Richard Cohen: Obama Is Scary!

Image

It only took a few tweaks and voila! Richard Cohen managed to repackage the "Obama is actually a closet black racist who will turn the White House into a black Muslim enclave" smears that are circulating the worst of the right wing hate sites, into a column for today's Washington Post.

    • I suppose LittleGreenFootballs is considered one of those "worst right-wing hate sites." Actually LGF has EXPOSED a lot of hate and racism, most of it coming from the Left and from Islam (although Charles Johnson doesn't hesitate to expose right-wing hate and racism also)...really, truly nasty, ugly, filthy, vitriolic, violent stuff. Quite a bit of it comes from Obama's "former" church and his "former" pastor, not to mention the church's current pastor, and from Father Pfleger, and from Louis Farrakhan, who won an award from Obama's church. (Sure, Obama threw his church under the bus, but he's thrown EVERYONE under the bus.)

      Obama a "closet" racist? Not really, since he attended a racist church for almost 20 years and took his kids to it as well...I'd say he's a pretty up-front about it. His Muslim background goes much deeper than he claims. He's also said that he'll always take the side of Muslims if public opinion turns against them (obviously for no reason!).

      Aren't facts bothersome sometimes?

      Personally I don't think Obama's a Muslim, but I also don't think that poster is THAT far off the mark.

    • he said they gave the "Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan." maybe we should discuss whom the usa puts on a pedestal as men who truly epitomize greatness: Ronald "i can't recall" Reagan, Thomas "i enslaved a bunch of people and slept with them" Jefferson, General "i love killin dem injuns" Custer, etc, etc. i don't like Farrakhan, but would Cohen say that Golda "there is no such thing as a palestinian" Meir is a person who epitomized greatness. we have a school and library named after her in milwaukee (she's from here). put anybody in a turban and long beard and they will look like a "terrorist", otherwise known as an Arab. remember the american taliban.

      u can't do this with white candidates but, .... obama is light brown so, .... he's obviously a terrorist
