Tennessee Mayor Accuses Barack Obama Of Hating On Charlie Brown, Peanuts

Seein’ as slaves, Indians and women couldn’t own property 200+ years ago, he’s making his feelings, intellect, and morality quite clear…
.
Thanks for posting, Michael.
.
Cue defense of Mayor Wiseman (ha!) in 3…2…1…

He didn’t accuse Obama of hating on Charlie Brown. Unless there is some text missing. He seems to have really wanted to watch Charlie Brown with his kids. Finally, he is the mayor of a town of about 2,500 people. I don’t see why we should care what the man says on his facebook page. Unless of course the media is going to elevate him to VP status for the Palin/Wiseman ticket in 2012.

I give you today’s Worst Person in the…well, you know.

Hey, if only our forefathers got that 40 acres and a mule we were PROMISED…things would be different!

Maybe Wiseman (how doubly ironic given the season!) wouldn’t have a big-*** football stadium and baseball field in his city. Are his 1600 friends hood-wearers?

Did Lucy swipe BO from him at the last minute when the mayor was ready to kick him in the butt?

Does this mayor believe Linus’ blanket is the Shroud of Turin? Or that the tiny scrawny Christmas tree is the Burning Bush? Has he forgotten that Islam and Christianity share the same God? Michael, if he has, can you have Amy can go down there to interview him, lecture him on proper religious stuff, and whack him in the face with a riding crop or something?

Perhaps, MS, you should be dealing with things like this, rather than silly comments from a very small town mayor.
.
By the way, speaking of silly comments from big city mayors—Ray Nagin (of flooded buses fame) decided to defend the giving of city contracts to convicted white collar criminals.

… or a 2X4 or something?

Or MS could talk about the latest revelations about Kevin Jennings.

Wow. You really elect persons like that!

…and Sarah Palin too.

I suppose the Time trolls like spob and textter will claim this doesn’t have anything to do with racism.

Facebook Politics. Sounds like another cause Sarah Palin will be taking up. “There are legitimate questions there, & people have a right to know why the President disrespected Snoopy, our best defense against the Red Baron.”

The Constant Weader at http://www.RealityChex.com

Or, “why does Obama constantly place America’s morals in jeopardy when he pals around with that lesbian couple Peppermint Patty and Marcie?”

Oh jeez, I was thinking Arlington, TEXAS. I feel like Emily Litella now.

But the hood-wearing comment is still apropros.

MS: I am beginning to wonder whether you are a serious journalist or one that wants to tease us. Frankly you recent posts are in line with B grade movies. And you are a White House Reporter. Are you seriously under employed? Or do you have to post a certain amount of piffle?

What is so wrong about pointing out stupidity?

Does this help the ironically named Wiseman or hurt him?

Bachmann only helps her cause when she speaks.

He would give the ticket some balance, what with Palin’s Wasilla-style big-city sophistication.

“Bachmann only hooks her claws when she speaks.”

Fixed it for you.

Race mixing is communism.

The South is mad that we made them desegregate, and now they’re mad that they’re going to get better health care.

“Y’all don’t know what it’s like/bein’ male middle-class and white.”

Pity the poor white male in this diverse society.

I find it helpful to be reminded occasionally that this country has a substantial population of ignorant, hateful MFs — this hillbilly is the Republican party’s base.

Thanks for that.

The most ridiculous thing is that this is a story at all. And I don’t mean the Mayor’s remarks even. I mean the fact that Obama’s speech bumped the special. Freakin’ Drudge and Beck made deals about it before these transparently racist remarks, and they weren’t exactly alone either.

I mean….Democrats and liberals are mad because Obama is putting more troops into something that looks like an obvious boondoggle (even with promises to start troop drawdown finally next summer). Wingers and Conservative pundits get mad because Obama is plotting to undermine America and Christmas by forcing Charlie Brown to be bumped a week ahead.

What the hell, people. Where is our sanity in the public discourse?

How is the weather in Tennessee, spob? Do you wear your mayoral chain to bed every night?

He’s kind of a cross between Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin.

I bet he’ll be on an RNC-sponsored bus tour soon.

The question is, will a major newsmagazine put him in on the cover in a pair of tight, red shorts?

I wouldn’t defend him, he’s obviously an idiot. I do find it pretty amusing though that someone who works for a nationally published magazine has nothing better to do than point out the fact that he’s an idiot.
.
Why don’t you guys go fact-check some of our lying politicians instead of wasting time on this? You’ll find plenty of them on both sides of the aisle. Or do you really think that covering this type of stuff is worthy of the forth estate?
.
Thanks for living up to Murrow’s legacy guys!

