Obama did not introduce the race card
by larbabe

As I’ve mentioned in the past, the race card was not introduced by Barack Obama, but by those who are frightened by the aspect of a black man becoming president of the United States. 3 in 10 Americans admit to race bias.

Now, comes the news: White supremacists: Obama presidency could boost their cause.

What does he mean by, "They are going to try to make you afraid of me". "They are going to tell you I have a funny name"? "They are going to say, he doesn't look like the other Presidents on dollar bills"?

Of course he was referring to being black. Well, who is afraid of the big black wolf???

Not this guy. I am scared shitless of his politics though and consider him dangerously Liberal, too inexperienced and too naive. I don't think he is too tan.

Actually, the burgeoning list of GOP Family Values Hypocrites are the greatest laugh of all.

Rep. Vito Fossella (NY) has now been added to Larbabe's Complete List of Family Values Hypocrites. Fossella joins other recent inductees such as Sen, Larry Craig, Sen. David Vitter, Rep. Mark Foley, Rep. Bill Livingston, and Young Republican National Federation Chairperson Glenn Murphy, including a smattering of Moral Majority perverts such as Neal Horsley and Louis Beres.

This is the one and only up-to-date comprehensive list of GOP scumbags, provided as a reminder to Democrats that they are morally inferior to Republicans. This list is alphabetized, and with original links. You can’t find it anywhere else but here at Daily Kos. Feel free to pass it along to your GOP friends and neighbors.

Remember, Ted Bundy was once a young rising star in the GOP.

My list is too numerous to print here (over 90 names). Many of these self-righteous people had pointed the finger at Bill Clinton for his moral indiscrepencies. To read about some of your favorites go here

Bill Clinton is just the most famous is all, he didn't invent anything.

BUT, I think its halarious that you keep a list of Republicans, Do you have a bi-political list or are you just homo for Republicans?

Exactly as wingnuts have done; accuse Obama of being a Muslim, liken him to a monkey (even though Obama is Harvard-educated), and refer to Obama by his middle name, often substituting Obama for Osama. When it comes to slime, not one can top the GOP.

It amazes me that you display such an enormous amount of ignorance regarding Bill Clinton, yet you stay friends with Hillary supporters here. Just a reminder about Clinton:

President Clinton and Vice President Gore's economic plan was enacted without a single Republican vote. Vice President Gore broke a tie on August 6, 1993 to pass the measure in the Senate and President Clinton signed the 1993 Budget Reconciliation into law four days later. Their bold, three-part strategy established fiscal discipline; invested in education, health care, science and technology; and opened foreign markets so that American workers have a fair chance to compete abroad.

Passage of the economic plan was a historic turning point, reversing 12 years of trickle-down economics and turning the largest deficit in history into the largest budget surplus in history. It also committed the country to a path of fiscal discipline that helped unleash the productive potential of the American people, contributing to the longest economic expansion in history, including the creation of over 22 million jobs, the lowest unemployment and inflation rates in a generation, rising wages and the highest homeownership rates on record. Today, working families are enjoying the benefits of this comprehensive plan and the course of fiscal discipline it established.

Clinton's years in office will be looked upon as one of the most prosperous times in the history of this country. Not only was the inherited national debt whittled away to a fraction of what it was before he took office, but our budget was in the black. Most historians point to the 1993 tax plan as the decisive factor in the turn-around. Not one Republican voted in favor of the tax plan.

The country benefited under Clinton's leadership in many other ways as well. Teen pregnancy dropped 22 percent. Between 1993 and 1999, the crime rate dropped by roughly the same amount, and the welfare rolls declined 49 percent. Divorce, teen drinking, teen suicide, and abortion also grew more rare. As the magazine of the conservative American Enterprise Institute put it in 1999, "The alarm bells rung by cultural conservatives seem to have been heeded by many Americans, and a new pattern of recovery and even reversal has emerged."

Under Clinton’s leadership, abortion rate dropped significantly from 24% (when he took office to 16% (In 1999).

What about his history of stealing watermelons and basketballs???

Are those false?

I'm not against all those "things"; I am against his Liberal voting record. I think he is a world class liar.

middle name?

How is referring to Obama by his middle name an error?

Why else would anyone refer to it other than proving their hatred and bigotry?

Um, because it is his middle name?

Why would you consider a name worthy of bigotry and hatred?

Re: Um, because it is his middle name?

You know that I don't. You also know that it's use is done mostly by right wing nuts that harbor the hate and bigotry that I mentioned.
I don't know "you don't". You appear
by berzerker

to be very worried about it.

It is kind of like how liberals like to claim that those people who are against homosexuality are likely "latent" homosexuals. They use that term "latent" in an attempt to ridicule those people or to deter people from being anti-homosexual....but how do you ridicule someone...if you don't think the "joke" is about something offensive?

Ergo, those people who use that claim, are in fact themselves bigotted anti-homosexuals.

Even worse, if they actually BELIEVE it... since the the vast majority of people ARE anti-homosexual...they really BELIEVE that homosexuals are vastly made up of psychologically impaired people. THAT is a pretty big slam of a group of people.
