Tell me AGAIN how people aren't using false accusations of racism against EVERYONE who dares to voice dissent against Obama's ACTIONS: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/15/congressman-people-don-white-hoods-wilson-rebuked/?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a16:g12:r2:c0.376450:b27743136:z0 Making an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example. and then there's THIS from former president Jimmy Carter who believed ANY disagreement with Obama's ACTIONS MUST be racist: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/16/carter-racism-claim-draws-widespread-criticism/ "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African American," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way and I've seen the rest of the country that shared the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time ... and I think it's bubbled up to the surface, because of a belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country." Here's something I posted on my facebook last week, I think it applies here as well: [b] Newsflash for all those on the damned Obamaberry Koolaid: People are NOT racist simply for disagreeing with Obama. Just because we dare to voice our very legitimate concerns about the VERY questionable acts of your "dear leader" does not make us freaking "astroturf" or "Nazis" or "sore losers". If you choose to think that of me then you are welcome to delete me off your friend list, kiss my asss and go to hell.[/b] You can kiss my asss and go to hell too Jimmy Carter and Hank Johnson! Was it RACIST 30 years ago when people voiced disgust at Carter's bumbling ineptitude and bad policies? Was it RACIST when people disagreed with George W. Bush, which people did LOUDLY for eight years? Was it RACIST when people disagreed with Bill Clinton? Why should Obama be given a free pass and not be held accountable for HIS OWN actions and words the way every other president in the history of the United States has been? If you ask me, I say NOT holding him to the same standard as EVERY other President has been held to because of his ethnicity WOULD BE RACIST!

The race card always grabs headlines and heaven only knows how desperate most politicians are for the limelight.......even old Presidents! lol But that doesn't make it right. To claim racism in people who simply exercise freedom of speech is a form of racism in itself. So they shouldn't throw stones at glass houses!

This isn't just a picture, it's a growing trend and scary as hell. The U.S. has come so far in race relations, and this kind of 'spotlight' turned on again simply because your President is not 'free, white and over 21', is counter productive and severely damaging. So continue to speak long and loud on this Kitty. SOMEONE has too!

It's gotten beyond ridiculous and needs to stop, but it won't. He's an inept president who is well on his way to passing up Carter as worst president ever. Has nothing to do with him being a black man. I want to be your friend on facebook!!! Nobody likes me there. Actually, I'm just really bad at sending out friend requests. I'll pm ya.

Dana was there. Even people who didn't join in sent me messages about how much they enjoyed reading it. LOL

These two outspoken politicians from Georgia are probably charter members of the KKK themselves! In the wise words of my Aunt Laura, "He who smelt it, dealt it!"

hi angrykittymsv I may not always agree with you, but I do certainly respect your ideas and anything that smacks of racism is ugly to me. Yes we should always hold our current president accountable for his actions just as we always have for any president. thats the only way a democracy can work. HOw are you feeling now, better? Last time I heard you were still in some pain from that painful medical procedure, hope this finds you feeling a lot better. take care. God Bless you.

Thank you Hatley, I'm still quite sore but feeling better than yesterday for sure. LOL I am glad to have your support on this issue, ALL presidents must be held accountable for their actions, to not do it for THIS one for fear of being called racist WOULD BE RACIST in and of itself.

They are using it because it intimidates people. I mean really who wants to be called or labeled a racist? No one. SO therefore they using it as a way to control people actions. They could care less if you agree with Obama or this congress. But they don't want you to speak out about it. SO therefore anytime anyone does it will be called "racist". It is the only weapon they have so they are going to use the heck out of it. THey want to discredit anyone who speaks out against this administration and are trying to do it by labeling them "racist". Meaning they are horrible peole not worth listening to. WHy? Because htey don't want more people joining the protests. We will have to wait and see if it works. Yes Wilson was wrong. Yes it was disrepectful. yes he should have gotten into trouble for it. But was it "racist"? No. If Hilary would have won than they would have said any protests or anyone publicly disagreeing with her was just doing it because she was a woman. ANy excuse they can come up to keep people from listening to them. Bush used it when his camp called the protesters against him "un american". Who wants to be labeled unamerican? No one. Every president and elected official needs to help accountable. Every elected offical needs to be questioned on their actions. Every person of this country has right to stand up for their beliefs. Every person has right to protest. But our elected officials don't want us to. They want us to sit back, shut up and go along for the ride. No they don't want to held accountable. No they don't want us questioning them.No they don't want us the public telling them waht to do. They want to be the ones tell us what to do. They think we are the "public servants". Meaning the general public are their servants. Not that htey are the public servants. So therefore they are trying their hardest to discredit anyone who does. They only want good little sheep who do what they are told.

Maybe tend to hate Mr.President because of his doings which is really wrong the health care bill is full of ****, that's why many republicans hate him and some democrats hat him as well, this is just the significance he isn't fitted for the job, it's not about his race whether his black or white or brown, it's about the things he do when his doing his job, i should say the people voted made a mistake since McCain is really fitted for the job and McCain has a lot of experiences compared to Mr.President, obama didn't even made his own bill when his in the senate, right? So maybe that's the reason why people tend to hate him now whether it's black or white.

This is one of the stupidest things the liberals have done (and believe me, they've done a lot of stupid things). They're trying to tear this country apart, and if one way won't work, they'll go at it a different way. Once there are riots in the streets, they'll send in troops and squelch the general populace. Far fetched? Watch.

It is disgusting that Obama got as far as he got because many are afraid to disagree with him because if they did, they would be called racists. His policies are going to drive Americans bankrupt and turn it into a third rate nation. he is already throwing good money after bad, does not want Americans to defend their own homes, is the worse president and he may not be legal and yet he is getting away with things that not even the former Democrats could and they got more leeway then the Republican presidents. America has to stop being blackmailed into agreeing to what Obama wants or it will regret it.

You've noticed how they don't extend the same kid glove treatment to Michael Steele or Clarence Thomas or other conservative African Americans, right? It's hypocrisy, and it's disgusting, and it has no place in this country. I'm looking forward to the coming elections; we might just be able to throw some of these bums--both Democrat and Republican--out of office and start fresh with some new people.

The race card race card is being played, and that's funny and sad. They play it because they don't have anything else to play. Yet, when we say something bad about what he's done, we are told he hasn't been in office that long. WAKE UP!!! He's been in office long enough to bankrupt this country and make us the laughingstock of the world....so he's been in office long enough to be held accountable.
