Schieffer Calls Trump a Racist

Mainstream media should be doing this more often. Ask the hard questions and don't give Trump a platform to spew his hate.

Shame on NBC for not doing more to take that platform away. And make money whilst he is doing this stuff.

I, for one, have called birtherism racist from day one. I couldn't understand why the media didn't do the same immediately. I think Chris Matthews was the first to do so.

#2.4:I, for one, have called birtherism racist from day one. I couldn't understand why the media didn't do the same immediately. I think Chris Matthews was the first to do so.

I remember how I was suspended for using the term "racist" about 2 years ago here on NV!

My, my how things have changed! I knew it then and called it for what it is, and still do. I was a bit ahead of the curve on this - and immodestly say that I usually am especially when it comes to race and intolerance; it is not heard to see it and I will call a spade a spade no matter how much it "hurts" the offenders. Good.

These racists still like to play the "cutesy game" and say that we are using the "race card" as a projection for what they really feel about "others" who do not look or act like them- and as way to hide behind their narrow-minded and ignorant philosophy that exudes racism.

Play it off, yes that's the trick for losers!

And don't give me the "some of my friends are black"; they might have some black/other cultures as "associates/fellow workers/or even peers, but I guarantee it is not at the DINNER TABLE, or anywhere else that these racists might be seen with those "friends"!

I got so sick of "donald duck" on yesterday that I turned the entire media off. I had stopped watching donand duck's television show last year and asked my friends to do the same!

This egomaniac, donald duck, is sickening and I can't wait for any show/venture that he is sponsoring to fail miserably and disappear from the horizon for good.

MEG, Carloz had me deleted only yesterday for a one-word post using only that word. I convinced him that I was (truly) not directing it at a poster so he reinstated the comment. I was surprised today to see how freely the word is being used. But what other conclusion can anyone draw? Anything else fails the sniff test.

I too have been suspended for caalling someone, directly, a racist. Won't do that anymore, and besides, any post where I would have considered calling someone a racist would have been a redundant post.

I am ready to cancel my account....wonder if I'll just do that or go out in a blaze of...well..ugly... lol

You note my comment when I say "my, my how things have changed"! We all must remember that the big business megalomaniacs are in charge of the program (s)- they are for the most part repugs!

I feel historically, as shown by their PROVEN acts and attitude, that repugs are more racist than Democrats - on the whole.

I am saying this knowing that "Big Brother" is watching and looking, but they don't want to look bad either - all the time!

Until they are willing and able to accept the responsibility for condoning this racist behavior, the powers that be are just as guilty as if they had said the word/label themselves.

Michael in SJ, when I read your post earlier, I knew exactly what you were saying.

sms, Carloz is usually a neutral minded individual, who is willing to give a commenter the benefit of the doubt. I am not surprised that he restored the comment, but we must remember that sometimes we can not have the final word- even when we want to! Read between the lines.

#2.8:I am ready to cancel my account....wonder if I'll just do that or go out in a blaze of...well..ugly... lol

Hi Maggie, are you considering canceling your NV account? Don't do that; we have to fight these evildoers and thinkers, and the only way to do that is to STAY and fight! If everybody leaves, THEY win and I don't want that to happen. It gets to you sometimes, I know. It gets to me too.

Can you imagine how the President feels - slurs and lies thrown at him each and every moment he breathes? And the only thing he is trying to do is to HELP PEOPLE!

He has great determination, nerves of steel, full confidence and competence, in addition to a belief in himself that make others green with envy and jealousy. His 2nd book is so profound and aptly named: the Audacity of Hope!

How dare he dream and hope? I spun in his glory!

I too have been suspended for caalling someone, directly, a racist.

Welcome to my club - I got suspended for calling Senator DeMint a racist.

America likes to wallow in its own excrement rather than confronting bull@!$%# ideas and progressing as a society. It will never be free of racism until whites make up 25% of the population and their noise is finally drowned out. I say that as a 40 year old white male - who also has a biracial daughter for whom I will gladly kill the first person who calls her a @!$%#, regardless of age, sex, or race. I am so sick of this endless crap because a few idiots among us can't grow the @!$%# up and get over the FACT that people are all different.

If NBC renews Trump's TV show, I'm boycotting it and all its advertisers.

I was surprised today to see how freely the word is being used.

