Monday, on the Michael Smerconish radio show, Rep. Hank Johnson(D-GA) accused Dr. Ben Carson of whipping his ignorant supporters into a “frenzy” and creating a “lynch-mob” mentality against president Obama.
After saying that he thought that President Obama was one of “..the greatest presidents that we’ve had in the history of this nation,” Johnson went on to say that Obama’s opponents have engaged in an effort to personally dehumanize the president.
He went on to single out Dr. Carson and his supporters accusing Carson on using his race to tap into the ignorance of the American people.
This, of course coming from an elected official who is best known for raising concerns, in a House hearing that the island of Guam might literally capsize due to over-population“To the extent that we have African-Americans trying to tap into that vein of ignorance. African-Americans like Dr. Ben Carson who is a very smart well-educated man and knows exactly what he’s doing. When we have blacks like that trying to tap into the ignorance of people who have been whipped into a frenzy, like a lynch mob, and you go to try to garner support from those folks, I think it’s very disappointing that we would have that kind of political discourse going on in this country. Appealing to the lowest common denominator, there could be nothing more disappointing than that kind of thinking.”Wow!
These morons will stop at nothing
Talk about whipping people into a frenzy,OWS and Ferguson?
Johnson went on to say that Obama’s opponents have engaged in an effort to personally dehumanize the president.
ReplyDeleteThat is true, Anyone who perused the far right weblogs sooner or later has ran into graphics depicting President Obama as a monkey with a bone through his nose eating a banana and MUCH WORSE. In fact such graphics have been posted right here on this site from time to time.
It is with some certainty that I say Dr. 4Ben Carson in no way would stoop to such vulgar practices as to dehumanize the president. He is after all a fine neurosurgeon (retired) and an upstanding Christian.
We need to ask Rep. Hank Johnson if Guam has capsized yet. Obama has been attacked far less than G.W. Bush, who was portrayed as a monkey as well. Those who do not feel that "tingle up their leg" saw Obama for the phony that he was. Obama is all about race. Obama was brought up by power brokers such as Soros and by the Hollywood/NYC Media Elites. Obama was Biden's "clean articulate black man with a history of radicalism-what we know of his history.. They had to throw over Hillary for Obama. Although born in the USA, Obama's thinking has a foreign accent, the "Dreams From His Father". His dream is to put the USA in its place, because to him, our successes have been ill gotten gain. If Dr. Ben Carson is elected POTUS, it will because of his message and not his pigmentation. Dr. Carson is the antithesis of Barack Obama and the antithesis of Rep. Hank Johnson as well....
DeleteSpot on Syn and Dr Carson scares the left because he is very smart and is a great American success story,and since they can't dig up any dirt on him, they have to whip their base into a frenzy over him with lies and distortions
DeleteIndeed I laugh heartily. Primarily at the hypocrisy you display. Do you recall the uproar over President Obama's lack of experience. Well, Carson has ZERO experience in politics or government. Guess that's peachy if it's a republican eh?
DeleteScared, I highly doubt it. Most progressives (lefties) I know are hoping he gets the nod.
Well, I disagree with Johnson. Carson supporters aren't a lynch mob, that's cheap hyperbole but they are dumb as hammers.
DeleteAs for being scared of Carson.
Please, he guarantees a Dem presidential win and he'll keep standup comics loaded with material right from the start of the primaries. Nominate him. We beg you.
Wrong kind of Negro, eh Ducky? You'd only support him if he were a card carrying Communist with a chip on his shoulder the size of Gibraltar who had bombed at least two buildings to rubble and murdered at least one policemen before he was elevated to a professorship in Law, Sociology or Minority Grievance Studies at one of our more prestigious Progressive Universities.
DeleteWell, as Betty Boop, that immortal icin of American popular taste, would say, "Poo Poo Pa-Doo to You, Lulu!"

DeleteYou know I don't support religious freaks, FT.
DeleteGood one FT yep exactly the point,he's the "wrong" kind of negro but only the left can't see beyond color even when they get all righteous
DeleteThat is not a common thing RN ,no more than graphics of Bush on far left blogs.
ReplyDeletePlus their words were much worse than their graphicsat times
And the left and the media are notorius for demeaning conservatives
Lisa, when we talk to turds, they tend to talk back. The nauseating stench from their foul breath overpowers the room, suffocates sensitive souls, and drives decent people away. The less said to turds the better in my proudly arrogant opinion. };-)>
DeleteThat's why you're never spoken to, bobo.
