well at least you can admit you were baiting people.

why is the right always playing the race card? i've seen a couple of instances of people on the left calling people uncle toms on this board (which is a bad thing to do), and dozens and dozens of "look at this black person criticizing obama, oh i guess he's an uncle tom" from the right.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter are on the right?

Does that mean Che, Lenin and Castro were/are centrists?

did i say people on the right are the ONLY ones to use the "race card"? i've consistently said that people on the left are way too quick to cry racism any time obama is criticized.

i'm just turning around the language used constantly on here by the right, who then go on to point out every black person who criticizes obama as if that's some big revelation, and complain about instances where black people are racist to white people.

Het, it's dog and pony showtime!!!

Well what will they think of next, let's get a black man to mimic the same rhetoric as every other old white guy with Republican "values."

Better yet, we don't even have to insult Obama anymore we can just get the black guy to do it!

One black man preaching to a crowd of white people, please come up with a better prop next time!!

This is great, any African American no matter how obscure can rise to the top of conservative political circles just by being black and speaking against Obama.

Ya gotta love affirmative action.

there are a lot of uncle toms out there, to be honest. take the guy in the vid with a grain of salt. he holds no weight and doesn't speak for the larger community.

PS - Now that I think about it, perhaps I should start showing up at these tea bag/birther events and start spouting off anti-Obamaism (I sure have a mother lode of material from hanging out here) set me up a website with paypal and put my kid through college.

If poverty program pimping is dead, why not pimp a conservative?

And the "TOTUS" issue is just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen come out of conservatives. Although it has competition: Czars, birthers, death panels.

There's just a perfect storm of stupidity over there on the right.
There is a storm of stupidity but it blew in from the left.
More on
this left spawned hate storm later.

Aw, c'mon. TOTUS is the most lovable, funniest, charming, good-looking character to inhabit the White House in decades. Sure, he tends to jump in front of the cameras from time to time, probably checks himself out in the mirror once too often, too, but jeez, we love him or we wouldn't talk about him so much.
