Truthy’s in desperate need of a thesaurus. Parrots don’t repeat things as often as this idiot.

Whether he’s racist or not, he wouldn’t be a threat to the presidency
were it not for the failed Iraq War based on lies, which catapulted him to viability because of Hillary’s initial support of the war and her ensuing unpopularity with the Democratic left-mainstream.
Since you warmongers supported and support the war, blame yourselves.

He mentioned everything but white sheets and burning crosses….
But I’m sure his reverend has covered that once or twice in his life.

â€œâ€¦and they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy toward people who arenâ€™t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.â€

Yes, racist.

What do you mean “now” it’s racist?
Clearly, Obama’s been raised as a hate-filled racist from a very young age. Just how much more evidence do you need?

Norm,
“.” rascistâ€¦now itâ€™s rascist? amazing. astounding. buy a dog, name it clue, then you will have one.”

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. If you want to continue whining about people’s immature comments than I suggest you stop making immature comments yourself. That or quit whining…

“things like hunting and church and cultural tradition are important to a lot of people but especially small town america. so when republicans push those wedge issues and say someone wants to take their guns away, or push ridiculous gay-marriage amendments, or go on anti-immigration rants they vote on those issues rather than in their own economic self-interests. itâ€™s a simple argumentâ€¦and itâ€™s not elitist.”

Out of Obama’s mouth and blamed on the Republicans. Amazing…you’ve become quite skilled in liberalspeak.

Dc, this is what they’ve become…relegated to cheap debate tactics such as ommission, parsing, and context. I’ve even had lefties argue over typos! Their candidates are such lowlifes that they are now put in the absurd position of defending a completely racist statement from a racist candidate. What a hell they must live in to have to live in such a swamp of falsehoods and minutia. They’re reaping what they’ve sown and it just gets more and more outrageous.

As for literary suggestions, I would suggest branching out to different points of view, different opinions, theories, etc. I would also suggest that having an opinion or theory doesn’t therefore making it factual. This is something most younger, liberal minded people have a lot of trouble with these days.

example: A happened. B happened. Therefore: A caused B.

If you question the cause/effect relationship in the above example, a they typically respond….well….A happened. B happened. That proves it. They also pretty much believe everything they read and seek out only books that re-enforce their own viewsâ€” instead of broadening their understanding. There’s a book store close by me called “The Unimperialistic, Unoppressive Book Store” whos shelves are full of nothing but leftist propaganda and socialist heros.

Beyond dispute? The only part of his statement that anyone trying to defend it has addressed, including yourself, is the first part about people being “bitter” and why they are bitter. Obama, and anyone trying to defend this statement just walked right away from the 2nd part of the sentence as if it didn’t existâ€”the 2nd part being what ties the point he was making in in the first part in an entirely different direction. That also is beyond disputeâ€”for logical thinking people.

Leave it to Norm to cite a book with overtly liberal elitist snobbery to make his non-elitist point of view.

whippet…i’m not a mind reader i just base my observations on past behavior. on a similar thread monday i was told no one cared for my analysis. so on this thread i simply focused on the meanings of words which is beyond dispute for logical people.
as for what i think obama meant…because you asked twice…every four years politicians from both sides of the aisle spread out across the country and talk about all the good things they are going to do for everyone…then they go to washington and forget all about it until the next election cycle. obama was simply pointing out what many people have pointed out before…the folks who have lost jobs to mexico and india and have lost their healthcare don’t believe they are going to get any help on any of these things from politicians because all they ever hear is empty promises. things like hunting and church and cultural tradition are important to a lot of people but especially small town america. so when republicans push those wedge issues and say someone wants to take their guns away, or push ridiculous gay-marriage amendments, or go on anti-immigration rants they vote on those issues rather than in their own economic self-interests. it’s a simple argument…and it’s not elitist. if you want to know more i suggest you read “what’s wrong with kansas” by thomas frank.

Truthfully, the corner in the Iraq War was turned long ago. I’d say what is happening now is reconstruction, rebuilding, reorganizing, and reconsolidating. Reeducation, of course, takes much longer for the Truth’s and Norms of the world.

Truthy,

“Does Feldmanâ€™s assurance the Iraq War had tunred the corner several years ago qualify her as stupid?”

No. But it does show she has amazing insight.
