In a New York Times Sunday article, columnist Maureen Dowd referred to President Obama by his nickname, Barry, and all hell broke loose on social media.
In the column, titled “The Clinton Contamination,” Dowd praised the president for trying to “reign in” Clinton when she worked as secretary of state but said that ultimately his efforts were unsuccessful.
And it was in that paragraph where a lighthearted comment sent the Left over the edge.
But in the end, Hillary’s goo got on Obama anyhow. On Tuesday, after Comey managed to make both Democrats and Republicans angry by indicting Clinton politically but not legally, Barry and Hillary flew to Charlotte, N.C., for their first joint campaign appearance.
The response on Twitter was swift.
Let’s dispense with your not-so-subtle racism, @NYTimesDowd. It’s #PresidentObamaNotBarry

It’s demeaning, disrespectful of the office, belittling and racially-tinged. Does that help? #PresidentObamaNotBarry https://t.co/TFbusVzn3I

Racist?
Where were these people for “Dubya” Bush. What do they thin of “Ike” and “Dick” Nixon?
The same Progs outraged over calling Obama “Barry” called George Bush “Hitler” for years.
Hypocritical asshats

Only Progs who see the world through the divisive lens of race could read the use of “Barry” as racist.— Peter Deacon (@AmerPatriot1) July 10, 2016
According to liberal crybabies, it’s racist to call Obama, “Barry,” even though he once used the name himself… #PresidentObamaNotBarry

#PresidentObamanotBarry Use his middle name, you’re a racist. Use the name he used in college, you’re a racist. Democrats are SO touchy…
