I’m sitting here watching Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity discuss the intonations of African-American speech patterns and decry Barack Obama’s invocations of race hatred, presumably because I have some yearning to watch performance art. I don’t know. I also wonder, what happened to Tucker Carlson? In any case, here’s the big picture I see here. You don’t imagine you’ve got a big shocker story like this unless you really think you’ve got something big. And that tells me that there’s a big chunk of rightwing America living in a cocoon in which black people even talking about racism or race at all is ipso facto shocking. I think Americans know Barack Obama is black. -- Josh Marshall
So... Is Tucker Carlsom gonna break out videos of Jeremy Lin speaking a few words of Chinese in his China/Taiwan trip, too?

I'm sure like me, most of you have had your whole world turned upside down by this utterly earth-shattering release. Maybe we should form a support group to figure out how to deal with this unbelievable, shocking, revolutionary news story.
Didn't basso start a thread a while back expressing incredulity over his children exhibiting racist behavior? lol
basso I need you to come back and help me make sense of all of this! You or Ja Rule. Damnit where is Ja!?!?!
The news here is Obama is a fake, pandering, race- baiting liar. Many of us have known this for 4 years. Now the rest of the country knows. Whether they care, we shall find out in a few weeks.
Yes, that's the real story. Thank goodness the truth is finally out there. What a revealing, shocking, and frightening revelation! Thank goodness we have an alternative like Romney. The people that knew it for 4 years have had such clear insight. How did those people do it? Were they psychics? Well now the rest of us know the truth. Even if we came to it later than those that knew it for 4 years.
Clearly, the new poll numbers will reflect the magnitude of this new development by then (with the caveat that they may require further unskewing first--but that goes without saying).
No, the real story is that there is no story. The Republicans have spent 5 years trying to find anything... and other than Rev. Wright in 2008 have found NOTHING. First it was the 15 year old tape, which did not impact the election in anyway, and now it is this garbage. The fact that Fox and the Republican journalists hype up this nonsense only makes it more glaringly obvious that they are desperate. Romney may win the election, but it will not be over garbage BS like this. It will be because of the economy and voter apathy from the left. You should be embarrassed hyping this crap.
The LA Times still refuses to release the Khalidi tape. Gotta cover for their boy. I did enjoy the part where he said that black people won't show up to work on time without a government program. Really? It takes a government to wean them off BPT?
