Rampant Racism on the Left

From Elected Leaders, among others

from JoeUser Forums

Many have tried to paint the Tea Party as racist, just for the simple fact that it is not proper to criticize a black president.  No such rights were given to any previous president, democrat or republican, but those who criticize Obama are called racist.  The reason is obvious.  They cannot defend his policies, so they must demean the detractors.

But in their zeal to spew their hatred, the left is coming unglued.  Their latest endeavor is "Occupy Wallstreet" (or whatever town they are in).  Their list of demands is to say the least childish, but their fervor remains intact.  So much so that Rev Sharpton is pushing them and wishing them luck.  George Soros and his outlets are supporting them.  And democratic congressman are praising them.  But what are they praising/supporting/pushing?

It seems that perhaps the gild is off the lily, as the group, besides being a bagel short of a breakfast, is also very racist. 

Then you have the self loathing type

So what does this all mean?  After all, kooks are everywhere.  But those pesky democrats think this is what passes for the "grass roots" movement.  (I guess they mean grass as in marijuana.).  And of course you have the lamest of the congressional democrats (the one that wanted to "deem" obamacare into law) calling for the revocation of voting rights for politically incorrect voting blacks..

It is so reassuring to see our defenders of freedom denying it to people who do not parrot their thoughts.  Almost makes you miss the honesty of the KKK who did not couch their racism in flowery phrases and false movements.  It reminds me of the honest thief and the dishonest one.  The honest one tells you he is going to rob you. The dishonest one tells you he is going to help you.  The end result is the same.

America is in this predicament because the American left (Clinton/Summers) repealed the Glass-Stiegel act and backed GATT.

Time you woke-up to the enemy within.

Doc, the left has always (AFAICR) played the race card, be it true ... what outrage at established history? I have been to many Tea Party gatherings and I know (locally anyway) that racism is of no consequence. If some liberal (or conservative) prattles; their only purpose being to get the 'dogs' howling ... helps create the media exposure they wanted. As a general rule, I tend to ignore this type of nonsense. I was surprised at the disposition of Rangel … he must have really screwed up there. Check out his website if you want a few chuckles… Personally, I am just not as outraged when an idiot behaves in concert??? Idiocy abounds and we have to try and stay clear of it.

I have been thoroughly enjoying these protests and the press interviews with the protesters. I love comedy and humor and these folks have been providing a wealth of both. (Note for the stupid: yes there is a difference between humor and comedy, look it up).

I firmly believe that this is all a huge scam staged by the democrats, but it has been a real hoot to watch and listen to the interviews with the morons who are participating. I actually got to meet one of the idiots one his way to NYC to protest. He was just waiting for his guvment check so he could get there. No clue what he was really protesting or what he wanted to accomplish, he just wanted to get there and protest.

I now fully understand the term "useful idiot" in a way I never did before.

My personal favorite interview was some young guy who was asked about his protest. He said he wanted to bring down the capitalist system and replace it with something that was more fair. When asked what sort of system he wanted to replace it with that would be more fair he just stood there looking like a deer in the headlights. He had no answer and no clue what the hell he was actually talking about.

Pretty typical for this bunch of idiots.

It's just a bunch of wannabes who are trying to capture the feel of the sixties...the "GLORY" of it all.  Phooey.  Just a bunch of losers who have no idea about what they're doing. 

Hey, Boobs!  Good to see ya again...heehee.

BFD, Democrat/Liberal is synonymous with racism or just about any other ism when it serves their purpose ... except of course, freedomism. The 60's mentality is a good description I'm sure. Yea, I bring out the 'best' in people, hahaha.

Unfortunately there is plenty of racism and bigotry coming from both sides of the spectrum. Neither has a lock on this nor hypocrisy.

"America is in this predicament because the American left (Clinton/Summers) repealed the Glass-Stiegel act and backed GATT"


It was repealed at a time when the republicans controlled congress...both parties are to blame for that one.  But repealing  the Glass-Steagall Act was only a small part of what helped foster the current economic downturn.

 

"I firmly believe that this is all a huge scam staged by the democrats"

It's actually more of a populous movement and started as the idea of a Canadian NPO called Adbusters.  Looks like the Dems are going to hijack it; sort of like the Reps hijacked the Tea Party Movement.

