Another person attending the gathering, Chuck Schaaff of Lenexa, spoke of his overall frustration with the Obama administration.

“The biggest threat to this great country is Obama, period,” Schaaff said. “We’ve gotta get him out.”

...

Republican Party chairman John Bradford then grabbed the microphone and said activity was needed at the grass-roots level and that people shouldn’t come home each night to watch “American Idol.”

“Get off your butt and make the system work,” Bradford said.

...

“They need to get off the couch, put down their beers and let’s get it done,” he said.

1. it's not about policy, it's about race.

[Javaman]

9. Exactly right. nt

[Montauk6]

2. Plant the seed, plant the seed, plant the seed...

That's what it's all about.

[Lasher]

3. Make the system work.

Like they did the last 8 years. :eyes:

[City Lights]

4. You lost. We won. Period.

Get the fuck over it, Chuckles!

[Lasher]

12. They're still in denial.

[sakabatou]

5. It's because he's black, right Chuck?

[hatrack]

6. Yes, and Senator Brownback called him on this statement, didn't he?

He demanded specifics as to why President Obama is "the biggest threat", didn't he?

Oh, that's right, he didn't.

He's just another Republican lion-tamer with folding chair and a licorice whip who thinks he's in charge.

7. Yikes. (Letting go is tough.)

Not that I feel sorry for the people who can't cope, but to me, this is all part of the nastiness of their denial.

8. It is one thing for RWingnuts to make crazy irrational statements,

but it is time the Republican Party Leaders to have a talk
with Senators and Congressmen. More is expected of Senators
and Congressmen.

Brownbeck has a right to criticize any policy.

These CongressPeople know that there is a racial component
in most of these "uprisings" or whatever you may call them.

These people are in a high state of anxiety. Trade Policies
have sent their jobs overseas. Financial Crisis has lost
30 Million jobs so far along with the Globalization Crisis.
Many have lost lots in 401 K s. They know our country is
financially strapped. This is enough to make any American
anxious.

For the Wingnuts, add to to this: For many of them, having
a Black President is threatening.
"I want my Country back" I want to go back to the Constitution"
Some make no bones about it. The whole business with the Birthers
has nothing to do with the Birth Certificate. We know darn well
that because of political correctness, they pick something
like Birth Cert. to really say , This Black Man is an illegitmate
President. They are faced with the "Browning of America"
and this has them rattled. "I want to back to the Consitution."


I have to chuckle. I love the Founders so do not take this
wrong.
In the days of Founders we were and Elitist Society. Only the
monied and Land Owners had power. Only they could vote.
Sorry Folks, but you would be low man on the totum pole there
too.

My Point: The Republican Congressmen and Senators have a responsiblity
not to encourage this by saying Obama is the problem. I do not
believe Brownback is racists. He is encouraging those followers
who are. This is immoral.

10. The biggest threat to our country is people like brownback

who tell lies about what is "the biggest threat to this country".

They had 8 fucking years and they did fucking nothing but bust the country and kill our soldiers.

Edit~ My bad..I thought brownback said it.

[Winterblues]

11. Republicans are scared of their own shadows.. Cowards each and every one of them

Obama a "Threat" to the country....ooooo so very terrifying. It is no wonder they all have to sleep with their guns.. Scared to death...

[loyalkydem]

13. this is why

I'm afraid for the President's Safety. You racists fucks don't like it, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE GOD DAMN COUNTRY.

[walldude]

14. Funny, right up till the day Obama was elected "terrorists"were the biggest threat

to this country. So Brownass saying that Obama has defeated terrorism. Wow, Bush couldn't stop the biggest threat to America for 8 years and Obama managed to do it in just a couple months. Brilliant.

[waiting]

15. Sen. Brownback is a member of the Family

It is their agenda that we need to be afraid of.
