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.

When I see a politician caught in a lie, I generally wait to see what happens after it becomes common knowledge that it’s a lie. It is Romney’s repeated use of this lie – an egregiou, out and out LIE, that makes me reject anything he says. And everything he says.. There is no way, after all this time, that he doesn’t know it’s a lie…but he repeats it and repeats it and repeats it.
I therefore consider that everything he says is a lie.

A lot of people have the “gut feeling” (see: Truthiness) that Obama wants to give away government money to people who don’t work. Many of these same people believe Obama wants to take away their guns. Facts don’t seem to matter to the people who think like this. I assume that a lot of talk radio shows reinforce these feelings. In fact, many of these people believe that Obama’s mother sent in a fake birth announcement to a Honolulu paper 50 years ago because she wanted to make sure that her half Kenyan son born in out of the USA, who she’d just given the most foreign sounding name possible, could run for president some day. If they can believe something that far fetched, then I don’t want to be the one to break the news about Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny to them.

You obviously must not be present anytime the topic of welfare comes up. Anytime someone mentions that more Whites are on welfare than Blacks, the “percentages to population” argument rears it’s ugly head. Just own up to the fact that some on the right automatically associate welfare with Blacks. Santorum has done it, Gingrich has done it, and now Romney’s flirting around with the edges of it.
Romney may not be deliberately playing the race card here, but those who answer to the dog whistle can clearly hear the notes being played in that song.

If you look at some of the things that qualified as “work” before welfare reform signed into law by Bill Clinton, then allowing those things again IS gutting welfare reform… for all races.

You may be reading it a bit too narrowly? “His base” could apply to the more liberal, activist wing. I did a look on Google under “liberals opposed to welfare work requirements’ and found examples from Clinton’s 1996 welfare reform to stricter work proposals under Bush.
As an example, “Now the Bush administration wants even tougher work requirements. Once again, most liberal Democrats think it is a mistake to worry about making every last single mother work when we have not yet ensured that those who already work can provide for their children” from The American Prospect at
http://prospect.org/article/liberal-lessons-welfare-reform
I can see broad lines of “more work” and “less work” as a general principle split among Democrats and Republicans. Given the history of tension along those lines, I don’t think it necessary to narrow it down further to the racial angle.
But having said all that, we all know what stereotypes come to mind when we hear phrases such as “young moms with lots of kids on welfare” and “welfare as a lifestyle passed from generation to generation.”
So I could be persuaded with more evidence. But I’m not yet ready to make that connection.

You are playing that little ethnic card there. You can play your games and giggle about it, but the fact is your side is playing that card.”

Jay I agree wholeheartedly with you. When a candidate moves away from the truth and facts and plays strictly on emotions and fear, the underlying reason/tactic becomes clear. Someone in Alabama actually painted the back window of their car with this: “If it ain’t White is ain’t Right. Nobama”
The NYT also has a piece on race in this election today, referencing some of the data you cite in your solid arguments here. http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/27/making-the-election-about-race/?nl=opinion&emc=edit_ty_20120827

The sad thing is we really do have clear cases of racism in this nation from time to time and because the Democratic party has used it for nothing more then political gain the real charges are getting ignored as well.

Not saying that people on welfare are his base but am saying that this will result with more people added to the rolls – voting people. Romney’s was not a racist statement but a fact. Obama is throwing candy to a particular part of his base. The one’s that fought and criticized the Republicans and Clinton for making seeking work a requirement to receive welfare are among Obama’s base – most of them vote democrat.

The work requirements thing is based on him giving Sebelius the power of waivers. She’ll give out waivers for work requirements left and right. He’s watered down the work requirement in effect, if not codified into law. It’s like immigration, he didn’t change the law, he just told people not to enforce it.

I know a much higher percentage of African Americans are on welfare than whites, but the stereotype I think of is someone who has made bad decisions (drugs, high school dropout, children outside of marriage). But even that is incorrect much of the time. In many cases it is someone who has lost their job or had a serious medical problem. I’ll admit my mind doesn’t automatically doesn’t go there, but it doesn’t go to black people either. I guess if you don’t believe me, I’m not only a racist but a liar.

That’s rich. The Obama Campaign has largely been focused on targeting people by race, ethnicity and gender based on stereotyping each group. In addition, the Obama Campaign and its support groups have already spent a few hundred million dollars running ads implying that Romney is a tax cheat, a felon and just about the most nasty person imaginable. No sitting president in modern times has come anywhere close to running such a negative campaign focosed on assasinating the character of its opponent. I believe Jay Bookman, a while back, praised the Obama Campaign for deploying such a “shrewd” strategy.

Lord Help: Liberals like Ezra Klein, like Jay, are almost invariably caught by surprise and mystified by these tactics, because they violate the norms of gentlemanly good faith that they like to imagine are the true rules of the political game that are played by.
The “puzzlingly anachronistic” thing about this line of attack is the fact that it’s pure fiction, fabrication. Since Clinton’s capitulation to the right wing in the 90s and his virtual dismantling of welfare, it’s been absurd to speak of Democrats as a party of big welfare state wealth transfers to the indolent. By attacking welfare, Clinton basically did away with it and codified as bipartisan hostility to the New Deal welfare state, just as Barack Obama has done with the War on Terror security state.
But come election time, this poses a little problem for predatory sociopaths like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. That’s why they have to redirect the attention of today’s voters away from current reality back 25 years to a different world, back to a time when the “tax and spend liberal” was an actual creature and a target.
Our two parties are both so close — or were before the GOP went completely mad — that with each election these sociopaths have to invent ever more contorted schemes for distorting reality to make it fit some stereotype of 25 yrs ago.

