There needs to be more lawsuits against the federal government.

Oh no. Liberal Word Police alert. Congressman from Iowa calls a city boy “very urban”, sets Mediaite staff on fire! The “gotcha guys” are climbing the walls hoping to end the Congressman’s career and drive his family to despair and suicide.

This is what people get upset at? Mean while, US Marines and soldiers are getting killed in an almost 10 year old war in Afghanistan.

Shoulda called him a city slicker. Rep King, don’t you know you’re supposed to check with your progressive betters before you speak so they can advise you against the use of code words?

Urban; wink wink, nudge nudge.

Well, in this guy’s defense, Obama did state in 2001 that he wasn’t at all interested in “the suburbs,” that the suburbs “bored him”. And I think we know what “suburbs” is code for. Wink. Wink. Of course, the media ignored this story and filed it away in the “hurts obama” folder. The suburbs being where all those typically bigotted white people live. As opposed to that exciting racist and anti-American urban church he attended for 20 years.

So many GOP racists, so little time.

Poor Hillary, she can’t help herself.

The controversy exists only in the eyes of mediaite and the super lefties like Hillary.

Good thing he didn’t call him something like a “typical white person”. Not THAT would really be racist.

Wouldn’t it?

Progressive-Liberal MO epitomized by Mediaite…farcical racial browbeating for expedited ideological acquiescence

Please explain to me how saying “the suburbs bored him” and someone saying that a person is “very very urban” mean anywhere near the same thing. There’s urban, suburb, and rural. People who are “bored” with the suburbs would be taken as being bored outside the city (not enough going on). Saying someone is urban would mean to me that a person lives in the city. But this fool, who has continued to say blatantly asinine and racist things, made his statement very clear about very very urban.
Also, please tell me how all suburbs are populated by “bigoted white people”?

I didn’t realize Urban was a code word. I am still trying to wrap my arms around uppity. Can someone please provide a list of words that white people can’t say anymore? Seriously, I need a list. Uppity used to be bad but now college kids are using it. They have no idea its a racist word. Can Tommy provide that list? He should know the bad words since he just taught me that Urban is a no no

I can help with that…it is any word a lefty see’s that tells them it is OK to call someone a “RACIST”

There is a dictionary in the making…it has lots of BLANK pages so that the lefties can add to it on a whim.

The Pigford case shows that racism is still alive and well in this country.
As does ex-justice Stevens on the death penalty…“That the murder of black victims is treated as less culpable than the murder of white victims provides a haunting reminder of once-prevalent Southern lynchings.”
As does the despicable King and his racist remarks.

Post racial America my ass.

Hey,come on…he could have called him Toby,but he did’nt,he said he was urban.

This column is nothing more than liberal bedwetting and handwringing. Google it, only mediate and TPM are jumping all over the “controversy”.

There is no controversy, King is right. Got to appreciate a guy that calls a spade a spade, eh?

and the racist claims flood in in 5,4,3,2,1,……

It pretty much WAS post racial ’til you morons got a foothold in 2006.

Remember, ordering “black” coffee is racist. I forget what page of the lefty handbook that’s on, I’ll have to look it up.

“FOX NEWS: Not racist but number one with racists”

I think he is using “very very urban” to mean educated, elite.

You morons have no one else to thank but yourselves, You simply wore it out and now people just laugh at your claims of racism.

Nice job.

If you watch the video, King is pointing out what a blatant bribe the legislation was, being made by a big city dwelling (urban) politician to benefit farmers 4 states away from his.

timzank said:

Bill O’Reilly wasn’t laughing. lol

GLENN BECK SAYS THE PERFECT STORM IS HERE!!!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND I THOUGHT YOU TEABLOGGERS TOOK YOUR COUNTRY BACK !!!!TIME TO GET IN THE ROOT-CELLAR!!!!!

All King really meant to Say was, that Barry don’t have to speak wit’ a ‘Viennese?’ dialect unless he Wants to. Ya’ Know What I’m What I’m Sayin’, Senator Reid?

Racist. Embarrassing. Par the course for the new GOP/Tea-bag party.

timzank said:
“King is pointing out what a blatant bribe the legislation was, being made by a big city dwelling (urban) politician to benefit farmers 4 states away from his.”

What he is saying is the same thing he was saying last June, that a Black president is playing favorite with Black Americans….“has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race, on the side that favors the black person.”

Only now he is coding his message a little more so he doesn’t catch as much flack as he did before.
Nothing to do with “Country Boy” and “City Boy”.

i thought he meant a city slicker decided to get involved in a case involving farmers….

i consider myself urban, does that mean something else besides being from/living in the city?

sarainitaly said:

Has anyone, in the history of Man, ever called someone VERY VERY urban?
Have you?
Of course not.

Urban = City dweller.

Very Urban = Inner City Black Dweller

Very Very Urban = Nigger President

You calling the President a “boy”????

Damn!

Would you call a south side of chicago state senator “urban”?

Rep. King is SPOT-ON!

How does it feel to have finally over used your racist narrative enough to completely jump the shark and realize the rest of the rational people are actually laughing at your silliness?

Fact: Next time I post Ozero faults and or get in a debate at work I’ll use the Mediaite racist term that can’t get me reprimanded. Urban please… nice ring to it right.

A lot of people in this thread sound very “Nineteenth Century Southern”. wink wink

timzank’s remarks are especially “Plantation” sounding. lol wink wink

Like how you love to say “n-please”? I guess that’s not racist either? Let me guess, you mean something else, right?

