Sam Donaldson: Many on Right 'Like Limbaugh' Oppose Obama 'Not for His Policies' But Because He's Black
The mainstream media's response to Barack Obama being interrupted by a Daily Caller reporter during a Rose Garden press conference Friday is getting more preposterous with each passing second.
ABC's former White House correspondent Sam Donaldson told the Huffington Post Saturday, "Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American!"
As a little backround, Caller editor Tucker Carlson said in response to the controversy surrounding Neil Munro's aggressive questionning:
I don’t remember Diane Sawyer scolding her colleague Sam Donaldson for heckling President Reagan. And she shouldn’t have. A reporter’s job is to ask questions and get answers. Our job is to find out what the federal government is up to. Politicians often don’t want to tell us. A good reporter gets the story. We’re proud of Neil Munro.
Donaldson communicated with the Post via email Saturday, and responded:
Never once did I interrupt a president in any way while he was making a formal statement, a speech, honoring awardees or in any other way holding the floor. Yes, almost always when he was finished in the Rose Garden or in the Briefing Room or at a photo opportunity with other world leaders I tried to question him (only rarely was it a shout on the rope line, more often a more normal tone of voice) and other reporters of course did the same thing along with me.
What this man did yesterday is something new, to me wrong and unusual. I think it is probably the result of the growing incivility of the times, the competition among reporters and news organizations to be noticed not only for the work product but for the theatrics of the gathering…and there is one more factor, let’s face it: Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American! These people and perhaps even certain news organizations (certainly the right wing talkers like Limbaugh) encourage disrespect for this president. That is both regrettable and adds, in this case, to the general dislike of the press on the part of the general public.
For Tucker Carlson to say that he would if he can give this man a raise for this rude attempt to interrupt the president is reflective of what I’ve said above and, to me, lowers my opinion of Tucker.
One quite imagines if Ronald Reagan were alive, he mightn't agree with Donaldson's recollection of his behavior as a White House correspondent. I'm sure many of those old enough recall some extremely contentious exchanges between Donaldson and Reagan back then.
As NewsBusters reported hours ago, the Associated Press in 1987 actually wrote about "grown men and women...shouting at President Reagan at the top of their lungs."
Hard to believe Donaldson wasn't a part of it.
As for his tossing of the race card, I'm personally quite disappointed in him. I expect such nonsense from the shills at MSNBC and Politico, but Donaldson should know better.
He's been around long enough to know that both sides are quite hostile in attacks on their opponents, and something like race rarely enters into the equation in this day and age.
There's nothing different about what the Right said about former President Bill Clinton than what they're currently saying about Obama.
One could actually make the case that Limbaugh has mellowed a bit with age, and that he was much more aggressive with his criticisms of Clinton. At the very least, he was no softer on that President and his administration than this one.
And no matter what we've seen from conservative talkers and the Tea Party with regard to Obama, it doesn't come close to the virulence we witnessed aimed at George W. Bush from the Left.
I don't recall conservatives saying those attacks were racially based. Do you?
As such, unless Donaldson at the ripe age of 78 is beginning to experience a loss of long-term memory, he might want to rethink his comments about Munro's behavior Friday and how it compares to the past.
As odd as it may seem, he should learn from MSNBC contributor Julian Epstein who asked Friday, "Would the rightwing be doing this if we had a white president?"
Donaldson and all those offended by what happened in the Rose Garden Friday should ask themselves if they'd be as disgusted if Munro were a liberal reporter and Obama a white Republican they didn't support.
It seems a metaphysical certitude there'd be far less handwringing about this, including from ABC's former White House correspondent.

I'm getting so tired of this. How many times are they going to use this?
Are there still prejudiced people in this world? Yes. But was Obama elected President? Yes. Figure it out!
What is NOT to understand about people upset about Obama's radical views? What is NOT to understand about those of us who see how he wants to "transform" America and are mad as heck at what he's doing?! I know, it's just a smoke screen (the race card), but it has become so stupid that I can hardly stand to see one more person using this tactic. Like so many have said here, I don't care what the color of Obama's skin is. It is irrelevant to me! And how does the media explain conservatives who loved Herman Cain? Justice Thomas? Or the support for any of another skin color who HOLD THEIR VIEWS OF UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION AND CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES? The MSM and pundits can't have it both ways. It makes no sense.
I am being completely serious here when I say that I forget Obama is black. It is not on my radar. When I see him or think of him, I think of his views and what he's doing. And just the other day, when reading an article about Holder, and again, the race card was played, I thought: "Oh yeah. Holder's black." It was not something I even thought about. I do not think of Holder as black. I think of him as a corrupt guy who has left a trail of misdoings.

I too have thought they nominated Obama to then use his skin color to try to squash the opposition to his policies they knew would be coming, since they knew they couldn't argue them on their merits.
It seems they are usually ahead of us in their schemes. They are lying so far ahead of the times and we have yet to fully grasp that and develop the ability to deflect it in ways they might understand.
This whole race crap is easily dismissed by honest people on the basis of how much criticism we have levelled against Presidents Carter and Clinton as well as all of the other white liberal politicians over the years. But since liberals are so allergic to truth and reality, that just blasts right by them.

This really needs to be turned around on people using the race card.

"Why do you automatically assume it has to be about race?"
"Why are you so consumed with a person's race?"
Really, who is it that is race-stuck when a person puts so much emphasis on race? Can't you let that other person be themselves based on who they are and what they believe without lowering them to merely skin color? Aren't you then subtly insinuating another race is superior by even suggesting it's about skin color, when there are logical reasons/ideas/opinions/beliefs as to why there are people who oppose O?
I say unto them: it is either a tactic, or you are unhealthfully stuck on race, bordering on being that of which you are accusing others.

