And nothing that a backbencher from South Carolina says is going to change that.<br /><br />And Gino is right -- the charge of racism is being used in the same way the charge of Nazism is used; to shut down debate. And that is Ann Althouse's point.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-64827227765704322802009-09-16T18:44:15.428-05:002009-09-16T18:44:15.428-05:00even if say... david duke criticized the social po...even if say... david duke criticized the social policy of obama, does it negate the criticism?<br /><br />not at all.<br />facts and debate negate criticism.<br />but when you would rather take the easy way out, you scream 'racism'.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-18685671605598559712009-09-16T17:41:09.120-05:002009-09-16T17:41:09.120-05:00I was getting tired, as well, of people accusing o...I was getting tired, as well, of people accusing others of racism if they happened to criticize the President, but then I remembered how during the last administration anyone that questioned Iraq War II was accused of being unpatriotic, hating the troops, etc. Calling someone unpatriotic or racist because they criticize the president is in either case an ignorant attempt at distraction from the issues.<br /><br />Racism still exists in this country, but not in the ALL OR NOTHING way that some people complain about. Some people who criticize the president are probably racist. Not all of them, or even most of them. Some though. But (anyone) saying it isn't the case at all dangerously negates the problem of racism in our country.my name is Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484587200951022679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-68800532951321057242009-09-16T16:39:38.242-05:002009-09-16T16:39:38.242-05:00I almost fell out of my chair laughing today when ...I almost fell out of my chair laughing today when <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_091609/content/01125106.guest.html" rel="nofollow">Rush covered this</a> and referred to Jimmy Carter as "The national hemorrhoid...for which we don't have enough Preparation-H to take care of".<br /><br />Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment on multiple levels. I hope he keeps on sticking up for Obama who is also a weak, inept president that needs to be swept from office after one term.Right Hookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381659078828845900noreply@blogger.com