Once again, a liberal proves to be the racist. Hillary Busis, are you an idiot? Rep. Steve King was CLEARLY referring to the difference between big city, community organizer Obama and farmers in the country. He wasn’t referring to skin color. You did that all on your own. Why is it when you hear “urban” you think “black”?

That’s bullshit and you know it!

Obama, quite clearly and with no doubt, is President to some of the people…not all the people. If you’re union, urban, or illegal…and can help keep peeps of ‘his kind’ in office…then he’s your guy. That ‘laser-like focus’ on ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’ right after the Scott Brown election was to placate the ‘other’ Americans that Obama really doesn’t care much about. That ‘focus’ lasted a day. Libs can whine and moan all they want about how ‘inclusive’ Obama is, but his language that speaks of ‘hitting back twice as hard,’ of ‘bitter clingers,’ and of people who ought to ‘sit in the back’ don’t have ‘inclusive’ as part of their intent.

“It’s also pretty strange that King would choose to use this particular euphemism while describing actions Obama took to help rural farmers.”

We all know what Hillary meant by “rural farmer.” I’m sure she uses different saying at her Klan rallies, but we see through your racism here. Bigot.

Steve King would know about agriculture. He is a corn packer.

Not when they REALLY show racism, which King didn’t. You are hearing what you want to hear. When Clinton said “a few years ago this guy would be serving us coffee” did you interpret that as racist? When Harry Reid said Obama only uses a black dialect when he wants to id you interpret that as racist?

You guys can’t have it both ways, but you sure as hell think you can.

Or, said another way, “November 3.”

Another Republitard blows his racist dog whistle -why am I not surprised?

Urban = Codeword for Nigger.

We get it Steve King. Bigotry and hatred spews from your skin pores. This guy is like a modern day Andrew Johnson.

Jelperman said:

Yep, and look at all the Republicans rank-and-file here responding.

There’s only one thing they hate more than being called racists, and that’s black people.

It amazes me!

Liberals and Liberal Policies have literally destroyed the Black Family in America over the last 50 years.

They have skyrocketing unwed mothers.

They can no longer educate their children – Dropout rates are way too high.

They have herded them into little islands in city slums …then convinced them that they are on their side.

They pander to the black community with countless programs that have never worked, will never work and the only success is that these programs have been money pit for a few.

YOU MY LIBERAL FRIENDS ARE THE RACISTS.

Then they get upset because someone said Very Urban.

It is stuff like this that created the Tea Party…your time is over. Now move along and let the grownups get you out of the pitiful mess you got yourselves into.

Of course Obama is “very urban,” he grew up in cities, he’s not a fisherman, a hunter, doesn’t ride ATV’s, his favorite sport is basketball, yet calling him “urban” is supposed to be racist?”

what? this is a surprise? he goes to a crazy racist’s church for 20 years and he’s NOT a racist?? please.

Dave Noland said:

then why don’t you go get a life instead of spending your life reacting all over the place, loser?

“Today, he turned his focus back to Obama, calling the President “very, very urban”—and we all know what he means by “urban.”

Seriously, is this the style taught at J schools? This is the kind of crap I read in the student newspaper in college.

Ms. Busis, I know what I mean by “urban”. What do you mean by “urban”? And what word are you trying to put into someone’s mouth with that line of your article?

The original settlement in Pigford vs Glickman ruled that 16,000 black farmers had been discriminated against by the USDA.

The president of the National Black Farmers Association testified before Congress that there were actually 18,000 black farmers who should be compensated.

Thanks to Senator Barack Obama, the number of alleged black, alleged farmers, who had allegedly been denied equal treatment by the USDA regarding loan guarantees, etc., is now up to 94,000. So additional billions could be paid out to people for no other reason than the color of their skin.

More Liberty said…This is what people get upset at? Mean while, US Marines and soldiers are getting killed in an almost 10 year old war in Afghanistan.

I understand where you are coming from, but look deeper.

The point is that US Marines and soldiers are getting killed in Afghanistan because many of our chosen (?) leaders have this mentality. At times, its quite racist! Don’t you get it yet? You don’t see any racist elements in our occupation of Afghanistan and our belief that we can do what the Russians failed at?

King is showing you the chip on his shoulder. He insults you and everyone else by equating fairness cases from 84-97 as “slavery reparations”. Its called inserting a “fire” word. He is manipulating you.

Afghanistan’s “fire” word is al quaida, even though they haven’t been there in significant numbers in years, thus warranting the question…why are we there REALLY? But as long as the “fire” word can be summoned, conjuring images of the dark, bearded one with bombs, we just stop thinking and obey. We debate “tax-cuts” as ga-zillions of dollars get stolen right underneath our noses while military families are barely getting by, PTSD and gulf war syndrome are being ignored, soldier suicides are at an all time high, and the list goes on.

Meanwhile, this jerk shows his true colours, thinking we are all stupid. You don’t get it yet? And the more we fight with each other over the mundane, they laugh at us. It’s a master/slave mentality that enables our troops getting abused. THAT’s why people get upset…

Sounds to me like the black senator from the inner city is the racist here…..again. Seems to be a pattern developing with B.

Today, he turned his focus back to Obama, calling the President “very, very urban”—and we all know what he means by “urban.”

No I don’t. Please explain.
