Capehart: Rudy's 'Lying'—Obama Doesn't Think Differently About America Than Reagan
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/21/2015 6:52:12 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

From a shining city on a hill and Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, to terrible deeds in the name of Christ and terrorists' legitimate grievances.

The chasm between Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama when it comes to their views of America and the world could hardly be wider. But on today's Up With Steve Kornacki, when the host asked the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart whether President Obama talks and thinks about America differently from Reagan [and Clinton and Carter], Capehart emphatically replied "No. Rudy Giuliani is lying."

Can Jonathan Capehart possibly—possibly!!—believe that Obama loves America like Reagan did? Ping to Today show list.

Mark Levin nailed it...”anybody who wants to fundamentally change America, doesn’t love it”.

The Left DESPISES Reagan and everything he stood for.

Now the MSM wants us to believe Obama (small o) is a mirror image of the Great President Reagan?

(I often wondered what it would be like to live in North Korea......I am beginning to get an idea thanks to the MSM)

I’m sure Regan would have been hugging buddies with Bill Ayers and Frank Marshall Davis if he had just gotten to know them better. /s

Judgement clouded by color support. There little this president could do that would disappoint his melanin allies.

LOL! I’d be willing to bet Mrs. Capehart’s little Jonathan isn’t a big fan of America either. I mean come on! He’s paid to say things by the Washington Post!

That’s some powerful *hit Capehart’s smoking if he believes that Obama feels the same way about America as Ronald Reagan!

The Left has an odd sense of the word "lying".

Bush said that all of our intelligence sources indicated Saddam had WMD. When (for whatever reason) the WMD were not paraded in triumph by the US military, the Left decided that Bush "Lied".

Giuliani states an opinion about Obama's feeling toward this country, and the Left says he's "lying".

You know what? I think "Citizen Kane" is the best movie ever made. But that may be a "lie".

Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.

The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

This is another missed opportunity for the RNC. They should put their gnomes to the task of comparing Reagan quotes on America to those, or the lack of those, submitted by the current president.
Instead, all hands are busy knocking the TEA folks.
