I preferred to spend time with my daughter this weekend than covering the Glenn Beck rally, and really, why bother when I knew the coverage would be in the capable hands of Dave Neiwert from Crooks and Liars.
Dave showed up, camera in hand, asking folks if they agreed with Beck that President Obama hates white people. The answers are both illuminating and amusing, especially the rambling response from GOP Senate wannabe Sean Salazar. Hey, good luck challenging Sen. Patty Murray by pandering to the Beck crowd.
Anyway, if President Obama really does hate white people he would have surely hated Beck’s crowds, because as Neiwert points out, they were almost entirely white. Huh. I guess demographics don’t bode too well for the far-right base of the Republican Party.

See that is the problem, the WA GOP doesn’t have anyone who would be a credible opponent to Patty Murray. I’m glad they find some sucker every 8 years to try, but they have no chance of winning.
Roger Rabbit spews:
According to his online campaign bio, Salazar is a graduate of Palmer West Chiropractic College in San Jose, California. Although a Seattle native, he was absent from Washington from 1984 to 2004. He says he enlisted int he Navy because he “was compelled by his faith to serve his country” i.e. he’s one of those “God and country” types. Which reminds me of the character Brian Lewis in Chris Rock’s movie “Head Of State” whose campaign slogan was:
“God bless America and nowhere else!”

Sensitive delicate progressive illustrator Ted Rall is on a roll. He deposed the Bush Crime Family, and now he’s going after the big enchilada. Rall wants to depose Obama.
Time for ummm ummm ummm BarackHusseinObama to resign. Don’t know if Rall wants him waterboarded, but we do know that Obama outsources his torture, just as Clinton did. Dave Ross said so.
Also know that Club Gitmo is still taking reservations. Reports of Gitmo’s death were greatly exaggerated.

Obama Hates Polacks spews:
White teabaggers: Because we take our tea with cream?
Obama’s vendetta against Mr. Sharon Tate (the original 5-foot Pole you wouldn’t touch anybody with) has got to stop. Every other industrialized nation that matters (France) wants Big O to back off and let Roman retire in the venerated artistic senescence he deserves.
We are told by progressives to restructure our lives and to do it the French way. France takes vacations. They go home early. They get paid and paid to not work. They use health care to cure instead of to kill.
So why does one old man’s youthful indiscretion make the President of the World act like an ugly American cowboy? Maybe Obama hates white people.

HNMT’s Fr. Flotsky riff about the ribberboat in hebbin does not mean that HNMT hates black people. The Flotsky riff was a straight steal from Jewish Lenny Bruce, author of How to Talk Dirty & Influence People.

David spews:
Can we stop giving the “crazy” folks a serious forum. These folks are the “aliens anal raped me” type nuts. Don’t take them seriously, for a second. If someone REALLY believes the President hates white people, considering his only parent growing up was white, and his closest relatives are white, and he went to a mostly white school, and has a mostly white administration…how do you take their seriously? I KNOW there are folks who REALLY believe the earth is flat, or aliens routinely abduct them to conduct experiments, to the UN black helicopters are always around the horizon ready to steal their guns….but these folks are crazy. Just stop giving them attention.
40-year voter spews:
I hesitate to comment at all on a thread that’s already off-kilter, but — President Obama was raised by his white mother and his white grandparents, so how probable is it — really — that he “hates white people”?

More to the point she’d steamroller Dave Reichart, Cathy McMorris-Rogers, Rob McKenna, Reagan Dunn, or Dino Rossi too. Rob’s the only one with a snowball’s chance and that is only if he gets elected Governor and is wildly popular.

I was raised by a white mother. I loathe plenty of white people. I guess that makes me a racist. One of those self-hating race traitor types.
Last year, this fella was bad mouthing Obama, saying something derogatory about black people. I said “Obama? What do you have against white people?” That shut him up.
I have almost zero experience with racism, so don’t have much to offer. But it seems to me the problem isn’t racism per se, but prejudice and ignorance, which begets racism.
mark spews:
Teabaggers are mostly white beacuse they work hard, don’t rely on goverment for every little need. Democrats have the big free lunch program that our african american voters are attracted to. It’s the only way they can stay in power. It’s quite pathetic. Funny thing is if you think a person like Hillary Clinton, or John Kerry wouldn’t have slaves if it were still in style, you might be smoking crack. They could give a fuck. Who cares if Obama likes them, Obama only cares about himself. Besides, Kanye said Bush hated black people. Hell black people dont like black people. Ever look at the murder rate in the BIG DEMOCRAT CITIES. Its more dangerous than being in Iraq.
Jason Osgood spews:
Mark @ 15
You are so right. Thank you.
Slavery is alive a well today. Like in the Marianna Islands? That the people responsible haven’t all been brought to justice is proof that Democrats are racists.
And look what happened after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans? All those black people shooting each other. Armed groups of black vigilantes hunting defenseless white people, some just trying to walk their way out of the Ninth Ward when no one came to help.
It’s an outrage.
Michael spews:
Heh, heh, heh, we’ve got Sean Salazar on film saying that neither he or anyone “on his team” will ever say anything bad about the president or his personal beliefs. This is going to be fun.

