So opposition to Obama was based on policy and wasn't racist?

[Ladoga]

As I thought, you’ve got nothing. Again.

You misunderstand slightly. I decline to bother showing you anything because, as you well know, you are not worth the effort.

 

[NPT]

Here’s your statement that I responded to:

If conservatives had called Obama half the names the left calls Trump on a daily basis the left would contribute ALL of it to racism.
​

So your claim is straight out of your imagination about what liberals would do. It’s not just vacuous whataboutism, it’s imaginary vacuous whataboutism. You disregard what’s actually send and done, based on what you imagine liberals would say if the roles were reversed. This would be an irrelevant diversion even if your cartoonish take on the left were valid.

If I drop a hammer I don't need to see if fall to know that it did fall so I don't need an imagination to know what would happen. I've seen conservatives call racists over and over just because the liberals didn't agree with their position.

I take it you don't see that merely repeating yourself isn't responsive to my posts.

I do not keep files of posts from this board. I do not have the documents. I remember you being a raging nasty person who used the race card 2nd only after Jesse Jackson and some of your local nasties. Posters here see you and Goat ad those who serve under your command use ugly innuendo and outright name calling on a regular basis. That you deny it is sicker than sick.

For the record, when I never respond to any of your nonsense again, it's because you've made my ignore list.

Nope. Kieth Ellison was promoting himself for DNC chair in May and June of 2017. In a thread where I commented about that is when you called me a racist, it wasn’t a joke and it wasn’t two years ago. If you remember two years ago then you have called me a racist twice.

Sorry, but you must have me confused with someone else. I just went back and looked at deleted threads from the time period. I can't even find a post where either you or I mentioned Ellison during those months.

You called me a racist just as I said. I don’t give a crap about what you remember.

Whatever. Believe what you want.

 

[Lucy01]

Whatever. Believe what you want.

You called me racist in a private message conversation!

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

Wait, you get private message privileges? How do I get into this IC?

That's the first excellent thing you've ever done here.

You still exercise mod powers to see deleted threads? Thought you quit. So with powers you sneak around doing mod stuff AFTER you resigned?

Yelling racism is always a good fall back position when you really don't have an argument. If conservatives had called Obama half the names the left calls Trump on a daily basis the left would contribute ALL of it to racism. I never have or would consider the race of a person in determining whether I supported their policies. That's like supporting a certain baseball then hoping all the minorities on that team strikes out when batting.

Did you even READ the OP I posted? Or are you separating "conservatives" into 2 distinct types,the common conservative racist types and the tv talking heads?

Because all you have to do is read a portion of what was said over the initial month of Obama's Presidency.Just the single article I posted is more than enough to know that Obama was not only called "half the names the left calls Trump on a daily basis" (+ the RACIST element missing from the trump criticism) but also that people ACTED on those racist feelings.

These are established facts,and they all occurred prior to the article which was dated FEB 2009, a month within the Inauguration.And dollars to donuts the same folks making these racist statements and committing blatant racist acts (described in the article), are some of the people who get on internet forums every day and with a straight face make posts blaming Obama for worsening racial tensions in the US.I mean I've actually seen avowed White Supremacists and Neo Nazis make that claim...

No need for White Supremacists and Neo Nazis. Those claims have been made right here, numerous times.

Yeah I was just pointing out how cynical those posts made here actually are...

I’ve been reminded numerous times that racism was all but dead in this country until Obama was elected.

Bunch of racist idiots. They’re using some of the same props used by the anti-Bush protesters too. Hanging him in effigy and putting him in stocks were fairly popular. Of course that doesn’t make those protesters racist, just idiots.

Yea, I remember that happening...in the Middle East. Not in our front yard.

It happened right here in the USA. Many times. The American protesters did have that in common with some in the Middle East.
