Lousy picture. But then, it’s a lousy magazine.

Sorry, no one pulls “liverish lips” out of no where like that. He picked it up somewhere and will now act dumb as if he never heard it before.

You know there are racists and there are racist comments.

After reading this post, the Newsweek headline: “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb” is spot on. 

Tommy has never known Reynolds to be a racist, but he opens the door anyway.

Tommy is a vile coward.

It drives you guys nuts when you get all dressed and have no where to go huh TC? :) I guess everyone just missed the sizzle on that steak and went straight for the liver eh?  *rim shot

Because most republicans don’t know how to read….. that’s why they hate Obama, because he knows how to read and use a teleprompter.

Man, if Tommy Christopher doesn’t get a Pulitzer for this ground breaking story there’s simply no justice in the world.

Reynolds is a libertarian not a conservative but I don’t want to have that minor error ruin Tommy’s Pulitzer. Be a shame if it did.

The racial slur is not “liver lips” silly , it is” N word lips”  I think maybe Mr. Reynolds was referring to the color of the prez’s purple lips. 

Tommy, you could make a fortune by publishing a book with “racist” terms and their definitions. I have never heard this description attributed to any one race (do notice that the description was applied to Jimmy Carter’s lips, too, and I didn’t know Carter was African-American). This ranks right up there with “niggardly” and “tarred and feathered”- neither of which is a “racist” term. 

The country really needs a “racist dictionary” so that we know what standard English usage has recently been deemed “racist.” Please, Tommy, publish it for us. Of course, one problem seems to be that it’s a constantly MOVING target!

Exactly. The GOP also hates the blacks right Captain Stereotype? Do you also hate Asian drivers?

I’m surprised TC even posted anything about Newsweek; that controversial mag is nothing….not worth a dime or a penny.  Trying to make this a racist remark where none was intended is pretty low TC, indeed it is very low.  What is happening to mediaite?  This board used to cover some pretty good topics, but now we go from the ex-boyfriend of a wife of a candidate to newsweek.

Strange happenings round this baord; I notice it appears less and less folks are commenting.  Need to pick up th einterest level, maybe leave Newsweek and the ex-boyfriend behind, eh?

Eat my road grit, liver lips

I’ve lived in the south all my life, including during desegregation when I was a child. I thought I’d (unfortunately) heard just about every racial slur imaginable over the years. If “liver lips” is a racial slur, it’s a new one to me.

Not all republicans hate blacks, but all haters of black people are republican.

Tommy loves MSNBC and Newsweek is the print version of MSNBC. Both are trying to keep their NYC audience by being condescending to the rest of the country. They even like the condescending pose of Obama.

Anyone have any links to historical uses of the term “liver lips” that has a racial component to it? According to TC it’s is the Dominos deep-dish of racial slurs.

I bet any reference to the increasingly whitening of the Presidents hair would have Tommy in on the verge of a hissy fit because it would be a deep-dish insult to him, akin to calling him an oreo or something.

Like that woman who used to appear on SNL, he’s 50.  That’s 50 years old and he has what some would call a “stressful” job that’s aged him considerably in just 3 years.  It is a lousy picture though, both in composition and design.

This is a small example of why many Americans don’t wish to have a discussion about race. If an innocuous observation like this from someone having no questionable past on race like Reynolds can be characterized as racist or having racist undertones then why bother having a conversation? Every word, every phrase, every utterance will be labeled as bigoted and used for political advantage.

And Tommy Christopher is doing that here. Sorry Tommy you are.

No one believes that if this was a liberal blogger commenting on the President or Clarence Thomas or any other black person that Tommy Christopher would have noted it.

This is his M.O. He surfs conservative blogs or venues and tries to find something to catch them on. Then he jumps all over them and says “Conservatives say X” when it’s really just one conservative. Sometimes he has a point; sometimes he doesn’t.

On this one Tommy you’re just absurd.

There is real racism in America but trivializing it by pointing to things like this doesn’t help fight it.

He was comparing Obama’s lips to Jimmy Carter’s lips. How in the world does the Left manage to throw the race card into EVERYTHING???? That has to be just a miserable feeling. I mean, does it not make you depressed? How much fun can it be to search for racism wherever it isn’t?
.

