Yeah, Go Back To Where You Came From, Whitey!
Turns out Al Sharpton just might speak for a larger portion of the black population than I had imagined.
The commercial comes against a backdrop of lingering resentment by some black ministers in Memphis at Mr. Cohen’s election in 2006. Several have been outspoken in the view that a district that is 60 percent black should not be represented by a white man; Mr. Cohen, who is Jewish, was the object of boos and jeers at a meeting of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association last summer.
Heavens, I hope this group doesn't think about seceding from the Union one day so they can have the completely black representation that they apparently feel democracy owes them.
Tune in next week for another exciting segment of How Liberals Eat Their Own. And right on cue, Obama attempts to make the most of it.
Come on, baby ... Daddy needs a new Sister Souljah moment of his own. BUT ... Obawon, this wasn't simply a "personal attack," was it? I mean, doesn't this at least have something to do with Cohen's race? Or are you so afraid of the racial politics that exploded in your face, you don't even want to use the word: RACIST? Hmm ...?
“These incendiary and personal attacks have no place in our politics and will do nothing to help the good people of Tennessee. It’s time to turn the page on a politics driven by negativity and division so that we can come together to lift up our communities and our country,” Obama said.


"Several have been outspoken in the view that a district that is 60 percent black should not be represented by a white man"
Of course a nation that is only 10-12% black shouldn't be represented by a black man then either, right?
I'm not sure they really want to go down this path. It leads to looking like a real idiot.

See what you get Mr Cohen? See what you get for trying to be a nice little libby? All your nice, paternalistic sentiments, what has it gotten you from them? Thought they would appreciate your little gesture, "Oh, we're so sorry about slavery! See, I'm a victim just like you! Forrest wouldn't have me over for Seder!" Har dee har har. Now do you think you're one of them, Steve? Now maybe you should go home and look in the mirror and find people who look like you do to care about! You think those blacks in your district would have stood up for you during the holocaust? Wrong! Cohen, Wrong! They'd have led you out to the Nazi's and handed you over in return for rap records. They would hand your family over to the Moozlim men in a second to have their heads cut off! Wake up! Steve Cohen and all the Cohen's of the world! They would eat you alive! Raise YOUR racial consciousness and survive or ignore millions of years of evolution and perish, what can I tell you? It's your choice to live or die, what will it be?

Well, at least, he's got a landslide.
