There have been more cries of racism since Obama has become president than I remember in the past. I think it is ridiculous, unfair, and cuts off any discussion. I would love to hear the liberal menace's take on criticizing ACORN, Obama, Van Jones, etc for what I think are legitimate things (which may or may not be debatable). Why do all the dems, libs, news outlets, Jimmy Carter, and the like always cry racism when conservatives are critical. To be fair and to give credit where credit is due, Obama does not do it. But, he doesn't condemn it either. Isn't he supposed to be post racial? Why does he allow this to happen? Makes me think he likes it. What do you think?
Here are some of the comments made about the Joe Wilson thing and the march on Washington on Sep 12., compiled by the hated Rush Limbaugh. Agree with him or disagree with him, it is indisputable that these comments were made. I just want to hear a rational liberal's (oxymoron? - Ha!) take.
CAMPBELL BROWN: (music) ...vicious, racist imagery attacking our first African-American president.
LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: (newsroom noise) Gentleman Joe Wilson has done much to make the racist history of South Carolina jump back into our present consciousness.
CANDY CROWLEY: (b-roll) Critics think this is about resistance to a black man as president.
JAMES CARVILLE: People are upset with President Obama because of the color of his skin. Who cannot believe that?
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Could there be a refusal to accept the legitimacy of Barack Obama as president because of his race?
WOLF BLITZER: A small but disturbing minority within the tea party movement is also blatantly anti-black.
JOHN RIDLEY: When you talk about racial image, this is not just standard debate.
ELAINE QUIJANO: (b-roll) A small but passionate minority is also voicing what some see as racist rhetoric.
JOHN AVLON: Hitler. Communism. Racism. All this ugliness is bubbling up.
ANDERSON COOPER: There is an undercurrent of racism in some of the criticism of the president.
JUAN WILLIAMS: An attack on somebody because you really don't like the fact that they are president or because of their race.
ROSS DOUTHAT: Clearly Barack Obama's race plays some role in the kind of anxieties that are roiling the political right.
CLARENCE PAGE: (outdoor noise) People are not just mad at Obama. They are mad at Jesse Jackson. They are mad at Reverend Wright. They are mad at Al Sharpton. They are mad at people who have nothing to do with Obama except they all happen to be black.
Of course let us not forget Jimmy Carter's comments from yesterday. What a nut!
And as a footnote, how in the world does Charlie Gibson not know what is happening in the ACORN story? Why is the NYT downplaying it after not reporting on it for days? Morons.

Lib Quote Of The Day
Green Czar of the Obama administration, Van Jones, the self-proclaimed Communist (not that there's anything wrong with that).
"I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was like, 'This is what I need to be a part of,'"
Well, Van, your wish has come true. You are now "part of" a radical presidency. You can retire a happy man now.
Oh, and did I mention that he is a "9/11 truther" that thinks the Bush administration allowed 9/11 to happen so that war could be declared.
"people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."
This man is just as crazy as the "birthers" that the left hates so much. Where is the hate for this man?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. He also called Republicans a-holes for trying to stop the Democrats (except he did not edit his statement). That was this year that he said this. Why does Obama gravitate towards these crazies, I wonder?
But, according to the article I just read, Al Gore loves him and Leo Dicaprio thinks he is a great man, so maybe I should just fall in line and drink the Kool-Aid as well. Let us not forget that one man is associating with all these crazy people with crazy ideas. Are we starting to think that maybe, just maybe, Obama thinks this way as well? Logic would dictate that this is true.