Delete^Who wrote that? RN. Lame: "I told you are but what am I?"^
DeleteAs a turd FreeThinke you would know.
DeleteNice try Lisa but no cigar.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with honest criticism of the president, any president from either party, and there is nothing wrong with caricatures of the president that are not meant to disrespect or dehumanize the man.
If you want to email me links with caricatures of Bush as dehumanizing (or racist) as ones of Obama I'd love to see them. But you won't because you can't.
The media? I assume you mean MSNBC. Well that may be so, and then you have FOX. But in reality it is the weblogs that domost of the demeaning.
Oh, and some of the reservation politicians.
DeleteWell RN I really don't feel like going back 10 years to find them
ReplyDeleteShould be easy for you. Just goggle em. You are so confident of your statement. I am surprised you aren't going to post a few, just to prove your point.
DeleteRN you said it first so let's see your links to prove your statement
ReplyDeleteNope, search your own archives of racist caricatures Lisa. I made a statement you know is accurate as do others. You then countered with a highly questionable statement most know is untrue. So your bait and switch won't fly.
ReplyDeleteAgain Lisa no cigar.
Rational Nation USA should be the spokesman for the Blacks, rather than Al Sharpton!
DeleteReally Sarah, on what basis do you make that statement? I certainly can empathize with the judicial injustices blacks have been subjected to over the years but I cannot book the anarchy and criminal behavior of the looters and rioters who have destroyed private property and bussinesses.
DeleteUppers, I'd call a spade a spade. Without the BS that is Sharpton's hallmark.
"... Obama’s opponents have engaged in an effort to personally dehumanize the president."
ReplyDeleteDon't you think he's done a marvelous job of doing that all by himself?
More hyperbolic claptrap FreeThinke.
DeleteThe President has n oink t dehumanized himself. All honest people know this.
No cigar Groucho.
Lol FT Yep he sure did a good job all by himself
DeleteLeftists have nothing left to fight with these days but their usual timeworn tactics of portraying Truth as a Lie, and Lies as the Truth. That plus the incessant barrage of naysaying, catcalling, name calling, snide insults, and attempts to change the subject they use in their tireless efforts to demean, overpower, and drown out the Truth.
ReplyDeleteThey are failing and they know it. What else could account for this week's traitorous move on the part of despicable Dianne Feinstein to further discredit the last BUSH administration -- as though that had any relevance to the crises we face today?
BAH HUMBUG!
These bastards are as transparent as glass. Why they even bother to continue staging their grimy, illegitimate insurgencies against the country that made them rich we cannot know. They have colossal effrontery and no shame whatsoever, and they count on the Republican's fear of losing popularity and their unfortunate capacity ever to avoid confrontation, just as they know that those who make the loudest noise are most apt to garner the lion's share of public attention.
More sophistry, hyperbole, names calling and BS from the sage of piety. Did I mention hypocrisy?
DeleteI am not a "leftist" but individuals such as yourself make me embarrassed to admit being a Classical Liberal, which is to say a conservative.
Merry Christmas FreeThinke and I mean that in every sense of the spirit of the season.
Since American liberals constantly compare the USA to Europe, how about American liberals start joining Europeans... instead of "African Americans" and Illegal Immigrants that have zero cultural Influence, connections, affiliations or acceptance in European society, culture and life ?
ReplyDeleteThe Fact is that : The average European has never seen a "African American", and couldn't care less about them..
YOU liberals better wake up to the facts of life in the real world, and understand that there are people out there who hate and want to kill Americans, no matter how much the current president apologizes and tries to appease them, no matter how many Kings he bows to, no matter how many tin horn south American dictators he jokes with and plays second fiddle to.Of course there are... And throughout almost all of our American history, we have responded to those who wish to kill us .. Instead, we have taken the high road and maintained those values that make America worth fighting for in the first place. When we Americans haven't lived up to our values, and vowed to do better, Shit happens..
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I just can NOT agree with the policies or the actions of the current president! And for that matter, I feel that these people that Obama associates with like Al Sharpton, Jay Zee, and that ilk are also doing so much damage to this country, that I do not honestly believe we can survive it, At least in my life-time.
When before in America's history did LOW-LIFE'S such as those have the right to "sit down" with the President, Governor, or the Mayor to voice their opinions? NEVER!
