1 Morning, Ace.  Stay up all night?

2 Hey, Romney went and addressed the NAACP.He was booed and applauded but more importantly he stayed on message................................................Next!

3 no, I stayed up all night Wednesday night into Thursday, then slept early last night (5pm!!!). So maybe now I'm on a normal clock. This is so annoying, but my body really, really is trained at this point to stay up until 5 am and wake at the crack of noon (if not later) so it's going to fight me on this new hours thing, as usual. But if I can keep it going for like three days, it'll take.

4 well i'd be grateful to lose my kitchen cabinets and all the tasks that come with kitchen work, now that i know it is racist in there.

5 " dumb about politics for the usual reasons someone would be kind of dumb about a subject -- because they don't care about it, don't read about it, and don't think about it"

Yes, and don't have any background in politics. No understanding of underlying history and no interest in acquiring any knowledge.

Would rather watch their latest NetFlix DVD than dream of surfing, say, the History Channel.  Are wrapped up in texting their BFFs and slurping down overpriced caffeine at $tarBuck$.

 Can't be bothered to read a newspaper, but watch TMZ videos? You bet.

6 Morning Ace. Although "mourning" might be more appropriate. This situation we've got on our hands with the occupier of the White House has produced a crisis which, if not remedied in November, could for all intents and purposes bring the country down.
He's nothing more than a Sharptonesque race-baiter  now, and there's no reason to think it won't get much worse if he's reelected.

7 LOLOL!

Kitchen also has another reference, black-related.  Black women often straighten their hair.  When the hair begins to go back to its natural state, the first of it to revert is usually the hair on the nape of the neck aka the "kitchen."

You're welcome.

These people are out of their minds.

8 Uh, what I'm hearing from the dopes around here is "Romney spoke at the NAACP convention, and they booed him! BAD Romney!"

9 What are you doing up Ace? Last night's hobo marinated in meth?

10 They fear Romney.

They fear for all of the blather about him being a part of the hated "rich," he comes off as genuine and common. People tend to connect with him and like him, even black people.

The simply can't have that.

11

What's to stop AG Holder from charging Romney with the felony charge levelled by Stephanie Cutter and keep him incarcerated until it can be thoroughly investigated, what with Romney being a racist and a rich flight risk and all? /sarc

 

The only thing is the risk it will be perceived to be politicization of the DOJ.  Been there done that.   At some point that risk will probably be outweighed by President Obama's risk of losing the election.  Seriously if the Obama campaign is are this negative and out of control now, how low will they go?

12 "But when it's obvious they're being lied to, in an especially crude and insultingly-obvious manner -- that, they don't like."

Ahh, but there's the rub. How to open the eyes of a 20- or 30- something who thinks the OWS crowd has "some valid points" as one Hipster proclaimed to me.

13

Ace posting this early? Wow.  Either he got his bag limit really early last night, or he is REALLY incensed by this race baiting bullshit.

The pathetic thing about the kitchen cabinet kerfuffle is I'd bet the farm that this radio idiot had no idea of the long history of the term.  ANd if Lil' Larry understood, he certainly wouldn't have the temerity (or bad liberal manners) to correct a "Black Man".

 

14 If this is the best they have, and it appears that it is, it's over. Romney wins 40 states. And that's what I've been predicting since March.

15 So last weekend when I mopped my kitchen floor, what was I really doing? *fear*

16 I don't think you open their eyes by hammering talking points that only diehard conservatives are clued into, ala "Hannity"

17 I'm all screwed up with a post by ace this early.  I don't know what to do....


I'll run in circles, that should fix it.

18 You present a Brand. And Optimism. And cheer and humor. You laugh at the desperation of the opponent, but in a dismissive way and go on to the next optimistic point.

Romney is getting better at that, but he needs to watch a lot of Reagan tapes.

19 Kitchen is racist but czars aren't the least bit odd? 

20 The word racist doesn't mean anything anymore. Once again the perpetually aggrieved has taken a serious meaningful problem and turned it into a punchline.

21

Romney should pull out a dictionary at his next campaign stop and begin reading.  "I guess you've heard the Obama campaign saying that the word 'kitchen' is racist.  So to clear things up, I'm going to start at the letter A.  Let me know how many of these words are racist."

