  Wow, rare to see something post anything that racist. I thought they tended to stick to just forwarding an email to other people that's already been forwarded 20 times.

How is that racist?

Pretty safe to assume anything involving obamaphones has a racist slant.

You're assumptions are equally, perhaps more, racist.

I think you just haven't seen how republicans use the obamaphone talking point on facebook or news article comments (other message boards political sections too).   99 percent of the time it is brought up in some racist snide comment.

Not really. Black people in the USA faced a centuries long campaign to deny them equal rights, and comparing them to gorillas/implying they are lesser humans was part of it. Poor whites who are on welfare, on the other hand, have not faced any type of campaign to paint them as lesser humans that are similar to gorillas.

And hey, look at this - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=obama+phone

Why, its almost as if when you talk about poor people getting free cell phones, nearly every conservative in the USA imagines a black person. I wonder why?

I'm not sure but I think sonofdax is one of the people in this video.  The one who looks like Merlin Olsen.

Favorite line: Make them show you where it says "hunting" in the second amendment.

Meh. Maybe. I don't even know what the phone controversy is.

using the "just because my religion supports bigotry and I follow my religion in their support of bigotry doesn't mean I'm a bigot" talking point is such a rough ridin' pro-move

Yes. Enjoyed this. "Being prejudiced against us for being prejudiced against you is hypocritical".

yeah, it's awesome. I'm not judging you, I'm just saying that I believe your lifestyle choice is wrong.

These are not my FB friends but just comments on the NBC News post about Connecticut passing new guns laws.

Angie Burkey They have to get ride of the guns because their getting ready to do something very bad guys! Hitler did the same things in germany..go look it up! WAKE UP

Joe Bondi Wow, great bill considering assault weapons weren't used. Nice!!!!

Mark-Terry Beaumier what a pity for the people of CT, and yet the next killing will find excuses and not solutions.

Sheila Allen Neergaard The Newtown guns were all legal..the kid was crazy..no one did anything about him. What part of the new legislation addresses that?

Lisa James Let no good crisis go to waste? How is making more disarmed victims going to make anyone safer??? Criminals do not follow laws.

Steve Graff so we can have more shootings like in Chicago?

Jason Manning otherwise known as TYRANNY!!!!!. Boy you people and your imaginary rights to an infinite arsenal.

Bloop Oner and in other news, Connecticut just became the #1 spot for home break-ins

John Darlington Connecticut now the PISS ON THE CONSTITUTION STATE! Ill make an effort to make sure not to purchase any goods or services from that state!

Steve Graff It will only promote more democrat hate crimes....

LeeAnn Fitzgerald-Stern How this for gun control laws, when blacks are protecting the CRIMINALS  http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/29/17516751-local-official-is-6th-arrest-in-georgia-babys-shooting?lite

So to know if it's racist we must know the intent of the original poster?  Or must every individual accept the point of view of the perceived majority?

It's like when someone says waters knows the playbook better than sams.   History of its usage shows likely intent.

I always enjoy a good reference to what the Nazis did in Germany when comparing it to US laws.  You can laminate that card and put it in your wallet because you'll be able to pull that out forever.

Fair enough.  I didn't see it as racist but I can see how others would jump to that conclusion.  But I've been exposed to more white trash than I'd care to admit.

I think the only controversy is that we give 2.5 billion a year to carlos slim to provide phones.

This was the same person that posted the "Why we need guns" pic.  I'm she's more white trash and mad at Obama rather than racist, though, I'll admit, I thought of this post as more racist than anti-Obama.
