Freepers call for obstructionism and armed revolution
Edited on Mon Feb-15-10 07:07 PM by LuckyTheDog
They just can't get over having a black guy named Barack as president:

1. Black guy?
That is a bunch of ridiculous, over-the-top, inflammatory rhetoric.

However, I don't see any call to arms, nor do I see any racism. They seem to have a problem with the president being (in their words) a "marxist/communist", not black.

Being reactionary and jumping to illogical conclusions plays right into their hands and doesn't do us any good.

9. Really?
Edited on Mon Feb-15-10 07:21 PM by WitchyWoman57
Maybe they are. I was responding to the thread linked to.

Read the words, not what you believe is behind the words.

14. They use "Kenyan Usurper" instead of "Filthy N*****"
but the same racism is in the words they use.

22. They have to find other ways of saying it
After all, they still want to project the image that they aren't really racist, they're just concerned about their country.

3. If you don't think racism is behind all that birther crap...
...and don't think they are calling for violence when they cry out for "revolution" and make wishful-thinking predictions of civil war, well, then, you have not been paying attention.

I certainly don't see his descriptors as being over the top..


"We patriots have to stop just waiting around for Barry’s term to end. We need to RESIST!"

"GOD'S PEOPLE must RISE UP and reconstruct this nation's original connection to GODLY LAW"

"I still call another CW within the next 20 years."

7. Nice defense
You can go anywhere on that site and see racism, calls for coups and every other crazy thing you can think of. Of course, the right never owns up to anything, so this response isn't surprising.

8. So, it's bad for "our side"?
And "WE" shouldn't be pointing this out because it makes "US" look bad?

OK, you've convinced me.

I would like progressives to behave rationally. Is that really so unreasonable?

"Kenyan Usurper" really means?

13. They were saying all those things about Obama the day after he was elected.
They don't need real evidence of Socialism or Nazism or ???. Just the fact he was elected was enough for all of them to go off the deep end.You most definitely have blinders on if you can't see the very obvious racism in their actions and rhetoric.

16. Yeah...it's always racism...
Calling "racism" is the easy out. I call bullshit on taking the easy out. They didn't like Clinton either. Was that racism?

Overusing racism dulls the charge, just like overusing sexism. They are both real and to claim that everyone who doesn't like Obama is a racist is idiotic. FACE the facts and deal with them, don't hide behind the facile belief that all Republicans are racists.

26. It's not an easy out when it is a factual instance of racism.
Edited on Mon Feb-15-10 08:46 PM by MUAD_DIB
The never doubted Clinton's birth certificate.


They never called out Clinton's middle name as if it were a sign of the Devil.


They never claimed that Clinton was a convert to Anglicanism since he schooled at University College, Oxford.



Yes, it is racism, sweetheart. It is the easy out to highlight the low brow thought process. Why, I imagine that they even blame their poor home life, dead-end jobs and meth addictions on Obama's Presidential success as well.

:rofl:

28. So, you defend the freepers
And you instead obsess about my use of the word "black" -- reading far more into it than I ever posted. Hmmmm....

I never said all Republicans are racist. I never said that everyone who doesn't like Obama is a racist. Nope. Never did.

If you ever read Free Republic, though, I think you'd understand what I ACTUALLY asserted. The fact that the president is of Kenyan descent and named Barack is, indeed, a source of anguish for those folks.

So, could you stop trying to discredit me by making things up -- and, just perhaps, address some of the actual content I linked to?

32. Keep reading
before too long you'll be seeing "send him back to Kenya". It should take you under 5 minutes to realize every poster over there is a knuckle dragging, braindead racist who have all turned into a bunch of bed wetting little boys/girls because our President is black.

27. Any American who does not like the way the president is leading this nation is free to leave
I am not going to tolerate it. Not now. Not while we have troops in the field.

29. Rec. Great post.
Edited on Tue Feb-16-10 07:26 AM by old mark
These people are still the same-some prepare for the next civil war each time Democrat is elected, form camps in the woods and have a few middle age fat guys run around carrying rifles. This really is not new, just the ususal bunch of idiots.
BUT - they now have a black man -Kenyan Marxist anti-god userper who is trampling the constitution while we leftist comrades cheer him on. They are a bit more focused now, and will be whipping themselves up till the election.
If they lose again, and I believe they will, they will be stunned that America has forsaken them.

I expect some violence, but not a real war, not even close, after the election.

31. I've said it before and I'll say it again in all seriousness.
Round them all up and exile them on 2 or 3 Islands in the Aleutians. They can succeed from there.
