Why can't Obama ever show his long-form birth certificate?
He spent millions of dollars trying to hide this!
No matter what [liberals/fact-checkers/Barack Obama] says, he still hasn't provided evidence to prove he's a natural born citizen!
He never showed his college transcripts from Occidental College. His grandma says he was born in Kenya. His legal name is Berry Soetoro. He's actually a Muslim who masquerades a Christian. Of course, he attended a Black Liberation Church with an anti-American racist pastor named Jeremiah Wright!
Expect this from a conservative viewer.
The notorious Birther Movement is alive and well.
CBS/New York Times Poll states that nearly a quarter of Americans believe that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Among all Republicans, 45 percent believe he was born in another country, as do 45 percent of Tea Party supporters, the poll shows. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20056061-503544.html
Even with the amount of evidence to debunk the claims, conservatives refuse to believe that the President Of The United States is legitimate.
The conservatives are standing far away from this outrageous comic produced by some underground comic book artist. This person attracted a lot of attention due to the fact the depiction of President Obama in blackface and racial stereotypes seems to be the outlet of the comic.
Where do we go from here? Race-baiting and fear-mongering a tactic of conservative activism. It's frustrating that the Republican Party is determined to attack President Obama, but this "socialist" nonsense is really making me more likely to continue ignoring Republicans.
Just about 90% of Republicans/conservatives believe that President Obama is a "socialist", "Marxist", and/or other ridiculous accusations. So much for a post-partisan America!
Is it fair for me to say that anyone who criticizes President Obama by throwing the ridiculous "socialist" claim are Anti-American. The conservative media have went into full spin with this "socialist" fear-mongering. And to top that, in my opinion as well as the title of this video, the Republicans and their allies in the conservative media have used "racial undertones" towards the president.
They won't say it, but they found a way to beat the odds!
39 percent of Republicans believe Obama should be impeached, 29 percent are not sure, 32 percent said he should not be voted out of office.
36 percent of Republicans believe Obama was not born in the United States, 22 percent are not sure, 42 percent think he is a natural citizen.
31 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a "Racist who hates White people" -- the description once adopted by Fox News's Glenn Beck. 33 percent were not sure, and 36 percent said he was not a racist.
63 percent of Republicans think Obama is a socialist, 16 percent are not sure, 21 percent say he is not
24 percent of Republicans believe Obama wants "the terrorists to win," 33 percent aren't sure, 43 percent said he did not want the terrorist to win.
21 percent of Republicans believe ACORN stole the 2008 election, 55 percent are not sure, 24 percent said the community organizing group did not steal the election.
23 percent of Republicans believe that their state should secede from the United States, 19 percent aren't sure, 58 percent said no.
53 percent of Republicans said they believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama.
Conservatives tend to be more likely racists, bigots and ignorant.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a new campaign to respond to the spin from conservative news outlets expected to follow President Obama's State of the Union address.
In a new mailer sent out Wednesday to the committee's four-million member e-mail list, supporters are invited to join the new "State of the Union 'Fact Check FOX' Team."
"This group of Democratic Party activists will stand at the ready to counter the lies and distortions that erupt from the rightwing media and Republican spin doctors like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck following President Obama's State of the Union address on Wednesday night," the e-mail pitch says.
The DCCC is inviting members to send text messages, e-mails or use Facebook or Twitter to fact check the pundits weighing in after the speech.
Supporters who sign up for the program will also receive "rapid response fact check text alerts." The DCCC is aiming to recruit 5,000 new members to the fact-check team by midnight.
Al Jazeera Reports: White Power USA - The Rise of White Supremacists In The Age of Barack Obama.
With the election of the Barack Obama, a failing economy and anti-immigrant sentiment on the rise, some activists are calling it the perfect storm for recruitment by racist organisations.
Stormfront, the most popular white supremacist Internet forum, is home to discussion between extremists eager to influence the events. In addition to circulating a list of local organizers and promoting planned rallies, Stormfront members are trying to find ways to involve themselves in the events. In posts to the forum, many voice their intent to attend the Tea parties for the purpose of cultivating an "organized grassroots White mass movement."
Posts to Stormfront:
"We need a relevent [sic] transitional envelope-pushing flyer for the masses. Take these Tea Party Americans by the hand and help them go from crawling to standing independently and then walking toward racialism."
