Donald Trump Praises Confederacy, Tells Obama ‘Get Off Basketball Court’

COLUMN
» 168 comments

While Ed Schultz‘s declaration that Donald Trump is “a racist” might still be an overstatement, Trump wasted little time in making Schultz look like a genius. In a press conference about President Obama’s release of his long-form birth certificate, Trump blew hard on the dogwhistle, saying that Obama should “get off the basketball court,” and later called Confederate rebels “wonderful,” “beautiful,” “romantic,” and “great.”

Speaking about the recent sharp rise in oil prices, Trump said “(Obama) said ‘There’s no control over prices,’ which he does if he gets on the phone, or gets off his basketball court.”

Seconds later, speaking about his suspicions that the Libyan rebels are controlled by Iran and al Qaeda, Trump said, “We make them sound like they’re out of Gone With the Wind, they’re wonderful, the beautiful rebels, it’s so romantic, they’re great.”

On its own, the basketball thing might be a reach, but in context with other attacks on Obama’s love of the game, along with the fact that he apparently spends much more time on the golf course, it’s difficult to dismiss.

What makes it impossible to dismiss, though, is Trump’s accompanying praise for Confederate “rebels” as “Wonderful,” “beautiful,” “romantic,” and “great.” Trump is either more Clueless than an Alicia Silverstone/Amy Heckerling film retrospective, or he’s blowing harder on that dogwhistle than the Buffalo Bills blow in the Super Bowl.

Update: A glitch in the Mediaite CMS is for some reason, not publishing this story with a “columnist” heading, as it should be.

Here’s that portion of Trump’s presser, from Fox News:

    I know what you mean, Tommy. Someone once told me that most of the players in the NBA are black. I was outraged!

  • VoiceofReason

    Wow, Count Hackula, wow.

    I guess it never occurred to you that since GWTW is a ROMANCE MOVIE set against the back drop of the civil war, where gentlemen court ladies and much of it deals with love, that Trump could have simply been calling out those who are romaticizing ALL OF THE ALLEDGED “FREEDOM FIGHTERS” currently warring in the ME and pointing out that we really don’t know shit abou them other than what we are being spoonfed by lickspittles like you.

    I guess Margaret Mitchell was a racist too which is what you infer with your bullshit about Trump professing his love and reverence for The Confederacy. Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh as well? They had to know what kind of people those nasty southerns were and agreed to not only appear but to profit (the horrors!!) for the production.

    How about Hattie McDaniel or Butterfly McQueen? They racists too or did the masta MAKE them appear in this racist tribute to those dastardly Confederates.

    This is where bias gets in you hot water. Since you hate Trump because he dares challenge your messiah you pull this Wilt Chamberlin-esqe reach to try and paint him racist.

    What a petty, tiny, little lying oxygen thief you are.

    Ed Schultz and the word genius in the same sentence? Tommy If you had any credibility to lose, this would do it.

  • Thelonious Funk

    Remember when the Confederacy lost? That was sweet.

  • Grammie

    Sorry, Tommy, but you should read the quotes you are using for understanding rather than a quick read to confirm what you’ve already decided.

    Trump said:

    “We make them sound like they’re out of Gone With the Wind, they’re wonderful, the beautiful rebels, it’s so romantic, they’re great.”

    GWTW not only portrayed Confederate soldiers exactly in that light but also the culture that was now lamentably “Gone with the Wind” according to Margaret Mitchell.

    Trump did nothing more or less than use an excellent analogy to illustrate his point yet you have him praising Confederates as proof that mentioning BB in the same breath with BHO is of course a racist dog whistle. Didn’t Jon Bershad do a piece re Cooper and Hannity about this very same tactic yesterday?

    I do wish that you, or anyone, would publish a list of all those otherwise innocent words that are proof positive of racism only when used in the same sentence with a black person.

  • Rusty Shackelford

    Dammit Donald,you cannot…and I mean cannot mention Obie and basketball in the same sentence and for christ sake dont even think about using any type of reference to fried chicken or watermelon.
    And even though the media began calling the Lybian freedom fighters “rebels” and yes although Gone With the Wind did indeed glorify our own rebels painting them as wonderful,beautiful,romantic and great you sir are white and therefore are’nt allowed to even think such things….shame on you Donald.White Guilt Liberals will not tolerate your actions sir.

