Obama is only 6-1, and I’m pretty sure he’s not even made of clouds.

This is about the most ignorant thing I have ever read. Must you people _look_ for ways to divide us as a nation? Where I live black clouds have always meant a hard time to come. Mr. Christopher, you ,sir, are the race baiter.

what?!!!!
The full video of the “black cloud” comments can be found here,
http://www.breitbart.tv/outrage-nbc-news-ed-schultz-uses-deceptive-edit-to-paint-rick-perry-as-racist/
This author Tommy Christoper, either didn’t do his homework or he is a left wing smear merchant.
The entire country is now immune to the calls of racism.  Remember the story about the boy who cried wolf?
uhoh, I said boy…..clearly I’m racist.

here’s some fuller context Tommy
http://www.breitbart.tv/outrage-nbc-news-ed-schultz-uses-deceptive-edit-to-paint-rick-perry-as-racist/

Doesn’t the racism really come from the people who could connect “big black cloud” to the tone of Obama’s melanin? I certainly did NOT go there first. It was the furthest connection from my mind. Ridiculous.

For F*CK sake!,reilly!!.

When all else fails (i.e. when there is no logical answer to make), play the race card. Oops, that’s pretty much all the time! 

I live in Florida; I see big black clouds all the time in the afternoon.  They signal an approaching thunderstorm.
  Apparently they also signal a visit from the President.  And all this time I never knew.

“This country has too many issues to be dealing with these racial games.” Ms. Ryan continued.

 Very true, but perhaps not in the way the Ms. Ryan meant.

Should we just remove the word “black” from our lexicon until after the election?

Keep reaching libs.  Maybe someday some small part of your wishful thinking BS will turn out to be true.  I think I might win the lolttery first though and become one of those ‘millionnaires’ we so often hear about.

Tommy is usually a fair guy. I think when he sees the video clip it will become clear he was referring to the debt. The Bernanke comment was dumb, but this is much ado about nothing. 

Thank you for this link! I’m so sick and tired of these Alinsky tactics. I thirst for real journalism.

Dark cloud would have been better, but his treason charge against Bernanke is more worthy of scrutiny.

tommy thinks obama is a double rainbow hanging over us!!

Well, Obama has a big black bus. It’s like the fricken Death Bus and he’s Darth Vader pointing the superweapon of economic destruction at us all. President Downgrade.

Only to a “foaming-at-the-mouth-liberal” was this a comment about race. It was a comment about unemployment, debt, spending, taxes, AA+ credit rating, and a MASSIVE failure of his 3 years. Only to nutjobs like April Ryan and Tommy, who look for it behind every bush, whould this be streached so far to reach this conclusion.Shameful Tommy… Shameful.

There is a big brown cloud over this story, because I just farted on it. 

Hey Tommy….will you apologize for your blatant race baiting?  Don’t we have enough Reverand Als and Big Eds already?    Its truly wrong to put this racist slant on a quote that was clearly intended to indicate the black cloud of debt.  Did you go to school for this level of incompetance?  You need to sue that institution for a refund and then get some help with your bias.

Somehow a speech where Perry was talking about the federal debt and said “…being able to pay off fourteen and a half or sixteen trillion dollars worth of debt. That big black cloud, that debt…” gets turned into “…that big black cloud [that president]“. Wow. Just…wow. This isn’t media bias. This is pure partisan hackery.

No. Dark cloud would have been synonymous, not better. Is this really how things are going to be now? Tiptoeing around every word trying to avoid some jackass’s “gotcha”? Not you, 2012 – but this Maurice Garland is the perfect example. Everyone responding to his article is on the race card bandwagon 100% even though the phrase was obviously meant as figurative “storm clouds”. If we ever do overcome this deficit, are we allowed to say the country is in the black? That’s a good thing, right? Does it still count as blatant racism to use the “B” word to describe the actual hue?

Clicked the race baiting link at the end of Tommy’s write up where it leads to his collection of dog whistles and imho, it appears that even after almost three  years, liberals are not mature enough, seasoned, ready, etc. for a black president.  It’s almost like a bunch of old maid aunts hovering over a sickly child waiting for it to sneeze. 

Do we have to eliminate the word black, food stamps, basketball, etc everytime we have a black president? This is rediculous, nonsense like this divides us.

