Peter Johnson, Jr. Calmly Says Offensive Things: Obama Is Using ‘Political Segregation’

video
» 128 comments

Peter Johnson Jr. is easy listening offensive. A smooth jazz bomb-thrower. Emo-racial.

Maybe if you listen to his comments backwards, they’ll sound like beautiful poetry. But if you listen to it forwards, it just sounds like race-baiting. Which brings us to today, and the whole ‘sit in the back’ manufactured controversy.

Tommy Christopher broke down the way Pres. Obama’s new entry to the ditch analogy has been misconstrued by conservatives. There’s no better example than Peter Johnson, Jr. this morning, who absolutely mangled the context. The line that has gotten some up in arms over the last two days was that the Republicans have “got to sit in back.” Remember, this is a speech Obama has made countless times. Here’s pretty much the same thing a couple weeks ago. “You gotta sit in the backseat, because you don’t know how to drive,” he said of the Republicans.

Now let’s take it to Fox & Friends this morning. “Oh really?” asked Brian Kilmeade, outraged. “Should the President be bringing up imagery of segregation?”

Probably not. But, of course, he didn’t. Should Fox & Friends be bringing up imagery of segregation?

Anyway, it was time for Johnson and his cool, calm, offensive commentary. “It’s a peculiar, and strange, and haunting, and really backwards reference that we’re seeing by the President,” said Johnson. “The notion of being in the back of the bus, and that’s a matter of sad American history, embarrassing American history. Rosa Parks, in December 1955 changed the course of American history.”

Alright, stop. The President never said back of the bus. How are you missing that it’s a car analogy, Peter Johnson? He’s made the same analogy dozens of times. He’s not talking about a “malignant, charged era in American history,” and saying “you can’t have the keys but we’ll let you sit in the back of the bus.” He’s saying Republicans can’t drive. It’s auto-ist. It’s age-ist, maybe (they’re too young to drive?). But it has nothing to do with race.

Here’s the big conclusion from Johnson: “The American bus, the American car, is a bus and a car for all Americans regardless of race and regardless of party.” Let me guess – the American bus looks like the Tea Party Express.

    Johnson is right. Obama is doing everything he can to divide people along racial lines. He told a group of latino’s not to let their “enemies” win on election day and that’s just this week’s example.

    This is very interesting.

    However, to provide more balance for Steve, I thought I’d mention an article/study via a media group that has studied election time negative adds.

    http://election-ad.research.wesleyan.edu/2010/10/26/negativity-update/

    “In an update to that release, and with a focus on House and Senate races, we continue to find similar rates of negativity. Furthermore, we find that Democrats and Republicans are airing similar proportions of negative (and positive) spots in federal races. However, there is one crucial difference: Democrats are using personal attacks at much higher rates than Republicans and a much higher rate than Democrats in 2008.”

    They provide a very reasonable explanation, although I’m sure it makes little difference to many people here – possibly even Steve.

    “The use of personal attacks actually makes sense for the Democrats this year,” said Michael Franz, co-director of the Wesleyan Media Project and associate professor of government at Bowdoin College. “The issue environment does not really favor them, in that many Obama policies are unpopular, so many Democrats are choosing to point out the personal foibles of their opponents.””

  • CosmosDan

    This is a great example of the kind of thing that disgusts me about Fox. People talk about them being a conservative voice and liberals objecting to conservative ideas. I don’t. I want to hear intelligent articulate conservatives presenting their ideas, just as I want to hear intelligent articulate liberals presenting theirs. I’d like these ideas to be presented with facts and in that way I can try to do my duty as a citizen and educate myself about what’s going on with this government of the people. I’ve seen some informative excellent exchanges on Fox but way to much of this kind of crap. This isn’t just a conservative view. This is outright dishonesty and a willful distortion of the truth to serve a political and financial end. This is the kind of purposeful dishonest creation of outrage for profit that outrages so many people. It’s part of the way they blur the lines constantly between news, and punditry.

