On CNN now they haveTara Wall, a Black Repub., claiming Obama is "injecting race"

[jenmito]

by telling his supporters at a fundraiser that the Repubs. are going to attack him by trying to make people afraid of him by making him into a scary, inexperienced guy-and "did I mention he's Black?" She's saying she's disappointed that HE'S injecting race by telling his supporters that the REPUBS. are going to play the race card. She's a former Repub. senior adviser. :eyes:

[Colobo]

1. A black Republican? That's all I needed to know.

Those are the guys who deny the existence of racism against themselves.

[jenmito]

3. I know. It's sad. But it seems like the MSM is using more and more of them to speak out

against Obama.

[PM7nj]

4. I think every Black Republican is existence works for CNN, MSNBC, and FOX. nt

[jenmito]

7. I think they hire them just to speak out against Obama. Like Joe Watkins, Ron Christie,

this woman who was on tonight, and others.

[anonymous171]

2. In other words "BAWW he called the republicans out on their next strategy"

[jenmito]

6. Yes. It's like she didn't GET it-that he was telling people what they should be prepared for-

and they're already doing it. Have you seen those buttons asking if it would still be called the "White House" if Obama was president?

[KingFlorez]

5. The GOP has already proven that's their strategy

With things like this

[jenmito]

10. Exactly. I just mentioned that button in an above post. And don't forget the monkey sock puppets.

[Cha]

8. Tough Shit, tara...Obama's Black, Obama's

Black, Obama's Black..there, how's that for racist?

He's also the best candidate for President and he's going to win..then you can have something to whine about.

[jenmito]

11. I don't understand why she'd be a Repub. in the first place. n/t

[Cha]

35. It comes under the heading of

it takes all kinds. You just never know how people got their thought processes unless you're that person.

What makes a person like condi rice support the slime in a man like bush?

[jenmito]

38. True...

maybe they're gluttons for punishment? Like the Log Cabin Repubs.

[Cha]

52. Maybe they care only about

what they can get for themselves..the "me, me, me, mentality" that doesn't care about their country, the Planet, or accountability.

And, doesn't mind Soldiers being blown to bits for their lies and Iraqis getting bombed in the name of "freedom".

[ErinBerin84]

9. yeah, I'm sure the GOP would be calling a white community organizer a "street organizer"......

[jenmito]

12. Exactly.

[AlCzervik]

16. Nailed it.

[AuntPatsy]

13. But they are doing just that? So how is stating a very real fact wrong?

[jenmito]

24. Yes, the Repubs. ARE doing just that. The woman is wrong, denying that they ARE doing

that. She's in denial.

[AuntPatsy]

42. Not in denial, simply lying as her and her ilk are apt to do when it comes to bashing dems.

[jenmito]

48. How can they live with themselves?

I wouldn't be able to.

[senseandsensibility]

14. Is this the first time you've seen her do her thing?

She's been on many times bashing Dems, and she always has this disgusted look on her face whenever a Dem's name is mentioned. But they specifically bring her in to put down Obama it seems. Look for more of this. The repugs want to bash Obama on race, and they will use black surrogates to do their dirty work.

[jenmito]

Yes. It's the first time I've seen her. I didn't know who she was until they put the

little title under her.

[NYC_SKP]

15. Don't you understand? It's journalism!

You see, it's a topic that's on the peoples' minds (because they put it there), so that makes it a legitimate topic.

Then they bring on celebri-journalists from different camps to represent different views (that makes it fair and balanced).

And then they loop it over and over and over and over.

They've elevated it to an art form, Wright, bittergate, "really proud to be an American"...

Brilliant!

Journalism!

Our democracy is safe!



(edited to repair like three typos...geeze, I'm not even drinking):hi:

[jenmito]

33. Exactly...

I understand completely. :hi:

[sandnsea]

17. Baby Mama, terrorist bump

I mean come on, it's all over the place.

[rocktivity]

18. Tara "Sloppy Seconds" Wall?

Well, that explains the "former" part of her being a former Repub senior advisor. She called Kerry's choice of VP "sloppy seconds" because he didn't pick--WAIT FOR IT--John McCain!

