Obama has been doing that ever since he came into office.

If they can't take it, they shouldn't be dishing it out.

"Through a written statement, Ricketts denied supporting this type of strategy, calling the leaked memo "one of several"
and affirming his plan to go after the president on the economy."

Who really did leak this story, and who actually benefits from it.

On MSNBC it was "BREAKING NEWS", "SHOCKING"

I think the Dems love this topic, and anything else that keeps the
discussions away from connecting Obama to his own record, and
our poor economic/fiscal disaster.

No one needs to drudge up the Reverent Wright/Obama past
to understand Obama's philosophy. It's quite simple.
Barrack likes to spend money we do not have
Next....

I've been asking for years why fewer Black Americans don't vote for the Democratic party. Can't they see that the race baiting tactics and fomenting of division by the Sharptons, Jacksons, and Obamas, are not in their long term interest?

If that is the case we know none of them will be ex- dems.

Maybe it was "I" who misunderstood your comment?

There was no indication as to who or what you were responding to here?

Was it tongue -n-cheek?

Were you equating "sundry Republican candidates" to Romney, the Klan, Aryan Nations, etc.?
Were you saying that it is/was the Republicans that were in support of these ideologues?

Again .. your response to whatever you were responding to was not exactly clear!

If I made a mistake in my @ $ $umption then .. I stand corrected and 'humiliated'!

According to the book Hillary even said at one point how much she would love to get her hands on their internal memos to see the race baiting strategies in black & white (pun intended).

And the NYT has no room to act shocked, shocked after the "white hispanic" escapade that even the WA Post said "raised eybrows" for its race-baiting aspect.
Um....if you are referring to Zimmerman, that whole "white hispanic" thing started with the Orlando media, not the NYT.

It's funny ol' Jeremiah had nothing to do with Obama, even though Obama paid him off to shut him up. Now all at once religion matters? Nice.
Oddly, there are many white members of the church that the Obamas attended in Chicago; the main church membership is predominately white.
They understood and tolerated Reverend Wright's interest in Black Liberation Theology. President Obama won by many votes, and they were from virtually every demographic; society at large is less racist than we might witness here. The race card was played when Rush played "Barack the Magic Negro," and went undenounced by the GOP. Now every racist in the U.S. feels not only empowered to advocate violence against other racial groups or individuals, but even to anonymous strangers on a social networking site. Thank you, Rush...Americans can now see which of their neighbors are openly prejudiced.

No frankly, I cannot. I'd have to see the context. But to label as racist anyone who uses the term 'urban youth' or the phrase 'take our country back' is completely absurd on its face.
