The Debate Moment When Hillary Clinton Called You An "Implicit Racist" (Video)

I guess Hillary thinks all Americans deserve to be in the "Basket of Deplorables."

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir: “IRS” Is The New N-Word In The GOP’s “War Against The Black Man In The White House”…

Geez...



Race-baiting on steroids...

Via Mediaite:

. . . “And now, the IRS is being used in exactly the same way as they tried to use the president’s birth certificate,” Bashir said. “For Republicans like Darrell Issa, who knows something about arson, those three letters now stand for something inflammatory.”
“Republicans are using it as their latest weapon in the war against the black man in the White House,” he insisted.

NY Times: Mitt Romney victory will lead to Jim Crow laws or something...

Just when you think race-baiting can't be taken to a more despicable level,  you find this Colbert I. King NYT's opinion piece.

A Romney win would be worrisome, however, because of his strong embrace of states rights and his deep mistrust of the federal government — sentiments Andrew Johnson shared.

And we know what that Johnson did once in office.

His sympathy for Confederacy holdouts, and his distaste for Washington, led him to retreat from Reconstruction and avert his gaze as Southern states enacted Jim Crow laws, many of which lasted until the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

There is nothing in Romney’s record to suggest that he would be any stronger than Andrew Johnson in resisting the blandishments of his most extreme supporters, especially regarding federal enforcement.

Johnson stood by as Southern states enacted “black codes,” which restricted rights of freed blacks and prevented blacks from voting.

President Obama: GOP agenda like watching "black-and-white TV."

Does Obama have to frame everything in subtle racial terms?

Via The Hill:

President Obama blasted Republicans Saturday for an agenda he said was so "last century" that it was like watching "black-and-white TV."

Obama addressed a campaign audience in Iowa as Democrats prepare to begin their convention next week.

The president said that Republican nominee Mitt Romney offered voters a "rerun" agenda with few details at the GOP convention, which ended on Thursday.

Obama tries to recover from a really bad March by ratcheting up class warfare

In March, President Obama had what might be the worst month of any presidency in modern times.  In an attempt to get his re-election campaign back on track, he is beating the class warfare drums. Since he has little in the way of accomplishments, and will have less if Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional, class and race-baiting are all he has.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to increase taxes on millionaires, reviving a proposal he first pitched last September that aims to draw sharp election-year lines between the president and the Republican opposition.

The plan, scheduled for a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate on April 16, stands little chance of passing in Congress. But it is a prominent symbol of the efforts the president and congressional Democrats are making to portray themselves as champions of economic fairness. Republicans dismiss the idea as a political stunt with little real effect on the budget.

“We don’t envy success in this country. We aspire to it,” Obama said in his Saturday radio and Internet address. “But we also believe that anyone who does well for themselves should do their fair share in return, so that more people have the opportunity to get ahead — not just a few.”

Obama calls the plan the “Buffett Rule” for Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who has complained that rich people like him pay a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-class taxpayers. Many wealthy taxpayers earn investment income, which is taxed at 15 percent. Obama has proposed that people earning at least $1 million annually — whether in salary or investments — should pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes. Keep on reading...

Eric Holder Plays the Race Card

AG Eric Holder blames criticism of him and Obama on the fact they are African-Americans. The actual reason is incompetence.

(NYT) —  [...] In the interview, Mr. Holder offered a glimpse of how he viewed the criticism. He said he thought some critics — like Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who favors allowing the military to handle terrorism suspects over the criminal justice system — are expressing “good faith” arguments about their policy disagreements.

But Mr. Holder contended that many of his other critics — not only elected Republicans but also a broader universe of conservative commentators and bloggers — were instead playing “Washington gotcha” games, portraying them as frequently “conflating things, conveniently leaving some stuff out, construing things to make it seem not quite what it was” to paint him and other department figures in the worst possible light.

Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”

DNC sends out race-baiting fundraising letter

 


You can't buy a pack of smokes without a picture id, but somehow it is racist to ask for id before voting. 

Via Weekly Standard:

In a fundraising letter sent out this afternoon by the Democratic National Committee, Will Crossley, counsel and voter protection director, asks folks to support his party because, he implies, Republican efforts to suppress voters are worse than Jim Crow-era laws.

“Dorothy Cooper was born before women or African Americans in our country could exercise the right to vote. She grew up in a Jim Crow-divided South, and saw the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965,” Crossley writes. “Dorothy is 96 years old. In 70 years, she’s missed just one election. And she’s never had a problem voting — until this year.”

Cooper is having problems voting this year because, Crossley writes, the Republicans are working against her — and “everyone — especially for minorities young voters, and seniors.”
