See, it's not enough that Mitt Romney and his filthy minions marginalize the President by turning him into an angry black foreigner through idiotic jokes, heh-heh. No, they have to turn one of the coolest, mellowest men of any race and transform him into the vicious, rage-filled child of Malcolm X and Frantz Fanon. They have to go after his likability, his perceived strength, as Rove would want, and make us look at Barack Obama and only see the seething native, waiting to spear the poor, misunderstood colonizers and take their money to give to the rest of the Hottentots.
But they need to go further. It's not enough to make it seem like Democrats follow a cannibal bastard. Instead, the strategy has become to make simply being a Democrat associated with the dirty, poverty, hands-out part of humanity. The niggers, if you will. Romney told USA Today (motto: "Every once in a while, news gets in here" , regarding the waivers on welfare reform, that the President was just trying to "shore up his base" by, in essence, sending the word that the niggers won't have to work for that welfare check and can keep stealing from the rest of us. Even if the truth is the exact opposite, Romney keeps repeating it and flogging that lie like it's a ... well, you know.
With recent polls showing that the GOP couldn't get a black vote even if Romney took Rihanna as a sister-wife and the Hispanic vote limited mostly to a few Cuban-Americans, apparently they've more or less said, "Oh, fuck it" and not only played the race card but an entire race hand. That's the game now. How many whites, especially white males, feel so uncomfortable in a room with non-whites that they would vote for whatever white guys are running against Obama?

(21,925 posts)How can Romney be so close in this election? Virtually every black person supports Obama. An overwhelming number of Hispanics support Obama. Most women support Obama. Most gay people if not virtually all gay people, who are perhaps 10% of the population, are for Obama. If Romney is almost pulling even, it can only mean that he's getting almost all the straight white male vote. How could it be otherwise? The GOP is not only promoting the N********tion of the Democratic Party but they are re-segregating the American electorate. This is the most divisive political campaign I have ever seen.

It says "Don't re-nig in 2012."

(10,893 posts)Folks should really read it first before wasting their time alerting this post.
But on to my point...these last four years all the wingnuts have been accusing that dude of things that he didn't even do. For example, there's the BS about his "out of control spending", but if you look it up, data shows that he has spent LESS than every president since Eisenhower (yes, even Reagan).
And there's the part about him "taking away our freedom." Now exactly which freedoms has he taken away? The wingnuts still have their assault rifles to commit mass murders with, they can still be racist and homophobic on Internet message boards and not get reprimanded, and Obama never "enslaved White people" like how the Teabillies claimed he would a few years ago.
I usually am not one to play the race card, but I will say the G0Pee has shown what time it is when it comes to what they think about us and having an AA Democrat in the Oval Office. In fact, I don't think Bill Clinton experienced this level of hostility when he was president.

(46,436 posts)it reminds me of how some black comics, rappers, etc., use the N word and it's much more acceptable than when a white person does the same. It's ok for Obama to make jokes about the "birther" thing because it's personal to him. Romney doesn't have that same right.

(19,240 posts)and in the arts at a percentage higher than their percentage of the total US population. Other minorities like Asian and Latino are underrepresented. What does that tell us? America as a whole admires African-American culture. Sure, there are a few pockets of extreme racial bigotry. But for the most part, African-Americans represent an ideal in this country, a lot like apple pie and grandma.

(19,240 posts)caught the Republicans mouthing the N-word while pretending not to say it (for fear of alarming the soccer moms).
Right now, all across America, soccer moms are having second thoughts about voting GOP. Go, soccer moms!
