Johnny Telvor was not happy about Barack Obama becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. Not happy at all. Standing outside the sturdy courthouse in the sweltering heat of a West Virginia afternoon in the small town of Williamson, Telvor smoked a cigarette and bluntly gave his opinion of Obama's historic mission to be America's first black president. 'We'll end up slaves. We'll be made slaves just like they was once slaves,' he said. Telvor, a white Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton in West Virginia's primary, said he planned to vote for Republican John McCain in November. 'At least he's an American,' he added with a disarmingly friendly smile.

“The Progessive/Liberal/Socialists are gonna waaaay overplay the race card this election.”
It is going to be ridiculous by the time it is over.
Look for re-plays of every movie ever made about racism all over the channels soon.
Every report on racism from the 60’s and 70’s to be re-played and endless articles on racsism from the MSM.
It is all so predictable....sadly.
But if Hillary or Bill were the nominee he’d vote for them. That’s my point. They’re idiots.
If you are white, and mistrust a black (one time supposed) muslim, you are racist.
Couldn’t be you don’t trust them or their religion, no, you must hate black people.
If you're in Europe, kindly tell these folks to leave our hillbillies alone.
The man was not asked what he meant.I believe he may have meant Obama would give whites what he considers their due for ever owning slaves here. From some of Obama's quotes in his book "Dreams of My Father", that sounds likely.
As for the older man who said he would sit out because he could not vote for Obama and his father/grandfather would turn over in the grave if he voted Republican, is typical of many generational southern Dems. They just cannot get it into their minds that southern Repubs are about where southern Dems were in earlier generations
The Guardians posting of Obama's policies sounded pretty good---BUT IT IS JUST RHETORIC. He hasn't yet told us what the meaning of "is" is.
Any questioning, much less criticism, will be labeled racism.
vaudine
....”The United States, they have argued, is finally prepared to elect a black president and absolve its historic sins of slavery and Jim Crow.”
....that’s how a lot of self hating whites see it....they figure a vote for Obama is absolution for their whiteness....I wish I could tell them what happened in ‘84 when Charlotte voters put an inexperianced black man in the mayor’s office....his true colors finally came out when he flipped a minority carve-out broadcast license.
You’d better vote for Obama or else you’re a racist.
Hail the Messiah! (Sarc)
i luv it!
hillary to the rescue.
hillary drinking beer and booze to please the white racists.
lol!
“Folks like this are why we end up with the Jimmy Carter’s and Bill Clinton’s we get, as well as a majority of idiots in Congress elected over and over again. “
Disagree. This “country boy” can see straight through the liberals’ plan to return us to servitude.
We are deeply distrustful of a black president who is a Marxist Democrat
“Look for re-plays of every movie ever made about racism all over the channels soon.”
....funny you should mention it....I’ve noticed “To Kill a Mockingbird” popping up recently.
I disagree with calling them idiots. For many generations the backwoods people of WV worked for primarily “Republican” coal mine owners who disregarded safety and working conditions. As a result, these people became hard core Dems and unionists. Much of that has changed now, but since GOP was synonymous with “coal boss” for so long, there is still a lot of distrust. For Obama to override that distrust shows how extreme he is.
That will be the spin. Count on it.
We should start a list of those types of movies being played in the next 6 months....LOL
Typical Marxist/socialist propaganda. The writer ignores that over 90% of blacks are voting for OBama.
Yep. They’ll say “America wasn’t ready”.
Obama is a LOUSY nominee. It’s insulting in the extreme to imply that Obama’s racist pastor, terrorist pal, lack of experience, communist friends, leftwing record, lack of accomplishments, and corrupt behavior arent enough to away from him.
YEP....the “Wilder” effect I think it’s called will probably be huge this election - pollsters will report people WILL vote for Obama....but, they just don’t want to “appear” racist to the stupid pollster who would report it that way, soooo...they say, “YES” they WILL vote FOR Obama....only to NOT vote for Obama in the general....
