Toby Keith, African-American Studies expert.....
Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 08:49 PM by marmar
Toby Keith & Glenn Beck together? Nobody should be subjected to that! :puke:



from ThinkProgress:



Toby Keith: ‘Black Society’ Thinks Obama ‘Talks, Acts and Carries Himself As A Caucasian’»

Country singer Toby Keith, who is on a media blitz promoting his pro-lynching movie, Beer For My Horses, said during a radio interview with Glenn Beck today that he believes “black society” will pull for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), even though “they think in the back of their mind that…he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian”:

KEITH: I think that the black people would say he don’t talk, act, or carry himself as a black person.

BECK: What does that even mean?

KEITH: I don’t know what that means, but I’m saying that’s what I think that they would say. Even though the black society would pull for him, I still think that they think in the back of their mind that the only reason that he is in is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian.


Listen here: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/30/toby-keith-obama-white/



Beck responded by simply saying “Oh.” But it’s an attack line Beck himself has used in the past, claiming that Obama is “colorless” and “might as well be white.”

Other conservative media hosts have joined Beck in employing this rhetoric. The day after Beck’s “colorless” remark, Rush Limbaugh said that Obama should “renounce” his race and just “become white.” Extreme conservative talker Melanie Morgan has called Obama a “halfrican” who “is not allowed to wear the African-American badge because his family are not the descendants of slaves.” Tucker Carlson wondered about Obama, “Is he black enough?”

KEITH: I think that the black people would say he don’t talk, act, or carry himself as a black person.

and then he tells that goat Fucker Beck that he doesn't what he even know what he or it means but goes on to explain what he doesn't understand.

In the words of those philosopher kings Rage against the machine all li can say is Fuck it, cut the cord.

11. TOBY, DO YOU AGREE?
Why McCain is succeeding with stupid slander ads against Obama
Don't you Dems all get it? The issue is simple. The McCain Campaign is full of moral low-lifes, just like McCain. But McCain is so clumsy and keeps popping up dangerous skin moles that he is hopeless as a man who can seriously be seen occupying the Oval Office for eight years sound of body and mind....Given all the Republican scumbags going to jail these days, people are wondering what kind of crooks are hiding behind this Bernie's weekend carcass to replace him when the smell will require admitting that he is no longer with us.

So the way evil Republicans respond is TO SAY ANYTHING dirty that comes to their minds because in the end anything bad said about Obama is believable since to many people, including many Dems, ANYTHING BAD MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, OBAMA IS *BLACK*!!!!

And BLACK is the real campaign issue in what the McCain Campaign think is really a race race.

The McCain Campaign is hoping that enough people are so upset that a black man is so much better that this WHITE idiot, that they'll accept anything criticizing Obama, no matter how dumb it is, just as when a black boxer beat the "Great White Hope," and any excuse seemed reasonable so as not to have to face the loss. The neocons, for example, are running a silent campaign, like the campaign Scooter Libby ran against Amb. Wilson's wife, claiming that Obama is a secret Black Muslim and really hates America and is bad for Israel. Such old commies know no other way than slander and underground campaigns that are too quiet to be noticed and so will not be challenged. Light and air are poison to the anaerobic neocon bacteria. They hope that people will pass on "the word" and will do it quietly so the Obama Campaign never notices that it must respond. It's a sort of slimy "SNIPER SWIFTBOATING" by chicken-hawks!

But these low lifes will meet their own encounter with light and air and, like all anaerobes, will perish as a political force in America very soon. Until then, all responsible Dems must monitor the toxins they spew.

The real issue is that the McCain campaign is throwing ads on TV hoping that these will provide AN ALLEGORY, an excuse, for the real Obama Problem: THAT HE IS BLACK!

So it doesn't matter how untrue and how absurd these ads are. The fact is, they provide cover for A RACE RACE!!!

There's nothing you Dems can do about that, for you can't change Obama's color and it's too late to change the racists attitudes of even many White Dems, since it was only recently that you were exploiting the racism for Hillary Clinton.

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW IS *DISCREDIT* MCCAIN THOROUGHLY AND FACTUALLY FOR THE REAL SCUM BAG THAT HE REALLY IS.....AND, DISCREDIT THE SCUMBAGS AROUND HIM THAT WANT-- JUST AS BUSH DID-- TO KEEP GIVING AMERICA TO THE ROBBER BARON "ENTREPRENEURS" (French for TAKERS IN-BETWEEN who steal from both sides, producing nothing), LIKE THOSE WHO BROUGHT THE ECONOMY TO RUIN AND ARE SELLING AMERICAN PORTS TO ARAB FIRMS WHILE CLAIMING THAT WE MUST FIGHT ARABS TO SAVE AMERICA.

Don't expect the media to do the job because it is owned by the Corporations that brought you the Bush Economy and they will do anything to stop the OBAMA CHANGE they face.

THIS IS THE FIRST ELECTION EVER WHERE YOU DEMS CAN WIN BY TELLING THE TRUTH!