Sick race baiter.  For God’s sake does race consume every ounce of your puny skull?  Anybody with a functioning brain knows what the hell Perry’s talking about here.  AND HE’S NOT COMMENTING ON THE PRESIDENT’S SKIN COLOR.  How stupid would that be, anyway???

“big black cloud”

I think every book, movie, paper and sound of the word “black” should be removed from our society.. how racist to use such a thing although it’s as common as white! tisk tisk!

From here out “Black” should be replaced with “nothing” !!

“big “nothing” cloud”
there..better..

Im stronging considering removing “white” as well! Just to balance the society.

‘big fluffy “nothing” clouds”

There..better.. less meaning and confusing.. but not racist..

Obama is one half “nothing” and the other half of “nothing”… now there is some meaning right thar!!

Glad we solved this!!

Yeah, let’s wipe out millennia of traditional symbolism of black being bad, and white, good. Political correctness has us tongue-tied and afraid to speak out about anything.

But then after the big stink, the Left will come along and be as virulent as they please, without consequence. It happens every time. See Gabby Gifford, Sarah Palin, Tea Party, new tone, Biden, “terrorists”, etc.

Tommy and Ryan would have still twisted it like origami to make it RACIST.  People like Ryan (and yes I read all of her twitter feed) are psycho, thin-skinned, spewers of bile that no one should ever take seriously. As she, and people that think her way, are not serious people.

Governor Zoolander had better learn to love the taste of leather as it seems he has a propensity for putting his boot covered foot in his mouth regularly. 

The left wing race baiting machine is race baiting. Oh no!

Perry was obviously speaking about the debt. It is clear in the unedited version of the clip and even fairly clear in the edited version. So now black cloud is a racist term? lol

Please Democrats, run on race baiting, run on raising taxes and run on class warfare. It has been working so well for you thus far.

Talk about over-reacting.   WOW.
Who’s the racist?

Tommy Christopher once again outs himself as a race-baiter.  What a sad, pathetic child.

Other racist words include: “black sheep”, “black top”, “black Friday”, and AC/DC’s album “Back in Black”.

This is such a blatant lie that I can’t believe Tommy would stoop so low.  It is obvious from the clip that it has been altered and if you watch the whole thing, Perry was talking about the debt.

I hope you liberals continue to edit and push obvious, blatant lies.  It only hurts President “I have it worse than Lincoln” in the end.  soooo…keep it coming.

Racebaiting brings in the page views.

Um, nice “journalism” there, Champ.

Why don’t you try watching the entire clip before you go off half-cocked.

How embarrassing for you.

Metallica’s “Black Album”; “Black Balled”; “Black Eyed-Peas”; “Black as Night; “The Black Knight”; “Black Hole Sun”; “Black Beard”; “Black Eye”; etc…etc…etc.

And don’t get a liberal started on “Dark”. It would NEVER end.

“People aren’t stupid.”
If that were true, she’d be out of a job.

This moron Tommy is referencing actually wrote in his Blog that he hope’s Perry doesn’t “hang” big black clouds. What a POS.

Not your best work Tommy.

Hey Tommy….will you apologize for your blatant race baiting?

Don’t be ridiculous. What else has he got?

Credible evidence is being uncovered that shows Rick Perry
was born in Nuevo León, Mexico. His birth certificate including
the long form is a forgery. Why? This is all part of the Mexican/La Raza plan
of taking Texas
back! American patriots including Jerome Corsi and Joseph Farah are
currently in Monterey
uncovering evidence of this nefarious plot.

Perry is the Mexican usurper. Rick has been noted on numerous occasions of
praying while facing Mexico City.
Perry is a secret practitioner of the Aztec religion as well. Rick will
tear your heart out someday! Human sacrifice will take place at the Alamo under Perry.

Help us Orly Taitz!

THIS IS NO SILLIER THAN MANY OF THE RIDICULOUS ACCUSATIONS, RACIST STATEMENTS, AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES AIMED TOWARDS PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Rick Perry is the big dark cloud hanging over America. I think Rick is running for POTUS because this is the only way he can get surgation.

