Obama Gets 'Blacks To Hate Whites' Says FOX Chief

'The president likes to divide people into groups,' says Roger Ailes

President Barack Obama is a divider, not a uniter. FOX News Chairman Roger Ailes says as much in a New Republic interview.

"The president likes to divide people into groups," Ailes said. "He's too busy getting the middle class to hate rich people, blacks to hate whites. He is busy trying to get everybody to hate each other."

When really "we need to get along," Ailes added.

The New Republic piece isn't about an anti-Obama agenda by FOX. Rather it delves into the Republican Party's standing with Latino voters and FOX News' place in that issue.

"Hispanics who get on government programs are doing only a little better than they were in the old country," Ailes remarked. "Fox News Latino will show people how opportunities exist, that whenever we are overregulated, or there is too much government, we lose freedom. We lose power. That is, historically, one hundred percent true."

But Ailes's words about the president aren't likely to warm relations the network's frosty relationship with Team Obama. In 2009 then-White House communications Anita Dunn said of FOX, "It's opinion journalism masquerading as news."

Obama doesn't have to, I'm sure the Black Panther already hates white, the KKK already hate blacks. Nobody needs help from a President to hate on someone, just their actions will have someone hate them.

Obama has done nothing to curb the division in this country...he just feels he has more on his side...Blacks, Hispanics, poor, etc... and just doesn't care about the country as a whole.

Subtract a "right" vote. I accidentally clicked on the wrong one. This man needs to be replaced. It's a matter of politics and policies, and not of races. At least it is with most people I know in my city, friends, family and coworkers. This is inflammatory speech, and he has a right to say it, but a corporation should be ashamed to have this man representing it.

I wonder how many black people this fat freak actually knows. Does he work with black people? Does he hire any? Can he imagine how they must feel when he runs his mouth like this?

I live in Atlanta. Guess how many black people live here, too? Lots. I work with a lot of them. My community is very diverse. I do not feel at all like I'm disliked because Obama is president.

No. As a matter of fact, it's the white rich religious right who makes me feel hated. I'm as white as they are, but I don't fit their idea of the perfect person. That's why I refuse to vote for them or with them.

Ever since this president came into the Oval Orifice, he has marginalized and divided the folks, when he proclaimed he would do the opposite as a candidate. In 1917, the Bolsheviks used the same game plan to divide the people -- using class warfare, attacking both the rich and industry, which ushered in 70 years of absolute misery under Communism. It's all there in the Communist Manifesto and Alinsky's Book, "Rules for Radicals."

@PayThatCEO

One would have to go back to the beginning of his youth to get the complete picture; the influences that his parents, grand parents and his early mentor Frank Marshal Davis had on him. You can start with the following information that the complicit media won't try to refute, because they can't. If in fact the '4th Estate' had done their job in vetting, all this would have been unnecessary -- Just like everything about Obama, his past travels to Indonesia - and on what passport, birth records, his scholastic records at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard are all sealed, even down to his IQ.

Any thinking person would have to ask why? He has the distinction of being the first and only president attempting to cover-up his past. Obviously, there are things that he doesn't want known. The following (with references) will give you a glimpse into his past life, philosophy, his nefarious friends, associates and his questionable dealings.

Let your fingers do the walking.....

Why is it that so many liberal pundits cry racism every time someone criticizes or calls the President out on any issue? MSLSD is very good at doing, name Rev Al and Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews. The racism occurring is the result of people like these two playing the race card as often as possible.

The question you need to ask is why are conservative/the right always saying stupid racist shit like this? It seems like everyday, someone on the right is always saying something very ill adviced and are shocked there are serious consequenses.

I mean, how is saying anything racist helps anyones case? You would think the conservatives have learned their lesson by now. Maybe its a liberal bias thing, or maybe its possible that dems dont say racist things. I dont know, and Im not going to speculate whether they have or not. But you can bet anytime something racey happens, its always the right or the conservatives that says it. I mean, conservatives always say that they are the victum, but they are the ones that committed the crime. That kind of logic just astounds me.

"Divide and conquer" has been the left's "modus operandi" all along. Barack Obama and his handlers have merely been more effective than most at implementing the strategy, and making it work for them. They really don't care that it's harming the nation as a whole, as long as they get to increase their own personal political power.
