Jackson Lee: Congress complicating debt ceiling because Obama is black
http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/171807-shei...
>>>snip
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.
"I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness this president,†said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?â€
Jackson Lee said Obama has been targeted unlike any other president.
"I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one," said Jackson Lee from the House floor.
"Read between the lines," she continued. "What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?"
Hint: It's not his race. It has something to do with him being a muslim and a socialist.

3. That Is All There Is To Any Of This, Ma'am
The entire Republican mass line boils down to 'This used to be a White man's country...'.

26. Okay. I agree that what BC went through was pretty bad.
I just don't think it's the same thing. And that's because my siblings are all RW fundies and I have heard the difference first hand. They would be just as bad or even worse to our first gay President as they are to Obama. No, I can say definitely worse. Because they wouldn't have to pretend they aren't homophobic since they think they have the bible on their side.
Your family admits to you that they hate obama because he's black? I doubt it. You're lying to prove a point. Not unusual though.

6. And The Tea-Baggers, Sir, Are Just Klu-Klux In Mufti....
If it were not for active and residual racism, the Republican party would not net more than fifteen percent of the national vote.
Did you forget that the KKK was a democrat organization and one had to be a democrat to join?

16. Sure, but my point is you have to understand your enemy
Otherwise you waste all your time wondering, "why are these Congress Critters so stuck on race?"
When, all the while, the Congress Critters are just taking advantage of the sorry state of their voters.
The rich DO matter, because they're the ones that pick the message and tell the M$M what to tell the great unwashed.
I'm sure you can provide just one teensy weensy example?

18. I have a migraine today so I am having a little trouble conveying my thoughts
but I agreed with you. When the fog clears I will try to reestablish my point.
Migraine has nothing to do with it.

25. Did anyone yell out "You Lie!" in the middle of Clinton's State of the Union speech?
Answer: NO. They are RACISTS and I hope they ROT IN HELL.
Well the muslim did lie ya know. What's wrong with calling a spade, a spade?

Well, just call me racist because I don't like Obama's color. It's....
RED !!!!!

So Congressman West is against Obama because he is racist? :-)

A short list of a few reasons to do all we can to limit Obama's ability to act...absolutely none of which have anything to do with his race...either of them. The facts stand that this has to be one of our most anti-business presidents ever, and his every move is geared to reducing employment and damaging the overall economy more and more. Government cannot buy us out of a recession with stolen money, it's only going to happen when they get out of the way of businesses and let profit motives drive our system again.

I have no doubt that the individuals that Devon teabags with are probably indeed racists. The individuals he/she/it associates with online (DU) appear to be racists so I see no reason he/she/it would choose people with different beliefs when she/he/it is participating in perverted sexual acts such as teabagging.

So was Obama being racist when he voted against raising the debt ceiling in 2006?

I'm not convinced Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) is dumper than the unappellated eohippus, though.
The congressman's pretty dumb, but it's disputable if she dumber than Ms. Ed.
If the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives has any expectations of being in the top primitives of 2011, she needs to go back to lighting campfires cheerleading infanticide and telling us some bouncies. She's way out of her league with any of these other topics.

Pitting Sheila Jackson Lee against the Texas dick inspector would be a monumental battle of wits, but my money is still firmly on Sheila.
Hers is a special brand of DUmbness. Remember, Horse with no Brain has learned to turn on a computer and log on to a web site.
And as far as Horse with no Brain's peculiar expertise is concerned, I'm willing to bet ol' Sheila had checked out at least a few hundred by her late teens.

Some of them rotten, which is how she became the way she is. The same thing killed Al Capone.

Let's be fair to Al Capone here--he had a rotten dick; not he handled rotten dicks.

My inference was that Horse got the way she is because of syphilis.
BESIDES. It's the DUmp. How do we know that Horse doesn't have a dick? :tongue:
