The GOP hates Obama so much, they are trying to endanger his children?

[Quantum Windbag]

Try again. Provide context.

You did not ask for context until you found out other presidents have been called uppity.

God you're a dumbass.

Name another president that has been called "uppity"...

You can't even prove how old your cryptic quote is. Who knows what it was actually referring to? Try to get though that fog your meds created when they scrambled what little brains you have left over from your paper bag and glue sniffing days.

It was referring to John Adams, and it said he was uppity, why is that complicated?

Sasha and Malia Obama are quietly vacationing at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Breitbart News has learned.
A source tipped Breitbart News off to the First Daughters’ spring vacation, which was not publicly announced or reported.

Exclusive: Sasha, Malia Obama Vacation at Bahamas' 'Atlantis' Resort

Breitbart Ignores Obama Daughters? Security By Publishing Vacation Location | The New Civil Rights Movement

So Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle — the same hack who “reported” for The Daily Caller the now shot-to-hell bogus story about Democratic Senator Bob Menendez supposedly having sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic — just published at Breitbart (because, Obama,) an “article” revealing the exact location of Sasha and Malia, President Obama’s daughters, because, Obama.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The right wing has attacked the presidents children for the school they go to, for having security. Even the NRA has attacked them publicly.

And now they publish these children's where-a-bouts just so they could put them in danger? What is it the right wing wants to happen to these two little girls?

Just when you think the right has gotten as despicable and they can be, they go a little lower.

GOP calls Obama Uppity

Rush
Peggy
Gingrich
Hannity
and other Republicans think Obama and his wife are "uppity".

SCREAM: WE ARE NOT RACIST!

Uppity????

Uppity????

Do any right wingers know a white politician who is "uppity"???? Where have they used "uppity" when describing a white politician?

You are an asshole. I notice you failed to quote this from your first link:

Social media, including Twitter and Facebook, have also carried reports of the First Daughters' presence at Atlantis. One person who is at the resort wrote: “Rumor confirmed: friends saw the first daughters with a gaggle of friends being escorted to the held elevator.”

Via Twitter, another person wrote: “Obama daughters at the same restaurant as me...in the bahamas.”

I guess all those Twitters, social medias and Facebook people are rightwing, eh weanie?

Uppity means snobbish, arrogant, elitist, which is what Obama is. Weanie says "no, no! It is because he is black -- no other president has been called uppity!" You moron. One needs look no further than his actions and poses to see what a snoot he is. But please do continue blaming it on the color of his skin. Why do you hate people of color, weanie? You're such a tool.

Other politicians who are uppity: Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Newt Gingrich. Uppity snooty snoots the lot of them.

Republicans see Obama as arrogant because he is a smart black man.

Almost everyone has forgotten about the President visit to the Republican retreat, but evidently the GOP members have a long and bitter memory. President Obama was actually invited to talk with the Republican caucus in the middle of the health care reform debate. A few days before the visit the White House asked that cameras be allowed to stay on while the President took question from the GOP members. The Republicans agreed to this request. When he came the Republicans proceeded to try and embarrass the President with a number of "questions" which were framed in such a way to bring out their talking points and corner the President. However, the President proved to be a better debater than they thought. He pointed out the factual errors in many of their questions, at times by using accurate and complicated statistics from memory (contrary to the common teleprompter myth). Nearly every analysts, including Republicans, agreed that the President got the better end of the debate even though he was literally taking on the entire Republican congressional caucus. Many saw the event as the turning point in the health care debate when the President took on some of the myths about the reform.

Republicans still mad Obama embarrassed them ten months ago at their retreat - National Political Buzz | Examiner.com

People see him as arrogant because he is arrogant. And when he doesn't get his way? He's petulant, like a four year old. Pouty and foot-stomping.

Listen I understand you contempt for the President doing what every white president before him has done. I get that. But what you don't get is despite his race and the perception of snobbery, the trappings come with the office.
You and your ilk, undoubtedly, "balked" at the notion of The Cosby Show, featuring a black gynecologist with a lawyer wife....demonstratively "upper middle class", as "unrealistic".
Sorry, but those types exist, contrary to your stereotype. I grew up middle middle class. it happens. And uppity is short of a racial pejorative, usually applied, exclusively, to blacks, whom folks feel, transcend their assigned places. Nice try, though.

Oh please. How many times has "Hail to the Chief" been played? Are they not supposed to play it for President Obama, and why? Pomp and circumstance? State dinners? The Kennedy Honors? And all previous presidents were white. Barack Obama's presidency is unprecedented.

The mere fact that you stereotype the Obamas as "anti-Huxtables", means that you don't get "it". And what do you mean that the show was unrealistic? By whose standards? Yours?

