      There is simply nothing the "right" will not conflate into a racial issue and blame on Obama.

      Gee.....I never heard of kids mixing it up on a school bus or in the schoolyard of sporting event, etc.........../sarcasm

        The utter lunacy that they've latched onto serves to proove that Barack Obama is the 3rd Greatest president we've ever had. (Lincoln, Washington, Obama)

        How do I reach this conclusion?

        Simple - NO ONE HAS CRITICIZES ANYTHING OF ANY SUSTANCE SO FAR!

        Death panels, birth cirtificates, communism, etc...

        If there was anything LEGITIMATE for them to criticize, you'd think they would have done so by now, consider all the nonsense they've TRIED to make stick!

        Wilson, Madison... even the ROOSEVELTS (both of 'em!) had their critics! Jefferson, Reagan, Ike... ALL had detracors that debated them dfiercy on LEGITIMATE ISSUES. If the best Obama's opposition can come up with is THIS nonsense...

        .. Well, then he must be one of the truly greatest Presidents we've ever had, no?

          Excellent point. They keep insisting that they have "legitimate concerns", but all we hear coming out of their cake holes is fabricated bullsh*t.

            This is what I keep hearing form my educated non-ignorant conservative friends, and yet, they keep coming at me with the same talking points. Socialism. Communism. Obama is a racist. Sotomayor is a racist. Death panels. And so on.

            I did hear from some folks though, small minority of folks, who are concerned about what the health care proposal is going to cost, and how are we going to pay for it. There, that isn't hard is it? That's a legit question, one that the President has answered about, 600,000 times in the recent past.

            I've been wondering about this: How can you forget the name of a university that is so essential to proving your main point. Especially since most universities in the U.S. are named after states, cities, or historical people. Wouldn't you also have the report at hand and/or highlight it on your website?

            I have a good friend--a friend whose name I don't remember--who said that Glen Beck is full of sh!#.

              Glenn remembered the day before when he spoke with Greta. He mentioned that it was the University of Illinois.

              But he conveniently could not remember the next day.

              Considering the UoI administration hasn't spoken on this, my guess is he conveniently "forgot".

      I can't wait for the sh!t to hit the fan over President Carter's statement that much of the resistance to President Obama is fueld by racism. I caught a bit of the Today show before I left for work and Matt Lauer was acting like it was a new and controversial idea.

        And Jimmy Carter is too much of a diplomat to look at Lauer and ask:
        "Just what reality do you live in Matt?"

          Carter wasn't there. They had a couple of other guys commenting on the statement by the former Prez.

            Opps, misread the post.
            My bad? Even though I think my point is still valid.

        Matt Lauer was acting like it was a new and controversial idea.

        The MSM is always the last to know what's really going on in the real world. These racist teabaggers have been parading their racism around since Obama was nominated. It took a racist congressman to yell at the black president in the hallowed halls of congress to get the MSM to get wise to these racist nutjobs.

        I guess Lauer has an excuse because he has to do so many fluff pieces to entertain the housewives plus a lot of the time people are wondering "Where's Matt?". Maybe Matt should ask Al what he thinks about "Monkey See-Monkey Spend".

      Funny that rush, the man who puts the "fat" in "fatuous", doesn't realize that he's at least intimating that it should be the other way 'round; namely the black kids should get beat up with the white kids cheering.

      Welcome back Jon Stewart! It is very terrible that one fight in the U.S. is viewed as a cheering celebration just because Obama is president, and black children should beat up white children. Well in that case why not talk about all the black people who were beaten when Obama was comnfirmed as POTUS? Of course the right-wing will not discuss that though. SHAME!