Again, stick to the facts folks. Obama’s people didn’t say Romney was a felon. Romney was trying to distance himself from some of the tricks his old company Bain had done and said he’d left it in 1999. Unfortunatley for him, the papers he signed and filed with the SEC (that’s Securities and Exchange Commission, not Southeastern Conference) said he ran the company until 2002. So, Obama’s people said he was EITHER a felon, because filing false papers is a felony, or a LIAR. See, they didn’t insist he was a felon. They left an opening.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and most of the talking heads on MSNBC have made a living playing the race card. The race card has been how they define their worldview. It is almost as if they can’t acknowledge that we have made progress and actually have an African-American President, female Supreme Court justices, and minority leaders in both Government and private sector positions. I would argue that your blog today panders to stereotypes of bigoted GOP members in the same way you imply Romney is doing to the Democratic base. Frankly, you want to talk about race because it avoids how poorly the country is doing as a whole. Regardless of your ethnicity, gender, or sexual preference, if you eat food, use electricity, pay taxes, or are looking for a job, you are being negatively affected by Obama administration policies.

On another note:
I may be wrong and if so will retract this but based on my observations of our flag at government installations over the past few days, the first man in the history of the world to walk on the moon did not rate the United States flag at half-staff after his passing. Not even for a few hours. I guess it just wasn’t politically correct.
By the way, a couple of things you may not know:
1) Astronaut Gus Grissom, had he not bee killed in a training accident, was to have been the first man on the moon.
2) The following statement was to have been read by the president had Armstrong and Aldrin been stranded there (which was a distinct possibility):
“Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.”

She said Aguigui used the money to buy $87,000 worth of semiautomatic assault rifles, other guns and bomb components that were recovered from the accused soldiers’ homes and from a storage locker. He also used the insurance payments to buy land for his militia group in Washington state, Pauley said.

For any of you who think this is not racism, let me give a real fact about racism in my family (of which I am deeply ashamed but it doesn’t change the facts of it!). My brother spouted that non-sense to me and I asked him who this change was targeted at. It wasn’t poor whites on welfare, it was those sorry, good for nothing n…..gers and filthy Mexicans that he (Obama) wanted to pay off to keep them voting for him. (please keep in mind that these were his words and NOT mine). When I explained that Mitt’s statement had been proven to be a lie by many sources and that it did not reduce the work requirement, he just told me that I didn’t know what I was talking about and all these ‘liberal media’ folks just ignore the truth. I told him that was racist and he said yes he was and proud of it. He tends to forget where he came from. I could only tell him that I love him but at the same time am very ashamed of his attitude. The really said thing is that there are so many people out there just like him. Georgia is full of them!
So for you people who say it doesn’t matter, I will tell you that you can be entitled to your opinion but you are never entitled to make up your own facts. Neither is Romney or any of his billionaires.

Bookman you could have blogged about someting important like….
The three networks have, thus far, ignored the revelation that American taxpayers will only recover a mere $24 million of the $527 million lost on Solyndra, a new report by the Dow Jones newswire revealed last week.
The evening newscasts and morning shows have skipped the announcement.
The Washington Examiner explained on Thursday, “In a little-noticed move, Solyndra LLC officially released it bankruptcy plan this week. The official word from it is that taxpayers will recover only $24 million of the about $527 million.”
The only utterance of Solyndra last week came when Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus brought it up on Sunday’s This Week.
Talking to an unhappy-looking George Stephanopoulos, the RNC chairman zinged, “The entire philosophy of…Barack Obama can be summarized in one word and that’s Solyndra. That’s Barack Obama’s philosophy.”
The Examiner piece quoted the Dow newswire as pointing out that “documents filed Friday evening in a Delaware bankruptcy court say private equity firms, including one whose chief has ties to the Obama administration, will get back at least half of the $70 million they put into Solyndra early last year as the company battled for survival.”
As the Examiner’s Sean Higgins reminded, “US taxpayers, on the other hand, won’t be so lucky.”
U.S. taxpayers will lose 95.5 percent of their investment, but Obama-connected investigators will get back “at least half.” Imagine how the media would react if the situation was reversed and this were true of a Republican president and his or her wealthy donors.

Is Obama racist for not getting rid of the work requirement since Romney accusing Obama of getting rid of it is racism?

Why don’t you run for president then? That way, you can be the one to make those decisions. It could be that Obama might be granting the wishes of a man who has pretty much led his life in private despite his national status. Who knows? I’ll leave that decision to Obama and the Armstrong’s. I’m more than certain that they have communicated with each other.

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Ni**er, ni**er, ni**er.” By 1968 you can’t say “ni**er” — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Ni**er, ni**er.”

Jay , this double standard has always existed in our country. My father is 75 years old and retired from the Army after 30 years of service. He says anytime things get hard the average white guy has to try and find someone to blame for his troubles.We all can agree the average GOP white guy is not blessed with a lot of intellectual horsepower.This shrinking voting block will always pick up the bait and run with it.Welfare, no welfare , job , no job people will always do what they feel they have to to eat.

Chris was P.O.d about the whole “foreignization” of Obama from the GOP. He brought up the “no one ever asked to see my birth certificate” joke, the claims by the right that he is un-American, that he has no legitimate claim to the presidency, etc. It was quite the exchange of vitriol.

Being on welfare doesn’t necessarily mean you are lazy and don’t want to work. It could actually mean that you have had bad luck in your life, drug addicted parents or an illness not caused by bad habits such as drugs, smoking, lack of exercise or eating bad food. I volunteer at a food bank and a whole lot of people have lost their life long jobs due to this depressing economy. Don’t label everyone on welfare as lazy or sorry because some are seeking work and want to work.

“The only one playing the race card is YOU.”
Actually, I suspect that Republican strategists have a two-pronged approach. First, they implement the Southern Strategy (bitherism, “free stuff”, welfare). Second, they simultaneously bait their opponents into accusing them of racism, so that they can play the victims: “Who? Us? You’re the one playing the race card.”
As far as Republican strategists are concerned, being accused of “playing the race card” is a bonus. It plays well for them. This comments section provides overwhelming evidence.

