I just tried an advanced search here to find out if it was posted...nothing came up. Why didn't one of our resident cons post the video of President Obama referring slaves to immigrants? Can someone else search for it? I'd like to see if I made a post on it. Thanks. Oh and btw, I haven't watched the OPs video yet since I'm at work.

But by your own logic, you have no proof anyone was a hypocrite. Im the only one from the left commenting here, and I have condemned both.

Huh? You made a claim and now can't back it up.

As for your challenge to me: the speech was broadcast live on national cable television (C-SPAN), which means that journalists paid to watch the president's every word (and this isn't even getting into the fact that there is a traveling press pool that goes everywhere with the president for the EXACT purpose of being able to record the president's actions/words in real time for the historical record) heard him utter those words. The average American may not have been watching such a speech (I mean, let's be serious: who really watches C-SPAN), but the main stream media certainly were.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

... and it caused an uproar then; one that brain surgeon Ben Carson should have been smart enough not to repeat.

Indeed.

Imagine if Trump said exactly the same thing. We'd be having a nuclear winter from all the false outrage from the very people who now make excuse for Obama.

Proof? I don't recall an "uproar." And the media certainly hasn't been referencing such a point for comparison purposes when calling out Carson for his remarks. Now, this isn't to say that there was zero press devoted to criticizing the president, but, if there was some media attention, it certainly wasn't on the same scale as the attacks against Carson are today. I would have remembered it if so.

You don't understand that the Republicans haven't hyperventilated over every little thing for the last 8 years the way the Dems are doing now?

Both sides are bad, but I've never seen anything like the last few months. This is a good reminder not to freak out over every word. It also shows how one-sided the media is.

Proof? There wasn't even a thread posted here, so it appears to have gotten little to no media coverage.
