Civil Rights Icon Rev. Joseph Lowery Says Obama Being Thwarted By “Racism”…
Looking at today’s post I think we may have set a record for most race-baiting attacks ever by the left in a single day.
ATLANTA, Jan. 17, 2011 - Rev. Joseph Lowery today said “racism” is to blame for President Obama’s problems.
“People who are so bitterly opposed to the Obama administration are not only concerned about issues that they claim to be concerned about, but they are against Obama,” Lowery said on the Redding News Review radio program. “There is some racism involved in this. I have never seen the kind of vicious assault on a president.
“They’d sacrifice anything to defeat Obama and a part of that’s racial, and I don’t care whether they like it or not, I think it is true.”
Lowery, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama in 2009, made the comments after supporting an Occupy Atlanta effort to save a local church.
“I believe Occupy is a message from God,” Lowery said. “They have touched the conscious of this nation.”
The dean of the civil rights movement made the comments during a wide-ranging conversation about local and national issues.

yeah, from Lincoln to Bush 43, white presidents had a free ride…
“I believe Occupy is a message from God,” Lowery said. “They have touched the conscious of this nation.”
No, they’re unconscious automatons attempting to spread communism along with STDs.
LOL.
I wonder if the DNC has any clue with all these race baiting they are alienating every other race.
Oh yeah, that’s what it is: whitey racism totally stopped Obama from getting elected in the first place……
Someone needs to do a YouTube video putting all the players in the last few days in one place. This raciest crap has to be countered.

MLK’s eternal flame goes out, really! Starting to have another Tebow creepy feeling…
Strange how many civil rights figures claim opposing Communist policies is racism.. since when have civil rights become superior to Constitutional rights?
Racism, racism, racism. Everything is racism. SO, if all the white people disappear, what would they blame it on then, global warming?
Anyone heard of any real racism white on black lately?
Not me either.
@Moe it can’t be countered that is why they use it so much, that and it’s all they have.
The race pimps have totally worn out the terms “racism” and “racist”. The words mean nothing, not a thing. Just about like calling someone a motherfu*cker. So what. Who cares. Yawn….
And yes, it’s beyond old. The card is denied.
It is getting so freakin’ ridiculous, it’s like trying to convince people that the Amish are gangbangers. Are they convinced it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy?Will it get to the point that if you make a face it may be interpreted as rascist? Jeebus, I’m going to bed, nothing rascist about that yet is there?
obama is racism
Racist lunatics (pot) calling the (kettle) black. It’s all they have folks, they are desperate. Seriously, vote this lunatic racist nobama clan out in 2012!!!
Here is an idea!
Let’s have a test move all the black’s that call us racist into a state all alone for 2 years. Meaning they can only survive on their own hard work and they get no money from anyone else.
My bet that they could not survive for one month before the entire state would be in a war with each other.
Talk is cheap.
All Americans would like to see the African Americans rise above their current demise and become more interested morals, values and pride instead of blaming everyone for their problems.
liberal theme song
race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race
race, race, race
race, race, race, race
race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race
repeat, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…. until the end of time
…..and somehow, the ending of time will be racist AND Ws fault.
Did not finish reading the article.
“I have never seen the kind of vicious assault on a president.”
=============================================
Where was he during the GWB presidency? Does he recall all the mish-mash GWB was put through. Obviously, not all was perfect with the Pres. as there isn’t with any of them; however, the constant haggling about GWB was probably more than this potus has ever had to deal with.
…or if we want to get real picky about “vicious assault on a president” look back in time to those assassinated.
Civil Rights leaders fought for decades to be treated just like everyone else.
Now we have assholes like Sharpton and Jackson who demand to be judged by a different set of rules. They feel ‘entitled’ to it by virtue of their perception.
Audey Murphy the all time most decorated american solder in the history received not only man america medals but various medals from england and france went on to become a realy good hollywood celbertiy
Oh yes, Rev. Lowery, it’s not that $16 trillion dollar debt, rising prices, falling employment rates or dictator-like edicts, it’s his race……… We can ignore all the rest even as we lose everything we’ve worked so hard for, go bankrupt, starve and watch Barry give billions to his cronies and supporters, but the one thing we can’t overlook is his race, which btw really isn’t even his race, considering that he is just as much white as he is black.
“I have never seen the kind of vicious assault on a president.”
Was he in a COMA from about 2003-2008? That was the time of the Iraq War under the Bush Adm. The man had movies made about him, openly suggesting his ASSASSINATION. Beats the crap outta anything said or done against this current occupant.
He should have squeezed that ribbon a little tighter.
“I believe Occupy is a message from God,” Lowery said.
-believe that’s a misprint, was supposed to read “Occupy is a message for clods.”
As for this whining nabob of no achievement- hell yes I’m against barry/obama/jackass or whatever name he’s using today- he’s a know nothing punk rich kid who’s skated on his jugeared mocha looks and a complete lack of anything resembling ethics- which allows him to say anything to anyone for his own benefit.
If I’m racist for hating a lazy private school “educated” slackass who is lazily tearing up my country, then so be it.
And by the way- he don’t know shit about basketball, and can’t play worth a damn either. Foot taller than every kid at punahou and couldn’t get any run… punk.
Yup, in an inverted commie world, it is racist to demand our elected leaders serve all of us and the ows movement is some holy cause. Shaddup.
@Grass Mud Horsey:
Yowza!
Everyday anyone who is against Obama is labelled a racist.
It is about to backfire on them. Their constant accusations of racism are only going to solidify the anti-Obama vote.
This is the same guy who said in the Inaugural Benediction:
“We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.”
Seems he’s stuck on race and hasn’t moved on to content of character. Here’s an idea, Rev.: “By their fruits you’ll know them.”
@Vixen:
Thanks for the reminder!