Hows about the ole Howard Stern experiment on the streets of Harlem? He takes McCain’s positions such as on abortion, the Iraq war, etc. and attributes them to Obama in his man on the street interviews. And then the respondents state that it because of these positions that they will vote for Obama. It pretty much drove the point home. And in a humorous way also I might add. So I guess Howard Stern is a right wing racist also huh?

President Obama and his campagin have “not” done the same thing? What about telling Americans that Romney has committed a felony? I could go on and on and on with ridiculous things Obama’s campaign has done. But what is the point? The point to all of this is that BOTH SIDES lie…
OBAMA has come out of the closet and suggested something RACIAL about Romney? Please cite link.
Inaccurate claim – OK. Trying to paint a false picture of who Obama’s base is – OK. Racism – I don’t think so. You haven’t made the connection, unless you think that everyone on the right thinks that everyone on welfare is black
They do.
Not surprised the left equate a comment about poor and welfare as “racist.” Aren’t they the ones who Biden said we wanted to put the chains on
You, I imagine, are a part of the “Republican Delusional Brigade”; who refused to see anything wrong with anything a republican does. I feel very sorry for you.
True story- The security guard at my inlaw’s country club has quit after several years (decades) of service. Why? According to her, she can make more on welfare than working
Oh please! After working 70 years, she wasn’t quitting, she was RETIRING!! Duh! And that “welfare” she was going to get? Well, it’s really her SSI or Pension that she EARNED!

If there is any racism in this, it is put forth by you Jay. You are equating people on welfare to people of color. It is not a race issue at all, in fact I think it is perfectly clear that citizens receiving welfare are far more likely to be liberal and a part of Obama’s base rather than Romney’s simply because of policy choices, not race.

Your comment…”Obama’s true base can be found among those shiftless Americans too lazy to work and eager to collect welfare bucks for doing nothing” says loads about your own perspective. You are clearly implying that welfare recipients, the shiftless and lazy, belong to a particular race, which is not true and, therefore, a blatantly racist comment on your part.

Race baiting is something the GOP has gotten very good at, ever since they saw how effective it was with Willie Horton. The message then, and is now, is quite simple: white people work hard but “other people” (read into what you want) don’t work, but worse, they take from those hard workers in the form of handouts.
I haven’t seen all of Romney’s welfare ads, but the last one I did see had only the back of one black person’s head. Everybody else was white, and they were all working like the good citizens they are. That’s the racial undercurrent of these ads. It’s not meant to be obvious, so I’ll forgive those of you too dense to pick up on it. Once Romney has established who the “worker” group is (i.e., whites) and who the “other” group is (i.e., non-whites) through suggestion, he can refer to this division without invoking racist terms.
That’s exactly what he did in the interview. He then took it one step further and ascribed the “others” (remember, the people who take handouts and don’t work) as the President’s base.
The earlier post that mentioned this is more about “takers” or “those who have and those who don’t” is on target. Jay is also right, they are very much linked (and Romney thinks so too, since his ad linked them). The problem is, vast swaths of the United States perceive the “takers” to be minorities and Romney’s lying advertisement reinforces those beliefs. Even if you have an accurate view of welfare recipients, the “takers” argument still applies. By running this patently false advertisements (By the way, where is the outrage for lying to the American people? The race topic is important, but a candidate for the Presidency is LYING to us and still wants us to elect him?…but I digress), Romney is creating a dividing line between the “workers” and the “takers.” Make no mistake about it, his supporters view themselves firmly in the “workers” group.
The right’s media machine is amazingly effective. They understand nuance, the power of suggestion, and the barely-there racism that permeates within the “workers.” Then when they get called out on it, they get to call their detractors racist. Beautiful. It’s too bad that the right’s supporters can’t see how easily they’re being manipulated.

Well Jay, please allow me to post another “sad” rebuttal. Data from The Heritage Foundation.
Most states average around 40,000 welfare cases per month of which around 600 exit from welfare – what is called employment exits.
Under the new Obama rule, which by the way he has no authority to put in place, such a state would only have to increase the employment exits by 120 to automatically qualify the other 39,000 cases for welfare without them seeking employment.
As the economy improves, the employment exits will increase to a percentage where all applicants will qualify without seeking work. We will be right back to the place that Clinton and Congress specifically wrote a law to avoid.
It does not matter that some Republican Governors asked for a modification. The point is, the law was written to specifically avoid what Obama has done. He’s buying votes. It has nothing to do with race.
You can spin it anyway you wish. He’s wrong and so are you.

Among the poorest of the poor–single mothers, living below the poverty line with minor children to support 39.7 percent of AFDC clients are Black single mothers and 38.1 percent are White women with children. Food stamp recipients are 37.2 percent Black and 46.2 percent White. Medicaid benefits are paid to 27.5 percent Black recipients compared to 48.5 percent White clients.
Although the numbers show that Whites get the biggest chunk of public aid dollars, welfare critics still charge that Blacks shouldn’t collect 33 percent of welfare benefits when they only make up 12 percent of the general population.

If Jay was as wrong as the righties claim, they would have amassed an eon worth of proof. Yet, they barely even attempt a serious refuatation of his essays.

“While 58% of TANF recipients claim to have high school diplomas or equivalencies, the remaining 42% report not completing high school. The National Institute for Literacy reports that the average welfare recipient reads on a sixth grade level. (NIL) Additionally, sampled assessments of the population do not support skill equivalencies to self-reported grade levels.”
“In an Urban Institute study of basic skills, almost two-thirds of welfare recipients tested on the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) – a measure with strong indicators to future employment and earnings – scored in the bottom quartile (lowest 25%) of the AFQT distribution. Low skills correlate to low-wage jobs, and therefore to a continued need for income supports. The report notes that women with low skills make the transition to steady employment very slowly, experiencing long periods of unemployment between short periods of low paying, unstable jobs.

