Racist fuck.
Oh I can't make baseless claims on the internet? What's your excuse?
Look I don't really like how Obama has handles anything but laying the blame on him is pretty fucking retarded when these programs have been in the works for decades.
- kyro 13y agoThe New Republic's owner and Editor-in-Chief is Chris Hughes, Facebook founder who coordinated Obama's online campaign for presidency, so I'd reassess your read of whatever racism you're seeing.
- taproot 13y agoThere wasn't any. Did you not read my post? I was trying to point out that you can't just make baseless claims like that.
- mcherm 13y agoI did read your post. Perhaps you need to step back and consider carefully what techniques for communicating are most effective, given the reactions to your post by many in the intended audience.
- vellum 13y agoThe article doesn't make that claim: In expanding the surveillance state and the White House’s wartime authorities, Obama has continued a grand and unfortunate presidential tradition—fresh details of which have quietly come to light.
- taproot 13y agoOf course, none of that happened. Although President Obama could have reined in the surveillance state, as we all know, he did not. On the NSA, Obama has made the opposite calculation. Seems like it does to me.
- sp332 13y agoIn the part you quoted, it's clear that Obama didn't start the surveillance state. He just didn't "rein it in".
- sillysaurus2 13y agoSo I've got to ask... What part of the article did you feel was racist?
- fixxer 13y ago"You disagree with Obama on issue <XYZ>? Must be your inherent racism..." I'd love it if I hadn't actually met people (plural) who believe such things...
- taproot 13y agoNone of it... I think you missed the part about baseless claims I was getting at.
- Kudos 13y agoLooks like it backfired.
