Carson: Blacks have 'been manipulated' by politicians, media

[Pogo]

"Carson: Blacks have 'been manipulated' by politicians, media"

Another ridiculous lie from the right.

Not a lie

Politicians and the media tries to exploit everyone.

One of the most startling example in recent history is the Iraq War.

Everyone remembers that. What I do not understand is why many of these media companies, especially the cable news services, are still in existence?

Because their objective is not to tell the news, but to sell the ads. Actual news may or may not be involved in that endeavor.

It's the wages of having a commercially-based media.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Black Americans are disproportionately lower income, disproportionately union workers, and disproportionately black...lol...

...why would they vote for the GOP, the party that has contempt for all three of the above?

 

[NYcarbineer]

A statement singling out black Americans, saying blacks have been 'manipulated', contains the implication that blacks by their nature are somehow more susceptible to 'manipulation' than other groups.

That would be racist.

 

[rightwinger]

Simple question

What are Republicans offering that will make their lives getter?

Do you think blacks are too stupid to recognize a better deal?

Obviously it wasn't that 'simple' of a question because you couldn't spell the word 'better'....but to answer you, using only one example out of many (and I am not offering anything - the GOP is), is the GOP is offering an alternative to the Liberals nominees that include:

1. An OPENLY-admitted member of the Socialist Party (and by not immediately denouncing any connection to Sanders the DNC is silently admitting what Americans have known for years - the Progressive Liberals that have taken over the DNC are a bunch of Socialists who are slowly but surely replace the system our Founding Fathers created and entrusted to us with a system of government that has caused the collapse of almost EVERY single government that has embraced it)

and

2. A corrupt, lying, law-breaking, treasonous, millionaire elitist woman who got her start in politics by being BOOTED from the Watergate Team for unethical behavior all the way to today at which time she is fighting for her legal freedom as she already has one foot in an Orange Jumpsuit because of the CONTINUED illegal activity (such as the 3 new e-mails marked SECRET they found just yesterday) in which she has been engaged. This woman has and continues to take money from foreigners whom she helped violate US Sanctions against Iran while she was Secretary of State, from terrorist nations, nations that openly support terrorism, and had helped the very country / leader who if kicking Obama's ass publicly - Russia/Putin - to acquire 1/5th of our nation's supply of Uranium.

Then there's Old Joe waiting in the wings, the guy who once told a wheelchair-bound buddy to stand up and take a bow at a speech and who told a reporter that you can't walk into a 7-11 without having an Indian accent....

And today's news is that the Democrats are panicking so badly and becoming so desperate that they are even considering bringing AL GORE back!

With THAT line-up as the alternative to anyone that may come out on top for the GOP (except for Bush), the GOP candidates are looking pretty good!

Is that the best you got? Blatant slanders against the Democratic candidates?

Republicans have burnt their bridges with blacks, gays and Hispanics. If you want them to vote for you, you had better come up with something better than ...They suck

Show that their lives will be better under Republican leadership. You can't offer a single example?

 

[rightwinger]

A statement singling out black Americans, saying blacks have been 'manipulated', contains the implication that blacks by their nature are somehow more susceptible to 'manipulation' than other groups.

That would be racist.

Republicans are saying....you are incapable of determining the best candidate

 

[rightwinger]

Why can't Republicans convince blacks that they have a better solution? Are Republicans that inept? All they have to do is say.......We are going to take away all your "free stuff" an here is what you are going to get instead

I think "inept" is a fair term.

I don't know why their messaging is so bad, but I do think they could offer a reasonable alternative to liberal policies if they could somehow get their messaging skills together.

Maybe not a better alternative - that's up to the individual - but at least a reasonable one. And a reasonable alternative might cause the Left to improve what they're doing as well.

Competition is a good thing.
.

It wont work.
You've got Republicans promising that if they get into power everyone will have the opportunity to work and get ahead.
You've got Democrats promising that if they get into power everyone will get free shit without lifting a finger.
It's a no-brainer if you've been conditioned to the idea that you can never get anywhere on your own and racism will always stymie any effort.

