Norton, I believe you are intelligent enough to understand that there is no way
that the guvmint needs 48,000 different codes to determine whether or not
a doctor is to be recompensed for his sevices. It's all about bureaucracy,
pure and simple.

Dave KOS was pointing out the racism of the President's opponents in a blunt and crass manner. He was called out for it and acknowledged his error. I don't think ekat's characterization of his post is quite right but she is correct that it wasn't cool. Her outrage (and my criticism) actually strengthens our point that racism gets called out regardless of political affiliation, unlike what TGT's defensive-white-guy comics try to claim.

Sketch screamed He acknowledged it?
Oh my!
STOP THE PRESSES!!!
It's interesting how you guys excuse racist language, promoting hate, as long as the speaker is on your side.
Your outrage couldn't be more forced. I'm the one who called him out and held him to it. Literally nobody else said anything until ekat. The Republicans thread has Obama as "Primate in Chief" and I'm the only one who said anything about it. Yes, he acknowledged it, unlike any of the subversive racist crap that gets posted on this site all the time and is defended against with the "you guys are the real racists" garbage.
I'm ready to forgive anyone for acknowledging their errors and I look forward to your posts in the Republicans thread regarding the "Primate in Chief" images.

What is your point, exactly? Yes, the next DAY couch posted. Dave was called on the post almost immediately.

"Barry"?
a nickname his high school friends in Hawaii gave him?
why would someone who did not know him from those days call the President "barry"?
while I was appalled by President Bush's economic and war policies, I never called him "george", I always called him President Bush
because anything less would indicate I did not respect the office itself and the fact that he was democratically elected President, and that deserves my respect

I've always thought it bizarre that Barry has been considered anything other than what he is.
The first "red diaper" president.
His mom was a young leftist that met his Communist father in a Russian language class.
He abandoned them before Bary was old enough to even know who he was.
Then she married an Indonesian communist. That didn't last long either.
Finally she abandoned him to her parents, millionaires and grandpa an old time Stalinist CPUSA member.
While schooled at the most exclusive private prep school on the islands, grandpa decided he needed a male role model.
Who did he pick,
Not a sports coach,
Not a business leader,
but Stalinist firebrand Frank Marshal Davis!
Other than Davis, Barry had no exposure to "black culture" until he left Harvard to go to Chicago where he intermediately fell in with old associates of Davis.
he's more red than black.

sketch simply took a comment out of context, and made it something it wasn't.
You know...pretty standard GOP-kinda politics.

Apparently, you were okay with using Dubya for President Obama's predecessor.
apparently, you would be wrong
I have never referred to President Bush as Dubya
but since you said I did, prove it, dumbass

Kos, you shouldn't apologize for sh#t.
A little reminder of why the n word went away in favor of dog whistle coded bs in the GOP:
Lee Atwater, GOP strategist & Regan and Bush adviser, on Republicans' image problem with racism:
You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can't say “nigger” — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”