Jay Z received some backlash this week when he posed for a photo with Brooklyn Nets players wearing #ICantBreathe shirts, in honor of Eric Garner, but not Hov.
ReplyDeleteInstead of protest and marching Jay took his star power right to the politicians. In a sit down with Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday, Jay talked potential reform to the state’s criminal justice system.
WHAT KIND OF BULL-SHIT IS THIS!
When two rappers like Jay Z and Russell Simmons who “sing” about KILLING COPS and CALLING WOMEN Hoe’s etc. they lost their right to complain about prosecuting police, and matters such as this!
ReplyDeleteThese punks are clueless about what’s happening in the real world. More proof that our society has become a haven for lazy good for nothing leaches.
Oh the continuing narrative.
DeleteComplete with the generalities and guilt by reason of color.
Delete
ReplyDeleteIn what year did the cops become a bunch of Black killing racist? You liberals are a joke. . You Leftists think because you listen to a few brothas Rap, that you are an authority on Racist Cops?
More hyperbolic BS.
DeleteI guess that because you Leftist dingbats have a few black friends, that makes you SOOOOO cool that you can relate to that RAP- CRAP!
ReplyDeleteMore name calling, innuendos, and BS.
DeleteTime to bring out FreeThinkes mirrors.
No it's time for Lisa to get RID of SCUM like YOU. who has nothing else to do but come here to insult her commentors.
DeleteOnly after having been lavishly insulted by them.
DeleteSuch is your comment. Scum like me? I rest my case Rot-Weiler.
I will say Lisa as shown much more restraint than most of her regular commenters.
Even to mention a character like Barack Obama in the same paragraph with Dr. Ben Carson betrays a morally blind, intellectually deficient, and incredibly obtuse worldview. Any attempt to equate or even compare the great surgeon's "lack of experience" in the political realm with the lack of experience of this pathetic excuse for a head of state is absurd.
ReplyDeleteDr. Carson is a man of substance and solid accomplishment in a difficult, extraordinarily demanding field. President Obama's accomplishments are illusory. He's little more than an accomplished bullshit artist whose thin veneer of surface charm has worn away because of his arrogance and manifest ineptitude.
There is no basis for comparison between a highly creative, leading practitioner of neurosurgery at one of our finest, most prestigious hospitals, and a Community Organizer with sharp elbows and an over-inflated ego from the streets of Chicago.
In truth our president is little more than a pretentious thug in a Brook's Brothers suit, while Dr. Carson is a true gentleman and a scholar.
Unfortunately, the great America Public tends to adore flashy fakers and meretricious mountebanks while blithely ignoring meritorious men and women who really count for something of intrinsic value.
Ahh very well put FT,you sure pegged the self centered child president.
DeleteDr Carson has more character and appeal in his pinky nail than our current resident and most of our current senators and congressional leaders combined.
The left has nothing except to flap off about his lack of experience.
He is so smart,he sounds like he has been in the game for a long time.
What the country isn't craving is another left wing progressive from Harvard
Nice sidestepping FreeThinke.
ReplyDeleteAside from your vehement dislike for President Obama (whatever the reasons may be) the fact remains that experience is experience and I recall the argument Obama lacked credible experience having used it myself in posts and comments.
Obama has a legal backgrou background and he entered the office with both state and federal legislative experience. Carson has NONE of the preceeding.
Carson is accomplished and highly respected in his field of expertise. Yes he is a man of substance, although IMO he does have a rather narrow and almost myopic worldview.
I did not vote for Obama and if by some unexplainable miracle Carson should be nominated by the republicans I will not vote for him either.
I agree with your assessment of the great "American Public" made up of both republicans and democrats, liberals and republicans.
Why shouldn't DingleBarry be dehumanized? He certainly didn't marry one.
DeleteThank you for pointing out once again your true colors RRR.
DeleteLisa, do you really need or want this POS RN insulting the people who come to your blog?
ReplyDeleteI would think not.
Why not throw him back under the rock from where he came!
More name calling from a usual "have nothing to say" gas bag..
DeleteI think he's fun to play with Anon
DeletePersonally I think that RN has been "Playing " with himself too much.
DeletePersonally who gives a rats arse what a dimwit like you thinks.
DeleteLOL, the little Pansy has his panties in a wad.
DeleteFunny thing Lisa, I know doing the same thing elicits the same idiotic babble from the usual characters. So just who is being played with?
ReplyDeleteYou guys make this so easy.