I’m sure there are many examples of people saying racist stuff in campaigns, or people saying stuff that could easily be taken in a racial context, but this example doesn’t meet the giggle test.  An out-of-context quote about black clouds doesn’t strike me as racist.  When someone talks about tar babies or the president getting off the basketball court I’m there with you and think if it’s not intentional, it’s at least a poor choice of words.  Black cloud has no racial connnotation that I’m aware of though.  Do republicans have to be wary of ordering black coffee in front of a reporter now?  How about saying they don’t like black licorice?  Every phrase with black in it can’t be racially motivated.

You have got be kidding? his is a joke right? I guess Perry should have said “Sword of Damocles”…look it up Tommy.

Go with this. It makes you look as good as the Palin and Obama birthers like Sullivan and Taitz.

perry clearly says “that big black cloud, that debt” nice that they edited it…

http://mrctv.org/videos/nbc-news-caught-red-handed-selectively-editing-doctoring-video-smear-gov-perry-racist

I think the phrase is usually ‘Dark clouds’, ‘Big Black cloud’ has a ring to it that was obviously supposed to be picked up by the media.

Even if he did say it about Obama (which he didn’t), get your panties out of a twist.

I guess if he had said it was a ‘typical black cloud’ like Obama said his grandmother was a ‘typical white person’ would you pay not attention to it.

How sad for you really. This piece has been up for almost an hour and you couldn’t even bother to update the full context.

I don’t wish unemployment for anyone. Except for any Democrat politician and the hacks in the media.

Not withstanding the contrivance of having to pretend that the euphemism “black cloud” is as rare as the expression “in sixes and sevens”, I love the adjuration in the final paragraph that Perry watch his words.

I suppose this means substituting the word gray for black…as in…”we need fiscally sounds policies that will put us in the grey”….

I don’t think there’s been a time when partisans have been more callow, or more absurd.

Living in Florida, you probably know that big black clouds are often accompanied by whitecaps.

the smoke monster from lost is filing a complaint with the rainbow/push coalition…

Pot calling the kettle black.VERBOTEN!!

Black Magic.VERBOTEN!!

If any of you liberal moon bats had listened to what Governor Perry actually said, he said that the ECONOMY was a big, black cloud.  And it is.  A bunch of race baiting morons populate the left. 

The big black cloud he is talking about is the national debt and our economy.

I’ll await Mr. Christopher’s correction on this.

Yeah, I’m patient.

Seriously? Dark cloud and not black clouds? I’m from Oklahoma, and I can tell you one thing from tornado ally…. black clouds mean BAD things, not black people. GAWD, you people are stupid. Reallly, we’re supposed to watch ourselves and if we ever feel we might utter the “b-word,” we’re supposed to stop and think for a moment if we can find a synonym? Shaddup already!

Uh-oh… shouldn’t we instead call it a big “dark” bus? We might offend someone.

/sarc

SO. SICK. OF. THIS. CRAP!

Oh no he dit’ int.  ” Big Black Cloud “, is the Secret Service code name for Michelle Obama.

Parrys a gawd damned racist and that makes his stupid ass defenders like you just as bad…..no more playing games with you crossburning bigots….you gonna get called out EVERYTIME you say some stupid shit

Zerlina Maxwell:  While Perry seems to be referring to the dire economic
situation it is a very peculiar turn of phrase to be sure. Does this
“big black cloud” have a name? Is the “big black cloud” named President
Barack Obama?

Ummm…. at the risk of being too literal by not engaging in utter abstraction, let me reply that Gov. Perry did, indeed, give the cloud a “name”, Ms. Maxwell.  He expressly called it “the debt”.

We see how scared the left is of Perry.

You’re a child.

Rick Perry Draws Fire For Saying A ‘Big Black Cloud’ Hangs Over The Country

You’d have to be Robert Stephenson stupid to make that racial .

Or, you are lying .

I knew it was going to be good when this guy from Texas joined the race but I didn’t think it would be this good!

This guy can’t keep his foot out of his mouth and the TeaBagger Cult can’t stop whining!!!

The Righty primary is going to be a full Comedy Fest!!!

Tommy will label every political opponenet of Obama as racist. Don’t confuse him with facts or actual video clips. Not long ago, he created the word ‘monochromatic’ to describe the Palin gathering as racist. Tommy could have looked at the actual video and realized that Perry was refering to the debt as the big black cloud hovering over the United States. But the bottom line is Tommy did not, otherwise it would not suit his purpose. Yes Tommy, we get it, all political opponenets of Obama are racist. Perry should have called the Debt as the big white cloud and blamed it on W Bush.