 

If he rides this like a Scandi hooker and plays this for the utter, desperate joke that it is, he'll shatter the SCOAMF's glass jaw.

22 The JEF's is ready to come out of the Kitchen Closet.

He has Closets, no need for Cabinets.

23 I'm really getting a sense that if we can drag Romney across the finish line,
he will be a truly great President.

I didn't think this until I watched his speech to the NAACP and how he told it like it is, told it how he wants to do it and didn't pander.

He could have pandered mightily.


I think we are going to be alright with Romney.

24 Whenever I hear the word "kitchen" it feels like rape. Rape in the back of a bus in Selma, AL, while Bull Connor pummels my kidneys with a truncheon. The man is evil.

25 What got Obama elected in 08?  The Brand, and the stupid dolts who bought that brand)  They were buying Hope and Change. Didn't know what it was. Just knew it sounded good and optimistic and they liked that.

A 'cool' black guy saying that was cool too and provided Hipster points and Coolness points and Acceptance points to those who voted O.

26 Our little north-woods resort town is filled each short summer with vacationers and the weekend house owners.  The small native population is conservative and largely Republican, but the swelling of the ranks each July and August with those "summerers" that tip the scales way over so we are bright blue.

To leave my neighborhood each Wednesday, I have to pass the once a week "farmers market" setup in the parking lot at the arts center, where the hippie farmers and bakers and their buddies with harps and bongo drums set up to sell shit to the wealthy.  Yeah, bread at five bucks a loaf and heirloom tomatoes at five bucks a pound.  It's Whole Foods for a place with no Whole Foods store within a six-hour drive.

The parking lot will be filled with Toyota Pius cars with blue 2012 bumper stickers.  The smug and the stupid.

I wonder if their white guilt is feeling a little iffy now that they can see their god is just a sham, the most racially provocative slimeball on the planet.

27 And "spoon" sounds like "coon."

So watch it.

28 But I don't think they're dumb people, overall. I think they're just regular people who are kind of dumb about politics for the usual reasons someone would be kind of dumb about a subject -- because they don't care about it, don't read about it, and don't think about it.

What makes them dumb is that they have no core convictions upon which to base an opinion, or a vote - and they wear it as a badge of honor.

"I vote for the policies, not the person." is right up there with "The check is in the mail" and "I'll respect you in the morning" as the top lies of all time.

29 I remember hearing about Reagan's kitchen cabinet when I was a kid.

30 Wow, I wonder what they think about a lazy susan?

31 I must be working hard this morning. It appears, against all evidence, to be 2pm.

32 I'll run in circles, that should fix it.Posted by: Tami at July 13, 2012 08:21 AM (X6akg)

33 Wow, I wonder what they think about a lazy susan?

Pride

34 Good thing Romney didn't mention taking anybody to the woodshed.

35 There are sooooo many ignorant people out there.  I asked my next door neighbor what they thought of the Fast & Furious scandal.  They said "what scandal"

Good people, relatively conservative, but completely ignorant of what's going on with Hussein's regime and the crimes being committed.

When I explained, they were outraged, but thanks to a complicit DNC left wing media complex, the stories are spiked.

36

>>He singled out one African-American who came with the 20 in his entourage as an African-American that was in his kitchen cabinet in Massachusetts, and he promised that he would remain in his kitchen cabinet if he was in the White House.”

“To talk about being in the kitchen and not talk about an African-American actually being in your cabinet is really not a good metaphor to use with African-Americans,” he said.

 

Wow. I thought maybe it was someone so stupid that they didn't know the origin of the phrase.

 

But no, it wasn't Meggie McC.

 

"I listed to your advice and will continue to" is now racist.

 

FAIL.

37 So, if someone tells a woman to get back in the kitchen, they are being racist. Got it. Seems that the feminists are going to be pissed that race-baiters are encroaching on their well-marked turf.

38 Actually the term kitchen cabinet is closer to 200 years old. It was first used during the term of Andrew Jackson and has been in continual use ever since.

39 I know quite a few people who HAVE NO CLUE about what constitutes Left and Right positions in politics. (They have no clue about what constitutes the Constitution either, BTW)  But they choose who they vote for on feelings, on appearance, on that person's perceived wisdom and coolness as dictated to them by mass media and popular culture -- some news, movies, stand up comics, actor quotes, TV dramas and sitcoms and reality shows.