“Low skills are the most common barrier to employment reported by welfare recipients. In Personal and Family Challenges to the Successful Transition from Welfare to Work, 90% of welfare recipients analyzed from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth experience barriers that limited their employment. Barriers noted in the report, in rank order, were:
low basic skills,
substance abuse,
a health limitation,
depression, and
a child with chronic medical condition or disability.”

TAMPA, Fla. — House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday backed Mitt Romney’s false charge that President Barack Obama has ended welfare work requirements. He said that the proximity of the policy to the election raised questions as to whether Obama was trying to shore up his base in advance of the election, a charge recently made by Romney and shot through with racial overtones.
The Romney campaign, in interviews and television ads, has been repeatedly and falsely accusing President Obama of ending welfare’s work requirement. In an interview with USA Today published Monday, Romney ramped up the charge.
“There’s no question in my mind that the president’s action was calculated to … shore up his base,” Romney said, in what appears an obvious reference to an old racial stereotype, that welfare is a program for African Americans…
In fact, Romney was one of 29 Republican governors who signed a letter to HHS in 2005 asking Congress for similar waivers to the work requirement.

On the other hand, and I apologize here for not having the link, are you aware that these two states are leaders in the number of offices held by blacks in predominantly white electoral districts? The prime example of what you term ” race has been decoupled from political identity” would be, of all places, Philadelphia, Mississippi (you know, “burning”) a predominantly white town which elected a black mayor…

Obama gives one-on-one to Glamour
From you linkee
Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive flew to Portland, Ore., last month to sit down with the president for an interview that will appear in the magazine’s November issue. It is not the first time Obama has sat down with Glamour — he did so in 2008, along with John McCain — but it is his first time as a sitting president. …
Glamour pitched them on a big audience, said Washington editor Linda Kramer Jenning. “There’s a lot of attention being paid to young, women voters,” Jenning said. “That’s the calling card that opens the door.” It took five months to lock down some face time.
Jenning said Leive asked the president about women’s health care, among other topics, even though the interview took place before the recent uproar over the antediluvian comments about rape by Missouri Rep. Todd Akin.
A politician sitting down with the editor of a primarily women’s magazine is pretty smart politics seeing as how at least half of our population is women — and John McCain agreed as well.

Racial attitudes are a crucial predictor of whites’ views on welfare. Romney’s line of attack plays well with those who have a negative view of African Americans, Brown University political scientist Michael Tesler found when he analyzed data of those who saw Romney’s ad. He found that it primed views on “racial resentment” but not other attitudes such as “party or ideological self-identification.”

Boehner, meanwhile, said that the Republican party needs to reach out to minority voters in order to broaden support. He said that the recession has given Republicans an opening.
“We’ve never done well with those groups, but think about who this economic downturn has affected the most: Blacks, hispanics, young people,” he said. “If we’re going to be a national party, we need to reach out, showing up in their neighborhoods. It’s a tall order, but it can be done.”

Really?
Has anybody come on board and said the Romney camp assertion about Obama ending the welfare work requirement is false?
Or has anybody said that’s what Obama did and offered substantiation?
Has anybody refuted “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.”

“Culture makes all the difference,” along with “the hand of providence.” Saeb Erekat, a senior adviser to President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, said Romney is being “racist” and uninformed by ignoring the widely recognized impact of Israel’s prolonged economic restrictions on Gaza and the West Bank. Still, his remarks were welcomed by the Jewish-American donors — notably casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson — who collectively gave Romney more than $1 million at the event, and as Dan Amira notes at New York, “American voters don’t have an overly fond opinion of Palestinians.” Could infuriating Palestinians actually help Romney win in November?

well josef, I must say, that’s the one response I’ve read that, even though it uses the ‘look at what the other side does’ argument, it does it in a way that does make a pretty fine case.
As I said earlier, I do not think his point is that Romney holds those views but he is willing to exploit the prejudices of those who do to win.

Geez, this column was written months ago and there was never any question about whether or not it was going to be written. Just a matter of Jay finding something he might be able to attach his “he a racist” label to. I’m sure his “he wants to starve granny and push her down the stairs” post is somewhere in the schedule too.

I found out later from a friend in the area that the house had recently been rebuilt with insulation that was guaranteed to be fire proof. It wasn’t, and the farmer won a multi-million dollar settlement from the manufacturer.
But I think the worst such wreck I’ve ever heard of, and hope to NEVER witness, was when an 18-wheeler hauling honey bees overturned and the netting over the bees tore loose. You couldn’t pay me enough money to go into THAT!

When can we stop all this finger pointing. Double standards abound. The libs sit on their collective hands and all of you acted as if Biden said nothing when he told a majority black crowd they would be put back into chains. Oh sorry my bad Biden was talking about the economy I forgot.
Tell you what libs, one day you are gonna regret all your race baiting. The demographics of this country will soon, if not already, mean that whites are a minority. When that happens you are gonna have to end your excuses as to why the party which claims to have all the answers, for all minorities, really has nothing. Then you will have to actually come up with a policy that works.
To this day you have gotten away with yelling the per verbal race card. Soon you will have to deal with the facts. You will be the party that has overseen the largest increase in social aid in our history. One day blacks and Hispanics will wake up and see that despite 60 years of dedication to your party you have done absolutely nothing for them, and I mean NOTHING.
In general blacks are conservative, church going, God fearing folks. They are generally against gay marriage, civil unions, abortions and hand outs.
The only thing you have holding them to you is family tradition and the card. That will change.
But good luck you do so at your on demise. Who you gonna blame in 2040 ?

