Since Friday, the liberal media had been foaming at the mouth after President Trump made a series of comments arguing that athletes who disrespected the American flag by kneeling should be either fired or suspended. Come Sunday, two of the Big Three Networks (ABC and NBC) were eager to smear the President with claims of racism and assertions that he on the wrong side of the issue.
“And of course, all of this is playing out against the backdrop of a new ABC News/Washington Post poll showing 66 percent of Americans say that Donald Trump has done more to divide this country,” announced ABC Co-Anchor Paula Faris at the start of Good Morning America.
As the anchors handed the report off to White House Correspondent Mary Bruce, the reporter snidely remarked that “over the last 24 hours, he's added fuel to the fierce debate in the country over race, intolerance, politics, and sports.” “Now, he's again inserting himself into the debate over race in America,” she sneered.
Part way through the 10 minutes dedicated to the topic of Trump’s comments on kneeling, ABC Co-Anchor Dan Harris brought the discussion to racism. “Ryan, it's hard to ignore the racial component here. The President went on this jag on Friday night in front of a largely white audience,” he told ESPN reporter Ryan Smith, who helped push Harris’ accusation:
"Well, I think there's a lot of talk now about coded language. You think about what he said. Disrespecting “OUR” heritage. “WE,” to that largely white crowd. I think there’s a lot of folks out there and look at this and say: “What are you really trying to say here? When you talk about if somebody doesn't do what I think they should be fired. If they're speaking a point of view, peacefully protesting, they should be fired?”"
“So I think a lot of people today are responding to the idea of his coded language,” Smith added. “Not too long ago, he was respecting the opinions of others in Charlottesville that many people felt were using very divisive terms. Holding different items that were very scary for many people.”

These people are insane!
“Well, I think there’s a lot of talk now about coded language...
“So I think a lot of people today are responding to the idea of his coded language,”
Today’s classic example of insane libs off their meds....

Everything is racism with the left.
Because it works. It shames the weak minded, emboldens the faux-outraged, perpetually aggrieved race hucksters, and turns any debate into a spit flying shouting match.
It also hardens the hearts and resolve of those who will not be cowed or diminished by it.
When you call everyone who disagrees with you racist, you create that which you seek to destroy.
No thanks.
Awesome! Thats how we fight back against these hypocritical creeps, I say hypocritical because they say NOTHING about the thousands upon thousands of blacks killed by gang violence and here they break into riots and protests because a cop kills a heroin dealer.
Absurd isn’t it, you can’t talk to a “largely white audience” which btw roughly describes the American people. But I guess white people have no right to an opinion, unless it’s left wing.
No thanks. The excerpt was more than plenty.
All the way back to here:
“Liberals see conspiracy everywhere”

“Take, for instance, the assertion by many on the left that Mitt Romney is a closeted racist, making “dog whistle” comments meant to remind that President Obama is black — in case we didn’t know.”
“Whether it’s Romney’s comments about welfare or his response to Vice President Biden’s overtly racial “chains” comment, the theory goes that Romney is using “coded” language to rally his base.”
“There is glaring double standard at work here. When a Democrat makes a racist comment, it’s a gaffe. When a Republican even hints at race, it’s a dog whistle.”
“But if the conservative base is so inherently and wholly racist, then why the need for code? Romney is trying to win an election. If he knew that being a racist was going to get him the votes he needs, wouldn’t you think he’d forgo the dog whistle for something a little less subtle?”
In other words, he was speaking in front of an audience which accurately reflects the racial make-up of our country - and is getting accused of racism on account of that.
Un-freaking-believable!
The next thing you know, he'll be criticized for speaking in front of a largely cis-gendered audience.

So now America has more than one heritage?
Yes, based upon the results of the 2010 census,
the U.S.A. is 72.4% white.

These media people act like some of the dumbest f#%&S on the planet are even capable of understanding “coded language.”
ABC News/Washington Post poll. That’s all you need to know folks.
If somebody doesn’t like what somebody says and they cannot argue against it, they call that person “racist.” This is like the Soviets used to call people “counterrevolutionaries”.
We know the media already says fighting ISIs is tacit support for islamophobia but that Trump is IsIS... soon labeled as worse for naming these wife beating NFL cowarss taking kneepads for islam.
