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

[Pheonixops]

CPUSA? Yeah. Thought so.

What is wrong with CPUSA? Do you believe American communists are any less American than you? What ever happened to freedom of thought and association? last I checked American communists bled and died in our wars fighting against our declared enemies

Obama is another object to HATE for radical right. His race just makes the natural hate more intense.

I agree. You can here it with that pig limbaugh when he slings those not so sly racist insults towards him. Bill Maher called it the same exact way last night.

There are also many on the right who have a personal animosity toward Obama. They just don’t like him because of things Obama has said or done conservatives found offensive or presumptuous, whether true or not being irrelevant, of course.

I certainly think that people who don't like his policies are NOT racists. I don't like many of his policies, but when people call him a "Halfrican American", "Food stamp President", call his wife "Moochelle Obama", and other shitty things, then yes I think that they are being racist pigs. Ron Paul disagrees with president Obama, but he does it in a classy, sane, and coherent way. I see and hear the glee some white conservatives have when some black stooge they endorse makes blanket and bigoted generalizations about black people. for example "Blacks are brainwashed", "Blacks are on the democrat plantation", or that dolt Jesse lee peterson saying that he wants to take all blacks back to the plantation. These are the black conservatives that are embraced by white conservatives. In my opinion those "black conservatives" are serving as stooges and proxies for their handlers.

Question: How is "food stamp President" racist?

 

[old navy]

Wow! This is an excellent post, a person of high intellect, no doubt.

Exactly. This genius has hooked up with truthmatters. Two peas in a pod they are.

Yet you are the one who hurls passive aggressive insults because you can't back up your ignorant assertions in that thread. I'd rather be hooked up with Truthmatters than have the same "mindset" as you and some of your cohorts.

You called me a racist you fuck. How's that for passive-aggressive?

Now take that smiley face and cram it up your ass.

Good to know that deanie-do is still a moron.

We've asked the right wing to explain their hatred for Obama. They've pretty much given up on it because when they attempt to assign a reason, it comes across as "ridiculous".

We hate him because he's a "Muslim". They've stopped saying that because it uncovers their religious intolerance. We know he's not a Muslim. So we don't really hear that too much anymore. Besides, he took out most of al Qaeda and Bin Laden after Republicans let Bin Laden go and stopped looking for him.

We hate him because he's "Communist/Fascist/Marxist" which shows the right doesn't understand the meaning of those words.

We hate him because he went to a church where a preacher said "God Damn America". In context, the preacher saying God damn America is what will happen if we don't follow God's scripture, which puts him in agreement with at least 85% of Republicans.

We hate him because he barely know's Bill Ayers, a man who blew up an office while protesting the Vietnam war. Wow, how could one man cause so much damage? Oh wait, ask Timothy McVeigh. And Ayers did it when Obama was 8 years old, which proves he was "in on it". Funnier still, they both worked at the Annenberg Foundation, a right wing, conservative foundation, but on separate boards. They rarely met. But there has to be "something". There just has to be. There has to.

We hate him because he is pulling out of Iraq/he stayed in Iraq - I wish they would make up their minds.

We hate him because he increased the national debt. Bush and the Republicans passed an enormous tax cut targeting the rich DURING A TIME OF WAR which passed through that "reconciliation" they seem to hate so much. They passed a "drugs for votes" bill again through reconciliation, Bush did nothing after Katrina, never included the cost of either war in his budgets, thereby making incredible lies to the American people about the cost of the wars. Republicans know that Obama couldn't just "end" Bush policies, they know it doesn't work that way, yet they still accuse him of following the worst Bush policies, which of course, were ALL Bush policies.

They hate him for his stimulus package. Over a hundred Republicans took stimulus money and created thousands of jobs. Republicans like to pretend that once the railroad is build, there are no more jobs. Except now, goods can be transported and workers can work from farther away. The same for bridges and roads and broadband.

They hate him for saving the auto industry. Imagine where we would be without that entire industry.

None of these reasons make sense. As hard as they try to spin Obama's success into failure, it's hollow. Too unbelievable. Look how hard they tried to suggest that Obama only got Bin Laden because of the Republican failed policies of torture. John McCain shot that down. That and the tape of Bush insisting he doesn't think about Bin Laden any more. I believe Bush.

So why all the hate? Could the Republican Party being 90% white and based in the Confederate South have anything to do with it?

Many of the most racist pics were used by Republicans for mass mailouts during the campaign. Of course, they said, "Oh, we're sorry", which of course, didn't stop them from doing it again.

One has to wonder, have the Republicans convinced themselves it's not about race?

Why do you ignore the right when the they say it's because of his policies? Doesn't that fit with your stupid ass mantra, deenie?

It really seems that deenie can't argue the obvious so he has to make up his fantasy of why the conservatives don't like Obama. deenie has to make up his fantasy to the point where he has to redfine the word racism to prove his point.

There is a difference between "I don't like his policies" and "deep seated hatred". Bush let people suffer in New Orleans. Tricked the nation into war killing thousands of Americans and maiming tens of thousands. Let Bin Laden go and told America he stopped looking for him. Passed ruinous social and tax policies. And all this after polls showed him to be the most popular president in history. He did that to himself.

From before he was sworn in, the right wing swore to bring down the Obama presidency. Only in a delusional and ignorant racist right wing mindset are the two circumstances equal.

Question: How is "food stamp President" racist?

I don't know how old you are and your geographic location, I'm in my mid forties and am from New York, I remember plenty of insults from white people claiming that "all blacks are on welfare/foodstamps", etc. Then in the 80's and 90's, it was a combination of "the blacks are taking our jobs and they are on foodstamps/welfare". So naturally when people here someone like gingrich refer to Obama as the "foodstamp president" the see that as "code".

May as well ask what one would mean if they called Reagan, Clinton or Bush "The concentration camp President"

would we be wondering why there was an association with Nazis, or Jews, or..?

 

[Unkotare]

"Hate" is a word used far, far, far more often by those on the left waiting for their chance to cry "racism." Many Americans oppose this president because his ideology is far left of the majority of Americans and because he has so far sucked at his job.

FDR was The Concentration Camp President. More shame the democrats earned.

No one was saying "the blacks are taking our jobs," in the 80s and 90s. The 80s and 90s were not so long ago that you can just make shit up like that.

 

[Unkotare]

Bush let people suffer in New Orleans. .

That's a lie from the lefty book of talking points bullshit.

I'm not a Democrat either. Haven't been in a while.

You're perfectly free to associate with CPUSA and spread their pessimistic, tyrannical and greedy propaganda...After which those of us who have any rooting in history can set our gazes to eastern Europe and Asia, where communism has been responsible for the deaths of at least 100 million people, the utter enslavement to the state and abject poverty of billions, environmental destruction, economic dysfunction, and brutal police state tyranny (for starters), that ya'll can pretty much be laughed off without a second thought.

I guess you're being called a racist against whites. In rural areas, 53% of food stamp recipients are white and 27% are black. In urban areas, 34% are white and 35% are black. Fucking racist - you hate whites!



Damn, some of the idiots really should check before they accuse another of racism. Too many don't give a shit about looking like idiots, I suppose.

There are more whites on food assistance programs than blacks.

You don't know this? Are you racistly assuming that only blacks use food stamps?
