Rep. Jenkins: GOP looking for "great white hope" - Yahoo! News

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told a recent gathering in northeast Kansas that the Republican Party is looking for a "great white hope" to help stop the political agenda of the Democratic party and President Barack Obama.



Whether you agree or not....either way this cannot help the perception that a great deal of the GOP discontent with Obama is race based.
 
There's no reason to be discontented over Obama race when he's done such a terrible job thus far. There are far more important and pressing issues to be discontented with Obama.

I'm not saying that I disagree. As much as I support Obama, I would be lying if I said that I am 100% in favor of the job he is doing, probably for different reasons than many. I wish Obama would grow a little bit more of a spine and use the political capital he was given in the election and stop trying to appease the right-leaning moderates.

That said...there is still certainly a big perception that a large part of the discontent has little to do with policy and more to do with race...and comments such as this add fuel to that fire.
 
Obama has been in office for 8 months.

Bush was in office for 9 months, and what happened?

If Obama allows a major terrorist attack that leads to two wars and an economy in recession, then I'll consider that he is doing a "terrible job" but the last president set the bar pretty low.
 
but the last president set the bar pretty low.

And Obama's done near nothing to raise it.

Still in Iraq?
Secret prisons?
Torture?
Domestic Spying?
Rapid expansion of government?
Rapid expansion of debt?
More intrusive government?

Yup, all the things I didn't like about Bush, still around in a different packaging. Way to maintain the status quo Obama!

So this is race based, but Obama calling whitey typical racists is not?

His attack on sgt crowley was not?

His referencing to "not looking like the other canidates" not?

Sitting in a racist church not?


Please, This statment by one republican was stupid and race baiting, just as obama's statements were.


Niether represent the beliefs of either party....


Ok, now lets here the excuses how the same is different counselor. ;)

Obama is withdrawing troops from Iraq, closing Gitmo, ending torture practices, etc. Those are pretty weak arguments.

That was a stupid thing to say and of course, we'll have to wait for the wash to come out and see if it's exactly what he said, because we know how things can get twisted in the Libbo media.

There are plenty of reasons to hate PBo, besides the color of his skin. there's no doubt he would be just as ****ed up, if he were white.

We're not withdrawing from Iraq, closing Gitmo...opening another? The option for secret prisons was kept open. Torture practices were kept the same as the Bush admin.
 
When you hear crazy protester call Obama a Socialist/Communist/Facist = Code Language for the N word.

Or perhaps it just means Socialist/Communist/Facist

And if we say it about Nancy Pelosi it's code for, "cracker"? Or, "honkey bitch"?

If PBO wasn't black, he would be undefendable...:rofl
 
Not a chance.

Not one sliver of a chance.

You found us out! Saw right through us, by God! We all hate PBO because he's colored! No use in worrying about being polite, anymore. Is it?
 
And what led you to that conclusion?

Because half of PBO's skin color is the only thing that Libbos can use to defend his stupidity.

I hate the white half, BTW.

Wrong.

They call Obama a socialist with aboslute disgust in their tone.

They call him a fascist with absolute disgust in their tone.

They call him a communist with absolute disgust in their tone.

I'm still trying to figure out how the President can be all three political stripes at the same time, given that its impossible, but hey, thats ok.

What they really want to say is he is a (insert N word here)!

But they can't. So the crazies choose to call him a socialist, communist and fascist at the same time.

Absoluetly a great deal is race based. Those anti health freaks that show up at the health finance town hall meetings and "cry" and shout that "I want my country back" are basicially motivated by racism. What they really want to say but it would expose their true colors is what my neighbor says " we need to take our country back from that "N1234567er " . My neighbor also went to as many tea bag rallies as he could and told me back then that "the N12334456ER" MADE MY TAXES BIGGER". The racist idiot neighbor was talking about our local town taxes but he has no concept that local property taxes have nothing to do with 'Bama but what the hell he watches Fox News and thinks that Saun Vannity is a "news man".

We need to get our country back from idiots like my neighbor.

I say it with disgust, because socialists, facists and communist are disgusting.

You are talking to a stone wall because the idiots running loose out there who call everyone they don't like or understand do not know what a "socialist, communist or fascist" is and do not know what the diference between the three are. The sad thing is that one or two of them will be along right here on this board and use those terms posting and they know not of what they speak !!

If i wanted to call PBO the 'N' word. I'd use it.
Who needs fascist?

Besides, as i said. Could it be just because people think he is all those things?

Stop watching FOX news.

Of course you do.

Because we all know Obama is somehow, someway, a communist, socialist and fascist at the same time.

Maybe on planet apdst thats possible.

Not on Planet Earth.
