Conservative joke: President Obama Steals The White House Silverware | TPM2012

That's right- you gotta with them darkies ever minute, else they'll steal ya blind!!! Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck...

Man, it is RIGHT UNDER THE SURFACE with these people, isn't it?
Looks like more code to the repug base, they sneak it in when they can.
Probably will be effective for etch-a-sketch among his followers, but nobody else.

That is the question you need to answer...

Were the Clintons of a minority race? I know Bill was referred to as the first black president but I didn't realize that was serious. It is unfortunate that they were caught stealing from the taxpayers as they were walking out the door but you don't seem too concerned with the facts.

Your opinion about how people perceived the comment says a lot. Maybe the question that needs to be answered is why you would come to that conclusion.

Speculation on your part does not fall in line with the facts.

As does your own past (and frequent) "speculation" here re: gays, blacks, "illegals" and "joos" (aka, "anyone that ain't like us....").

What part of the Clinton's took the silverware when they left the WH do you not understand?
Never let the truth get in the way of a nutty conspiracy theory...

Show me the posts because you are lying. Since this is a frequent occurance it should be easy.

Maintaining a just, liberal, safe society COSTS LOTS OF MONEY. We don't get to pick and choose where our tax money goes ( except generally, through elections). Are you not willing to contribute your share? Are you a member of society, or not? Do you want to reap the benefits, but not pay the freight? Are you a free-loader?

What you SOUND like, is a Libertarian. I respect that. And if we all lived in the woods, and seldom encountered each other, that would be a viable social philosophy.

But that ain't the case.
You are accusing that poster of dodging, but aren't you dodging that it likely is a reference to the Clintons removing 190K worth of items that they were suppose to leave in the White House?

Are you dodging this so that you can play the race card?

It's really all the Obama supporters have at this point.

My follow up question to Gurbie is: Is it not racist to ignore facts so that you can continue to play the race card?

The race card is thrown early and often and then they move on to another thread.

Yes they are, you should read the threads where Michelle is spoken about. Talk about nastiness.
