So, when Obama jumped to the conclusion that the white policeman "acted stupidly" before even knowing the facts is...what?

Please, you libs act outraged and play the race card whenever you have nothing else, which is most of the time. Get off the soapbox already and look at what's happening to your country.

I only wish that minorities would open their eyes and realize that the libs have done far more to oppress them than to help them. Affirmative action, welfare,and other entitlement programs do nothing to really help people. You end up with generations that don't know how to become self sufficient, and even worse, really don't want to be. But then, a self sufficient public is not what the dems want. They'd rather keep those government handouts coming...can you say voter base.

The race card is easily used by the dems - those same people that are sucking the taxpayers dry are more than happy to believe that they're being oppressed by "those racists". They would much rather believe that than rock the boat that's the source of their freebies.

Try encouraging people to be law abiding, self reliant taypayers instead of leeches sucking the blood of society.

Not racist, but - in the speech Obama says "our gay brothers and sisters"; this is transcribed as "our gay dead brothers and sisters".

Obama Stokes Racism at NAALCP

Oh, "NAALCP" - also.

Is this all right with you? Is he giving you what you want?
I don't listen to Rush. Actually I've only heard is show a few very short times so I really don't have an opinion if he is a racist or not. It seems that these days, a racist is a matter of opinion. Everyone sees racist things differently, some over react and some people it doesn't bother at all.

The only saving grace is that he's an old fart and is getting older (and more demented) by the day. Eventually, he and his ilk, will go the way of the dinosaur (become extinct) and all they will be is dust in the wind...and a faint reminder of the days when America was held hostage by hate and fear-mongering.

the link is in the OP; Rush also calls the NAACP the "NAALCP". All these right wingers posting in this thread seem well aware of this editing over there but it was news to me.
Yeah, that's the same thing you said in your OP. I still don't understand why it's racist. Can you elaborate?

Thanks.

Put it this way. I doubt that he used dialect in his transcripts of GWB's speeches.

I call BS on that immediately...I voted for Mr Obama...I'm as black as the day is long...but I've said this elsewhere on CD and I'll say it again, for your benefit---voting for and supporting someone does NOT preclude you having the right to 'rip him a new one' if he's wrong about something, or if you have questions...

I think it's downright damned dumb to label someone a racist if they don't agree with the President...as we've all seen recently, there are a LOT of folks who disagree with him, both supporters AND non-supporters, and to call them racists for not agreeing sinks to new depths of stupidity...I certainly don't think that, and I will NOT try to stop someone else from speaking their minds...just wish that the 'R' word wouldn't get bounced back and forth so much

Thats because GWB sounded the same regardless of the crowd he was talking too.

Put it this way, I bet the left never made fun of GWB's dialect, right?

well, thanks to all of you for proving that you dont mind Rush's racism. I wondered, now I know.
Are you sure he is a racist, or does he just not like Liberal black folk? and if so does that still make him a racist?
