Is Hussein a racist?

Let's look at the definition of racism:

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.


Now, let's examine what Hussein said.

610 WIP host Angelo Cataldi asked Obama about his Tuesday morning speech on race at the National Constitution Center in which he referenced his own white grandmother and her prejudice. Obama told Cataldi that "The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."


So he is judging all white people based on his belief that they all fear blacks.

Re-read the definition.

  1. Actually, there is no reason to refer to a US Senator by his middle name, unless you're going to refer to the other candidates as "Sidney" and "Diane", respectively, unless you have some ulterior motive or reason for doing so.

  2. Actually I refer to Hussein by Hussein because people such as yourself think you can tell me what name I can call me.

    I do hope this is plain enough to understand.

    And of course, that is his name.

  3. heh --- That would be "call him." Not enough coffee just yet.

    Hope I didn't confuse you.

  4. You still haven't given a reason as to why anyone anyone, let alone you, should call Senator Obama by his middle name, except that you probably want to present him in the worse light possible by your POV.

    I could be wrong, but I suspect you'd be angry if a leftie blogger referred to the Senator from Arizona as "Sidney", because it was disrespectful of a military veteran.

  5. Is Obama a racist? From what I've seen, no. He does not advocate that one race is superior, or advocate for discrimination based on race. I suppose it's possible he is prejudiced against white folks, but I don't believe that either.

    What he is, is a shuckster, a con-man, a snake oils salesman. Same as the other two thorougbreds in the race, imo. We need to elect a standard bred horse to pull this carriage:)

  6. weeder... You can call McCain Sidney if it makes you feel better!

    And if you disrespected his military service I would not be surprised, seeing as how I would say you are probably a Leftie who believes America incented aids and crack cocaine...

    As for being angry...at such trash as Hussein isb talking... damn right.

  7. kdog - The man said what he said. And if McCain referred to a "typical black woman" in reference fo Michelle, he would be flayed.

    It is obvious that Hussein and Michelle have bought into the teachings of the Reverend Wright. There is no way I want someone like him as Pres...

    And the last presidents from a "common man" background was Reagan, Esinhower and Truman...

    Nice set, eh??

  8. weeder....

    BTW - I don't have to have a reason. I can call Hussein, Hussein anytime I want to..

    Get over it.

  9. You can call BHO by his middle name if it makes you feel better.

    Your refusal to discuss the issue other than on the level of a bratty 7 year-old who knows they're not in danger of punishment for having a loud mouth is interesting, to say the least.

  10. What issue are you referring to?

    That I reject the Hussein Camp's attempt to tell me what I can write?

    I bet you get upset when someone writes "Moslem" rather than "Muslim."

    And if 7 year old understand about resisting censorship attempts, I hope I never grow up.

  11. That I reject the Hussein Camp's attempt to tell me what I can write?


    When and where has the Hussein Camp
    attempted to tell you what you can write?

    I bet you get upset when someone writes "Moslem" rather than "Muslim."

    No, but thanks for demonstrating your lack of insight.

    And if 7 year old understand about resisting censorship attempts

    Why is it censorship to point out your refusal to explain yourself?

  12. The political correct police always get upset when Hussein is called Hussein. I think it was Kerry who used all three of his names who caused a flap, and then the talk show host who got zapped by McCain.....

    If Hussein doesn't like his middle name he could always petition the court to change it. Perhaps he could change it to "IamnotMuslim" or some such disavowal.

    Perhaps he could even change it to Sidney...

    And if you don't have an agenda re people calling Hussein, Hussein... why are you protesting?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Inquiry doesn't equal protest.

    Why do you believe it does?

    ReplyDelete
  14. If you are not protesting, why are you inquiring after I gave you my answer?

    Really, you are becoming rather trollish.

    Can I put you down as not caring?

    ReplyDelete
  15. All you've said that you want to call BHO by his middle name because people like me don't want you to.

    I thought you were more sensible than that, but if that's your final answer, so be it.

  16. If it didn't bother you, why bring it up??

    ReplyDelete
  17. I can't be curious about anything unless I'm bothered?

    Or are you disappointed that I'm not bothered?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Obviously you are bothered or you wouldn't have written:

    "Actually, there is no reason to refer to a US Senator by his middle name, unless you're going to refer to the other candidates as "Sidney" and "Diane", respectively, unless you have some ulterior motive or reason for doing so."

  19. I made an observation that dosn't demonstrate a sense of being bothered about the matter.

    You yourself have stated that you have no reason except that it would bother his supporters, which doesn't make sense to me, but I'm merely dust in the wind compared to the wisdom you demonstrate on a regular basis here.

  20. You made a comment with no disclaimer.

    The facts speak.

  21. a comment with no disclaimer.

    Yes, I made an observation, and you've demonstrated its' accuracy by your own response in only 2 posts.

    The facts speak.

    Yes, anyone can understand your "reason" for using Hussein to refer to BHO by reading this thread.

    Is English really your native language?

    Just checking.....................

  22. Parsing doesn't become you because unlike Hussein you don't have an adoring fan base to let you mouth words and walk away.

    You had a motive, call it reason if you like, to decide to make a rather typical comment about my using Hussein. I have heard the same comment before, so I know that it wasn't original with you, but a "talking point" from Hussein's camp and camp followers.

    Tell me. Did you read it on KOS? MoveOn? Some other Leftie blog?

    The post asked if Hussein is a racist. I used his words and the definition of racism for comparsion. I didn't even mention his 20 year association with a Minister that a reasonable person would have rejected 19 years and 11
    months ago. I didn't need to.

    You know, whatever language I speak you can't answer the question.

    I'm sorry you feel threatened enough to disparage my parsing ability because of an insecurity about your own, but you really aren't making sense now.

    You had a motive, call it reason if you like, to decide to make a rather typical comment about my using Hussein.

    Yes, I said I was curious, and the comment wasn't pro or anti BHO, and was mostly an observation which you responded to with honesty and snark, much more of the latter than the former.

    so I know that it wasn't original with you, but a "talking point" from Hussein's camp and camp followers.

    Sorry, I might know some folks who are BHO supporters, but none of them brought your usage to my attention.

    Tell me. Did you read it on KOS? MoveOn? Some other Leftie blog?

    I saw your blog comment and the usage was so unusual that I felt the necessity to remark and satisfy my curiosity about it. I do not frequent either site, but I have been known to lurk at a Leftie blog you've commented at, FWIW.

    I don't think you're mentioned in either website, but like most people who demonstrate paranoid behavior, you lack a sense of proportion about common human behavior.

    The post asked if Hussein is a racist. I used his words and the definition of racism for comparsion. I didn't even mention his 20 year association with a Minister that a reasonable person would have rejected 19 years and 11

    I didn't know that being a racist entitled you to use the middle name of said racist in refering to them.

    The things I've learned on the internets!

    You know, whatever language I speak you can't answer the question.

    I just did.

    Of course, the fact that you didn't have a logical or reasonable answer to my question should be overlooked because?????????????
