What a farce!
What reverse English!
The only reason that such a vacant, unfit, inarticulate, radical grifter from the Chicago machine
is anywhere CLOSE to the White House
is precisely because because of his race.
Every one of his supporters should be ashamed
of putting our country’s well-being so much at risk
just because he is half-African.
Really just 20th century ethnic politics. Makes perfect sense. It means Obama hasn't convinced all voters that he's the post-racial candidate. He blew that to hell when he did the Presidents on the money riff.
his candidacy has shown that conservative women are attacked by the left based on their ideologies, race and gender have nothing to do with the choice
the interesting revelation is when race and gender biases are accorded to voting blocks, the accuser has run out of compelling defense of position and wishes to obfuscate the nature of discourse
Early on, Obama appeared to be a different sort of black. He was fresh, clean and articulate and people flocked to him.
Then came along the Rev Wright and many folks pulled back thinking maybe Obama wasn’t so different after all.
No he isn't, he just says he is.
His mother was white.
He's as much white as he is black.
“when race and gender biases are accorded to voting blocks, the accuser has run out of compelling defense”
WoW, that is the most powerful line I have heard on here in days...that is it...that is all the left has to hold on to.
It’s over, they know it’s over, so, instead of being about ideas and ideology — it must be about race, since obambi has promised every entitlement and free give away of tax dollars and redistribution of wealth program under the sun to the masses and they still are not buying his BS — America has finally awaken to the idea that truly, “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” You or someone you know — will always have to pick up the check. If the American Indian had been smart — they would have refused the free blankets...but look what free blankets got em...
Obambi can promise all the give away’s he wants, but in the end, you are either going to give up freedom or money or both...that is all he has to offer — that has nothing to do with race — and I say, — “NO THANK YOU,” me and my family and my friends, we will take care of each and our community ourselves.
Another idiotic screed. The very reason Obama made it this far is because of the white vote. Oh I see. Writer wants just enough of the white vote to win. Anything short of that is racism. That’s surely a winning argument.
Not likely. Neighborhoods would form and organize loose militias overnight to protect their families. If there are riots, they will be confined to the neighorhoods of the rioters. One step out of the area would be their last step.
We had race riots in Saint Louis after MLK was killed. My father joined with the neighbors and barricaded the entrance to our street. They saw some gangs trying to approach but most rioters were smart enough to avoid them.
My mom always tells me that was the nicest group and best neighborhood we ever lived in.
The Messiah’s race is as “little discussed” as the weather, or the Super Bowl. But of course, we flyover country imbeciles are not supposed to notice this!
You bet his race is a factor. WITH DEMS!!!!!!! He is in a close race because 98% of blacks are voting for him based on his race. If they based their vote on anything other than race, like , THE ISSUES, it wouldn’t be close. He’s a Fraud and a Dope.
Let’s be perfectly clear. This is all about DEMOCRAT racism.
We are talking about those who would have voted Dem changing their vote because of race.
Those on the right are perfectly race neutral, and would vote against Obama regardless of his race.
The Democrats keep chanting the mantra “If you don’t vote for Obama, you’re a racist”. This is the culmination of years of race baiting and identity politics where nothing matters but ethnicity, and intimidation and reactionary hysteria displace rational discourse. It’s politics on the level of pre-adolescent playground taunting and name calling which has been successful at some level, i.e., the prominence of race warriors like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. The debate has now emerged on the national level and the American people have to determine if skin color eclipses qualifications and character. It’s a much easier matter to support race selection for medical and law school candidates when it’s unlikely that such candidates will end up as your lawyer or surgeon, but now we must decide whether to place the safety of America and the Free World in the hands of an affirmative action choice. Is the world so secure that we can use the U.S. Presidency to demonstrate our magnanimity to ourselves and the world? Are we prepared for the consequences?
Philadelphia Inquirer. It sickens me that I have to buy this piece of crap every Sunday because my wife wants the coupons. At least, it’s half price at the Dollar Store.
If you are white or black and you're in a cafeteria, who do you sit with? With people like yourself of course. It's not racism, it's just human nature.
Yep, the whole country will be defined as racist. And just how can we prove not so, why only by electing a DEMOCRAT/COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST black man as POTUS. Nothing else will do. It means nothing that people of all sexes and races, including black, have been assigned prominent positions in the Bush Presidency and the Republican party. No, those are the WRONG minorities, it just doesn’t count unless it’s a DEMOCRAT/COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST.
The thing here is that it's the DEMOCRAT voters who are biased, and they may end up costing Obama the election.
The irony... LOL!!!
Actually Barack Obama is only half black - the other half is good old Kansas white. If he had not cultivated his “black identity”, we would never have heard of Obama; he is where he is solely because of skin color and attitude. He is, however, 100% leftist, which is why I would never vote for him.
That’s right, I’d sit with white folks as well. Does that make me racist? I’m sort of proud of being white, and of German descent. Oops, now I guess I’m a Nazi sympathizer as well.Oh well, I guess I just can’t please everyone.Can a person be proud of his race and thier accomplishments without being racist? Only if they are black?