He has kept us safe, got bin laden, not involved us in any NEW wars. Cut taxes on middle class americans, passed health care that probably will benefit either you or someone in your family.

Mama: The only thing you have holding them to you is family tradition and the card. That will change
Tradition huh? You obviously don’t know your American History. Blacks predominantly voted Republican since reconstruction until the 60’s — the reason for the change? When MLK went to jail in Selma and not one Republican would stand up for his being unduly targeted and arrested. The only person/people who did were Demorats — The Kennedys. RBJ ordered the Selma authorities to release him or faith the wrath of the federal government. Not one Republican stood up for MLK — every black person saw and understood what that meant. Democrats had been trying to reach out to blacks for years but were rebuffed, When the Kennedys stood up to the Selma police force, blacks, then understood who were their real friends and who were their real enemies.

I don’t have to use words from anyone else Fred. The president has claimed many times that the wealthy do not pay “their fair share” and he wants to spread the wealth, These have been his words. When you take from those who earn the most and give to those who on the lesser income scale, that is socialism. When you try to devide and create class warfare that is socialism.
The truth is this, the top 5% of income earners pay 40% of all the taxes, and 50% of income earners pay no income taxes once they get their refunds. That is socialism. Obama lives in this world.. And the only reason Obama has not been able to inact more of his socialist agenda is the country stopped him in 2010 with the republican take over of the house in historic numbers. As far as Bush and two unfunded wars and unfunded drug program, One of the wars had to be waged, the other one maybe not. only time will tell. The drug program for medicare, the seniors pay for that coverage. Don’t take 750 billion out of medicare like Obama plans to do to fund Obama care and it would be fine. Most of the debt accrued under Bush happend after 2008. When your side got control of the house and senate and made Pelosi and Reed their leaders. They crashed the economy.. Last but not least about Bush, He warned the country in 2003 that Fanny Mae and Freddy Mack was going to create a bubble and Barney made it in to a “racist issue” .. Look were that got us.

Aren’t you tired of the democrats telling you when to be offended ?
By the way, if you actually spoke to a real live black person you would know that they weren’t enslaved 60 years ago. You would also know that since the 60’s they have voted democratic as if it were a religion. Why because it was democrats who sent in the troops to enforce civil rights on the southern conservative democrat. The exact same democrat that your party now says has turned into card carrying racist white republicans.
To deny that the democrats have not been tied to black voters is to deny the sun comes up.
Go ahead, ask them Debbie. Ask. Them why they don’t dare vote republican. They will be kicked out of the family if they do.
As for blacks being offended by Biden, well if you can show me more than 2 who were put on TV and asked you would have your answer.
Then again I am sure you would blindly devoid yourself of reality.
It’s really sad, you yell at me for telling you when to be offended while you can’t even recognize you are in the middle of a heard, being rounded up by the dems, only to get your vote.

“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.”
So racism is the ONLY possible way to explain this? Seriously? OK, let’s go with that and then ask some other questions. Aren’t white Americans supposed to be the greater number of welfare recipients? If that’s the case, then Romney is only guilty of what he has been guilty of all along, classic elitism.
For Romney Obama’s “Base” would be anyone directly or indirectly collecting from the government. So if Romney and Ryan are telling the poorest of America they want to gut their programs, the programs Obama is altering to make them MORE dependent (but that’s another story), doesn’t it make sense that Obama is playing to the poor demographic.
Race isn’t a factor here.
But it makes for a great story and lots of inflamed comments that are steeped in bigotry and hostility. Jay, all you are is someone who likes to pour gasoline on a fire. This time you’re pouring it BEFORE the fire even started. YOU sir are the arsonist here, not Romney.

Now, we’ve got a problem here in America that we have to address. Too many American families, too many minorities do not own a home. There is a home ownership gap in America. The difference between Anglo America and African American and Hispanic home ownership is too big. (Applause.) And we’ve got to focus the attention on this nation to address this.
And it starts with setting a goal. And so by the year 2010, we must increase minority home owners by at least 5.5 million. In order to close the homeownership gap, we’ve got to set a big goal for America, and focus our attention and resources on that goal. (Applause.)
[...]
And let me talk about some of the progress which we have made to date, as an example for others to follow. First of all, government sponsored corporations that help create our mortgage system — I introduced two of the leaders here today — they call those people Fannie May and Freddie Mac, as well as the federal home loan banks, will increase their commitment to minority markets by more than $440 billion. (Applause.) I want to thank Leland and Franklin for that commitment. It’s a commitment that conforms to their charters, as well, and also conforms to their hearts.

Why can’t liberals answer one question, How high should the tax rate be? How much is enough to balance the budget? Even if you tax the every wage earner over $250,000 in this country at 100% tax rate that is not a drop in the bucket to balance the budget. And the people that scream rich not paying their fair share, they know this. But they can’t move their socialist agenda by admitting it.
So, with that said, Fred, or Mick, explain why the left’s ideas are better and will move the nation to a balanced budget and reduction in debt? And explain why Obama claimed that Bush was un-patriotic but having 4 trillion on 8 years, but his 5 trillion in 3 years is ok?

That’s not all. There is always the ideology. Black Americans are just as you described them. However, when it comes to politics, Black Americans will most always go with a liberal or moderate politician.
Historically, Liberal ideology has been the catalyst to bring positive changes to the lives of Black Americans whereas Conservatism has not been that influential in a positive manner. As long as the current crop of Conservative Americans continue to belittle Black America, they won’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of getting any sizable following of Black Americans.
In order to know the direction of the future, you have to understand the path of the past. Very few Conservative Americans have ever gone the way of acknowledging the past of Conservatie America and done anything to try to change it’s trajectory.