The irony simply never ends … the poisonous seeds that were planted decades ago bear its fruit in endless supply. It’s rather sad.

Ah, but Tommy is also absolving Professor Reynolds of his unwitting sin, which nobody but Tommy noticed. Isn’t he a big-hearted guy?

Wait, “big-hearted” isn’t a racial slur, is it?

No, Reynolds opened that door himself – how can you even blame somebody else for the very words Reynolds used?

And from the article:
“I’ve never known Glenn Reynolds to exhibit any racist tendencies, so I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t know “liver-lips” is a deep-dish racial slur [...]“

Yeah, that one I’ve heard. I can’t recall ever having heard a black person being referred to as liver lipped.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=liver+lips

Then why did the Republicans free the slaves while the Democrats started the KKK?

See “Dixiecrat” Bozo. Damn you’re stupid!!!

Obama really is starting to look very run down and haggard and election season hasn’t even started yet.

I think Bush was totally burnt out after winning reelection in 2004, and it looks like Obama is burnt out before his term is even over.

And Obama can thank his White half for the roll of fat on the back of his neck. All of us Whiteys have it.

 Looks like one of those banners in a third-world country with the caption “President for Life.”

And let’s not forget that Lee Harvey Oswald voted in the Democratic primary.

Just think, the producers at CNN and M-BS-NBC are spinning the wheel at this very moment, selecting the tool they will use to play the race card against the conservatives over this liver lip scandal!

Will it be a Toure; a Goldy; a Dyson or a Harris-Perry?

I’ve never heard of “liverish lips” before. And I didn’t know that Jimmeh Cawtah was Black.

Don’t worry. As soon as Obama is out of office, all these professional liberal race baiters will climb back under their rocks.

Just go about doing your best to help defeat Obama so we can put this bullsh*t to rest.

Stalking, harassing sock puppets in 3,2,1…

Ha! You’re speaking about a Republican party that doesn’t exist any longer.

 Gee, why was Donald Trump the GOP favorite while he was demanding this “Kenyan’s” Birth Certificate? You toads throw out bigotry and then cry foul when called out.

I like the way he looks on the cover; it’s called A SEASONED LEADER.  Call his lips what you wish my racist haters….the man is HANDSOME!  Racism blinds a person from reality so they only need to make up some s??? 

only if they are asian republican.

Good one Pablo, I had to link to find out. You now own gobrooklyn

Go to Pablo’s comment, link onto urban dictionary, watch out where you throw the bigotry card.

Because the term isn’t racial. It’s about big ass lips.

It’s a crappy picture of him and Glenn Reynolds, who’s known for a photography penchant, happened to notice it. He’s expressing his surprised that Newsbeast didn’t.

The DNC weekly glossy, Newsweek!

In case no one has figured it out. President Obama  DID NOT POSE FOR THIS COVER!!! It wasn’t an interview with him, it was an article about him. So of course Newsweek chose whatever pic they wanted. I happen to like it especially the headline. 

I worked as a reporter and editor for three decades and had never heard the phrase “liverish lips” used before — much less as a derogatory term. I assume Reynolds used it because Obama’s lips are the color of liver in the photograph. Looks to me as though Christopher is attempting to manufacture some outrage here.

I would think that a significant if not high percentage of black people– the kind owned by the Democrat Party– that hate Rep. Allen West because of his conservative views.  There.  I’ve poked a hole in your little blimp. Whzzzzzz.  Down it goes.

So VERY kind and gracious of you to give the benefit of the doubt.  Soon, liberals will be handing out an indulgence to absolve us of our sins if only we confess to them, our masters of political correctness.

I’ve heard that term at least 100 times in my life, and not a single time was there any anti-black racism involved.  If you hear ‘black people lips’ when you hear that term, just like Tommy C does, then you have the problem. Glenn Reynolds is no different than most of the rest of us who don’t have this racist hang up.

Amusingly, the people who hear the dog whistle don’t realize they are the dogs.

BTW, Tommy C vouched for the existence of two witnesses who didn’t even exist.  His put his credibility on the line, and guess what: that means he no longer has any.  And that’s permanent.

Tommy Christopher makes me hate white people with liverish lips.

“how can you even blame somebody else for the very words Reynolds used?”