Which is where the Democratic Left has a HUGE advantage, having most of popular culture behind them or in lockstep with them (of course a lot of pop culture folks are useful idiots in this sense--they know not of what they speak).

40 So, yeah I think we've hit the tipping point. They have really over played their hand with this race bullshit.... the tea party and now this. I guess racial politics does work at some level, local perhaps, but certainly at the national level this is a big turn-off. ... at this point they are just making fools of themselves. It's just pathetic.

41

Romney should pull out a dictionary at his next campaign stop and begin reading. "I guess you've heard the Obama campaign saying that the word 'kitchen' is racist. So to clear things up, I'm going to start at the letter A. Let me knowhow manyof these wordsare racist."
<<<<

 

I think at some point, Romney's surrogates need to make a concentrated push in this area, along the lines of, "Ever notice how whenever you question Obama on his performance, his only response is that it's racist to point out his failures?"

 

At some point, he'll either have to back off this stupidity or double down on the racism angle, the possibilities of which I find DELICIOUS.

42

Erasing this racist word from our vocabulary will be an enormous project, but it will be worth it. All the artist's and actors who live there will be proud to announce that they come from Hell's Room-Where-Food-is-Prepared. And remaking all the literature and movies that take place in Hell's Room-Where-Food-is-Prepared certainly will create millions of new green jobs.

45 I just realized yesterday how desperate the libtards are.. Of course, they don't think they are desperate..  But they've nothing to bring to this fight..

Go over to Daily Kooks and look at the front page.. it's ALL about Bain.. when did Romney leave Bain? 199? or 2002?  Was Romney even vetted, they ask so concerned? They truly believe anyone but their own libtard buddies gives a shit.

And then the racism stuff..  and then they say Romney intentionally mentions "Obamacare" just to elicit boos from the "black folk"..


And I think.. holy crap!  They got nuthin!  Their candidate has turned into a race baiting little chump, who's getting more flippant each day on the campaign trail.  He's got no record..

Romney is just riding this summer out.. letting all this crap come and go.. and then, at the convention and after, he's gonna murder Obama with his list of failures.. Solyndra, stimulus.. all of it.  I cannot wait for the debate(s).

46 Mentioning Andrew Jackson, that's racist too.

"Racism" as a term has been transformed by the hard left and the mainstream media as any thought deviating from leftist orthodoxy.

You can make the point again and again, that you regard Tom Sowell as the leading intellectual in the U.S., or you admired the courage and leadership of Lt. Colonel West long before he became a congressman, or that (here in Texas) you grew up worshipping the Tyler Rose, respected Barbara Jordan for her intelligence and decency even as you disagreed with her politics, or believe Michael Williams is a great guy with great ideas.

Because those folks are not-Jordan the exception- the "right kind" of black persons, they are not accepted by the left as examples of "authentic blackness".  Tell me again who the racists are.....

58 Slaves used to also work in The Field. Stupid Bush.

Because they expect you to be in the KITCHEN??? I can't believe your own family is so racist.

Can we use Arabic to say "Obama is a SCOAMT?" without being called racist?

62 Posted by: TheLittlShiningMan at July 13, 2012 08:25 AM (PH+2B) So set up your own vendor and sell those smug and stupid the shit we eat anyways and claim it's all-natural. It's true anyways.

63 EoJ is spot on.  Can't you just see Romney at a debate with that earnest "aw shucks" manner looking at Obama in a confused way and asking, "Why is it racism when someone points out how your policies have failed?"

President Thin Skin will then proceed to lose his shit.

And it would be awesome.

64 This sort of thing insultingly assumes that the people hearing it have no knowledge or memory of their own history - not the nation's history, but that of their own lives.  When they bark that "Blacks worked in kitchens!   ergo...RACIST!!!" the non-indoctrinated think, "Yeah, and my mom worked in a kitchen.  And my grandma."  Generations of family working in a kitchen, and nary a black slave in sight.   More and more, the left is trying to invent a past for individuals that they can see, without even thinking hard, has never existed.  The country gets bigger, with more immigrants who never shared the history of the 19th century, and yet to these people, we're all Scarlett O'Hara being waited on by Mammy.  That was never true of more than a tiny percentage of the country even in the 1800s, and by now it's like the fairytales some cultures have, where the first members of the tribe were descended from gods.  Even popular culture left those cliches in the dust decades ago.  How far back do you have to go to find a sitcom with a black maid in the kitchen?  The Fifties?  I think June Cleaver did her own cooking.

