Carter Says Obama Row Is Racist

[nova]

Not at all and no surprise you would jump to that conclusion. How small of a minority are they? When they make that much noise it's hard to tell and don't you think it diminishes and over shadows whatever legitimacy the people with legitimate concerns have? The extremists must be denounced, but we know that is not going to happen, because it does not serve the political ends now does it?

Hey, you said it not me. Its just really funny how the left in this country is trying everything they can to demonize and marginalize the opposition amongst the American people by pointing to the "extremists" and yelling at the top of their lungs "SEE!! IF YOU DON'T DENOUNCE THEM YOU'RE ALL EVIL!!!" when during the last 8 years they embraced the left wing extremists wholeheartedly and pretty much let them run the show.

Or have you forgotten about those on the left doing really similar things up to including burning just about every member of GWBs admin in effigy.

Remember kids, going letting the fringe run the protest is 100% if you're on the left, but having them within 100 miles of a protest for anyone else is just evil...

A horse shit answer and no I did not. Extremists are extremists. They take away from the legitimate concerns the people have. If you are not an extremist yourself, denouncing those who are so far out, helps your cause with the majority. If you want to be marginalized, then lump yourself with the nut jobs.

The implication of absolutely everything you wrote is that because they're not being denounced, they must be accepting of it and thus its OK to demonize, marginalize and ignore them. You're following the left wing standard operating procedure of demonization to to try and shut up the opposition.

According to liberals:

If you question the solvency of SS, well you hate old people.
If you question the effectiveness of welfare, well you hate poor people.
If you question affirmative action, well you're a racist.

And now, if you question a massive expansion of federal power, well then you're just revolutionary right wing whackjob.

Extremists are extremists. They take away from the legitimate concerns the people have. If you are not an extremist yourself, denouncing those who are so far out, helps your cause with the majority. If you want to be marginalized, then lump yourself with the nut jobs.

Says the person who's side has been run by the nutjobs for the last 8 years. Nice job selectively quoting and ignoring that BTW. I guess crazy is fine when its in the form of Cindy Sheehan, moveon.org, code pink, etc etc etc.

 

[Accountable]

I listened today to a series of sound bites from the most extreme statements that have come out of the so called "tea parties" and I'm willing to bet if racism is not involved then it is a collection of some of the most extreme idiots in this country.

Not at all and no surprise you would jump to that conclusion.

:cool

Carter was a massive failure.

Requiem for the right- Newseek by Sam Tanenhas, biographer of Whittaker Chambers and Wiliam Buckley.

Is there an analogous historical moment? Conservatives argue that this is 1965 and that a renaissance is at hand.
I disagree. Today, conservatives seem in a position closer to the one they occupied during the New Deal. The epithets so many on the right now hurl at Obama—"socialist," "fascist"—precisely echo the accusations Herbert Hoover and "Old Right" made against FDR in 1936. And the spectacle of citizens appearing at town-hall meetings with guns recalls nothing so much as the vigilante Minutemen whom Buckley evicted from the conservative movement in the 1960s. A serious conservative like David Frum knows this, and has spoken up. It is remarkable how few others have. The moon party is being yanked ever farther onto its marginal orbit.

Good god the media continues to do everything they can to build up and asscover for the Obama admin. They want sooooo bad for him to be the fusion of FDR and JFK that they just can't stand it that we peasants would dare to question dear leader....

Your way of trying to diminish what comes out of people's mouths when you don't agree with what is being said. This man is a conservative.

Yes because us hard core conservatives are well known to be anti-drug war, pro-equality under the law for all races, sexes, sexual orientations, etc etc, anti-military intervention, pro-abortion, pro-privacy, etc etc etc. Thats an absolutely brilliant observation you make there. :sarcasm

Better start denouncing quick minor or the entire left is gonna be completely discredited. They are protesting with your guys after all so you must be responsible...

Cops and Anarchists Clash at G-20 - TIME

AFP: G20 police, protesters take to tweets

Also kinda funny how this actual violence and extremism is getting a lot less media play than the exaggerating extremism and violence of the town halls and tea parties. Guess it doesn't fit the narrative....

 

[Accountable]

I agree about the coverage (we mustn't embarrass Lord Obama, after all), but the current dem leadership can hardly be linked with anarchists. They want maximum gov't control.

I agree but not my real point. According to Minor, if you're protesting at the same time and place, you're all connected and those anarchists are hanging around a bunch of left wingers, therefore until the left wingers denounce the violence its partially their fault....

 

[Accountable]

Oh okay. Got it. :thumbup

Oh man, now this is racism, and its not coming from the "radical militant, dangerous fringe right."

Get to denouncing minor, or its all your fault... :sarcasm

American Thinker: Stop Allowing The Left To Set The Rules

I am so sick of the Left being allowed to make the rules. Imagine the absurdity of a competition in which one side is allowed to set the rules against their opponent. The Left tells us what is racist. The Left tells us what we can and cannot say. The Left published a cartoon depicting former black Secretary of State Condolezza Rice as an Aunt Jemima; another depicted Rice as a huge-lipped parrot for her Massa Bush. Neither were considered racist by their creators or publishers, or even widely condemned on the Left.

In opposition to black Republican Michael Steele's campaign to run for U.S. Senate, a liberal blogger published a doctored photo of Steele in black face and big red lips made to look like a minstrel. The caption read, "Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house". Not one Democrat denounced these racist portrayals of black conservatives.

[FONT=times new roman,times]And yet, a sign seen at a tea party depicting Obama as a witch doctor is considered by the Left to be beyond the pale and obviously racist. Why is the Left, given their track record of bias, granted final authority to determine the intent of the sign? Why do we conservatives so quickly and easily allow ourselves to be put on the defensive?[/FONT]

What They're Telling Us - Mark Steyn - The Corner on National Review Online=

True. Nobody minds liberal commentators expressing the hope that Clarence Thomas "will die early from heart disease like many black men," etc. Contemporary identity-group politics are prototype one-party states: If you're a black Republican Secretary of State, you're not really black. If you're a female Republican vice-presidential nominee, you're not really a woman. What's racist and sexist here is the notion that, if you're black or female, your politics is determined by your group membership.
