Like an interplanetary blob that keeps managing to resurrect itself for B-movie sequel after B-movie sequel no matter what the heroes do to squelch it, birtherism just will not die. Birthers absolutely live to hate President Obama; and unwilling or unable to challenge him cogently on the issues, they instead resort to ad hominem attacks and the malicious rumor mill: he's a "socialist" and/ or a NAZI who "pals around with terrorists" and "can't speak without a teleprompter"; he's the most secretive and power-mad and corrupt president in history; and furthermore, he ain't even Amurrcan. (But of course it has nothing to do with racism, so don't you even suggest such a thing.) And proving them wrong only encourages them.
What's your opinion? Is there any other explanation for this nonsense other than racism= Please leave a comment.
Well, they could be stupid assholes...dang it, I keep forgetting that being a stupid asshole is a requirement for the racist.
ReplyDeleteMy local paper carries a column by Diane West, a KKKrazzeepants ReiKKKwinger who writes for the WaTimes. As recently as last week she was touting Shurf Joe Arpaio's Posse's proof that Obama wasn't a REAL MurKKKan.
I gather that the latest meme from that crowd of racist assholes is that Obama's REAL father...
My opinion is that if the 'Propaganda Professor' had one more brain cell he'd be an idiot.
ReplyDeleteI'm a racist because I don't want a president who assassinates American citizens? Give me an effing break!

Nobody said anything about that. We're talking about the insane Birther movement. Do you support it, Orlin?
DeleteMikeb, the title implied that if one isn't an Obama lover, then you are a racist.
DeleteBirther movement? I'm an individual and support no collectivist anything.
From my study, reading, and researching, a 'natural born citizen' is the child of parents who are citizens of this country. Clearly, that is not Obama. Race has absolutely no bearing on that conclusion.
That Obama chooses to be a war-mongering lunatic with blood on his hands makes him ineligible for me to support him or respect, or even consider him as anything but wicked and evil.

The title did not imply that. It said very clearly if you are guilty of "inexplicable Obama hatred" then you are a racist.
DeleteSo, Mikeb, if you can't understand why the person hates Obama, the conclusion you draw is that said person is a racist? That's simple-minded of you.
DeleteMikeb, I stand corrected, if the dislike I have for Obama is explicable then your title should read:
Delete"Inexplicable Obama Love = Racism"
Because there is no other explanation for anyone to like this guy.
Whew! Glad we got that settled!

People voted for Obama in 2008 to prove they were not racists, they'll vote for anyone else in 2012 to prove they are not stupid.
ReplyDeleteMikeB: “Is there any other explanation for this nonsense other than racism”
ReplyDeleteYes. Because Obama is a Democrat. Do you think these people showed any love to Bill Clinton? Had Hillary won, these racists would be sexists instead.
We've discussed birthers before. There are people who seriously believe that the world will end in December of this year. Some believe that the earth is flat. Why are you giving attention to obvious wackos?
ReplyDeleteYou agree then. Birthers are wackos who are motivated by racism. Why else didn't they get on Jonh McCain's case for having been born in Panama.
DeleteI can agree they are wackos, but will not concede they are all racists. Some may be and some may not be.
DeleteMcCain was born to 2 US citizens, and has been very open about it. Obama only has 1 parent who was a US Citizen and seems to do his best to not be very open about his past. That may be why some will not let this go.
Mikeb, I don't insist on claiming that I know what motivates every person on the planet, nor do I jump to racism to explain everything that I don't agree with. I said that the birthers are wackos. I didn't add that their motivation is racism because I don't know that. Truth be told, I'm not interested enough to enquire into the question.
DeleteTS:
ReplyDeleteFor possibly the first time, you and I are in agreement about something. I doubt that it's a trend. ;>)
"We've discussed birthers before. There are people who seriously believe that the world will end in December of this year. Some believe that the earth is flat. Why are you giving attention to obvious wackos?"
Hmmmm, well, if you read any of the news you'd know that the people who believe that the world will end in December are NOT influencing the candidates from the GOP. The Kocksucker brothers love to wind the birthers and SKKKrotalMurKKKinPatriotiKKK Front types up and just let them careen around the corpse that used to be the body politic of the GOP.
democommie,
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to ask you this for awhile now. I was not sure of the right time or place, but this seems as good as any. But - are you really a communist, or least have communist leanings?
I figured this article was appropriate as Obama addressed the issue (in jest) and said that he was cuz he shared his toys as a kid. People have accused Obama of bing a communist/socialist for awhile. If people said the same thing about me, and I was not a communist (which I am not), I would reply w/: "I am not a communist and here is why". I would really like Obama to do the same thing, and I am not sure why he has not.
Yeah, so are you a communist - why or why not?
Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!
ReplyDeleteEverybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, liberals and respectable conservatives agree I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
Race problem? Scientifically, race is nearly a meaningless term, beyond minor cosmetic differences. The only reason that race matters is that people keep focusing on things that have no fundamental importance.
DeleteThings that do matter are culture and personal choices--achievement, being responsible for oneself and one's family, making the world better. A person's facial features or skin tone have nothing to do with those.
Genocide law trumps politically motivated "science"
DeleteWhat, exactly, does "genocide law trumps politically motived 'science'" mean?
DeleteWho are all these people who keep saying "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White"?
