#1 Maybe we should go easy on Jimmy, he probably has never recovered from his traumatic experience.
But then again, some of them can be real mean

#2 Many moons ago I predicted that we'd all know when things went negative and desperate for Obama and the Dems when all criticism of his policies, no matter legitimate or reasoned, or what its motivation, was chalked up to racism.

We're there less than a year into his presidency, so that gives me some hope that the scales are tipping.

#4 These defiling comments will not end with Carter, or Sharpton, or Jackson. If Barry ever leaves the "presidency," our children and grandchildren will be assured a continued diet of this type of social justice, blame game pablum. It has become the gallows religion of desperate and dying causes.

#5 Wilson violated House rules regardless of whether Zero lied. Any time the House spends chastizing him is time they can't spend spending our money - if we keep calling Zero a liar can we keep Congress doing nothing?
It's not clear to me Zero actually 'lied' in the most legalistic definition of the word; clearly and knowingly deceptive is not quite the same thing (or I think that's what Clinton taught us.)
Wilson may be a bit racist (I don't know) though I don't think that was the motivation for his outburst, not is it the motivation for most people who oppose Zero - we oppose his politics and policies. And even those who are racist (there are some) probably ALSO oppose him on policy & political grounds.

#6 So, Glenmore, the incessant drum beat of propaganda claiming all criticism of Zero is racism has even gotten you, huh?

If not please explain why you would say "Wilson may be a bit racist (I don't know)..." .

If you don't know, why mention it at all? All that does is reinforce the true haters and liars to whom all discussion of Zero's failures is racism.

#7 Racist and antisemitic Carter calling someone a racist?

Shocking.

Hypocrite. Lier. Worst President Ever (until Bambi).

#9 Remember that this calling of conservatives and Republicans "racists" is an orchestrated push. Just in the past week, seemingly out of the blue, dozens now "commentators" have all asserted "racism".

Just a cynical political ploy. Someone pulled the little puppets' strings.

#10 To paraphrase Warhol, everybody will be racist for 15 minutes.

This is stupid now; it rises to amusing as it is applied to Obama supporters (see yesterday's article on Valerie Jarret, wherein white staffers are told "they don't get it").

The big problem for Democrats is that only their hardcore base takes it seriously. The only people who can be hurt are "moderate" Democrats who are stuck between doing what their constituents want and an increasingly out of touch and strident leadership.

#11 Wilson may be a bit racist (I don't know)

This is the stuff that urks me. I sure hope it was a slip on Glenmore's part. Throwing doubt with an exit plan. We are better than this here at the burg.

You could be right, Anonymoose.
This link is to a vomit inducing piece of pabulum from that Canadian hack journalist Naomi Klein.

#13 What I was intending to convey was that the political/policy opposition is valid regardless of whether the opponent is racist or not. And that except in flagrant cases (like David Duke) we really can't tell if someone is racist. Wilson has been widely ACCUSED of racism but neither his 'outburst' nor anything else we have been made aware of constitutes proof of racism (or even a reasonable suggestion of it.)

#14 Glenmore, please do not sully the name of David Duke. We'll probably be apolgizing to him when this thing is finally put to rest.

#15 For me Obama's race is a red herring.
His father left when Barack was a toddler and he saw him only twice growing up.

Barack is actually a perfect example of a "red diaper baby". His mother was a committed Marxist since high school who rejected Western civilization. His major political mentors are SDSers and Communists.

He is no different than the thousands of (white) "radical chic" fools who surround Nancy Pelosi.

#18 I oppose Obama as much as I have Paulson, Geithner, Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Franken, & Carter, ad nauseum, and they were all white last time I looked. Carter's book is also on Binny's recommended reading list.

#19 It's a good job Obama never did anything racist like attending a racist church.

If Miss Lillian were still alive, she'd slap you silly. (Which admittedly would only take a light breeze passing in the vicinity....)
