Carter’s and other charges of racism when the policies of President Obama are opposed is pure “chickenshittery” or BULLSHIT! Can I say bull***t? I guess I just did.

The reason, of course, is because the left positively thrives on racial division. Not only do they not want the wound to heal, they savagely tear the scab off and pour salt into it. Liberal politics is based on division and grievance-mongering.

The vicious racism of recent times has been that directed at Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele; todays Democrats hate and fear an black conservative who has left their plantation as much as their forbears hated and feared Nat Turner.

As Morgan Freeman said: “The way to end racism is to stop talking about it.”

Liberals, this time you’ve unzipped and stepped on it. What political genius on Axelrod’s conference calls or JournoList thought it was somehow smart to call millions of Americans racists, when they themselves know good and goddamn well they aren’t? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I smell desperation. Name-calling is always the last refuge of the left-wing scoundrel: ample proof of which can be seen on these boards.

I’m sorry, but we ARE in the post-racial era whether the left likes it or not. If a black man can be elected president, how racist can America possibly be? This isn’t a rhetorical question and the left can’t answer it. What opportunity is there left to be gained by black Americans if America were less racist? Race Card, meet the law of diminishing returns. If we can elect a black president, we can’t be racist enough to matter.

Our Paul @ 4:

We….We….We….We….However, we do find you infinitely amusing,…

Always the royal “we”. Aren’t you the precious little git? Glad to see us knuckleheads provide our betters such good fodder. Feh…

This racist card is getting worn out. It no longer has any strength.

[...] http://pajamasmedia.com/vodkapundit/…his-character/ President Barack Obama. He’s liberal. He’s black. He’s the President of the Untied States of America. What more could the Democrats want? Well, apparently they’d prefer it if he was maybe just a skosh more effective, because his every failure — or even misstep — is now met with charges of “Racism!” Funny how the American people weren’t racists when we elected him. We weren’t racists when he Rahmed his $780 billion special-interest payoff through Congress. We weren’t racists when the polls supported the non-specific, hopey-changey version of his health care reform. But when Americans pushed back — against having their heating bills doubled, against having their health care plans usurped — suddenly, now, yes, we’re racists. No less an authority than Jimmy Carter (and his peanut heads from Kos and HuffPo on down to Garofalo and other, even less successful, hangers-on) has said so. So. Has the America which elected President Obama by a comfortable majority not even one year ago, become suddenly more racist than it was on November 8, 2008? Or, implausible as it may seem, has a center-right country unsurprisingly soured on a left-left President and his left-left-left-left-left enablers on Capital Hill and in the Washington press corps? And could it be just barely possible, that even some center-left folks here in America be a little put off by their Commander-in-Cheif telling them to knock off all that oh-so-inconvenient “bickering” and back-talking? It doesn’t take Occam’s razor to slice this one, does it? [...]

it is both laughable that Carter takes himself seriously and even more so that the press does.

if it was Carter giving the speech Joe might have called out “you’re stupid”

President Obama & his supporters such as fellow Democrats & the MSM use the boring, overplayed, brittle race card because they have no other weapon to use. They are desperate. However, I believe the overused race card thing is out of gas. It will have no real effect. After calling the the people at the Tea Parties & other protesters mobs, Nazi’s, & “evil-mongers” they sheepishly throw out the race card bomb. They are cowards & will be proven to be cowards as time moves on.

There is partisan arguing, and there is partisan arguing with a dash of racism.

And then there is partisan arguing based on false accusations of racism. Fortunately, the message of the Tea Parties was obvious to the top 98% of the country, who are able to identify Change! that has come to government since last year.

Jebus jon…. That comment is the biggest piece of chickenshittery that I’ve read in a long time. And that’s saying something because I just got back from Huffpo to see their reaction of the ACORN shutdown. (I NEED A SHOWER)

Every party has crazies. Big whoop.. No insight required there. Score one for you… touche.. zzzzzzzzz…..

When racism charges rear their ugly head in a comments section, it usually means that someone wants to change the subject and does NOT want to discuss an issue on it’s mertis.

Way to go..

I uppose if Thomas Sowell had been elected president (I wish) and was now pushing a pro-feeedom agenda, including massive tax cuts for all, we’d be protesting against him, too. Because we’re, you know, racists. We’d much rather elect Hillary Clinton, forego big tax cuts and surrender what’s left of our liberty, than have Sowell as president. Because, again, we’re racists.

Our Paul does a great job of demonstrating the heart of the problem.

Obama was sold to “us” by “them” as the man who would finally unite the bigger “us”, and move the country forward.

Pick your favorite issue, and insert the ultra left position as “them”, and anybody else as “us”. Really, pick any topic. Unions, environment, taxes, spending, race, trade, health care, GWOT, etc.

But now we see that was total bullshit. Instead, the default position is MORE divisiveness. If you disagree, it’s because you’re ignorant or racist or selfish or uncaring or unpatriotic or uncouth, yada yada label. And if that doesn’t quiet “us” down, its “Shut up bitches, we won!”

And here we have a prime example of one of “them” telling “us” that we are most definitely NOT part of the bigger “us”.

Maybe this is that audacity stuff “they” kept talking about.

There is racism, it is out there, and it’s not being acknowledged by the right because they know they don’t want a discussion on race.

It is — but the Left is using it to try to shut down serious discussion about anything, including race.

So, who is it again that doesn’t want a serious discussion on race?
