[quote name='Quillion']You missed the point of myke's post. He was commenting on the
disapproval rating and the huge difference between Obama's and past presidents. I have a direct correlation for you.
Kanye West famously claimed during the Katrina telethon: "George Bush doesn't care about Black People." He has been isolated and, for example, was not invited to the Haiti Telethon.
Glenn Beck claimed: "Barack Obama has a deep-seated hatred of white people." He still has his show, and continues to be lauded for "speaking truth to power."
Are you really naive enough to believe that there is no racist component to the "Tea Party" movement at all, and that the individuals holding the signs are completely isolated, and/or liberal plants to make the rest of the
Real Americans look bad? Because if the weight of prevailing evidence can't convince you of race as at least an aggravating factor, then you are clearly of deficient mental capacity, and there's no need for further discussion.
That is not an
ad hominem, it is a conclusion based on your inability to accept simple evidence and generate understanding.[/QUOTE]
"Barack Obama has a deep-seated hatred of white people."
Ok, so wait wait wait a second.... You people sit here and call people racist all the time with no foundation, but Glenn beck does it in the context of the police case in which obama said the police acted stupidly, before he even found out all the facts, and you call beck a racist? Then everyone in this thread who call the tea party a racist party are racist themselves. Beck may have worded it screwy and the media seems to like to take just the racist sounding part for their clips.

Which one has the whole story? The first one is the whole clip, and what Beck was saying is that you would of never heard a white president say "well of course he was breaking into the house, he was black". So why did Obama say the white police officers were acting stupidly in the case? he wasnt blindsided by the question, he actually approved it beforehand.
Beck may have worded it very badly, and we all know Obama doesnt hate white people, but he has a point, why would the president make such a comment?
What evidence are you speaking of that condemns the majority of the tea party as racist? A few signs? Racist name calling? Until the tea party puts in effect a racist policy, or advocate racism out right, I see no reason to condemn a party that has absolutely nothing to do with RACE. Get it through your heads, that they want less government spending across the board, not the legalization of slavery. Those two things are so far from each other, you guys are ridiculous.
I am committed to pretending the anti war movement was not just prone to violence, but condoned and enacted violence because there was a million times more "evidence" there as here.
