TOMMY CHRISTOPHER – apparently – HAS RACIST THOUGHTS IN HIS HEAD
Mediaites’s ugly reporter (both visually and mentally) Tommy Christopher, is calling Romney’s latest campaign slogan racist.
This is exasperatingly farcical.
I could look at this banner all day and not see it as racist. In fact, this is a great litmus test for who the racists are. Unlike Tommy boy, I don’t sit around looking at Obama, or looking at people looking at Obama, through a goddamn race filter. These leftists are obsessed with this stuff.
Christopher says – “The slogan is a multiple entendre, but one of those entendres, intentionally or not, is evocative of a nasty racial stereotype about black men.”
When I first saw the banner this afternoon, the multiple meanings were clear: President Obama‘s policies aren’t working, the Obama presidency isn’t working, President Obama…isn’t working, as in, doing any work. That’s not a nice thing to say about any president, but like it or not, it becomes a more loaded accusation when leveled at our first black president.
Just to be sure it wasn’t just me, though, I asked several friends about the banner, and four out of four pointed out, unprompted, the stereotype of the “lazy,” “shiftless” black man. One of the people I called was cable news fixture Goldie Taylor, who, upon hearing my description of the banner, said “Are you kidding me? You have got to be kidding me.”
She also noted the multiple meanings, and the unmistakable stereotype it evokes, but didn’t think it was intentional. “That’s what happens when you don’t surround yourself with a diverse array of people,” she said.
!snip!
No, shitheel, this is what happens when you surround yourself with race-baiters.
Obama says he is about “putting people to work.” Romney’s team says, essentially, Obama’s plan to put people to work isn’t working. Obama doesn’t work. Or, Obamanomics doesn’t work.
You know what works? THIS SLOGAN. It would work just as well no matter what color this socialist dreamer was. But keep on race-baiting every utterance made from the right-wing, It’s a stellar plan with absolutely no blowback whatsoever.
Look at this hideous bastard. He looks like Patton Oswalt’s greasier, and less funny, brother.

So Tommy Christopher thinks Blacks are lazy and shiftless? His words, right? No wonder white leftists think Blacks aren’t civilized enough to be expected to get state IDs.
And no leftist looks as white as little Tommy.

Talk about a stretch. I bet he uses a toothpick to retrieve the last bit of yogurt from the container.
Add another name to the long list of liberal FAILS.

Good thing little Tommy just outed his true thoughts in a fake defense attack.
Once again the left taking truth into the world of a twisted leftwing metaphor.
Even though on a side note, he never has worked a day in his life…and in his own interview said “he was lazy”
So did little Tommy get upset by Obama calling himself a shiftless lazy blackman?

I think we’re gonna need buttons that say, “WE’RE ALL RACISTS NOW”

What’s wrong with this guy’s head?
I mean that in a “multiple entendre” kind of way.

Not surprising he finds racism everywhere he looks. From his appearance he must spend a lot of time proving he is a member of the human race.

Let’s spell it out for, Tommy:
Obama isn’t working, and neither is much of America thanks to his socialist policies.

At some point, Obama supporters will have to point to something this administration has done that is working instead of merely claiming any negative critism is “racist.” Although, come to think of it, the administration race-baiting scheme does seem to be working.

Soooo, let me get this straight:
Tommy sees the phrase “Not Working”, and immediately thinks of black people.
And he is NOT racist, right?
Right?
I’m just trying to keep up with the logic. Or understand the punchline.

Race card? isn’t that the very opposite that their dear ML King dreamed of? I read the banner 3 times trying to figure out how it could be twisted to be racist. the letters are white? background grey?
the message is clear. O is not doing his job as defined by the Constitution. Protect and defend the USofA. everything he has done has weakened this once great country. If you take offense to that you are as guilty as he is of not upholding the Constitution.

The media maggotry has nothing with which to defend BO – his only successes were detrimental to America and they don’t want to let that particular cat out of the bag.
Whatta they gonna say?
“The most corrupt president of all time.”
“Brought us closer to socialism than Wilson and Roosevelt, combined.”
“A bigger fukkup than Carter!”
“Destroyed the greatest economy on Earth.”
“Enslaved millions of Americans to welfare.”
“Funnelled billion$ to Soros and his cronies.”
“Stole so much Daley went back to Chicago in shame.”