Perry’s exact words: “That big black cloud that hangs over America…that debt that is so monstrous…”

He’s talking about our national debt.

I’m sure Tommy Christopher will correct this post.

Race card, race card! Faster than electronic poker at Harrah’s! Play it, Tommy!

Look out, Perry. You’d better make a list of words you cannot say and cliches you cannot use.

Tommy, why don’t you start compiling a list. You can start with…

1) Niggardly
2) Tarred and feathered
3) Tar baby
4) Watermelon
5) Fried chicken
6) Ribs
7)??????????
 

Now, if Perry had said a “skinny half black cloud hangs over our country” I think the reference would be more relatable.

Maybe now the word “cloud” will be racist too.

Song sung byEddy Arnold:
There’s a black cloud hanging over my head

Down to my last buck

With that old black cloud hanging over my head

There ain’t no such thing as good luck

On the very first Saturday of every month

I go to town to get my some pay

When I ask my bossman about the draw

This is what my bossman say

There’s a black cloud hanging over my head…

Well I earn my livin’ by sweatin’ my brow

I work so hard at my job every day

With that old black cloud hanging over my head

That drive my dreams away

And if it wasn’t for the help of the one I love

To tell my troubles to

There just ain’t no tellin’ what that old black cloud

Might drive this poor boy to

Black cloud hanging over my head…

I’ve got a seed in the ground for to grow me a tree

This is what that black cloud done

They said all the locust to eat up the tree

I’m gonna cook my brains in the sun

In one of these days when I bade away

I know that cloud can’t wait

It’s gonna holler over me on Judgement Day

To keep me out of the pearly gate

Black cloud hanging over my head…

Black cloud over my head black cloud over my head

Black cloud over my head

oi!  Ya stupid git, you’ve been fooled again.  The clip was edited for just the reason libtards like you get your nickers in a knot—you have only one truth and that’s the one your fellow travelers have been shoving in your gob for your entire life.  Do yourself a favor and climb out your mommy’s basement and think for yourself.

Impossible to be that patient! You’ll turn to stone before you get a correction out of him.

Don’t forget anything having to do with basketball OR baseball.

seconded, this is outrageous and a retraction/correction should have been posted by now.
http://www.breitbart.tv/outrage-nbc-news-ed-schultz-uses-deceptive-edit-to-paint-rick-perry-as-racist/
(N.B. the Breitbart article was posted up at 1:02pm. MRC, who are the first hand source, would have posted the video even earlier)

Tommy:
You’ve proven (once again) that you are nothing but a divisive, race-baiting POS.  To even suggest that what Perry said had anything to do with race is beyond egregious.  It’s a flat out lie.  You should be ashamed and you should apologize for being a divisive, race-card playing moron.  You truly have no shame.  

Why all this sudden picking apart, taking out of context, editing, and misquoting of everything this state Governor says? Oh, right…fear.

“Half-cocked”?? Now that’s a CLEARLY racist epithet if I ever heard one…I mean you know what they say about non-Black men…

Retraction or no retraction, it doesn’t matter.  This is the mindset of the left.  They look for and invent ways to call people racists because they don’t agree with them on fiscal issues or flavor of ice cream.  It’s not like this is the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time Christopher has done this.  He has a long record of playing in the gutter when it relates to issues of race.  He’s a race baiting hack and no retraction will ever fix that.  

Wow! That didn’t take long for the race hustlers to call Perry a racist, did it?
I bet The View will be interesting tomorrow, watching Whoop-dee-doooberg go off again.

Johnny Cash had to, just had to be racist long before AC/DC,  He was the man in black, isn’t all becoming so clear now?

>>> by Tommy Christopher | 4:22 pm, August 16th, 2011

Hey Tommy, where ya at? Don’t ya think it’s time to update this turd of a story [that you COMPLETELY fumbled]?

O….M…G!!!!1!!!!1!!!!

Perry said “DEBT” and……..gasp “MONSTROUS” too?

Clearly he’s saying that all Black people are monsters and they are all in debt!

Haha! 
I thought it was “Cheeburger cheeburger cheeburger”!

What don’t you understand about the clip being edited you moron?

Tommy has a looooong history of playing racial games.  He is anything but fair when it comes to playing the race card.  He deals from the bottom of the deck.  

