NRA Vs. GOP

[georjec2]

Why is it when someone disagrees with this president it is called racism?

Because so often it is. Mom, I'm not into the black/white thing as a lifestyle focus. I'm more American and proud than black and proud. But what I have seen of the way people talk about Pres.Obama and to him and the fact that he's the first black president, cannot be ignored. When has a congressperson, governor or news reporter disrespected a sitting president to his face as often and as freely as they have Barack Obama ? Refer me to the incident and I will retract my statement. Let see how far you have to dig.

georjec2, I appreciate your response. But not every time does it have to do with racism when it comes to disagreeing with the president.

In my lifetime I have witnessed many negatives things said about presidents not just Obama.

That's a flat out lie. Obama has been the most pro-gun president we've had in recent history. Not a single anti-gun law has passed under Obama. No one has had a gun removed because of Obama. But several pro-gun laws have passed under Obama.

The facts are out there, the fact people lie about Obama's gun record just shows the utter racism out there against him. Because it's not his gun position that the NRA types hate him.

The far-right has to use FEAR as their tool. Because they have nothing else.

It's nothing of the sort. Quit calling people liars, wipe the froth from your mouth and read.

" The NRA is afraid of Obama's voting record before he became president.

Look at it, he never saw a piece of antigun legislation that he didn't like."

"Obama's history in support of strict gun control measures prior to becoming president makes it difficult for him to claim he's a Second Amendment champion, even though he signed a bill allowing people to take loaded guns into national parks."

Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban

Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok
Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions

and the list goes on.

Plus, he's black.

Dude, seriously, is that the best you've got?

when all else fails, tilt head back and yell loudly,

"That's Racist!"

How about any day in the Bush II administration? LOL.

100% agreed. But when before this president has so many people disliked him (the president) because of his race ?

As I've stated before my interpretation of a racist is a person who thinks they are superior to another person because of that person's race. The white guy down the Inner Harbor whose family outing is interrupted by a volley of curse words by a black person who then thinks to him/herself "miggers" is only a racist if along with that thought they are thinking they are racially superior. The white family that moves out because 'Pookie en dem' moved next store is not necessarily racist by a long shot. They may just have liked the peace and quiet before the Pit Bull kennel went up in the back yard and the full box stereo speakers blasted Hip-Hop during the weekly car washings. Time to move if possible.

That there are people who automatically and consciously think they are a superior race to all blacks is inescapable. I know black people who feel the same way about whites but in my experience they are not many.

Always a pleasure !

Well its something since the white candidate has taken the same stances on most issues as the black president yet a certain element refuses to see that

^^^^ Ladies and gentlemen, here's another rant by the board's biggest racist. Sadly, the white liberal elite enables his type of racism and gives him credence when he points the fingers at others. Still, he's the one that goes to bed with hatred and vitriol towards people that don't look like him.

[Wild Eyed Southern Boy]

Yep, It looks like the ol' NRA bit itself in the buttocks.

FYI, Looks like old mitchum spoke too soon.

They may have bitten somebody but it certainly wasn't its own buttocks.

Current State Rep. Debra Maggart, R-Hendersonville, suffered a large defeat to newcomer Courtney Rogers, (who was backed by the NRA).

The GOP doesn't have to do a thing to cater to the NRA. It's not like they are going to vote for Obama... Although Obama has passed laws favoring the NRA, like allowing loaded guns into national parks and Obama hasn't passed a single law to take away guns.

Nor has he raised taxes. But all that doesn't seem to matter to the repubs. He's evil whatever he does. The funny part is he governs like a repub. The world is insane.

100% correct.

Sure, I'll explain it to you. First of all remember that most racist don't even know they are racist.

But in this example, Obama has proven over and over that he is pro-gun. His record confirms this. Heck, you can even argue that the fake-Fast and Furious scandal is Obama being pro-gun to the extreme. Therefore, if your issue is being against gun control, you should be in favor of Obama or at least give him credit for being so pro-gun.

However, almost all of those who are the NRA types hate Obama and give him no credit for the pro-gun laws. So we can deduct they don't hate Obama because of his stance on guns. Obama has followed the agenda of the NRA since in office. Therefore, there must be another reason. I maintain it's racism and hate. The NRA types continue to puppet up lies like "Obama is going to take your guns away". We know it is a lie to say Obama is going to take your guns away,

If the NRA came out and said they supported Obama's gun positions but didn't support his other agenda, then I would say their dislike of him isn't based on racism but on facts. The evidence shows otherwise, it's racism and hate that drives these people. No other conclusion can be drawn.

You are truly stupid and probably a racist.

[Cetshwayo]

Plus, he's black.

So is Clarence Thomas and we revere him.

National Rifle Assoc doesn't care about his other positions! Only the gun issue.

Most obama voters vote for him regardless of his politics but soley because of his race and that makes them racists.

Thus anyone who votes for obama is a racist, anyone who votes against him is a racist, everyone who votes when obama runs for president is a racist.

He's bringing us together as a country, healing............

[cprenegade]

Nor has he raised taxes. But all that doesn't seem to matter to the repubs. He's evil whatever he does. The funny part is he governs like a repub. The world is insane.

Then one can make the opposite case. If that is true, and Obama governs like a repub, why do democrats still support him? And take it one step further. Many dems try to make the case that Romney governed more as a liberal than a conservative as a governor. So why would the left vote for a president that has governed more like the other side, over a candidate that they claim is more liberal? It all comes down to what the two party system has done. It pits party A against party B. Doesn't much matter what either says, just make sure you vote for them. It wouldn't matter if Obama invaded every nation in the Middle East and exonorated everyone making over $250,000 from paying taxes, the democrats would still vote for him. It wouldn't matter if Romney proposed a wealth redistribution scale and pulled troops out of every country in the world, the right would still vote for him. Welcome to politics 101. Something both parties figured out a long time ago. Talk about reaching across the aisle, but keep both sides at each others throats. The more bitter the venom being spewed, the more solidified and rock solid the base is. People have only themselves to blame. They have bought into this long running political broadway show for quite some time.

Obama has proven over and over that he is pro-gun. His record confirms this.

Really? This would be a good time to show some evidence in support. Don't forget about his record BEFORE becoming president.

[bullmikey]

I suspect we won't see the "real" Obama until after the next election.

I imagine it's that "more flexible" Obama that's got the NRA and like minded folks worried.
