165 POST A COMMENT

What's important about the NPR excerpt below, which broadcast this morning, is that this is everything NPR's Cokie Roberts has to say about Romney's motives for going to Poland. This is the entirety of it. You can listen for yourself here (http://www.npr.org/2012/07/30/157580706/week-in-politicsromney-headed-to-poland), but when Roberts was asked why Poland, the sole motive Roberts came up with is a racial one.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your tax dollars at work: LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST: So today is Poland. Why is he stopping in Poland. What does he hope to accomplish with that? Cokie Roberts: Well, I think part of it was a desire to portray President Obama as something of a wimp, and say he's abandoned Eastern Europe. But look, you remember well the Reagan Democrats. Those ethnic white voters who had been Democrats for many years; turned out for Ronald Reagan, and have been fairly predictable Republicans since then. Now it's a smaller percentage of the population -- of the voting population -- than it used to be, but white voters are still much more Republican than any other group in the electorate. They went for McCain in 2008 by 55%. And I think that getting those ethnic voters excited is really what Romney has in mind here. It's more for the folks at home -- the descendents of the people that he will be speaking to -- in Poland. As you can see, according to Roberts, Romney didn't go to Poland to gain some foreign policy experience or to prepare himself to be president or to help differentiate between his values and those of our current president. No, it was all some dark, divisive, cynical, racial

NPR's Cokie Roberts: Romney Poland Trip Racially Motivated

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/07/30/Cokie-Roberts-N...

plan to suck up to us rural white bitter-clingers. Yep, Romney went to Poland to blow a big racial dog-whistle. This is pure McCarthyism on Roberts's part. Nothing more, nothing less. When you use the word McCarthyism as a pejorative, as leftists like Roberts love to do, it means ascribing the very worst motives to someone without a shred of evidence. The idea is disqualify, delegitimize, toxify, and attempt to silence this person by hurling a vicious accusation even though you have absolutely no proof to back it up. As we've seen for the last four years, when it comes to protecting Barack Obama, this is all the media does. No matter what it is, if it might in any way hurt Obama, the left-wing media screams racist. For example, today we have the presumptive GOP nominee wrapping up a successful international trip that's ended with a lot of positive media coverage, but that might hurt Obama. So ..RACISM! During the 2008 election, this was the left's playbook, and now we're starting to see this desperate McCarthyism return. Last week (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism /2012/07/21/Dana-Milbank-McCarthyism), it was the Washington Post's Dana Milbank. Now it's Cokie Roberts. Roberts has always been very good at spouting the most outlandish stuff and doing so while sounding perfectly reasonable and matter-of-fact. But dont listen to her tone; read the words. It's pure McCarthyism -- a deliberate attempt to throw a racial cloud over Romney and his campaign without a shred of evidence. But the only one truly blowing a racial dog-whistle here is Roberts -- and she's doing so while disguised as an objective journalist and with our tax dollars.

She's talking about Polish Americans - you know...those ethnic white voters, many of whom live here in the Milwaukee and Chicago area. Yes, having a presidential candidate visit Poland would endear him to many of my fellow Polish Americans. Much like a candidate visiting Ireland would endear him to some Irish-Americans. And you warp that into racial dog-whistles and McCarthyism while complaining about the bias and partisanship of the corrupt liberal media. Hilarious.

Wow, such hyperbole on this site! The charges of racism and McCarthyism I find overblown (and kinda weird actually). This trip was not such a big deal. Romney was just beefing up his foreign affairs credentials visiting safe American allies, and shoring up constituencies in swing states. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing out of the ordinary. What's the big deal? He doesn't have much foreign affairs experience, but neither did Obama before last election. Of course Romney won't expect to have 200,000 cheering Berliners, like Obama. We know that. Romney knows that. Yeah, he made some gaffes, but they will all be forgotten by next week. Oh, and Cokie is actually a very good commentator. The challenge for Romney is how to convey he will succeed on being president on a global stage. He has more work to do on that score. And that's what this site commentary should focus on, methinks.

