Freepers blame minorities

Yep, they claim they lost not because their policies were bad, but because those darn minorities showed up higher than “normal levels." The OP was about minority turnout, everything posted afterwards is in that context. I cant even begin to explain their statements. So Ill post a few and let them stand for themselves.

Here are some of their comments.


Higher turnout from the plantation population. Lower turnout overall. Plantation Party wins.


I got me a Obamaphone! He gonna pay my electik bill!


I recommend a “youth” 20 gauge pump action with a 6 rd capacity. Nothing says “home defense” like a shotgun,


The Dems have figured out that the POTUS election can be won based on identity politics; appearance, race, gender, and age overcome substance in the age of American Idol.


Bottom line - The takers now rule. America is dead.


I am also convinced that there will be all the horrors of balkanization including pogroms and mass starvation. The “takers” are addicted to the “handout heroin” and will NEVER prepare for the day when the assistance stops.


Ok, so minorities are all takers who are obsessed with only voting for their own race (so hispanics voted for a black guy?) and they deserved to be met with a shotgun. Oh, and it's also perfectly acceptable to use a jim crow dialect in meaningful discussion

Remember, tea baggers arent racist. There is nothing racial about any of them or their political beliefs.

I am one of those so called "takers." Puerto Rican American, born and raised in NY, live in CT now.

I have worked at least p-t since I was 16.

I am sick to death of these ignoramuses.

Do they know that most of the real "takers" are in Red States?

earned it through hard work. Just like how Joe the Plumber, Paul Ryan, Romney's grandfather, so on all benefited from some form of "handout." But they are white so they earned it. Minorities dont work, they just make babies and take.

Monday night I watched some FOX -- yes that's right.
Funny thing -- Dick Morris predicted a 325 - 213 Romney Landslide and my friend, I am kidding of course, Ann Coulter also predicted a Romney win. And she stated that the Democrats would not accept Romney's election and blame the republicans on voter suppression.

Really? So today Morris' numbers are close but his outcome was wrong -- VERY WRONG. And now instead of a voter suppression they blame it because more voters turned out? Isn't that what voting is suppose to do -- get
as many voters out as possible.

they will be the ones buying up ammo at their local gun store and putting up
gadson and rebel flags when they didn't have them before.

i also expect a resurgance of the KKK to happen in the next four years because
there are racist white people out there who are very angry that they are becoming
the minority and they don't have control anymore.

Perhaps you can move to Antarctica and establish your own new nation--The Republic of Whitetrashistan--where you can have NO laws, NO pesky regulations, NO law enforcement or public services, where it will be "every man for himself", and you can live like the wild animals you are.

Can I help someone pack?

Congrats America we have 4 more years of bailouts, recesion and poor leadership, you got it right this time for sure. Remember the comment 8% unemployment were doing just fine, 4 years from now that number will seem small, now time for the large corporations to start slashing their payrolls.

In all honesty I did vote for Obama (I'm not republican nor democrat) and to be honest it wasn't so much where Obama won my vote as it was that Romney Lost my vote. If it was someone other than Romney my vote could have very easily gone an entire different direction. (and I know quite a few others who felt the same way I did)


Grammar not much better, but reasoning improves.

I just found out tonight my daughter in laws company is cutting there entire staff to 29 hrs a week by the end of the year, no more full time jobs, the good news is they are going to hire more employees to cover the extra hours, this has been forced on companies who have full time employees and must provide health care for them starting next year,Obama's solution to unemployment, one more flaw in Obama care. We are going to create a country of low wage part time jobs, is this a solution?? If you don't think that major companies wont follow suit think again, we wont be able to get health care while the foreign population that are here illegally AKA Hispanic,Asian, Latino's are still walking into your local emergency rooms that we are paying for. The first presidential candidate to stand up and say if your here illegally and need help from us to bad kick rocks. hope you make it home soon enough, will get my vote forever.


If only there was a way to kick these people and make them better :kick:

THIS IS THE DIRECTION AMERICA IS HEADING

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all). After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied li
ttle. ... The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that. Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections. These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment: 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

That's been the standard Republican talking point for decades.

That's why the Tea Party guys were so confused when they went to DC and discovered there was no massive welfare program that allows black people to lay around watching cable TV while smoking crack. It just doesn't exist.

Plus, Republicans always bring up the 'big tent' talk following a nasty or unexpected defeat. But in the end, past actions have shown us what we can expect from them in the future: more doubling down on the bigot/intolerance vote.