Ray Nagin is, was and always will be a joke. spob, did you know that Nagin was a Republican who switched parties just so he could for mayor as a Democrat? No wonder he’s such a big supporter of white collar crime!

spob, “revelations” do not come from Michelle Malkin. As usual, she either ignored the facts or was ignorant of them. Her inane rantings have already been debunked.

Some are even tenured college professors.

Probably won’t see this story here

Way to make Tennessee proud! (NOT) Everybody on the planet knows that if you don’t want something to get around…dont publish it on the internet! Yes, our president is african american and yes, our president is muslim. BIG FRICKIN DEAL! He’s still the president of the United States of America and should be respected as such. Sorry you missed the Charlie Brown Christmas Special?

I see that Michael fell behind on his blog quota.

“A mountainous region full of ignorant people who think they live in the twelfth century” – Fox News.

Uh, who were they talking about exactly?

kbang: “Cue defense of Mayor Wiseman (ha!) in 3…2…1…”

Shakrai: ” I wouldn’t defend him, he’s obviously an idiot. I do find it pretty amusing though that someone who works for a … “

Mh. Are you studying Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar this quarter?

His sister/wife won’t be able to show her face at the hog callin’ contest again.

If it had been Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, we’d be looking at a hostage situation on CNN.

He could just sell one of his oxys and buy the damned dvd.

I don’t know that Obama hates Charlie Brown, but the clueless socialist certainly hates the United States of America.

Wow!
Some people on here are actually talking about why this is newsworthy and why time was spent reporting a story from such a small town. This man, a public leader is a racist plain and simple. Whether a racist is in a position of power as a mayor of a small town, or as the president of the United States good comes for these people to be publicly exposed. Public shaming and punishment is a small price to pay for those who still harbor the view that one race is superior to another. This is an; outdated, ignorant, self serving, dividing, and ultimately self defeating view.
So in my opinion, a reminder to all that this kind of thinking is laughably embarrassing, and can get you fired or in trouble too is ALWAYS a good and worthy story.

I don’t know, textee. I don’t think Obama’s hatred of either Chuck Brown or the USA could measure up to your hatred of Obama.

Multimillionaire Attorney Eric C. Conn Now Dating Obama Girl. barack you are dumped.

Mr. Wiseman sounds suspiciously close to a Mr. Rusty T. Dog who posts on these very blogs.

You expect SANITY in American government or politics? It’s always been patently abusive toward the American people in general, and supportive if not downright obliging toward those in power.
.
The left boo-hoo’s about Bush, the right boo-hoos about Obama. Frankly, I’m tired of both sides and wish they’d either wean themselves off of the two party system by moving toward the middle or both be silenced forever by a refusal on the part of the American public to play the two party system anymore.
.
Frankly, I’d opt for the latter.
.
Someone with a history of middle-of-the-road politics will win the next presidential election. It would be NICE if we could start the process by getting rid of everyone up for election NOW and replacing them with people who eschew ultra-extremist views of either side.
.
Karl Rove didn’t start the us versus them mentality we have in American Politics today. What he did was raise it to a toxic level. It’s high time Americans did away with extremism and opted, instead for middle of the road sanity. But while the RNC and DNC control the country, it won’t happen anytime soon.

Hear hear 14.1

“Why don’t you guys go fact-check some of our lying politicians instead of wasting time on this? You’ll find plenty of them on both sides of the aisle.”

.
You mean report on the fact that “Global Warming” IS a complete LIE?
.or
ACORN so far as the lame stream Media is concerned is nothing more than a blip on the political radar concerning the out of control corruption and illegal political tactics they use?
.or
Obama really doesn’t have a clue on how to manage the Government, takes over 3 months to make a decision to send in troops to Afghanistan, and then only sends in less than half of our troops that were originally requested?
.or
Democrats in Congress are attempting to pass sweeping legislation for Health Care that is NOT reform, does not do anything what-so-ever to control costs, but only drives up the premiums of existing insurance and sets into motion the largest entitlement program in American history?
.or
The biggest failure to date is Obama’s failure at job’s creation. How Obama focuses on everything else that is a far left liberal concern, and fiddles away while Rome burns?
.
No, the lame stream Media would rather take on an Enquirer-like story, a STAR Magazine article about a little known mayor in some rural town in Tennesee. Why you ask? It is the new Democrat Party strategy these days. When someone questions the great and powerful “Oz”, he or she is simply a “racist”. You only need to read the trite little comments from the peanut gallery here at Swampland as proof.
.
The LITTLE left wingnuts shouting out “RACIST!!!”, “RACIST!!!”, when there is absolutely no evidence of it what-so-ever.

