Lurita Doan Commentary: Do Democrats Own The Terms 'Racism' and 'Lying'?

Asks Lurita Doan, a GOP conservative pundit: "Republicans seem afraid to say that Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States, seems to be a racist and a liar whose clumsy, inexperienced efforts at leadership have put our nation’s economy and our citizens’ safety in jeopardy and has proven incompetent and unfit for office. Meanwhile, Democrats seem quite comfortable throwing labels of 'racism' and 'lying' about freely when they attack Republicans, comfortable in the knowledge that no Republican dare do the same. With full support and acquiescence from a compromised media that long ago lost its objectivity, charges of 'racism' and 'lying' have morphed into an Orwellian fog, becoming purely political terms to browbeat Republicans, allowing Democrat leaders to dodge the discussion of tough issues."

More commentary from Ms. Doan: "But if a president’s policies are bad, if they fail to achieve their objectives (such as Cash for Clunkers, Cash for Caulkers, green energy investment initiatives, the 'summer of recovery' or the Stimulus) is it really 'racist' to criticize the policy or to think that the American people deserve better — even if the policy is advocated by a Black man? Is it 'racist' to criticize the president because he has failed to submit a viable budget to congress for the past four years, or just incompetence on the part of the president?"

She ain't done yet: "The president also seems to be a liar. According to Webster, a liar is 'a person who tells lies', who deliberately 'makes an untrue statement with the intent to deceive; to create a false or misleading impression.' Isn’t that exactly what Obama has done when he says: he didn’t really know or hear the Rev. Jeremiah Wright preach anti-American sentiments, or when he writes about events that are patently untrue in his autobiography, Dreams of My Father, or when Obama deliberately tells lies about Romney and Bain Capital, or when Obama deliberately lies about the debt ceiling, or when Obama tries to claim the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya was not terrorism?"
