Obama's "mother attracted to men of the third world"

[HopeOverFear]

Yes, the Moonies went there...

From Washington Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden's November 17 column:

So far it's a memorable trip. He established a new precedent for how American presidents should pay obeisance to kings, emperors, monarchs, sovereigns and assorted other authentic man-made masters of the universe. He stopped just this side of the full grovel to the emperor of Japan, risking a painful genuflection if his forehead had hit the floor with a nasty bump, which it almost did. No president before him so abused custom, traditions, protocol (and the country he represents). Several Internet sites published a rogue's gallery showing how other national leaders - the prime ministers of Israel, India, Slovenia, South Korea, Russia and Dick Cheney among them - have greeted Emperor Akihito with a friendly handshake and an ever-so-slight but respectful nod (and sometimes not even that).

Now we know why Mr. Obama stunned everyone with an earlier similar bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, only the bow to the Japanese emperor was far more flamboyant, a sign of a really deep sense of inferiority. He was only practicing his bow in Riyadh. Sometimes rituals are learned with difficulty. It took Bill Clinton months to learn how to return a military salute worthy of a commander in chief; like any draft dodger, he kept poking a thumb in his eye until he finally got it. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, seems right at home now giving a wow of a bow. This is not the way an American president impresses evildoers that he's strong, tough and decisive, that America is not to be trifled with.

<...>

But Mr. Obama, unlike his predecessors, likely knows no better, and many of those around him, true children of the grungy '60s, are contemptuous of custom. Cutting America down to size is what attracts them to "hope" for "change." It's no fault of the president that he has no natural instinct or blood impulse for what the America of "the 57 states" is about. He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream.

1. damn, thats quite seditious.

[madrchsod]

2. a racist piece of shit working for a racist piece of shit

what else do we expect from the moonies.

is it any wonder why the moomie times is losing billions and there was an armed take over of the leadership of the "newspaper".

[question everything]

37. As long as it makes it to the greatest page

the logic of DUers R and U defy description.

[baldguy]

3. "Third world"? Is Boston in the Third world?

His father was a Harvard-educated economist. His step-father was a geologist for Mobil Oil.

[AspenRose]

4. Shit.

THAT is worthy of a Olbermann "Special Comment."


And who the hell unrec'd this?

[HopeOverFear]

6. Indeed.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. To borrow from the Rude Pundit. "Why Wesley Pruden needs to be cock punched repeatedly ." nt

[Ozymanithrax]

7. 57 states?

His stupidity is only matched by his racist ideology.

[Orsino]

8. It was accidental, no doubt.

[Ozymanithrax]

9. Yes, the 0 is right next to the seven on most keyboards.

And, apparantly, his editor is blind.

[amandabeech]

10. Actually, Obama misspoke on the campaign trail,

and made a reference to the 57 states. He corrected himself, I believe, but the right will not let him forget it.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. Yes. He meant 57 primaries and said states.

It was a simple mistake that everyone has used to attack him since.

[amandabeech]

28. Thanks for the correction. n/t

[Cha]

11. Obama said that on the campaign trail

as an obvious mistake..I googled it just now and all these rw links come up trying to capitalize on it. One said, "Will this cost him the Presidency?"

I say BFD.

[Cha]

12. Didn't "stun" me,

asshole..where's the pic of their hero bush all kissy face with the Saudi royal?

What a rw hitpiece..trying to capitalize on any imperfection they find.

[Mz Pip]

13. "stunned everyone"

Really? Everyone??? Or just the right wing twits that Rush and Hannity whipped up into a frenzy over this nonsense?

This is one of the most offensive piece of crap I've seen in a newspaper.

Obama doesn't need to impress evil doers with his bow. He's got the actual firepower of the best military in the world. Who cares what they thing of his bow.

[Enrique]

14. that's an amazing column

people like this really have no clue how out of touch they are. Do they realize how many millions of Americans wouldn't be counted as American under their criteria? They're living in an America that hasn't existed in decades.

