Once We’re Done With the One Aspirin Remark, Can We Return To The 1,000 Weeks of Racism and Anti-Americanism?

Monique Chartier

Let me affirm up front that Foster Friess’ chestnut observation was notably asinine and unfunny. No, I'm not pasting it here; click on the link to read the comment if you haven't yet heard it. Mr. Friess needs to stick to his day job and leave the humor to the professionals.

Having said that, in a side matter, upon reflection, I am indebted to Mr. Friess for making the comment, as it inspired Barney Frank to utter this gem.

no, it's an affirmation of the fact that intelligence is not uniform across the board. mr. friess is good at some things that made him very rich, but he also appears to have moronic tendencies.

Indeed, Congressman Dining Tabl … er, Frank, intelligence is not uniform across the board.

What’s interesting is how the media immediately tried to tack this comment to Rick Santorum. I don’t watch t.v. – someone give us an update: are they still doing so?

But in one way, this is good news. For if this is a worthy endeavor, the expose of the rantings of President Barack Obama’s preacher for twenty years – and a full examination of the implications about President Obama’s views on race and the United States – surely must be many times more worthwhile.

After all, the Friess comment was a single utterance of stupidity with no indication of concurrence by Santorum. Yet President Obama called Reverend Wright

his mentor, his moral compass, his sounding board on matters of politics

And with his presence in the pew week after week, President Obama appears to have affirmed twenty years of hatred and anger directed at the country and certain of the people that he now represents.

... or did he? I look forward to the media leading us on this exploration.

Comments

Reading all the anger, hatred and lies being written by rightwingers about President Obama makes me wonder what this swirling torrent of rage will eventually lead to ? Especially when he gets re-elected in 2012. Will they finally stop whining the way they have been now for 3 years? Will they finally shut up and realize that most people don't share their hate filled narrow minded view of what America should be?
Because frankly, most people I know support the President. And most people I know also recognize that the main challenges facing America are products of the eight disastrous years GWB was in the White House

Most people Sammy The Democratic Troll hangs around with are Democrats.
Therefore, most Americans are Democrats.
Q.E.D.

Sammy, how much are you getting paid by the Obama Campaign to post your drivel?

Slammin' Sammy I can assure you most people here in Texas do not support the fraud in the White House. Wait until November...they will prove it.

Hatred,anger toward the president? How old are you Sammy...3? Remember George W. and the lamestream media?.... Idiot Dan Rather made up stuff and passed it off as the truth on the nightly "news". How about the treatment of "dumb" Dan Quayle? Did you hear Obama's comment about the 57 States of America? Of course you didn't. The media did not report it. However I'll bet you know how to spell potato(e).

Spammy Sammy and his ilk have worn out the word hate just like racist and bigot. They've become liberal labels for anyone who disagrees.

Of course everything written under the heading "Obamanation" is going to be a thoughtful analysis of the performance of the current resident of the White House.
