White House: Criticism Not Based on Race

[nightflight83]

lol

[yourmajezty]

its racism

[pentigram]

Just because you disagree with someone of a different race that doesn't make you a racist.

[aldernagon3]

Of course its based on race.

All of the protesters were white nazis.

[yourmajezty]

its racism. look at how he has a hard time saying its not about race. he even knows it,lol.

[aldernagon3]

I know

[kevinneslund]

No. It's based on global-warming., or, hey! I know! Bigfoot was somehow involved! Yeah! that's it! Bigfoot is behind this whole thing I tell ya!

[kevinneslund]

Of course. That's what is causing global warming and was behind the 9/11 attacks, etc. etc. ad nauseum.

"Auditing is a simple, thoroughly designed means, of concentrating the mind to the state of a controlled trance. The aim and result is progressively to enforce loyalty to and identification with Scientology to the detriment of one's natural awareness of divergent ways of thinking and outside cultural influences. Love and allegiance are more and more given exclusively to Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard."

[NordicCrossle]

Say that to the arabs who still enslave black people today.

[NordicCrossle]

When will blacks stop being racist?

[58HUSTLER]

It has nothing to do with race. Too few people cared to ask what the prez meant by "hope & change". Now that we see what he meant: Government Motors & nationalizing everything he can get his hands on while saying he as no desire to do so, & taking over the nations healthcare that will send our country into unsustainable spending, people are waking up & saying Whoa! It's people who care about the grand kids futures, & they are being called angry, dangerous & violent mobs. It's not about race

[wfhsteven1]

tranmere We send you Europeans all of our money so that your system won't fail. The rightwing mob you refer too is tired of our politicians doing this. You are just pissed that we are tired of this crap and have had enough. We cannot support ourselves let alone the rest of the world.

[wfhsteven1]

Obama was put into place to ruin the dollar. Just ask George Sorros. If the dollar collapses, he stands to gain plenty. United we stand devided we fall. Sorros is betting that we fall. Carter was a dodo head and with age is even a bigger one. Democrats have been hijacked by the far left. The far left needs racism to exist, so that we will stay devided. They are growing govt, just to gain control of the country. If we all work for a company that has no clue how to make money, who will pay you?

[tranmere789]

We europeans have socialisized healthcare. So have canandians and japanese. You can call us socialists or communists if you like. We spend 50% less money to healthcare than US-citizens and get better service. American studies have told it clear. But still your angry mob of crackpots are marching against reform. I call it simple idiotism.

The biggest cancer in USA is rightwing mob. They really need mental healthcare. And very soon. You can start from their preachers.

[tranmere789]

It's wellknown truth all over the world that bigger cities are more openminded and peripheries have much more backward folk. Better career opportunities mean more open society, while rural areas and dead towns more hatred. Think about why rural areas in Germany voted more Hitler than e.g Hamburg, Berlin, Ruhr or even Bavaria.

GOP main support come from backward of USA where hatemongering and fearmongering is more common than e.g in New York, Seattle or Frisco.Rightwing is full of white loosers.

[MSH786]

While Joe Wilson's "You lie!" comment may not be based on racism or racist thoughts, the fact remains that Wilson has had a shady past on racial matters in the past! Just one example of this would be his remarks to the black woman who stood up for herself and claimed to be Strom Thurmond's illegitimate daughter, which, by the way, turned out to be true!

[nkbhatti1987]

What does that even mean "to pull the race card"? Carter is simply pointing out something about the air of this country at the moment. Do you think he wants our country to act this way? Of course not, but he's the only person brave enough to call this spot on. If you wanna argue healthcare from a policy standpoint, that's completely fine, let's talk like reasonable adults. But when shouting and racist signs and comparisons to Socialism/Hilter take place, how can anyone take you seriously?

[letsthinkpeeple]

This is their way of saying oh shit our poll numbers and approval rating just fell off a cliff..... hmmmmm what can we do..... ahhh yes. Go get me that deck of race cards. RACISM. Come on its not that he's black its because the guy is actually not doing a good job filling the position. This is America we do better without government run everything that he can think of. Plus no one in congress is doing their job so the people have to stand up and let the gov. know somehow that they are screwed up

[Gosmner]

You like to pretend you know shit. Glen Beck is overtly racist. Glen Beck brought racism up by engaging in it. Quit whining when a president calls out the lunatics on it.

[BeantownJim]

So does this mean sitting in a pue for 20 years listening to Reverand Wright mean Obama isn't a racist?

[MrPrivyet]

Reverend Wright was right, USA is still a racist country.

[harveysuperboy]

Amen.

[411adrianne]

Of course he was right, he was the biggest racist in the country, he should know! that isn't a racist place, instead of teaching about God in his "church", he taught hate and racism. But explain how "reverend" wright was right. What drew you to that conclusion?

[MrPrivyet]

@411adrianne

I will tell you what. My own experience. I can understand Obama, I know how it feels, is hard to admit to myself that I was hated because of my darker skin. This is something that hurts you so bad that you want to deny it, if someone hates you for what you are, no matter what you do. This is something that touches you very deep inside and many of us try to avoid to face this reality. Nevertheless it is a reality and I hope Obama will have the strength to face it.

[411adrianne]

I am sorry that is what happened to you. I'm wondering 'who' hated you for your darker skin? A good friend of mine who is black tells me it is the blacks who discriminate against each other for having darker skin. If a white is racist, I think they would feel the same againts anyone of the race they don't like,regardless of the shade or how light they are.. But I have always heard that blacks practice racism against each other depending on skin shade.

Not fair accuse innocents of racism.

[MrPrivyet]

Again, it's hard 2 admit 4 victims of racism that they r victims of everydays racism. It makes u crazy if u don't turn a blind eye 2 this racism, 2 the kind of scornful looks, if u don't get deaf 2 their hateful speech, if you don't reach a state of being numb. And no, my dear, this never happens 2 me when I'm with black people but with white people. The opposite is true, there is a feeling of brotherhood, of a shared identity among black people I miss so much when I'm with white people.

[411adrianne]

I think you are being paranoid. If you feel you get scornful looks and all these things. I don't know any white people that going around behaving this way, but I do know that they are accused of it anyway, and to always 'feel' white people are this way, your brain is trained to 'see' it happening, even though it isn't. Not saying it never happened, but I do believe alot of this is in your head. And I also know for a fact that blacks discriminate against others depending on light/dark skin.

[sincere2da]

PLEEEASE but Obama needs to stay away from it so this is the right move

[Gosmner]

President Carter is a great patriot. He speaks truth to the republican repukes. The racism exhibited by the tea baggers, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh is unmistakable. Its time for all true patriots to condemn the repukes for their despicable racism. This will be tough since the repukes when called out for their racism have the vile strategy of accusing everyone but themselves of being racist. However what the repukes don't count on is that Liberty, Freedom and the Truth are on our side.

[letsthinkpeeple]

Carter shouldn't have even been given a job as a grocery bagger let alone the president. The guy is border line retarded. You would believe its all about racism. How is it that there is a black president then??? The others you talk about are standing against the bull shit that is going on in congress right now. Nobody wants socialized healthcare. It doesn't work anyway. Seems that you must not like being on the other side of the fence now do you?

[Gosmner]

You are entitled to your own warped opinion but not to your own facts. America is ranked 37tth in health care. Repukes who whine about Canada's and England's health care never tell the truth that Candida, England and most every Industrialized Nation with "socialized" health care is ranked much higher than the US. US is on par with Dominica, Costa Rica, and Slovenia. P.S. You need to get a new handle.

[terryfordzim]

Obama is backing off the racist charge because he is afraid that calling a cracker a racist is beginning to lose its potency in America. Day was that it would destroy a man's life to be called a racist, but NOW with Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and that white cracker on the bus in Illinois all being "dissed" with the whole of the Mainstream Media rushing to defend THE PERPETRATORS of those offenses, ...well its just getting hard to get a multi-cultural mob together to hang Joe Wilson for calling a

[wfhsteven1]

wtfoof, J Carter the bafoon knows what is in every crackers mind. According to all you loony libs, any person that disagrees with your retarded views means that person is a racist. That is all you people can say because you have no basis for an argument. Why argue when you can't win? Carter really is STUPID.

