I admit, I’m surprised: Romney campaign stirs the racial pot
I wish I didn’t have to write this, but apparently I do:
In his ambition to become president, Mitt Romney is trotting out the race card, calling upon and reinforcing old resentments and racial stereotypes to generate votes and support.
I had resisted that notion for months, despite evidence otherwise. I had given Romney a lot more credit than that, both as a person of decent instincts and as a leader. I honestly did not think that he would stoop to the likes of a Newt Gingrich, for example, with his description of Obama as “the food-stamp president” pursuing “Kenyan” values.
In addition, I think conservatives often have a valid point about the “race card” being played too quickly, based on too little evidence. I consider it a serious accusation that should only be made reluctantly, and only with sufficient proof to make it stick.
Unfortunately, the accumulating evidence against Romney has grown too powerful to deny.
Some of you perhaps came to this conclusion a while ago. Some of you no doubt reject it altogether and will continue to do so vehemently. That’s fine, because I’m only speaking for myself. And personally, the straw that broke the camel’s back came in a new interview with USA Today in which Romney charged that Obama was gutting the work requirement in welfare law in order to “shore up his base.”
Because as everyone knows, Obama’s true base can be found among those shiftless Americans too lazy to work and eager to collect welfare bucks for doing nothing, right Mitt? (And if you doubt the power of that narrative among an alarmingly large number of Americans, come back in an hour and read the comments that are sure to follow this post).
In hindsight, the claim that Obama was trying to gut the work requirement — and the prominent play that the Romney camp has given the claim — should have been enough to confirm his shameful intentions. In one ad, for example, Romney claims that “Under Obama’s plan, you wouldn’t have to work and you wouldn’t have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check.”
Every independent observer to study the claim has confirmed that it is false. Not just slightly false, totally false. Politifact calls it a pants-on-fire lie. The Washington Post gives it Four Pinocchios. FactCheck.org also concluded the charge is false.
The reality is that several state governments, including Republican administrations in Utah and Nevada, sought flexibility in how to administer the law. That’s a conservative idea, right? Give states flexibility in figuring out how best to do things? When Obama took office, just 29 percent of welfare recipients were actually working or taking job training, so the idea of trying something new seemed attractive.
As Gary Herbert, the Republican governor of Utah, wrote in a letter last month defending the waiver request, “Some of these participation requirements are difficult and costly to verify, while other participation requirements do not lead to meaningful employment outcomes and are overly prescriptive.” Utah has no intention whatsoever of weakening work requirements, Herbert wrote.
But when the administration acceded to such requests, it was immediately accused of wanting to give taxpayer money away to welfare bums.
But again, the falsity of the charge is not what gives it away. What gives it away is the Romney campaign’s insistence on taking a very minor bureaucratic change and trying to elevate it into a major issue in the campaign. There is only one possible explanation for pushing the welfare claim so hard, and for hinting that the change is being implemented to “shore up (Obama’s) base.”
And that is an appeal to racism.

Must be desperation time if Bookman is already playing the race card. A quiz is in order. Who attended sermons by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright for 20 years? Who accused the police of profiling when Louis Gates yelled foul? Who injected race into the Travyon Martin case? That’s right. The Indonesian Imbecile himself, Bampøt Hussein ØDumbø. In addition to being an incompetent low grade moron, a thug, and a crook the illegal alien illegally occupying the White House is a vile racist demagogue. Being a good little left wing lapdog, Bookman chimed in on the Martin case by saying he was only guilty of being young and black. Well here’s a crime Bookman has never heard of, being young and white

Yallz are da bestest. Ise so happy to have ya’ll white folks telling mez what to do….
Just proves my point. One Republican after another attempts to reach out to the African American community time after time and it gets them hardly any support and spit on from people like you. I think Republicans should stop trying and when they win office not hire any of them and fire all the ones left over from a Dem administration. Why should a Republican place someone into a power of position that does not at the time and will never support them?

o.k. — i’m going to say this and then go to bed.
Doom and scout and Recon and bman and whomever – If you fear the black man so much, then what you fear is retribution that you rightly deserve that’s coming back to haunt YOU.
True story – I used to be a social worker; had a lady who was my client that was abandoned by her family and was a ward of the state living in a “home”.
On her deathbed, well not actually her deathbed, but she was very sick; she told me about her past to try to absolve herself before she died. She wanted to make ammends before she met her maker. In the interest of time, I’ll cut this short to say, she was responsible for a death by claiming RAPE when the black man was really her lover.
When the mob killed that man, they also burned out his family and two of his children perished in said fire.
She had lived with that for years; she told me that ever since then she was scared that what she did was coming back on her, karma it’s called.
So all you who fear black people for no other reason than that I can see, must be fearing karma from your past.
One day, Doom et al., karma will come a calling.
BTW Doom — really brave of you, talking crap AFTER Bro left the blog; I guess, just like people of your ilk, (read that as punk azzes), they are always too scared to face someone head on; you prefer to skulk around in the shadows throwing your random insults to your equally ignorant masses for their enjoyment.