    FTR; I’m not interested in shutting down Fox. I’m much more interested in persistently calling them out on this time of dishonest crap , as well as any other network that goes to this extreme for ratings. It’s time for citizens, whatever your political leaning, to reject this kind of dishonesty as incredibly irresponsible and a great disservice to their viewers.

  • AninTx

    The President’s remark does indicate that he is not too keen on the idea of working constructively with Republicans. And reading into it as being a veiled reference to segregation is no more ridiculous than liberals claiming republicans use ‘code racism’.

    I am not comfortable with a President (The Great Uniter) who continually uses divisive rhetoric with Americans:

    * telling Latinos to “punish their enemies”, ie Republicans.
    * references to bringing a gun to a knife fight.
    * telling Americans that AZ law enforcement will harass them when they bring their kids out for ice cream.

    “Lesser” politicians may be able to get away with it. But a President should never speak this way. Very un-presidential.

It most often says a lot of things liberals and minorities would be in denial about, but the truth does not care who says it; it is always the truth.

  • BobHahn

    Lemme get this straight. A week before the election Obama steps on a pile. The Republicans immediately start squawking about the smell. Are we supposed to be surprised by this? Are we to take umbrage because politicians are acting like politicians? C’mon, this is all low-grade theater that isn’t worth writing about. The people who support Obama think, “Oh no! They are twisting his words.” These are the same people who for a year have been insisting that Sarah Palin — and not Tina Fey — once said that she can see Russia from her house. Well, they deserve this. In fact they deserve a year of it; it’s a shame there isn’t time.

    Campaign Manager of Penn Dem Rep. Patrick Murphy Mails Out Absentee Ballots With Prepaid Envelopes Sending Them to His Personal P.O. Box…

    Pennsylvania Republicans are up in arms over a mailer that went out all over Bucks county. The mailer, which you can see here, tells voters that their participation the election is “in jeopardy” and includes an application for an absentee ballot. The mailer comes with a prepaid envelope so voters can return their absentee ballot requests to the P.O. box of the official-sounding-but-entirely-fictitious “Voter Assistance Office.”

    As it happens, the campaign manager of Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., is one of two people cleared to pick up mail from the P.O. box listed on the mailer. In fact, the Pennsylvania Republican Party has a photo of what it claims is the P.O. box in question with campaign manager Tim Perisco’s name on it.

    While collecting absentee ballots is not out of the ordinary for a campaign, making it look like a government notice is certainly deceptive if it’s not illegal. More than that, it’s a sign of desperation for Murphy’ campaign, which is trailing in the polls.

    I think I have finally begun to understand the Republican concept of accountability:

    Virginia Thomas demands that Anita Hill apologize for having been sexually harassed by Ms. Thomas’s husband.

    Tim Profit demands an apology from the young petite woman on whose head he stomped for having her head in a position in which he could stomp it.

    “Daytona Beach Commissioner Arrested On Fraud Charges

    Posted: 11:46 am EDT October 27, 2010Updated: 1:24 pm EDT October 27, 2010
    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry and his campaign manager, Genesis Robinson, were arrested Wednesday, charged with committing absentee ballot fraud during Henry’s 2010 re-election campaign, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.

McFall brought her concerns to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office in August, prompting the Sheriff’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office to immediately launch a joint investigation that ultimately led to the filing of a dozen felony charges against Henry and Robinson.”

    A trio of Bucks County residents backed by the county Republican committee say they have evidence linking Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy’s campaign to a scheme to flood the county voter registration office with fraudulent applications for absentee ballots.

    In a petition filed Tuesday, county Republicans say the name of Murphy’s campaign manager appeared on a Bristol post office box where voters were urged in a series of letters paid for by the state Democratic Committee to send absentee ballot applications.

    The county Republicans submitted with the petition a photograph of a note inside the mailbox that said, “Tim Percico and Paul Hampel only pick up mail.” Tim Persico is Murphy’s campaign manager, although his name is misspelled in the note. Hampel is a volunteer for the Democratic state committee who said he collects mail from the box.

