STEUBENVILLE, Ohio This is the land of die-hard Democrats mill workers, coal miners and union members. They have voted party line for generations, forming a reliable constituency for just about any Democrat who decides to run for office.
But when it comes to President Obama, a small part of this constituency balks.
Certain precincts in this county are not going to vote for Obama, said John Corrigan, clerk of courts for Jefferson County, who was drinking coffee in a furniture shop downtown one morning last week with a small group of friends, retired judges and civil servants. I dont want to say it, but we all know why.
A retired state employee, Jason Foreman, interjected, Ill say it: its because hes black.
For nearly three and a half years, a black family has occupied the White House, and much of the time what has been most remarkable about that fact is how unremarkable it has become to the country. While Mr. Obama will always be known to the history books as the countrys first black president, his mixed-race heritage has only rarely surfaced in visible and explicit ways amid the tumult of a deep recession, two wars and shifting political currents....

Enemedia. I like that. Is that a contraction of the enemy media, enema media or both?
Oh, and you're racist if you don't vote for him.
This is why I predict with 100% certainty that the October Surprise (August, actually) will be that we will be in a shooting war with Iran.

Even multi generational brain dead dim voters can see when their life, and future progeny are in dire peril.
I'm not going to click thru to the NYT, but from the tone of the excerpt I'm guessing that the clueless author of the article never considered that for more than 80% of black voters, the President's race is what matters as far as casting their vote.
Curious blindness, isn't it? (no, actually it's not - this is the NYT we're talking about after all)
Lynch Mob Media is closer to the mark these days.
The narrative was, and now is, "If you don't vote for Obama you're racist." That's the bottom line. It wouldn't matter if "The Won" burned an American flag on the White House lawn and took a special trip to the National Archives to pee on the Constitution -- only racists will refuse to vote for Obama.
They can't point to his successes because there are none he can really claim. GM is by no means out of danger and offing Bin Laden was more in spite of him that because of him.
There may indeed be people who vote against him solely because he is Black, but that is probably the smallest category on the list and you have to dig deep to find them -- as this shill was obviously willing to do.
Enemamedia. Almost sounds Latin.
It certainly is highly descriptive, of what they spew, and whom they are!
Hey Sabrina, ya idiot, he’s not black, he just looks black. His momma was white as the driven snow! Notice I didn’t say she was ‘pure’ as the driven snow. Anyway, if it was to his advantage politically he would say he was white! Stop with the divisive BS, it is not going to fly this time around!
Nothing said about whether these suddenly black-hating districts of white rednecks voted Obama in 2008, of course.
If they hate Obama it’s because they hate the color of his politics, which was a cipher in 2008 but not now.
Or race war. Or civil war. Or martial law. Or some combination of all of those.
“Or race war. Or civil war. Or martial law. Or some combination of all of those.”
You can bet the farm that, if the polls look bad for him, there will be some sort of Reichstag fire. These people will not go out quietly. Be prepared for anything!
Israel didn’t mobilize to have a weinie roast at the park, did they?....
Of course it’s still an issue. The vast majority of black voters are going to vote for the marxist messiah simply because he’s “one of them”.
If you want to see the racism in the coming election, look no further than that.
I would vote for Clarence Thomas, but never Zer0. Does that make me racist?
I believe the race card is all played out with most Americans. They are going to have to steal this election.
I have had them and some other all kosher meat wieners; they are excellent although I might actually fight to eat pork sausage.
It’s all about the melanometrics..
