Carter: Racism plays major role in opposition to Obama

carino99 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:52:47 GMT

Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that racial politics played a role in South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's speech to Congress last week and in some of the opposition the president has faced since taking office. "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Carter told "NBC Nightly News."- CNN.com

Why the Left can't stand Sarah Palin and can't bear to see her go

carino99 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:02:42 GMT

OPINION - The truth is liberals are furious they won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore – at least not with Palin's hands tied behind her back by her public office. The peculiarly venomous hatred of Palin is driven by women of the left and their whipped consorts. All that needs to happen is for a feminist to overhear two Nation readers saying, "I hate to admit it, but Palin is kind of hot." Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like a beautiful Christian conservative. (How much money has that other beautiful born-again, Carrie Prejean, been forced to spend on lawyers to respond to liberal hysteria?) - WORLD NET DAILY

Bureaucratic spamming hampered Palin governorship

carino99 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:45:00 GMT

OPINION - People close to Sarah Palin say national political reporters and pundits have missed the real reasons for her surprising decision to resign as Alaska governor. "Attacks inside Alaska and largely invisible to the national media had paralyzed her administration," someone close to the governor told me. "She was fully aware she would be branded a 'quitter.' She did not want to disappoint her constituents, but she was no longer able to do the job she had been elected to do." Since Ms. Palin returned to Alaska after the 2008 campaign, her office has been targeted for investigation by everyone from the FBI to the Alaska legislature. Family considerations also played a role. Everyone in the family was weary of endless personal attacks, including mean-spirited suggestions on liberal blogs that all of her children should have been aborted and that she would run on a presidential platform promoting retardation. - WALL STREET JOURNAL

Politicians Are People, Too

carino99 — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:02:06 GMT

OPINION - I have that thought today because of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's announcement that she is resigning. I have no idea if she is, as NPR's Politics blog so nicely headlines it, "Retreating Or Reloading." Politicians are human. If you prick them, they will bleed. If you pet them, they'll lick your hand. They're filled with anxieties, contradictions and duplicities, but I wonder what groups, including journalists, salespeople, hammer dulcimer makers or Franciscan priests, are not. - NPR.org