[Dianelilli]

Obama is half white. He is not just black. How can anyone even try to play the race card here?

[snoops71]

What else is Obama going to say? If he publicly said yes it is, there would be an even bigger mess.

[OliverPeterful]

All it does is to remember that Obama is black. This tactic is going to back fire the liberals or the media for pulling this game. This inly hurst Obama and the black community to open this wound that was closed long time ago.

[endturn]

he just stated that president obama doesnt believe its racism you illiterate bum

[ruppertknickerbocker]

Carter& Obama are playing the race card as a means to manipulate the public into allowing their bad policies. It will backfire when the communist policies fail.

[highazgaz]

obama dont want to be labeled as a "race baiter" so he is smart not to speak on that...... but wait until his term is up, you will see all the hatred and the danger he faced.

[wtfoof]

And we can trust your opinion because you are open minded right? FUCK OFF you anti-Semitic FUCK!!!

[puppiesrule709]

Jimmy Carter,,,,,,,what dirt bag liar,,speak for yourself you dont know your guessing trying to start a race war,,I dont want gov health because I dont want a fine up to 3800 dollars for not having it,or taking all day in a waitting room and much more

[1BMWmech]

This is the first intelligent thing that Gibbs has said.

[HKBM45]

You know I dont like Obama's policies, his cult like following, or the direction he is taking this country.

But I respect him a great deal for always having class when dealing with issues like this. I am tired of hearing old white democrats pulling the race card and calling all dissent racism. It is beyond old, and entirely unfounded. The president is above that, and he realizes that some people dont like the things hes doing, and I think hes been respectful of that.

[TheYoungTurdz]

I hear ya!!

[JustA1337Gamer]

@HKBM45 He brought in previous administration. I don't respect the fact he can't take responsibility for anything and always plays devil's advocate.

[renadewalt]

Even though you are white racists, you didn't REALLY believe that Obama could institute the change we need in the FIRST YEAR of his presidency, did you? Especially since you've all been trying to stop him at every turn?

And how on earth did you actually think all of this would take just a few months to repair?

You Obama supporters, liberals, republicans, democrats, and all the rest: the key to real change sits with you. You don't want change. You want death. You are afraid of life.

[wtfoof]

Obama CAN NOT come out and agree with Carter even though Carter is RIGHT! He CANNOT call the cracker "CRACKER" without creating more problems. If you call Obama a socialist, you need to look up socialism otherwise you are a racist, If you think Obama is a Communist look up communism, if you don't think you are racist look up RACISM!!!!

[puppiesrule709]

SHUT UP wtfoof and get a job, Obama is half white he has black an white roots dumazz CARTER IS STUPID AND SO ARE YOU

[wtfoof]

Nice response fuck wad!!! So do you think Obama is a Communist? How about a Socialist?? Are you a fucking little coward that can't admit he's racist? There is nothing wrong with being a racist unless you care what other people think of you.

[wfhsteven1]

Obamas Mama was white.

[wtfoof]

Get a job?? I own 3 businesses and employ 50 people.

[wtfoof]

GET a job??? Where do you work in the high school cafeteria???

[Docthewrench]

OBAMA is a LIAR yes i am a racist I cant stand idiot humans like carter his people owned blackies so carter is quilt by being born. LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR OBAMA not 1 cent it will cost and now it will cost 875 billion LIAR LIAR LIAR

[Mistuhbig]

Hey Docthewrench, I would love you to say that to a Black man's face mano a mano. That is the best way to test if your health coverage works. Are you paid up?