Uppity, as a rule, or matter of convention, seems only to be applied to "blacks", who transcend their stations, in the eyes of whites, who'd rather keep them there. No one thinks of whites as "uppity". So, no comment was necessary.


You know, one of the earliest posts I read of yours was something along the lines of you treating people as people, rather than by the color of their skin. I even pos repped you for it. After reading many more of your posts I see that you were just paying lip service earlier. Too bad.

I'm sorry if you feel that I don't treat people as people. I was raised to do that. I think some people feel entitled to be treated differently, because of the color of their skin. I balk at that.
How curious that because you pos repped me, you'd believe that I would act differently than I normally do. My recommendation is not to believe everything that is written, or heard. And to think outside of your "box".

Nope, he is an elitist snoot and his actions speak oh so loudly to this. Did you know that while the rest of us peons are tightening our belts, doing without, not having WH tours ... sequestered if you will .... why old Ba-rock is having himself a mighty fine concert filled with the finest of fine Hollywood elite snoots. True story. I calls 'em as I sees 'em and Ba-rock is an uppity snob. And yes, the man pouts and sulks when he doesn't get his way or when someone dares disagree with him. Apparently his mother never said no to him as a child. Poor thing.

Give me a break. If the Republican leadership had their way, you wouldn't even be able to afford that computer you are writing on. They want every cent in this country to belong to the top 1%. Their policies prove it. And so you want Obama to live as poor as you do? Why not go after your leadership? Duh!

Ideological idiocy. You are selling simplistic class warfare.
Everyone, even loony libs must know a rising economic tide raises all ships and the conservative approach is sustainable, long-term growth. Dems, on the other hand, are beholoden to those (like unions) who care only about their own instant gratification and fiefdoms. It can appear like it's us against them but in reality it's careful economic planning vs. lets-have-a-party!

Totally missing the point and "not false. I said I understand your contempt . President Obama doing everything that previous white presidents have done breeds contempt (and is perceived as "a snob") in those who feel that a black man is not equal to a white man, and shouldn't transcend his assigned place, in scope or reach. The fact that he dismisses that perception doesn't justify the perception. Illogical fallacy.

I find it interesting that you say 'you don't know me' (referring to yourself) yet you presume to know me by assigning my use of the word uppity with having contempt (which is percevied as 'a snob') for Obama because he is black.

Perhaps I haven't been clear (although tbh, I have explained this several times). Obama isn't uppity because of his skin color, he is uppity because of what he does. His actions. This has zero to do with your concept of black not being equal to white. If that is your perception, fine. But do not assign that to me when I've not implied such.

When the country is in the throws of an awful economy/recession and the president says we all have to tighten our belts, then turns around and spends millions of taxpayer bucks on vacations ... yes, that is seen as uppity. NOT because he's black but because he sees himself as above the fray. I don't begrudge any president or their family vacation, but why wasn't something more modest, say Camp David, good enough? When the president says things like 'this sequester is going to be very painful for Americans' and closes down WH tours but then turns around and throws a big concert with the Hollywodd elite? You bet your sweet bippy that's uppity. Again, NOT because he is black but because of the message it sends ... he is better than the rest of us.

Oh please. How many times has "Hail to the Chief" been played? Are they not supposed to play it for President Obama, and why? Pomp and circumstance? State dinners? The Kennedy Honors? And all previous presidents were white. Barack Obama's presidency is unprecedented. He is "black" (for all practical purposes) and the most powerful man in the world....and many whites see him as "uppity". And? That's supposed to mean something?

Where did I ever say they weren't suppose to play Hail To the Chief for Obama? He's the president, why wouldn't they play that for him? Kennedy Honors? Where did I ever mention that? State dinners? Of course he holds state dinners, he's the president of the U.S. That's what presidents do. All of them. Pomp and circumstance? Where do you even come up with this tripe? Explaining once again, he is seen as uppity because of his actions (see example above) not because of his skin color. Had Bush or Clinton acted in the same manner I'd have called them uppity as well. They didn't, so I don't. Get it?

Wow. You're going to lecture me about Bill Cosby and the Cosby Show. I am The Cosby Show. And if you knew my connection to it, you'd be embarrassed. I grew up listening to Bill Cosby's comedy albums. Did you? As for his common sense......Was Bill Cosby right about race in America? - books - History Politics - TODAY.com
The mere fact that you stereotype the Obamas as "anti-Huxtables", means that you don't get "it". And what do you mean that the show was unrealistic? By whose standards? Yours?

I don't know what you mean that 'you are The Cosby Show'. Your father was a doctor and your mother a lawyer, lots of siblings? <shrug> And? If I knew your connection to the show I'd be embarassed? wtf does that even mean?

Your link? I was going to post his actual speech ... obviously I should have. Bill Cosby's common sense is spot on and I agree with him.

