That's not the same as the blatant racism we see forwarded by a couple of posters here, of which Jay is not one. Jay has plenty of legitimate cause to oppose Obama. If race is even among them, I'm sure it's a minor consideration. It seems to me that by including Jay and others in this blanket condemnation, the legitimate position opposing racist attacks directed at Obama is actually weakened substantially. |
I would like to agree with this, but can't. Jaybaugh has the opportunity to make a specific case against the agenda Obama has put forth, and elects not to, for the most part. For the most part all he does is echo the same tired crap about his Reverend, his wife, his missing lapel pin, his name, his upbringing, and other basically unsupported and anti Obama opinions that have never been connected to an Obama policy or agenda item. In fact, he claims one of the problems is the Obama agenda is "missing."
For the most part Jaybaugh does a much better job of covering up his racist motives, if that is what they are, on most topics here, but on the subject of Obama, he dabbles in the shady light of innuendo and playing on other people's bias or prejudice against Black Americans. I see very little more than a periodic squirt of some flammable racist rumors to keep the fire burning. I mean, where is the beef? Where is his dissertation on Obama's platform? Has he read the information on Obama's site and critiqued it?
His motives may not necessarily be racist, but his tactics are. Jim
