A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery

This panel led by the loony-left Melissa Harris-Perry is a travesty. Utterly dishonest, race-baiting claptrap — so much so that one hardly knows where to start in blasting it. She uses 20-year-old data, itself problematic, to pound home the idea that every time Republicans or conservatives say “welfare,” we really mean to stigmatize black people. (Note that one of the most left-wing panelists, claiming that voter-ID movements are actually anti-democratic, is Bob Franken, who once pretended to be a fair-minded journalist/anchor at CNN. Is there ever going to be a supposedly neutral journalist who comes out as a right winger? I doubt it.)
Anyway, as a founding board member of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, let me just say: “Welfare, welfare, welfare, welfare, Chicago, welfare, golf, welfare, food stamps, welfare, angry, welfare, arrogant, welfare, welfare, welfare, welfare.”
There: That should do it. I’ll just note in passing that I also referred to GW Bush’s administration as “arrogant and insular,” and that I have blasted John McCain for so often being angry. But, aside from that, welfare, welfare, welfare. Oh, and Dick Butkus, Mike Ditka, Brian Urlacher: Chicago. Oh, and welfare. welfare, welfare.

The Left seems to be frustrated, desperate and even scared.
Perhaps, Obama's internal polling isn't going so well.

Off topic but I just have to ask: Why no coverage of the Karl Rove murder joke?

I can't wait for President Obama's second term, and what he say's to Bibi...
Bibi: We have this saying 'Never Again'
President Obama: I am going to make it my personal Mantra.
Bibi: Your idea of it isn't the same as mine, is it?
President Obama: Nope

Kingfish: You'll be waiting UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER for "for President Obama's second term". Oh and after the DNC's just rammed through revision to their official platform which reestablished language confirming that Jerusalem IS the capitol of Israel, the BLACK JESUS once agains has egg on his face, and Bibi is perhaps standing by his side holding the BROOM HANDLE after he successfully rammed it up his glutamous maximus figuratively speaking of course!!!!!!!

Oh Kingfish, as you have constantly told us ANDREW BROWNS [ie the American people]over the last four years: "AH ANDY, AH ANDY...... YOUS KNOWS I WOULN'T LIES TO YA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the smell of desperation in the morning. The Dems are desperate and daily getting moreso. The Obama regime has lost the mandate of Heaven, and his situation steadily worsens. Everything -- including the weather -- seemingly conspires against his chances.
I don't expect the vote to be as catastrophically one-sided as the Reagan/Mondale election, but we're getting close -- approaching Reagan/Carter.
Butch| 9.4.12 @ 6:05PM
Quin, you deserve combat pay for watching this stuff. I cut away after two minutes; it's pretty easy to get the drift. I liked the Wake Forest prof who said, in effect, that the right to vote money out of someone else's pocket is a "fundamental American right." I think some of the founders of "fundamental America" had something to say about that.
And you others are right: this racism stuff reeks of desperation, and it must come from their own internal polling. They are running a base-only campaign, except for trying to tell some of those who voted for Obama to end American racism forever that they are still racists if they don't give him a second shot. May work on some of them, but I also doubt it will work on very many.

'....Republicans or conservatives say "welfare," we really mean to stigmatize black people...' This conservative Republican means in saying thus anybody/everybody who collects "welfare" for the entirety of their life [and living off the taxpayers of this country who work their butts off each/every day to financially provide for themselves and their families and in the process pays a ton of taxes to the government that funds "welfare"], while not honestly and diligently attempting to obtain the required education/knowledgable wherewithal to wean themself off of same. If those same people just so happen to be African-American, Hispanic, Polish Catholics, or ONE-EYED-ONE-HORNED-FLYING-PURPLE-PEOPLE-EATERS, then so be it. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, smells like a duck, etc; then you should be able to figure out that it AIN'T NO CAT, right????????
