Politico’s Roger Simon says that Republican presidential Rick Perry’s
recent embrace of birtherism amounts to a racist “dog whistle.”

“It’s not a ‘fun’ issue to poke somebody on,” Simon told CNN’s Howard
Kurtz Sunday. “It is more than a little bit racist. Not everyone who
believes it is a racist. It grew out of the belief that a black man
could not be legitimately elected to the president of the United
States.”

He continued: “Now, why would Perry use that in the primaries instead
of saving it for the general when he’s running against President
Obama? Well, it’s because being extreme, perhaps, and a little bit
racist, perhaps, gives you good bona fides in a Republican primary. It
shows them that you are on the same side as they are.”

“So, it’s a bit of a dog whistle?” Kurtz asked.

“Absolutely,” Simon replied.

After almost a week of refusing to admit that President Barack Obama
was a U.S. citizen, Perry finally said Wednesday that he had “no
doubt” that the president’s birth certificate was real.

More liberals calling folks 'racists'. Seems like that's the 'other' answer, the first being 'That's
Bush's fault'.

Y'all need to remove your craniums from where ever you keep 'em.

Uh-huh. There's no question with your posting history here that you are
a racist...and you dislike Latinos, too. Your right-wing racist buddies
give you cover here.

Politico?s Roger Simon says that Republican presidential Rick Perry?s
recent embrace of birtherism amounts to a racist ?dog whistle.?

?It?s not a ?fun? issue to poke somebody on,? Simon told CNN?s Howard
Kurtz Sunday. ?It is more than a little bit racist. Not everyone who

could not be legitimately elected to the president of the United
States.?

?So, it?s a bit of a dog whistle?? Kurtz asked.

?Absolutely,? Simon replied.

Here's a suggestion, vote for Obama and he will rule by executive fiat.

I don't know the truth of the birther issue but it has nothing to do
with race. Odd that every issue is now label racism.

The birther issue is a dog whistle. It's directly related to whites
who see the country being taken over by blacks and hispanics. The
same ones who recite things like "let's take our country back."

It started the minute Obama won the election and there's no other
explanation than race.

Right. It couldn't be that Obama is a Marxist could it.

Yep, like Donald Trump said, anything is better than what we got.

Too bad Trump wasn't running.

When Donald Trump is screwing his wife and he reaches the point of
release he screams out.........his own name.

Yeah, but I shot a 94 at the Medal of Honor Course today.

What an absolutely gorgeous day it was. Days like today make me very glad I took up this game. The
trees are turning and every fairway is like a work of art.

Oh how I wish my ball would land on them!

I was supposed to play Sunday morning. I woke up to snow on the grass
and 29*F. I read the paper instead.

Today we played our local course, Greendale. Again, the foliage was beautiful. Tomorrow I'm playing
Forest Greens which is across I-95 from MCB Quantico. Very pretty course. I'll be taking the camera.