I’m a liberal?

“People aren’t stupid. Big black cloud, take back our country, these are code words, and people aren’t stupid.” Well Ms. Ryan you apparently live in a racist vacuum… code words or age old metaphors- really?  keep fostering ‘the- demon- behind- every- rock” mentality, it seems to be working for the racially charged stupid. I am still waiting to see how MoveOn’s “Kill Romney” campaign line of attack turns out. There was an article on Palin’s toe nail design the other day – She painted them black with white polka- dots OMG!!!! does that mean she thinks we are being taken over by the black community?!? I am sure there are other “codes” we stupid American are missing. Srsly… thanks so much for pointing out the secret language of the GOP.

OMG ! The libs are sooooooo stupid. Anyone with a brain understands the reference. Thank you, thank you and thank you again. The independents and so called “moderate voter” gets royally pissed off by this kind of stuff. So MSDNC and the progressives can get whipped into a frenzy over this ‘phony” out of context quote. 
Obama is to the US economy what a tornado is to a Costco.

What’s the matter Tommy? 

Haven’t you seen enough racially motivated mob violence yet?

Why are you still trying to incite the Black youth in this country, when innocent people all across the country are being hospitalized with fractured skulls and jaws and being beaten and kicked unconscious, all because you Leftists have been smearing good people as racists ever since Obama has been President, and the Black youth in this country are listening to you and striking out in violence at the first vulnerable looking White people they see.

You’re smart enough to be able to put 2+2 together, aren’t you? These violent mobs haven’t grown organically. You leftists on your blogs and in the media have been telling them for three years now that everyone who disagrees with Obama does so because they are racists against Black people, and now the chickens have come home to roost. Let’s hope no one you love and care about get’s over run and kicked in the face because their skin is the wrong color.

OK…unfortunately for your dumb ass. This is not one of those times. Better luck in the future, moron.

Your clearly racist remark is a rainbow colored cloud over my day.

Mr. Christopher… that fact that you took this lefty bait only makes you look like a pre-destined idiot.

Mr. Christopher… that fact that you took this lefty bait only makes you look like a pre-destined idiot.

mediaite’s editors should be ashamed. First, would it kill you to get a full video before posting?  You nailed Breitbart for that (over and over), but at least he learned from it and gets full video first.  

Second, once it’s confirmed to be a fake story, update the headline to be accurate.   

Yeah, choose your words carefully, because Tommy and his ilk will be waiting with bated breath and their laminated race cards.  It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.  

finding a racial element in ‘black cloud’ is like finding it in the term ‘in the red’ or ‘in the black’.  The color has actual meaning. Black cloud is because the clouds become nearly black during really bad stormy weather.  Red and black for profits refers to the colors used in ledgers to show the totals and differentiate between loss and profits simply.

Seriously, get a grip.  

If you’re going to imply someeone is a racist, you had better get your facts right.   I agree on your point, racism is now a joke because of its overuse and faked use.  It’s like the old saying, you keep saying a false claim, when a real one happens, no one will believe you…  pathetic….

On a good note, Gov. Perry must realize he’s scaring the liberal media machine.  No one bothers to destroy you if they don’t fear your ability to be elected.  

How’s that crap sammich tasting, moocher?

I think they’d like that. There’s absolutely no chance of us being in it before then, so it’s best we not mention it at all.

NO! That would be like calling him a darkie! Maybe since he’s on the bus it’s OK for it to be a black bus because he is the black President…but only Democrats are supposed to mention that…so….aaaauuuuuugggghhhhhh!

Fine, it’s blue. The bus is frigging blue. You all happy now?

I think the left is subconsciously conceding that Obama doesn’t have a prayer in 2012. So far in just 3 days since Perry announced his candidacy, they’ve tried crediting Porkulus for the job creation in Texas, feigned outrage over his “almost treasonous” remarks about Ben Bernanke’s destruction of the US dollar just weeks after dozens of Democrats and media sycophants called Tea Partiers “terrorists” and “suicide bombers”, and now are resorting to blatantly taking remarks out of context in order to paint him as racist(what would Shirley Sherrod say about such behavior?). What they’re also doing is making it even more difficult for substantive arguments against Perry(of which there are plenty) to stick since most voters will roll their eyes and think “here they go again”.

