Liberals claim Romney's reference to his 'five boys' in debate racist code
The Examiner ^

According to some liberals, when Mitt Romney spoke of his "five boys" in Wednesday's debate, he really wasn't talking about his five sons. Some claimed he was engaging in racist "dog whistle" code while calling Obama a "boy," Twitchy reported Friday.

Romney was snorting cocaine off his white hankerchief, too!And why did he have a “white” hankerchief??? Calling your sons “boys” sounded paternal, not racist. Calling an adult black male a “boy” is racist because it’s an intentional sign of disrespect because of race. Romney is not a southerner, either. Plus, it’s easy to disrepect Obama because on the non-content of his non-character—without having to use “code” or without it being about race!

Romney is white. Therefore, anything he says is racist. If he’d said “my five kids,” “my five offspring,” “the five humans who shared the house with my wife and me,” it somehow would have been racist. Everything whites say, think, or do is racist. “Racist” is just another word for “white.” Once you realize that, everything makes sense.

I had some liberals tell me that “I hate Mondays,” or “Everybody hates Mondays” is racist.

Just ping me if you want an explanation.....sigh.....

“Are these the same people who told us that if you played the Beatles records backwards you would hear satanic messages?”

Speaking of such, I once played an old 78 RPM record backwards — a ghostly voice said, “I buried Paul...Whiteman”.

The day after the debate I had a long drive and turned on the “Left” talk channel on Sirius just to hear the moonbat-ery that i knew would be forthcoming. Dont know who the host was but he was saying this from day one and had lots of callers who were parroting the same thing. He kept saying “ The first african-American president” every time he referred to Zero, as if any audience ( especially his) wasn’t aware of that little fact. It was a very odd show.

This thread reminds me of when Rick Perry kept calling Herman Cain “brother” during one of the earlier debates.

Liberals claim everything is racist code. What could be more innocuous than calling your sons your boys. With liberals, it isn’t what’s said, it’s who’s saying it.

And now the words 'lazy' and 'apartment' are dog whistle racist code words.

Lazy... maybe. But "apartment?" Why, how?

The Judas Priest guy’s response to the lyric “Do it” being a command to commit suicide was, IIRC, “Do what? Mow the lawn? Make a sandwich?”

Um...black people can’t get home loans? Unless the Bills Carter and Clinton order the evil banks to, that is.
