Whether he knows it or not, Barack Obama has just irretrievably changed the course of the 2008 presidential election.
By essentially labeling John McCain a racist, simply as a result of McCain daring to challenge his policy positions, Obama has entered the murkey world of race baiting, sinking to join hands with the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakan.
Reverend Wright should be proud, Obama WASN'T asleep during all those sermons. He's learned well from his religious leader and mentor.
How unfortunate. He could not have picked a worse target for these attacks. John McCain may be many things, but he is not a racist.
Obama has just diminished himself and reduced his campaign to a single gutteral issue. Once you play the race card, you can't retract it.
The years of hate-filled sermons and black seperatism have have achieved their result. The chicken has come home to roost in Barack Obama.
Obama is a small, petty, weak and ineffective excuse for a candidate who is no more a healer than the rogue's gallery of cohorts he has surrounded himself with for the last 20 years.
See my tag line...
I told a guy today about Obama’s recent statement about reparations. He said “good, I’m all for reparations. I’ll give reparations to all the black people that I’ve harmed which is zero and I want reparations for the scholarships I didn’t get for college because I’m white and for the jobs I didn’t get because I’m white”.
I like that.
Why is it that RACISTS are ALWAYS quick to call OTHERS, RACISTS?
The Obomination is a petty, street punk.
Left by 2 fathers
Madrassa schooled for part of elementary years
Quota candidate for Harvard and Harvard Law
Community organizer
Mob ties
Wright is mentor and preacher
Terror links, both domestic and abroad
Far-left Communist
He will lose by 7% in November.
Then we need Romney (I know he’s CFR) and McCain may somehow pass in office...
I accuse of Obama of ginning up the “hate whitey” vote.
See MY tagline...
There is no way that for 20 years, that reverend was a closet whitey hater. Guys like that can’t keep those kinds of views secret. It’s one thing when a priest or pastor is doing something heinous like molesting children and their congregation doesn’t know it. It’s not like those men are going to be preaching from the pulpit that it’s okay to molest children.
Obama’s reverend did preach hatred for America and White people. That is a big difference.
I do not condone this conduct or action, vandalism is a crime, but, a "hate crime?"
They're getting pretty loose with that term.
John McCain is a POW fighter. Saying anything less will diminish the Obama voter. Obama is expecting the 20 somethings to put him over the top. Good luck on all that.
What is the difference between Obama and Osama? BS
yeah,but really he’s stirring up the world against America vote,he considers himself president already,so does the rest of the socialist in the world,gore and kerry were just forerunner’s to this event,when he loses the election,if mccain doesn’t win by more than 20 million votes,this country will be hated and drug through the gutter for years,if not burn’t down.
Oh, man, was I elated to hear Hussein say play such a blatant race card! The issue of reparations is a deal-breaker for a significant number of Americans. His true colors (pun intended) are shining through. This faux pas needs to go viral on the web and talk radio.
No freakin’ chance this guy will get elected now! Too bad for Dems. Picked another loser lib. The tantrum will continue as John McCain is sworn in next January. Count on it.
You can KEEP the change!
Yup. This is the crux of the issue. Any criticism of Obama is called racism. How is the Big O going to lead a discussion on race (for which he claims he is uniquely qualified) if he has a knee-jerk reaction to label his opponent a racist or a panderer to racists in the first instance. It cuts off all point of debate.
Sadly, the Big O will be no uniter on this issue. Not surprising given his 20 years of cowardice in the pews at United Trinity.
Makes perfect sense.
Perhaps I should ask for reparations for all of those "Help Wanted - No Irish Need Apply" signs up at places of business when my dad's side of the family came to the U.S.
That's really how stupid all this reparations garbage is.
They’ll hate us more the higher McCain’s plurality is. But the scum will still love our Hollywood entertainment.
“That’s really how stupid all this reparations garbage is.”
And how about those that have immigrated here from Africa since slavery was ended?
I’ve been recently doing ancestry work just out of curiosity. A great uncle of mine converted to mormonism and did our families genealogy all the way back to the 1400s in England and on that side, I do have ancestors that have been here since the 1600s. They also were all from New England and many fought for the Union in the civil war.
There are even archives on my Van Der Mark side that show he refused to sign an oath of allegiance to Britain and was part of an uprising in his town against the British and was in a militia. I’ve been doing all kinds of research on my ancestors and so far haven’t found a single one that could have been a slave owner. So maybe I won’t have to pay reparations......ha ha. My dad’s side all came from Ireland, Germany, or Norway in the 1800s so maybe I’ll only have to pay half. How would they work this nonsense out anyways?