“I contacted Governor Perry’s office, and the ABC News reporters who
wrote the story, to see if they could provide a fuller context for Gov.
Perry’s remark.”

Want to at least get the rest of the sentence where he said it before you freak out?

“Being able to pay off 14 and a half or 16 trillion worth of debt …
that big black cloud that hangs over America, that debt that is so
monstrous … there’s only one way you get rid of it that’s practical,
that makes sense and that is to free up America.”

“that debt is so monstrous”… look at his racism calling Obama monstrous… oh that wasn’t about Obama? 
You think he meant The Debt?  But that’s right when he was talking about the “big black cloud”… which we know MUST be Obama, so why isn’t the debt a racist accusation against Obama too?

Want to try this again?  Either tone the crazy down and realize the “big black cloud” is him referring to the debt; or turn the crazy up and make every single word he said a racist allegory for Obama… either way really.  But as it is this post is kind of boring.

Dr. Coburn is racist. Back in Black.

It’s a mind control plan, I’m guessing.

Dr. Coburn is racist. Back in Black.

What’s really funny is that it’s city dwellers pushing this stuff. The mobs start where they live, folks. Cloward-Piven isn’t going to look like so much fun from your perspective.

the “big black cloud”… which we know MUST be Obama, so why isn’t the
debt a racist accusation against Obama too?

Obama = Debt. That explains it.

Obama is a *clod* not a cloud.

If funny how an obvious edit of Perry’s remarks has fooled y’all.   If you listen to the full sentence, the cloud in question is the national debt, not Obama.

Stick a tamale in it, Michelle!

 Soooo…… yur  sayin that you hate teh gayz?

Google says otherwise…

Oh liberals can make anything racist.  It’s a real gift.  I was called a racist for using the term, “the little boy who cried wolf”. 

That’s so cool- I love when God uses nature as a sign of promises kept. Thank you!

“People aren’t stupid.”

No, “people” aren’t stupid. But apparently Maurice Garland, April Ryan, Zerlina Maxwell and, perhaps, Tommy Christopher are. 

Keep it up, race-baiting fools. There’s a giant black electoral hole forming and in about 14 months, you’re all gonna get sucked in. The good news is that maybe you’ll finally make to that alternate universe you seem to be living in. 

Give him two weeks and Perry will be asking for Obama’s birth certificate. He is just warming up to be Trump 2.0. The Tea-nuts want a brash in Obama’s face brawler, to insult and taunt the President, they hate him so much.

I can’t believe Christopher hasn’t retracted this story yet. Everyone knows it’s bogus and has for 5 hours now.

We’re waiting, Tommy. Do the right thing before we do the wrong thing to you.

Tommy, why don’t you just get t-shirts to wear that are printed with the word CREDULOUS on them.

‘“This country has too many issues to be dealing with these racial games.” Ms. Ryan continued. “’

Tell us about it Ms. Ryan.

It’s astounding that a professional like you would launch into such a screed on no other basis than something said by Ed Schultz.

Well Pablo, I know you and I know you don’t mean “funny” in the literal sense and that you mean it as “ironic”, but a young lady who writes for “The Onion” did get stomped by one of these mini race riots/flash mobs while having a night out with her friends in Philadelphia and was beaten and kicked so badly that she spent time in the hospital.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. So now “big black cloud” must be banished from the lexicon because the president is a black guy? This is so far out there it really is hard to believe. I keep waiting for the follow up article saying this was all a big prank. He was clearly talking about the economy. It’s these race baiting reporters who have the racial issues, not Rick Perry. This is right there alongside Newt Gingrich being called a racist because he said Obama should stop playing so much basketball. I don’t give a damn how many blacks were “offended” by Rick Perry’s comment. The people who were offended should have their heads examined. We do indeed need to take our country back. There’s a big black cloud of race baiting that hangs over the media. 

You CANNOT make fun of Obama! “He is like a developmentally disabled child” “You are a nice young man, those ears are like wings of an angel”

http://www.metatube.com/en/videos/53767/Ross-Bennett-explains-why-comics-can-t-do-OBAMA-Jokes/

The Republicans are really insane they’re now calling one of their own a liberal.  The hysteria is running rampant around here.  

It’s not racist to be racist and racism is just a “card” got it.

