Related: About this forumSome proof of Repuke hopes for an appearance of the Angry Black Man last night
Here is the opinion of a Repuke who notes the use of the technique we suspect. Don't read it if this kind of thing sickens you (attacks on Obama).
*** I don't want to link this but it's by the owner of a right wing / liberatarian site - I'm sure there are plenty of other examples out there

Romney being aggressive like he was last night is the best thing he can do against Obama..
He took charge of that debate, he took charge of the President!
And there was NOTHING they could do to stop him....
See, Obama CANNOT return fire on that level or he looks like an angry black man..
If Obama goes into angry black man mode he'll lose the white vote.. White people are normally scared to death of angry black men...
If they can push Obama to lose his cool and fire back aggressively at Romney it's all over for Obama..
Just pray Romney and team hold the course with this strategy throughout the other 2 debates..
- If you listen at about 1:20 of this clip from his book Obama talks about how he learned to manipulate white people, by pretending to be a calm peaceful black man..
All Romney has to do is continue with this tactic and Obama is SUNK..
It's checkmate
He cannot defend against it..
He can either sit there and take it like a pussy or go all ape shit crazy black man and blow it even worse..
I LOVE IT!
hahahahaha
===================
Romney was agressive with a smile..
Just aggressive enough to take and maintain control but not too aggressive so as to look like an asshole..
Obama does NOT have that option..
Any aggressive behavior from Obama at the debates and he's into angry black man territory from which there is no return..
So Obama can either look weak or look like an angry black man..
And Romney has him boxed into a corner with only those two options..

(11,304 posts)Obama isn't going to let him get away next time. Obama by nature seems to be a calm cool man. He isn't a liar. Did you notice the fake smile all the way through the debates. He looked nasty and a bully.

Romney will come out like an animal next time too I bet since it worked this time.
However Obama will be more than ready for his fakery.
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)but I wanted to show how the simple minded right might see last night.
Even if Obama is reasonable they'll try to force it into that frame, such a narrow area for him to operate in -- that's racism for you -- but if anyone has the smarts to widen that zone he does
southernyankeebelle
(11,304 posts)dad was like that and all he had to do was look at you in that silent way. You got the point. I think all that noise out there and a few days more from the debate we will see Obama actually won because he isn't a serial liar.
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)because the undecideds have to see that they'll lose security - Medicare, Social Security and so much more -- if they could just drive that into folks brains over the next week.
I know that I could understand what Obama was saying, Mitt was a garble, I was in a bar so maybe that didn't help.. lots of boos!

(12,461 posts)We will turn him loose. That Angry Black man Meme, will be useless...Everyone and their brother knows Romney lied his ass off last night...Obama will have America's blessings to take the SOB down.

(11,304 posts)class and the first debate didn't change that and neither will the other 2. Yes Mitten's is a serial liar.
Life Long Dem
(8,582 posts)No drama Obama is the result. Who cares if the media wants drama.

(25,487 posts)...nobody will consider Biden an "angry black man".
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)Biden has a much more room to move and show emotion

(82,383 posts)Look how they gloat at Obama being trapped, simply for being black. And are gleeful of Rmoney's white privilege.
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)Sometimes I think we know it's out there but to read about the glee is retch worthy
WestSeattle2
(1,730 posts)countless ways to expose a fraud and a liar without going "angry black man".
The only thing the author's statements expose is their ignorance and frankly, stupidity.
