TIME MAG- Racism is Fun? Why Rick Perry's flirtation with birtherism is racist

“”correct way to remind people Obama’s Black””

That’s funny! HE’S NOT BLACK!

[MestaMachine]

This dude look gayer than a three dollar bill. This is the same idiot that said female slaves seduced their ‘massas’ to RAPE them to gain their freedom...even though it ‘didn’t always work’.

[AZFolks]

If only common sense came as an IV these folks could be helped. Till then, lets just answer them and laugh.

In a country where lynchings once doubled an occasion for barbeques — the strangling and perhaps burning of a Black body as the central performance act at a pleasant Southern picnic

And how many slave ancestors does Barack Hussein Obama have?

ZERO

How Orwellian! A faked Birth Certificate is Racism? I would not have thought twice about Obama’s legimitacy until he put up two different faked certificates.

Absolutamento. We do not know where 0bama was born. We do know that his father was a British/Kenyan citizen and his mother was not old enough to confer her US citizenship upon Obama. 0bmama's accomplishments are unimpressive and dubious at best. All his records are secreted. He has no bona fides. Herman Cain is a true American of African origin, and proud of it, with 'Roots' going back centuries in American history. He worked his way out of poverty and has a record of academic success, proven success in management and success in economics. There are no shadowy secrets in his past. His attitude is open and positive. I will vote and vote Republican, and I would/will be proud to vote for him.

This is how liberals think, without having to think. Always begin with a false presupposition, and illogically progress from that. In the case of Obama’s eligibility, liberals begin with the presupposition that his eligibility and citizenship are questioned because he is black. This is ignorance, on the part of those who believe it, and subterfuge on the part of those who use it to dissuade people from scrutinizing Obama’s scam, but as liberal logic goes, it is enlightenment. ...Go ahead and poke fun at Obama and liberal kooks. It’s the truthful thing to do.

The more the american people learn about obama’s socialist/commie agenda for this country the more his pole numbers go right in the tank. You socialist frauds in the MSM have no answer for this decline, so out comes the race card. We are not only going to vote obama’s commie rear end out of office in 2012 we are going to vote all the white socialist frauds out as well. Cause, something is happening that you don’t really understand, do you Mr. Jones.

"...From now on, I don’t even care if people think I’m racist...".

Have you posted this on FR before? Because I've read it once before and it stuck with me. If you're the one, I read it when you posted it and thought, "You know, that's EXACTLY the attitude I'm starting to adopt".

I've actually quoted you on several occasions.

After all, they're gonna call us racist anyway, right?

Good stuff.

[USS Alaska]

Surprise. Here is the racist, prick.

[MoJoWork_n]

Maybe Perry’s just trying to deflect attention away
from his own, exceptionally mediocre, grade point.

Somewhere between 1.9 and 2.0:

It’s not like he’s been coming off as a genius in
any of his debate performances.

[hecht]

Which race? The half he was raised as or the half he pretends to be?

“Have you posted this on FR before?”

Ya know, I don’t really remember. I’m sure it couldn’t be an original thought.

[Chasaway]

LOL!
