A genuine question for Conservatives and others who don't like Obama

[CountDeMoney]

If he were white, nobody would give a shit about the teleprompters.

It isn't a good idea to overplay the black card.

[Berkut]

If he were white, nobody would give a shit about the teleprompters.

Of course they would. Just like they cared about the white man lying about hummers, or the other white mans NG record, and the OTHER white mans purple heart.

I agree, the black card should be reserved for the birthers or people who call Obama a "Welfare thug".

Oh don't get me wrong, I play it too, just not everyday.

[Zoupa]

I already answered that Valmy.

The only people who care are those who think they can get some traction out of it. They don't "really" care, just like nobody really cared if Clinton lied about getting a hummer.

If nobody cares how does the issue get traction? Is it people who don't really care about an issue pushing it in the hope that there are people out there who do care? Seems a bit arse about face, but then a lot of things do.

They are all polite ways to say "he's a filthy nigger". And people care about that.

bingo.

The Obamaniacs will never admit that attacks on him are politics as usual.  Save your breath.

They are fixated on race even more than Obama's critics.

The birther issue strikes me as thinly-veiled racism, but the teleprompter issue doesn't seem like that.

The teleprompter one just strikes me a bizarre.  It's like attacking the President for misrepresenting his true height because he wears shoes.

[Scipio]

The birther issue in principle is not racist; persisting in it after the long-form birth certificate is released is, however.

It's a legitimate question whether the President was born where he says he was born.  What's not legitimate is the objection that if he were born outside of the United States he would not be a natural-born citizen under the circumstances alleged.

I agree with you but I don't think the crowd that was obsessed with this was/is interested in it for the same reason that you might be.  I don't think studying constitutional issues is something most of them spend lots of time doing.

I think that some of them think they spend their time studying constitutional issues, but that study consists of uncritically lapping up the constitutional "scholarship" of the likes of Bachmann, Limbaugh, etc., as opposed to analyzing treatises, reviewing case reports, etc.   There is a similarity in methods with the tax protestor nuts.

I believe we are basically in agreement.