[dgibby]

15. Does this fool realize he works for an Asian man,

uh, deity? Wonder how many times a day he has to kiss "Father" Moon's ring!:wtf:

[tomm2thumbs]

16. who did the Virgin Mary hang around with?

[Hepburn]

25. Well, I am betting her parents did not believe the bullshit...

...that some sky spirit knocked her up.

[DangerousRhythm]

17. K&R... to the Greatest (unless someone unrecs it, ugh)

This... the word "article" seems too dignified... piece of shit in print form is shameful and disgusting.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. That might be the most racist mainstream article I've ever seen published.

[emulatorloo]

20. Hawaii - not part of the "REAL AMERICA"

This editorial is so full of offensive crap I almost missed that one.

[Hekate]

23. Alaska, however, seems to be Authentic America.

:argh:

[emulatorloo]

33. Alaska and the Deep South, basically . . . . n/t

[thereismore]

21. All they see is skin color. That's called racism. nt

[Hekate]

22. You know, there are people who actually believe this shit. They read it in the Times, see it on Fox,

... hear it on the radio... There are people who really believe this.

God help us.

Hekate

[Hepburn]

24. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck???

What in the world is that shit? :shrug:

Like white women can ONLY be attracted to white men??? Hello???

[Retrograde]

26. So what?

It was her life, to lead as she chose. She managed to raise two exceptional children in the process. Why she married the men she did is her own business - and theirs.

"reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream": written by people who've either never been to Hawai'i, or, if they did, never got off the beaches to talk with any of the people who actually live and work there.

[CakeGrrl]

27. Another mouth-frothing racist screed

couched in lofty vocabulary.

It's that basic racist attitude - they're galled by the fact that a white woman bore a black man's child. It may have started out as another criticism of the bow, but he brought it around to what he REALLY hates about the President. Hopefully all that vitriol will eventually consume him from the inside.

[Jennicut]

29. Racism from the Washington Times, are any of us surprised?

[rebel with a cause]

35. The Washington Post is

a right wing rag.

[NYCGirl]

42. The article above is from the Washington TIMES, not the Post. NT

[rebel with a cause]

44. I meant the Times and not the Post.

Typo on my part and my apologies to the Post.

[newtothegame]

30. Uh, it was only, what, a week ago that DU'ers were referring to Ugandans as 3rd world trash?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x149305#149314

Hate defending Repukes but how are we any better?

[rebel with a cause]

36. You are doing the same as what those DUer did.

Generalizing a statement to a whole group when it was said by only a fraction of the group. I am a member of DU and I was not a part of calling Ugandans third world trash. Also, DU is made up of individuals on a web site and not a supposedly professional published newspaper which makes what happens there somewhat different from what happens here. :shrug:

[krispos42]

31. *ahem*

[butterfly77]

More racism but,,

we have to pretend that it isn't like always..

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

[Saboburns]

34. Shame he couldn't work in a jab about a teleprompter

Not even ACORN, Rev. Wright, nor Bill Ayers.

Not one mention of Soros.

This guy is a mere Amateur.

[akbacchus_BC]

58. yikes, you are so educated in politics, LOL

[rebel with a cause]

38. Oh wow, that makes it all so clear.

Like Obama's mother, I am a white woman who married a man from a third world country. I can't stand him now but I still find men other than white men attractive. Now I am not saying that I don't find white men attractive, only that I find men of other ethnic groups attractive also. How deviant of me!

That explains why my children are the way they are. Wait a minute! How are they? They were raised in a white society where they were never really accepted, they have no identity other than what I have given them. They are what I consider wonderful people who would not mistreat anyone because of who or what they are. They are respectful to others and of others feelings. They are hard working and each hold down jobs that are demanding. Yeah, us white women that find men from other countries attractive should be careful about having children. They just might grow up to be great people and maybe even the president of the USA.

