If you have been paying attention the last two weeks, Maxine Waters and several members of the CBC have said the same thing...their constiuents love Obama becasuse he is black and if the CGC goes after him because of his failings, the constituents will turn against the CBC. All because of his race.I agree, some Obama supporters unfairly accuse people of being racist. However, most of us have seen the NASTY racial signs the Teabaggers bring to rallies. So why don't YOU take some "personal responsibility" and go confront your party. Suggest they act a little more civil and lay off the pictures of Obama with gigantic lips, badly spelled N-word and other references to his race, because it's making the rest of you look bad.
And please, don't bother replying with something like "they don't represent us all" or whatever - you seem to 'generalize' ALL liberals. Stop making you and your party out to be victims. I've heard PLENTY GOPers say that blacks only voted for Obama because he's black. SEVERAL. And to be fair ... yes, I'm sure there were people who voted for him because of his race... JUST as there are people who didn't vote for him because of his race. So suck it up & get over it.
I asked you a question and you didn't answer it. That tells me all I need to know.Is there something you want to discuss, or just banter about bull****? I'm beginning to get bored.
The United States is only ever "united" during national disasters and man-made disasters.Seems to me the U in USA isnt appropriate anymore.
Well good, I'm happy that you're happy.I asked you a question and you didn't answer it. That tells me all I need to know.
So what? What does that mean? Let's watch the liberal come out.The United States is only ever "united" during national disasters and man-made disasters.

So if you agree that employers are responsible for choosing who will be interviewed why would you use sarcasm to imply that it isn't?
his post only exhibited how erroneous your implication was, that in reality it is the employers who are responsible for determining who will receive an interview/opportunity for a job. that whites receive interviews at a rate exceeding their proportion of the population is evidence that racism persists, showing affirmative action remains needed to level the playing field. earlier in the thread (post 103), this statement was made:Is there something you want to discuss, or just banter about bull****? I'm beginning to get bored.
followed by this question:You do realize that most people who call the Tea Party politicians racist do so, in part, because of the policies they support.
which received this/my response:Such as?...
by now, you should be able to observe that a sound case has been made showing why the tea party is legitimately found to be racist in its practicesopposition to affirmative action policies
You don't sound like any conservative I've ever met. What kind of bull**** do they teach up there in CT?Seems to me the U in USA isnt appropriate anymore.

I never was part of South American dude. Where did you get that? :lol:Youre just insulted because U dont get to be part of the SA anymore.
It means exactly what it said. It was a pretty simple sentence genius.So what? What does that mean? Let's watch the liberal come out.

No, I don't agree with that. This nation was named during great turmoil, and they didn't think themselves any more united than we today.Well, i was born in Charleston South Carolina, spent the first 22 years of my life following my pa around the world cause he was mil spec.
So i wasnt educated here, i guess you can blame the schools in holland guam, umm, well, do you really want the list?
IMHO this place should really be called the USSA*
United Socialist States of America,
is that better?
:mrgreen:
I'm still watching you.Well, at least you arnt saying im not conservative enough,
id thought i might have to hoist my Bonnie Blue flag for you.
:mrgreen:
Isn't about time we moved past such vile, angry bull****?
Oh wait, I can't say that about the esteemed Rep. Carson, to criticize him, since I am a white male and tea partier, is racist.
Just reading that filthy dung heaps rant makes my stomach churn in disgust.
Did you know that the Tea Party is not even a bonafide party, so they have no members? Nevertheless, please submit your proof of racism. Show me where they have harmed another race.Some members of the Tea Party are incredibly racist.
Some members of the Tea Party are not racist at all.
I think in the future individuals should be called out as opposed to political groups with a wide range of opinions, like the Tea Party.
Ooo, that tough talk is so intimidating. :lol:
Here you go, Ace:
"Beginning in 2006 we interviewed a representative sample of 3,000 Americans as part of our continuing research into national political attitudes, and we returned to interview many of the same people again this summer. As a result, we can look at what people told us, long before there was a Tea Party, to predict who would become a Tea Party supporter five years later. We can also account for multiple influences simultaneously — isolating the impact of one factor while holding others constant.
Our analysis casts doubt on the Tea Party’s “origin story.” Early on, Tea Partiers were often described as nonpartisan political neophytes. Actually, the Tea Party’s supporters today were highly partisan Republicans long before the Tea Party was born, and were more likely than others to have contacted government officials. In fact, past Republican affiliation is the single strongest predictor of Tea Party support today.
What’s more, contrary to some accounts, the Tea Party is not a creature of the Great Recession. Many Americans have suffered in the last four years, but they are no more likely than anyone else to support the Tea Party. And while the public image of the Tea Party focuses on a desire to shrink government, concern over big government is hardly the only or even the most important predictor of Tea Party support among voters.
So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do.
More important, they were disproportionately social conservatives in 2006 — opposing abortion, for example — and still are today. Next to being a Republican, the strongest predictor of being a Tea Party supporter today was a desire, back in 2006, to see religion play a prominent role in politics. And Tea Partiers continue to hold these views: they seek “deeply religious” elected officials, approve of religious leaders’ engaging in politics and want religion brought into political debates. The Tea Party’s generals may say their overriding concern is a smaller government, but not their rank and file, who are more concerned about putting God in government.
This inclination among the Tea Party faithful to mix religion and politics explains their support for Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. Their appeal to Tea Partiers lies less in what they say about the budget or taxes, and more in their overt use of religious language and imagery, including Mrs. Bachmann’s lengthy prayers at campaign stops and Mr. Perry’s prayer rally in Houston.
Yet it is precisely this infusion of religion into politics that most Americans increasingly oppose. While over the last five years Americans have become slightly more conservative economically, they have swung even further in opposition to mingling religion and politics. It thus makes sense that the Tea Party ranks alongside the Christian Right in unpopularity."

And some charming vignettes:
"•Civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis was taunted by tea partiers who chanted "nigger" at least 15 times, according to the Associated Press (we are not cleaning up language and using "the N-word" here because it's really important to understand what was said.) First reported on The Hill blog (no hotbed of left-wing fervor), the stories of Lewis being called "nigger" were confirmed by Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones and Democratic Rep. Andre Carson, who was walking with Lewis. "It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis," said Carson, a former police officer. "He said it reminded him of another time."
•Another Congressional Black Caucus leader, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, was spat upon by protesters. The culprit was arrested, but Cleaver declined to press charges.
•House Majority Whip James Clybourn told reporters: "I heard people saying things today that I have not heard since March 15, 1960, when I was marching to try to get off the back of the bus."
•There were many reports that Rep. Barney Frank was called a "faggot" by protesters, but the one I saw personally was by CNN's Dana Bash, who seemed rattled by the tea party fury. Frank told AP: "It's a mob mentality that doesn't work politically."
•Meanwhile, a brick came through the window at Rep. Louise Slaughter's Niagara Falls office on Saturday (the day she argued for her "Slaughter solution" to pass health care reform, though it was rejected by other Democrats on the House Rules Committee)"
