So, I guess having a job is a code word for “white”.

Like Bill Clinton’s being “the first black president.” “Black” is code for “trash.”

What is going to happen is that anyone who does not vote for Obambi is going to be called a racist.
Liberals are just falling all over themselves for this guy because he’s black. That’s truly racist. He isn’t qualified.
Yelling “racist” or “bigot” at voters who aren’t going to vote for him anyway is just going to polarize the entire presidential race and alienate people who might have voted for Obambi even more.
They can’t help themselves. The race issue is going to take center stage because it has been center stage in American culture and life for over 40 years. The politically correct culture, and we all remember Bill Clinton’s national discussion on race in the 90’s, is going to come to head and those who pound others daily with the cries of “bigot” are going to find massive deafness on the part of those who are thoroughly sick of it.
Most people operate on good will and calling them names because they disagree is a losing tactic. But, again, the liberals and their media shills cannot help themselves.

This is truly hilarious, watch for Hillary ‘Sheets’ Clinton, to say in her ‘last shriek’ address to her constituents; “Working class (wink wink nudge nudge) today, working class tomorrow, working class FOREVER!”

The irony is the media can make statements all day long such as, “Obama is expected to well in those areas of the state with a heavy African American population” and that has nothing to do with race. But if Hillary points out that she is winning the white vote (albiet not by the 92% that Obama wins the black vote by) and it is somehow a racist statement.
Not that I have any sympathy for the Hildabeast.

Hill - it won’t happen. The left and its publishing arm, the media, has chosen Obama because he is more leftist than you, a committed marxist.
To: NavVet
Exactly what I was going to say. If she’s racist for recognising her support base then he is vastly more so.

Simple actually - "liberals" claim that racism can only be white.
They do not seem to notice that this "liberal" definition of "racism" is itself utterly racist. Socialist vicious circle of propaganda just continues to roll...

And they will pamper and flatter Obama to the limit (if one exists, actually). Every stupidity and clumsy pomposity would be treated as "Mr. Cool"'s another "coolest" thing. Every scumbag move as a symbol of the "superior" political skill. And so forth.

I was just wondering out loud the other day, when we’d start hearing about conservatives being racists again. I figured they’d wait until they had a nominee (maybe they think they do now).
If Obama loses, it will turn into 4 years of “McCain won because of racists whites”

98% of black people vote for Obama = No Racism But 65% of white people vote for Hillary = RACISM.

We must get beyond racism—Its not about Black or white. There are lots of Blacks Conservatives would vote for—Condi Rice, Bill Cosby, Colin Powell to name a few. The truth is Obama if a FOOL. I don’t want an inexperience knucklehead in the Oval Office black or white.

Wow, never thought about the CoZ as a candidate.

Those are "fighting words" and I wouldn't stand for anything to even insinuate it of me. It would bring out the worst in me...

Maybe Black Americans will finally get a clue that the Democrat Party is, was, and always will be, the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow laws, the party of the KKK, the party of poverty and government dependency, etc., etc.
Right now they don't recognize that Obama, et al, are no better than the Hillary types. There's still hope.

Bigot will be affixed on you like the scarlet letter.Yes, I suppose that's true. But it's not fixed on the person who said Bill Clinton was "black" because he was illegitimate, promiscuous, dishonest, gluttonous, and so on. Life is weird.
It would have been more accurate if I'd said, "Black, in that context, is code for "trash."
