As soon as I heard Bill rationalize that what Jimmy Carter had ANYTHING to do with policy differences, I TURNED YOU OFF.
What an ass. Not to see the racism displayed by all of the signs at the Freedonworks demon stration. Not to hear it in Glenn Beck’s demonic tone. Not to hear “YOU LIE! BOY” is just too stupid. Bill Press you are just as much a part of the compromising technocrats who are running Obama into a block wall.
As if there could be anything other than the fact that our president is black for what is going on in congress, in the Blue Dogs, and on your own damned show!!!!!
Mr. Press,
You’re speaking the language of many white liberals when you state you’re not ready to go there: directly to racism. You’re allowing for the possibility that race isn’t necessarily the motivation of these right wing political protests. Many white liberals will go through every iterations imaginable before arriving at, and accepting, that certain actions are racist. Your liberalism, or timidity, won’t let you call a rattlesnake a rattlesnake. You continually refer to it as simply a snake until it bites you.
Thank goodness for former President Carter! His brand of liberalism is based in bravery and facts, and not (plausible?) deniability.
