But why is that mentioned in an article where someone screwed up "Obama" and "Osama"?...They are two totally separate issues (unless you think the names were screwed up intentionally, and although I find Media Matters stupid, you I don't.)... |
I have no doubts that "screw ups" can exist.
Some, on the left and the right, are non-intentional screw-ups.
However, there are some that are NOT screw-ups, but part of a purposeful campaign to associate Barack with Islam, "Hussein", and "Osama".
The first two are iron-clad, essentially irrefutable fact.
I cannot fathom how you cannot acknowledge the last exists as well.
SOME people who throw out "Osama" are NOT doing it on accident.
Furthermore, when this woman JOKES about killing them both???
Come ON.
That HAS to be a glaring red flag, and I think you KNOW it's a glaring red flag cause it's an aspect I keep bringing up and you refuse to address.

Ahhh.
I think I see where I have not been clear, cause you're not really talking about my position at all.
This has been ONE INCIDENT.
And I have expressly pointed out this ONE incident is part of a BIGGER issue.
But I should make clear that does not mean that there are not other examples of "Osama / Obama" (on the right and the left) where it is NOT part of an anti-Obama campaign.
To use your example, it's not just a cause where "you're white, you're a racist".
This woman EXPRESSLY STATED a "joke" about killing Obama.
Going a step further in the analogy, it would be like a white person not only saying something that COULD be racist, but then ADDING ON a comment about eating watermelon or similar racist nonsense.
It's NOT just the ONE thing.
