And here's really a whopper, ace. Truthers believe President Obama caused the Oklahoma Tornado to distract attention away from the recent 3 so-called scandals that really aren't scandals.
Atlantic Wire:
On Sunday, six days after a furious and deadly tornado, President Obama will reportedly head to Moore, Oklahoma. It took less than 48 hours for the truthers to furiously accuse the White House — perhaps by way of George Soros — of creating the tornado itself. If you thought 9/11 conspiracy theorists were bad, or the Sandy Hook and Boston bombing truthers were reckless, Obama's meteorological manipulation — all to distract a country from three Washington scandals — well, that might be a new level of ridiculous.
"Of course there's weather weapon stuff going on — we had floods in Texas like fifteen years ago, killed thirty-something people in one night. Turned out it was the Air Force," Alex Jones said on his radio show Tuesday afternoon, adding he wasn't sure if a government "weather weapon" was used against Moore. And being "unsure" of something is exactly the way conspiracy theories work: It allows people like Jones to sow doubt, float an untrue story — in this case, about the government creating a massive tornado — while at the same time giving truthers a loophole to squeeze through, without being held accountable or stating on the record anything they actually do believe.
It was Republican leakers who pressured and demanded DOJ take measures, drastic ones if necessary,to stop the leaks to the press.

I don’t think the Republicans saw him that way
Yes, some and their supporters did. I specifically remember one GOP supporter radio talk show host in particular stating to the effect: "Go ahead, and elect him (President Obam). We (GOP) can use him."
jt6, it's apparently clear people like Matthews are pissed over the president pulling records, and what he said has little to nothing to do with present issues. Mathews is venting* his frustration.
The real problem is most saw President Obama as just another accommodating black man who'd do anything to get along, because that's what they'd become accustomed to. Since he's proven otherwise, and WON'T DO AS HE'S TOLD he's the black man that's forgotten his place.

Let the hilarity ensue:
ABC News:
The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served {snip}
Wasn't Hall Ingram a Bush appointee? Bush appointed her to the position in 2006, I believe.
excerpt: "IRS Announces Appointment of
Sarah Hall Ingram as Chief, Appeals
*WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service today announced that Sarah Hall Ingram has been appointed to the position of Chief, Appeals. Ingram will replace David Robison, effective May 7 2006.
As the head of the agency�s Appeals division, Ingram will be responsible for overseeing the operations of an administrative forum for taxpayers contesting an IRS compliance action. The Appeals mission is to resolve tax disputes without litigation; it provides an independent administrative appeal process for all taxpayers.
�I�m pleased Sarah Hall Ingram will be stepping into the position of Chief, Appeals,� said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. �Her broad legal and technical experience will serve the IRS well as she assumes this important post.�
Since July 2004, Ingram has been serving as Deputy Commissioner of the Tax Exempt/Government Entities Division (TE/GE). Ingram began her career with the IRS in the former Tax Litigation Division in 1982.

I have to say that I didn’t see that coming. After all of the big bold talk
What big talk jt?
Your attempts at goading is noted, but I won't bite.
Some I said makes you nervous or something?
I hope I'm wrong because you seem to be a fine upstanding person. It sure does seem that you are implying that whites are racist but minorities are not because their attitudes and pronouncements are based in ignorance and immaturity.
It's obvious you're a diehard tea partier. You have the same habit and way of others who've posted here for twisting words to your advantage. Nowhere in what I posted states nor implies the above in your post. Only that such racist terms as you mentioned are the result of ignorance regardless of skin color.
Don't be so coy.
We're excited about your brave actions and would like to know what actions you took.
Awaiting your providing all of the juicy details.
Keep waiting then. I like being coy. ;)
Plus, why would I feel the need to share info with anyone on this board? As long as the info has been forwarded to the rightful hands that's all that matters. :)
You should check yourself. It's apparent YOU'RE the one having a senior moment.

So your saying that if a black person called a white person a “Honky or a Cracker” the white person would be justified to respond by calling the black person a name I am not allowed to write here on this web site.
Very odd reasoning on your part, indeed.
The only thing that's odd here jt6 is your intentional misinterpretation and twisting of words.
You're trying to compare apples and collard greens. You're comparing ignorance and a lack of maturity to racism. That's quite odd for someone giving the impression of being a senior.
Plain Truth said...
Not saying there's no racism, but is fast waning
Actually, racism in America primarily against minorities, especially blacks and browns, have increased and is stronger than ever. It's just taken on a new appearance and is more institutionalized in everyday life.
One has to look no deeper and wider than America's *INjustice system to see the truth. Anything else, as some of you call black-racism, is not racism but a reaction to white racism. No different than if some stranger for no reason walked up to you and punched you in the face. Your reaction would be to swing back, no doubt.

After all, the Democratic party is the home of the KKK.
Actually, members of the KKK belonged to the DixieCRATS party, who switched heavily to the Republican Party when John Kennedy became president and many southern blacks started to register as Democrats due to Kennedy's policies on equality and the Civil Rights Movement began to gain momentum.
Who's responsible? Give us some truth, Mr. President
