This is so obvious the liberals will still deny it
Why do people still bring up the KKk? There's more blood gang members in this country than the Klan.

Of course there has been obstruction, but to claim it's due to the President's race is to ignore that there are plenty of legitimate reasons to disagree with his positions. Aaron seems to think all of these Republicans are just KKK members without the hoods, a ridiculously ignorant statement. But really, I couldn't give half a **** what Aaron thinks about politics, so I'm going to step out of this "daily Republicans are racists thread" and go find a "daily Christians are the worst thread" to have some fun in...

Ever been (or done it yourself?) in a group where a person wants to refer to a black person and first looks around (180 degrees) then whisporss to you "a black guy"
Even worse than blatant face to face racism (racism is a term I think should be used defining institutional policy) is the unapologetic covert exploitation of of Obamas race.
We here have discussed welfare, ACA, Food Stamps etc etc etc and underlying EVERY DOMESTIC policy discussion is race.
Who gets food stamps.
Ace, let's go back to a discussion on why South Carolina education rates are so abysmal. There were Chop Country posters that wrote it is because they have a huge black population in SC. then in the next post type they have black friends- Ben Carter Bill Cosby . You know "the good ones".
AA ever heard the joke about the black surgeon in Alabama?

But you know, the real funny thing about what Aaron said was? It really isn't about race. It's about the EPA and other regulators of big business rather than little ole Steppin Fetch It 's Baby Momma getting $100 of Food Stamps.

I love how in one sentence you say "if it was still socially acceptable" and then another sentence say that we haven't come very far…

So, it's not socially acceptable anymore... And we haven't come very far from then.

He sees the game better than the rest of us because he's lived it long enough to know that once you get past the smiles and the handshakes, very little has really changed. Henry knows that if you wait long enough and say a little of the truth, the face behind the mask will reveal itself, just as it did Tuesday night. He's not going to accommodate you.

Not really sure why it's so hard for some to just admit it was a dumb comment as quoted. It was what it was.
If his point was that racism still exists and he just misspoke then that's great... he told everyone what we already know. But his words as quoted were incredibly moronic as it painted those who oppose Obama with an absurdly broad brush.

While I don't think every member of the Republican Party is racist, there have been some instances of coded language used to rile up the base.
Prime example is the GOP Primary Debate in South Carolina. Gingrich used the term "Food Stamps President" and it caught so much steam.
There's no question IMO the "Food Stamps President" phrase was just him saying "Look at this guy giving all of these poor black folks MORE welfare money via Food Stamps". Let's face it, the majority of people will have a negative reaction when they hear the term foodstamps, and a lot of people will generally think about the black welfare mom with 5 kids on foodstamps buying lobster (I hear that every other day).
Some will say he didn't mean it that way, he was just pointing out that BO has the highest number of people on foodstamps. Gingrich lived in the South, he would know coded language in the south better than most people. That huge ovation he got when he called BO the Food Stamps President was him playing the race card and he knew it. The reaction of that crowd in SC wasn't "YES HE'S THE FOOD STAMPS PRESIDENT!" it was "I'M SICK OF OBAMA GIVING OUT ALL THESE FOOD STAMPS TO THESE LAZY BLACKS WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK".

The "we just disagree with his policies" thing is so overplayed.
Because after that you start getting the juicy stuff like muslim socialist nazi dictator. That's when the true colors come out from the idiots on the right.
I think most of you here are reasonable on stuff like this, but I'm not speaking about you I'm speaking about the tone set by others in your party.

That was also the debate Perry scored points because Obama and Panetta wanted to punish the guys that pee'd on the corpses. Perry somehow turned that into "Obama disrespects our military like no other President in history" or something along those lines and it got a huge ovation from the crowd.
I think Gingrich's Food Stamps line was by far the biggest ovation in that debate.
Yes because the great recession where people lost jobs and the fact many people took pay cuts had absolutely no correlation to the rise in food stamps.
Perhaps in 2008-2011 (and I'm giving you a broad swath to be generous). We're still seeing exponential growth in the program, which you can't possibly try to (still) blame on the recession?

I mean if this is your evidence then you really have no argument. Even I can probably come up with something better than this. Google that shiiiiieeet.
So what did Newt say that wasn't correct? Are more people on welfare under Obama than any other president? I don't see any racism in what Newt said.
Btw. The black mom with five kids buying lobster is a legit stereotype because that ****s real. Go drive by a government subsidized apartment complex and count how many nice suv's you see in the parking lot. You'd be amazed at the number Than count how many people you see standing/walking around that complex during normal 9-5 work hours. Ask yourself why aren't they working ?
Go walk into a walmart on the first and tell me that there isn't widespread abuse of the EBT system.
There are truths to stereotypes. That's why they exist.
