Right, right, right. That's what the pseudo-cons will tell you. Honest injun, it's true.
It is, actually.
15 Moronic Things Liberals Call Racism Since Obama Was Elected - John Hawkins - Page full
Which one dealt with the President's policies?
1) Criticizing the IRS: "Republicans are using [the IRS scandal] as their latest weapon in the war against the black man. IRS is the new 'N****r.'" -- Martin Bashir
3) Wanting to own a gun to prevent break-ins: "I am loathe to bring up what is in our head because we dont like to talk about it so much. But on this particular day, on Martin Luther King Day, I think this needs to be said. That imaginary person thats going to break into your home and kill you, who does that person look like? You know, its not freckle-faced Jimmy down the street, is it really? I mean, thats not what really, thats not what really people, we never really want to talk about the racial or the class part of this, in terms of how its the poor or its people of color that we imagine that were afraid of. Why are we afraid? What is that, and its been a fear that has existed for a very, very long time." -- Michael Moore
4) Mentioning the "Constitution" or "respect for the Founding Fathers:" "The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message, Williams wrote. References to a lack of respect for the Founding Fathers and the Constitution also make certain ears perk up by demonizing anyone supposedly threatening core old-fashioned American values." -- Juan Williams
8) Saying that unions boss Obama around: "The Republican Party is saying that the President of the United States has bosses, that the union bosses this President around, the unions boss him around. Does that sound to you like they are trying to consciously or subconsciously deliver the racist message that, of course, of course a black man cant be the real boss?" -- Lawrence ODonnell
9) Supporting voter ID: If you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act and made sure that we could iron out those kinks, now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally and very transparently block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And its nothing short of that blatant. -- Debbie Wasserman Schultz
10) Saying "I want my country back:" "Do you remember tea baggers? It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just dont know why we cant call them racists, or functionally retarded adults. The functionally retarded adults, the racists with their cries of, I want my country back. You know what theyre really saying is, I want my white guy back. They apparently had no problem at all for the last eight years of habeas corpus being suspended, the Constitution being [expletive] on, illegal surveillance, lied to on a war or two, two stolen elections yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too. Thats not tin-foil hat time. -- Janeane Garofalo
12) Fighting for the 2nd Amendment: "I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously dont have our best interests [at heart]." -- Jason Whitlock
13) Republicans trying to keep Obama from being reelected: "Look at, look, the Tea Partiers, who are controlling the Republican Party
.Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. Whats, what does that, what underlines that? Screw the country. Were going to (do) whatever we (can) do to get this black man, we can, were going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.
It is a racist thing." -- Morgan Freeman
14) Disliking the fact that Obama is President: "They cant stand the idea that hes president, and a piece of it is racism. Not that somebody in one racial group doesnt like somebody in another racial group, so what? Its the sense that the white race must rule, thats what racism is, and they cant stand the idea that a man whos not white is president. That is real, that sense of racial superiority and rule is in the hearts of some people in this country." -- Chris Matthews
15) Disliking Barack Obama: "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that hes African-American." -- Jimmy Carter
