I didn't call him a racist. I just said he might be.
And as for you, how do I know you're just a plain ole American? For all I know, you might be a handsome young Guatemalan. Or not.
Well, consider that post-Monica Bill Clinton had something like a 66% approval rating. So you tell me.
I think the phrase was intended to contrast the half with the 100%, not imply anything negative as to Barry-O’s racial makeup,
I read it like saying, “He may be only half-black, but he’s 100% Marxist.”
I note that the “he’s not ‘black’ enough argument has been a prior point levvied against Barry-O from some on the Left, and if that’s a remark at all tinged with racism, it is a “reverse” sort of racism of a “black on half-white” nature, not the white-on-black variety that is the Left’s usual favorite. The bottom line on that, though, is that Barry-O’s being half-black has been fronted as a strike against Obama by some on the Left, not by Conservatives.
So, I’d reword the phrase something like this:
“Being half-black may make him ‘not black enough’ for some Americans, but being 100% Marxist makes him too far left for any Americans.”
Are you really this myopic and self-loathing?
Amazing!
Knock yourself out... What a waste!
Tell me again what’s “racist” about stating the fact that another “black candidate” is not actually black? The point of this statement is the overt fraud in the suggestion that Obama is a “black” candidate. Just as his entire campaign is based on fraudulent facts.
This author made Obama’s campaign a “black” campaign about race? Or was it Obama, his wife, his church, his friends, his rhetoric, his past and the 92% of the black community who is voting for him on the color of his skin?
Amazing? The author is a racist?
According to Marx and his NAACP, yes. These are the conservative values you are promoting?
Thank GOD!
Well said!
That's why I never call it "Universal Healthcare." I always call it "mandatory government imposed healthcare rationing," which is more accurate, as can be easily demonstrated by looking at the experience of any country that actually has it.
Link that poll please...
Hope you’re right!
Oh, I think enough people will figure it out that McCain will win in the end. I’m certainly planning on holding my nose and voting for him. But it’s always harder to get enough people to go out and vote AGAINST somebody than FOR somebody. It’s no surprise that Americans act more stupid when you give them a choice between two people they don’t like. If you give them better choices you’d see them acting a lot less dumb I think.
You’re not brain-dead corpse!
So, how do we hunker down and protect ourselves on an individual basis? It looks like a majority is in the throes of the empty promise of free health care and is poised to inflict the socialist nightmare on us - a la Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
So, you expect American voters to remove the 89% of congress they disagree with and replace them with conservatives this fall?
Hope you’re right!
See my Post # 51. I agree with you. I think it’s a rhetorical device. But don’t point that out to Plain ole American. To in any way comment on the style of the story, as opposed to its content, is to leave yourself open to attack.
Hard to tell, isn’t it...
BRAVO!
Remember how close the Reagan race was in 1980, despite a disastrous Carter term? I'd like to think American's are smarter than they appear, but it's tough finding any evidence of that these days.
I read here and there that Obama is 50% white and the other half is mostly Arabian.
I've read that he would not even qualify as full, half or perhaps even quarter black under the unfortunate but standard mathematical formula applied in the history of the South in the 1800's.
If this is true, and I'm just asking, posing himself as more black than he is and saying he would be the "first black president" is fraudulent and a lie.
However, I suppose everyone in the media is loathe to investigate, verify and disseminate any such information for fear the Obama offense team would crush to a pulp any "racist" daring to even touch the subject.

Conservatives shouldn’t sleep a wink without securing control of the senate this fall first... No matter who the next president is, we are going to need control of the senate to block the WH, the House and the courts...
Are they stupid?
Clinton 1
Clinton 2
Any other questions?
POA hates wasting energy on those hung up on symbolism over substance... especially when they use left-wing talking points in that process.
What a waste...
That's good. I like that.
