Apparently Joe McGinnis = “the press.” :dubious:
Nonsense. Every black person with a postgraduate degree who isn’t a conservative is a radical. That’s what the term means.
Sadly, this.

As provided by your good friends at Talking Points Memo, the original PBS footage
Here’s how it works people.
[ol]
[li]Find an old video or photograph of Obama (or whoever the target of the moment is) doing something with someone (or at least being in the same room or planet as someone).[/li]It’s doesn’t much matter who the someone is. If they’ve ever voiced an opinion about something and the dittoheads aren’t too familiar with them, they’ll do. Or, if you don’t want to put any effort into your choice, any black person will do.
It’s best if it’s a video or photo that can be feasibly (or even infeasibly) portrayed as having been hidden, suppressed, ignored, etc.
[li]All the talking heads get absolutely, freaking, off the wall outraged about this crime against humanity.[/li][li]The dittoheads then blindly accept that it must be something worth getting outraged about and that the person half a block away from Obama in the blurry photograph is obviously an existential threat to freedom, apple pie, and the American way.[/li][li]Profit![/li][/ol]
B was greatly influenced by A but overall how he governed in the last three and a half years is why I won’t be voting for him. Bottomline is I’m earning less and everything is costing me more. That is not fundamental change I can support.
Not caring about his past is one thing but you can’t deny that what he was taught and who he hung around with didn’t affect how he views the world today.
I agree - this whole “inflation” thing didn’t exist before Obama. He should have frozen prices and increased wages by fiat, like every other president. Then we’d have a booming economy, you betcha!
So you believe Obama had more to do with your declining circumstances than Republicans?
And yet I’m making tons more money than I was three years ago. Thanks, Obama!
So you’re one of the 1%ers
I believe he’s done nothing to help the middle class.
Yes. I’m in the top 1% of earning in my household. My cat doesn’t bring in shit.
I’m solidly lower-middle class, but because I do good work I tend to get promotions/raises every year despite Obama conspiring to keep me down. Maybe you should take some organization classes or something so you can get your shit together.
Cool you went from french fries to the drive-thru. Your cat must be proud.
I’ve gone from french fries to a Senior Analyst at a bank … it took a little longer than three years, though. But everybody has to have a dream, huh?
Obligatory Daily Show bit from last night:
And so long as we’re playing the guilt-by-association game, would it be fair to ask if Sean Hannity is a Holocaust denier:

I wouldn’t call 80k a year lower-middle class but that’s just my opinion.
Then you’re better off talking about the things he’s done in the last three years (it won’t be three and a half for a while yet). That tells you a lot more about what he’ll do from 2013 to 2017 than this attempt to make Derrick Bell “the Jeremiah Wright of academia” or whatever the Fox guy said about it the other day. If he’s really a radical socialist who hates white people, he’s done very little to show it.
It’s not quite up to that, but close (small bank, small state). When you factor in my kids and my divorce – believe me I’m lower-middle class.
Oh yeah, then why was it hidden – no, buried I say BURIED under stacks of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, huh?
President Obama and I are the same age. We “associated” with the same kind of people in college. Yet he is smarter, and I’m more “radical” (just a tad left of his pretty moderate positions). I don’t see anything even borderline controversial about his support of professor Bell.