 This is the dumbest protest I've ever seen. People on Wall street don't make laws or create policies and if they do need to hire anyone down there I doubt they will pick anyone from that crowd.

"People on Wall street don't make laws or create policies"'

But they did create the vehicle (derivatives) which caused the real estate estate bubble to swell as big as it did and ultimately implode.

And they do help craft laws and policy......they employ quite a few people on K Street.

Congress forced it with the CRA.  Bad laws do create bad situations.  But the Derivatives is part of only 1 of 13 demands they are making.  And not even a top one.

"Congress forced it with the CRA"

EVERY administration since it was first passed supported it. It's just another part of the whole ball of wax. You may think it is a bad law and think it was a major cause, however the vast majority of bad loans have been NON CRA subprime loans and non CRA business loans. Loan standards were eased way too much that is obvious, but that was not something that was FORCED by CRA.

 

"But the Derivatives is part of only 1 of 13 demands they are making."

!3 Demands? There is no official list of demands. AFAIK the 13 demands are simply a forum post from a user of the organizations website. It's no different from you posting some random list on a forum. Unfortunately as usual certain media outlets are using this post to try to make people think it actually has something to do with what the movement is about. Looks to me like the protesters have a wide variety of concerns , complaints,etc. whatever you want to call them. The actually creator of the idea states that they have no specific list. People are pissed off at the government. That's what this looks like to me. And that is why I personally have no problem with them expressing their freedom of speech....just like I have no problem with the TEA Party Movement expressing theirs. Or any other group whether I agree with their point of view or not.

Oh yeah, Adbusters, the radically anti-semetic bunch of very sensible people. That's a sane bunch to take your marching orders from.

Don't think so.  Left wing anti consumerism environmental group....Anti semetic I don't think so. Have no idea where you get that kind of misinformation from unless you just make it up.

Lots of progressive groups have put their weight behind "Occupy Wallstreet", as has George Soros (who made his fortune with speculation) and the government of Iran*.

The entire thing is rubbish.

(*Incidentally, why do progressive groups always end up on the same side as homophobic sexists?)

Not repealing it is not the same as supporting it.  Before barney Frank and maxine waters did their dance with Fannie and Freddie, and their extortion with the banks, it had no teeth.  Once they started the extortion, it got its teeth, and Bush did indeed sound the alarm.  to no avail.

It is on the organizations web site.  That makes it theirs.  Now if they all endorse it is another argument.  But as it is on their website (occupywallst.org), you have to attribute it to them.

of course it is!  It is merely being propped up by the anti-semites in the democrat party, and their willing sycophants in the media.  I had one of the cretins try to tell me that the anti-war protesters of the 60s and 70s did not spit on the troops (I witnessed it, and also had my older sister admit to it).  They are lying, trying to create a grass root movement out of wax paper.

It still has no teeth.  All it does is require banks to do some lending in the same areas in which they have branches if they want to merge.

 

"It is on the organizations web site.  That makes it theirs"

Really? Even though their site explicitly states that it is not their list but simply a post from one of their forums users? I'm suspect the owner of this site would disagree with that kind of "logic".

Amazing how the self righteous often defer to others with different points of views as racists and/or bigots.

"You loan or you get investigated and audited by the IRS". - Like I said, the teeth are there.

Really.  I doubt the owner of the site is smart enough to know logic.  But you do not post what you do not endorse - unless it is a board.  That is not a discussion board.

There are 2 kinds of people I cannot tolerate.  Bigots and hypocrites.  That is why I cannot stand liberals.  It is not about different points of views, it is about them yelling (and waving their signs) all those anti-semitic statements.

Like I said it was posted on their forum....And this is in fact called a forum as well.

There is a certain amount of of hypocrisy when you whine about certain things said about the TEA Party and then do the exact same thing about others.

No, but if you check the congressional record, you will find similar verbiage.  Couched in politicalese.

I do not whine.  I do challenge people to back up spurious allegations.  If you make a charge, back it up.  I hardly find that hypocritical.  Like I said, I found their manifesto on their home page.  If you can show anything I wrote as being false, I will retract it.  I have done so in the past.

You did no such such thing.....You did the same thing SOME others do, You took the actions of a couple of individuals and try to paint an entire group with the actions of only those individuals.