***DEFENDING OBAMA REQUIRES NO LIES BECAUSE HE IS A TERRIFIC CANDIDATE AND YOU NEED NOT LIE ABOUT HIS RACE, HIS NATIONALITY, HIS RELIGION OR HIS SEX LIFE TO SUPPORT HIM.

***WHAT YOU MUST DO IS *FULLY ANS OFTEN* EXPOSE THE FRAUD THAT IS MCCAIN. EXPOSE HOW HOLLOW HAS BEEN HIS WHOLE LIFE AND HOW ROTTEN ARE THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM. EXPOSE THAT THIS GAGA OLD FART HAS A NEOCON LIAR AS AN EXTERNAL BRAIN AND MINDER-- LIEBERMAN-- AND THAT THE SAME BUSH VENTRILOQUISTS SPEAK THROUGH DUMMY MCCAIN AS SPOKE THROUGH DUMMY BUSH-- FOUR MORE YEARS OF NEOCON VENTRILOQUISTS SPEAKING THROUGH DUMMY PRESIDENT!

Challenge McCain's claim that only he is able to lead the nation....If so, why didn't the Navy find him to be leadership material....that's his whole claim to fame, his military service; for his political career is nothing but a lot of opportunism, including offering the Kerry Campaign that he run for Dem VP until Bush made him another offer he couldn't refuse-- that's JOOOOOHN!

HIT HARD DEMS, SO PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO FACE THE REAL ISSUE: DO I WANT TO RISK AMERICA'S DEATH BY TREATING THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AS A RACE RACE, OR DO I WANT TO ACCEPT THE REALLY GOOD AND QUALIFIED CANDIDATE OF CHANGE *EVEN THOUGH* HE IS BLACK?

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD SEE OBAMA AS OBAMA AND JUDGE HIM BY "THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER INSTEAD OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN," LIKE IN REV. KING'S DREAM. ALAS, ROVE HAS POISONED THE AMERICAN VOTER'S MIND OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS AND THE NEOCONS HAVE ADDED TO THE RACE LIE THE "HUSSEIN" LIE. SO RATHER THAN JUST SPIN YOUR WHEELS FIGHTING LIES, WHY NOT FOCUS PEOPLE'S MINDS ON HOW INSANE IT WOULD BE TO CONSIDER WHAT IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE AVAILABLE FOR SOMEONE STUCK SEEING THIS AS A RACE RACE.

IF AMERICANS DON'T VOTE IN OFFICE PRESIDENT OBAMA, THIS ONCE GREAT NATION WILL BE LIKE AN EXHAUSTED GIANT WHALE NIPPED AT TO DEATH BY REPUBLICAN SHARKS IN THE NATIONAL WATERS. SO IF YOU LOVE AMERICA, POINT OUT THE SHARKS TO MR AND MRS AMERICA SO THAT THEY WILL APPRECIATE HOW DANGEROUS IT WOULD BE FOR THEIR CHILDREN IF THEY THE ACCEPT 2008 RACE AS A RACE RACE.

12. (sigh)
The more he opens his mouth. The more I'm convinced that shirt Natalie (of the Dixie Chicks) wore was right about this fool. With Rissi Palmer and others just coming on the horizon. This idiot is something country music doesn't need right now.

15. The OP title should have been "Two douchebags walk into a studio..."
"Keith: I don’t know what that means, but I’m saying that’s what I think that they would say."

Translation: I'm just talkin' out of my ass cuz my good ole boy friends are watchin'.

Melanie Morgan is an idot, obviously. Not all African-Americans are the descendants of slaves.

BTW, I'm sure you're dying to know:

"Beer for My Horses" tells the story of two best friends that work together as deputies in a small town. The two defy the Sheriff and head off on an outrageous road trip to save the protagonist's girlfriend from drug lord kidnappers."

What an original idea for a fun filled romp! I'll bet the drug lord kidnappers are brown or black! :puke:

But in the video the guy pi**ing in the street is Black. The guy they set up a sting for and arrest is perhaps Latino, I am not sure.

16. I'm wondering... do they really think they can influence black voters
with this particular line of attacks? I'm really curious--it seems as though they should just focus their efforts onto scaring white people. Yet they seem to want to influence black voters... so I wonder if they know something I don't? :shrug:

30. Republicans have given up on African-American voters
Now they just disenfranchise them, or pull voting machine shenanigans in their neighbourhoods.

And "voter ID" could easily be the last nail in the coffin.

MLK is spinning in his grave!

Advertising Toby Keith fucking ringtones?

WTF? I know that it's probably some automated program that just looks at the subject line, but damned. So does that mean if I start a post about Hannity or Limbaugh, I might get stuck looking at ads for their fucking books?

It seems he has kind of a functioning brain on a low level, like basic bodily functions such as breathing, but where is he going with this? Is there a master career plan of complete stupidity? Is he going to run for office as a 20th Century Republican?
