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.