  • JimP

    Tommy, you are totally wrong. Trump is saying that people make the Libyan rebels sound the same way Margaret Mitchell made the Confederates sound in ‘Gone With the Wind”, which was “beautiful” etc. Are you a liberal and brainwashed by political correctness, and therefore, see/hear racism at the mere mention of certain words, or just incapable of understanding the use of language?

    “Seconds later, speaking about his suspicions that the Libyan rebels are controlled by Iran and al Qaeda, Trump said, “We make them sound like they’re out of Gone With the Wind, they’re wonderful, the beautiful rebels, it’s so romantic, they’re great.”’

    This is not fair.

    Trump seems to be suggesting that libyan rebels are unrealistically idealized as being “wonderful,” “beautiful,” “romantic,” and “great.” as were the movie version of Confederate rebels in Gone With The Wind.

    I know the racist charge is de rigueur for ardent Obama critics, but you have plenty of legitimate things to criticize Trump over without making this sort of leap.

    It reminds me of that SNL sketch where the black guy eating breakfast in the chicken and waffles restaurant, jumps all over the white guy for making racist assumptions by looking for him in a chicken and waffles restaurant….

    You are right, Donald, he should get off that court. I mean, who do ya think said this this morning?

    “We’ve got some enormous challenges out there. There are a lot of folks out there who are still looking for work. Everybody is still suffering under high gas prices. We’re going to have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get a hold of our deficit and our debt — how do we do that in a balanced way.”

    Meidiate is an extension of the Democrat party and is used as a propaganda tool to advance their goals. Democrats have presided over record high unemployment, deficits and have now gotten us in to another war. Attacking all of their opponents (Republicans) as racist is all they have at this point.

    Enough is enough. I work in real estate in New York and the general consensus is that Trump is either the best friend Obama has ever had or that he’s flipped his wig. It’s probably the latter. A lot of people here are wishing we could all go to sleep and wake up after Obama’s been re-elected because the rightwingers are going to spend billions and drive us all crazy in their racist and political hatred of Obama. I realize that New York City is not typical of the nation (alas!), but the support in Manhattan is at least 90% for Obama – he did get over 80% of the vote in 2008. But what do we know, we’re just a bunch of uppidy elitists.

    NY Gov. David Patterson on Community Organizer:

    New York’s blind governor David Paterson is affable and likable, but I no longer have any respect for the man. First there was his wholly improper attempt to force New York State to adjust its laws to homosexual marriage. And now there is his gratuitous charge that Republicans have been using a racially tinged argument against Obama. WCBSTV reports:

    Paterson sees the repeated use of the words “community organizer” as Republican code for “black.”

    “I think where there are overtones is when there are uses of language that are designed to inhibit other people’s progress with a subtle reference to their race,” he said.

    Middle-name calling is way over the line

    How bad — how ugly, how far over the line of decency — is it to invoke Barack Obama’s middle name in attacking him?

    It’s so ugly and so far over the line that not even Alan Keyes in his most overwrought, spittle-flecked moments did it during his 2004 Senate run against Obama in Illinois.”

    It’s so ugly and so far over the line that Mr. Bare Knuckles himself, Karl Rove, reportedly warned fellow Republicans against it as they contemplated the prospect of Obama being the Democratic presidential candidate this fall.”

    Trump forced Obimbo to produce a Birth Certificate, that silly little document that says your actually a legal citizen with the Constitutionally required qualifications to hold the office of president. Now of course, Obimbo and the Liberal sheeple are going to try and spin this huge embarrassment for Obimbo into a racist issue. Trump has, by this one example, proved that this silly little inept-man sitting in the White House must abide by Constitutional law, and cannot skirt it when it doesn’t serve his purpose.

    I have to wonder, what would it take for you (and apparently NY) to vote against Obama? He’s the CEO of the US for the last two years, and you want to re-hire him to run it another four years. Based on performance? Really? All the money spent on the Stimulus. What has this massive investment created? His calculations at the time, we know now, were wrong. Unemployment went way up, real unemployment is much higher (includes those who’ve given up and stopped looking). Also, where are the nice train systems, the jobs, the more efficient government? No where.

    I’m independent, and my vote will be for whoever runs against him. And that means pretty much anyone. I’d do the same if he ran a company I owned and ran it into the ground. If we had all this debt and nothing to show for it, He’s out. Doesn’t matter about race. It’s about performance. He gets an F.

