No, I didn't mention his grandma, that's his business. I called him out for likening Ferraro to the Wright, something I believe that I can believe in hindsight most would agree was ludicrous.
I never blogged about the comment by Obama, and only did now to show how ridiculous it is, both of these are, with whats being claimed they mean.
I stand corrected; I should have checked against my memory, and apologize.
I will say your reticence on that matter did not spread to many diarists...
Wow, an Obamabot apologized for his rantings. Amazing!
An Obamabot?
Defined as anyone who doesn't blindly stand by Hillary on this site.
Sad.
Defined as anyone who thinks the sun rises between Obama's asscheeks. Does that include you, pray?
You seem like a horrible person. I hope I'm wrong. Have a nice day.
As her comments get worse and worse with each post, I don't think you're wrong.
It is always the other who is horrible. Look deep into a mirror, sir, deep and long.
Pathetic. How old are you again?
well in your post above you compare obama's grandma comments with hillary's "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans" comments. It seems to me that the former was a (ham-fisted) go at inclusiveness and the latter either the outcome of being very tired indeed, or outright offensiveness. Or perhaps just a mere 'misspeak'.
It would be ridiculous not to talk about demographics and race, which is what you say some obama supporters want, but hillary appears to be equating 'white' with 'hard-working', and indeed with 'American'. Can't you see how and why people are antsy about this?
inclusiveness totally wrong word, but what I mean is that he was making an attempt to talk about thorny racial issues more or less head-on. hillary was supposed to be talking about demographic and voting and made it sound like unsophisticated dog-whistling.
Obama said that she, being a "typical white person", felt afraid when she saw a black man on the street. It's much less ambiguously insulting--and much less true--than what Clinton said.
It's now in the bulging Republican playbook. We can discuus it further in September.
Gramma ratified the statement in his book. It's true and not insulting.
Implying that non-whites are not "hardworking Americans" is both untrue and insulting.
Citing two examples of something does not mean that he's "equating" them except on a very basic level.
I will reiterate my example from those days:
When I was young, my cat Sarah would come and sit on my stomach when I lay on the floor to watch TV. Being an ill-tempered cat, she would painfully extend her claws into my flesh if I tried to move and disturb her warm seat. She did this even though it damaged the person who fed and gave her a warm spot to sit on sometimes.
Likewise, Comrade Stalin, when pressed by the nazis, similarly scorched the earth behind his retreating forces, making it unusable for feeding his people or housing them for a generation.
Thus, by your logic, I am equating Stalin to my cat, yes?
siamese are insane.
Sarah was an alleycat originally. Lived to be 20 years old, and became more and more Stalin-esque until the day she died.
Then she came back from the dead and lived for another few years.
Hmm, maybe she was more Rasputin than Stalin.
You may not have and I'm too lazy to check. However, this site is yours and you didn't stop or speak out against those here that did.