    While county and state Democratic officials denied involvement in the letter campaign or refused to discuss it, Persico said Tuesday that the “PA Vote 2010″ project that paid for the letters is a partnership between Murphy’s campaign and the state Democrats.

    Persico said the goal of the project is to help eligible Democratic voters obtain and cast absentee ballots.

    He dismissed assertions by Republican critics that the letters were misleadingly worded and noted that the Democratic state committee clearly takes credit for the mailings, which comply with all election laws.

    “The only reason the Republican Party is mad is working parents and college kids are sending in an application because they want to vote,” Persico said.

    Neither Murphy nor a spokeswoman for his campaign returned calls Tuesday.

    Bucks County Democratic Party Chairman John Cordisco said the county Democratic organization has no connection to the letters or the fraud alleged in the petition. “If there was voter registration fraud, it was being done outside the Democratic organization,” Cordisco said.

    In response to the Republican petition, the Bucks County Board of Elections scheduled a hearing 9:30 a.m. Friday at the courthouse to hear evidence of what the Republicans characterize as a coordinated effort to trick voters into improperly applying for absentee ballots and efforts to submit fraudulent applications for absentee ballots.

    “While some of these invalid applications have been caught and rejected by the Board of Elections, we believe many other defective and objectionable applications were inadvertently approved by the Board of Elections due to the pervasive nature of the fraud,” the petition says.

    The petition also asks county election officials to secure all completed absentee ballots at the courthouse in Doylestown until the board of elections can conduct an investigation of the claims.

    The petition is signed by Kelly McGinty of Middletown, and Carlo and Lucy Grilletto of Plumstead. Bucks County Republican Party Vice Chairwoman Pat Poprik said party officials and volunteers have gathered evidence in support of the claims put forth in the petition. The signatories are people who have been involved in the Republican Party, she said.

    “They’re a group of people who are just disgusted with what’s been going on,” Poprik said. “God bless them, they came forward to do something about it.”

    The petition is the latest in a series of alarms county and state Republicans have sounded over an influx of questionable absentee ballot applications. Last week, Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler said his office would investigate allegations of fraud leveled by state and county Republican officials.

    Voter Registration Director Deena Dean said her staff had rejected more than 600 defective absentee ballot applications as of Friday. Although the voter registration office continued to accept applications until the close of business Tuesday, Dean was unable to provide an updated total.

    The petition focused foremost on a series of letters voters in Bucks County began receiving some time after Labor Day. On letterhead of the fictitious Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office, the mailings warned recipients that their right to participate in the Nov. 2 election might be in jeopardy if they failed to respond.

  • blurgh.

    Obama didn’t reference race.

    Didn’t reference a bus.

    Didn’t reference Rosa Parks.

    Didn’t reference anything in regards to divisiveness in America except for drawing a line between those who would obstruct his agenda and those who would support it. If you’re automatically assuming there’s race involved as to who supports Obama, that’s a problem that you and yours need to face on your own time.

    The Republican Party has to grow some fucking balls. Obama’s racial hucksterism is perfectly fair game. As is the Democrat’s position on things like third-world immigration (the more illiterate, unskilled third-world peasants the better! And let’s give them driver’s licenses and in-state tuition and free healthcare!!!). If Republicans don’t “play the race card” in defense of this country than they not only don’t deserve to win, they should be sued for political mal-practice.

    This is a great example of the kind of thing that disgusts me about Fox. People talk about them being a conservative voice and liberals objecting to conservative ideas. I don’t. I want to hear intelligent articulate conservatives presenting their ideas, just as I want to hear intelligent articulate liberals presenting theirs. I’d like these ideas to be presented with facts and in that way I can try to do my duty as a citizen and educate myself about what’s going on with this government of the people. I’ve seen some informative excellent exchanges on Fox but way to much of this kind of crap. This isn’t just a conservative view. This is outright dishonesty and a willful distortion of the truth to serve a political and financial end. This is the kind of purposeful dishonest creation of outrage for profit that outrages so many people. It’s part of the way they blur the lines constantly between news, and punditry. FTR; I’m not interested in shutting down Fox. I’m much more interested in persistently calling them out on this time of dishonest crap , as well as any other network that goes to this extreme for ratings. It’s time for citizens, whatever your political leaning, to reject this kind of dishonesty as incredibly irresponsible and a great disservice to their viewers.

