Conservative Outrage Over Obama's Thoughts On Race!

Conservatives: Did you know that your racist emails are sent to MyRightWingDad.net? That website tracks and post the most offensive emails sent by those on the racist right! Are you that convinced that Obama is the one who panders in racism?

President Barack Obama acknowledges that his second term isn't going so well. He knows that his job approval affects his party's base. The Democrats are scared that they may lose the majority in the Senate.

The New Yorker asks the president about his thoughts on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy.

As you know Barack Obama tries to avoid mentioning race. But to conservatives, all day everyday for the president and his merry band of race hustlers.

Bill-O (also known as O'Loofus) is the chief agitator of race hustling.

Do you remember the feud with rappers Snoop Dogg and Ludacris?

Do you remember O'Loofus was asking then candidate Barack Obama about his ties to Jeremiah Wright and his former congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ?

Do you remember the "M-fer I want more ice-tea!" comment?

Do you remember that O'Loofus thought that Black conservatives weren't invited at the March On Washington's 50 year celebration, but in fact they were?

Obama being the first Black president, he knows that his presence in the White House draws the ire of the racist right. The racist right has clearly been aggravated by his reelection. There are some in the conservative junk food media with blinders on.

As you know, his job approval from Whites is extremely low. Three out of 10 support the president.

That's relatively low especially in a nation where 75% of the nation's population is White. But somewhere in the fold is the motivations to why Whites have such an unprecedented hatred of the nation's first Black president.

Some of the parts of the New Yorker included:

Obama’s election was one of the great markers in the black freedom struggle. In the electoral realm, ironically, the country may be more racially divided than it has been in a generation. Obama lost among white voters in 2012 by a margin greater than any victor in American history. The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country. Obama’s drop in the polls in 2013 was especially grave among white voters. “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President,” Obama said. “Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black President.” The latter group has been less in evidence of late.


“There is a historic connection between some of the arguments that we have politically and the history of race in our country, and sometimes it’s hard to disentangle those issues,” he went on. “You can be somebody who, for very legitimate reasons, worries about the power of the federal government—that it’s distant, that it’s bureaucratic, that it’s not accountable—and as a consequence you think that more power should reside in the hands of state governments. But what’s also true, obviously, is that philosophy is wrapped up in the history of states’ rights in the context of the civil-rights movement and the Civil War and Calhoun. There’s a pretty long history there. And so I think it’s important for progressives not to dismiss out of hand arguments against my Presidency or the Democratic Party or Bill Clinton or anybody just because there’s some overlap between those criticisms and the criticisms that traditionally were directed against those who were trying to bring about greater equality for African-Americans. The flip side is I think it’s important for conservatives to recognize and answer some of the problems that are posed by that history, so that they understand if I am concerned about leaving it up to states to expand Medicaid that it may not simply be because I am this power-hungry guy in Washington who wants to crush states’ rights but, rather, because we are one country and I think it is going to be important for the entire country to make sure that poor folks in Mississippi and not just Massachusetts are healthy.”

Somehow conservatives don't think this email is racist!

Obama’s advisers are convinced that if the Republicans don’t find a way to attract non-white voters, particularly Hispanics and Asians, they may lose the White House for two or three more election cycles. And yet Obama still makes every effort to maintain his careful, balancing tone, as if the unifying moment were still out there somewhere in the middle distance. “There were times in our history where Democrats didn’t seem to be paying enough attention to the concerns of middle-class folks or working-class folks, black or white,” he said. “And this was one of the great gifts of Bill Clinton to the Party—to say, you know what, it’s entirely legitimate for folks to be concerned about getting mugged, and you can’t just talk about police abuse. How about folks not feeling safe outside their homes? It’s all fine and good for you to want to do something about poverty, but if the only mechanism you have is raising taxes on folks who are already feeling strapped, then maybe you need to widen your lens a little bit. And I think that the Democratic Party is better for it. But that was a process. And I am confident that the Republicans will go through that same process.”

Ain't like Ronald Reagan used Marines for umbrella service! 

For the moment, though, the opposition party is content to define itself, precisely, by its opposition. As Obama, a fan of the “Godfather” movies, has put it, “It turns out Marlon Brando had it easy, because, when it comes to Congress, there is no such thing as an offer they can’t refuse.”

That subject got the conservative agitators upset. Especially That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

He was on his right wing carnival radio program complaining about New York's Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo's support for women's rights and hsi endorsement of ban on semi-automatic weapons in the wake of Sandy Hook and the killing of law enforcement in his state.


He and King Hippo as well as That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall made it a point to complain and whine about how the president is the one playing the race-card.

So whenever they make a talking point out of a local news event say a White man being beaten up by a bunch of young Black teenagers, you thank them!

Anyway the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog group claims that the president is playing the race card to trump up job approval.

The Newsbusters crew are already at work claiming that it was a "lovefest" for Obama.

Tom Blumer wrote that his points about how Obama is lying about the numerous attacks on him cause of his race. He even went after the Affordable Care Act as an example to prove that conservatives aren't racist.

Bloomer wrote, it's totally predictable results of the Obama administration's [failed liberal policies]. The Obama reelection campaign in 2012 effectively stroking the racial divide in so many ways. There's enough proof of that in the actions, inactions, and statements of Attorney General Eric Holder alone, but there is of course much, much more.

[The drop down] a dozen or so points in the polls without a quite diverse group of people turning on you. Gallup's January 6-12 polling results show 39%, 39%, and 36% approval among the 30-49, 50-64, and 65-plus age groups, respectively. In other words, Obama's getting weak approval across the board from Americans over 30. Your "largely from older whites" claim is horse manure. There's plenty of disapproval to go around.

[The New Yorker failed] to point out that Obama is not really "black," as in "African-American." But more to the point in popular perception, what matters far more than Obama's race, which is the same as it was 14 months ago, are his broken "if you like your plan-doctor-medical provider-drug regimen, you can keep them" guarantees and the disastrous, still security-compromised rollout of HealthCare.gov and many of the state exchanges.

[Obama, this guy who] supposedly an "enormous brain" who has been "bored to death his whole life" because what ordinary people do just isn't that challenging, this is really a dumb statement. As a friend asked me earlier today, in essence, "How many kids are going to become aware of this and decide that pot isn't so bad — after all, this guy become president!"

Okay, this second conservative outrage of the year.

What's your thoughts on they're latest outrage of all things Obama?