65 FINISH HIM EoJ you are my inspiration.

66 Posted by: Hrothgar (CJSC Designated Serf) at July 13, 2012 08:37 AM (Cnqmv) That question is racist!

67 Kitchen is racist? So I'm gonna go out on limb and bet " Now go get your shine box" just might be racist also? Ya gotta get up pretty early in the AM to get anything past me

68 Do you want me to protest outside the dining room window? Posted by: Mama AJ at July 13, 2012 08:36 AM (SUKHu) Just order take out and get over it. Chinese would be popular. Besides, I hear they make a great uniform.

69 If I was president, I'd call my advisers the "low-rider posse," 'cause I'm just cool and shit.

70 It's funny how "kitchen cabinet" didn't appear in the Hot Air piece, and it didn't appear in any of the pieces linked to it. Excpet for one comment I read.

Yet suddenly it's the prevailing view of Democrats. No misleading information here, just "truth."

Or a giant turdball.

71 Ace - you've been mixing Vivrin and Red Bulls again, haven't you???

Solid work, as always

Choomer - more divisive than the War Between the States (aka: Civil War)

72 All this talk about racism is turning me into...a racist.  Sadly, if Romney manages to pull out the win, the headline will be:  "U.S. Not Ready for Black President".  That's my prediction.

I didn't think much could beat the stupidity of "Romney DELIBERTATELY got booed at the NAACP so he could appeal to white racists!" argument, but holy smokes, this takes the cake.

 

CRAP!  I think cake is a racist term, because people make cakes    in the kitchen.

 

DOUBLE CRAP!  I think the word crap is racist, because black slaves cleaned    out the outhouses     and middens,    too!

 

TRIPLE CRAP!   I think the term outhouse is racist because many slaves       didn't     sleep in the plantation house and had to sleep in houses    on the outskirts of the plantation fields, or "out houses."

 

OH HOLY SHIT I SAID PLANTATION.

 Sean Bannion at July 13, 2012 08:26 AM

Not to be too disagreeable, but I think you have that backwards.  What drives me insane is people who believe it demonstrates their erudition to make that claim- "I vote for the person....".  Bullshit, I vote for policy.  You can be white, black, Christian, atheist, even Mormon (sarc), and if you have convinced me that you will vote in congress or perform as chief exective to further my political views, you will have my support.  Now character issues are important, but I'll support a slovenly drunk who is genuinely conservative over a church-going pillar of the community that wants to expand government and increasingly redistribute my hard earned cash. 

100 I was going to make chili with black beans, but then I realized how insensitive that would be.  So was going to make the chili with red beans, but then I thought white beans but then I thought maybe just toast but I only had white bread.   So then I thought vegetarian, and started to eat some celery, but that was picked by ...,

Bottom line, I've stopped eating because of connotation overload!

 

101

I'm not getting the lefties point.  Obama's racial make-up, from what I've heard, is 50% White, 25% Arab, and 25% African Black.  So, how does some slave in America working in a kitchen apply to him?  He has absolutely no 'African-American' blood in him.

The left seems to be grasping.  All of those predictions from two years ago that the 2012 Prez election would be 'All Race All The Time' seem to be coming true.  The Dem-Lefties are grasping to paint everything as racist in order to help Obama.

102 You do have to keep in mind, however, that Obama could lose 60% of the non-black vote but yet still eke out a reelection victory. What Obama can't afford under any circumstances is for black turnout to wane. Hence the obvious and incessant race mongering. Obama needs heavy black turnout. To that end he's doing everything possible to gin up that turnout. It's quite likely to be successful, ironically enough. Obama's not all that worried about Independents. Or at least not adult Independents. Team Obama already has written off that demographic. It's understood that Romney will receive a solid majority. To hold down that margin Obama merely needs to gin up turnout among the college and grad student demographic, which will vote in lock step for Obama. Look for some sort of student loan giveaway as an October surprise of sorts. Ultimately the election largely will come down to the economy and job markets over the next 14 or so weeks and how they affect the Reagan Democrat vote. More disconcertedly, though, the election also likely will come down to exactly how many (millions of) evangelical Protestants stay home and don't vote because Romney is a Mormon.

