(I have borrowed some of the following information from Moderate Republicans' blog of 6/17, Obama, Oil Spills and Rhetoric. Mod Repub, ever a useful resource)
First it was Kirsten Powers who seemed the first to fall out of love with him, then the Ragin' Cajun' went ballistic. I heard also that Olbermann had something not nice to say. So what was the impetus for all this? The Crisis in the Gulf of course, yes it took something of this magnitude for them to finally turn this spaceship around and head back towards Earth but here's a list of some other liberals who've had critical things to say:
E.J. Dionne (Wash. Post) - a fair lib imo not given to hyperventilating
Gail Collins (Ole Gray Lady) - I recall her name from somewhere and it wasn't for her conservative musings
David Broder (Wash. Post) - I think he's some type of lib but I'm not really sure. Seen him on gabfests with Gwen Ifill on PBS and he always looked kind of boring to me like he'd get out his lawn chair with a few other oldsters and sit outside of Macy's on a hot sweltering day in July. Looks like he uses the stall in the Men's Room alot.
Tina Brown - THE Tina Brown
Robert Reich (HuffPo) - we all remember him.
Roger Simon (Politico),
& on it goes. Now many of them are saying the same things you or I might say. You know I gotta break this down and get to the Westchester County Gun Show but I'm just sayin' if you're a Tea Party motherfucker you're a racist by definition but if you hang with the above set your criticism is somehow more cerebral and fair. In short why has criticism of Obama become niggerized but only on the conservative end?
Typical double standards.
ReplyDeleteWell it's like this. People don't want somebody else criticizing their friend or a member of their family, only they can do it. It's just funny that not that long ago if you dared lift a critical finger to Obama you were a racist but now that so many folks are saying the same thing, the guy just sucks...actually I'd like the libs to explain this.
ReplyDeleteI would, too, any takers?
ReplyDeleteYou know certain threads of mine just meet with dead silence and that's because they're the best ones.
ReplyDelete"How come lib critics of the President aren't racists too?"
ReplyDeleteBecause when I get an email from a liberal source criticizing Obama, there isn't a photo of a monkey or an African witchdoctor or watermelons on the WH front lawn imbedded in the email.
I have received this sort of trash from rightwingers, and they excuse it by saying "it's only a joke."
That's why.
Sorry but I have made comments at blogs that have no pictures and have been called a racist, care to explain that?
