Shrum: Racist To Say Obama's Never Done a Hard Thing
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/28/2008 3:25:09 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Bob Shrum has made an addition to the ever-growing list of things you can't utter about Obama, because it's racist: don't you dare say Obama's never done anything hard.

The veteran Dem strategist issued his diktat while debating Ed Rogers, former aide to Pres. Bush 41, on today's Hardball. Shrum seized on and distorted Rogers' statement, manifestly made in the politcal sense, that Obama had "never done one hard thing," to play the race card.

Ah, Shrum. If he thinks Obama’s got this, then it’s going to be a rout by McCain next week.

The next person who tells me that any criticism of Obama is ‘racist’ is going to lose some teeth. I’m sick to f***ing death of this BS!

It woulda had more impact if it was said by Larry Sinclair.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, “Is he ready?”

You said, “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the- job-training.”

BIDEN: I think that — I stand by the statement.”

...You can’t make this stuff up...

I saw this...For anyone to suggest that there have been zero race problems in the North is a fool. Most of my black friends say they are treated better in the South.

Then everyone can call me racist because Obama has NEVER made a hard decision on a vote in his life in the IL Senate or the US Senate. He voted Present in the IL Senate and is absent in the US Senate.

The more they call us racist, the bigger the vote margin is going to be for McCain. Kind of like that “I am not gonna take it anymore!”

If a person is going to be called a racist for daring to say anything against Obama, then might as well go all the way and vote McCain/Palin and shove it in their face.

He’s never done a hard thing or held a job for four years.

There I said it. Now what?

Not only has Hussein never done a hard thing...

He hasn’t done a DAMMED thing. What has this joke of a “man” accomplished? He beat a Clinton in an election I guess...

Shrum is disgusting. WTH was he doing playing the “race card” there??? It was obvious in the context that the issue was whether Obama had ever achieved and big political/legislative triumph (NO), any great reconciliation of opposed interests (NO), etc. The point was not whether Obambi had ever faced any difficulty in his life (though that’s debateable) but whether he has ever provided evidence that he can reconcile competing interests etc. to achieve passage of a major bill or accomplish something politically, administratively etc. that people thought could not be done.

The answer, obviously, is NO, Obama has never done anything like that in his life.

To make a statement about that into a “race” issue is simply loathsome.

Shrum is a leftist idiot. Another stupid Obama enabler. A person who believes socialism will really work this time, despite all evidence to the contrary.
