Bunning/repugs/neocons = It's RACISM!

[ensho]

you are fooling yourself if you think the repug machinations aren't racism.

they are not stalling or saying no to everything because of the economy/debt. debt they don't care about re: smirk's time in the W.H.

they don't care about any american except the white wealthy and powerful.

they throw up everyday over the fact that a black man is President.

there is a thread here about not playing the race card. I haven't read it because they ARE smirk, smirk, playing the race card.

you don't need your brain to tell you this, just use your eyes. the neo con punks are at least 90% white.

it is harmful to keep saying it isn't racism when it IS.

its stupid to be considerate of racists.

and its the white, racist neo con brass at the pentagon that is standing on Obama's neck.

if we want to save our country from white, racist neo con CEOs/politicians/lobbyists we better start speaking up and pointing out racism.

everybody in the world knows its racism.

1. How do you explain the hatred for Bill Clinton from these same folks?

[Common Sense Party]

3. Anti-Arkansasism?

[ensho]

7. they hated him because he was smart and won the Pres.

and he wouldn't play ball with them every time.

had nothing to do with his color.

[Common Sense Party]

9. And isn't it possible that most of Pres. Obama's detractors hate HIM

"because he was smart and won the Pres...and he wouldn't play ball with them"?

It very likely has nothing to do with his color, in most instances.

2. So if Hillary had gotten the nomination and then won the presidency,

you don't think the repugs/neocons would be opposing everything she did?

Or would it then be "sexism"?

[Captain Hilts]

4. The Rs seem to have a problem with Democratic presidents, don't they? nt

[Common Sense Party]

5. Indeed.

And while I don't doubt that SOME of the animus directed toward our president may be, in part at least, fueled by racism or bigotry by SOME people, I think it's laughable to think that the right wouldn't be attacking ANY Democrat who was trying to change things from the rightwing status quo.

[Captain Hilts]

6. Yes, most certainly some of the animus is based on race. As it was based on class with Bubba. nt

12. That's what I think

It's mostly about scoring political points for their buddies and obstructing any Democratic legislation.

They did it to FDR, Carter, Clinton, and now Obama.

This is probably just the same polices, same obstructionism, and the same partisan garbage from them again.

[Common Sense Party]

13. Yes, partisanship (and let's face it, we're partisan, too) and ideological

differences (and we're ideological, too) account for probably 95% of the acrimony and obstruction. Racism is a minor motivation.

[ensho]

8. it would be sexism. use your eyes.

nt

[Common Sense Party]

10. No, it wouldn't. It's ideology.

[Captain Hilts]

11. Some sexism? Yes. But it still doesn't explain R's visceral hatred for Bill Clinton /Ted Kennedy.

[Common Sense Party]

14. Is our opposition to/hatred of Sarah Palin sexism?

:shrug:

[ensho]

15. no

[Common Sense Party]

16. So let's see if I understand your position.

Repubs opposition to white male Democrats = politics as usual

Repubs opposition to black male Democrat = racism

Repubs opposition to white woman Democrat = sexism

Democratic opposition to white woman Repub = politics as usual
