Obama Surrogates Claim Race is Factor in Voting (Not Voting for Obama is Racist, Unpatriotic)
WYTV ^ | Monday, September 15, 2008

Posted on 09/15/2008 8:08:36 PM PDT by kristinn

Monday afternoon, state Representatives Bob Hagan of Youngstown and Tom Letson of Warren met with reporters.

They argue many voters who call themselves "Democrats" or "Independents", but won't vote for Obama, have only one excuse, with Letson saying, "I would say that a lot of it is they're not going to vote for 'the black guy'".

Hagan called the issue "unpatriotic," adding those not willing to vote for Obama need "to face that fact. That that's not acceptable in America."

Both men say they will work to convince those "swing voters" to change their minds between now and election day.

Unpatriotic???? Ok, Obama, what about not putting your hand over your heart when the national anthem is sung? What about not wearing an American flag? What about having the American flag removed from your campaign plane? Huh? HUH??????

Sounds to me like it’s YOU who are unpatriotic!

Sorry, voting for a black man simply because he is black and otherwise completely unqualified is racist.

Sounds like their polling indicates the Bradley effect is going to hurt them in November.

If I were an Obama supporter, them saying that would make me NOT vote for him. I don’t like that sort of tactic and it makes them look very desperate.

Obama and his mouthpieces are tossing that race card around like they’re trying to get it in a hat. They’ll make any outrageous claim that avoids the fact their Zerobama is an empty suit who no one in his right mind would vote for.

Calling people racist, ummmmmm is not the way to get them to vote for you. Are they really serious? Okay, the are really scared because “you are a racist if you don’t vote Barack” naritive is being set up for the loss they feel is coming.

Uhhh... Voting for someone BECAUSE he is black is also racist or do they fail to see the hypocrisy? Men should be judged by their character not the color of their skin (MLK). Obama is waaay to left for even some of the left.

Hagan called the issue "unpatriotic," ... That that's not acceptable in America."

"In other news, 0bama said that nobody should question his patriotism."

It seems they may be finally getting to the reality that 20% of the democrats are not going to vote for Obama because he is black. They know that it is impossible for Obama to win with only 80% to 85% of his own party voting for him.

The democrat paty has been always the home of racists from all colors, whites, blacks, and hispanics.

If you were an obama supporter such rational thoughts would never enter your head!

A woman wrote into our local newspaper last Thursday saying the exact same thing these two fellows are saying. Must have been Obama camgaign talking points, trying to play upon white guilt.

Well, I ain’t got no quilt about black folk. I won’t vote for some crazed man with delusions of grandeur and a communist manifesto stuffed into his back pocket.

I’m voting for the most qualified U.S. citizen, the one who is conservative.
