BS, you know I'm right. Tempest and No jive would have something like this 10 pages before you knew it, if it had a source or not.....

Maybe you don't post a lot here anymore? Or see the ignorant threads I do....

God forbid. God forbid someone should make a derogatory remark about someone else in an e-mail.

Anyone want to queue up the video of Darth Cheney using that naughty word about a reporter on an open mic? I know I was gravely offended when that happened.

BTW, are right-wingers playing the gender card again?

Is it okay when your side does it?

You just can't confront that Obama is not perfect.

Please give me a list of Obama's mistakes...lies, hypocrisy, broken promises...
Please provide some of these items.
Or are you making it up?

It's amazing how often people don't see the irony in that. Argument is "People make baseless accusations of racism" Answer is "you're a racist" In refuting the point, you actually prove it

And your question "who lives in Chicago" also proves the point. Your argument isn't that the comment was actually racist. Your argument implies that since it was said about black people, it is therefore racist. There's a difference there that many liberals either can't or won't see.

See, the racism part should come first and the black part should come second. A comment is racist because it is racist. Not because it was said to or about people who happen to be black.

Is a comment about the Southern rednecks racist? If not, neither is a comment about Chicago ghetto pimps.

If it is, then how come derogatory comments about Southerners do not draw the ire of the race-conscious liberals?

If the comment had been the "N" word, then it would have been racist. That's actually about race. But a comment about particular people who live in a particular place is not racist. It doesn't matter what race they are, because the comment wasn't about race. It was about those specific people.

Essentially, the comment wasn't "these people are bad because they're black". It was "these people are bad because they are thugs". Now, if the people the comment was referring to had no connection to Chicago, you might have more of a point. That raises the question "why specify Chicago except that the people there are black?" But in this case the people being insulted actually are from Chicago and from the ghetto (community organizer) and the comment itself did not mention race. So where's the racism?
You're trying too hard. I think most everyone with an IQ above room temperature understands the transparent gambit you guys attempt to roll out each time to immunize yourselves against being justifiably painted as prejudiced individuals. Some cretin makes a prejudiced comment about blacks on this forum, someone else calls them on it and then one of you troglodytes starts screeching that the respondent is "playing the race card" by noting the prejudicial comments of the original idiot.

Oddly enough, I actually respect the prejudiced folks who own up to their prejudices from the outset, at least they have the guts to admit it. These pathetic cowards on here who make prejudicial statements and then cower, trying to conceal it by painting the people who don't make prejudiced statements as "the real racists" who are "playing the race card" are beneath contempt.

Whoops, you're correct, that was Dubs, not Cheeeeeney who made that statement. Then again, didn't Cheeeeeney swear at Patrick Leahy?

This thread would have triple the posts if this were a non-Democrat Administration doing this. It would be headline news for weeks. You would see hollywood come out in full force going after the non-Democrat Administration.

Yet, it is Obama. The story is largely ignored and his Admin is yet again, given a pass.

It bears repeating. Our media/Hollywood are corrupt, hypocrites. Most prominent liberals have no values, decency. They are nothing but hypocritical dirt bags who will do anything to get their agenda pushed forward. Ignore, cover, defend their own, yet bash, destroy, lie about the other side constantly.

Could you imagine had this been about Romney during the campaign???? It would have exploded instantly and you'd hear about it so often you would get sick of it with in a day. Every single person in this country would know about it. But, its just Obama's Admin, nothing to see here of course......

I personally couldn't care less who thinks I'm racist. Most of the spewers are on my ignore list, anyway, so let 'em spew.

I got over the race thing a very long time ago.

When I first meet someone, that person gets a fair shake, with no preconceived notions. From that point on, it's up to the person to determine the course of my opinion. I wouldn't expect the 'no personal responsibility' crowd to understand that, though.

You could easily research this yourself, on page one of this folder.
