Team Obama Uses "Racism" Claim To Intimidate (You Can't Spell "Hate" Without T, E and A)

Boston Herald ^ | March 25, 2010 | Michael Graham

[suspects]

You can’t spell “hate” without “T,” “E” and “A.”

This has been the media meme on the Tea Party movement from the beginning. Since the day of Rick Santelli’s cable-TV rant in support of capitalism, the default assumption of the left has been that Americans who show up to protest the Obama administration are all just one pillow case and pair of scissors away from joining the Klan.

If it were merely poor reporting, that would be bad enough. But the cry of racism is being used against these concerned citizens, not because it’s true, but because it’s an effective way to intimidate and marginalize President Barack Obama’s political opponents.

The more time Obamacare defenders spend shouting “bigot,” the less time they have to spend trying to explain the unworkable math of their new bureaucratic boondoggle.

Which is why the O-bots of MSNBC have made a cottage industry out of stereotyping protesters as, to quote one of the network’s frequent guests, Janeane Garofalo, “white supremacists” and “teabagging rednecks.” And the media’s current obsession with allegations - most uncorroborated - that an idiot or two shouted a racial slur during last weekend’s protests of the Obamacare vote is straight from their playbook.

Is it possible that among the tens of thousands of protesters, someone did something stupid and offensive? Of course. What does that prove about the 60 percent of all Americans who share the Tea Partiers’ opposition to Obamacare?

If every Obamacare opponent is going to be held responsible for the ignorant rantings of a single lunatic, does that mean Obama supporters are responsible for Keith Olbermann?

Liberal elites angered by the mere existence of the Tea Party movement...

My p[roblem is that: I am not sure Obama is incompetent.

I believe he is very competent.

He is getting the job done. He just got the United States House of Representatives and The Senate to help him destroy us. Is that incompetence? If he wishes to destroy America , he is doing a great job, and I believe that is his goal.

Now he wants to give away our nuclear umbrella, give amnesty to illegals, refuse to drill our own oil, make us subservient to the UN, take away our arms, cater to Palestine, drop Israel, place a cap on our energy sources, and he is getting it done.

Where is the incompetence?

Nice interview this morning on WMAL this morning, Michael. We miss you and hope to have you back someday.

Instead of using the “normal” cuss words, I’ve now switched to “biden” or “pelosi” when I swear. It’s certainly more descriptive and loathsome than any of the old words

[cookiedough]

I agree.

[Lee'sGhost]

Perfect!

I was thinking, You can’t spell “America the Beautiful” without T-E-A.

Or “Don’t tread on me”

[Texas resident]

obama=evil
biden=incompetant
All the others are various combinations of those traits.

[MrB]

They’ll stop doing it when it stops “working”.

We’ve trained them to have the race on a hair trigger
by allowing the accusation of racism to make us back down

from our ideological position.

Since the day of Rick Santelli’s cable-TV rant in support of capitalism, the default assumption of the left has been that Americans who show up to protest the Obama administration are all just one pillow case and pair of scissors away from joining the Klan.

And yet the Klan is the current President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate...in the line of succession for the presidency.

[Christian4Bush]

...and now a days,you can’t say Biden without saying F******

That word accompanies much of the experience of listening to these jerks.

I'm thoroughly convinced that the mute button on a tv or radio was invented for when democrats are in power.

[Christian4Bush]

I think all this crap is an organized effort by the left to discredit us. I don't think they are as foolish as we would like them to be. A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step, and they have been on that path for decades now refining their approach.

"Crazy, not stupid." /"Speed

[Christian4Bush]

You can’t spell “liberal” without L, I, and E.

Or "libel"

[highlander_UW]

...Americans who show up to protest the Obama administration are all just one pillow case and pair of scissors away from joining the Klan.

But why would conservatives want to join a democrat party founded organization?

[JimRed]

Instead of using the “normal” cuss words, I’ve now switched to “biden” or “pelosi”...

As in "I'll beat the Pelosi out of him"?

[Arrowhead1952]

The last four letters of American are: I CAN

The last four letters of Republican are: I CAN

The last four letters of democrats are: RATS

[TypeZoNegative]

You can’t spell “Victory Parade” without T-E-A either.

[TypeZoNegative]

I wish Obama would go Pelosi himself.

[freeangel]

LOL—me too!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

You can’t spell HATE without A-T-E.
Obama ate us for dinner and pooped us out.

[driftless2]

I find it continually amusing the bewilderment of Big Media about the motives of the Tea Party activists. “What do they want?” these morons ask each other. The answer is a smaller, constitutionally-minded government, but that response seems to perplex the presstitutes and the fraudcasters. Why, they must be all racists who hate a black president they nod to themselves over the fumes of the crack pipe. They, like Thomas (What’s The Matter With Kansas?) Frank simply can’t understand why average citizens don’t want a leviathan-nanny state.
