Liberals: Paisley, Underwood 'rich, white’ racists for mocking Obamacare at CMA
November 7, 2013
"Leave it to a bunch of rich white people from the south to make fun of Obama," one person said. The tweet was deleted but not before being captured by Twitchy.
"Yeah- the rich, white singers at the #CMAs have profound understandings of #Obamacare and other social issues," another person tweeted, using the hashtag "#mouthbreather."
Obama supporters on Twitter also slammed the audience, who loved the skit.
"Why yes, a crowd of rich white people just booed Obamacare," one person said.
"Actually planned to watch CMAs til I remembered their republican/racist tendencies. Thx for reminder," another person tweeted, apparently oblivious to the fact that several country stars, including Garth Brooks, have supported Obama in the past.
Paisley also performed at the White House last July 4, but that little tidbit of history seemed to escaped those engaging in knee-jerk reactions. Some even considered dropping their support of Paisley after hearing the singer supported Barack Obama. Again, that was never considered by those freaking out over the skit.
Underwood, according to one report, is a registered Republican who spoke out in favor of gay rights.
"There's nothing "accidentally racist" about doing ACA jokes and booing health reform on the Country Music Awards, is there," one person said on Twitter, referring to a Paisley song.
“Our generation didn’t start this nation,” Paisley sings in “Accidental Racist.” “We’re still pickin’ up the pieces, walkin’ on eggshells, fightin’ over yesterday/ And caught between Southern pride and Southern blame.”
Paisley, the Tennessean said, began thinking about the song after he wore a T-shirt advertising his love of Country Music Hall of Fame band Alabama that depicted a Confederate battle flag.
“I was called a racist on Twitter for that,” he says. “That was the beginning of this song: Me thinking, ‘Am I a racist? Is that all it takes?’”
These days, unfortunately, it takes far less than that to be called a racist.
Disagree with Obama and one is likely to be branded a racist by the knee-jerk left who often react like Pavlov's dogs.
These days, liberals can see racism in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and dry asparagus.
It's all part of the effort to demonize anyone to the right of Josef Stalin, and as some suggested on Twitter, anyone who thinks the skit was funny is, of course, a racist.
"If you laughed at the #CMAawards #Obamacare parody, you guessed it --------> YOU'RE RACIST!" one person tweeted.
"Is this what we have to look forward to today?" Twitchy asked.
In a word, yes.