[Cha]

43. Well, I'm extra glad that

Stanley Ann Dunham was attracted to Barack Hussein Obama Sr 'cause they had an amazing child who grew up to be president of the United States of America so this idiot at the moonie times could whine about it.

Sometimes it's just about the kids.

[rebel with a cause]

46. I couldn't agree with you more.

I discussed the multi-racial thing with Barack back in 2004 and he understood exactly what I meant when I talked about my kids and how they felt. I also told him what his candidacy meant to them and others like them. He was running for the Senate then but we all knew he was destined for the presidency. I don't know that he was comfortable with so many hopes pinned on him but...sometimes when you are in the limelight you have to accept what you mean to those that identify with you.

I loved Barack and what he stood for. I also loved the woman that gave him life and the people (grandparents) that loved him enough to sacrifice for his good because I understood what it took to give him the confidence he needed for what was ahead. I didn't know them then, but now I love Michelle and the girls also. Hoping that this all makes sense. :shrug:

[Cha]

47. Oh yes, it makes

perfect sense and I'm so happy you got to talk to him when he was running for the Senate!

I love them all too because I know what his victory means for our country and the Planet.

[rebel with a cause]

48. I volunteered for him here in the regional office.

I met him about eight times back then and made a real nuisance of myself when he came downstate. I had questions and wanted answers, had opinions and wanted them heard. I was in a mess and had no hope, needed hope really badly.

It was my first time working in politics in any way. Even though I loved our Paul Simon and Dick Durbin, I had never been involved in their campaigns. When Obama's name appeared on yard signs in our area, I said WTF. Then when I found out who he was from my kids and what he was saying, I immediately volunteered at the office they had just opened up. I worked as hard as my health allowed me to and learned to really believe in the man and what he stood for. My daughter and I volunteered some for him in 2008 also but I didn't do as much as in 2004 because I was busy with my big C at the time.

All I can say is that he better not let me down. He hasn't so far, and I don't expect him too. :thumbsup:

[Cha]

50. Thank you! It means so much to so

many peeps out here in this vast land.

Hope your C is in remission.:hug:

[rebel with a cause]

53. Been clear for one and a half years.

the hope is for at least five years: fingers crossed.

Thanks. :hug:

[Sinti]

39. Simple courtesy to the Japanese

but insufficient fealty to the Queen, give me a break. We're still stuck in the ME getting her BP that oil dontchaknow.

Namaste.

[PopSixSquish]

40. One of These Right-Wing Wackos is Going to Slip and Actually Call the President the N Word

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already...

[akbacchus_BC]

59. They cannot wait, trust me!

[retread]

41. Wish his column was printed on softer paper. I have the perfect use for it. n/t

[rebel with a cause]

49. Crumble it up and you can use it just fine.

Just don't try to flush it.

Grew up with an out house. :rofl:

[tanyev]

45. Gosh, what a shame the Washington Times is in such disarray right now.

Maybe they'll fold by the end of the month.

[Odin2005]

51. Ugh, what disgusting crap. God help us all.

:scared:

[Arkana]

52. I guess since the Moonie paper is about to go under they needed

something this over-the-top racist to get viewers.

[kwassa]

54. the endless racist attempt to make Obama into "the other"

"He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream."

Isn't that three strikes of Un-Americanism right there?

Far from the right-wing stream, if not from the mainstream.

[Cha]

55. Whatever transpired ..

it worked!:patriot::bounce::fistbump:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

56. Somebody tell these nuts about "hybrid vigor" and watch their heads explode. n/t

[akbacchus_BC]

57. Please give me a good reason why you posting this on here! I know

the shit or racism need to come out, but please, President Obama is the President of the US! I'll bow down to him anytime!

[Whisp]

60. I was going to ask that too..

why post that crap here?
there's enough stuff to jump up and down about. What's the purpose of putting this here? We all know there are crazies pushing the very edge of the envelope just for reactions we see here.