    Signed financial reform law prohibiting banks from engaging in proprietary trading (trading the bank’s own money to turn a profit, often in conflict with their customers’ interests)

    Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years

    There’s more but you get the picture. President Obama may not be perfect but he actually HAS done good for American PEOPLE. Something you cannot say for the last few republican Presidents!

    The indignity that bigoted birthers have put this president through, and by reference all African Americans, have made me think thoughts that I have not wanted to think for years. It has required a lot of prayers to hold at bay my desire for Second Amendment remedies. Trump and the other birthers are despicable human beings who do not deserve to live in America. They need to find a place where they may indulge in their ignorance

    well you like gun rights, bigot, so you are ok

  • conniechastain

    My gosh, where did Tommy Christopher get his journalism degree? PlaySkool? Trump is talking about the Libyan rebels that the U.S. federal government’s military is supporting. You know, like, in Libya? Is Christopher’s sole concept of “rebels” the soldiers of the Confederacy?

    I’m a big Confederate heritage supporter, and I was getting ready to give Trump a big thumbs up — but then I watched the video. Did Christopher NOT watch it? Or did he watch it but just didn’t get it? Or is he lying?

    Sorry, nothing can make Ed Schultz look like a genius. He’s either diabolical or an idiot. Maybe a little of both.

  • Pokerdude777

    Tommy I’m so sick of your twisted wording and misrepresentation of what was actually said. God damnit Trump was explicity being sarcastic about what everyone else thinks about the rebels and the amercian people have no idea of the truth of who they are. He is against losing our soldiers lives in efforts to help the rebels whom we truely do not know their background or future agenda. He referenced that by saying we could end up supporting the rebels and end up with something worse than gadhafi…….. jesus frerakin christ tommy.

    well, if you are ignorant, you probably can’t comprehend what tc said and on top of your ignorance you seem to be hard of hearing. at about the 40 second mark, trump clearly says the rebels (paraphrasing) are being cajoled to build them up to characters in ‘gone with the wind’…you know, that movie about the civil war, concentrating on the southern rebels who, let’s not mix words, were fighting in favor of slavery.
    you know, it’s people like you and trump who say the most hateful, idiotic things and they don’t realize they are offending people.
    now that, with the insinuation he got into columbia because he is black, and when asked about the support obama gets from african americans, trumps claims…”i have a good relationship with the blacks”

    i tend to agree with the anger he and a lot of others feel. as far as birthers, i don’t think they are all racists, just a majority but what really pisses me off is that i am an american, i served in the navy and i will die for my country.
    what these racists (not all) are saying is that are president,, the man who represents america, is not one of us.

    it’s so hard to understand why you guys don’t get it. your supposed by the ‘real’ americans…blah, blah,blah, but then you clowns do stupid shit like denying health care to 9/11 responders and somehow you are able to drag down the dems with you. (i’m sure that wasn’t too difficult though)

    i guess i should take that back because after trump said obama had lousy grades he was still able to get into harvard and i inferred he was calling him dumb and only getting into school because of his skin color.
    the last thing i want to do is try to get into trumps brain.

    Super . Don’t lump me in with the birthers . I’m not ” you guys ” . Go find a corner to cry in . That is all .

    I think it is past time Obama showed his BC, I mean, he has let good military offiers go to prison because of his childish refusal to show it, so it is past time. Now all we have to work on is getting rid of him for being a horrible President. I served under President Nixon thru daddy Bush, loved and respected them all, even Jimah, but Obama is one President I am glad I do not serve under and would never serve under. I could care less what color he is, the man is not a Leader, not in any form. What has he done that has helped America or Americans in the last two years? NOTHING! Everything he has done goes against our Constitution and our Common Sense, which Obama apparently has none of. He also doesn’t know our Constitution and I think it is a LIE that he was a Constitutional Professor or whatever fake name they gave the ba$tard. Get down to the nitty gritty and Obama is a Bad President and needs removed in 2012!

    ALLEN WEST 2012! A Proven Leader, Patriot, and has served America Honorably, in war and in Congress! Something Obama has never done, served our country, been a leader, or had any Honor.

  • Dem4Ever

    Obama lost his presidency when he caved. It’s offiicial, Obama has surpassed Carter as the worst president in history. We need to throw him under the bus and move forward.

    Filthy racist

  • http://www.zazzle.com/talkingpoints NORBIT Jr.

    Note who’s always first to introduce “RACISM” into the conversation – the Liberal/Progressive Democrats – and THEIR MEDIA.