I only use the word for people who deserve the word. Having people forcing our first African-American President go dig up the original birth certificate because they can't get over the legal one that Hawaii issued - that there must be something Obama was hiding...I'm sorry, but birthers are racist. It has nothing to do with Obama's policy or job performance.

Maybe if we all got together and demanded that GOP nominees have to produce a psychological evaluation proving that they aren't incestuous pedophiles before they are "eligible" to be president...

MaryEllen,

When you post satire, you're supposed to put a /s tag on it. Glad I could help.

MaryEllen: Someone called me a "cohort" to a person who threatened her daughter in RL from NV...I'm just over the wacko's in here.

#2.12:MaryEllen,When you post satire, you're supposed to put a /s tag on it. Glad I could help.

It was not SATIRE, nor was it meant to be. And I have two college degrees so I do know how to indicate satire- and I know what it means.

Also, if I need any help with ANYTHING, it certainly won't be from you. You don't appear to be someone I would seek any assistance from -or could help me with anything.

Next time, help yourself and myob! Or better yet, get yourself some!

You were serious?? Two college degrees. Excellent.

Maybe you could enlighten us dullards by explaining this:

I spun in his glory!

Felicitie

How would you recognize MEG's explanation as being descriptive. You know she could be pulling your leg, but then how would you know unless she added "/s".

Michael,

That little /s tag helps things out a lot. She/he still hasn't explained what "I spun in his glory!" means. I'd use it maybe if I knew what it means.

The problem with Obama re the TEApublicans is that he can never prove that he is white.

From their sterotypical born perception of what defines "Black" as in "person" I think they are more perplexed that they are unable to prove that he's Black either, at least by their definition.

"...all you see is white"

not true.

Trump is a racist idiot.

Trump - show us your cooked financial statements and how you screwed your investors.

. The Tea Party does have a few African Americans show up at their rallies, but are they paid to be there, who knows?

Yes they are paid to be there, not to participate, but to clean up after the rally. They make extra if they walk in front of the cameras and hold signs that must have words that are misspelled. their pay can be more increased if they talk into the camera's , and tripled if they so happened to have bad teeth.

It's hard to say whether Trump is a racist or just pandering to racists, and I'm not sure which is worse.

. The Tea Party does have a few African Americans show up at their rallies, but are they paid to be there, who knows?

That's complete bull@!$%# and frankly racist in itself.. I know quite a few African American's who are conservative and show up at Tea Party rallies and do speeches and very active.. and are not racist... nor paid to be there. It's sad though that they become demonized by the Left as "paid plants" or "Uncle Tom's", etc, etc. In fact.. one used to be a former Vine member along with her husband who recently ran for Congress in my state of Washington.

Oh and before anyone jumps the gun and tries to claim I'm talking out of my ass.. I'll provide you with a video of a speech she did at the Tea Party rally in Seattle not long ago. She address's in the speech that very thing. I would invite you to watch it and then give me your opinion of it. She used to on here under the Vine handle "ARightBlackVoice" and her husband as "TheCapitalist".

snicker☺

Come on Allen, the injection of racism serves only one purpose, stir-up the Dem base.

Bob has been out in left field for a long long time!

And yes I have seen Mr. Schieffer on Face the Nation.

smellit: to put it plainly, you don't know what you are talking about. Schieffer is an acknowledged Republican who hails from the south. No one who knows him or who has followed his work would see him as a lefty. But he is not a right winger either. He is indeed a straight shooter journalist respected by both sides of the aisle.

You are totally wrong!

LMAO

Agreed!

But the injection of racism is still wrong!

Schieffer went from journalist to opinionated citizen with his statement!

He is down on Mathews and Olbermans level now!

smellitcoming--

I'd like to try some interspecies communication with you.

No... no, I guess not.

Sam, I can only smell it now, I took away the sound....you should try it!

The truth is the truth.

Ryan, you just gave evidence to my point made in #5. Although it would be beyond the pale ridiculous, in these times of 24/7 news chatter, you may just be correct.

Scheiffer is so old school (and good) that any kowtowing to Trump demanded by CBS will send him to his summer home for good. He won't take an ounce of management's @!$%#.

Schieffer is toast...after all The Donald said, "I have a great relationship with the blacks"...

