and the witch-doctor thing are both really messed up. And the birthers, well, I don’t think their elevators go up to the top floor, so to speak. Not to mention that thing about the “great white hope”, if it’s true.

“ACORN is synonomous with black people”? Really? Other Side, your arguments are slipping. No offense meant, I’m totally serious.

-sending a email with a watermelon patch in front of the white house

-obama spliced into an african witch doctor picture

-the attacks on acorn, what have they done that warrants the non-stop demonization? if people are so angry about corruption, where are the investigations for halliburton and the abuses in iraq that costs america billions? its because acorn is synonomous with black people.

-joe wilson, who wanted to defend the confederate flag, yelling “you lie” during a congressional address. that has never happened before and is unbelievably disrespectful. and wilson was responding to a comment about illegal immigration.

-a us representative calling for a “great white hope” to defeat obama, a racial heated comment

-rush calling obama an “angry black guy” and playing “barak the magic negro” among other racial heated terms

-the birthers and their crusade to show that obama is from Kenya. making him seem different, not like the rest of us.

-beck calling the president a racist based off of no evidence, its seems like beck is projecting his own attitudes onto obama

-being compared to hitler isn’t political, it is hate based. hitler is one of the most evil people in history, and rightfully so. has obama killed millions of jews, gays and gypsies? has obama attacked surrounding countries in hopes of world domination? has obama started a eugenics program? when people think of hitler, they don’t think of his political ideologies. they think of the evil he has done and when obama is compared to hitler, it raises hatred. there is no comparison between the two.

-colin powell said that the republican party still has a problem with racism

-a senator’s staff sends out an email with all the us presidents’ pictures, with obama’s being only black with eyeballs. the senator didn’t fire the staffer and barely repremanded her

-the cartoon of a shot monkey being compared to obama

would the same heated vitriol be spewed at a white president? and do not compare criticism of obama to criticism of bush, they aren’t close. just because a black man is in the white house does not mean america has moved past racism. people are still racist. to think that no one would attack obama based on race is naive. these attacks are going to continue. obama hasn’t earned these attacks on his character.

———————————————-

Comparing Obama to Hitler is not racist. It is political. They share the same ideology. Hitler = Far left loon. Obama = far left loon.

Otherwise, see my post above. You might be a liberal if….when cornered by the truth, you pull out the race card.

Congratulations! You are officially typical.

When corned by the truth, you pull out the race card.