"We intervene to shape the new pro-White grassroots agenda from within the crowd. We intervene for active effect at the event, for advancement of White racial consciousness and solidarity, and for the growth of the organized grassroots White mass movement and the most perceptive racially aware activist element."
"I also agree that spreading the WN message at these events is a good idea-it's time already,we've gotta do it!! Carefully, of course."
"A big crowd of irate White folks protesting the government seems like the perfect time and place for us WN's to promote our cause, at least to my way of thinking."
"I distributed WN literature at the last Tea Party in Phoenix. I will be doing it again in July. This is the time and the place. For those on a budget, I would suggest printing business cards with the web address of your group or organization. Keep it simple."
"I think they'd be ideal for spreading WN literature and gaining recruits in large numbers, more quickly."
Tea Party Americans Coalition
An anti-Semite and white supremacist using the name "Whites Forward" created the Tea Party Americans Coalition (TPAC) as "a working group for serious White racialist ACTIVISTS in the US who want to effectively coordinate our efforts and intervene for effect in Tea Party-type events." Anti-Semitic, racist, and anti-immigrant themes run through the six issues on which the working group is based.
"Whites Forward" is hoping that TPAC will be the "genesis of our new White mass movement and the fertile womb for our pro-White political party." He has called on other white supremacist groups to align themselves with the coalition, "Take these Tea Party Americans by the hand and help them go from crawling to standing independently and then walking toward racialism." —Stormfront member "Whites Forward"including the Council of Conservative Citizens, the Nationalist Coalition, David Duke's EURO organization, and European Americans United.
Currently, 42 individuals have registered as TPAC members, including:
Don Black, well-known throughout the white supremacist and anti-Semitic community, both for his role as the founder and operator of Stormfront, and for his appearances and speeches at racist and anti-Semitic gatherings. Based in Florida, Black is a former Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan who served prison time for plotting to invade the Caribbean island of Dominica and overthrow its government.
John Ubele, the Florida-based Operations Manager for the neo-Nazi Nationalist Coalition. A former member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, Ubele was also a founding member of the Sons of Liberty Committee, a group whose stated goal was for "the interests of European Americans…to reign supreme in all deliberations and actions of our government." Ubele also hosted "Radio with John Ubele," a weekly radio program hosted on Stormfront.
National Alliance leader tells followers to spread neo-Nazi message at Tea Parties
Erich Gliebe, who heads the West Virginia-based National Alliance (NA), devoted a May 2009 Internet radio broadcast to recast the purpose of the Tea Parties as opportunities to unite the white race and motivate its members to action. Gliebe argued that white people have simply had enough of what he described as minorities relying on tax dollars to fund government programs. He explained that "middle class White Americans are finally protesting."
Optimistic that recruitment at the Tea Parties could expand his group's membership, Gliebe suggested that "a number of those who turned out on April 15th are ready to embrace the National Alliance's message." He also alleged that the NA had experienced an increase in applications and requests for information as a result of the Tea Parties.
Gliebe encouraged white people to exploit the events to form a movement that will address the "major issues facing White Americans today." Finally, he requested that individuals intending on participating in future tea parties distribute a pamphlet created by deceased National Alliance leader William Pierce.
White supremacist Billy Roper a Tea Party organizer in Arkansas
Billy Roper, who heads the white supremacist White Revolution group, based in Arkansas, is listed as an organizer on a Tea Party movement Web site. In a June 2009 post to the White Revolution blog, Roper claimed to be organizing a Tea Party in Arkansas and sending White Revolution "representatives who will be witnessing and converting lost souls at Tea Parties from North Carolina to Arizona." [emphasis in original]
A May blog post revealed that White Revolution members will attend local Tea Party protests and distribute leaflets and flyers. Their goal will be to "educate, activate, and recruit." The blog post encouraged readers to "plan to attend one to do your part for our race and nation!"
A throwback to last year. When the Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter switch parties, he dished some dirt on the tactics that Senate Republicans to obstruct President Barack Obama's agenda and focus on races in 2010 and 2012.
Republican Scott Brown, the new Massachusetts senator is being touted around as the future of GOP.
United States Senate Special Election: Democratic leaders are bracing for a defeat. A Republican may win a seat once held by the prominent liberal, Edward Kennedy.
Scott Brown, Republican State Senator from Massachusetts has pulled ahead in a few polls and it spells trouble for the 60-seat majority of the Democratic Party. The candidate for the Democrats, Martha Coakley, state attorney general was a sure in to win this. Unfortunately, the Republicans and the echo chamber of conservative activists, are pouring in last minute cash to make sure they defeat health care reform, a prime agenda for President Barack Obama.
Nate Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight explains that the possibility of a defeat is imminent.
Excerpts from Silver:
It should be kept in mind that a lot of Brown's support is pretty new, which would ordinarily imply that it is pretty soft. Yes, I know there's a core of people -- maybe a fairly large core -- who are really, really excited about Scott Brown. But they only get to vote once apiece. And what the earlier polling established is that it's almost certainly not 50 percent of the electorate -- it might be 35 percent or 40 percent, but it's not 50 percent. He still needs some swing voters to get him over the finish line. Some of those voters were probably tending toward Brown over the last 7-10 days, when he was winning virtually every news cycle. But the headlines in the last 72 hours -- the ones that those voters will be thinking about as they head into the ballot booth -- may be a bit more even-handed (especially given Obama's visit, etc.), and a voter who has swing once is prone to swing again.
The White House is hoping that a little boast from President Obama can help the Coakley campaign stumble to the finish line. Democratic leaders are going to need every member to get support for the health care reform.
Never a dull moment for the ever so entertaining conservative. A millionaire praising the American health system. Wonder how many others get quality health care without having million dollar contracts?
I do wish Rush Limbaugh well! Even if I find him to be a repulsive human being, Rush Limbaugh has been an influential force.
Wonder, had it been someone else, would Rush Limbaugh care?
As the new year continues, the first year of President Barack Obama has been somewhat disappointing. The support for Barack Obama is declining, and I getting the feeling that hoping for "Change We Can Believe In" will be delayed by the opposition of people who continue to live their lives like it's still the 20th Century. The Democrats and the Republicans are the main distraction to the agenda that President Obama wants to accomplish.
The first African American to be elected president was the biggest achievement in American race relations. However, being the first, all the scrutiny and the blame seems to rest on his feet. I have seen some of the worst from critics who simply oppose Obama. His policies are no different than any other president, however me thinks that once again the ugly "elephant in the room" will continue to haunt the very reason why our country is divided. And it reminds me of the continuation of the lack of intelligence from conservatives and even liberals, a political base that drove in numbers to put Barack Obama in the White House.
I must admit that we still have a long way to go before anyone can say "race isn't an issue anymore!"
Channeling my inner soul, I reflect on the 1990s when then former governor from the state of Arkansas, William Jefferson Clinton, wanted to have the same progressive agenda as his predecessor. The Republicans allied with its conservative activists and lobbyists continued to stand in the way, turn the debates into "trivial issues". Forgotten the days that President George Herbert Walker Bush created a economic recession, was slow on the draw when it came to a disastrous and costly hurricane, a race riot in one of the busiest cities in America, a war in the Middle East and government spending.
When President Clinton started, Republicans voided Bush and pressed Reagan. This same strategy continues today. Republicans and its allies stress that President Ronald Reagan handled solutions better than some "hippy loving, gun taking, tax increasing liberal elitist!" If you elect us, we promise to "take the government out of your life, bring cuts to government programs, keep your guns, religion and hold government responsible!" It worked, and the Republicans won control of Congress.
Now the same 20th Century Republicans are trying to use the same ideas to distract the public into thinking that President Obama failed and their leadership is the only way to save America.
Of course, they'll be driven on the momentum that Americans are so sick of government.
The Republicans are trying their hardest to win support of the "angry white male", "the frighten housewife", "the gun owners who fear their guns will be confiscated", "the business community who fears that environmentalists agenda" and "the Christian activists who opposes homosexuality!"
Democrats who lean conservative fear losing their seats, will either retire or switch parties.
I believe that if Republicans should gain control of Congress, they pat each other on the back and thank Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for helping them control the media and debate.
Republicans are opposed to just about half of the policies the president pressed. And this will continue into the elections. Prominent Democrats are trying to get as much done, before the tidal wave of opposition sweeps them out the Congress. The biggest fear Democrats have is the lack of interest. With unemployment at an all time high, the public sours on President Obama. The war in Afghanistan is becoming a growing opposition. A failed terrorist attack, drove the domestic agenda back to international terrorism. As the health care debate is wrapping up, the most important pieces to pass reform were stripped by the party in power. Progressives and independents who lean Democratic are fumed over policies not met by the president and Congress.
Republicans will likely win seats. However they will not capture Congress! Or could I be wrong?
