Northwest Indiana Discussion

Comedian D.L. Hughley says he has great affinity for the current president of the United States, Barack Obama. The 49-year-old television star, talk-show host, and now author believes Obama’s introduction of the Affordable Care Act was one of the most crucial bills passed by a president during his lifetime. But it’s not all love between Hughley and Obama, as the comic explains in his new book, I Want You to Shut the F#ck Up: How the Audacity of Dopes Is Ruining America. The former host of CNN’s D.L Hughley Breaks the News holds little back as he uses humor and savvy to describe the impact of the first African-American president, Tea Party tactics, and exactly how President Obama should and could have stopped the right-wing push-back before it ever began.

HUGHLEY: I think he was surprised that the right wing would actually let this country fall apart just to get the black guy out of office. I don’t think he realized how we as a country have not gotten that far race-wise. White people are cool with black people at work, living in the neighborhood and having a few as friends. But let someone black marry their daughter or let a black man run the free world and you see the real feelings. I think Obama thought everyone would come together for the good of the country. He believed that people are basically patriotic. They are until there’s a black head of state.

Well folks, here it is only 2011, we haven't even had a primary yet, and the dims have nothing left to run on except The Race Card.

And since they are pulling the card out so frequently these days, this thread will be devoted to the hundreds if not thousands of bald faced lies guilty white liberals are about to endure for the next year out of these racist idiot democrats.

recap



todays rant

calling an inexperienced and incompetent black person ''angry'', is now off limits...

Damn right is.
When you require an 80 year old grandma without a drivers license who has been a registered voter in the past to all the sudden produce PICTURE ID, that indeed is voter suppression.

Requiring a birth certificate that does not exist or a drivers license to get a picture ID is voter suppression.

WaPo Sees Vast White-wing Conspiracy
in Tea Party Groups Exercising Legal
Right to Poll-watch
Newsbusters, by Matt Vespa

If you're a conservative poll watcher on Election Day, you're probably a racist! That's essentially the charge leveled in an August 25 Washington Post-published article by AJ Vicens and Natasha Kahn of the News21 Carnegie-Knight Initiative. Entitled, "True the Vote and other poll watchers motives questioned," Kahn and Vicens opened their article by noting the paranoia of a Milwaukee voter creeped out at the fact that there were three white poll watchers at her mostly-black polling precinct on the recall election day a few months back:

As Jamila Gatlin waited in line at a northside Milwaukee elementary school to cast her ballot June 5 in the proposed recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, she noticed three people in the back of the room. They were watching, taking notes. Officially called 'election observers,' they were white. Gatlin, and almost everyone else in line, was black. That’s pretty harassing right there, if you ask me, Gatlin said in the hall outside the gym. Why do we have to be watched while we vote?

Two of the observers were from a Houston-based group called True the Vote, an offshoot of the Houston tea party known as the King Street Patriots. Their stated goal is to prevent voter fraud, which the group and founder Catherine Engelbrecht claims is undermining free and fair elections.

Did I miss the conspiracy here? What is so evil about poll watching? It's perfectly legal and it's designed to insure confidence in our electoral process. For example, poll watchers could play a crucial role in preventing and combating the sort of voter intimidation that occurred in Pennsylvania during the 2008 election at the behest of the Black Panther Party.
