Why We’re Never Debating With Another White Liberal Again On Obama
For starters white liberals are white. Which means that when it comes right down to it they believe themselves the final word and authority on EVERYTHING—particularly when it comes to politics. They’re so ingrained in this thinking that they have no druthers at all in telling you there’s something wrong with you if you don’t agree with their political point of view—including when they have absolutely no fact-based information to back up their gripes—which is usually what’s happening when they open their mouths to speak on any government related concerns. Therefore it’s a complete waste of time and energy to engage them in discussion about anything other than to tell them, “white liberal will you please shut up, you’re bringing me down.”
That said, we had to endure this week the bent out of shapeness of multitudes of white liberals responding to Robert Gibbs more or less sick and tired of the whining himself and in the most indirect way possible telling the nation’s loudest whining left sector to shut the eff up. For us in the aftermath, this all culminated into what could have been an engaging debate on a couple of the administration’s judgment calls. But no, the white liberal sensing they were cornered because of course we demanded some concrete evidence and only that to support the white liberal’s assertions that the President doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground—we quite naturally wanted to see the goods. Why debate if that’s not part of the deal?
Well, that didn’t happen. Instead we were told we just were looking for conflict—trying to dredge up some drama aka there’s SOMETHING WRONG WITH US. We were horrified—absolutely HORRIFIED—-that’s so predictably racist and “demeaning” of a white person to do when being intellectually challenged by a person of color. Like, something straight out of the sixties. Mind you, they were the ones spewing the gloom n’ doom about the administration with a fairly good amount of self-righteous smugness thrown in for good measure. They were the ones who offered us specific examples of how jacked up the White House and democratic party is. The way we see it, if you’re that worked up over things clearly you must have evidence to support why you’re worked up. It just makes sense.
But nope. Nada. Nothing. Other than the fact that the threatened white liberal attempted to shut us down by dismissing us as “believers” in what we don’t know. Our whole stance was a focus on facts.
Therefore we are never entering again the insane realm of the white liberal mad at the White House, who when it comes right down to it, is actually mad because the magical negro they thought they campaigned and voted for, they’ve discovered to their chagrin does not exist.
However, the good news is for us is, Barack Obama does exist. And after that very unsavory conversation, which frankly not only shook us up but hurt our feelings because we just don’t understand why it had to turn into a personal attack on us when all we wanted were facts, we need to be reminded of why we steadfastly, no matter how loud and long the white liberal base mourns and complains about the magical negro who never arrived at the White House, continue to “believe” that actually we have a very effective leader and agent of change at the helm.
The People’s View blog just published a very good post we think on the whiny ass left and how this ain’t nuthin new. Titled FDR, Obama, and Unprecedented Challenges from the Right, the post reassures those of us who’re ready to scream in terms of liberals and their addiction to dissatisfaction, this was pretty much the same scenario with Franklin Roosevelt. Here’s an excerpt:
If you have ever wondered whether the constant drumbeat from the professional detractors of Barack Obama on the left is something new in history, I urge you to read this fantastic historical perspective by Daily Kos diarist “puakev”: Liberal Criticism of Franklin Roosevelt and The New Deal. The parallels in the attacks from the left on Obama and those directed at FDR during his time are striking.
As I noticed the parallels in the critics, I could not help but think about what many Obama critics have essentially ignored in the context of evaluating the President’s performance: the unique political challenges that Obama faces that FDR never had to: unprecedented Republican obstructionism, politics of race and violence and the right wing media empire. In other words, what we’ve been up against.
Yea, the author GOES IN. You can read the rest via the link below:

Well.
I don’t know if any major politician on the left has really taken on Obama in the way that Huey Long took on FDR, either.
As far as the right wing media empire, I seem to remember that one of the heads of the newspapers (can’t remember offhand whether it was Hearst or General McCormack of the Chicago Tribune that pretty much called for the assassination of FDR.
The entire media, at that point, was pretty right wing, esp. the newspapers. Granted the newspapers didn’t have the immediate reach that today’s media does.

OK, now I've read both posts.
I have to disagree with point #2 at that People's View link.
After all, FDR would have never been able to get anti-lynching legislation through the Senate, he never did desegregate the Armed Forces; hell, he didn't even greet Jesse Owens at the WH after the Berlin Olympics.
The racial politics played out very differently because FDR was white AND upper-class but I think it's disingenious to say the politics of race and violence weren't in play (all those race riots in 1943, hello?)
Well. the thing you don'tr want to do is to compare Roosevelt's incrementalism onn black civil rights to Obama's incrementalism on gay civil rights; some whte gay liberals throw hissy fits behind that.
Even though I think that in that regard, FDR is Obama's model vis-a-vis civil rights (and just as FDR had to clean up behind Wilson, Obama has to clean up behind Clinton?)..
And I'm sorry, I LOVE IT that Barack Obama is continually compared to who is considered to be the greatest President of them all.