CBS News hasn't been doing that great, they don't need stuff like this, or do they.........

Joe,

Your side has been doing the race baiting for the last two years. As for 'token black guy', that just comes from recent history.

In the 90s, after the Oklahoma City bombing, people began to see militia groups as racist. What do they do, they bring out the black guy and put him on the news.

Last year, everybody saw the Tea Party as racist. What do they do, they bring out the black guy and put him on the news.

A couple of years ago, folks were upset at the fact that so much news was given to missing young white women and not to people of color (although they didn't mention missing white men, to be fair). What does the media do, they put out a series of news stories about missing black people.

The "Token black guy" move is typically done by conservatives to prove to the world that they're not racist. Instead of simply apologizing for creating a racist impression and changing behavior, they play the token black guy card to shut everybody up for a while, then it's business as usual.

So Charles you just see racism in every aspect of life. I rest my case.

Your case is garbage!!! I don't see racism in every aspect of life. Just the ones were racism exist.

Charles, and where racism doesn't exist [ is that possible to you] you just throw it out there anyway. Your use of the word token is a prime example. God forbid a black disagrees with the lib agenda. Who made up..Uncle Tom,Token,Oreo etc.......the Libs.

The election of Barak Obama should have put to rest the allegations that we are a racist country. Those who continually bring up race (in regards to criticism of Obama) on the Left or no different than those who bring up this "birther" nonsense on the Right.

ScienceGuy nailed it.

Sorry Allen I was being sarcastic, he kept referring to AA as the blacks and Colbert had a great piece on that.

but just because Trump said that, doesn't mean he really does.

Sure it does. Just ask him.

Some of his best... fr... um... servants are blacks.

Bob said what?

Who is Bob anyway?

That should be the final word for this seed!

"That should be the final word for this seed!"

And your as well. Nothing of value in it.

Tink Tink Tink

LMAO

Schieffer just made a racist comment....more lame tactics I see.

Sounds like 'ol Bob is the true racist in this case.

Of course...

Especially if you use the ever-popular kindergarten logic: "He who smelt it, dealt it.", right?

Would you like some dipping sauces with your billy goat, gentlemen?

Agreed...

Yeah the sour gas 'ol Bob is spewing is just more proof of the race baiting the LWN/DNC is capable of and consistently uses!

Pass the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce please!

I'll give you boys a hint...

It doesn't take much "bait"

race baiting

Race Bait? That's the favorite food of the GOP!

That's the favorite food of the GOP!

No its cat nip for Left. They are the ones screaming racism at every single thing. Not the right.

Why would a racist "scream racism"?

Your comments make less and less sense the more you go on...

You're welcomed and you're correct. Nor do many of them care to remember this country's not so distant racist past.

It's OK Micheal, you just can't call another Viner a racist. (But you can tell them that their statements seem racist). Anybody else is fair game.

You can call Donald Trump out for being the Piece of @!$%# Racist that he is (see what I did there?)

I wonder what Li'l John, LaToya, Star, and that "Real Housewives" chick have to say about "the Donald" now? Maybe they should get them on someone's talk show and find out? (It's probably a breach of contract for them to ever say anything bad about him after they've been on the show...)

I would rather be safe than suspended (I guess next I get expelled).

Besides, where else can I read some of the most imbecilic discussions from both sides of the aisle, waiting for an intelligent discussion to slowly trickle through the tubes?

From you doc "width between the shoulders". Measures about the same today.

Jerry, would you mind not spamming the same post in thread after thread after thread? I'm sure the mods would love you for it. Just saying.

carefor: I agree with everything you said except your final conclusion. I don't think that racists and bigots should be allowed to mix their toxic brew with impunity. Nor do I think that they can or will cure themselves. And I certainly don't think that black people should not react to the bigots for fear that they might "attract some of the venom that they spew." Martin Luther King said that it is always the right time to fight for the right. And nothing is more true.

I am a white atheist of Jewish heritage, so I know a thing or two about facing up to bigotry. I hope you won't see this as a white guy lecturing a black guy about white bigots. I'm just talking to you man to man and with respect. I hope I can convince you to always shine your light on the purveyors of racism. If we don't do it the people who will be most infected by their filth are their own children who will grow up to perpetuate their hate. If we call them out every time we can then time may bring a lessening of the human impulse to hate those who are different and who seem vulnerable. At least the public opprobrium may keep the racists within themselves, since they can understand when their hate speech and conduct will not be tolerated.

