NPR Admits Opposition To Obama May Not Be Due To Racism But Because He’s Terrible

We’ve been told over and over that opposing President Obama’s socialist anti-American agenda is due to deep-seated racism and not any conservative values one might hold. Now, the National Public Radio (NPR), of all media outlets, has posted a piece on their blog saying that there might be something more to disliking Obama than just racism. I know, I’m shocked too.

This refreshing revelation from a decidedly left-leaning news source starts out with a great premise:

There’s no question we’re living in a time of divisive politics, when roughly half the country is likely to hate the president, no matter whom he or she might be.

And back it up with a good quote:

“If any white Democrat had pushed through a billion-dollar stimulus plan and a takeover of the health care industry, he would have been equally detested by conservatives and Republicans,” says Whit Ayres, a GOP pollster and consultant.

These people have had over five years to cover this administration with critical thinking. They’ve been in a coma at the wheel.

Why can’t it be because of his race.? A more anti-white president there has never been.

National Propaganda Radio needs to be defunded as soon as we are back in control of both houses. Libs like it, let libs pay the freight.

Yeah, they are about to switch over to a more pragmatic Marxist in a pantsuit.

To paraphrase Ted Kennedy, it will be different when we are in charge. The right commie is always right around the corner.

Obama is half (1/2) White. My kids are half white and half Korean. Maybe it is because Obama hates the half white part of himself (evidenced by his grandmother during his initial campaign) that makes his blackened heart and other half charred thru and thru....

I have just as much disdain for Pelosi and Reid as I do for Obama. And religion doesn’t have anything to do with it either. It’s a Catholic, a Mormon and a Muslim.

Boortz had a black caller once who said he didn’t like Obama because Obama was black. Boortz replied, “Frankly, I don’t like the white half of him either.”

If any white Democrat had pushed through a billion-dollar stimulus plan and a takeover of the health care industry

I believe the stimulus was closer to a trillion dollars.

If Obama was not a black man we would not even know his name.

“...opposing President Obama’s socialist anti-American agenda is due to deep-seated racism ...”

This story doesn’t make much sense.

Why would blacks be opposed to a black president?
