May 9, 201016 yr I think you have made my point by linking the two yourself. Is is racist to want the Constitution upheld? Is is racist to want illegal immigrants kept out of your country? Talk about a generalization.:ohbrother:I want the Constitution upheld, and I want illegal immigrants kept out of the country, and I'm certainly not racist. What a reach ... I said only that it's likely that there are racist elements in the Tea Party movement. Nothing more, nothing less, and I would appreciate if you would characterize my comments appropriately.
May 9, 201016 yr Yeah, it has to be that. No possible way it could be his policies or political views. Or those of his opponents ... of course, sometimes the irrational nature of some of his critcs seems to have to do with a little more than simply his policies and political views.
May 9, 201016 yr So, if you know it happens, why do you need an example?Who said I needed one? I simply asked you to provide one.
May 9, 201016 yr Obama. :lol: Yes, all of the conservatives have been open to bi-partisan change since the day Obama took office. :lol:
May 9, 201016 yr Who said I needed one? I simply asked you to provide one.Why play this game? :idunno: You and I both know it exists, so what's your point? One could very well view post #77 as one...
May 9, 201016 yr One could very well view post #77 as one... Hardly. I'm not painting all conservatives with a broad brush. The statement, I suspect, is entirely true.
May 9, 201016 yr Hardly. I'm not painting all conservatives with a broad brush. The statement, I suspect, is entirely true.Oh sure, ALL Tea Party members MUST be racist because they disagree with Obama. :lol: :ohbrother: Glad to see you're not painting all Tea Party members with a broad brush...
May 9, 201016 yr Oh sure, ALL Tea Party members MUST be racist because they disagree with Obama. :lol: :ohbrother: Glad to see you're not painting all Tea Party members with a broad brush... What is it about this statement ... Or those of his opponents ... of course, sometimes the irrational nature of some of his critics seems to have to do with a little more than simply his policies and political views. ... that paints all of Obama's critics as racist?
May 9, 201016 yr :lol: Yes, all of the conservatives have been open to bi-partisan change since the day Obama took office. :lol:Good one ...
May 9, 201016 yr What is it about this statement ... Or those of his opponents ... of course, sometimes the irrational nature of some of his critics seems to have to do with a little more than simply his policies and political views. ... that paints all of Obama's critics as racist? Possibly, but what would you say about the irrational nature of some of the critics of past presidents such as GW, Clinton and Reagan? Maybe there is no other reason other than they comments are coming from irrational people.
May 9, 201016 yr Does anyone truly believe that bi-partisan cooperation is important to very many people in DC on either side of the aisle?
May 9, 201016 yr Possibly, but what would you say about the irrational nature of some of the critics of past presidents such as GW, Clinton and Reagan? Maybe there is no other reason other than they comments are coming from irrational people. A fair statement. But this thread is about some "conservatives" and their assessment of liberals.
May 9, 201016 yr There are people's whole careers made on making sure that bi-partisan cooperation does NOT occur.
May 9, 201016 yr Does anyone truly believe that bi-partisan cooperation is important to very many people in DC on either side of the aisle?I think it was, at one time and as recently as a few years ago. Frankly, I think the Republican Party hierarchy has made it a basic part of its strategy to make sure there is none. Edited May 9, 201016 yr by westsider
