…Because, Of Course, Black People Really Don’t Matter
Rethug talking butthole Bryon (oops, it’s Byron, like the Lord) York says that Obama’s high job approval ratings are deceptively high b/c, well, let’s just let the Duke of York provide his own steel-trap logic:
On his 100th day in office, Barack Obama enjoys high job approval ratings, no matter what poll you consult. But if a new survey by the New York Times is accurate, the president and some of his policies are significantly less popular with white Americans than with black Americans, and his sky-high ratings among African-Americans make some of his positions appear a bit more popular overall than they actually are.
You see, black support should be downgraded on a curve. It shouldn’t count as much as white support b/c, ‘bulo guesses, whites are more…important? More…American? More…likely to read his crap? More…like the Lord of the Manor himself?
Anyway, John Amato and his merry band of deconstructionists over at ‘Crooks and Liars’ give York the verbal flogging he deserves. Read it and just remember: The Republican Party truly is dominated by certifiable loonies.

Thanks for highlighting this one, ‘bulo. One of the most irritating things during the primary/election season was all the talk of “black voters” like they were some kind of exotic species.
I guess York is following the Ann Coulter logic – if women and African-Americans couldn’t vote, everything would be hunky-dory.
This is part of Dave and Tom’s master plan to bring back the GOP.
“Danger Sign For D’s? Why Can’t they Attract Racists and Homophobes?”
Pat Buchanan, your thoughts…
Poor Angry OLD White Men, they just don’t get it, but their going to do their best to destroy their party before they go to the elephant grave yard.
So… his approval ratings are high because a minority likes him and the majority doesn’t? I’d like to see his math on that one.
Breathtakingly stupid and insulting.
black support should count for 3/5’s in my opinion.