Oops, I forgot that Rush has had many good comments about these people. Well, maybe he only doesn't like black liberals who spend money on all sorts of stupid things. But, as I remember, he had many of the same things to say about Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. So, I guess that they are black also.

The guy has never lived in any inner city or ghetto or farm or worked in any factory or blue-collar job like any responsible 'black' person has done. He's been a spoiled and pampered and 'never-been-told-'no' petulant little punk his whole life - and he's STILL like that!!!
But he has been using that 'black' side - quite effectivly, I might add, to mask and disguise all of the communist and Marxist and anti-American brainwashing that he has learned - along with a large helping of 'racist victimology and hate propoganda', as well as a pretty substantial portion of Islam, which isn't the most forgiving or tolerant mindset on this planet, to say the least!!!

Actually I'm surprised and disappointed I thought Donaldson had more integrity that this, I can't imagine why I thought this. I never agreed with him all these years but I thought he was honest. I haven't heard much from him lately I don't recall anything that controversial. This is in lock step with the whole racist theme the democrats hav ebeen trying to pitch, Idon't anyone with more that two brain cells is buying it. Anyway the point is my opinions have changed over the last several years about this so called left. There was a time I really believed however misguided they were, that they really had integrity, some idea of right, wrong and fair play. I now know that isn't true they are frightening and absolutely rotten to the core. They hate and they are at war with America and all's fair in war.
There are people good people who mean well but for whatever reason they get taken in. They're not really part of this hard left movement they think they are. I think if they really knew who these people were they'd be repelled. Anyway they donate a lot of money and time. They usually fall in one or more of the following catagories, they're lazy, not very bright, short attention spans and facts don't seem to matter much to them, this more than anything else disturbs me, If they're a sleep maybe they'll wake up.
Getting back to Donaldson, he may be a rotten traitor a true lefty or he may just be senile, I hope it's the latter for his sake. I guess I'm just trying to go through some thought process to understand or rationalize why Donaldson would make such obvioiusly dishonest statements.

Donaldson's comments are so idiotic that one wonders if he truly believes them himself or if he is simply playing to the audience. After all, one of the main reasons liberals like Donaldson like to call others racist is because that action proves that they themselves aren't racist; this is Psychology 101 stuff really. Whatever I claim that you are can't possibly be what I am. His comments are so inane on so many levels that it is barely worth a nod. Limbaugh has been criticizing liberals on the air for a couple of decades now--all liberals, from both Clintons to Al Gore to others. He has also criticized and made fun of liberal Republicans--white liberal Republicans quite often. Suddenly, however, he is racist because he is critical of a black liberal Democrat. Hilarious. As I said, Donaldson cannot possibly be this stupid. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in believing he is simply trying to make himself feel better.

Sam, ol' boy, only God can judge Rush's motives, your motives, or anyone else's. That being said, I think there's a pretty good chance that the biggest reason Obama is president is because minorities and guilt-ridden white liberals jumped at the chance to put a minority president in the White House. And the drive-by media thwarted the efforts of average citizens to find out anything about Obama beyond the superficial. All that mattered was that America would atone for its institutional racism by electing a black man. We didn't respect African Americans enough to choose a qualified black candidate. We voted for an image.

Yes. Rush has a problem with Obama because he's black. Right. Sure.

Fabricate racism where none is evident. Scare tactics are all the Left has. Their policies and their candidates are failures, but they scare people with threats of all sorts of terrible things and millions of sheeple will believe, because the MSM tells them it's so.

It is terrible for liberals to know that nobody even cares anymore about race. I can ask any of my adult childrens friends, white, black,or muslim, if they think any of the attacks on Obama are racist, and they say no. It never even occurs to them. They just wish it was over, he was out of office, and they could get a better job. The youth vote is gone for Obama. When Mom or Dad gets laid off or they lose the house.....there is no going back.

Apparently Obama's latest illegal move is too indefensible for the media so they are all playing the race card. Sad.

Who convinced the US public that Watergate was a major scandal, that Viet Nam was evil and lost. Think about this when you read a "history" book. These are also the guys considered "reliable sources" by Wikipedia.
Herman Cain!
Submitted by Arlen Cooper on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:42am.
Sam, why do we like Herman Cain so much? His skin tone is much darker. We (dittohead conservatives), know the difference between good Christian valued leadership & a marxist, hubrist, non-American posing as an American. Obama is what he is & you libs, Sammy boy, love his policies. Go figure! Ya'll use race as an excuse for people disliking Obama without considering our opposition to his liberal policies. You damnable dumb-ass!

Do me a favor, Sam, and stop projecting your racism onto everyone else.

Hitler's Minister of Proganda Goebbels famously said if you state a lie often enough then people will start to believe it. Perhaps that is what Donaldson and others are counting on when they say that people oppose Obama because he is African-American.

I felt the same way about Jimmy Carter when he was President. Incompetence is incompetence. Color has nothing to do with it. Color is just another way for the libs to classify people who do not agree with them. Sam needs to wake up and talk to Americans instead of his progressive crowd. That, of course, will never happen.
Let's turn it around!

Sam Donaldson: King of Boors
Submitted by Mary Louise Turner on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 9:27am.
If Budweiser is the "King of Beers", then Sam Donaldson is the "King of Boors". This loudmouth bully could get away with murder in the Reagan years simply because he asked "tough" questions. In truth, he was just showing how much of a jerk he really was - and still is. Mr. Donaldson, Dan Rather, Chris Matthews and Barbara Walters all should be sent far, far away to an island for washed-up egotistical journalists.
