msnbc ^ | Oct 11, 2008 | not specified

"George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights."

There is such a thing of overplaying the race card. I hope these race hustlers keep it up.

Wonder what he thinks of the Obama youth? Hitler also spoke of social justice and equality.

How cute. A Democrat, comparing a Democrat wannabe to another Democrat.

McCain needs to stop acting like a bipartisan buffoon, grow some balls, and attack the leftists rather than the conservatives, instead of the other way around.

Just for the record George Wallace was a Democrat.

His actions were consistent with his political party.

Wallace, Lester Maddox, Bull Connor, and all those other segregationists were ALL Democrats.

The “race card” is meant to be the secular version of dhimini.

We all know the truth...that Obama has encouraged the race card being thrown around as he knows it’s a punch he doesn’t have to worry about a counter-punch. Obama is a damn racist...his pastor pig is a damned racist AND an American hater. I’m so sick of this race crap....start fighting this angry man and expose him for what he is..a angry black man who can’t stand America and has no problems cozying up with America’s enemies...

Yup, Hitler was a socialist:

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

John McCain would be used to being called a racist by now if he had been on the right side of the border issue with us.

ACORN IS A GOOD ONE. GO FOR THE JUGULAR. Also....

JOHN S. MCCAIN WOULD WIN 85% of UNDECIDED VOTERS in these last few days if he would EXPRESS HIS OPEN SUPPORT OF THE GOP 2008 PLATFORM ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and he and Sarah Palin made Clear, Definitive Comments on Amnesty (their opposition) and The Fence (their support).

Obama could not answer this because his party's platform and he himself is for mass legalization of these invaders.

There you have it. This is how McCain gets to swoop up massive segments of the Undecideds.

Do YOU want him to do this?

Do YOU want him to win the election?

Does HE want to win the election?

I think this is why they’re saving Rev Wright for the last weekend.

Can you imagine the race cards flying when those ads start running?

You can’t fan the flames for this long with ridiculous talk of oppression and entitlement without having some disastrous consequences. At some point you must stand on Constitutional freedoms and true equality for all. Judge Harlan’s descent in Plessy should have been majority opinion in Brown but instead it was more of the same only in reverse. Democrats are and always have been the party of racism regardless of who they support or appear to support.

As pastor Manning says : He's Not Black -He’s BIRACIAL. and his black half aint African American, and he was raised first as an Indonesian then by his aryan grandparents.
He is more white than black, yet he played the card against Hillary and now McCain.

A couple of quotes by Booker T. Washington -

There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs…

There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

-Booker T. Washington