Wow, lots of hyperbole in the commentary on this site. Not sure that such strident charges of McCarthyism and racism are in order (geez, and with capitals, really?). Romney just visiting safe ally type countries hoping to shore up constituencies in swing states, and he also needs to beef up his foreign policy credentials, since he didn't have much. Neither did Obama when he ran, but Obama had 200,000 people in Berlin come out to see him when was a candidate, which Romney did not expect/attempt to match on his trip. All understandable. Nothing nefarious about any of this and don't see much to fault Cokie either. She's actually a very good commentator. Frankly, it was all very benign. Yeah, the trip was all motivated towards getting elected, no big foreign policy pronouncements, that wasn't in the cards. Romney made some minor gaffes, but they were minor. And all this will be all fogetten in a week.

I guess Cokie Roberts hopes everyone forgets obama "reneging" on the MISSLE SHIELDS that were promised to these countries - by President Bush - for their loyalty as ALLIES to The United States of America that was intended for The USA to help "protect" them. Without any notice - or communication, resident Obama halted the Plans - for the Missle Shields - and SNUBBED these countries. Just like Obama halted the building of the Border Fence - without notice - and had stopped raids on Illegal Aliens - by ATF, INS, ICE, DEA - as soon as he was inaugurated and under the radar stopped the Military Tribunals that were already underway at GITMO - (when Obama hi-jacked the WH) - w the Radical Muslim Terrorists pleading guilty only for Holder as US AG - eight months later to complain about the long delays in bringing these prisoners to trial when in fact Holder as a defense attorney had represented 16 GITMO prisoners - and was responsible for the extremely long delays in bringing GITMO prisoners to trial. * Americans not knowing about Obama's Operation Fast and Furious - whn ARMING a FOREIGN INVASION - for the cause of the EXTREME VIOLENCE - until a WHISTLEBLOWER reported - weapons from Operation

since the Obama campaign has a front organization sending out over FIVE MILLION Voter Registrations - in the names of DEAD - FAMILY - PETS!!!) Desperate Liberal Democrats Recruiting Dead Dogs to Vote for Obama http://www.canadafreepress.com... a former attorney and political leader turned nationally syndicated talk-show host, Roger Hedgecock, who is a strong supporter of the military, founded Homefront San Diego" which assists thousands of military families in acquiring needed items, and has authored an exclusive article titled, "Dead dogs for Obama." As the title suggests, the writing is about voter fraud and how this issue just might decide the outcome of the coming national elections in November. The complete article with more fraud examples, published July 14, 2012, can be seen at UTSanDiego.com. One of his first examples of the frauds that might be expected in the coming weeks and months at polling stations near you, was perpetrated In Seattle, Wash, when just last month, Brenda Charlston received a voter registration form in the mail from the Voter Participation Center with all the blanks filled in for "Rosie Charlston." That was the name of her black Labrador who died in 1998. Hedgecock continues, "The Obama supporting center says it had mailed some 5 million forms using commercially available databases to target Democratic-leaning groups such as unmarried women. What did they use in the Brenda/Rosie mailing? The dead dog mailing list?" My guess is that the Obama supporting center wouldnt care where the databases were originated or from whom and where they originated. After all, to them, a vote is just one step closer to the reelection of the already questionably legality of the current incumbent. And who can quibble when liberals state that fraud cases are so very rare. But one does have to ponder why Obamas supporters would mail FIVE MILLION forms out if the frauds were infrequent happenings. Are they? In "Dead dogs for Obama" Roger Hedgecock also cites the instance that in June of this year "in Buford County, Va., Tim Morris received a filled-out voter registration form for "Mozart Morris" addressed to "Mo," his dog that passed away two years before. Again, the form came in the mail from the Voter Participation Center", the same sending organization address that provided a form for "Rosie Charlston" cited above. Coincidence, or flat out illegal attempt to commit a fraudulent vote for Obama? You be the judge.

