    Thanks, john carey, for being so open with your racism. Of course, that shouldn't be any indication whatsoever that any other "conservative" that is similarly obsessed with hatred for Obama is even the slightest bit racist. Heh!

    ""The American people should know that from the moment this disaster began, the federal government has been in charge of the response effort," Obama told a news conference. He was responding to criticism that his administration had been slow to act and had left BP in charge of plugging the leak." Way to own that failure.

    "Obama announced a series of new steps to deal with the aftermath of the spill, including continuing a moratorium on drilling permits for six months." This will clean up the spill how?

    Do you really think the White House said, "if you don't run against Spector we'll give you this position"? Why wouldn't "we have this position for you but we don't want to have to refill for a few years so we have to be sure you will stay in it for a while" work and not be illegal?

    ---}}} Talking point sleuth why are big butts racist?{{{--- They aren't, number three. However, the reference to a racial stereotype, two black women, and a black president is obviously racist. It really is amazing how Philly.com racist scum try to pretend they're not racist. As odious as john carey's racism is, at least he has the stones to be open about it.

    ---}}} TPS and who made you the thought police ? {{{--- Heh! PAEnglish is either so thick that he doesn't recognize the racism of john carey's post, or is just too dishonest to acknowledge its racism. How many more of Attytood's "conservatives" will likewise line up to expose their ignorance and/or dishonesty? You boyz are absolutely hilarious.

    Tps, while the "big butts" stereotype is not inherently racist, it can be used in such a manner...and john carey's post could easily be construed as such. Similarly, your consistenly and deliberate misspelling of "boyz" is not inherently racist...but you must admit that this spelling is closely associated with African-American culture, as in "Boyz II Men" or "Boyz in Da Hood". As such, and since you only use this spelling when ridiculing your adversaries...i.e., you use it disparagingly, not complimentarily...your usage can also be construed as racist in much the same way as carey's.

    ---}}} Tps, while the "big butts" stereotype is not inherently racist, it can be used in such a manner... {{{--- legatus, it wasn't the use of that term, per se, which made johnny's post racist - it was his use of that term along with only black women as a reference and in reference to Obama. But anyway, to defend extremists by attacking me remains unparalleled. FYI - previously at Attytood, I've been told by a "conservative" that "boyz" is a gay term, and so I must be gay. Now, you're telling me that it's a "black" term - and so I must be a racist. You "conservatives" really have a hard time figuring things out, don't you? Anyway, in reality, you were wrong about how I use the term. My use of the term is meant to express endearment - similar to how I use the term "our beloved ARts." You boyz never fail to amuse - such as when you laughably try to deflect the flat out racist of "conservatives" like number three. And for that, I am appreciative - not disparaging.