It seems so many of these (mostly white) Beck fans are mad because Obama is after their money. One angry white guy said, “He loves my money. Hates me.”
Didn’t Obama just pass a tax cut for the middle class in the stimulus?
A lot of white people just got a tax cut. Is this hate?

They’re even stupider than I thought. Work doesn’t pay and gummint taxes the shit out of it. The real money is made by flipping assets, as any Wall Street manager or oil speculator will tell you. Only fools work.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Once again ylb arschloch doesn’t remember things too well…
We recently read in another thread how Roger Feral Dumb Bunny told us the rich Republicans get perks like the special airport treatment at Stafford County, VA. He also claimed that it’s rich Republicans who are the tea baggers because there are few minorities there.
So by the feral dumb bunny’s logic ylb arschloch, the white tea baggers DIDN’T get this “stimulus tax break”. Being a libtardo Puddy realizes you can’t add 2+2.
Puddybud is shocked SHOCKED spews:
Here is where Wall Street money is going flipping assets as you claim by Wall Street Managers.
Once again Roger Feral Dumb Bunny makes an attack comment without researching it for the political consequences. Chucky Schumer always comes through!
What a libtardo.
And this is funny too. When “the messiah” turns on a group who helped elect him, lobbyists, they come back and attack “the messiah” too.
Of course, “the messiah” says one thing and always does another. None of this “politicking” from “the messiah” stopped “the messiah” from nominating a well-known trucking industry lobbyist to head the government agency that regulates the industry.
Dumb Bunny exploding head occurs. Correctnotright head explodes over seeing four links in a comment.

I’ve met a number of Black American Patriots at Tea Party events. They have avoided Obama’s Stupid Solution (like Puddy) and have the foresight to see that Massive Deficit Spending is bad for America’s Future. That BIGGER GOVERNMENT is bad for America’s Future.
You KLOWNS call ’em Uncle Tom’s and Aunt Jemima’s.
I call ’em PATRIOTS!!
Mr. Cynical spews:
The most courageous people in America today are Black American Conservative Patriots.
They know the Progressive Movement will move lots of folks (white & black) back to the Plantation of paying for Excessive Government.
Obama’s Stupid Solution has them believing it’s only White Folks back to the Plantation.
Ultimately, the cruel joke is on them because High Taxes and Excessive Government knows no race!

Please just keep telling black people that they’re too stupid to know who they “should” vote for. That strategy has been working so well for your side for so long, I think continuing is the “right” thing to do.

Hey Daddy Love–
The Black migration from Obama has already begun!
The buyers remorse is becoming more evident every day. I can understand folks desperate for a Heaven on Earth messiah which Obama portrayed himself to be.
Obama oversold himself.
Black folks know it…and the numbers will continue to grow.
It is more the under 30 Krowd that voted 2-1 for Obama who will find out the cruel joke of massive deficit spending is on them!
By 2012, more of them will being to grasp the magnitude of Obamunism on their future.
headless spews:
re 48: “Actually, I don’t think they are stupid at all. They were conned into believing the messiah would provide them lots of free stuff and make their lives better.”
So, are you saying that black people are lazy people who want free stuff and are easily conned?
You can’t help but show your true colors, can you?
Mr. Cynical spews:

I didn’t say that they were lazy…you are projecting again you racist pig!
Obama did promise lots of free stuff, tax the rich and a better life very eloquently.
It was appealing…to Blacks & Whites alike.
Now they can see Obama is fullacrap.
As they drink Puddy’s Reality Solution, they see race isn’t the issue. It’s policy’s and actions. Obama is a failure…the Jesse Jackson of the new Millenium…just more articulate.

Holy crud, Cynical – there were plenty of stories about black Americans who were distrustful of Obama (for being too light skinned / African / critical of the NAACP) when he was running in the primary.
The fall-off is likely ultra-lib / ultra-liberation Jesse Jackson types who dislike his middle of the road / ‘sell-out’ approach.
I think it’s hilarious you’re trying to paint him as a socialist who is losing left-wing support!

How far does that get you in life? The blame

own family? I have seen families w/six or eight
kids living in housing with dirt floors, no
running water.hungry,barefooted, and go to
school without pencil and paper. They pick them selves up, took any job avaliable until
something better came along. They hitched a ride out of town and make a very good decent life for themselves….The one thing they didn’t have that you carry around is “HATE”..
Like I said before, “what good does HATE do you”?

Empty Suit Obama spews:
Indeed, Joan. Unfortunately, I think America is feeling a bit of buyer’s remorse. This is a good lesson for us to learn however, as we as a nation have been all to quick to assume a slick talking guy that seems cool and meets all the requirements of “identity politics” is actually capable of making executive decisions without having a lick of exeperience on his resume.
We, as employers, would never hire someone for an executive position that had zero experience or at the very least, a healthy dose of upper management exposure. It just doesn’t happen in the private sector and that is because it has proven to be disasterous when attempted in most cases.
3 more years to go folks. Hang on, as it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