I think I first became aware of "Cookie" Roberts around 1990. I call her "Cookie" since I've never taken her seriously, having all the intellectual capacity of a piece of cooked dough. I would call her a faux intellectual, or better yet, faux-naif, someone who pretends to be ingenious. Next to Sam Donaldson, on no one's list of intellectuals, she falls short, which is quite an accomplishment. The only reason she's on TV is she is very good at pretending to be smart. Great bug-eyed gravitas. Must be her Wellesley training, the same college from which H. Clinton matriculated. Cookie is always, and in all ways, to be dismissed out of hand no matter what the topic. A lightweight. The nicest thing that can be said about Cookie is she is insufferably self-important. All hat, no cattle. A pseudo-intellectual. Just plain dumb.

A lot of Jews probably do not like the Poles because I know the Germans ran the death camps but the Poles turned on the Jews hard also. So there may be racial politics involved at least on the Democratic side. And for those liberals spouting vile on Yahoo's board, I thought about those Polish American voters that Cokie Roberts mentioned, how do they feel when Lech is hated by the Obama voters? Romney I'm sure didn't go there for racial reasons but I hope the Polish American voters look at the racial hatred they are now getting from the left and know that they are not loved there.

Republican. You would think a party (Democrats) which basically tells Whites that they have a long term goal of disadvantaging Whites relative to all other racial groups would have few if any White voters, but I guess the desire to be told that "you aren't like those others" and the desire to feel morally superior out weigh common sense.

She is nothing but a withered, old runt (or something that rythmes with it)

As usual, the racism in the Western world is WAY overstated and the racism in the Third world is left unchecked. How about Sudan or Turkey, you deluded morons at NPR?

More "blather" from Cokie the liar, the result of nepotism from her liberal parents (Boggs) that made careers out of duping the poor as does the current administration. Cokie fits right in and we pay part of her salary.

Face it, folks -- they're on to us. They've "outed" us on our all-consuming desire to see everything through the lens of race, and our dark secret is now made public. Was it racist of me to use the term "dark secret"? Probably -- but what can you expect from a racist (which I now know that I am, thanks to people like Cokie Roberts)? We would have gotten away with it, too, were it not for those truth-seeking objective journalists . . . all is lost. Curses -- foiled again! Wait -- we have but one hope. It's pretty lame, but I've seen it work before. We can say we were "born this way" . . . then they have to tolerate us. Score!

No, nothing WIMPY about this administration not only, removing the missile defence which ensured their protection from Russia, but notifying them BY PHONE of the cancellation on the eve of the anniversary of its beginning. Nothing WIMPY about bowing to Russia with this gift and backing away with no commitment in return.

Is it "Cokie Roberts" or "Kookie Roberts"....Obama is the most racially dividing president that has ever held the office of POTUS....

When I read this crap that all these people have hidden from view for decades I'm sickened. These two faced elitists are as unAmerican as one can get and yet they owe their entire livelihoods to those who would have jettisoned their worthless hides over the fantail of a garbage scow. They have no gratitude at all. They deserve to live out their days as paupers.

Re the linked article on WaPo's Dana Milbank, I would like to add that "some" on The Hill, "experts" among the all-intelligent and truth-revering members of academia, and various liberal "sources" have told me that Milbank and Martin Bashir were again seen at Romney rallies, screaming, "Kill him! Kill Gordon Gecko! Death to the Gaffe-making Wimp! If he's not a eunuch now, we'll @#&**# make him one!"

So far, neither the FBI nor the Secret Service have debunked these reports.

Obama is the creapiest son of a b**** who has ever been president. Even more so than Woodhead Wilson. Some of this stuff that the left is pointing out, with of course Obama's encouragement, is really really sick. I mean sick in the head stuff. Crazy monomania kind of stuff. Stuff that people like Castro or Chavez would spout before they pulled the trigger. Where does the left come up with these kind of monsters from? They seem to have them stockpiled in their garages just waiting for the right cue to bring them out.

You're right, and we want to tell you, it is hot, boring, cramped and uncomfortable! And boy, are we sick of Taco Bell Cusine. But we guess it beats earning a living until the lawsuits pay off, and it at least gives us the promise of ten minutes or so to bask in non-obscurity and psuedo relevancy.

Thanks for thinking of us!

Sincerely,

Roberts is a throwback to when the MSM controlled the progressive narrative. She is no longer relevant. I would love to a fly on the wall at one of her progressive cocktail parties!!!!
