If there’s any benefit to the big O being president, it’s that these epithets of racism that used to send the right into fits of cowardice are no longer working.

Barry has begun moving us towards a colorblind society – just not in the way he intended.

Soooooo, well done Mr. President.

To add to add: And the only African-American journalist at MSNBC, Al Sharpton, called Biden out for being a racist, no Mitt, BTW… – right2bright on August 28, 2012 at 11:57 AM

You call Al Sharpton a journalist. I just puked.

To add: I wish Newt had looked around and said “I don’t see any African-American’s working for you”, there are fewer African American’s on your network than most any other network. You talk a big game, but you don’t walk the talk.”

Yes. Double yes!!

P.S. I want to see Sununu crush Chris next. LOL

Nice! Of course, that will only be likely to happen if Chris Tingles appears on someone else’s show, and John happens to put in an appearance.

Chris was admittedly dopey for giving Newt the opening, but he’d have to be a blithering-jivering moron to invite Sununu on! Ain’t gonna happen! He’ll remember what John did to Soledad O’Lyin’!

And if John were somehow invited by Chris Tingles, the former Governor would probably bring the bumper sticker along with him this time, and apply it himself! Nice to think about, huh? Heh!

It’d be more dignified for both of them if Gingrich just got up and left.

Better yet, never agree to appear on Tingles’ show in the first place. Why bother showing up on a show where you will be called a racist no matter what you say?

No and no!

Refusing to confront openly vile, race-baiting jerks like Matthews has been a tactical mistake that Republicans have made for years and years. Good for Newt for getting right in his face and calling him out for it.

Getting right in Chris’s face and then actually turning it around and calling him the racist, is exactly what little Mr. Furrowing feeling in his leg had coming to him. Everyone with the opportunity should do the same to him.

Newt did exactly what many of us have wanted to see for years.

How does Matthews get away with calling Gingrich’s smile “diabolical”–would he say that about the smile of a Democrat, or a Hispanic or black guest?

Obama himself is contributing to the idea that food-stamp recipients are black–the Administration is running ads where one black woman encourages another to apply for food stamps for better nutrition! Now Matthews is trying to blame this stereotype on white Republicans, who have nothing to do with the Administration’s ads!

We’ll never get past racism until those that yell racism stop doing so and hold people accountable for themselves and not the color of their skin.

So yes, Newt is right. Matthew’s IS THE RACIST.

Obama is referred to as ‘black’ or ‘African-American’. Why does the left choose to de-emphasize the mother and instead emphasize the father.

If the left truly wanted to illustrate their lack of a war on women, they would emphasize his mother and call Obama ‘white’.

Thoughtcrime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, thoughtcrime is the criminal act of holding unspoken beliefs or doubts that oppose or question the ruling party. In the book, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects.

Being critical of Obama or Democrats in any way is now a thoughtcrime. Do you think that there are too many people unemployed and on food stamps? Thoughtcrime! Do you think that someone should have to show I.D. In order to vote? Thoughtcrime!