No, I would have went further Cliff. I would have declared Obama is a BLACK MUSLIM in the same faith, values and beliefs as the Rev Louis Farrakhan. The same as Rev Jeremiah Wright. You know Cliff, the same preacher that Obama sat idly by for over 20 years listening to sermons spewing out such garbage as “GOD DAMN AMERICA”.

Or, did you forget so soon?

Speaking of sounding suspiciously like the Physician…

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2009/12/fish_stories_more_risky_via_email.php#more?ref=fpblg

This mayor is just following the plan laid out in the new GOP re-branding strategy:

http://bit.ly/fxv3G

(satire)

He’s not the only one who deserves blame, spob.
.
Chertoff himself, as well as Rove, smeared the victims in a vitriol-filled campaign engineered by Rove.
.
And, as a matter of fact, Bush’s inaction is a worldwide source of embarrassment to our country. Compare it with the response to the Indonesia earthquake the following year which a US response 12,000 from home took two days, while I, myself, an average American, found out about the flooding in NOLA less than two hours, beating President Bush by fully 100 – something hours.
.
I wouldn’t disrepresent the Katrina situation, spob.
.
Instead, go to http://www.levees.org for accurate information on the Katrina debacle.
.
In addition, the reason we have a diaspora still numbering more than 100,000, is because Bush immediately (wll, not “immediately”, see above) declared an “economic zone” around NOLA in the days following in which wages did not have to meet minimum wage standards (go to SourceWatch for an enormous body of information on this, and the aftermath).
.
Immegrants flooded to NOLA, preventing any of the diaspora from returning, as they took most of the rebuilding jobs available. In addition, the revocation of the economic zone that December did nothing to help. Instead, the immegrants continued to hang onto those jobs as they now had experience – and state-standard wages.
.
This is fundamentally the reason why the diaspora cannot return.

Rusty must feel pretty good about the fact that memory fades with time.
.
I’m not going to bother a whole lot with either this comment or the one he posted at 1.3 other than to inform new commenters that Rusty has had more than one “Sleeping White Giant” moments here.
.
It’s a bit like calling the kettle, um, well, black. Ain’t it, Rusty?

And no swampland post on Baucus:

http://www.billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_3d7f02de-e164-11de-b6c2-001cc4c002e0.html

The Spittle and Froth crowd is just looking for stuff to get on Obama about.
.
Now that the employment figures have finally started to react, they are looking at a gloomy future unless they can incite a civil war or something of Obama’s supposed disparaging of Peanuts. Especially if the teabaggers brought their guns.
.
It would go down in all of history as the most idiotic civil war ever fought…

They are looking at a gloomy future (for them). If the economy keeps improving there’s a very good chance Obama will be re-elected. Seven more years of a black man in the White House. Sarah won’t be as good looking then. Brittany Spears will be older and experienced enough to challenge Sarah for the NASCAR vote.

Speaking of suspicious..read this Paulnot.

.
Who knows what the real truth is, in the new Obama world many suspicious things seem to get changed alot now-a-days.
.
Even the murderous terrorist at Fort Hood is not even acknowleged by Obama as being a terrorist. I am not surprised at this as well.
.
And IQ53, go fly a kite buddy. You are the epitome of what I have written about in both of my comments. If you do not write in 3rd grade grammar, spewing out frivilous name calling, you simply resort to bloviation. If that does not succeed then you shout “RACIST”. The “kettle” is indeed black.
.
Enjoy!

“If the economy keeps improving”

.
Keyword: IF

And IF it does? We could easily have a second dip and still be back on the right path by election time in 2012. If Palin gets the nomination the economy might not play as important a role as it should. Sarah has almost no chance of getting the moderates or independents.

Rustyreturns,

You mean report on the fact that “Global Warming” IS a complete LIE?

Here is a link to another article (about global warming) right in this week’s TIME. Maybe TIME can tell us all why they are publishing “complete LIES”…..

http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,1945317,00.html

Rusty, just want you to know the kind of stuff this magazine is publishing……keep up the good work.

Rusty:
.
You argue against your own statments. Good luck!
.
Happy “stormfront”-ing…

I look at it this way:
.
Employment is a lagging indicator. That’s not in dispute.
.
Early on, job losses were in the 500,000 territory. That’s not in dispute either.
.
They have since flattened out to between 0 and 200,000. That’s not in dispute either.
.
There have been numerous advance indicators, including economic outlooks that foresee improvement. That’s not in dispute.
.
It’s pretty clear to me that the economy has bottomed out, so I think that the “If” part of the this “if” statement has more applicability in the past than it does now.
.
When it happens, who knows?
.
Maybe Rusty will have another of his famous “Sleeping White Giant” moments…

53_3: I also think the economy has bottomed out. My biggest concern is something we aren’t aware of or aren’t expecting. Another terrorist attack, a major economy tanking, another war in the Middle East or something else blowing up in our economy. I also don’t rule out complete gridlock if the republicans make significant gains next year.