The “very” words aren’t racist.  They are a normal way to describe how Obama’s lips look like Carter’s.  When Glenn claimed Obama’s lips looked particularly like Carters, he clearly was not saying they look particularly like a black person’s, nor was there anything racist there.  Where do you get the racism there?

Just because Tommy Christopher said the term is deeply racist?  Why in the world would anyone believe Tommy Christopher about anything?  The last time (and the first time) I believed Tommy Christopher, he vouched for the existence of two children who had communicated with Anthony Weiner, and then turned out to not exist.

The man wants attention, not reliable news product.

Oh, sock “puppets”, huh?  Deep dish anti semitism?  “3,2,1″?  Deep dish homophobia?  Commas?  What are you, Adolph Hitler?

Hmmm. Lived the  first 38 years of my life in the same city in which Glenn Reynolds lives. Never heard liver lips used in a racist manner. Of course, when your grasping at straws, you’ll grasp at even the thinnest.

Wow. You’re sooooo smart.

Unfortunately, no, that appears to simply be a lie.  I’ve heard the term…  frankly 75% of the time with reference to an old woman (usually they happened to be white).  I’ve even heard the term used to describe Jimmy Carter.

It’s as racist as Tommy Christopher is a trustworthy and reliable newsman.

I guess one way to weigh the charges made against blogger Reynolds would be to show that “… “liver-lips” is a deep-dish racial slur.” When TC fixes his omission of links to prove such a serious charge we can then move on to the next step, which is to show that President Carter is African-American. Until then, I would hesitate jumping on another one of Sir Christopher’s shallow shoreline capsizers.

At what point do distinguish between a magazine and a pamphlet?

If “liverish lips” was a racial slur, it has only been used in niggardly proportions.

Oh, but then again…

Liver Lips is also a Disney character:
http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Liver_Lips 

Rather than focus on Andrew Sullivan‘s titular question “Why are Obama’s critics so dumb,”

Answer: Tommy, here’s the thing.  While Lefties put out questions and expect people to answer them while ignoring the question itself…only a completely banal village idiot would ask such a question in the first place.  Not only would most average-grade morons not ask it out of fear of appearing dumb but, frankly, they’d not ask it because they know attacking people in an ad hominem fashion never works.

So, as they say, you and your compatriots need to man up and ask why, if he’s so brilliant, is our Teleprompter and Chief the greatest gaffe machine America has ever produced on top of being the worst leader the world has seen since Ethelred the Unready. 

Lets be frank here, you guys refuse (still!) to vet him and refuse to hold him accountable.  Frankly that’s awfully racist to be so afraid to look into the facts of a man simply because of the color of his skin.

Now now Pablo…don’t throw facts at Democrats.  They only handle feelings.

Their feelings led to secession.
Their feelings led to the KKK.
Their feelings led to Jim Crow.
Their feelings led to a segregated military.
Their feelings led to race riots.
Their feelings led to filibustering the Civil Rights act.
Their feelings led to Affirmative Action – which is now widely understood as hurting minorities and their advancement.

So they’ll hoot, they’ll scream.  But they’ll be wrong. 

Swfloridagal Gal….you hit post to early.  Here, I’ve included your corrected post:

“Not all republicans hate blacks, but all haters of black people are republican-hating Democrats.”

Glad I could be of help by making your comment factually correct.

urbandictionary.com has five different definitions for, “Liver lips.”

Not one of those definitions has any reference of any kind to any race.

The Democrat Media Complex is desperate to defend their boy.

OOPS, I didn’t mean that the way Christopher will probably claim I did.

Really, Tommy, you couldn’t spend 20 seconds to look up a word you didn’t know on Google? So you just make a foolish assumption about what was meant, then remove all doubt regarding your status as a fool by publishing your idiocy? Really?

liv·er·ish/ˈliv(ə)riSH/ – Adjective: -  1. Slightly ill, as though having a disordered liver.

Liver Lips – Plumped protruding or otherwise disproportionately shaped lips possessing the characteristic of a liver in both color and texture. Lips that tend to flop like a fresh slice of liver. Characteristic of the lips of the human characters in the show “Ren and Stimpy”

We have a word for these two definitions in this specific context – antonym – please go look it up. We have another word for people who imagine “codes” where there are none – delusional – Go look this up as well.

