Harvey: Obama 'Most Racist President In US History' By Supporting Abortion Rights, LGBT Equality

[Galraedia]

Conservative commentators were stunned and outraged that Oprah Winfrey claimed that “there is a level of disrespect for the office [of the president] that occurs” and that some of the animosity towards President Obama is driven by race. On her radio show last week, Mission America head Linda Harvey said that Obama is the real anti-black racist, and that he may be “the most racist president in US history.”

Why, you might ask?

Because he supports legal abortion and gay rights, of course:

1. Being brainless is a prerequisite to being a right winger.

2. The Harvey who drank with Jimmy Stewart had more brains.

[Gothmog]

3. I have never heard of this lady

It is difficult for me to care about her opinion

[tcfrogs]

4. Who is Linda Harvey and why do I care?

[rurallib]

15. I think she is the child of Paul Harvey and Harvey the pooka

(that is a 6 foot tall invisible rabbit from the play "Harvey&quot

seems to have inherited Paul Harvey's personality and Harvey the pooka's intelligence.

5. I don't think that word means what she think it means.

And I'm not even going to read the article.

6. She kinda reminds me of Betty Bowers when I see her pic.

She's got a couple of professional-looking headshots that are a dead ringer for Betty Bowers.

Unfortunately, she's totally serious - not satire.

7. Good lord, I had to erase everything I was going to say. Ms. Harvey, this is for you:

8. Linda who?

Another nobody who makes an outrageous statement to get attention.

9. Fucking idiot.

Ugh

10. From the Wikipedia article for her organization:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_America

"After JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, revealed that she always thought of the character Albus Dumbledore as being homosexual, Harvey asked, 'Will we allow our kids to believe it would be perfectly appropriate for the headmaster of any school to be homosexual?'"

I get it now. She thinks it's 1978.

11. Wacko lunatic Christian fundie gay hater.

Her organization is Mission: America (Safe Wiki link) which has been labelled as an anti-LGBT hate organization by the SPLC.

Why isn't somebody in power screaming from the rooftops that these are the people in the Republican Party? Why won't somebody stick their neck out? Why?

12. Perhaps if you look at the article to which you link, you'll see why no one is saying much

Ms. Harvey's Mission: America boasts a whopping $23K in revenue. Perhaps that's one reason I've never heard of her before and, now that I have, I won't be adding any to it.

[longship]

14. Well, it hit Right Wing Watch, and DU.

And Ms. Harvey may not be at the head of the movement but she is nevertheless indicative of today's Republican Party who are, as a whole, just like her.

We ignore these ripples at our peril. Because the national GOP thinks just like her, only are possibly more circumspect about their rhetoric.

They are all riding in the same clown car.

13. WTF? That doesn't even make sense!

[madville]

17. It's an old flawed argument

They like to frame abortion rights as racist because black females have abortions at much higher rates (3x-4x) than Hispanic and white females. They claim it is a modern day African-American genocide or something ridiculous.

The main reason the numbers are disproportionate is the higher rate of teenage pregnancy among AA's. they are far less likely to use birth control and/or condoms as evidenced by the higher rates of STDs among AA teens as well.

Here's an article on the subject:

18. That is so sad

Grasping at straws is all that argument does. I know a few people who would believe it, but they believe anything they hear on Faux Noise and Rush, so not the brightest group.
