Who came up with the term "leftist" anyway?
-
I think the answer is that there aren’t many. Like very very few people actually saying that… Because that’d be nuts!
-
No one has told me to my face that if I did not vote for Obama I am a racist for two reasons. First, most people I know don’t know who I voted for and second, my circle of friends and acquientances know ne well and know that I am not a racist and are not the type that would make wild accusations. However, I have heard numerous times on the political shows all over MSM commentators/guest/analysts/celebrities state that people that did not vote for Obama have a hatred for him and are racist. Follow the links on the search and you will find lots of examples.
Now, the emphasis has changed and liberals accuse anyone that voted for Trump to be racist which is equally idiotic.
This is the typical…are you going to believe me or your own lying eyes/ears. In the end, you will believe what you want to believe and so will I, for every search you come up that you feel makes your point I can come up with one that makes mine. I guess we could call it a Mexican stand-off but we might be accused of cultural appropriation so this discussion seems pointless, wouldn’t you agree.

@JayHawkFanToo I think you’ve proven my point. Nobody is actually telling you you are racist. But you’re letting the media tell you what other people think. Very dangerous. The good news is… This thing you are afraid of doesnt exist! The world is a little better than you think! This is cause for celebration isn’t it? Just tune out the news and we’re there!
cheers buddy.
-
Try this then or Oprah and Oliver Stone in their own words. The context seems pretty clear.
-
Because no one told me does not prove it is not true. Obviously @DoubleDD says it happened to him and I take him at his word and there is plenty of annecdotal evidence that it is not as uncommon as you think. You need to open your mind and realize that other people have experiences different than yours.
-
@JayHawkFanToo the first source is another conservative spin site talking about a liberal talking head. I can’t find the original quote anywhere. Maybe they retracted it? If it was said it was a stupid thing to say. But again. Liberal talking head. Reported by conservative troll site. Common theme here. These guys aren’t real. If I took this spin media as fact no doubt I’d be angry too.
The Oprah one doesn’t exactly count. She’s talking about people opposed to the sitting President not voting against him (our original thing was voting, but ok), and that there is a racial element to some of the opposition to Obama as the sitting President. You know like people saying you’re not American if you don’t let Trump be President. But it’s not the whole interview, again it’s cut and filtered through Fox talking heads and immediately opinions are vomited out in a mother bird regurgitation frenzy.
I really don’t think she was talking about all people, only that there was some racially motivated resistance to Obama’s presidency. Would that not be an accurate statement?
-
@JayHawkFanToo because no one told you [that you’re a racist for not voting for Obama] doesn’t mean that [someone called you a racist for not voting for Obama] is not true. Got it!
I’ll wait to hear about @DoubleDD being called a racist if he wants to talk about it. I know other people have different experiences than me and would not mind discussing them but if he doesn’t want to that’s fine too.
-
I’m done. @approxinfinity I love the hell out of yea. yet you play this game of where is the evidence? This movement of libs and the DNC calling persons racist that didn’t vote for Obama was real? And now it’s if you voted for Trump your a racist. These are real situations. Not made up. All you have to do is watch the media. I’ll join in your cause but at least acknowledge what is the truth. Conservatives are being treated like the slaves of old. Just youtube Maxine Waters. It’s crazy? I’m done. I more than happy to have a civil conversation about the trying times or our day. Yet if you can’t at the very least acknowledge. the very basis and obvious truths. Then what is there to talk about?
-
Just for the record I always do my homework before I vote. Don’t care about parties. Could care less.
-
@DoubleDD all you have to do is not watch that media
-
@approxinfinity it’s bad for your blood pressure!
-
It would be safe to say, in view of the polls showing a large number of Republicans still believe that Obama is Kenyan and/or Muslim, that this belief has no evidentiary support and therefore might be motivated by racial animus. It would also be safe to say, based on other polls, that a large number of Democrats believe both Trump and many of his supporters to be racists.
Neither set of beliefs should be attributed to everyone in either group.

Sadly it’s a deeper than that. People of my kind are getting barred from restaurants and being undressed.
And she was the leader of the Lib/DNC movement. Tell me different? Was she not the elected leader of the Lib/DNC movement?

I’m sorry Obama voters didn’t get called racists or get banned from public places or made fun of on every media outlet. You can bite me mayjay?

You need to reread my post and rethink your post. And then apologize if you can figure out how wrong you are.
-
nah I did reread your post. The difference is one is getting called out, and the other never did? I mean check this out.
no Mayjay bite me
-
Told you I do my homework.
-
@DoubleDD you don’t get it? Why blame @mayjay? He doesn’t hate. Nothing vile has come out of his mouth.
-
It’s not about hating. I know he doesn’t hate he’s a great person, but he doesn’t understand what is going in this world and neither do you. Conservatives are being attacked just because they disagree.

Sadly the Dems/libs started this war, and they will lose this war.
-
@DoubleDD you are wrong, sadly I guess
-
So you disagree with the black guy? Yea you Dems/libs call him a black guy, but us conservatives call him a American. Yet somehow we are the racist. Lmao
-
I guess
-
You’re so scared right now on how to respond? Why is it that? Because you have to research what the Dem/Lib party says is ok to say. lmao.
-
i’m still waiting?
-
OH and you voted for Obama you know you did. Didn’t want to be called a racist if you didn’t.
-
@DoubleDD you just said black guy, then said you conservatives called him American?
-

Yep I knew you were a lib/Dem. Lmao
-
I knew it.
-
@DoubleDD I didn’t vote for obama. But I would today. I didn’t vote trump, no way! First time I didn’t vote republican for president, not for other offices though.
-
Yea you did. Just admit it.
-
Well if you didn’t vote Trump then what are you waiting for? A president that is more Liberal/Dem? Lmao
-
@DoubleDD you need to shut up! I don’t lie and I resent you calling me a liar. You be whatever you want to be.
-
Yea lets go back to the days of a healthcare plan that can’t be paid for. When we load up money on pallets in the dead of night and send it to a country that hates us. And just sit back that allows Russia to claim whatever country belongs to them. OH lets not forget we sell a third of our uranium to Russia. Okkkkkay
-
Yea vote for that? Lmao. Then blame it on the next president.
-
What do you have to say now?
-
You’re no conservative. You just want to be in the crowd that is going to give the least amount of grief.
-
Well you found it girl. I’m going to be attacked for pointing out the truths. Yet I’m ok with it. I can take it, because I can take. In fact I welcome it.
-
@DoubleDD If you can’t find someone else to explain it to you, let me: My post said that there are people at both ends of the political spectrum who have nasty thoughts about the other end, but that no one should think that all of the other group feels that way. In other words, no one should have labelled you a racist because of your vote.
From my caution against generalizing, which is, of course, what you were complaining about in the first place, you twice said “bite me”. And now you are ranting and making generalizations about @Crimsonorblue22 because of how you think she voted.
Good luck exploring the maze into which your twisted hostile logic takes you. But you are going there on your own. I give up.
-
@DoubleDD Brotha, you gots to chill out. Everyone else seems to be pretty dang civil in their posts. The hostility is unnecessary. I’d like to keep this thread alive, but another spell like that and I’m sure Approx will feel like he needs to shut it down.
