Obama Backers Use Race as Alibi for Ebbing Support

Expect to see much more of this as the election nears.

I’m thinking this crap will now backfire on the Obama team. People are sick to death of Blacks and Liberals (like Chris Matthews) pulling the Race Card. I say it will backfire on them. Whaddya think?

[2ndDivisionVet]

If it didn’t work, would they have been using it since Reconstruction? There’s a whole industry dedicated to not much more than this. See: Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson Junior, Marcus Garvey, Louis Farakhan, Jeremiah Wright, Ben Crump, etc., etc...

[SaraJohnson]

It’s going to backfire on the Left. It makes Obama look like a weak loser. There are only about twenty percent of voters who eat leftist race bait. The closer they get to the election, if he is behind to a degree they can not overcome with voter fraud, they will totally melt down into spit.

[pistolpackinpapa]

But, the only people who give any credence to those clowns are Blacks and white Race baiters who are already in the Democrat’s corner.

If that were only true. Do you work for a corporation, government agency, non-profit or other similar organization? Go to your Facebook, Twitter or other social media site and post something that can even remotely be construed as racist, homophobic, sexist or against Islam. See how long it takes for you to get fired.

[Happy Rain]

Don't you think it better to use race as an excuse for Obama’s incredibly maladroit performance instead of his being sick stupid and wrong?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is that what you got from my comments? Really?

But, it’s not people like you and me committing acts of Racism or any other act of bigotry. Your average American is not committing acts of Racism. It’s just in the minds of the Race baiters. That’s why it’s gonna backfire. Sure if you went on facebook and used the “N” word or discriminated against a Hispanic or Black in the workplace; you’d be in deep doo doo. But, you’re comparing apples and oranges. I’m telling you, it will backfire because they (the clowns you named in your Post #3) are accusing White Americans of being Racist when they’re NOT!!! Bust me for something I did; I’ll suffer the consequences in silence. Accuse me of something I didn’t do, we’re gonna fight. People like Al Sharpton, Louie Farrakhan and Chris Matthews are gonna keep running their mouths until they plunge this nation into an all-out Race War. And it will NOT be pretty.

I’m totally rtacist.. I hate liberals, progressives, socialist and communist.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

The can use all the race cards they want, but the fact is Obama ain't black so their argument is moot. Like Obama, actor Wentworth Miller had a black father and a white mother. Is he "black" as well?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs…

There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Soetoro is a loser, period. He sucks no matter what race the race baiters claim he is.

[Happy Rain]

Nope. just commenting on the headline.

"Don't you think it better to use race as an excuse for Obama’s incredibly maladroit performance instead of his being sick stupid and wrong? "

I think what she means here is, Oblunder can't run on his record, what else is left?

Stack the deck with the race card.

[Timber Rattler]

So the same people who put Obama into office in 2008 are now racists because they've had their eyes opened about his policies?

Got it.

[DeaconRed]

"Expect to see much more of this as the election nears."

But of course. . . . (007's famous line)
He has no record to run on.
Well he does have a record - - - - - - a very BAD record. . .

[Happy Rain]

You got it...

in fact a good counter would be for Republicans to play the race card too.

“So you liberals say the reason we Conservatives point out that Obama is the worse president since Woodrow Wilson is because he's BLACK? Why you racists!—being incompetent is colorblind you Jim Crow bigots!”

[biggredd1]

how much of that 53% was fraudulent/acorn? The only thing soetoro has left is the race card, but the fast & furious has placed him in the criminal card category. The next few weeks will expose even more of the commie fraud with 1] sheriff arpaio conference mid-july 2] professor kengor book early july 3] the dick holder in contempt of congress this week 4]supremes tell soetoro to bend over with verdict on commiecare and arizona, etc etc.

It was race that got him elected so it is right that race takes him out.

Blacks were racist in their 90+% vote. Whites were “non-racist” in voting for him because he was black. (Which makes their choice racist.) Both accomplished the same thing. A lazy child who did not like the whole premise behind the USA became president because he was black.

Correcting that error is not racist. I would not vote for him not matter what race, sex, or creed he was.