And that question has been answered to death around here
You know what hasn’t been answered, even though I’ve posted it a few times?
Just how much jail time someone should get for “murdering” her embryo.
It seems strange, given how so many conservatives seem to think terminating a pregnancy in the first trimester is “murder,” and yet they get all coy and shy when it comes to determining just what sort of criminal penalties should apply to the “murderer.”
It’s… almost like they’d rather just spout platitudes about the “sanctity of life” without bothering to say how they’d enforce this vision, or somethin’.

If you haven’t seen/read/heard about the Lily White Movement, then you should give that a read.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily-White_Movement
The Lily-White Movement was an anti-civil-rights movement within the Republican Party in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement was a response to the political and socioeconomic gains made by African-Americans following the Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which eliminated slavery. Black leaders gained increasing influence in the party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc. Conservative white groups attempted to eliminate this influence and recover white voters who had defected to the Democratic Party…
This movement is largely credited with driving blacks out of the Republican party during the early 20th century, setting the stage for their eventual support of the Democrats.
I can imagine that movement isn’t addressed by very many in Conservative circles. You never hear it mentioned in history books even though there were several presidents who were linked to that movement.

I don’t have to use words from anyone else Fred. The president has claimed many times that the wealthy do not pay “their fair share” and he wants to spread the wealth, These have been his words. When you take from those who earn the most and give to those who on the lesser income scale, that is socialism.
They are true words. The super rich pay a lower percentage of income tax than most of the middle class. Hell, I paid 9% taxes last year. Mitt Romney paid 13%. The poor and middle class tax rate is as follows:
10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,700
15% on taxable income over $8,700 to $35,350
25% on taxable income over $35,350 to $85,650
28% on taxable income over $85,650 to $178,650
So how is getting the super rich to fair at LEAST an equal share “socialist.”
how is using the tax money from rich people for social programs any different than using the tax money from lower and middle class people? how is it socialism?
When you try to devide and create class warfare that is socialism.
the Republicans are ALWAYS using class warfare to divide the population. Folks like you however tote the mail for the super rich. It’s funny. And don’t even try to tell me you make over 300 grand a year. You aren’t literate enough. You are at MOST at $85,000. I’ll bet YOU paid your full 25-28% on your TAXABLE INCOME. Oh wait, taxable income how does that factor in let’s see use that for your next little statement.
The truth is this, the top 5% of income earners pay 40% of all the taxes, and 50% of income earners pay no income taxes once they get their refunds.
There is a big fat lie to start out with. The talk radio hoax you were looking for was the top 5% pay over 40% of INCOME taxes. Well duh? Let’s take you at your 85 grand (I think I’m giving you too much butI can be generous) and your 25% tax rate. Let’s pretend for THIS example you don’t have deductions and your TAXABLE income is really 85,000. You just paid $21250 in income tax (this does not include payroll taxes). Now let’s take Peyton Manning, he signed a deal that will give him 19 MILLION dollars this year. Let’s say he uses my accountant and he pays 9% in taxes, hell, let’s bump him to 10%, it’s easier to figure
that means he pays 1.8 million in taxes. He paid 9% and YOU paid 25%. Combined, you two paid 1,821,250 in taxes. But wait, how UNFAIR Peyton Manning paid 98% of the taxes. But wait, HE paid 10% and YOU paid 25. Go figure.
Are you still with me or has your brain exploded yet, I know it’s not what Neal says…….. oh wait, it’s EXACTLY what Neal tells you, but it’s told IN CONTEXT.
Now let’s go further. You make on paper $85,000 but you don’t really bring home that much. You bring home a lot less. You also get a lot of deductions. So your taxable income is much less than your paper salary. But thta is ok for you if YOU get those breaks, but God forbid someone else of lower income who also gets the same deductions. THAT’S NOT FAIR. So in your mind it’s ok if someone much richer than you pays less less than have as much tax percentage wise as you do, but it’s NOT ok for someone poorer than you to get the same tax breaks that you get.
WHo’s engaging in class warfare again?
Are you still with me? Do you want me to poke holes in the rest of the argument or do you want to try to defend the falsehood of these arguments?
I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you never sat down to figure this stuff out. I don’t think you knew all this and are deliberately lying about it. I also think your head is exploding as you try to wrap your mind around this, but it’s such a simple concept. It’s simple math. Right there in black and white.
Look how you are being hoodwinked and are playing right along with it.

TAMPA, FL—According to numerous sociologists and political experts, things that should never under any circumstance be spoken aloud in modern society will be said no fewer than 1,400 times this week at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL.
Throughout the three-day event, as the GOP unveils its 2012 platform and formally nominates its presidential ticket, experts predict words and phrases pertaining to science, health, and justice that are entirely unbefitting 21st-century human civilization will, on average, be voiced every 40 seconds from the podium at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
According to alarming projections, the number of jarringly anachronistic remarks about gender alone will easily number in the hundreds.
“As the convention kicks off Tuesday with speeches from the likes of Rick Santorum and Nikki Haley, we should prepare ourselves to hear a more-or-less unending stream of ideas that should never even enter one’s mind, let alone be verbalized, in this day and age,” said Elizabeth Unger, a political scientist at Georgetown University. “It’s difficult to comprehend, but dozens of comments on such topics as human relationships and the physical world itself—which will seem as if they were crafted by some primitive unthinking civilization that existed centuries ago—will actually be emphasized, repeated, and used to punctuate key points in every single speech.”

