Fox Says it First: Barack Obama is an ANGRY Black Man

[ccharles000]

To date, the Republicans have implied that Barack Obama is an angry black man — think Reverend Jeremiah Wright to name one instance — but as far as I know, nobody in the "main stream media" has blatantly referred to him as one, envoking a myriad of mostly media-generated, scary images and thoughts in the minds of white American voters.

But today (August 30, 3008) it happened. On Fox. Of course. Almost exactly 24 hours after John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his VP, making references to Obama's "youth" and "inexperience" unusable, Ben Stein opened the door to the angry black man meme.

It happened on Cavuto on Business, one of Fox's "Cost of Freedom" block of Saturday morning "business news" shows. The cast members were partaking in a round table discussion about whether Obama is "attacking the American dream" (homeownership) by "bashing McCain's wealth." (This is where Fox has taken the issue of McCain forgetting how many homes he owns and Democrats calling him on it as an indication that he is out of touch with not only his own life but with the lives of average Americans.)

Cavuto turned to Ben Stein and asked, "Well, Ben, Ben Stein, you are a great student of political history. Is this the time and moment a populist campaign could work and would work and will work?"

Stein: "Ah, it could work. I don't think it's going to work because I think Obama, ah, people... I think, if I may say so, there's just too many people who are not going to vote for a black candidate. But, ah, especially a black angry candidate. I hate to say that because I abhor racism but I don't think it's going to work for that reason. <...>"

2. And Ben Stein is an angry white curmudgeon who has trouble

finding anything good to say about anyone.

[Mz Pip]

3. Ben Stein

wishes it were so. He wants the race card to work. He may distance himself for the racism but he is more than happy to take advantage of it. It's almost worse than blatant racism.

[kwolf68]

4. Unreal

...Brack Obama has been anything but angry...he's been positive, full of vitality and vigor, not to mention hope and passion.

The FASCISTS can go fuck themselves up the ass.

[MiniMe]

13. Hannity started that on his radio show on Friday

He has also stopped calling Obama by his full name, and gone to Barack "Apollo" Obama.

I listened so you wouldn't have to, then I went and threw up and took a shower.

[MrScorpio]

14. Ben Stein clearly doesn't know what an "Angry Black Man" looks like:

This is an angry black man:



This is not:



Lesson over

[calmblueocean]

19. LOL! (n/t)

[Emit]

15. Bueller... Bueller...

[npk]

16. Go back to doing Clear Eyes commercials you fucking BIGOT

And then rot and hell when you're done.

[grantcart]

17. and the 23 people watching Cavuto were amazed that he had a guest they could identify

[calmblueocean]

18. Disgusting. "I abhor racism" my ass.

He only abhors it when it works against him, apparently. Makes me sick.

[jazzjunkysue]

20. Bigots never think they're racist. If it's a fact, you're not a bigot. In order for a person to

classify as a bigot, you'd have to accept that their judgement of a group was a personally held opinion.

But if you really believe that one particular group is in fact inferior, then you're not a bigot. You're stating a fact.

You're also irrational.

[Left Is Write]

23. Exactly. I'm thinking that if you have to SAY you abhor racism to defend your own words -

you've already lost the argument.

[ncteechur]

21. There are those who simply by their existence make the world shittier than it otherwise would be.

Ben Stein is one of those individuals.

[Dukkha]

22. in the words of Ollie Williams

[otohara]

24. If He Abors Racism -

he sure didn't include the fact that Obama is half white - nope, he wants to scare people by excluding the white mother. Therefore, he is a racist and no great student of political history.

Poor old man, still his only real claim to fame is Ferris Bueller as you can see he still hangs on to it in his e-mail address: [e-mail]

[sakabatou]

25. Ben's angry becuase...

He's been called out on his ID shit and more.

[davepc]

26. "Angry" was the one word the freepers were using to describe the acceptance speech

It's definitely a common theme in the rethug trenches.

[DavidDvorkin]

27. I'm an angry white man, and I want an angry candidate.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Fox playing the race card so you don't have to!

[Colobo]

29. Ben Stein is a Stain on American culture.

[ccharles000]
