ObamaPhone?

Why are the dimwits on Drudge and right wing blogs calling it an Obamaphone? Following a racist video posted by Drudge, that's all they're talking about.

It's got nothing to do with Obama. Obama doesn't pay for these phones that are given to the poor.

YOU DO!

The Federal Communications Commission has a program called Lifeline that provides low-cost or free phone service. The agency's website says this is because it and Congress "recognize that telephone service provides a vital link to emergency services, government services and surrounding communities." Who qualifies varies by state, but "in general," to qualify you must have an income that is no more than 135 percent of the federal poverty line, or be enrolled in assistance programs like Medicaid, public housing assistance, discounted school lunch, or yes, food stamps. (This Factcheck.org piece has a good overview of the issue.) Strictly speaking, it's not a government-funded program: the telephone companies make payments to a fund administered by a non-profit called the Universal Service Administrative Company, but anyone with a phone bill chips in through a surcharge on their service.

And didn't I tell y'all this already?

Is the Obama Phone Obama's doing?

No. The universal service requirement dates back at least to the Communications Act of 1934. The Lifeline program specifically was started in 1984 under President Reagan and was expanded in 1996 under President Clinton to allow qualifying households to choose to apply the benefit to either a landline or a cell phone. So no, it's not an Obama handout.

Shockingly, despite the bipartisan origins of the service, the idea of an "Obama Phone" for the undeserving has existed for a long time. A couple email forwards, debunked by Snopes.com, were circulating in October 2009 and described poor people shamelessly showing off their free phones:

I remember posting that Snopes link a while back...

But...here's the kicker. Why are we seeing our resident racists creaming their jeans over this video?

Because, of course, it's racist!

Is this video racist?

Let's start by saying it's racial. The Obama Phone video belongs to a genre popular on conservative blogs in which poor people, usually black, confirm conservatives' worst 47-percent fears by saying they can get something for nothing because Obama's in office. The message is, "Here's what Obama's supporters really look like."

This excerpt speaks directly to a certain racist on here. Gotta love it!

OK, but is the video just blatant racism?

Romney was not the originator of the 47 percent meme; like several other talking points he's used this election, he appears to have picked it up from conservative blogs. But as "inelegant" as Romney says his comments were, they're measured, thoughtful, and considerate compared to where they came from. For example, the racists over at Stormfront just love this story. One reader posted the video under the headline "Negro Obama Voter Says 'Vote for Obama because he gives a free Phone,'" and added, just in case the subtext wasn't obvious, "First I thought this was a joke but it's real. Racial inferiority on display." The aggressively racist responses have included, "The media tries not to show scum like this because then it would be easier to see what non-whites are really like" and "what does this talking baboon mean by free? When I pay my taxes it sure as hell ain't free." So, yes, it's totally and obviously racist according to some racists who rushed to a "White Pride" Internet forum as soon as they heard about it on Rush Limbaugh's show. To any conservatives offended at being associated with such vile people, let us say it for you: Using one mockable person you found on the Internet to make generalizations about half the country is lazy and stupid.

And, yes. It's racist. Very racist.

The moral? It's not about a phone or phone service people have been receiving for nearly thirty years. It's about bigoted, narrow-minded conservative racists spreading hatred any way they can.

As soon as we learn to ignore them, they'll go away.

The women in the video called it her "OBAMA PHONE"

Why are you blaming Drudge and right wing blogs of anyone else....???

Cause you're a hack and an ignorant partisan liar...?

Maybe you can call that black women a racist....she is the source of the term...

and it has absolutely nothing to do with who pays for the phone or anything else.

The only dimwit here is you and mis-characterization of the entire issue.

--------------
Romney said that 47% of the people don't pay a federal income tax......true or not ?.....Its undeniable true

He then said, that his message of lower taxes would nothing to that group, they already pay nothing.....true or not ?.....Its undeniable true

The lying left took his words, used them out of context and mis-characterized what he said and what he was talking about.....

Thats what you assholes are so very good at and with the help of msm can and do spread that king of lying spin to your mornic followers to lap up.....

they see nor hear no other side of the issues and remain as ignorant as you show you are.

I'm sorry you're incapable of reading comprehension.
 
You can correct any mistakes I made....or just accept the facts are they really are....as the video shows....as her own words are heard......
 
I believe the question of the OP was whether the video was a fake, not the argument about Obamaphones......obviously the poor deluded woman in the video was fooled into thinking Obama gave her the phone.....instead, she should be voting for Reagan who apparently is really the party responsible.......liberals owe it to her to reveal the truth to her.......

my son as part of his business recycles cell phones to keep them out of the trash dumps

these phones are resold (usually overseas) but also here in the good old u s of a

care to wager that these 'free' cell phone are recycled older phones

some of my son's recycled cellphones go to various charities or to people that need a phone to call 911 (no other service provided)

recycled cell phones are very cheap
