I never thought I would see this in the NY Times
Barack Obama, the former community organizer and part time US Senator, has money, no experience and name recognition. His introductory video is all serenity and hope, a deceptively calm way for many voters to meet a splenetic politician with a long history of slashing divisiveness and intolerance.
He refers to himself as a historian, but apparently his personal study of history has primarily taught him about the effectiveness of demagogy. Donald Trump, fiddling with birth certificates, is an amateur compared with Mr. Obama at sliming the GOP — as well as the TEA Party members, average Americans, long-standing foreign allied nations, and anyone who disagrees with him.
The Republicans, who won the House in 2010, including Conservative voters, are “Right-wing radicals†who lead an “extreme corporatist machine,†and suggests in a book that TEA Party members are “racists.†He accused them of producing “the greatest political corruption ever seen in modern America.†And then the inevitable historical coup de grâce: “”And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.â€
The slurs don’t stop there. He denigrated Americans who stand for the rule of law with a snotty “Or they’ll want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat.†He is promoting the fringe idea that Americans should be searched the same as Islamic terrorists, and supported an “Islamic Community Center (wink wink)” within the debris zone from 9/11.
…..Oh, wait, sorry, the Times was actually assaulting Newt Girngrich (who I’m no big fan of, to be sure, especially after that globull warming video with Nancy Pelosi), after he just barely announced.
Had me going man.. I actually did the unthinkable. I clicked and opened the link to find out for myself.
I know… c r a z y .. huh?
I was thinking, well, it could happen. I know it couldn’t come from the WA Compost. It could come from the Times since they just love outing presidents and exposing state secrets. But then I remembered,… that they only do that for Republicans.
On a serious note. We will not see a piece like yours ever from a MSM source. The fact that it has come out against NEWT already proves “our” point.
Bias anyone? Where was the Times when Obama was running exposing his lack of experience? Where are the attack pieces now over his pro-war\pro-interrogation\pro-assassination(heh) moves of late?
Are they just willing to let the killing of innocent babies slide since he is moving to stop oil production and clamp down on internet and personal freedoms of Americans?
I think we know the answer, don’t we Joey. We’ve learned how to use common sense.
