Hitting what is likely to be a media refrain in the general election, Bloomberg News Service reporter Heidi Przybyla dredged up the outdated "Archie Bunker" character to imply that white people who refuse to support Barack Obama do so out of racial animus.

"Barack Obama is having trouble with Archie Bunker. [...] The state's white voters aren't 'bigots, but the image they see every day of black America is drugs, crime, guns and violence," she begins, quoting a Cleveland-area Obama supporter.

They're not racists of course. Although reading Przybyla's story you'd be hard-pressed to think otherwise:

If Hispanic voters vote against Obama, are they racists too?

[tennteacher]

Absurd, divisive, and transparent attempt to encourage guilt-voting. Also insults the average voter, creating an ‘us’ and ‘them’ mentality.

Nope, the fact that he’s a socialist like John Kerry, Walter Mondale, or George McGovern has nothing to do with my opposition. </snark>

Blah Blah Blah...Bloomberg is a first class mo-ron, who cares what the man has to say?

"...the image they see every day of black America is drugs, crime, guns and violence..."

And, the only one man enough to talk about it is Bill Cosby...maybe I'll vote for him.

Pity poor Harry. His days are numbered. He used to be a mushy moderate with a voting record not all that different from Arlen Specter or John McCain. Then he became the majority leader and felt he had to serve the party's moonbat base.

The more he does so, the more he alienates the mushy middle who elected him. He could do the right thing and lead his party back to the center, but he lacks the spine for doing so. Therefore, he will continue to kow-tow to the ultraleft moonbats until:
(a)The party leadership dump him for someone even further left such as Obama or (b)His constituents dump him for someone who will actually represent them rather than the moonbats.

My money is on (a) happening before (b). Wouldn't it be poetic justice? Old Harry is a disgrace to his office.

Sorry, I got Blooming Idiot Bloomberg confused with Blooming Idiot Harry Reid. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the difference.

They thought everyone would hate Archie but Americans loved him. So they tried to mitigate the damage by turning the charactor into a bleading heart liberal in the last season and everyone turned him off.

[crazydad]

I am not racist but I dont want a black or white commie mooslim sympathizer in the white house. PERIOD!!!!!!

[SaintDismas]

All I can see is a man who would strangle an infant in his crib. IOW, it’s just ok with him to toss as so much gabage a baby who was just aborted but just wont cooperate and die like he’s suppose to.

[FreedomPoster]

So predictable.