This quote is much ado about nothing. Of course, the liberals and blacks, in particular, will use it to demonize Perry. However, watching him the past couple of days, he needs to tone it down. His arrogance and that god complex comes right through. These are not visuals which will win independents.

Add unethical and craven and I’m with you.

I agree.  Whether it’s the VP calling folks terrorists or Perry calling them unpatriotic, this asinine hyperbolic rhetoric needs to go.

Eddy Arnold was a despicable racist, like all C&W singers, including Charlie Pride.

Ask those in Las Vegas, sitting at the card table, what to call ‘…..jack’. While you are in Vegas ask the odd makers about the chances of removing the word ‘black’ from the vocabulary. Or about the chances of liberals NOT seeing racism everywhere. (When they don’t see homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, etc)   

For those who are either information and knowledge challenged, or those who are hearing challenged, Governor Perry NEVER accused Bernanke of being a traitor, or his actions being treasonous.

He said ALMOST! Which means close, for the language and comprehension challenged. In other words, the stupid.

Even Native Americans are RACISTS!

Who would have thunk???

Soooooo, the word “black” is now off limits, huh? the new “B’ word?

I wonder if there would have been claims of KKK support if Perry had said “big white cloud”.

More and more Libs are sounding like racist Chicken Little, especially when their Little Lord Fauntleroy (O-blame-ma) is concerned.

meee oh my………………What a “BROAD” (punn intended 4 u politically correct elites) BRUSH the libs paint with…….I would venture you ain’t NEVER been in or near the Yukon…JACK……They would bone you out here in a heartbeat.

The Spell of the Yukon
I wanted the gold, and I sought it,
I scrabbled and mucked like a slave.
Was it famine or scurvy — I fought it;
I hurled my youth into a grave.
I wanted the gold, and I got it –
Came out with a fortune last fall, –
Yet somehow life’s not what I thought it,
And somehow the gold isn’t all.
No! There’s the land. (Have you seen it?)
It’s the cussedest land that I know,
From the big, dizzy mountains that screen it
To the deep, deathlike valleys below.
Some say God was tired when He made it;
Some say it’s a fine land to shun;
Maybe; but there’s some as would trade it
For no land on earth — and I’m one.
You come to get rich (damned good reason);
You feel like an exile at first;
You hate it like hell for a season,
And then you are worse than the worst.
It grips you like some kinds of sinning;
It twists you from foe to a friend;
It seems it’s been since the beginning;
It seems it will be to the end.
I’ve stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow
That’s plumb-full of hush to the brim;
I’ve watched the big, husky sun wallow
In crimson and gold, and grow dim,
Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming,
And the stars tumbled out, neck and crop;
And I’ve thought that I surely was dreaming,
With the peace o’ the world piled on top.
The summer — no sweeter was ever;
The sunshiny woods all athrill;
The grayling aleap in the river,
The bighorn asleep on the hill.
The strong life that never knows harness;
The wilds where the caribou call;
The freshness, the freedom, the farness –
O God! how I’m stuck on it all.
The winter! the brightness that blinds you,
The white land locked tight as a drum,
The cold fear that follows and finds you,
The silence that bludgeons you dumb.
The snows that are older than history,
The woods where the weird shadows slant;
The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery,
I’ve bade ‘em good-by — but I can’t.
There’s a land where the mountains are nameless,
And the rivers all run God knows where;
There are lives that are erring and aimless,
And deaths that just hang by a hair;
There are hardships that nobody reckons;
There are valleys unpeopled and still;
There’s a land — oh, it beckons and beckons,
And I want to go back — and I will.
They’re making my money diminish;
I’m sick of the taste of champagne.
Thank God! when I’m skinned to a finish
I’ll pike to the Yukon again.
I’ll fight — and you bet it’s no sham-fight;
It’s hell! — but I’ve been there before;
And it’s better than this by a damsite –
So me for the Yukon once more.
There’s gold, and it’s haunting and haunting;
It’s luring me on as of old;
Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It’s the great, big, broad land ‘way up yonder,
It’s the forests where silence has lease;
It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It’s the stillness that fills me with peace.

When you get done please post ALL links to their racist remarks….

You are such a jerk.  Do you really think anyone pays attention to your statements. You rant and rave about everything. Like you give two hoots how “black cloud” was used. You just want to  spit up the race card everytime. Obama isn’t even that finatical about “words”.  Expressions made can mean many different things. Only people like you would turn it around and make a big deal out of it. Your pathetic.

