Here is another Nice Liberal who seems to believe that if Barack Obama doesn't stand for the things that he convinced himself for no reason and with no real evidence that Barack Obama stood for, then by the Lord above and all the choirs of heavenly goddamn angels, he must believe in nothing at all. But obviously Barack Obama believes in many things. He believes in state capital. He believes in the continuity of American hegemony abroad. He believes that terrorism is an adequate pretext for the erosion of liberty, and he believes that "security" is the most essential public function of the state. He believes in the narrative of personal uplift and betterment via meritocratic credentialism. He believes in American exceptionalism.

I do not expect Barack Obama to condemn the Tea Party's racist elements, any more than I expect Ben Jealous to lead the war in Afghanistan. But I do not expect him, or his administration, to make the work of the NAACP harder, to contradict them for doing that which the administration can not. I do not expect them to minimize those elements, thus minimizing the NAACP's fight, and then accede, to people who are pulling from the darkest, vilest reaches of the American psyche.This is nuts. The first sentence doesn't make any sense--not even if you stipulate that the war in Afghanistan is something other than an excercise in abject mass murder, which I won't, because it's an exercise in abject mass murder. The second sentence is even crazier, for exactly that reason: that the insane death-worshipping, Mammon's-teat-suckling, Molech-praising, blood-drinking reptiloid in the White House should somehow work in concert with the Nice-Liberal rump NAACP in order to bring about peaceonearthgoodwilltomen is plainly not . . . let's use the Liberal's favorite word . . . plainly not realistic.
Look, Ta-Nehisi, the "darkest, vilest reaches of the American psyche" aren't contained within the windy confines of infamous Coelacanth, Andrew Breitbart's skull, nor yet within the raucus but underpopulated tea-party clubs, but in the administration of Barack Obama.

This guy isn't the only one to compare Ms. Sherrod's taped speech to Obama's speech in Philly. I think it's a lousy comparison, simply because I think Ms. Sherrod actually believes what she's saying.
"The 'darkest, vilest reaches of the American psyche' but in the administration of Barack Obama.'"
If so it's apparently because the take all their cues from Fox News.
There's a Raekwon verse that addresses this issue perfectly.
Wu Tang ain't nothing to fuck with!
A Republican says something mean about a Democrat, the media distorts the facts, and the Dems immediately cave and/or wet themselves. And this is NEWS to Coates? This happens EVERY WEEK.
"further evidence that the Obama administration does not regard deep, senior participation in drone activities and targeted killing as something to be embarrassed about; quite the contrary"
Barry believes in the advancement and enrichment of Barry. this much we know. hard to say if he really believes the risible horseshit he spews and who really gives a shit? by his deeds he's a despicable blood drenched war criminal.
Icke looks less damn ridiculous with every passing day.
I do not expect Ta-Nehisi Coates to stipulate that the war in Afghanistan is something other than an exercise in abject mass murder any more than I expect Bo Rama to bring the boys back home.

moar rand paul trolling plz
I never heard of Coelacanth before so I don't get the reference. Why are they infamous and are they being compared to Andrew Breibart's skull? If so, in what way?
I'm serious.
Thank you.
Coelacanth.