I think the single biggest threat is gridlock, particularly if we keep persuing that majik 60 number and not holding their feet to the fires of blame.
.
I think that as for terrorist attacks, the biggest threats are GOP crackpots and teabagging lone wolfers as well as Al Queda. Problem there is it’s easier to tell an Al Queda operative from an average American then say, the likes of 2/3rdsrocks, who is one of those who are on the edge.
.
Then, there’s always an unsolicited war with Iran. As the Israeli train gets closer to the Iranian train over the nukes, we might get dragged in even if we don’t want to.
.
Obama, like that janitor in from of the Chinese venue where Obama met their leaders, was left with one hell of a mess.
.
And we haven’t even gotten to the end of the RCR game!

“And we haven’t even gotten to the end of the RCR game!”
.
Was supposed to be “…HCR game!”. Oops.
.
On the Global Warming thingie:
.
Problems at a single facility have really had no impact on scientific consensus, since the data collected is not under suspicion and even if it were, it only comprises a very small proportion of data collected over the last 30 years supporting the hypothesis that global warming was caused by man.
.
There have been other hoaxes, such as Piltdown Man and Cold Fusion, two examples that have been more than adequately addressed Those papers that do cite them will be reviewed by their authors and others and the impact of their citations will be evaluated accordingly. And it won’t be done by politicians.
.
The global warming hypothesis is still carrying the day as far as scientific consensus is concerned.

It is so incredulous john. TIME like the rest of the liberal media are so far up inside the far left’s butts it is nearly impossible to get the truth.
.
Reporters on this site either regurgitate the Obama talking points verbatim or simply make up their own lies.
.
But, I have hope. Hope that in 2010 that most voting Americans will see the dangers the left have brought us. See through all the lies and lack of media coverage on the truth. See through that “We the People” are in charge of this country, not the Harry Reids or Nancy Pelosi’s of the country.
.
It is time to shove the 20% that the left holds back into the recesses of their far left extremist’s world. Hopefully this time they will be gone for good.
.
We can only hope that all the fat Al Gore’s of the Democrat party whose only agenda is to shift power and line their pockets with “green job’s tax dollars” are exposed as the lying sack of crap that they are.
.
Take your “Italian Green Pasta” TIME and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine!!

14.1 for me, too! MOT!

No one needs to say more, this speaks for itself.
.
http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/Monckton-Caught%20Green-Handed%20Climategate%20Scandal.pdf

What really speaks for itself is the way you can call Obama a Muslim of the same faith as Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a pastor of a UCC church for 36 years, without the slightest hint of the irony.

Physician, Debbie Schlussel? That’s your source/?
.
Too funny.

Rusty:

Stick with FOX.

Everyone else:

This is a wikipedia link concerning the controversy. The article itself is thus subject to possible question however, the links provided are valid and they are of considerable significance!
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_controversy
.
I don’t have time to argue global warming, as I did with spob some months ago, but I think that with the consensus being where it is now, I’m no more worried about the politically motivated debate about this than I would be if they arguing against evolution or that the KT mass extinction was not caused by bolide impact.

A while back you were making some noise about seceding from the country because you were so disgusted with it.
.
So that pretty much makes you and Wright best friends, doesn’t it?

I don’t know if he hates Charlie Brown but Obama’s biggest love is Obama

…spob, Jay’s now riding that story. Good call.

“Wiseman” (very inappropriately named) seems to be the poster child for all of the TeaButtholes that are opposed to “all-things-Obama” and failing to realize that it is their gullibility and stupidity that let Bush #43, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove get away with their lies and corruption.

Gatecrash his blog and post your views about his nonsensical attitude and a person who is in government.

One of the sad things is that Wiseman might have voiced the feelings of the people in his town and will emerge as a local hero just like Wilson did when he shouted out “You lie!” to the President.

This is a standard feature of local politics…

Here are 2 other stories of racism. I doubt if any serious look will be taken by “journalists”. It does not fit their definition of racism. It does go along way to demonstrate why racism remains in this country.

The liberal left is only looking for the correct victims and not truly interested in solving the problems.

Wiseman is anything but.

By the way, the character Charlie Brown is a bad role model for kids, just like Mayor Wiseman.

Anytime

No, but he did seem to suggest that pre-empting Charlie Brown amounted to denying Christ’s deity–pretty interesting move for (I suppose) a Christian.
