I just watched Barack Obama on a brief Fox News Clip. In answering a question he said (paraphrasing),
"Are there voters who would not vote for a presidential candidate who is African American? I have no doubt there are such voters. But I'm not concerned because those kinds of voters would also be opposed to my politics.
He just said that racists are the same people as those who oppose liberal Democrats; i.e Republicans. I hope some interpid reporter follows up on that comment.
Sounds to me he's pulling the "conservatives are racist" line out of the playbook already.
"He is not African American."
Alan Keyes is a real African American, and I would vote for him.
LOL, I'd forgotten all about her. Must be traumatic amnesia.
Does anyone happen to have a link to Obama's quote?
That's why I posted it. I was hoping someone would track it down. Hopefully Rush's folks caught it.
I just found it on Rush's website, and it seems clear that he's calling folks like me, who contributed to Michael Steele's campaign, racists:
RUSH: -- while in New Hampshire. An unidentified reporter said to Barack Hussein Obama, "Is America ready for a black president?"
OBAMA: Are there some voters who would not vote for an African America candidate because of race? I'm sure there are. Those are the same voters who probably wouldn't vote for me because of my politics.
RUSH: Well, obviously this would be Republicans.
CALLER: That's right.

Here's a better link, I hope:

Here we go. All conservatives are racist.
Mr. Hannity has been a wonderful man to my Sister and brother in law who lost their son in Iraq.
He has had John Wrobloweski on both his radio and T,V, show a couple of times and flew them to crawford to confront cindy sheehan for using a grave marker with their sons name on it. Both Sahwn and John support our mission and president.
GOD bless you Marine Lieutenant J.T. Wrobloweski.
A real fine American kid. Like so many others to have been lost in this and so many othe wars.
Thanks
My Nephew was and is an American hero.
My nephew was and is an American hero. He died for us all.
Enlisted as a result of 9-11 like so many others.
A really good kid and had been married 6 months when he died.
His folks have 3 other boys and are pro American and back President Bush.
Buried at Arlington National with honors.
Wish I could just sit and have a beer with him every day.
And hug him.
Thanks
Why don't we call him "white". His mother was white.
If you saw him in the street and you didn't know anything about him, would you think he was a white guy? He looks black, not white.
Is this retard saying there are no white communists?
I took note of that as well. There are no intrepid reporters these days when it comes to race, feminism, "alternate lifestyles," immigration or other living-room PC elephants.
With the Democrat propaganda lineup of Hillary, Osama-Obama, Ickes, Carville, Begalla, Blumenthal, ad nauseum, you can bet the deck will be stacked with plenty of race cards. The elite guard talking heads are already manning the front lines: Bill Press, Susan Estrich, again ad nauseum. The campaign is already underway.
A tragedy for sure.
Best wishes and prayers to you and his family.
