    Just switched to MSNBC, Romney said in his speech that when you need the big things done, you need an American. Sharpton said that's a dig at Obama because of the BIRTHERS.

    Some black folks look for offense everywhere and that is prime example #1.

    That's not an impossible conclusion to draw, but I'll need a clip before I can really say one way or another.

    What more can you expect from a race hustler? It's all these bozos have left.

    I'd like to think he didn't use it in the way Sharpton implies, but given Romney's history of foot in mouth disease, it wouldn't much surprise me if he had. I didn't watch the speech either, but will look for more on this.

    Hmm, seems Sharpton isn't the only one making the suggestion, but I'd say it's an example of seeing what you want to see. I have little doubt some birthers will indeed be pleased by the line. And it may even be true that it was inserted in to the speech with them in mind. But nothing in the context implies that is what is behind the words or that Romney himself is a birther. To insist that it is there specifically to stir the birther pot would require that no politician speak of Americans in some special light. That pretty much cancels out most of the campaigns going on in the U.S. right now.

    Sharpton's a racist; why would he take anyone's potential butt-hurt but Obama's into consideration?

    MSNBC hosts have been having big time meltdowns this week..to prove the GOP is racist they cut away from Minority speakers and according to them it is now racist to talk about Obama playing golf and being from Chicago oh and the Republican's want to bring back slavery..never mind it was a Repulican who ended it to begin with. :lol:

    MSNBC is an infotainment outlet that offers little more than criticism of FOXNews.

    Well that is simply true. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and he was the president who signed the [GOOGLE]Emancipation Proclamation[/GOOGLE].

    This kinda reminds me of the Reverend Jesse Jackson calling New York "Himey Town."

    Remember CNN's Judy Woodruff grinding her teeth into powder when she had to report that Bush had been re-elected?

    Actually, it was a Democrat who ended slavery: Andrew Johnson. Lincoln had been dead for about 8 months by the time the 13th Amendment was ratified.

    Now, read this part of the Wiki article on the EP. You'll note that the EP excluded several areas, among them were New Orleans and 13 parishes of Louisiana. The reason those parishes were exempted was that Lincoln had a close friend and supporter who owned a sugar cane plantation and slaves there.
