Is this racist:
White people like fried Chicken because it is an economical choice in meat.
Black people like fried Chicken because they are Black
White people drive erratically because they are unfamiliar with an area or not paying attention to road signs
Asians drive erratically because they are Asians
White people work hard because they have are honest and have respect for labor
Mexicans work hard because they are Mexican
White people who are good dancers have obviously spent hours of practice learning complex movements
Black people are good dancers because they are Black
To make a decision about a persons behavior and attributied to their culture or skiin tone is racist. Particulary if it is a behavior that all of us do.

So why do birthers, extreme right wing tin foil conspiracy theorists get all bent out of shape when you bring up birthers and conspiracy nuts?
What does this have to do with anything?
Those are "labels" that liberals make up, and all the time, to make themselves feel better about people who support issues they don't and never will even be able to comprehend.
Any Bush hater who wanted to/still wants to see his grades form Harvard, but turns a blind eye to the questions that still remain regarding Obama's place of birth, is doing a "good job". Should those libs have been called "Graders"? Where was the fancy name made up to belittle those people?
Liberals are the first to qualify and label and stereotype groups of people who vote a certain way, have certain jobs, make more money than they do, live in a certain area of the country, drive a certain type vehicle, etc. Let alone anyone who doesn't BELIEVE or THINK like they do. Not to mention the FIRST to scream, yell and kick when they don't like what they DO being done to "others"....who they support.

So get over it.
I am a far cry from being a Liberal, but I do believe that there is a right wing agenda full of Tea Partists, and birthers against Obama. Not too many of us wanted to see Bush's grades while he was in Harvard because in 8 years we saw what he was capable of in office and that grade would be an "F". It may boggle some how he wasn't able to have proper command of the English language and still attended Harvard, but that is neither here nor there. I guess that year he received entry into Harvard;Harvard had to meet their quota of spoiled drunks who are sons of politicians must be given entrance into the school for funding. That's all that was..Happens every day.
When a liberal lives better than a birther or anyone from the right wing;then they are referred to as an Elitist. If one were to have to chose between right winged birther that doesn't make any sense and who is insulting this beautiful country by questioning the Commander in Cheif's heritage or one who wants to see the country move in the right direction and work together for that cause --then Elitism is the way to go. Just seems like the intelligent choice

Again with the labels.

Well if you need a wordsmith and a charmer to make you feel good, it's your problem that you get so easily bamboozled and can't read between the lines.

Huh? You make no sense at all. You want to question grades and public speaking, but not heritage...b/c that would be an insult to something much lesser of an issue than who had a better GPA: Kerry or Bush?
And all liberals are self-proclaimed intellectuals and spin their lack of anything and everything to be someone else's fault....or hold some guilt b/c they were born with a million dollar spoon in their mouth, or didn't have to do anything other than act for a living....so there really is no "intelligent choice" behind liberal "elitism".

Who cares about Bush's grades in Harvard--its a non issue. Everyone knows he is a dumbass. There's another label for ya!!
The days of white men with gray hair running the White House is now over..whether in 2012, 2016,2020...You will see there will be a female, a Jewish, A Middle Eastern (Bobby Jindal), a Latino be Commander in Chief in the future. Heritage is a non issue when you see you had someone in office for 8 years that seemed like and carried himself as if he came out of baboons ass. I respected his position as President.
If Bush came out and said he was not a true American and proclaimed that he secretly was a Muslim--Only then would I give him a pass to the egregious mess he left this country in. Then I could say and understand why his thinking and English were not too good...

That's not the issue. The position is respected, but no one has to respect the current POTUS either b/c he carries himself as if he came out of a baboons ass too. Nice try.

So you think Muslims are stupid, can't think, run a country or speak "real good"?
What is amusing is that Whites are unaware of how many stereotypes minorities particularly Asians have about them. The other day, I was having dinner at my Asian friend's place and his mom, an M.D., was talking about White kids as patients in medicine She said
"All the White kids are hyperactive and misbehaved. They all seem to be on some type of ADD medication. Why is it that white parents bring in their undisciplined spastic children and blame their behavior on attention deficit disorder when in reality the white parents are just lazy bad parents who dope up their kids because they don't know how to discipline them"
I'm sure there are many, many stereotypes out there that I'm not aware of, I don't keep tabs. It's just FUNNY when you see them in action sometimes. Mostly because, deep down, I don't usually subscribe to them so when they do occur it's like being goosed by the universe or something.

Way to drive your point home.
You birthers are incredulous...Whoever said Muslims are stupid and can't think or run a country or speak well?? Do NOT put words in my mouth...You are steering far from the truth.
Muslims are highly intelligent and can and will one day run this country better than Bush ever did.
Bush was a poor representation of Americans. While I traveled abroad and met with individuals from across the world, you should see the disdain and the lack of respect other nations had for America because Bush being in office. Its a very sad state of affairs when you are in a foriegn nation and you hear others from other nations ridicule Bush because he was the dullest tool in the shed. What did he do in 8 years--NOTHING but run this country into the ground!!!
You have clearly made your point in that the only way to make a point is twisting and manipulating others words around....You can't even think for yourself. So pathetic!!! Go use your wit and humor somewhere else where it could actually promote a positive cause. But that would be too difficult for a birther to do.....

Tired of back-peddling yet?

Socialist countries? Maybe a few that were illegally getting oil from Iraq...? Or individuals from countries that still owe America for bailing them out of and reconstructing their countries after WWII?

You have clearly made your point in that you can't answer questions that are put to you or explain much of anything. But that's ok. I didn't expect very much.
