A Politico reporter has suggested that racism was behind Neil Munro's questioning of President Obama at the White House yesterday. Saying "it's very, very difficult to place race outside of this context," the Politico's Joe Williams claimed racially-motivated direspect of PBO is part of a pattern among conservatives, citing Rep. Joe Wilson, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and the Tea Party.

Oh, brother. Joe Williams is the REAL racist here. People who see racism everywhere are, by definition, racists.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Politico “reporter” plays the race card. Ping to Today show list.

[txrefugee]

Another Affirmative Action hire heard from. They stick together.

[windsorknot]

If you are a racist, racism explains everything.

[jimbo123]

Seems like the liberals have forgotten about Sam Donaldson.

[tcrlaf]

If you DARE to question THE MESSIAH, or make him look bad in any way, YOU MUST BE A RACIST!!

If you question his questionable past in any way, YOU MUST BE INSANE!

I know it was a LONG time back, but when did we cede control of the language to the Radical Democrats?

[Sarah Barracuda]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww the race card, when all else fails..funny how the media didnt make a fuss when the Rats in Congress all BOOED Bush in 2005 I guess when its done to a Republican its all good

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Racist?

It was obviously “homophobia”!

[Norm Lenhart]

I sooooo hope they keep this up. I talk with more and more people, of ALL colors all the time that are discovering how asinine this is. One of the things I’ve heard most is some variation of “What’s wrong with these people?”

It’s really a thing of beauty. In their quest to brand anyone disagreeing/questioning the Dems/Obama as racist, they are alienating their target audience and opening their minds to what the right has said for years.

And yes, this includes black people. The blowback is going to be epic.

[moovova]

Never saw that coming.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Sorry, I meant “islamophobia”.

[LRS]

Once the word “racism” was redefined by the Marxists, this kind of crap was inevitable...

[Jeff Vader]

somehow I knew this guy would be black.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Racism? That’s soooooooooooo Twentieth Century.. borrrrring. Get some up-to-date technology, man!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

“If you are against Obama, you are a Racist.” Better get used to that as you are going to be hearing it a lot between now and November. If Obama loses the election you are going to hear a lot more of that in the post election analysis. Just get used to it you “RACISTS”!

[ronnie raygun]

The biggest racists are the men and women of color, the word racist brings untold power and riches.

[real saxophonist]

"it's very, very difficult FOR ME to place race outside of this context,"

There, fixed it.

[yldstrk]

what a joke

[freekitty]

This is getting so boring. Racism is everything to these jokers.

[Coldwater Creek]

Actually, he could have just as easily just have been a no color liberal!

[samtheman]

People who see racism everywhere are, by definition, racists.

It was funny when Woody Allen did it. Jew eat?

It's pathetic when Joe Williams does it.

[Edgar3]

I don’t even think about racism. It’s MARXISM that I’m worried about.

[Haiku Guy]

You can disagree with his policies, but you must always respect the Office of the Preezie of the United Steezie.

[baddog 219]

[Old Retired Army Guy]

We need to start a betting pool. If Obama loses the election, how long do you think it will take Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and the anchors at MSNBC to say it was all about Racism?

[Truth29]

"Sorry, I meant “islamophobia”."

Are you sure? It could be both. There are so many phobias, including Obama Marxist hate America phobia.

[baddog 219]

[avacado]

Let them say whatever they want. Obama is going to lose in November and no race card will help him.

[Doc Savage]

This prick would say that once, then he’d be spitting teeth and blood! Politico. Where communists and racists hide out in their mother’s basements in their pee stained underwear planning their next stupid comment!

[Free America52]

Please Lord, forgive them for what they are doing because they have no idea how much of a hornets nest they are stirring up.

[Iron Munro]

Everyone knows most reporters hate skinny, arrogant mulattos.

/sarcasm

[jersey117]

Mr. Munro is a courageous hero in my book. Someone needed to cut that arrogant POS down to size. How dare a reporter ask him a valid question.

[Leo58]

I have tried to find a contact for Neil Munro with no success. I would love to flood this guy with emails thanking him for being a patriot.

[arkady_renko]

Just another pointy headed liberal.

Literally pointy headed.

[Jaidyn]

Why would we expect more coming from a racist, himself? How does he explain the popularity of Col. Allen West or Herman Cain? Colin Powell held the same respect, until he came out of the closet as a liberal.

[carriage_hill]

I was thinking the very same thing before I clicked to come into the thread from the index page.

[a fool in paradise]

Who needs legislators and a Constitution when the boy King Obama can dictate Executive Orders to change what it means to be “an American”?

If you don’t register for the draft as a yute, do you still get government bennies?

[PapaBear3625]

Go ahead Mr Williams. Yank that cord some more. You might notice it's getting old and frayed, so if you yank it much more, it's going to finally snap off, and then what are you going to do?

I, for one, no longer care if somebody calls me racist, sexist, homophobic, or whatever.

[a fool in paradise]

Was it racist when a Code Pinko protester interrupted John McCain’s acceptance speech at the GOP convention in 2008?

[F15Eagle]

Ah, Politico. The Obama campaign arm disguised as “objective” - well, except that their agenda is quite clear and obvious.

[sten]

wait.. wait...

a black guy suggests a white guy must be racist for essentially saying ‘wtf?!’ to his semi-black president when he bypasses congress and starts uttering blatantly unConstitutional statements?

color me shocked

and who gives a rats ass. get over it. racism is dead. we’ve moved on to full blown outrage against commies, progressives, and all big govt mooching asshats

of which, 0blam-0 is their leader

[avacado]

Hey Joe! WTF is this you race baiting piece of crap!

[avacado]

Hey Joe! Get back on your liberal welfare plantation where the human spirit goes to die!

[ConradofMontferrat]

[avacado]

Hey Joe! How many blacks killed other blacks today! GTFO of here you piece of garbage! Your ideology and pathetic race card are toast in November.

[sauropod]

Michael Eric Dyson is a racist bigot.

I’ve been watching him spout his hate for years.

He’s simply a more erudite version of Malik Zulu Shabazz.

[Cheerio]

Anyone that dare question the Dear Reader has to be a racist, since he is 1/2 white, 5/6 Arab and 1/6 black. /sarc

[Sirius Lee]

Why doesn’t the Won just answer the f@#$ng question?

[chris37]

No, Obama’s dictatorial immigration policy is racist because it disproportionally favors hispanics.

The president is a racist.
