Our Racist President Is A Divider Not A Uniter Who Hates White And Black People And Also Mexicans
Everybody knows by now that liberals are the real racists and Barack Obama is the racistest of them all.* But did you know that Obama ‘has divided America’ not just ‘on the basis of race’ — but on ‘class and partisanship’ too?
Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen lay it all out in today’s Wall Street Journal:
Our Divisive President
… Rather than being a unifier, Mr. Obama has divided America on the basis of race, class and partisanship. Moreover, his cynical approach to governance has encouraged his allies to pursue a similar strategy of racially divisive politics on his behalf.
Messrs. Caddell and Schoen ‘say this with a heavy heart’, but the evidence they present is irrefutable. For example, did you know:
- That this one time, Obama said this one white cop ‘acted stupidly’ for arresting this one black guy for no good reason? And what’s more, that our ‘president’ had the nerve to say that there was a ‘long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately’?
- That this other guy said Obama told him in private that he hoped all the white people in Arizona would have their throats slit by migrant workers or that there should be comprehensive immigration reform or something?
- That Obama’s Justice Department hasn’t prosecuted some big, scary black men for standing near a polling place this one time, which is totally against the law?
- That Obama’s favoritism towards black people has resulted in a whopping 23.2 percent unemployment rate amongst young white people while just 39.9 percent of young black people are unemployed?
What’s more, ‘Mr. Obama has also cynically divided the country on class lines.’ Feast your brains on this smoking gun:
- Wall Street fat cats and insurance bigwigs keep giving Obama money even though he sometimes says bad stuff in public about their industries because the public totally hates those guys, but then doesn’t really do all that much to curb their worst excesses.
Finally, Obama is a partisan.** Horrifyingly, Obama and Democrats are probably going to try to appeal to certain voting constituencies in the run-up to this November’s elections, predict Caddell and Schoen.
We would all be wise to heed their warnings and drum this race-class-and-political hustler out of office before he mildly rebukes someone or something again (and then politely backs down and/or uses said rhetoric to mask the fact he isn’t really doing shit to change much of anything socially, economically or politically).
*It’s actually worse than this — Obama simultaneously picks the cotton, serves mint juleps in the big house and whips the slaves on the Democrat Plantation. Also, he runs a high-tech Underground Railroad on the Internets and is a Grand High Imperial Trouser Snake in the Ku Klux Klan.
**He is also the brains behind the birther movement. Think about it, have you ever seen Obama and Orly Taitz in a room together?

The, um, thirty year rape of the American middle and working classes sort of did that. While you morons were lining the pockets of people like me, most of the people in America were barely making ends meet on double incomes and multiple jobs.
And even then, they mortgaged their futures.

This reminds me of a super-rich, yellow dog Republican friend I made in college who started freaking out not long after the election about how outrageous it was that “Obama wants to start a class war!”
As Calvin the Bold so nobly said, “All this was very funny until she did the same thing to me!”

The funny thing is the person I just mentioned didn’t say it like she was afraid, it was more of a challenge, “You shockingly uppity man, how dare you do this, well okay, if you want a class war, bring it on!!!”
I know a class war isn’t remotely likely, but I was just shaking my head. Yeah, you’re in the top 5% of the population and you want a “class war” because you somehow think you’ll come up ahead? You idiot.

It’s such a shame how he has brought friction to the point of rupture into the formerly perfect amity between races, economic classes, and political parties.
Also, it is precipitate villainy to refer to Molotov cocktails when they are neither tasty nor conducive to getting one’s drunk on. Also too, rarely if ever attached to rooster butts.

I thought things got a little crazy during Obama’s campaign. Then a little more crazy over the health care bill. Now I don’t know what to think. I’m just not creative like that.
A person would think that there is a limit right? There has to be. The universe I live in does not allow for infinite stupid to exist. At some point it either explodes or collapses in on itself only to evaporate slowly over the next 1078 years dues to virtual particles in the quantum flux. (or… something like that, ahhh fergits)

Indeed. If we have learned anything since the 2008 primary season and onward, it is that no matter how stupid and angry the Redoublechins get, they can always get stupider and angrier.
Soon we should be able to derive the Moore’s Law equivalent for how often the stupid/angry doublings occur.

In my building we have a couple of wingnuts with whom I sort of get along. But they both have a real diagnosis. One was discharged from the military for his paranoia. The other patrols the park trying to kick out “vagrants”.

The way I see it, there are five peak-wingnut scenarios:
1) heart attack
2) stroke
3) being shot up with thorazine and stuffed into a straight-jacket
4) being so ostracized socially and politically that you have to put a cork in it to avoid the skids
5) becoming the Hitler or Stalin you invoke and meeting a similar fate (eventually)

Yeah, I know – it was obviously a joke, and generally threats are expressed as directed towards specific targets.
Which is why this continues to be a long-running joke for me. The doucheitude inherent in banning someone from commenting for saying something like, oh, I dunno, “Ah, the guillotine – an idea whose time has come again” by claiming that it constituted a “threat” just never stops being funny to me.

News Corp. has always been about leveraging the moron mentality into profit.
Unfortunately, with the Wall Street Journal, they’re not dealing with morons. Mostly. It’s also why Fox Business Network is a failure and had to dig up Don Imus’ undead corpse to try to get ANY ratings.
