Saying the President Likes Golf is now Racist
Via the Washington Free Beacon, here’s Lawrence O’Donnell and Martin Bashir talking about the GOP’s coded racism:
MARTIN BASHIR: We have seen an early draft of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s forthcoming oration. Can I quote something from you? “For four years, Barack Obama has been running from the nation’s problems, he hasn’t been working to earn re-election. He has been working to earn a spot on the PGA Tour.” How about that?
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Well, we know exactly what he’s trying to do there. He is trying to align to Tiger Woods and surely, the — lifestyle of Tiger Woods with Barack Obama. Obviously, nothing could be further from the truth. They find every way they possibly can to –
BASHIR: Lawrence — don’t you think — don’t you think that what he’s really trying to do is to suggest that the president is not paying attention to the central issues that come with the responsibility he has? Is he really – Mitch McConnell really making a connection with Tiger Woods who, of course, has become infamous for chasing various cocktail waitresses around Las Vegas and so on?
O’DONNELL: Martin, there are many, many, many rhetorical choices you can make at any point in any speech to make whatever point up want to make. If he wanted to make the point that you just suggested and I think he does want to make that point, they had a menu of a minimum of ten different kinds of images that they could have raised. And I promise you, the speech writers went through, rejecting three or four before they land order that one. That’s the one they want for a very deliberate reason. That — there’s – these people reach for every single possible racial double entendre they can find in every one of these speeches.
BASHIR: You really believe that about Mitch McConnell?
O’DONNELL: I know these people are insensitive. I know the speechwriters are insensitive. I know the way they work. They do not have the same sensitivity level that other speechwriters do. But when you get to the Tiger Woods reference, there were people in the speech writing room, I know this, without a shadow of a doubt, who said wait a minute, do we really want to go there? Do we really want to go to Tiger Woods and the vote in the room was yes, we do. Mitch McConnell agreed to do it.
BASHIR: Wow. Things are getting lower and lower by the day.

O'Donnell the Mind Reader: For his next amazing trick, watch him turn the President's Name into a racial slur!
Now according to the language gastapo saying another bad about Obama is RACSIS and must be severly punished like it is under any dictator
There's never been a better example of how the liberal mind works. Or doesn't, depending on one's viewpoint.
Lawrence O’Donnell is the ultimate example of a rabid, radical leftist who knows, thanks to his highly-abused "free press" protections, that he can say "anything" he wishes without having to worry about silly things like facts and liableous statements.
It's people like O'Donnell and another radical Lefitst, Chris Matthews, who should cause the American people to ask themselves a very serious question;
When a "journalist" crosses the line and becomes an obvious political operative, should they continue to enjoy their unlimited Constitutional press protections?
2:48, the strange thing is that it isn't white conservatives obsessed with race, it's everyone else.
Sane people couldn't even come up with crap like this as a joke.
Hello, earth to whining libs, Obama criticized Bush for occasionally playing golf. Then he proceeds to play more golf in his first year as pres than Bush did in eight!
Hey 4:21,
President Obama has been on vacation 78 days from 2009 to 2011. At the three year mark into their first terms, George W. Bush spent 180 days at his ranch in Crawford, Texas and Ronald Reagan spent 112 vacation days at his ranch in California. Of course, staff was around all three Presidents on vacations and all White House aides argue that the commander-in-chief is never “out of touch” with work.
Looks like the main qualification to become President of the United States of America is a love of golf, and maybe a future career in it later.
Obama may like golf. But Bush certainly enjoyed chopping wood and clearing brush at his sprawling ranch in Crawford.
Different streaks for different freaks.
Hey 4:28,
I didn't say they couldn't take vacations. I was commenting on the golf issue. It is ironic that Obama criticizes rich, then enjoys the games of the rich while the country is going down in flames. Maybe we should compare this president to Nero who fiddled while Rome burned.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
A past President was having an affair with his intern. One day, their passions overcame them and they took off for her house, where they made passionate love all afternoon. Exhausted from the wild sex, they fell asleep, awakening around 8:00 pm. As the man threw on his clothes, he told the woman to take his shoes outside and rub them through the grass and dirt. Mystified, she nonetheless complied. He slipped into his shoes and drove home.
"Where have you been" demanded his wife when he entered the house.
"Darling, I can't lie to you. I've been having an affair with my intern and we've been having sex all afternoon. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until eight o'clock."
The wife glanced down at his shoes and said, "You lying bastard! You've been playing golf!".
I guess to liberals FREE SPEECH is for them alone since they seem to wanta monarcy which our FOUDING FATHERS totaly rejected after all WILLIAM the FINK was their first KING now its BARACK the BAD
And lead by a liberal demacrat to annon 12:23
Ah, I feel the hate here. Your hate makes me stronger.
Who the he*l is "WILLIAM the FINK" ??
Man, those time signatures are messed up!
The Bird who never does go away, and never learns to spell either, was possibly referring to William the First of England, aka William the Conqueror(?).