I went off on one of those long, knowledge seeking journeys a while back. I got tired of hearing the whine about Blacks supporting Democrats and such. I knew from history that the first Blacks elected to Congress after the Civil War were Southern Republicans. After a few years, they all disappeared, but I didn’t know why. So, I went off looking for the reason why Blacks began to leave the Republican Party. I was thinking it was all due to things in the 1950’s and 1960’s, but when I stumbled upon that little known fact, that changed my outlook on everything.
People think it’s a recent agenda that the GOP has been veering to the right, but that trek started over 100 years ago. What we’re seeing is the seeds planted long ago beginning to bear fruit now. The sad part is, the current GOP loves the idea of becoming more conservative. In doing that, they are basically pushing the Black population into the arms of the Democratic Party. If you notice, the Dems don’t even really have to pay lip service to Blacks anymore.
If a Conservative wants to know why Blacks voted for Democrats at rates of 90% or higher, they only need to look in the mirror. As long as the GOP keeps tracking right, the Democratic candidate will get 90%-95% of the vote from Black America. The only thing that will change that is if the Dems go Far left and a third Centrist party steps in between the Dems and the GOP.

You are arguing apples to oranges here my friend. If you make $95,000 then you are not going to pay the 25% after deductions and your AGI is brought to a real taxable level then you will pay 8% income tax rate. Now Payton Manning is a player and his income is counted as wages then after deductions he will pay 24%. Both income levels have probably made some investments so they will both pay 15% on any capital gains made on the investment.

For instance, I was researching Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, and found out about her hometown in Florida — a veritable All Black city that’s been that way since Reconstruction; that led to my interst in other “all black towns”; and the existence of Rosewood.
You’ve just showed me that I have to start digger deeper into my “roots”.

I wouldn’t think there are more than 5-6 that know the historical perspective. That said, when it’s been going on for 100 years, who would know that anyway? It’s not like you can pick up any history book and find that information.
It’s no different than many Blacks who don’t know how to swim because their parents and/or siblings didn’t know how to swim. When you have a system that works, you don’t change it. Liberal Republicans got Blacks elected after the Civil War. Progressive minded people helped during the fight to end Jim Crow and segregation. Those things are almost instinctive in the Black Community. If it were Conservatives that had done all that, you’d likely see Blacks voting 95% for GOP candidates.
Look back at how the percentage has increased for Democrats and compare that to the decline of moderate and liberal Republicans.

I’ve dabbled into the towns and communities. Funny that you mention Rosewood. You don’t find that story or the story about Tulsa, Oklahoma in history books either. The Greenwood section of Tulsa was known as the “Black Wall Street” because of the concentration of wealth within that neighborhood. All that money didn’t keep it from getting burned down during the riots of 1919 though.

Earlier this week, RNC Chairman Michael Steele told a group of 200 students at DePaul University that African-Americans “don’t have a reason” to vote for Republican candidates.
During his remarks he also acknowledged that for decades the GOP pursued “‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South.”
Steele was asked to explain why an African-American should vote Republican at a university-sponsored discussion on the conservative movement. The RNC chairman’s response: “You really don’t have a reason to, to be honest — we haven’t done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True.”
Steele also discussed with students his own experience being the victim of racial discrimination — a subject that the he has openly addressed in the past. Steele told TV One’s Roland Martin in November that even some of his fellow Republicans are “scared” of him because of his race.
Steele acknowledged his party’s failure to reach out and connect with African-Americans and other marginalized communities. “We have lost sight of the historic, integral link between the party and African-Americans,” he explained.
Steele went on to make a candid statement about how the disconnect between Republicans and minorities is not new and has been a part of the party’s strategy for years. The Chicago-Sun Times reports on what the RNC Chairman had to say:

That’s where you’re wrong. People try to paint it as a race thing when it’s nothing of the sort. The message that the Republicans peddle is not one that will go over well in the Black Community. As I’ve asked other people before, how can you tell someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when they are walking around with bare feet?
You don’t have to promise any giveaways either. All you have to do is level the playing field. When people have been continuously mistreated simply because of the color of their skin, anything they hear that remotely sounds that way will be perceived as such. Find an animal that has been abused. Raise your hand like you’re going to hit it and watch the response.
It’s all conditioning, and it will not change in 5-10 years. You’re talking about a community that has been physically and mentally shackled for close to 200 years on this soil. You can’t change that mindset in a single generation. You can’t will that kind of change either. It has to be genuine outreach to want to help someone to help themselves that will get there. As long as you have the current mouthpieces belittling the race as a whole, you set things back years each time they say something stupid.

King Hussein Obama does not subscribe to real American values. With that fact laid out here, it’s no surprise that Lil Hussein has thrown out the work requirement. This “president” uses “his” anti-colonial values to justify wealth redistribution which is the key component to “his” gutting Welfare Reform.
What in the world is racist about calling out this president on his failed policies? Give it up, you McFly Commie Libs. You know that your “president” failed even worse than your hero, Jimmah Carter. It’s not racism, you naive secular progressives. It’s called, the “man” fell down on the job. I would say that a lot of African-American men would be much better than King Hussein Obama. Dr. Keyes and Herman Cain come right to mind because they are real men who would stand up to liberalism, dictators while creating real private sector jobs. President Romney and Vice President Ryan WILL seriously end Welfare as we all know it – for good! You clueless libs are going to be in for a rude surprise in January.

To sum it up in one word, attitude. You can’t denigrate me and then expect me to vote for you as though nothing happened. Blacks pick up on those dog whistle phrases just as well as others do.
How often do you suppose they have heard ‘Republicans are racist” ?
As many times as they’ve heard Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and others being referred to as race pimps. Actions speak louder than words. Don’t devolve every friggin’ incident into race and you won’t be viewed as racist.
If they caught Biden’s comment,?
Yep, and if you pay attention, you’ll hear laughter after he said that. It’s all in presentation. If you say something and mean it as humorous, it will come through in the context. If you don’t mean it as such, that will show as well. Compare the reactions to Biden’s comments and those from someone like Chris Rock. The two of them are pretty much saying the same thing and getting the same reaction.

