without even reading the article, i would like to state that ‘reverse discrimination’ is officially on the list of the most asinine phrases of the english language.. right up there with ‘ethnic cleansing’

Well then, I'm glad you've had the opportunity to make your statement! :-)

Do you have any opinion on the content of the article?

So let’s see here - to say you’re looking forward to being able to vote for the first black president is acceptable and appropriate, even noble and admirable, but to say that Obama wouldn’t be well on the way to being president today if he weren’t black is ridiculous and mean-spirited, even racist - but that’s a function of the latest semantic trick - it’s a “racist statement” if you don’t like what Ferraro said, but if you’re a fellow-traveler like Mara Liasson of NPR and Fox, it’s only a “racial statement” - it’s getting better and better.......

I disagreed w/Rush on his crossover strategy, but it is working miracles. Completely exposing who the Racist Sexists are.

Rush the Vote - Rush Limbaugh Provides Viable Strategy for Black Voters

From an ethical standpoint the crossover vote inspired by Rush Limbaugh aiding Hillary Clinton and potentially undermining the candidacy of Barack Obama is at a minimum offensive. Thinking more long-range I would argue that it is time for Black America to embrace and adopt the strategy. Paying homage to one of the more effective proponents it should be known as “Rushing the Vote.”
Republicans will no longer be able to ignore the Black vote if even 10 or 20% of us crossover - Rush the Vote – to decide the Republican nominee or wreaking havoc in their primaries. It will also break the stronghold that the Democratic Party has had for far too long proving that our vote should not be taken for granted.
If for any reason Barack Obama is not the Democratic presidential nominee Black voters will have a perfect opportunity to Rush the Vote in November and we will be credited with the McCain victory.
It should be noted that Black Republicans such as WAOK’s Shelley Wynter have advocated this sort of swing strategy for years. Now that the effectiveness was proven in Texas and Ohio let’s plan to Rush the Vote whenever it is in our best interest.

Not that I’d ever take the word of someone who blogs for Reason magazine (”Free minds, free markets”) over “Mancrush” Landauer, but David Weigel puts pencil to paper in analyzing the Clinton victory in Texas and determines that the Rush Limbaugh call to listeners to cross over may have swung the popular vote her way.

[snip]

It’s a similar story in Texas, where Limbaugh has the most listeners of any of these states. Obama won the Republican vote 52-47, but conservatives (22 percent of all voters, up from 15 percent in the Kerry-Edwards primary) went against Obama. For the first time since Super Tuesday, they were Clinton’s best ideological group: She won them 53-43. And Clinton won 13 percent of the people who said Obama was the most electable candidate.

Ohio didn’t wind up being very close, but Clinton won the Texas primary by about 98,000 votes out of 2.8 million cast. If the exits are right, about 252,000 of those voters were Republicans, and about 618,000 were conservatives. Clinton truly might have won the Texas primary on the backs of Rush Limbaugh listeners.

Rush is the wind beneath her broom

[Ditto]

Walter Mondale was testing the enlightenment of the American people by placing her on his ticket and in those cold and reactionary Reagan years the people failed his test.

If Geraldine had not been on that ticket, Mondale would have probably lost 50 states instead of the 49 he did lose.

Could be, but I think this was the kicker for Mondale...

Obviously a white senator with so thin a resume as BHO's would NEVER be considered for a presidential nomination-maybe after he's served a full term, MAYBE. It is patently obvious that BHO is where he is because of his African ancestry.

And this is what scares me to death : Is this a preview of a BHO presidency? is that man entitled to a rubber-stamp congress and absolutely NO criticism or even discussion of his policies, whether in congress or in the media? Is he above ANY criticism or opposition of any kind, because it's automatically racist?

I hope a lot of voters are watching these pathetic antics carefully. A candidate who gets to play the Race Card is bad enough-but a president!?!??!

Actually, elections are anti Affirmative Action. The person who attracts the most voters wins. Of course, the Democrats have incorporated many devices to undermine this concept so...never mind.
