Conservative activist and convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza on Wednesday raised the bar for his incomprehensible Twitter feed, tweeting a photo of President Obama with the message, "YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE GHETTO."
D'Souza criticized the "vulgar man" Obama for using a "selfie-stick" in a recent video produced by BuzzFeed that promotd the Affordable Care Act. He then decided to forgo a dog whistle and bashed out a racial slur in all caps.

I know Obama wasn't actually raised in a ghetto--I'm using the term metaphorically, to suggest his unpresidential conduct
11:19 AM - 18 Feb 2015
The tweets are only the latest in a long line of swipes at the 44th President, whom D'Souza once compared to the Ebola virus ("OBOLA" .

In any event, McCain is not my standard to how to respond to racism.
CJCRANE
(18,184 posts)McCain used it as an insult, basically implying that they are malicious because they are stupid. That's my take on it and my opinion of them.

What would Mr. D'Sousa have President Obama do? Perhaps as long as Mr. Obama is president, Mr. D'Sousa should lend him the white skin he uses when he plays the part of a Republican hack. Would that satisfy Mr. D'Sousa?

(10,044 posts)Such bitter criticism for something so minor . . . and President Obama has such a short time left. He's getting a lot done in spite of Congress and criticism, but he's finally starting to show some common touch with the people and his sense of humor.
Carry on, President Obama. We understand.

By the way, D'Souza is the guest on Fox News tonight defending Rudy's "Obama doesn't love America" comments.

(65,616 posts)Great parties. I think Dennis Hopper was there handing out blue poppers, kinda fuzzy on the memories. Obama of course was one of the head rumblers. Always smart to be in his corner. Crazy times. Crazy times.
So what is Dinesh some kind of Pope of Purity or something? Never fucking heard of him sounds like he wants to rumble with the Big Dog II.
I got this Rex, clear the area I'm going into ass kicking mode.
