I noticed Hannity didn't ask the Senator to name the offensive executive orders. I imagine that's because none of them really smacks of legislation. As usual, in order to have an argument to make, the Republicans have to lie and exaggerate.
Of course they deny this has anything to do with racism, but to me they're full of it. Referring to the president as King Obama in that slightly Southern twang, to me, smacks of racism far more than Obama's mild suggestions smack of legislation.

Lupe Fiasco's political views got him thrown out of his own show Sunday (Jan. 20).
ReplyDeleteLupe went on an anti-Obama rant, and when he refused to go on to another song, security kicked him off stage.
Fiasco is very comfortable expressing his disdain for the commander in chief and has verbalized his views on several occasions. Last summer he blamed the president for killing little children, after ordering drone attacks, claims of which have yet to be substantiated by Obama or the CIA.
According to reporter Josh Rogin, things quickly went left (no pun) for the rap star. "Lupe Fiasco just got thrown off stage here at the Hamilton Live after he went on an anti-Obama diatribe mid set," Rogan tweeted. "So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn't vote for Obama and eventually was told to move on to the next song. Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go."
Some of the lyrics from his song:
"I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it"

Mike you're the only racist here, any one who disagrees with KING O must be racist. Can you back up any of your claims?
DeleteI can back up my claim that I think there's racism, yes. I can also back up my opinion that there is. I assure you this is my opinion.
DeleteRacism exists on the fringes. If you assert that racism is at the core of some group, let's see your evidence--not your suspicion, your evidence.
DeleteMe and my racist friends would like to see Walter Williams in the White House.

Hey, more accusations of racism! And now, we see that our southern twang is evidence of racism!
ReplyDeleteMike, your constant prejudice against southerners and gun owners is tiresome and shows that you're as set in your ways and unreachable as the most confirmed racists. Frankly, trying to reason with you appears to be a waste of my time.
It's sad that you have to derail real attempts at dialogue with trollish pictures gloating over gun owners' deaths and constant accusations that we're a bunch of secret racists. Enjoy your echo chamber.
C'mon now, this blog has been nothing like an echo chamber.
DeleteYou're right, I have my own prejudices. I'm a 60-year-old Italian-American from New Jersey. How could I not have them. Your denial that they exist in Tennessee, except for the rare exception is the really crazy thing.
I don't think you're wasting your time. In fact, I seem to remember a few instances where you straightened me out on a thing or two and I admitted as much.
Of course it's racism. The NRA was founded as a racist organization, and now its members are all racists. None of this is hidden. It's all out in the open.
ReplyDeleteHaving given up on facts, Anonymous, you now accept any form of nonsense?
DeleteThe NRA fought on the side of Civil Rights along side Martin Luther King. Jim Crow laws kept most Blacks from owning guns for self protection. The NRA fought to change that.
DeleteRacism is the hole card always used by progressives when they realize they are losing the argument.
That ancient history about the origins of the NRA has nothing to do with today's argument.
DeleteI'm not playing a card. I'm just trying to explain the inexplicable.
But that's the point. There's nothing inexplicable about the video. We have good reasons for opposing Obama in this and in other areas. They have nothing to do with racism.
DeleteSaying that Obama is acting like a monarch isn't about racism. It's a recognition that the president is trying to grab power not allowed to him by the Constitution.