Really?  I wasn’t aware that the folks who were raging against Colin Powell and Condie Rice in vile racist terms and cartoons were Republicans.  Thanks, you learn something every day.

Another racist hater using the vile anti-white slur dumb.

When will the “progressive” hate end?

Here’s a good rule-of-thumb: If you are a conservative and you’ve said something that irritates, angers, or annoys a lib OR that they can not rebut – then you’ve said something racist.

If the aforementioned statement somehow involves Obama – THEN you’ve said something RAAAAACIST!!!11!!!

Yeah, the pose is classic.  Classic Mussolini.  Is that racist?

You can read?  Dang. Is that racist?

A grown man named Tommy?

“liver-lips” is a deep-dish racial slur.”

Really?  If it’s so deep dish, then why didn’t you hyperlink to a single use of it?  You’re not even from this country, are you?  I’ve spent 60 years here and had never before heard the term.  Deep dish my ass.

Oh.  I looked at the cover and thought it was an Onion article.

The real question: why has Andrew Sullivan stopped making sense.  He used to make sense.  Has the HIV invaded his brain?  ARD?

Liver lips: lips the color of liver.  The race card players keep getting dumber!  Human beings aren’t progressive, neurological disorders are.

Liver lips is not a racial slur. You can’t just say any insult towards a black person that describes a body part is now in the racist hall-of-fame. In fact, by ignoring such an idea, your Instapundit is treating the President just like he might anyone else. Since he cites those liver lips as originating with Jimmy Carter, how would that be racist? Why don’t you do what Instapundit did and just treat insults as insults instead of putting on a racial code ring and parsing everything through such a lens?

Jimmy Carter, who started his career as a racist segregationist, was a Democrat, I believe.  But Jesus forgives him for being a racist.  Especially now that his Presidential reprise is black.  Obama = Jimmy Carter 2.0.

Woe woe woe, slow down with all that evidence Gal, geeze, I never thought of it like that, backed up with all your facts and figures.

Especially the part where you mentioned that JUST because the GOP generally stands against affirmative action and quota systems, that that replaces the blood, the good old fashioned blood only a black man’s lynched body can provide on a Democrat’s hands.

What was it that LBJ said about getting “their” vote?

No, it’s not about the size of the lips, it’s about the color.  Idiot.  

Those who try to discredit any criticism of this incompetent President using the race card are so transparent that nobody falls for that crap anymore.  That’s why only the dumbest progressives do it anymore.

And the original article is by a guy who obsessively posted crazy conspiracy theories about Trig Palin.  Andrew Sullivan: a different sort of Birther.

Given Sullivan’s crazy talk, he has a lot of gall calling anyone stupid.

You know, this entire article and the comments tearing it apart are the best answer to the cover question, “Why are Obama’s critics so dumb?”  The answer is, “Because it would be overkill to waste the smarter ones for this task.”

Oh, Tommy.  You’re such a good writer when you’re not being an idiot.

Dn’t be a dope.  Whatever you may think of the whole birth-certificate thing, being born outside the US is not code for “black person.”

Or, since the same question was raised about McCain and is being raised about whether Romney is “:natural born” is it that those guys are black people too?

I’ve worked in Compton, CA for a few DECADES…at a small business with mostly Blacks, Filipinos…and me.  I’ve heard every derogatory term over the course of these past decades…and not ONCE have I heard the term ‘liver-lips’.  This Mr. Christopher needs to come back to his ridiculous post and apologize for his tomfoolery. 

LOL

How does someone apparently unable to parse Reynolds’ simple writing properly expect much by way of credibility? 

But aside from that, what has racism come to mean, quite? First sentence in the Wikipedia: “Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination.” First definition at dictionary.com: “a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.”

It’s a bit of a logical stretch to infer racism here. A non sequitur, preposterous bit.

Milton Berle was known as “old liver lips”. 

I should say, that well known African American, Milton Berle…

So in what way is it racist to compare the looks of a half-black guy to a white one? Surely that is the essence of colour blindness, to see the similarity in their looks and not the different skin colour.

To quote another blog comment I read “Sorry, your race card has been declined”.