I'd think it could work if the Republicans become brave enough to point out what their opponents are doing, and what they have been doing for generations now. But anyone who did that would really be taking on risk, because no doubt they'd be subjecting themselves to non-stop claims of racism (even, of course, if racism had nothing to do with their point).

More likely, some leadership would also have to come from those American Blacks who are willing to stand up. I may be too hopeful here, but it does seem like I'm seeing more and more of that.
.

Which is precisely why they need to shut Ben Carson up. He is going to ruin the left's monopoly

Monopoly on what?

What is Ben Carson offering other than tax breaks for the rich and a ten percent increase on the poor?

 

[easyt65]

Is that the best you got? Blatant slanders against the Democratic candidates?

The 2 best candidates Liberals have are 1) a proven lying, self-serving, criminal who has put our national security in jeopardy in order to make personal millions, keep secrets, and avoid going to jail AND 2) an admitted full-blown Socialist.

That's not 'slander' - that is FACT! So, YES, this country WOULD be better off with ANY of the GOP candidates....even Bush (as much as it pains me to Say so)!

I can not BELIEVE Democrats have not cut all ties to a 'flaming' Socialist! By NOT doing so they are making the declaration, openly, 'We Are Socialists!'

I can also NOT believe that the Democratic Party does not have a single person better to run than a corrupt woman barely staying ahead of going to prison WHO is also ditching debates to avoid talking about her scandal and a bonefide SOCIALIST!

Dude....that is PATHETIC! What it says about the Democratic Party, what it has been reduced to...is SHOCKING...and sad.

 

[sealybobo]

Rain Man Carson is hilarious! Yeah, blacks were just hanging around - in trees...

Does Carson know that 150 years ago was 1865?

His great grandpappy hardly noticed the guys hanging from trees were all black.

I'm sure they were grateful that republicans were willing to die for them so democrats would no Longer own them.

So grateful, in fact, that many of them joined the GOP and ran for office right after being freed from slavery.

But, that goes against what Ben Caron said.

And that was because at the time the Republicans represented Abolition, and therefore, Liberalism. That all changed by the turn of the century. The black political preference shifted to the Dems in the early days of the FDR administration and hasn't looked back since.

It's like anybody else -- voters will gravitate to where their interests are represented, and away from where they're not.

The Mississippi flood, I think 1927, was when blacks first left the GOP. Read about it.

Dude......are you totally incapable of giving a reason why minorities should vote Republican outside of....those guys suck?

90% of blacks and 70% of Hospanics won't vote Republican......seems you have to do a better job

 

[easyt65]

Ummmm...
- An HONEST candidate
- A MORAL candidate
- An ETHICAL candidate
- A candidate NOT having to stay a few step ahead of going to jail
- A candidate who is NOT an admitted, proud Socialist
- A REAL Christian
- Someone more Intelligent than a Community Organizer, Failed Secretary of State, and/or 'crazy uncle' Bernie. (BRAIN SURGEON....helloooooo...)
- Someone NOT taking money from terrorists, those who supports terrorists, rape liitle boys, oppress women, & kill gays....
- Someone who actually LIKES this country, the Constitution, & rule of law....& likes Americans more than illegals and terroists

....for a start....

Actually I've got a whole book about it. And my mother, aunts and uncles were in it. The inadequate federal response might have sparked some rethink, but the voting pattern started in 1936. Franklin Roosevelt got just 23% of the black vote in '32, but 71% in the next round. The Great Flood might have broken the ice but FDR's response to the Depression seems to have done more.

The Party of Lincoln...

Reasons NOT to vote DNC?
- DNC, creator of KKK

The DNC had nothing to do with the creation of any iteration of the KKK, nor did the Democratic (or Republican) party. The actual founders had no political affiliations. See my sigline.

And while we're at it, nobody votes for or against the DNC. It doesn't run for anything.

Hard to do that when Democrats have them brainwashed that they need yet another gov't program to get ahead, despite all the evidence.

Eventually either blacks will get sick of being second class citizens on the Democratic plantation or whites will get sick of paying for failed programs. Either way Dems are lying losers.