103 Posted by: Alamo at July 13, 2012 08:50 AM (m/tN9)

I hear you, but my real point is that just about everything independents tell you about why they are the way that are is self-aggrandizing bullshit.

When you hear "independents" give you excuses for how they are politically, what
they're really saying is, "Who has time for that shit?  I have no beliefs.  I just pull any ole' lever."

I must admit, this is helping ME make my decision!

105 >I remember hearing about Reagan's kitchen cabinet when I was a kid.

At the risk of dating myself, I remember reading about Andrew Jackson's "kitchen cabinet" in an actual history text book in like the 5th grade or something. I know, I know, teaching American History is racist too.  I denounce myself as racist for even remembering it.

106 The word racist is racist!!!1!!

107 Personal opinion based on my half-century spent on this planet we call Earth....  I have found that those individuals that like screaming "racism", are usually the ones that are racist.  They don't accept people for who they are, but the first thing that they see (skin color/gender)... and eventually are the ones that let it slip about their biases.  And they are usually the ones that don't have a freaking clue about what MLK really stood for (you can put Rev. Al, Jesse Jackasson and member of any supremacist group as the ones that lead this group)

108 If Ace is posting before I get out of bed, I can take the time to read the whole thing, even if I never intend to see the movie.

109 How come liberals are the only ones that can hear "racist conservative dog whistles"?

110 7LOLOL!

Kitchen also has another reference, black-related. Black women often straighten their hair. When the hair begins to go back to its natural state, the first of it to revert is usually the hair on the nape of the neck aka the "kitchen."

You're welcome.

There's another new thread.

 

Really, I even checked the date.

114 Obama's racial identity is closer to white solve owners than to blacks with solve blood. This is a fact. The man's a fucking changeling

115 Most political argument nowadays is just an intense game of Political Trivial Pursuit. "Hey, I can rattle off a buncha newsy names and studies and shit. I am a Well Informed Voter." Or, "I can recite - in order - all of the talking points that have been circulating my partisan blog-o-sphere. I am a Well Informed Voter."

Bullshit. Forest and trees, dudes; disengaged is not the same as uninformed. There are other lives out there, and the political hacks should be damned grateful for them, because it isn't the political hacks who make the world go 'round.

116 Let's face it, the Dems think Obama should be running unopposed. The mere existence of a Republican candidate is racist.

The background color of this page is racist. Like the school that recently declared white paper to be racist, we need to start doling out "fines" to any website which uses a white background.

 

119 "I really didn't get this at first. But now I think: "Ah, slaves used to work in the kitchen." They also used to work in offices, so is it racist to say the Office of the Presidency?"

No Ace... it's racist to use the term "Office of the President-Elect"... remember that come this November.

Yeah we are on the same page.  I run into these people all the time.  They believe their claim of "above the fray" independent status is somehow a mark of intellectual distinction when it is exactly the opposite.  They frequently have almost no understanding of issues, the  science of economics confuses them, and they drift through political discussions without any core convictions.  That is why they proffer the "I vote for the person" argument, which is stupid on it's face.  The worst aspect of this status is that they are frequently the folks who vote based on what a "neutral" news source delivers to them, ala Brian Williams.  

121

122 I swear to respond to the word Racist as if it were the "n" word and I was black-

WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? WHAT? SAY IT AGAIN MUTHERFUKA!


It really is the new "n" word.  It tars and demeans the recipient.

Actually, I think the headlines will be a repeat of the "America threw a temper tantrum last night" garbage the left vomited out after Newt and the boys took over Congress.  There will be chin-scratching pieces about Americans having no patience and how we expect easy solutions to complex problems.  And a lot of clucking about "angry white men."

 

F'ng hacks.

Charlette Stoker Manning, a chairwoman of Women in NAALCP said, "I believe [Romey's] vested interests are in white Americans. You cannot possibly talk about jobs for black people at the level he's coming from. He's talking about entrepreneurship, savings accounts -- black people can barely find a way to get back and forth from work."