No – because most Republicans know how to do something other than read. Obama only knows how to read a teleprompter. The man has achieved nothing in his life before becoming President. Since then he as been a rubber stamp for Congress or for his financial backers.

I assume you like the headline because you are too dumb, or lack enough material, to actually form a reasoned argument to support Obama. You presumably feel that a really idiotic insult is the best available response to people who make reasoned criticisms of the man who has achieved nothing in any role he has ever held, including the most powerful role in the world in which he has been a rubber stamp for Congress or for his financial backers.

Lukee Im mareed to a Democrat.  I astd her to rede yorr coment to me and all I can say is..whats a teleprompter, and hou du u use it? 

It rele seems to wurk gud for Mr. Obama.

That depends on what the goal of rewriting the language actually is. Google “santorum” and “miserable failure,” and think about what the choice of targets really means.

Is “liver lips” racist? There were 4 examples given in this definition (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=liver%20lips): Ren, Mick Jagger, Yassir Arafat and Oprah. And Reynolds said “like Jimmy Carter, even down to the downturned liverish lips”– is Jimmy Carter african-american? If I’m your typical right-wing racist hater, I really need to catch up on my slurs. Do you leftists publish a list or something that we can get? It is apparently much more complete than anything I have seen– and I’ve read the Ron Paul newsletter!

Never in my life have I heard that liver lips was racist. Never, ever.

The racism and crass dishonesty displayed by Tommy Christopher and his supporters would be shocking if it weren’t so common.

This is what happens when people worship greed, selfishness, and evil: They vote Democrat and justify themselves with lies.

You know what, “all Republicans” don’t hate black people!  But, keep it up with the attitude and that statement will surely come true!

Please note: Ever note that only Democrats and liberals know the meaning of disgusting terms like “liver lips” and “tea bagger”!  Ugh!  The reason we don’t know those terms is because we don’t participate in racist aggression or gay bashing!  

I also look forward to a second Obama term (pay heed, Romnoids) and that most certainly IS for reasons of racial animosity. The black unemployment rate is bumping up on 16%. Hilarious! THAT is the change you voted for, right? Oh, I forgot, Obama inherited all that. He did though. He inherited it from FDR, from Truman, from Johnson, to a lesser extent from Reagan and indeed, prominently from the Compassionate Conservative, W. The only problem is it isn’t the alleged “conservative” policies that have brought us to where we are but rather the socialism in which, sadly, the Republicans often collude. So bring on FULL socialism according to the Obama plan; full Green policies, full redistributionist policies, full regulatory policies and full racial spoils policies. Socialists of all colors and brands need to learn what that brings but we have one fortunate confluence…. Minorities hardest hit! Suffer, suffer and suffer yet more, black America! Will you enjoy 50% black unemployment? 70% black youth unemployment? $6 gas? 50% income tax? 15% payroll tax? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! And who will our Affirmative Action hire claim to have “inherited” his troubles from then? King George? Barack Obama for President!!!

does it bother you at all that none of what you wrote bears any passing resemblance to reality?

Is it possible that the law professor has brought even a lower quality of right wing troll than usually prowls the Mediaite corridors?

Perhaps it’s not….in Italy.

Perhaps, to paraphrase Shakespeare, there’s more to Heaven and Earth than in your philosophy, Sara?

you mean, wrote the Ron Paul newsletter?

Or, since Glenn did, maybe we could all just drop it.  Reynolds can go back to dog whistles and white tribalism and “hey, indeed” and the bright ones among us can go back to ignoring it.

To bad that doesn’t make any sense.

Tea Bagger is not a “gay” term nor is it a derogatory term, unless being applied to the political party, it is a sexual act.  As for knowing what the term liver lips references doesn’t mean you’re a racist it’s more of the fact that one knows history, probably from attending those “liberal places” called college, in hopes of not repeating the ignorances of the past. 

If you comprehended the article he wasn’t calling him racist just stated he probably didn’t know the root of the term was a racist one.  The more modern meaning is plump 
disproportionately shaped lips, which this man doesn’t have.

Come on.  Obama does have “liverish” lips, and it makes me wonder if the man is well.  It’s got nothing to do with race.

That was stupid the first time you posted it, Ken Watson.

