The President will not say it

[nadinbrzezinski]

but I will.

All this birtherism is about this Uppity N---- . And if the press is gonna play with this, call it what it is, blatant racism.

[Poll_Blind]

1. Then he should say it- call them out! Pretending its about the citizenship thing is...

...cover for "he's black" and everyone knows it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. I don't think any pol

will go there.

[robinlynne]

9. Jesse jackson did.

[calimary]

15. And we all should, too.

Let's call it what it is - RACISM, and call the birthers what they are - RACISTS.

Make 'em deny it. Put THEM on defense. Force THEM to react and respond.

And then some of us might use their own comeback style - "well, I never did say they were RACISTS, and I suppose it's just not really fair to say they're RACISTS or that this is a RACIST attack against our president. Because we all just shouldn't be RACISTS by now just because our president isn't a white guy, and we should be over our RACISM by now. But one could certainly assume that hanging on this birther madness really is flat-out, bald-faced RACISM and... hey, I'm just sayin'..."

Keep it out there. KEEP hanging it around their necks like a millstone. KEEP it hanging around their necks like a millstone - as long as we, or they, draw breath. These assholes and the republi-CONS and teabaggers (teaRACISTS? RACISTbaggers?) should have it utterly laminated to them permanently like a big fat ugly scarlet letter that they'll be forced to wear around, and have to live down, for the rest of their lives.

16. good idea calimary!

[calimary]

17. I'm just not into being nice anymore. These RACISTS don't deserve it.

They have exhausted my patience and my ability to forgive (at least for now - since I'm a guilt-ridden Catholic who knows what Jesus said about forgiveness).

[robinlynne]

19. nothing mean about it. it is simply the truth.

[Autumn]

3. That's all it is. Him releasing his birth certificate

does nothing to put a stop to this nonsense. They have nothing else to use against him. Nothing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. He won't, but he should have said

"This is not about the long form of a birth certificate, this is about the color of my skin."

[Autumn]

8. The hell of it is, if he were white

they would love him.

[Buzz Clik]

4. Playing the race card on this (or any) issue changes the subject to an unwinnable argument.

Why bother?

[Raschel]

10. Agree. He played it perfectly.

[Solomon]

20. Agree but please don't minimize things by using what is to me

is a derogatory term, "playing the race card" designed and created to mimimze or dilute a racial inequity. Clearly there's something racial going on here so it would not be a case of "playing the race card" - it would be true. However, the fact that it's true doesn't mean you have to say it, and put it in people's faces. It's much more effective to let people figure it out for themselves.

[Greybnk48]

6. Exactly. He brought the Clan out of the closet. n/t

[Heidi]

7. Bill Maher's been saying it for ages. (nt)

[TheKentuckian]

11. That is 100% correct

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. Of course it is racist!

If that document is valid for every lily white person in America, it is valid for Obama too.

The fact that they keep hounding him is clear that they don't want to accept him because of his color.

I had to live this long in the U.S. to finally see what right-wing Americans have deevolved into. Or maybe not de-evolved. Maybe this is the way they always were, but had good P.R. to hide it, until now.

[JuniperLea]

13. Exactomundo...

And their attempts to talk around this issue now will only serve to show them for who they really are... racists, plain and simple. The BC was a vague way of saying it; I doubt there are any vague ways left. The new racist memes will be blatant and vile.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Can't wait

I mean so far it's been code. I want them to be open... like they were back in the day.

[BobbyBoring]

22. It would be hard to burn a cross

on the White House lawn I think

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. But it woud not be hard for one of these guys\gals

to use the word NIGGER and PRESIDENT at the line in the supermarket. That is what I want them to do... be open, so we know who's who in the zoo.

Well so far we have had code... like when people call him Barry... granted it was his way to try to be one of the boys at a teen... but it's taken on racial connotations.

As a historian it's been dang fascinating to see all the code.

HIM... not born in the US... FATHER is a kenyan... mau mau... socialist... alien, foreigner. not one of us.

Well I want them to GO THERE and use the N word... enough of this round the damn edges. Let us see their racism in the fracking open.

And I know the use of the words I have done will bother a few people here... and will even accuse ME (has happened before) of going there. Well I want THEM to go there. Enough of this... and our media... time they deal with ... race...like they just did in the tv machine. I think the TV machine will FINALLY go there.

[malaise]

18. That simple

Rec :hi:

[Fire1]

21. Of course! n/t

[fascisthunter]

23. the great thing Nadin is that many are now exposed for what they truly are

and there is no going back.... morons. Good to see ya again.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Same here, and you know what? with Trump

it might have been a stoopid bidness man going to the fringe. He knew the rational wing of the Rs would laugh all the way to the bank... you ... want to ... what? FUNNY.

But the birthers will lap this up... so his angle was the tea party

[TahitiNut]

24. This just in: Water is wet.

:shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. and in some places these days, slightly radioactive

:-)

[donheld]

28. Goldie Taylor spelled it out very well