I smell a big black cloud of desperation.

What this article should be about is the fraud and resulting hysteria from race-baiters full of hatred and looking to smear.  The article title doesn’t match this stupid sentiment:
“In a presidential campaign that has already seen more than its fair share of race-baiting,
Gov. Perry’s remark was ill-advised, at best. If he didn’t choose those
words carefully, then perhaps, going forward, he should.”

Are you kidding me?  Every non-Liberal should be chained to the constant concern that every Leftist will deliberately alter their speech and present it out of context to race-bait, and so the GOP should adjust for that?  THAT’S the moral?  It’s not that we should all condemn Shultz and every race baiter?

America deserves to collapse with half the populace this lost on integrity.

Oh for the love of race.  We have red, white, black, yellow skin colors in this country. You cherry-pickers have to make a big deal out of black cloud?  anything to cause contriversary. You’ll keep it up till your dying day too.  You just have to pick at people about race. Oh look there is a big yellow daisy.  Does that make me a racist too?  Why I called that daisy “yellow”….that can mean coward…you want to make a big deal out of that now.  Get a life.

“Full context”? All you need to do is WATCH THE VIDEO OF HIS SPEECH. It’s obvious to anyone who is HONEST that Perry is talking about the DEBT.

Other words and phrases which can’t be used:
8) You Lie (according to Maureen Dowd)

i personally have heard and use “dark cloud”. but its not the point.  lets not all be
fooled – a politician either chooses his words carefully or should. He
either knew “black cloud” would get a response or should have. The two
parties, being the only parties, must placate to their own rather than
trying to speak to the other side. I will give the man the benefit of
the doubt but he should choose his words more carefully.

We should all be sensitive to this issue and continue to diligently fight against this type of behavior. Its possible it was done on purpose to send a message (i hope not but you never know). The “get over it” crowd (referring to slavery and racism) needs to do a bit of studying on the matter. Zinn’s “People’s History of America” is a great historical text on several of these issues, the slave trade and the treatment of Native Americans among others.

The human mind has a way of glossing the past. There was nothing peachy about the slave trade. The slaves were stolen and sometimes sold by their own people, packed like sardines into ships and sent 1000s of miles from their homes. Hundreds of thousands if not millions died on the voyage. The slave trade went on a very long time. “Getting over it” is a little ridiculous. I mean come on. Imagine your entire family is killed, and youre moved to a foreign land where you forced into hard labor, beaten daily, etc…  How long would it take you to get over it? Should your children be “over it”? Grandchildren? Civil rights didnt happen so long ago. The Civil War for that matter was only 150 years ago. There are living people who had relatives alive during that time. And there are plenty who lived through and continue to live in legally racist environments.

I assume most of the people posting here are not racist or at least do not consider themselves so. But just try a bit of empathy, try to hold your politicians to the highest standards, and remember to simply try to treat each other with decency and respect.

are you serious or a troll? what do the words “food stamps” have to do with racism? the very idea of your linking “food stamps” and blacks is racist. plenty of white people on food stamps. plenty of white people play basketball, black is a color not a racist word. but your linking the words “food stamps” to a race is racist. i mean seriously, you searched for words in your brain to relate to black people and you came up with “food stamps”. those are your words, your brain came up with that correlation. analyze yourself, think outside of yourself.  you say you do not want to divide us so take a moment and think.

and have a great weekend and be well.

Perry went to a favorable state to campaign while Texas burns! Rick Perry and the state’s legislators gutted the fire fighters Budget in this last session and now they are hurting in making headway against the current fires in Texas. Perry may have been thinking about the black community in Texas. No one really addressed the issues that are on the minds of most Americans and 24% of the black community!   This crop of wanna-bees are so wrapped up in themselves­, they have lost the people who could vote in 2012! None of these contenders even addressed the presidents­’ job plan. Bachmann and Romney called Reagan’s name to further attention on their comments, and they should be reminded that, Reagan is dead! They can call his name out all they want, he’s still dead! Reagan passed more tax increases than they want to admit!  Black unemployme­nt surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported. None of these contenders even addressed the presidents­’ job plan. Bachmann and Romney called Reagan’s name to further attention on their comments, and they should be reminded that, Reagan is dead!
