Obama joins Twitter. Racism quickly follows.
The Washington Post's Post Partisan ^ | May 19, 2015 | Jonathan Capehart

There are moments when I come thisclose to quitting Twitter. The amount of hatred squeezed into 140 characters or less by lunatics usually cloaked in anonymity is enough to make you question your support for the First Amendment and your faith in the decency of other people. To the uninitiated, the torrent of bigotry can leave you feeling violated. Even the most seasoned, battle-scarred, seen-it-all, can’t-nuthin’-shock-me individual will be left O-o by the filth in his or her Twitter feed.

A story I just read by David Badash at thenewcivilrightsmovement.com about the welcome President Obama got upon joining Twitter left me slack-jawed.

'Hello N*****': Conservatives Welcome President Obama To Twitter http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/_hello_n_gger_conservatives_welcome_president_obama_to_twitter?recruiter_id=2 … #DEM #GOP #tlot

Badash gives a hat-tip to ifyouonlynews.com for its original story. But he notes that it took just 10 minutes to start baptizing the leader of the free world in Twitter’s racist sewer....

Slightly off topic...

Anyone here shop at Urban Outfitters?

I've never been in one, but I always assumed it sold edgy hip-hop clothing to white kids who want to dress like Aframs.

Anyway, the company reported quarterly earnings today, had a huge miss, and the stock crashed 17%.

My first thought - after Ferguson and Baltimore, maybe playing urban dress-up has lost some of its allure?

$20 says Obama's puppeteers organized the racist reception

That was my thought, too.

I’ll bet that 90% of the people who post racist and homophobic Twitter messages are Internet Trolls or Hard Left provocateurs.

Since the 'RAT party is the home of the Ku Klux Klan, those posts are coming from their leftwing colleagues. The reality, of course, is that hussein's seething racism exceeds even that of Woody Wilson, a fellow 'RAT.

that should be easy enough to figure out. how long have the accounts responding to him been posting on twitter?

sure it could be the long con, but I have no doubt there are many many racists on twitter. I grew up with more racists than I care to think of now, and like the president or don’t like the president (I’m not a fan at all), going to the level that was posted on his thread doesn’t help the case against him at all.

It would not surprise me if that Twitter account weren’t created expressly for the purpose of putting up phony racist tweets and attributing them to conservatives. C’mon, NO ONE would say “Hey n-——r CONSERVATIVES welcome you to Twitter.” Except lying liberals...

My mistake. That quote was not a tweet but a quote by David Balderdash.

Here is the POS who wrote that screed...

If it wasn't for racism, he'd have nothing to write about

The question is WHY does Obama, potus and CinC, feel the need for twitter? It’s not as if he can’t get any of his messages through.

The White House Social Media director and their staff have hundreds, if not thousands, of Twits who daily Tweet all the BS that gets handed to them. They all come out with the exact same thoughts, with similar wording, simultaneously and every time we're supposed to think its all "grass roots" reactions and opinions. It's such a farce... and waste of our money.

“Maybe he’ll tweet to ISIS that we’re going to begin dropping water balloons on them within the hour.”

Nope, Ramadan is approaching. For 0b0z0, tweeting is the code word for greeting.

Giving myself credit - I created the “That’s racist!” graphic about 7 years ago. I put the yelling kid in the Obama logo.
