a racist is someone who makes a living out of racial issues, like Keith Olberman

[papavalium]

LOL ODORMANN outs himself. Calling people racist when you don't like em....make you RACIST!!!

Just think if someone said he was "Articulate"..or "in the past he would be serving us coffee", or dang go "to 7-Eleven and you need to speak pakistani." Oh I guess none of these evil white guys was VP Joe Biden or Bill Clinton.

That's true, you got me.

But I wasn't aware of that saying having any racist connotations until I just looked it up.

You have just pointed out a true instance of irony.

Good work!

To be clear:

You, someone who is lecturing me on the need to be intelligent, and the evils of racism in "coded speech" has elected to use the phrase "calling a spade a spade" in the same posting as the name "Obama".

Geez, I love irony!

[FontanaCinemas]

I want to add the point here that I did not vote for Obama, nor do I support him.

But I call a spade a spade.

I voted for Ron Paul, and I would much rather have him as president.

But it is so transparent when these political people say what they say. It is so transparent.

It's actually scary how obvious their actions are.

I don't understand why they aren't afraid to be so blatantly racist.

I would much rather see a Republican ticket with some bipartisanship to boot. Ron Paul Dennis Kucinic 2012

Fontana:

I was willing to concede that you might have a valid opinion that Obama was not being arrogant, despite the belief of all those quoted and myself feeling otherwise. It is a difference of opinion on that matter. I watched the same speech you did, but had a different opinion of his attitude.

You cannot assign racism as the reason for my evaluation of his behavior because you do not know my heart -- or anything about me. I suspect you know as little about the others who commented.

@FontanaCinemas

Intelligent people think they can read minds?

[frednoname1]

@FontanaCinemas

LOL what do you think prayer is??

[FontanaCinemas]

You are incorrect, not all religious people believe god talks to them

Only the batshit crazy ones (i.e. BUSH)

[FontanaCinemas]

And intelligent people that can read between the lines understand that your judgments are based in racism, not in reality.

We can watch the president and know how he is coming off. Then you loony tunes can make up stuff all you want, but it isn't justified, and it isn't true.

Good luck to you!