[Docthewrench]

I lived in Detroit and I always had a half dozen monkeys jump my ass and I always walked away. mano a mano means nothing to me please And yes I havea left wing black man living next to me and next time I see him I will call him a liar to his face the ape is 3 times my size and i bet he does nothing and if he does he puts his life into his hands. To bad his wie works for the FBI and i bet he is under a hardness lol But he is a racist. his racism makes me look like a noob racist

[Erik93022]

when the fuck will we the people know the truth behind every fucking move these stupid fucking idiots are making????? were letting dumb motherfuckers lead us as Americans, well you know what i say if we are going through the recession why do people in Govt. still order hookers??? why do they get richer while people become poor???? wtf is going on with our world its falling apart for all of us and we the people have never done a thing on purpose to harm our contry, yet politicians will continue..

[high8us]

White people..dont send your kids to Black schools...

Black people....dont eat at CRACKER barrel....

[jerdeb4evr]

This Bozo is as qualified to speak as Obama is to Lead

[rab2591]

Obama's signing of the Patriot act, or his support of FISA, or his support of NAFTA, or his troop surge to Afghanistan. Or the surge of mercenaries he is going to be sending to Iraq, or the corporate bailouts, or the stimulus...this is why people dislike him. Playing the race card was the dumbest thing the democrats could do. This was their last ditch effort to discredit the people who see the stupidity of wasting another trillion when our country is economically going down the tube.

[treid100182]

YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Most idiotic people I know, who voted for McCain said simply: "I aint voting for no Nigger."

It is obvious that the opposition is Based on Racism!!!

Why else would Americans oppose someone who is trying to help them?

The Right-Wing is relying on this racism to get elected in 2012, duuhhhhh!!!!!!!

[Airportchris2]

Obama is not trying to help anyone, he is driving this nation further into debt.

I am not a left or right wing person, I am what's called "apolitical" which is the apathy and/or the antipathy towards all political affiliations. Being apolitical can also refer to situations in which people take an unbiased position in regard to political matters.

I would be against any president that would bring up such policies, I was against Bush for all the shit he started.

[kimscion]

It is ignorant to think that people who don't support Obama are racist, it's too easy and you know it.

[jerdeb4evr]

Wrong. What that means is that the people you associate with are racist, and self admittedly idiots. Before you drag everyone into the sewer you call home you should get out , make some new aquaintances. I understand your shopping cart stops at the edge of the parking lot. Let go, you can make it without it. It will be waiting for you when , if, you find your way back.

[bigjstokes]

The White House is trying their best to take the high road on this.

[zoopu]

carter is now senile and should stop making public comments that embarrass everyone involved.

[gregapage]

Not from politicians but from commentators and right-ring public it definately is!!!!!

[Airportchris2]

Ummm, no it's not. I could care less his skin color, if this was McCain, or any other person, I would still be against the policies, regardless.

[gregapage]

Right wing commentators are well racist. Please watch the following link by TheAmazingAtheist:

watch?v=VTFmPXJNLs0

[Airportchris2]

If it's by TheAmazingAtheist I assure you, I have seen it.

I have no doubt some people are viewing this as a racial thing, but the majority are not.

[jerdeb4evr]

Incompetent people come in all race creeds and colors. This particular incompetent happens to be 1/2 black 1/2 white and of questionable birth country, religion and experience. Other than that the only problem is his peculiar associations, an elitist attitude and socialist mentality. Oh, and his predisposition to lie. I think that is it. But, I do not know him well, so there could be more.

[Airportchris2]

Yes, but Obama is working for the same agenda as Bush was, and those before him, to whenever this actually began.

Obama is the NWO front man and be people are realizing that, he is losing all support and his approval rating is dropping like a rock.

[unillenium]

I was about 47/53 against obama, but in light of his calling Kanye a jackass my approval of him is now up to about 55/45.

[Peachrules]

Good! Now stop calling me a racist because I disagree on some of the President's policies. This is one of the worst tactics to shut people up and keep their opinions to themselves that I've seen in a long time. I remember this black lady went on FOX News and she was pissed that everyone played the race card. I forgot who she was, but she was funny :P

[Airportchris2]

I agree, I could care less his skin color, if this was McCain, I would still be against the policies, regardless.

[jitzai]

Yay for Obama not being like other politicians and the media!

[omglolwtffffff]

first
