Now transcripters want Obama's grades released

[GusFring]

That idiot Larry Elder was just on the newa in LA talking about this and other crap.

Has anyone asked for Romney's grades?

1. Ridiculous

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. Next demand: sperm count.

[klook]

3. Four words:

President, Harvard Law Review.

I'll stack that up against any of R-Money's achievements.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Yes, but everything Obama achieved

was on account of affirmative action, according to the GOPers. That's why they want to see his grades - to prove that he wasn't really a very good student and that he got into good schools and got to be president of the Law Review because he got special handling on account of being black. After all, black people aren't actually smart enough to go to Harvard Law School, let alone make Law Review.

5. Right after college I remember attending a superbowl party where

the consensus was that blacks did not have the mental ability to be quarterbacks. That's why there weren't any in the NFL.

I didn't realize that that kind of thinking was common in the area.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. Back in the 60's, I asked my then husband why there were no black quarterbacks.

His answer was just as you described. They weren't smart enough. It was the accepted attitude at the time. It's still hard to believe that anyone actually believed it, but they did.

11. When you live through something like that it becomes easier to spot the other prejudicial logic

that the right is so afflicted with.

14. A few years back That Idiot Also Known As Rush Limbaugh ("TIAKARL")

lost his job as a commentator on a TV sports show because of a "he's not smart enough 'cause he's black and he got to be quarterback because of affirmative action" riff on Donovan McNabb, then QB for the Eagles. If I recall TIAKARL gave the standard GOP apology of "I'm sorry if you were offended."

[klook]

8. Oh yes -- They really can't handle the idea

that Aryans aren't naturally superior. It comes down to that.

And of course, this is also designed to drown out questions about Willard's tax returns and Cayman Island tax shelters. BTW, I just checked the status of this and saw that, according to R-Money's draft 2011 tax return he "earned" $4,099,156 in interest alone!! Holy fuck...

12. Magna Cum Laude

Someone could make the claim that he was given the President of Harvard Law Review for popularity reasons (kind of like the Nobel). What cannot be argued is that he graduated Magna Cum Laude. That requires that he have top 10% grades and the tests are blind graded. Anyone that can't see that he's very smart is, well, very stupid.

[TBF]

16. They could make that claim but it likely won't hold water -

Law Reviews have different ways of choosing members - sometimes it's grades, sometimes faculty is in charge, sometimes a mix of factors. Someone from Harvard Law would have to weigh in on how the selection process worked at that time.

18. Good point

I like those 3 words better.

6. Larry Elder is the person that the crazy billionaire wanted to spread the Rev. Wright message. n/t

[Horse with no Name]

7. Yet dubya's service record, grades, addict status, and everything else was off limits?

What a bunch of hooey.

[crazylikafox]

9. The Trumpster said on CNBC this AM that the transcript will have his place of Birth on it

& that's why he needs to see it. Who ever heard of having your place of birth on your report card?????

I couldn't believe the nonsense he was spewing & no one commented or questioned him on it. F..ing unbelievable.

[FSogol]

13. Where are Mitt's tax records?

Enquiring Minds Want to Know!

[gratuitous]

15. They will make an issue out of ANYTHING

The puzzling thing is why the popular media give air time over to these childish rants that would make a four-year-old blush with shame for them.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. They can't seem to stop digging their graves

I guess because Prez. Obama took all of their talking points away and all that is left is RW Freak Show Pt. 2.

Keep digging!
