Obama Plays Race Card, Calls on Churches to Support Campaign
Imagine if Paul campaign launched ‘Whites for Ron Paul’

Imagine if Ron Paul announced a national campaign called ‘Whites for Ron Paul’ – he’d be vilified as a racist. And yet Barack Obama has done the equivalent of precisely that with his launch of ‘African Americans for Obama’.

The program urges black Americans to volunteer their time by making calls, organizing events and going door to door in their neighborhoods encouraging other African Americans to vote for Obama.

Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state. In the video promo for the campaign, Obama urges black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via “the faith community”. He also calls on voters to become “congregation captains”.

Again, imagine what the reaction would be any of the Republican candidates launched a ‘Whites for Romney’, ‘Whites for Santorum’ or ‘Whites for Gingrich’ campaign. There would be non-stop uproar. But Obama does the equivalent and gets a free pass.

“I thought race didn’t matter Mr. President?” asks Chad Hasty. “I don’t think MLK would be too pleased with you at all. African-Americans for Obama? Give me a break. Under this President, more blacks are unemployed. More blacks are on food stamps. If I had to bet though, Obama will still pull 93% of the black vote. Again, just a wild guess.”

As part of his efforts to lock down the black community as a voting bloc, Obama has arrived in Florida accompanied by an invasion of rappers and NBA basketball stars – all at taxpayer expense.

“The group — which organizers said includes Magic Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and NBA Commissioner David Stern — will meet with President Obama for a $30,000-a-plate fundraiser at the (actual) home court of Dallas Mavericks guard Vince Carter in his Isleworth mansion,” reports the Orlando Sentinel.

The expensive fundraising trip is timed to coincide with Sunday’s 61st NBA All-Star Game at Orlando’s Amway Center.

An expensive new basketball shoe launched to capitalize on the event caused mayhem at a Florida mall last night. Riot police were called after crowds attempted to rush into a branch of Foot Locker to purchase the shoe before closing time.

Again, just imagine if Paul campaign launched ‘Whites for Ron Paul’

Should President Barack Obama play the “race card” because he is black? Last month, President Obama released a video on his YouTube page, “African-Americans for Obama,” encouraging African-Americans to support him in his campaign effort to be reelected.

In his video, Obama attempts to appeal to the African-American audience by having sympathy for the previous generations that were enslaved and oppressed, and how those generations have helped mold today’s America. He then asks the viewers if we want a country where a small percentage of people do really well, or a country where everyone gets a “fair shot” and contributes their “fair share.” He ends the video by asking for his supporters to join this effort to keep making history.

Is there a double standard when it comes to race? Judging by this video, the clear answer is yes. The double-standard is that Obama is allowed to play the “race card” because he is black. If a white candidate did the same thing, he would be branded a racist and their campaign would be ruined.

It is only a matter of time before the president plays the “race card” again in his bid for reelection.

According to the loony right, any mention of the words Black, Afro-American or race in any context is "playing the race card.

It is a sure thing that sirs will accuse the Democrats of this. But sirs is a loon. Lamentably not the only one.

Not quite.  Only when used in the context that if you swapped out black for white, it would be seen as racist

Let's see if Xo can pass the test........Imagine if Ron Paul announced a national campaign called ‘Whites for Ron Paul’

Is that racist, or not??


.......Imagine if Santorum urged white people to pressure churches into supporting a Santorum administration by getting his message out via “the faith community”.

Is that racist or not??

 
So, if Xo says yes, he'd be the hypocritical loon

and if he doesn't answer, or responds with a non-answer, we also have the same answer as above

[Xavier_Onassis]

"Whites for Ron Paul" would make no sense except as a group dedicated to depriving non-Whites of their benefits, since White people have the advantages of this society. "Blacks for Obama" is more like a self-help society.

Even Paul is smart enough to understand this, but not sirs. Sirs is simply incapable of logical thought.

[sirs]

"Whites for Ron Paul"

So, you're saying that wouldn't be seen as a racist reference??  Really??  WOW

[Xavier_Onassis]

You apparently cannot understand what I wrote.

[sirs]

You apparently can't understand a question.  One can "rationalize" anything, like how blacks for Obama isn't racist, while whites for Paul would be.  That's wasn't the question posed. 

You erroneously tried to make this about "anytime" race is brought up by Obama & company, folks like myself would call it racist.  I demonstrated how wrong that was by how when used "IN CONTEXT", that if you merely swapped black for white, one would see just how racist a comment it was.

But by all means, continue to rationlize Obama's racist rhetoric.  I'm sure folks who still support functions as the KKK are taking notes.  Whites for Paul isn't racist.....it's merely a self-help society

...or if he answers with a non-answering rationalization how one is racist but the other is not, that, too, demonstrates the hypocritical double standard

  XO , I think you are painted into a corner on this one.

  Unless sauce for gooses isn't really sauce for gandersses.

[Xavier_Onassis]

White Power is a racist slogan.
\
Black Power is a defensive strategy.

Polish Power is a wry joke.

If you don't understand this, then you do not understand this country.

Even Ron Paul is smart enough to understand that, though I am not so sure about Rand Paul.

[sirs]

White Power is a racist slogan.
\
Black Power is a defensive strategy.

LOL...I mean, I appreciate how you keep making my point about rationalization, and hypocrytical double standards.  So, all this time, the KKK was merely adopting a "defensive strategy".  Who'd a thunk it     

[Xavier_Onassis]

Since when die the Klan use "black power" as a slogan.

What a dolt!

[sirs]

Speaking of dolts, who said they would?      They'd simply use the same rationalizing technique you're using to justify clearly racist rhetoric, such as white power.  It's not racist.....it's merely a "defensive strategy"

Kinda reminds me of when Tee was being taken to task for insisting that Uncle Tom wasn't racist ...... because.......he said so......because he's not racist, so it just can't be a racist comment.