You’re aware that Elvis Presley was nicknamed “Liver Lips,” right?

The “law professor” and “constitutional scholar” without ONE paper known to man on his knowledge, opinion or grasp of law or constitution??? LOL.

Is that English?

Perhaps you can cite any passage, reference or historical reference from ANY country equating one’s liverish lips, that [look] surprisingly like Jimmy Carter[s] as being a derogatory slur aimed at blacks? Cuz I thought that BJ Clinton was your first black president. Was the liverlip peanut farmer black?

You’ve got a great point.

Tommy is whining about an offense that isn’t even real when Newsweek’s cover is an absurd insult.  You couldn’t ask for a stupider reaction to this cover.

The new magazine circulation figures for 2011 are out and Newsweek has been forced to change it’s name to Newsyear.

Gobrooklyn has it exactly right. Look at all the hate posts (wanna bet they are authored by a maximum of 8 or 10 professional right-wing bloggers?) blasting “liberals,” as if they had a clue what the word means.

Ask them, and they’ll tell you they are proud “conservatives,” as if they had a clue what THAT word means. The Newsweek headline is not a stretch. It is a legitimate question. Were it an exaggeration, there wouldn’t be half the angry posts on here blasting Obama, his Party, or libbruls, soshalists or whatever other bogey-men these terrified souls see under their beds at night–or in their mirrors in the morning.

you are a flippin’ idiot.  ‘when people worship greed, selfishness and evil’…that would be the GOP.  Did you WATCH Wall Street?  ‘Greed is good’?  Did you THINK that was about the Dems?  Bain?  HELLO???  Get outta the gene pool.  Delusional.

Whoaaaa yaaaa, you hit it, he knows how to read a teleprompter….look out, that’s pure genius, isn’t it?

Colin ‘butt-kissing” Powell is a target but, Condie Rice, no way. That is an extremely intelligent and beautiful Black woman who deserves every bit of admirations she earned.

His hair is graying, is that racist?

Pitiful little people.  The Rancid Masses.

timb116,

I should think it is obvious.

If it isn’t, well then:

A bullshit racist claim is, itself, racist.  It is absolutely racist to see a non-racist comment in racial terms.

That is vile.  You are vile for pretending ignorance in support of the
author of this article.  If you aren’t pretending ignorance, then you
have no room to criticize the quality of anything/anyone else.

Face it: President Obama is a miserable failure, and only crass ideology
is propping up support for his administration among those who care
nothing for liberty or the principles of the US Constitution as written.

Wow!  How weak-willed do you have to be to repeat such blatantly false brainwashing?

I would tell you to go investigate contributions from the financial sector, both individual and collectively, except that it is clear you go to great lengths to avoid actual facts and logic.

The Democratic Party: the tragifarce of incoherence you get when you form an ideology based on being bad at math, worse at logic, and letting bumper stickers do your thinking for you.

Liver lips….fish lips….chicken lips…
All seem to fit in there somewhere….

I HAVE investigated.  How ’bout YOU?  This is what ‘weak-willed’ no real convictions people do.  Commit CRIMES against the country, and then say ‘everyone does it’ or even worse, it’s the OTHER party.  ‘We NEVER did anything wrong’!  To actually pretend you have no culpability in this mess the country is in, to make yourself a victim is why I pray every day that the Republicans do not get elected in November.  Your party who owned all three branches of government from 2000-2006 raped this country and have spent the last few years blaming anyone for YOUR failures.  Unconscionable.  And yes, you can search for THAT.

I lived in America for 36 years. I go home at least once a year. I talk to all my family and friends there, weekly. Not a once have I heard that term was racist. 

How is my statement that I have never heard that the term was racist relevant to your quote? Did I say it isn’t racist, because I never heard it? No. I said I have never ever heard that it was a racist term. 

Your links did not prove it was a racist term.

Some black people’s lips are dark because they have very dry skin.  The more you wash with soap, the drier your skin becomes.  If you lick your lips a lot that can contribute to it.  The cure is very simple.  Regular use of vaseline will clear it up completely.  Most blacks have to replenish lost moisture of the body with oils or creams.  Eczema is severely dry skin which can be cured or helped with oil or creams that replenish lost moisture.  I know, I’m black and have dealt with this problem for many years.
