If You Disagree with President Obama You Must be a Racist - Godfather Politics

You can disagree with his policies just fine. I, for one, disagree with the individual mandate in the healthcare law he signed.

But when you are saying "well he is a communist" or "He's a Muslim" or "He isn't American", the odds are that your feelings of dislike against the President are more than likely going to show you are a racist.

That doesn't mean you are, you could just be uneducated on the issues.

Disagreeing with his policies doesn't make you a racist, its when someone makes crap up that simply isn't true, then they are probably a racist to some degree.

You're either saying that criticizing Obama's policies are racist or calling Obama a White-hater & looking to give reparations to Black is NOT racist...

Care to expound?

Why? Could it not be just plain partisanship? Its not unprecedented you know. Why assume "racism"?

Unless the partisanship is trying to unstabilize the country, why make up crap about someone? If your ideas are so much better, let them stand on their own merits, right?

No, if you don't have good ideas to float, then you use lies that support racial stereotypes to draw attention away from you. That means you're either a master manipulator, or you are a racist. At least your using racisim as a weapon.

None of which is honorable or honest, or good for the country.

Plenty to hit Obama with, without making up racist crap.

You're a racist for being a birther, labeling him as "different" or as a foreigner when you don't ask any similar questions, or request the same level of credential of white candidates.

Thanks for allowing me to explain why you're a racist.
Thanks for explaining. I still don't understand, since I am not a bit racist where Obama is concerned. I do not like his policies, most of them anyway, but the color of his skin has nothing to do with that. What white candidates have been asked any of those questions? I haven't seen any of that except that the left went after McCain and are hard after Rubio now. I think that it is policy with me and Obama but you blame me for being racist because I am not sure he is a natural born citizen. I don't see any accusations about his race in that but then I don't lean left, either.

Which of my remarks in that post had anything to do with Obama's race? I did ask about a black man disagreeing with his policies but didn't say anything about his race. You are just in that good old left mode of operation and read words with it.

As many as it takes. Is there a reason why you read and write in a thread you don't like? What reason could it possibly be?

Crawl into the deepest recesses of Obama's mind and look into that the darkest corner. Ask this question- if this man has a desire and a dream that all white people cease to exist- would he be pleased with that scenario? I would say from what I sense the answer would be yes....ask also would it please him if all Christians stopped existing and America as we know it disappeared off the face of the earth- would he also like that idea...? Some little voice in me says that he harbors all these mentioned secret hopes deep in his mind- Evidently he as done nothing to sustain the nation and keep it strong- so what is his real motivation- what is the sub-text here?

Oh good, so now we're making judgments based on some imaginary game you want to get us to play?