    “Daytona Beach Commissioner Arrested On Fraud Charges

    Posted: 11:46 am EDT October 27, 2010Updated: 1:24 pm EDT October 27, 2010
    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry and his campaign manager, Genesis Robinson, were arrested Wednesday, charged with committing absentee ballot fraud during Henry’s 2010 re-election campaign, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.

    The arrest of Henry and Robinson comes a little more than two months after Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall requested an investigation into irregularities in absentee ballot requests coming into her office. McFall brought her concerns to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office in August, prompting the Sheriff’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office to immediately launch a joint investigation that ultimately led to the filing of a dozen felony charges against Henry and Robinson.”

    And while they are trying to be PC- Henry is a Dim!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The left is melting down? Kind of like the brutal attack on a political activist by Rand Pauls handlers? Every 4 years after a presidential election the opposition party takes seats. This year is no different. Obama is actually in better shape than Clinton and Reagan. The Senate Will not change hands and the house is no slam dunk. So what are we melting down about?

Examine Farrakhan’s “ministry” and ask why he should deserve such respectful treatment from a US Senator. Farrakhan is the leader of a racist cult.

    Your skull must be about an inch thick. It is not me who defines what a “crime” is, that is the purview of those who promulgate our laws. As for the raw number of crimes committed, it may still be true that whites commit more than minorities, but minorities (except for Asians and East Asians) commit more crimes per capita than their white counterparts. In fact, nearly 49% of blacks between the ages of 15 and 40 have an arrest record. On the other hand, only 1.4% of whites in that age group have an arrest record. If you are black, as you claim to be, and if you care anything about projecting a positive image for your race, you would address this fact head on and work within your community and amongst your race to be a part of the solution in reducing crime amongst the blacks. I think that, however, is not your mission; your mission is to continue whining how your race has been held back by the “evil whitey,” and that those “blue eyed crackers” are out to lynch all blacks.

    And you excel at it, congratulations. Embarrassed to be white, what an asshole.

    Alamo2 asks me to listen to Obama or to Limbaugh and then judge who’s the more racist. Obama is the MORE RACIST and wins that comparison, HANDS DOWN!!! 20 years of sitting in Rev. Wright’s Sunday morning racist rants will twist an impressionable second-rate mind very impressively…! Limbaugh is hardly even an opponent of affirmative action compared to the steam-out-of-the-outsized-ears RACISM of BHUSSEINObama, a white-hating semi-Muslim whack job from who-knows-where.

    Have you no shame? Go back and listen to comments by your esteemed leader, Limbaugh. And then me who is more divisive.

    K I did, it’s Obama.

    See what i mean? They are talking about who caused more hate in this country, Obama or Limbaugh. And the answer is Obama! after all. Limbaugh is the one who gets high marks for wanting to cooperate with the nation.

    Obama was the one who said these racist statements about blacks.
    1. “I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”

    2. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
    “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

    3. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”

    After all, who did Rush Limbaugh untie? All Americans by constantly calling Obama a Muslim, united all americans by calling him a jackass, united all americans by putting his racism on Obama by claiming his presidency as revenge for slavery.

    Yawn. The race card is maxed out Cobra. Maybe you didn’t get the meme.

    Why do conservatives pretend “racism is dead”?
    Becuase they hate having a black president so the repeat the same denial speech that the “race card is dead” that’s denial of the existance of racism right there.

    It isn’t. Libs show their racism daily.

    Virtually every comment you make here is a complete lie, and this is one of the most egregious. Do you have no shame? For your 13 points that I tore apart on the Sarah Palin story, it’s clear that you’re a Beckerhead, that you actually believe what Glenn Beck, pathological liar, says.