OK. So, saying the word "job" to a black person is racist. And don't you dare call a black person an "entrepreneur."

I mean, do you want to get shot?

125 Yes, because me being pissed about the House Republicans who are going to appropriate money & vote for the anti-bullying bill and being uncomfortable that Portman hasn't decided whether he supports the Law of the Sea Treaty or not is exactly the same as Libs who think Kitchen Cabinet is racist. Unless we accept "Republicans" who keep spending while mouthing platitudes we like to hear (and sometimes not even bothering to mouth the platitudes) we are exactly like progessives in every way. Really, we should just shut up about this whole conservative thing anyway and go with the Republicans so we don't sound like the Democrats I guess. Actually, there are more similarities between how both sides use the "True Conservative" and "Civility" memes: both can be seen as shutting down debate on principles & ideas among the masses, the discussion itself is identified as transgression and is criticized & mocked, etc.

126 If you want to attack the left effectively and exploit the weakness in language consultant George Lakoff's strategy, then the following should be considered:

1. Use the word 'racist' in everything to describe everything, rendering it impotent. "Well that's a racist dog." "My girlfriend didn't call until 11 last night... racist bitch!" Etc.

2. Redeploy and resignify the word 'racist' to mean something different. I'd suggest something impotent like 'sneaky' or 'dirty' as it is already beginning to bend in those directions. For instance, "You see they that video of the foobtall team faking a distraction when they snapped the ball and then running in for a touchdown? What a hilariously racist move!" or "Don't give me one of those racist looks again."

The key is to overwhelm usage with alternate signification. Language is socially constructed as the left understands, and enough repetitions on its new usage shifts its footprint of meaning. Lacking the scary sounding meaning that the Left has overprogrammed to infer evil white conservatives lurking behind the current meaning, a redeployed term would be strategically devastating while also helping get African Americans past the chip-on-the-shoulder stage. One-hundred years ago, central Europeans were considered dirty filthy non-whites. Poles, Czechs, Romanians, etc. Now they're just Americans. Same with Hispanics and Asians who become Americans. Only African-Americans continue to struggle and we can blame the Democratic machine that keeps them on the plantation, scared to death about fictions of Tea Party folk who are "racist" only so that blacks won't acculturate with the rest of us.

127 OK. So, saying the word "job" to a black person is racist.And don'tyou dare call a black person an "entrepreneur."

When Rush was talking about that woman's comments yesterday, I was gaping at my radio speakers and sputtering in disbelief.   I mean, the left has been implying that black people are stupid and lazy for YEARS.   But to actually    come out and SAY it -- and it was a black woman speaking! -- and not face ANY flak about it?  Holy SHIT they're brazen. 

 

I ended up yelling at the radio, "I'm sure the black entrepreneurs out there appreciate being called idiots, you stupid woman!"

128

IMAO 'independents' and 'swing voters' are morons.

What's been happening in the US political arena the last thirty years has been very important to everyone and instructive to those paying attention - which the aforementioned assclowns are not.

These mental midgets are too lazy to spend even a small amount of their time noticing what DID happen versus what the pols SAID would happen, or to take the slightest note of what has worked in the world of human events and government and what did not.

They are the 52% that elected a mysterious person of no proven background, no exampled experience of management skill, and no love for "America" to the most powerful position in the world where he instantly worked on destroying "America" in favor of a Marxist-redistributionist has-been nation of leeches (i.e., Greece).

129 Brings to mind  that lady who spoke to the president at that "townhall" a couple of years ago who said that she is tired of defending him and eating beans and weenies.

130 Remember when it was racist to not give a speech to the NAACP?  Good times, good times.  I'm adding kitchen, entrepreneur, savings account, 14% unemployment, and Obamacare to my list of racially charged words.

132 I think it might be more when they feel that the person lying to them does so in the firm belief that they are too stupid to realize they are being lied to.

Sort of like how folks feel when they've been scammed.

It's insulting that someone took advantage of them (their greed or stupidity) so they get a little extra indignant.

133 Romney?  NO NO NO!  Romney and Obama are the same, and we must vote for Gary Johnson or not vote at all to save the country!

