The manner of use was the problem.
Agreed, but how did that mean the "GOP"?

You guys should leave him alone. After all he is just, and I quote Obama, a "typical white person".



Oh...no problems there, though. Hypocrisy is thy name.

You see no problem with "typical white person" just because Obama said it?

And all the guy said was the jew. He is a jew, right?

You said the guy is a typical white person per Obama's definition. The guy defined himself as a religious bigot. I dont think he's a typical white person. Quote me that-there Obama definition and show me the "religious bigot" part.

You must, must be being disingenuous with "He is a Jew, right"?

So Obama can demean every white person but its ok because it had nothing to do with religion. Got it.

Please show a quote where Obama demeaned every white person. (I mean, outside of what Rush Limpbutt thinks.)

And don't forget to include that linky thing, so we can all verify your veracity.

Thanks so very much.

A public controversy erupted after a speech by Watt on September 21, 1983, when he said about his staff: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."[13] Within weeks of making this statement, Watt submitted his resignation letter.

Per Wikipedia. James G Watt, dude in Reagan's cabinet.

Haha, admit he said nothing about religious bigotry, which you - not he and not me and not most other normal people - jumped to define as typical of all white people.
