The Obligatory "Yeah, they don't understand that we don't care that he's Black - it's that he's a Socialist!" - Granite Grok

The Obligatory “Yeah, they don’t understand that we don’t care that he’s Black – it’s that he’s a Socialist!”

 

And given that the news is out that President Obama was a dues paying member of the New Party out of Chicago (juuuuusssstttt to the right of being communists – and certainly in the mold of European Socialists), I think that the title “Socialist” stands.  But the race-baiters on the Left can’t seem to get that it isn’t his skin color that motivates the Right against him – it’s his ideas, his stances, and his “You aren’t anything without Government” outlook that always puts Government over the rest of society.

Anyways, the CBC decided to throw out the latest race card taunt:

Angela Rye, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, argued that President Obama has struggled during his first term due to racially-motivated opposition from conservatives who dislike having a black president.

“This is probably the toughest presidential term in my lifetime,” Rye said during CSPAN’s Q&A yesterday. “I think that a lot of what the president has experienced is because he’s black. You know, whether it’s questioning his intellect or whether or not he’s Ivy League. It’s always either he’s not educated enough or he’s too educated; or he’s too black or he’s not black enough; he’s too Christian or not Christian enough. There are all these things where he has to walk this very fine line to even be successful.”

She said that “a lot” of conservative opposition is racially-charged, citing the use of the word “cool” in an attack ad launched by Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS superPAC.

You know, I’ve been called racist (or for good measure, a racist homophobe) so often, I could freaking care less what you say.  I could be the most racially blind person in the world, and simply because I’m white and he isn’t and I’d still be a racist.  Because it isn’t about race, it’s about winning a mere political race and the spoils / patronage that comes from it.

Do you think, that THEY ever think, that the more they bully people like this (and it IS a form of bullying!), that people will just vote against Obama simply because of people like Angela Rye of the Congressional Black Caucus continually insulting them?  Or is that just the too EASY answer?