134 The Race Card is the only thing that Obama can play.  It's the only tactic he has left. 

135 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

136 Not that anyone is reading this thread anymore, but given what they are already doing now, they will be threatening--if not actually doing--riots by the end of August.

Look at how the tin-pot dictators in the third-world hell-holes of Africa conduct their re-elections: Their supporters get more and more violent closer to the election.

And didn't the JEF campaign or support just such an individual in the Africa?

137 So the NAACP is upset because Romney doesn't think blacks are as stupid as the NAACP thinks they are?

===================

There is a magazine "Black Enterprise" (free subscription they send to me, pretty darned good read, actually) dedicated entirely to black "entrepreneurship, savings accounts," etc.

WTF is wrong with her? Is she saying ALL black people are poor?

Oh, right: Anything in service of her king.

139 You have to understand, people make whole careers in the Comm Dept. or Ethnic Studies Dept. at your local State U. analyzing words such as "kitchen". Favorite paper I read was how white people talking about "jazz" was racist, oppressive, patriarchical, yada, yada.

140 "Kitchen" is racist?  Harry Truman would be in so-o-o much trouble.  LOL

141

A strategy for Romney emerges. Tell the people:

 

1) He lying about me.

 

2) He's been lying to YOU. A LOT. About big, important things.

 

3) Oh, and BTW, he's been calling YOU "racist" all along, too, while being a racist himself (New Black Panthers, "Beer Summit", Treyvon).

 

I'd add the part about how he looted the treasury of almost a trillion dollars - for his commie supporters - while promising that it would create a job for you, calling it "Stimulus", but that takes too much explanation.

142 I propose Democrats unveil a pledge to never again use the racist "kitchen cabinet" code word. They should do it at their next Jefferson-*Jackson* day dinner...

143 As a follow-up--for someone on the left to criticize the use of the phrase "kitchen cabinet" while their party has a day named after the man in whose administration the term originated pretty much proves my belief that what passes as "thought leadership" on the left is the most shallow, most banal, most ill-informed, but most self-satisfied to ever have got itself into a position of power in England or America since, probably, the Elizabethan age. I mean, even if they believed in witches, at least educated Puritans of the 17th century could read Latin and Greek. Today's modern Democratic lay leaders can't even claim that. But they have plenty of theories about those with evil intent and how to prove their guilt, of that you can be sure.... Next thing you know, the left will be saying the only way to tell if someone is or isn't a racist is to tie his hands, throw him in water, and see if he floats...

144

I might suggest that you are somewhat wrong about Independents in general.  Maybe YOU don't stay up with politics but I and many of my friends are pretty well-informed.  We are Independent Conservatives.  Most of us used to be Republicans but we feel the Republican Party moved away from us in many ways, hence, we now have no party with which we can fully relate.  We like some of the stands taken by the Libertarians and some by the Tea Party but in reality, we also understand we as a nation, cannot regress to some of their more radical stands.  And, until Ron Paul came along, their choice of candidates generally has left a lot to be desired.  At least Ron Paul had a small chance and some good ideas and he wasn't afraid to stand up to the generally accepted "establishment".  I am quite certain, we will be able to accept Romney as our candidate.  Personally, I like Mitt.  I think he is a much more honorable man than Obama and he certainly is classier.  I don't think you'd ever hear Romney talk down about America in speeches in other countries and I don't believe Ann Romney would ever say "Now I can finally say, I'm proud of America".  Race or religion have nothing to do with my choice for president.  I would vote for Allen West any day and I think Condi Rice would make an interesting choice for VP.  Romney also has business experience, something which Obama and many in his cabinet are lacking.  Obama's lack of experience in foreign relations was very evident in his first visit to England and his "apology tours".  He embarrassed us all.  Well, enough.  Just don't sell us short on understanding the issues.  "It's the economy, stupid".

"Optimizer" is correct about the administration being racist.  You can add the website "Blacks for Obama" to his list.

145 Just proves how dumb 93% of blacks are. They are morons that can only repeat things others have said just like the parrot. That is the only thing they can remember about Romney's speech because these dumb a#### were there to hear anything they could play the race card on, nothing more. One track minds every last one of them. Don't bother to call me racist names. I am a think for myself person of color. None of this African American crap.
