In reply to the discussion: Constantly referring to President Obama as a "used car salesman" is expected of a RW racist. [View all]brush
(53,778 posts)The original Pitt op came before any "lame Obama defense of the Iraq war. It was about the ACA.
He called the president not just "a used car salesman" but "A PIECE OF SHIT USED CAR SALESMAN"?
Everybody seems to be conveniently forgetting the "PIECE OF SHIT" from the original quote. So now he's cleaned it up?
There is no place for that kind of name-calling of a dem president in the first place (and name-calling is NOT criticism) on this allegedly progressive site.
It should have been hidden immediately. This is not freeperville. Why it was not is, IMO, a poor reflection on DU. It was an extremely poor decision by the jurors to leave it up.
And I'm betting that we'll see that quote used in the 2014 mid-terms by repug candidates running against the ACA in ads quoting Democratic Underground as being anti-ACA and anti-Obama.
