The right doesn't realize just how big of a joke their phoney outrage over Obama has become. I wonder if they think the country is as stupid as they are? That the rest of the country cannot tell that 90% of what they say about Obama, is just made up non-sense?
When you launch into countrywide protests less than 10 days after his initial inauguration, before he's had a chance to do anything to protest about, do you really expect people to believe you got valid issues with his Administration?
WTF can any President do in 10 days that would spark so much outrage? Aside from Truman, nothing. Word to the right, nobody buy's your rap against Obama!
What I don't understand is, why the right chooses to make shit up about the President, when there are very serious issues about the man people should be outraged about?
everything in post #360 is true. If you think you can disprove any of it, please proceed.
As a starter tell us why the POTUS should be taking sides in a local self defense case in Sanford Fla.
This may come as a surprise to you and other conservatives, but presidents retain the right to express personal views and opinions on maters of National import, such as this case concerning race relations.
The president wasn’t addressing the Zimmerman case, but the specter of yet another young African-American male who lost his life and the perceived callous response by a seemingly uncaring Nation.
However much the partisan right may disagree and wish to belittle and ignore it, the fact remains that a majority of African-Americans still perceive themselves to live in a society and culture that continues to sanction de facto racism.
And that perception is just as valid as the right’s perception that there is no racism in America.
This also goes to the thread topic, where republicans continue to fail to at least respect and listen to the African-American perspective on issues concerning race, where these concerns are ignored and ridiculed by republicans. The proof of this can be found in numerous threads in this very forum.
Instead of engaging African-Americans in good faith dialogue with regard to how young black men are perceived by law enforcement and whites in general, conservatives defensively and insultingly respond with admonishments about ‘black on black’ crime, ‘homes without fathers,’ and the ‘entitlement mentality’ of blacks – all having nothing to do with the issues exposed by the Zimmerman case.
It’s no wonder African-Americans exhibit such disdain for the GOP.
