NON-RACIST freeper on "lowered expectations applied to blacks, even when they’re in the White House"
From May 2009:

Wanda Sykes' Jokes About Rush Limbaugh Prompt Debate

May 10, 2009 3:47 PM

There's some chatter in the blogosphere and on cable TV about comedian Wanda Sykes' routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night, particularly her jokes about conservative talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh.

"Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails," Sykes said. "So you're saying, 'I hope America fails', you're, like, 'I don't care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq'. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

Sykes then said, "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

...and some clueless freeper douche named "jeltz25" posted this today as if it were a new story with the following remarks:

So the President is laughing along and approving as someone jokes about someone being tortured and dying and makes crude sexual references about a sitting Governor. Real classy of him.

She literally says she hopes someone waterboards him, Is that not incitement?

Was he concerned about the tone then? About civility? About discourse? Was the media?

This Jake Tapper at ABC I give credit to. He is the only one on any of the mainstream networks/papers who ever brings any of this stuff up. Who ever mentions any of the vicious anti-conservative behavior of the left. The only one.

...and will ya take a look at THIS piece of shit's remarks:

To: jeltz25

The comments, and Obama’s reaction, show how the soft bigotry of lowered expectations is applied to blacks; nobody even takes them seriously when they’re in the White House.

Truth: "He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

2. The very definition of lowered expectations:
The second debate between Bush and Kerry. In the first, Bush came across as an ignorant, ranting moron, and he literally had drool on his chin. For the second debate, all he had to do was keep the drool off his chin and the media would declare it a draw.