Bro and I have had these conversations before and I’ve no problem calling him out as he has no problem calling me out. Tomorrow he will read my responses and if he would like to take up the conversation with me I will be more than willing to do so.
Secondly regarding your story about the white woman whose lover was lynched I’m sorry but I just don’t believe you. There were very few lynchings in the past 50 years and in the history of this country there have only been something like 3,000 black people lynched- most of them 100 years ago or more. The idea that her lover just happened to be one of the few lynched in the past 50 years or so is rather far fetched and difficult to believe. Nice work of fiction though. You should make it into a short story.

Yep. 1 single black man. I remember it well and I remember his name James Byrd. Apparently my ignorance of lynching history is exceeded only by yours since I knew the man’s name and you didn’t. And about 20 years before that in 1981 Michael Donald was lynched in Mobile. Now if 2 men lynched in 30 something years means there’s a whole epidemic of lynching going on and whole towns are being wiped out then you would be right. But that’s not the trend now is it? Just the facts ma’am.

You wouldn’t know what to do with a put or a call and I just can’t see myself charging you for something that would do you no good while out trying to scam the elderly out of a commission on your sales of Medicare Advantage.
You see, Doom. You’re lameness is just to easy to throw backat you. Try harder.

“You ARE a punkazz Doom. I mean your true colors show on this blog every night. You’re scared of black people, you’re scared of mexicans, you’re scared of muslims…..”
See this is what happens every time you try to have an honest discussion about race with a bigot like Debbie. You bring out some uncomfortable truths about the failings of black culture- crime rates, lack of emphasis on education, 72.5% of children born to single mothers, drug abuse, etc. And when you bring out these uncomfortable truths that are largely self inflicted and which are holding back black America this uncomfortable truth gets to folks like Debbie. And rather than have an honest discussion about it they simply degenerate into emotionally charged anger and inevitably go straight to name calling, race baiting, and hate filled invective. Happens every time. Sad.

Taxpayer,
When I think of you I think of a straight forward question that Erwin’s cat asked you several days back. He asked you “Why do you hate successful people so much?”. I think that sums up everything that we need to know about you. You’re a loser. Just look at the way you attack me about my profession. You’re the only person on the whole blog who just gets mad as hell about me making money and who comes up with that schlock every time you address me. Erwin’s cat hit the nail on the head. I think its obvious that you’re a bitter, angry old man who never succeeded in life. And the result is that you lash out at people who you perceive to be more successful than yourself. That’s what this is really all about. And your repeated day after day hateful and envious attacks on successful people as EC noted proves it. I can’t even be mad at you dude. I feel too sorry for you to be mad at you.

“running and hiding behind insubstantials instead of confronting the situation head on.”
Insubstantials. Kinda like your insubstantials that I’m gay. Always just make up crap about people off the top of your head once you get thrashed in a debate. Well of course you do. Hyperbole and hateful rhetoric is all you got.

Yes. Of course Debbie. That’s why I learned to speak Spanish and lived in Central America as a foreign exchange student- cause I hate Mexicans.
Sometimes I wonder how it is that you don’t realize just how idiotic you sound or how completely lacking in rationale thought you are.

Nope. Just getting in a last few responses to the kooks but I see they’ve had enough. Time for me to hit the hey also.
bman,
Yep. It always does get ugly. Didn’t have to be that way though. But every time you get into a discussion about race Debbie flies off the emotional handle and goes into a litany of name calling, insults, and worst of all the race card.

Slavery has been around for centuries and there millions of stories.
I tried to tell you cons that one day you cons will be the minority but you don’t care because it is on your kids and their kids and not you..
Long term thinking is something you cons never do.
The me generation left your kids a worse future than you.

Speaking of Sly and bad choices.
This guy got a phone call in 1969 from the Rolling Stones. He had released an album a year earlier that was a success and they wanted him to join the Rolling Stones as a guitar player after the death of Brian Jones.
Shuggi said thanks but, no thanks.
His later works have never seen the light of day. The Stones get paid $100,000,000 a tour.
Shuggi was spotted a couple of years ago going into Sly Stones apt, but no one has heard a word since. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDrVSiahGqw

You’re Surprised? If they made a movie about today’s Republican party they’d call it Grumpy Old White People. Republicans, as a segment of the population , are decidedly older and whiter. 89% of self identified Republicans are white. Who makes up the remaining 11%? I don’t know. I’d Guess Herman Cain and the Cubans.
As a new class of super wealthy Americans has emerged, and the middle class has contracted, the GOP has more or less convinced It’s base that all their problems have been caused by poor people of color. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Mitt boldly defends the poor down trodden, defense contractors, oil companies and the international banks he keeps his money in. Gee where have we heard this before?

Funny but Obama is a racist but libs like Jay give him a free pass. From Obozo’s own words/books:
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race”
etc.
etc.

Yet, the top wealthy Americans are libs. Nice job on confusing fantasy with reality.

Can hardly wait. My kids will be able to be employed via Affirmative Action without much of a skill set, be promoted over those more qualified and will be able to play the race card as many times as Vic Hill has alleged felon charges.