“The message that the Republicans peddle is not one that will go over well in the Black Community.”
So what part of the R message is that doesn’t resonate. The part about rugged individualism and self reliance, individual responsibility, limited govt, free market capitalism, getting a hold of runaway debt? I have a difficult time believing African Americans are against all these things. Or am I wrong?
“As I’ve asked other people before, how can you tell someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when they are walking around with bare feet?”
That’s a nice bit of hyperbole and rhetoric but how many people have you seen running around barefooted? Seems to me that a lot of kids from poor neighborhoods somehow manage to run around in $100 Nikes as opposed to being barefooted. Enough with the nonsense about opportunity or lack of bootstraps. Prestigious colleges in California are packed out with Asians who went to many of the same tough inner city schools as many blacks. The difference in the 2 groups isn’t about opportunity or about not having bootstraps. Its about values such as family(including the 2 parent family), an incredible emphasis on education and hard work, staying out of trouble, etc. Until you address the uncomfortable truths of why black people are failing absymally relative to other minorities you’re going to be continously mired in collective failure.
Poor Central Americans who can’t even speak our language travel 3,000 miles through a desert in which hundreds die every year just to reach America and make enough money doing menial labor to support themselves and their families back in CA. These poor, uneducated Latins that can’t even speak English forgot to get the memo about how hard life is. Waaaaaa! So did the Asians whose forefathers were little more than indentured servants working on railroads.
I don’t want to hear any of the lame ass excuses and crap about not even having bootstraps to begin with. That’s a bunch of garbabe and frankly if you haven’t been to a 3rd world country outside of resorts then you don’t know what the hell not having bootstraps really means. This is the land of opportunity and if someone can’t make it here then they can’t make it anywhere. People need to quit their damn whining, quit blaming their failure on some racial bogey man, look in the mirror about the cultural habits that keep them down, and get their shyte together.

Silly comment. You would be hard pressed to find a nation on earth that wasn’t founded on violence and whose people have never warred against others.

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

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.

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.

And about 20 years before that in 1981 Michael Donald was lynched in Mobile.

When you develop an understanding of the difference between a put and a call lemme know. I’ll give you some advice. Free of course- something you can afford.
Well that’s just terrible, Doom! Did you have to charge your bottle after paying out all that. 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.

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.

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.

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?

“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race”

Obama has been the most divisive president in history and his campaign has cynically played the race card all over and over again. The media has turned a blind eye.
But the American people have not.
Now Bookman and the media have orders from their masters to try to make the republicans somehow guilty too. Bookman, like the rest of the loyal lapdogs is writing his editorial on demand, parroting what the campaign needs him to say.

“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.”
It is the only possible way for Governor Romney to win.
He does not want us to really talk about his Bain experience as a vulture capitalist or his term as Governor where he presided over
the state 47th in job creation.
He stands to win ONLY if he can get every racist slimeball to crawl out from under a rock to the voting booth. What’s that…20-25% of the population?
While every Republican is not a racist, I no longer know any racist who is not one.
These people are the GOP base, we’ve seen them at Tea Party rallys with signs representing the President as a monkey, we see them on the intertoobs with posts of a hanging Obama labeled ROPE not hope….we see
it in the subtle and not so subtle rantings here on this blog.

We are unable to live in a world where there is so much for everybody. We tend to try and be above those who don’t have it or poor. Normally, we always say blacks and have pictures sent accross the TV or media anyway they can. racism in all forms hurt’s all of us no matter who we are. I am sure President Obama have taken so many hits and he will endure more of them but he takes it well. Romney don’t have the rights to create, start, talk or even have it mentioned that he is far better than President Obama, Ryan will break and bring Romney down….it will come over a dispute for something Ryan will do and not openly say. Then is the dressing of both of them, unprofessionally and they both look like streets thugs….in every way and none of us can discount their appearences. I think being a human being living here in America has gotten the best of our people because we have not tried to live together among one and other, rather, we try to be apart. I seen this in my own people; living where the whites does; dressing, talking, and even trying to emulate them. So none of us can talk, nor can other races, we all will sink together because what is under my foot you have the same. All of the material things we have……..it will not matter in the end. The buck stop with our elected leaders who put up a front and then can’t back up what they say……true with this 2012 2013 President election coming to surface!

Mitt Romney and Rand Paul are among the innumerable stealth racists in government.
They justify their abhorrent racially targeted statements by cloaking them in terms of fiscal policy.
Thus their code words – “entitlement society”, “poor work ethic”, “food stamp president, etc.
But occassionally their poisoned racial animus lips out as when Ricky Santorum said he meant “blah people” — when the world heard him say “black people” — as he spoke about parasitic Americans who get better lives by taking “somebody else’s money.
Or when Nut Gangrene declared that black people should demand jobs instead of food stamps. And he has proposed having poor students work as janitors in their high schools. Regardless of how they were intended, poor people and minorities sense that with those comments Gingrich is winking — some call it “dog whistling” — at certain white audiences by intimating that black people are lazy, happy to live off the government and lacking any intellect.

Give me a break….Obama and crew have been using the “Race” card from the get go. Obama promotes class warefare – tax those evil rich guye – mostly white – to Biden putting everyone back in chains….to pushing granny off the cliff….gee Jay, if you are going to pick a topic to slam Mitt, pick something else besides race and class warfare – a signature of Barry “Obama” Soetoro….in the meantime, unemployment is historically high, gas is more than double than when Obama to over, more and more folks are on food stamps, trillions have been spent with no appreciable job increases but only those friendly with Barry getting rich, and lets throw a little “Race” into the equation – the afro-american unemployment rate is in double digits..gee he is really helping his own..but wait..he is not black..but bi-racial…gee…time to take a look at where this country is going and get some new leadership including new members of congress..but lets race bait Jay..no better than Biden and his put you back in chanis attitude.

Come on Jay. You know Mitt needs the votes of more than just the self-proclaimed non-racist conservative Sons of Confederate Veterans that post here regularly. He needs the rest of the Republican base too so he has to pander to them.
