The right's hatred for Obama: If it isn't "race", then what is it?

[daveman]

The way some on the left talks about Obama it is like a CULT.

and he is Jim Jones.

Alinsky would be proud daveman.....you have his playbook down pat

 

[Sallow]

I thought it was pretty pathetic how a President was was supposed
to be the smartest man to allow himself to walk among us mere mortals
needed to use a teleprompter to a class of third graders which this president did
early in his term.Maybe that was interesting for some of us.

Thanks for posting that

It is another racist lie invented by the rightwing to explain how a black man can be a good public speaker

you sure are stretching the good ole race card now. who can take you serious?

Reagan and Bush used teleprompters.

Why oh why is it an "issue" now?

Anybody can USE a teleprompter.

The current President is close to totally reliant on them.

I do believe that is the distinction.

Still bitterly clinging to the laughable idea that Alinsky wasn't a leftist, I see.

Maybe these quotes will better illustrate the left's deification of Obama:

"Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus."

-- Politiken (Danish newspaper)

"No one saw him coming, and Christians believe God comes at us from strange angles and places we don't expect, like Jesus being born in a manger."

--Lawrence Carter

"Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama."

-- Dinesh Sharma

"We just like to say his name. We are considering taking it as a mantra."

-- Chicago] Sun-Times

"A Lightworker -- An Attuned Being with Powerful Luminosity and High-Vibration Integrity who will actually help usher in a New Way of Being"

-- Mark Morford

"What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history"

-- Jesse Jackson, Jr.

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

-- Barack Obama

"Does it not feel as if some special hand is guiding Obama on his journey, I mean, as he has said, the utter improbability of it all?"

-- Daily Kos

"He communicates God-like energy..."

-- Steve Davis (Charleston, SC)

"Not just an ordinary human being but indeed an Advanced Soul"

-- Commentator @ Chicago Sun Times

"I'll do whatever he says to do. I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

-- Halle Berry

"A quantum leap in American consciousness"

-- Deepak Chopra

"He is not operating on the same plane as ordinary politicians. . . . the agent of transformation in an age of revolution, as a figure uniquely qualified to open the door to the 21st century."
-- Gary Hart

"Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings . . . He's our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence."

-- Eve Konstantine

"This is bigger than Kennedy. . . . This is the New Testament." | "I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event."

-- Chris Matthews

"[Obama is ] creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom . . . [He is] the man for this time."

-- Toni Morrison

"Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. . . . He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh . . . Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves."

-- Ezra Klein

"Obama has the capacity to summon heroic forces from the spiritual depths of ordinary citizens and to unleash therefrom a symphonic chorus of unique creative acts whose common purpose is to tame the soul and alleviate the great challenges facing mankind."

-- Gerald Campbell

"We're here to evolve to a higher plane . . . he is an evolved leader . . . [he] has an ear for eloquence and a Tongue dipped in the Unvarnished Truth."

-- Oprah Winfrey

“I would characterize the Senate race as being a race where Obama was, let’s say, blessed and highly favored. That’s not routine. There’s something else going on. I think that Obama, his election to the Senate, was divinely ordered. . . . I know that that was God’s plan."

-- Bill Rush

I studied Alinksy because of Sun Tzu's advice to know your enemy.

You just keep ignoring reality. You couldn't be a leftist if you didn't.

Well, when I've seen several morons claim that "critical thought" is a right-wing concept, I can understand the rationale that 'teleprompter' is a racist term.

"Critical thought" must be a right-wing concept, because the left so rarely practices it.

 

[Not2BSubjugated]

God, the preservation of the institution of marriage, the view that affirmative action is reverse discrimination and concern over 2nd amendment rights are all valid issues. Appealing to morality and the Left's abhorrence of religion is every bit as proper as using abortion rights as a campaign plank.
Accusing the GOP of racism is laughable! You do realize that barack obama would be flipping burgers in Honolulu if he was white, don't you?
We would have never heard of the man had his father been white. There is nothing special about him other than the Left's perception of his as the first electable black.
Biden summed it all up rather nicely:

While I'm not much of a fan of Obama's policies, I'd have to assume he'd still be doing fairly well if he was white. His family had enough money to send him to Punahou for his early schooling, which is both the most expensive and probably the most prestigious school in the state. You get reasonable grades coming out of there and you're guaranteed acceptance to a good college, on top of which you don't pass their entrance exams without a pretty solid IQ. He might not have gotten the DNC nomination if he was a white guy, and in my opinion we'd probably be putting up posts about the first female president and debating Hillary's politics, but I'm pretty sure that with all the anti-GWB sentiment flying around, that nomination, even for a white Obama, would have been an automatic ticket into the White House.

That Biden quote. . . HAHAHA! Seeing career Politicians spout off rhetoric contrary to the core principals of their party always makes me happy in some way or another.

I disagree. Had obama had 2 white parents, Illinois State Senator would have been a stretch. There is really nothing special other than his complexion that would distinguish him from any other Punahou graduate and nothing so special that would even have gained him admission there.
There are thousands of Democrats as articulate, intelligent, attractive and clean. Anyone can come up with lofty promises of hope and change.
There's nothing really special about the man, well other than the fact that his mother's name was Stanley.

Yeah, I'd say you're probably right as far as fame and political success on anywhere near the scale we've seen. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that he'd have ended up as a middle-grade but well paid civil rights lawyer, presupposing that these white parents raised him with the same philosophical ideals as did his actual parents.

But, then again, I'll confess: I am not even certain I know what it is they are trying to claim.

You guys don't think critically. You regurgitate talking points. Unable to discuss in depth any subject. For example, you can't discuss global warming or evolution to a person who doesn't even comprehend the facts, science and logic.

Fox News and Rush have you middle class conservatives brainwashed. They got you voting against your own financial interests. They fucked you just like they screwed the rest of us and you still defend them. Look at the catholics who stayed catholic after finding out the pope himself was covering up pedophile rape. Talk about loyal. Hose slave mentality.

If Sillybozo was talking to and about left-wingers, then his post would have some merit.

But as things stand, sillybozo is just regurgitating mindless lib talking pointlesses and fantasy stereotypes.

A lot of you middle class Republicans think you got it better than the average guy so even though the GOP screwed you, you have been brainwashed to think the alternative is socialism, when in reality it is the robber barons that have been selling off America piece by piece. Sending jobs overseas, crashing the housing market and the financial market. You had to have been affected? Unless you are rich? Because the top 1% actually did great in the last 10 years. Maybe you are in the top 1%? If you are not, wake up.