    It’s this barrage of continuous “racist” allegations on the part of Democrats – and THEIR MEDIA – that is true, white-hating RACISM!
    And Democrats are’nt all that tolerant of Christians either!

    Say, what White-Hating, America-Hating “Church” will the Lying POS in the WH be going to this week?

    Take our country back from the WHITE-HATERS of the Democratic Party!

  • joe7

    President Obama’s love of basketball was over publicized during the 08 election and has been reinforced since. Now if you mention this over publicized hobby of the President you are raciest? So at first it was to make him look cool and hip and relatable, now its just discrimination…got it.

  • CSAcitizen

    Mr Christopher is who needs some TRUTH education, because Trump is right on the South nation ! Mr. Christopher’s Yankee reconstruction is showing ! But then everyone has been indoctrinated with the Federalist fabrications they passed off as ‘history’ in their media and in their illegal Federal Govt schools, so not many know the real truth about the illegal Lincoln invasion on the peaceful south nation, to try and force them to join his NEW Federal union he created and REPLACED our Founders real govt with . Nor do they realize that still today, the south Confederate States of America (CSA) is STILL it’s own LEGAL CONSTITUTIONAL NATION that has been ILLEGALLY Federally occupied for the past 150 years ! The US and the CSA are NOT the same nation ! They never have been from the very beginning !
    TRUE history would shock most people today ! They could never even imagine how they have been lied to and indoctrinated with fabrications, beginning with brutal dictator Lincoln !

    Socialist Karl Marx stated – ” A people separated from their [true] heritage are easily persuaded”. [Read = 'easily manipulated']

    “The philosophies of the classroom in this generation will be the philosophy of politics, government and life in the next” – - – Abraham Lincoln.

    “Those who control education will over a period of several generations control a nation.” ….Lincoln.

  • CSAcitizen

    I see everyone is getting unglued over race AGAIN – News Flash – Obama is not a Negro, he is an Arab !
    He is the one who began all this racism – he never fails to incite racism into his words since day one, as he PRETENDS to be Negro ! He is USING OUR Negros for his own personal gain and plans. And I resent him USING OUR Negroes for his own selfish agendas, as he tries so hard to get a race war going – just as Lincoln also did. Lincoln failed, and Obama will too, because our Negroes (at least ours in the South) are too smart to fall for it. OUR Negroes in the South stood up to Lincoln and fought against him, and they will stand up to this faker too !
    Color does not matter – it is who the person IS that matters.
    AT this point, I”m not sure Obama/Soetoro is even a ‘person’.

    Oh, and as for the latest fake BC he has put out, it PROVES he is NOT eligible !
    Does not matter where he was born – he is still not a US citizen.
    Also there are NO official stamps, seals, or signatures on it .
    BOTH parents have to be US citizens, to pass it onto their baby to be a “natural born” citizen.. Also there is a lie on it – his mother was 17 NOT 18 when he was born – not old enough to pass on anything legally.
    Also, it shows she was NOT a Hawaiian ‘resident’ – as there is no written address for her – it’s left blank.
    His father was a British subject born in Kenya, as Obama himself has bragged in the past being born there.
    In 2004 Obama/Soetoro proudly bragged about being born in Kenya in several newspaper reports as he ran for Senator. His words from his lips ! Case closed.

    Of course many have noticed several things wrong for this to be a real BC – first of all it’s not a BC – it is a certificate of live birth – not the same thing. This is just a repeat of the last one he tried to pass off on us. And this is not picking on ‘him’ – IT’S THE LAW FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO RUN FOR PREZ !
    Everyone by LAW has to show his birth certificate in order to get on the ballot !
    He’s the only one who has broken this LAW !
    He is the only one who has such bad things to hide apparently !
    If you are not worthy enough to show a real BC, they you are not worthy to be on our ballots ! Period !

    By the way, I have a copy of his REAL BC, and the Registration of his BC and it has ll the official seals, stamps and signatures, and his baby foot print ! It’s from Kenya !

  • RIChris

    Liberals obviously can’t get past the color of the President’s skin, otherwise they would actually hear words spoken about the man that he is and not interpret them to be words about the color that he is. It is Obama’s own party that insults him the most, by insinuating that Obama represents only color, no substance, and that he needs them to be ever vigilant in deflecting perceived racism. Not exactly a show of confidence.

  • snatchax

    Katz’s Law states: As a discussion about Obama grows longer, the probability of charges of racism approaches one.