:headbang:

[JI7]

19. i have noticed a lot of black women representing the Republican side

on the media these days. there were always a few before. but it seems more so now. most are attractive also. i have to wonder if the media puposely gets these women to try to hurt Obama. they think people will view these black women as supporting McCain over Obama and people will think it shows even "his own people" aren't supporting Obama.

they view these women as more effective at gaining support for Republicans over the usual angry white male Republicans who will probably expose their racism .

[Cha]

46. Of course they do..they're nothing if not

orchestrated. They've got the propaganda bullhorn and they can do anything they want.

Obama's going right through them.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Yesterday they, the media were talking about "Angry Black Women".....

but no, race will not be used.

Will sell monkey dolls, monkey shirts, and Black buttons about the White House, but noooo race won't be mentioned in the GE! :eyes:

[NYC_SKP]

25. Then they state, "we thought the Obama would be the post-racial candidate."

Fuck, he can't win for losing.

The media literally fabricate these issues, then decry the fact that there are these issues, denounce the candidate for defending against them.

[FrenchieCat]

29. What will all of those Hard Working Class Citizens think now?

YOu know the ones that get mentioned day in, day out.

[jenmito]

30. Yeah. Like he's not being "post-racial" by pointing out the FACT that the Repubs. will,

and already are, playing the race card.

[NYC_SKP]

26. Then they state, "we thought the Obama would be the post-racial candidate."

Fuck, he can't win for losing.

The media literally fabricate these issues, then decry the fact that there are these issues, denounce the candidate for defending against them.

[cliffordu]

28. Yep.

[jenmito]

47. I saw that. And they do it every day.

Disgusting-ESPECIALLY to accuse OBAMA of playing the race card for saying the REPUBS. will attack his race.

[Cali_Democrat]

21. I've seen so many black republicans on TV lately

Interesting to say the least. I don't remember this many black republicans on TV in 2004. Why 2008?

The MSM love to trot out Black Republicans to attack Obama.

[PM7nj]

34. All 10 of them work for the MSM. nt

[jenmito]

36. Me, too. It IS interesting...

but not unexpected.

[crankychatter]

22. I caught her act and my first thought was.... oops typo

If I was smart and Black, I'd become a Republican strategist. It must pay GREAT!!!

[jenmito]

39. All the money in the world wouldn't make me want to

become a Repub. strategist.

[crankychatter]

53. I'm sure it's like gems and precious metals

rarity makes the price go up

[Tutonic]

23. Black Republican is an oxymoron

And if Armstrong Williams and Colin Powell are any indication, John McBush just lost 20% of the Black Republican vote.

[hokies4ever]

27. When CNN first ran this story, it fell very flat

It was clear that they were trying to manufacture a gaffe.

[FrenchieCat]

32. With the fuzzy audio tape and the subtitles and everything.......

Kind of a "Bitter" redux.

Boy, they hate to see his poll numbers rise.

Guess this is an intervention. :eyes:

[Catherina]

31. I'm so angry right now can I just say FUCK TARA WALL ?

There that helped. A little.

Thanks

[jenmito]

41. Sure you can!

And you just did! I'm glad you feel better. :hi:

[Catherina]

51. :)

A bit better. Have you ever felt like crying over a stupid straw that broke the camel's back? I think my . must be right around the corner ;)

:hi: and thank you

[Swingstater]

37. Cable networks hate to talk about issues

unfortunately, this kind of trivia sells, even if it makes Americans less intelligent every day.

[EffieBlack]

40. Of course he "injected" race into the campaign. Until last night, no one EVER mentioned race.

If only Obama had just kept his trap shut yesterday, we wouldn't have even known he was the first black presidential nominee.

:sarcasm:

[AuntPatsy]

45. LOL the best lighthearted post tonight, thank you for the smile, needed it.

It's crazy isn't it? ;-)

[jenmito]

49. Exactly.

How dare they seriously accuse HIM of injecting race/playing the race card.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. CNN will wheel them all out

CNN has not really been that supportive of Democrats

[jenmito]

44. Anderson Cooper asked, "Is he warning his supporters of what's to come? Or is he playing the race

card himself?" :eyes:

[ErinBerin84]

50. even besides the "Shhhhh, he's black!" code by some GOP outlets

The GOP has also used racist sentiment against Arabic people and Muslims against Obama. It fucking sucks, I can honestly say that I get the sense that all of the Muslims that I know love America more than many Republicans who I have encountered.

[Middle finga]

54. There sure is an awful lot of black republicans on cable news

for such a small group
