With Obama however, given that elements of the far right have a strong record of racism it seems probable that some of the more extreme hate towards Obama is based on that.

Well, racism is just grouping people together, and due to a few in that group being bad apples, applying it to the entire group.

Being you just did it, I am not sure why you have a problem with it.

 

Oh, and Obama approval rating is 44% for white, 61% for Hispanics, and a whopping 93% for blacks.

I wonder why it's so high in the black community? Anything you can think of that would keep his rating that high?

I did explicitly note that it wasn't the entire group. There are 'elements of', bad apples in your words, the far right that have racist motivations.

 

 

Yes your notation was part of the typical liberal race bait play:

Step 1)

Point out the right's record of racism while ignoring the fact that both parties have a record of racism and that you are essentially playing the "my shit don't stink" party game.  In the event you are called on this trot out bastardized versions of history and if all else fails call the other person a racist!

Step 2)

Play the "I don't want to take away from legitimate dissent" line.  Nobody who thinks about it for 2 seconds is really naive enough to believe that the goal of labeling some of these people as racists is anything other than to marganlize the entire group. But go ahead and say this part anyways, because most people won't give it that much thought, and either way you can claim that you're being reasonable while never actually addressing the legitimate concerns you claim to respect.

Pointing out that you don't want to marganlize legitimate complaints is part of the playbook...."Why...I don't know what yuo mean!  I'm not being unreasonable!!"

You can't be so naive to have not noticed that the only thing the left wants to talk about in regards to the protest is racism....can you?  I mean it is blatantly obvious they have no intention of discussing what they are actually protesting about ...you do see that....right?