What you said about racists is true. But keep saying it. Bigotry is part of the human psyche, but the human intellect can keep it in check. Those "sane" people you referenced are the ones who trim their emotions and balance them with intellectual reality to guide their lives.

I don't feel it like a white guy lecturing a black guy. However Ripuree is a black woman. And I agree that all of us sane people must fight these quacks together.

Oops! I forgot my own psuedonym, on this site. I meant to say careforcaregivers is a black woman. Ripuree is the name I use on most other sites.

That is all they have so they use it over and over - Why discuss Obama's failed economic policies when you can jkust throw out the race card right?

Or if you can just bring up, let's say... a question about a birth certificate, or religious affiliation, or some school records...

Hmmm...

I'm thinking of a word.

Sounds like "schmipocrisy"

Hey Boston,

It's the DNC gearing up for the 2012 election.

Forget about the deficit, Libya, no comprehensive energy policy, failed stimulis fiasco, bad housing market, where are the jobs, Syria, ..........

Play the race card and his LWN buddies in the lame stream media will come to his adoring attention yet again.

It's not going to work this time!

wow, smellit

I think that is the most words I have ever seen you string together in a single post.

I'm impressed. But it's not as if nobody has seen your posts on here before, so I'll also have to refer you to the last two lines of #25.2

It's not going to work this time!

wanna bet?

Yeah I'll bet on it!

This reminds me of the turmoil the country was in when Carter was president.

Reagan kicked Carters a$$.

Someone will do the same to Barry!

smellit

I would love to discuss how the guy I put so much effort and money into getting elected, only to have him be true to form, a frigging left of center Republican.

Yeah, let's discuss this part of Obama.

Please let's discuss this part of Obama.

But we will only be able to discuss this part of Obama when the issue becomes performance and not place of birth or of educational attainment.

Please, let's have this dialogue. I promise I won't even bring up previous adminstrations.

Please, let's have the dialogue. Let's quiet the noise coming from your corner about his place of birth and educational attainment.

Please, let's have the dialogue.

Who the @!$%# is Barry, oh yeah the nickname racist people call Obama.

"Someone"

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Still not even a clue as to who it will be...

Gotta love the false sense of self confidence (something America is still #1 in)

John

Who the @!$%# is Barry, oh yeah the nickname racist people call Obama.

Actually, Obama used the name Barry when in high school in Hi.

Perhaps.

But he doesn't anymore. (I can only assume he did so when he was young and insecure about his "strange name" and did so to fit in with the other kids. Now that he has matured and taken ownership of his name, he no longer goes by his childhood nickname)

And the majority of those that do now, do so as a "dig" at Obama. The same way as if I were to sarcastically call you "Mikey" in an effort to make you seem less significant.

Same way the LWN's dig at Palin, Beck, Bush, Cheney,..........

Right guys?

Yeah you know it's the truth!

Your post is a fail!

How so, smelli

I never said the left doesn't take pokes at those guys, did I? I simply explained that nobody calls him "Barry" anymore except for those that are casting aspersions. It's generally accepted as very rude to refer to someone in such a familiar way when you are not actually familiar enough to do so.

(I actually don't consider the "Barry" namecalling racist, the only "name" I've heard him called that I find racially offensive is when he is referred to as "Obammy". "Barry", "Odumbo", "Obummer" I really don't find racist, just sophomoric and childish)

It's most definitely a jab at Limbaugh when I call him Rushie... as intended. I'm not above taking a poke at someone I don't like.

It's EXTREMELY obvious that you aren't either, since that's basically ALL YOU DO here on the Vine...

FYI, MOST of your posts are "FAILS"

Keep up the .... work.

So what is your point?

LMMFAO

FYI, MOST of your posts are "FAILS"

See what I mean?

Don't you people, so you're not above taking a poke at people you don't like but it's off limits for others unless you somehow agree. In the campaign you couldn't mention Obama's middle name Hussein,but after the inauguration it was just fine. Why was that?

What planet were you on during the 2008 campaign, rightwing nutjobs loved saying his entire name repeatedly Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama. Does that bring back memories.

Where did I say it was off-limits?

show me.
