Obama doesn't have ‘race problem' — GOP does (Huh?)

Yeah, the party that has had "Condamnneesha" head of NSA and now State has a real race problem. But the party that calls her and Clarence Thomas and Colin Powell 'uncle toms' has no problems

[I see my hands]

To: Barack 12th Imam Obama

You stinking anti American bigot.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

My advice to McCain is this: Let the 2008 campaign be remembered as the one in which the GOP abandoned its Southern, red state strategy

In other words, don’t do what it takes to win..

To the author:

In 1997, Colin Powell could have had the Presidency with the simpple answer of Yes to the question of whether he was running as a Republican. Possibly a fifty state sweep. He decided not to run, but that is not the fault of the Republican party.

As far as race baiting goes, look to your Democrats as they have been doing it since 1865. Read some history before you put pen to paper.

[beethovenfan]

If BRRRRAACK Obama is a visionary, I sure don’t like his vision.

[fml]

America is still clearly not comfortable discussing race out in the open, and it becomes more glaring as each day goes by in this historic campaign for president of the United States.

Should read liberal America. So far the rest of us have stayed out of the fray

[org.whodat]

Don't read made up crap from the politico!

[cardinal4]

I cant believe I read everything posted. What a load of tripe..

[Toskrin]

First, I question the veracity of some of these “incidents”. And even if they are true, this handful of examples are tiny in comparision to the endless race and identity politics of the Dems.

[Niteranger68]

Obama does have a race problem. He’s ashamed of his whiteness.

[SmithL]

Conservatives aren’t going to vote for anyone as liberal as either Hillary or Obama.

Obama’s problem will be getting the Robert Byrd wing of his own party to vote for him.

People like the author of this piece are unfortunately typical supporters of leftist victimology. It is not the responsibility of blacks or hispanics or whatever to study issues and candidates. It is the responsibility of the candidate to provide a gimme to get their vote. Muslim organizations are using the same tactic. It is not their fault that Islam is not looked upon favorably. It is the fault of non-Muslims for not accepting the BS they dish out.

[SF Republican]

I guess us angry white men cannot claim that title any longer.

[MrB]

You can be guaranteed that McCain has no plans to “do what it takes” to win -

he might as well just hand the election to Obama as soon as (if) he gets the nomination,

otherwise, running against the black man is just being racist.

[rockinqsranch]

She’s prejudiced against 800lb. Elephants. Very depressing. Where’s Congress on this?

[Free ThinkerNY]

This moron apparently enjoys being on the DemonRat Plantation. Jim Crow laws were instituted and enforced by Democrats. Senator Byrd Turd was a Grand Kleagle in the KKK. Who knows how many blacks were lynched and terrorized while he was helping to run the show?

[Abathar]

"Democrats would be committing political suicide with black voters by denying him the nomination at the national convention Aug. 25-28 in Denver."

Yep, and they call us racist but if things really get ugly in Denver how many cities will riot? LA burned over the Rodney king beating, this will be seen by a lot of people if he loses the primary as even a bigger smack down, even if it was a fair vote.

Yes, if Barack is denied then this place could go up like a tinderbox, even though it is their own party that is doing it to them. Maybe I will use my free money the Government is going to mail me to stock up on some ammo, you know, just in case.

[eureka!]

What tripe. I guess Sophia hadn’t heard the Sink Emperor, Bob Kerrey or Ferraro’s comments. *shaking head*

“While I do not count Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) out of the race, Obama is leading in pledged delegates, and Democrats would be committing political suicide with black voters by denying him the nomination at the national convention Aug. 25-28 in Denver.”

In other words she believes most blacks vote based on the color of a candidates skin, by race. I wonder if blacks are really as racist as she thinks?

By 1972, Nixon and his aides understood clearly that they had to attract the “Wallace voters” to the GOP fold (segregationist Gov. George Wallace of Alabama in 1968 carried his home state and Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi). Through this “Southern strategy,” Nixon and his campaign aides used race as a wedge issue in national elections to swing traditionally Democratic voters (e.g., blue-collar, white working-class citizens) to the GOP.

If the GOP was the party of racism, how come when Wallace won 5 southern states in the 1968 presidental election as an independent, Nixon, the Republican, still won the election? It's because Wallace, the independent, took votes away from Humphrey, the Dem, not Nixon. Nixon, BTW, was the one who honored Rosa Parks.