I don't see the Obamas as anti-Huxtible. wtf does that even mean? Tbh, I should clarify. I do not see Michelle Obama as snooty, in her actions and how she treats others. She seems fairly down to earth. Barack is the who comes across as looking down upon us peons. Again, not because he is black but because of his actions and his attitude. I included Michelle because her actions of things like sending her children off on taxpayer funded spring vacations to resorts while the rest of the country is struggling .... well, her actions speak volumes. But no, she does not come across as looking down upon people, I don't get that from her.

I see skin color???? WTF? The reason the show was so successful is because they rendered skin color "a moot point". You don't know me.

Well it seems that way to me. Your description of the Huxtables:

The Cosby Show, featuring a black gynecologist with a lawyer wife ...

My description of the Huxtables:

Claire and Cliff Huxtable were a successful lawyer and doctor ...

See any difference in our description? I'm not the one who sees skin color.

Uh, I knew the definition , beforehand....quite "uppity" of you to think that I needed a refresher. I have dictionaries at my disposal, and there are few words that I don't know the meaning of, having studied Latin, for 3 years.....and German for 2...English being a Germanic derivative. (that's me, being "uppity")

Well if you know the definition of the word uppity why are you implying that you don't? You know, blacks don't have dibs on that word. Was it onced used in a derogotory manner (referencing uppity ******)? Yes, it was. And? I provided the actual definintion because that is how Barack Obama comes across to many people. He comes across as 'better than' NOT because he is black but because of his actions/attitude. I've also referred to him as snooty and elitist. They all mean the same thing. Oh, he's also extremely divisive. Do you think I say that because he is black? If yes then you'd be just as wrong as you are about why I see him as uppity.

btw, I don't get uppity from you at all. While we may have a difference of opinions and such I do not get a sense that you feel you are better than me.

Uppity, as a rule, or matter of convention, seems only to be applied to "blacks", who transcend their stations, in the eyes of whites, who'd rather keep them there. No one thinks of whites as "uppity". So, no comment was necessary.

False! You may perceive that but it is not true, at least as far as I am using the word. Do some people? No doubt. Am I? Not in the least. You know, I was catching up on Shameless last night. Was watching S3E9. At the 4:50 second mark Frank is asked what he's reading about in the newspaper. He says "Bunch of uppity queers claiming that domestic partnership rights are not good enough for them". Now, if you hear his use of the word uppity (queers) referring to black gay people, well then that's how you hear it. I hear it as 'gay people who think they're better than the rest of us. My take on his use of the word is supported by the rest of his sentence. Uppity means that someone thinks they are better than someone else.

Once, long ago? Sure. Now? Nope. Know who is as uppity as they come? Nancy Pelosi. It is palpable in her. I mean it's like she is patting the poor, little common man's head when she speaks. She's white. Her skin color has zilch to do with her uppitiness, it is her actions/attitude towards others.

I'm sorry if you feel that I don't treat people as people. I was raised to do that. I think some people feel entitled to be treated differently, because of the color of their skin. I balk at that.

We are very much in agreement on this. Yet another thing we have in common. Are you going to knock that as well, like you did about me saying we both grew up middle class?

How curious that because you pos repped me, you'd believe that I would act differently than I normally do. My recommendation is not to believe everything that is written, or heard. And to think outside of your "box".

I + repped you because you came across as someone who treats people as people, rather than seeing skin color. Your responses to me seem to indicate that I am wrong. Am I?

Sorry, I don't have a 'box'. I don't treat people based on anything other than their actions and how they treat me.

 

[Zoom-boing]

Just between you and me, a lot of ******* are "uppity", right? It's OK, I won't tell anyone. Tell me what you "really" think. I promise not to "quote" it. It will be our secret.

I don't know any *******, weannie. The woman up the street from me is uppity. She looks down on other people, likes to imply that she comes from old Mainline money (she doesn't), that she's better than others ... and she's as white as they come.

Totally missing the point and "not false. I said I understand your contempt . President Obama doing everything that previous white presidents have done breeds contempt (and is perceived as "a snob") in those who feel that a black man is not equal to a white man, and shouldn't transcend his assigned place, in scope or reach. The fact that he dismisses that perception doesn't justify the perception. Illogical fallacy.

I find it interesting that you say 'you don't know me' (referring to yourself) yet you presume to know me by assigning my use of the word uppity with having contempt (which is percevied as 'a snob') for Obama because he is black.

Perhaps I haven't been clear (although tbh, I have explained this several times). Obama isn't uppity because of his skin color, he is uppity because of what he does. His actions. This has zero to do with your concept of black not being equal to white. If that is your perception, fine. But do not assign that to me when I've not implied such.

When the country is in the throws of an awful economy/recession and the president says we all have to tighten our belts, then turns around and spends millions of taxpayer bucks on vacations ... yes, that is seen as uppity.