2Co 11:14 And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.
Wrenching the Word in a racist/Marxist meme probably ain’t your best bet Joseph Lowery.. altho Uncle Jeremiah would agree heartily.
Anti-Israelism is fundamental to OWS’s “message from God” so-called. It’s fundamental also to Islam, Black Islam, Liberation theology, Black Liberation theology, and communism.
Anti-Israellism, anti-semitism, and their unequivocally racist construct run in direct oppostion to the Bible, and so, this is another re-write of scripture. It’s just another iteration of the social gospel.
It’s adaptable.. same message as Socialist Worker-Priests in Europe arising in late WWII history, the Jesuits and Liberation theology in Latin America and the groups/movements mentioned above.
The problem is, that people who actually are versed in biblical Christianity recognize the immediate nature of Lowery’s comment/position:
it’s a lot of things..but the Bible is not what informs Lowery.. a blind man can see that
@DanlBoone:
Hammer meets nail.
Yeah O is completely irresponsible, “his problems” can’t be his fault.
Ummmm don’t they all ready have the black vote locked in??
I mean that and the liberals who think everyone but themselves are racist.
Oh Christ. Please just post a picture of John Lewis dusting off his MLK march photographs and I can then get on with my work!! PULEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What “race” is communism? What race is Moslem supremacy?
Dan’lBoone is back…
“I have never seen the kind of vicious assault on a president.”
I wonder what President Kennedy would have to say about that?
A bullet blowing off half his head was pretty damn vicious.
How could “black not be asked to give back”? According to Lowery and his ilk, they have nothing to begin with.
Wow! I didn’t realize that being a civil rights icon granted him mind-reading capabilities.
Time for your nap, Grandpa! Has the nurse changed your diaper yet?
1) He’a a communist.
2) He’s an islamo moslim supporter and jihadist
3) He’s anti-American
4) He’s anti-freedom
5) He’s anti life, anti GOD
6) He’s anti-CHRISTian
7) He’s a LIAR
I have EVERY RIGHT TO HATE THE SOB!!!
Just another “Reverrun” spouting the usual ignorance. Was not the election of Obama supposed to heal all the racial strife? Wake up voters, these people are racist and thieves, vote them out!
Pray for Obama daily. Start with Psalm 109.
People like this wouldn’t have a job unless the race baited.
Joseph Lowery, the NAACP, and other so-called black leaders are in for a rude awakening in Nov. of 2012. Obama’s support among blacks will not be as rabid as they’re counting on. Notice how these lying devils run to the black churches trying to deceive black Christians with their vile lies every election. I’m a black minister, and I’m gonna go into as many black churches as I can possibly get into and I’m gonna eradicate the mountain of lies that those devils are spewing to God’s people.
A RUDE AWAKENING!
