Eric, you really don't know how to play offense. And that's a compliment. You're a nice guy. It's one of the reasons we keep coming back for visits. But then you're a libertarian, not a conservative.

The charges of "racism" being hurled at the right are signs of desperation. They've lost the debate on health care, and they know it.
They would like to lump together the libertarians, independents, and conservatives who have protested by the millions, and brand them with the mark of bigotry. And it may just work if some conservative talk radio people don't cool it.

Have you listened to Limbaugh & Hannity the past few days? Rush has lost it. He's trying to stir up people with emotional images of white boys beaten at the hands of black kids while tying it all together with Acorn corruption and a black President. Not that this is anything new with him. For years he's mocked blacks like Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton, not they they haven't deserved it.
But still, he's all but come to the studio in black-face.
This time, however, it's different.

We should fear where it will lead.

I don't listen to Rush, but no.

Baldilocks seems to agree with me and Rush.

Did the beating actually happen or did it not? Were the perps all black or were they not? Was the victim white or was he not?

And the only folks I know of who use black face imagery are leftists.

Where will reality lead, anonymous?

Yeah, remember when those racists Reid and Stark, not to mention all those racists at MoveOn called Bush a liar? And that racist Iraqi who racistly threw a racist shoe at Bush?

And remember the last time a President tried to take over health care, the racists fought against it, too?

And Michael Moore, what a freakin' racist he is. And racists Alex Baldwin and Charlie and Martin Sheen.

Every Presidential election in my memory has had just one winner, was everyone who lost a victim of racism? The conclusion is inescapable - the very electoral system is racist, because it racistly divides us all into "winner" and "losers," a more patently racist concept it is impossible to imagine.

We've been up to our armpits in racists all along! Everyone is a racist (except for me) and I denounce you all! Racists begone!

We listened to Rush for 3 hours today. He was defiant. He played clips from the MSM yesterday painting his comments as "racist", and rightly so.
He's smart enough to know that a trap was set.
Is this just a big-headed quest for what - more adulation, bigger ratings, the complete destruction of this current BLACK President - or is there more to it?

As he might say - "This will not end well, my friends"...

And then all the finger pointing as to who actually played the race card first won't matter. Limbaugh is already setting up a defense by claiming that Obama and his gang have always thrived on chaos, that they "damn well knew Ayers blew up buildings, that Obama thrived on the black liberation (read black racist) teachings of Rev. Wright,
that this is already a failed administration
that needs the diversion of a racial meltdown and the ensuing chaos" etc...ad nauseam.

The question is: If the above is true, that the radical Obama and gang are creating a diversion with all this, why is someone as smart as Limbaugh going along with the play?
Here's a guy who's a football nut. He knows offense and defense and thrives on it.

The only answer for his recklessness is that he sees a lost game. He and others must actually believe that we're heading into totalitarianism - that the only hope is to bring it to a head now before we lose the 1st & 2nd Ammendments.

Can you see any other reason?

Can you see any other reason?

I believe according to FBI crime reports (the last time I checked was about a year or three ago) 80% to 90% of cross racial attacks were black on white.

It may be racially motivated or it may just be targets of opportunity.

The reason for amping the topic up is that those criticizing the President are accused of racism.

If the left wants to go there so be it. Ruin the game. And the way to ruin the game is to tell the truth. To highlight black racism.

Let people know what La Raza means.

All these cries of racism are ruining race relations in America.

My mate voted AGAINST Obama because she feared exactly what is happening. I voted against him because of his communist leanings.

Obama is probably the last black lefty that will ever be elected President in the next 100 years.

This will not end well.

Please people, if you are going to have an argument, try to have an intelligent one. Racism plays a role in this discussion. Racism alone is not the culprit. We need to discuss racism because it does raise it's ugly head and will continue to until we talk about it. But the ignorance surrounding this word blows my mind. People are indeed racist. Why? Because they are fearful of people who are different and are somewhat "unknown" to them. And to deny that is just that ... denial. Obviously, racism is not the only reason that people are angry and upset with President Obama. Obviously, people on the right don't like his policies because after all they are on the right ... the far right. But the hatred being spewed from the right is full of all kinds of reasons, emotions, prejudices, and racial bias certainly plays a role, not THE role, but a role, along with ideology, world views and other political, social, and economic views. What bothers me more than racism is the ignorance coming from the right. Ignorance like comparing Obama to Hitler and Marx and calling him a communist. Most of the people who use these terms do not even know what they mean. So much of this discussion is based on fear, anger and sheer ignorance. Get educated people. If you think Obama is a communist please explain the correlation rather than throwing out terms you don't know the meaning of. If you think racism plays no role, please make the argument for that. Otherwise, this sounds like a bunch of children whining about he said, she said.

Dear Teacher Jane:
Most of us in this discussion of race have been at the barricades for decades. We know quite well who and what Obama is. His mentors, associates, teachers, and friends should give even a schoolmarm a clue.
You don't like communist, fascist, Hitler-like, Marxist?
How about statist thug.

I think people who dislike Obama also disliked Carter. What evil prejudices lay beneath their surface opposition to Carter's policies? Bigotry against statist retards?

Please Jane,

Don't assume you can read minds.

I'm going to be ruder, screw you Jane.

Just because you're all worried about race and so obviously a racist doesn't mean others are.

I've found that using race is the lazy man's way out.

There are far too many reasons to dislike people to use race.

Alternatively, there are far too few people I could like to artificially restrict the pool based on things they can't help like race, creed or hair color.

So Jane, you can wallow in your racism, I'll wallow in my dislike of people for who they are.

You racist.
