Obama lazy? So says Rove

[DangerDave921]

Karl Rove writes today that Obama "is often lazy."

Are we really still in that era of race relations when a white man with power can still evoke that tired old stereotype of black men being lazy.

From my limited view from the sofa watching TV, it hardly seems like Obama is lazy.

1. Consider the source. nt

2. Rove playing to the base

I'm sure Rove has a wind up black Obama doll that does a funny little dance, its the kind of guy Rove is. He is playing to the republican base with these comments.

[Critters2]

3. And shiftless. Don't forget shiftless.

What racist crap!

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Some no account negro, sho nuf...

[Patsy Stone]

28. And uppity. Don't forget uppity.

:eyes:

4. He's up there shuckin' n' jivin', workin' on CP Time

If you don't stay after these Negroes, they'll just lay out in a hammock all day with a jug of moonshine. Healthy applications of the lash are particularly useful.

What's next? Shiftless? No account?

We'll have 100 DUers pretending that they had no idea these terms had any racial connotations.

6. Rove is considered as anything but trashcan liner?

Why would anyone give his opinion a two-nanosecond glance?

[DangerDave921]

14. Why I read it

I read Rove because for all his blatant faults as a human being, he is still a powerful political strategist and he still probably plays a role in the RW machine. So yes, I want to see his analysis of the political scene.

Any man who can lead Bush to president obviously has some street smarts when it comes to strategerizing a campaign.

7. Can you shuck and jive and be lazy at the same time?

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Oh, you shuck and jive to get out of work

That's the whole value of shuckin' n jivin'.

[dbackjon]

8. And he didn't some how mention

"except when hustling for crack??"

Rove is slipping.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Yeah, you know those black men. Always bein' lazy, always shuckin' and jivin'

[Essene]

11. Clinton should just hire him.... oh wait, then she'd have to pay him

[Barack_America]

12. Wow and the racist hits just keep on coming...

I'm really ashamed of this country today, Jesus. I had really thought we had gotten past this. Fucken depressing.

[alcibiades_mystery]

27. And still I see no changes...

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

[demo dutch]

13. Some will buy into that, playing to the base!

[NashVegas]

15. Karl's Just Pissed

Because he had to beg Mary Matalin to publish his memoir on her boutique imprint & he's only getting $1 million, while Obama signed a deal for 1.9 w/Random House / Crown.

[Bonobo]

16. Probably "shiftless" too! What does Andy Cuomo have to say about it?

[IntravenousDemilo]

17. If Karl Rove is the paragon of industriousness, give me "lazy" any day of the week. n/m

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Rove can just bite it. If anyone is lazy it's his boy wonder **. Look how much

vacation time that creep takes!

[returnable]

19. I'm guessing Karl has Andrew Cuomo on the speed dial.

For those defending Cuomo, this is the company you keep :kick:

[Cleita]

20. Who cares what the Pillsbury dough boy has to say.

Rove's words carry no weight anymore except with a small percent of the Bushbot vote.

[SoxFan]

21. On his ass drinkin' a fo'ty, no doubt

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Sho nuf...you know how dem negroes do

:sarcasm:

[bunnies]

23. Rove a steaming pile of shit? So says me. nt

[HughMoran]

24. Racists - they are going to regret what they say

Nobody wants to be perceived as racist - even the racists, Rove is helping Dems if he keeps up this crap.

[Egnever]

25. I heard he eats chicken too!

[yardwork]

26. Let's put a moratorium on quoting Rove, ok?

The mere thought of the man is sickening. Let's not drag his filth over here.
