"This strikes at the core of Obama’s entire political identity: a soft-spoken, reasonable African-American with a Kansas accent."

Wat?

I am sure that when Obamaidiot is removed from the White House, these same idiot-ridden morons will likewise tout “racism”. One day soon, these idiots will learn that throwing the race card is irrelevant to the majority of Americans today because they are sick and tired of it being thrown unnecessarily. =.=

The fact is Romney has been one of the most staunch pro-abortion advocates nearly all his adult life. Nice of them to leave that out.

The political left has always grossly over estimated their influence and the numbers of their supporters.

But they have won almost everything they go after. The GOP always surrenders. Conservatism is losing to the left BIG TIME - just look around.

Writers, such as Jonathan Chait, are making charges of racism and racist to be badges of honor and to be signs of superior intellect.

This is all they can come up with after a week long MAJOR face palm moment. Delicious!

[Card issuer calling] Good morning Mr. Chait. This is your friendly race card representative. Sorry Mr. Chait. Your race card is overlimit, and has expired. It will not be reissued. Have a nice day.

Both Wilson and FDR thought they would advance to a full blown socialist dictatorship right then and there and ended with failure. We as a nation beat the odds both times. Everywhere else in the world, when legislation failed to enact the communist agenda they resorted to guns and shooting their opposition.
Now all the socialists, both the Fabians and the revolutionary types, (the political elite) think that Obama will get them their utopia right now. That is the reason for the elite picking Romney, the weakest of the possible candidates. As weak as he is, Romney is having to dig fast to remain weaker than Obama. The elite are becoming rather frantic because the voters are becoming aware of their manipulations.

Good catch. That was laughable BS. They are constantly trying to rewrite Obama’s biography to fit into their pre-defined script, because the truth is butt ugly. Kansas accent? Since when!

This whole piece is the rehash of the JOURNOLIST fiasco where leftist journalists conspired to call Fred Barnes and George Will “racists”, without evidence, in a deliberate attempt to shut them down and force them to address the charge. Journolist was revealed and the group was destroyed in disgrace.

This racism is an unconscionable charge when it has no basis, and the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus are guilty of it as well. This whole “Tea Party are racist” crap was part and parcel of the attack to having to avoid superior arguments. If they cannot beat you intellectually, which is most of the time, they know they can win by calling you racist.

“People from Kansas do not have an accent”
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but EVERY region in the US has an “accent”. It may not be noticeable to people who actually live there, but it’s there. I’ve lived in several different regions of the US, and my speech pattern is weird now because it’s mixed with different pronunciations for some words vs. the way I spoke growing up - and now that I’m living up North in Wisconsin I’m having trouble keeping the proper pronunciation of words like “boat”, “about”, and “Minnesota”. It’s just the way it goes...

Here’s an interesting website for further info:
From KU(The University of Kansas)’s International Dialects of English Archive (IDEA) web page for the state of Kansas;

I want a Republican ad:

The ENTIRE video of the comments made my Obama about ‘You didn’t build that”—applause & pauses & ALL of it....

Followed by the first 10 or seconds of Obama’s new ad stating ‘that he is being taken out of context & that it is flat out wrong’ for anyone to believe he said what he said in that campaign speech.

Follow that with the graphics:

VOTE FOR ROMNEY

Use Obama’s words directly against him.

Obama lies with impunity.

I should add that I think people saying Obama HAS a “Kansas Accent” is pure bunk. He does use a preacher intonation though when he really “gets into” his speeches. And, I notice a bit of the “South Side” Chicago speech pattern slip in when he's not careful as well. Everyone has an accent, and many people are linguistic accomodaters without even thinking about it, or attempting to affect an accent... I am one such person... I lived in Tennessee for all of 5 months, and when I came back home (at the time) to Chicago EVERYONE made fun of the way I was talkin’... I didn't realize myself how much I had picked up.

Thanks for the link to the web page. Glanced at it briefly but will spend more time later.

I grew up in Kansas. Even though Kansas City spans two states, the Kansas side was more like another country, rather than just on the west side of the river. People from Kansas City, Missouri, whom we thought were snobs, thought we were all country bumpkins.
