Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
In March he gave a widely praised speech on the subject after receiving criticism over racially charged comments by his longtime pastor. Obama, who faces Republican John McCain in the November election, would be the first black U.S. president.

BO is a racist. He’s using his skin tone as his primary qualification to be elected president.

Yeah, how dare Republicans make an issue of his 20 year attraction to the racist filth of Rev Wright. For shame!
Obama is a racist POS. That is an issue in this campaign, whether the racist POS Obama wants it to be or not. No one forced him to be buddies with Rev Wright for 20 years. I guess it was the fault of Republicans that he displayed the good sense of a gang member on crack by being joined at the hip with Wright for 20 years. Yep, you should bear no responsibility for your lack of brains regarding the choice you made, and stuck with, for 20 years.
Aside from that, the Republicans are too "nice" to use your racism against you anyway, you sputtering, lying child.
This is a man that subscribes to the same type of propaganda that has been used by dictators throughout history. Lie/lie/lie and lie more and more, and make your lies so huge for so long that the idiots believe you when you lie straight to their faces. His ability to project his own racism onto others without batting an eyelash is truly something to behold. FOAD, you wretched piece of human waste!
I'll give the man credit for one thing: Chutzpah.
To: Laverne
The big question that has not been asked, certainly not by Russert and his colleagues, is how Barrack Obama can be seriously be considered for the Office of President with absolutely no Leadership experience what so ever.
This man has never been in any kind of position where he has led anyone. Never run a business, never been a Governor, never had any kind of job where he rose to any position of responsibility. Yet Americans are being asked to overlook this omission and put a man in the Office of President that has never been tested in any kind of situation where an important decision had to made.
Think of what disaster this might portend for this country with such and unknown as Obama is.
Comparisons are made with Kennedy, but at least Kennedy has served in the Military and had some life experiences that Obama lacks in every way.
Obama is a National Disaster waiting to happen and the mistakes he can and will make are ones that we as a country may not be able to live with or even survive.

There he goes scapegoating whitey again. It's not gonna be fun being a white minority in the Obamanation of America in a few years.

So black democrats don’t use race as a reason to vote for Hussein Obama???
They didn’t know a damn thing about the man but they were still going to support him only because he’s BLACK. That’s the race card.

“that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us,” he said.”
Is he bringing up McCain’s age again?
To: Laverne
Interesting ... I, as a conservative Republican, can disparage McPain for being a loose cannon RINO. If I level any criticism at Barak Hussein Obama I automatically fall into the bigot, white racist, category. My suggestion to Barry ... grow a skin pal.

Once again, I’ll point out that the only people talking about race are the DhimmiRats and other LibTards...
They should just shut up about race and gender and focus on solutions to the problems of the day that are properly the venue of government. Of course, if they do that, then they won’t have anything to say, at all.
Not a bad idea, all in all...

Yes, the Republicans will promise to work to SAVE the HUMAN RACE, while socialist Hussein will do all he can to denigrate and demoralize the same.
To: Laverne
he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him. Ah, otherwise, we'd never notice it?
This is merely the set up to keep people from criticizing him in any way - or risk getting charged with racism.
Many republicans in high places have been hounded out of their jobs by even a totally innocent or un-race related word or phrase.
This is just the Marxist modus operandi of silencing the opposition.
We MUST not fall for it.
Hey, Obama. You can't fool me. I know you're black. I have eyes. No one need point it out to me.
Your color is more important to you than to me. And you were chosen by your Marxist Puppeteers BECAUSE you are black.
It's your lack of experience, and what experience you do have being uber liberal, and your lack of judgment and the birds of a feather you choose to flock with, and your hatred of "white folk" and your empty head and and and and....
There are a pile of things to point out about you as ill equipped to be POTUS without ever pointing out the obvious: "OMG! Did you notice! He's - gulp - BLAAACCCCKKK!"
On the other hand, YOU, of course, and all your parishioners, are not going to trade on your color - and those 90% of blacks that are voting for you, most stating because you're black - that isn't racist, that ....ah well.

Why is it Obama is the one that consistently plays the race card? Because it's the only strategy he has.
If his father had been a typical white man, this guy would have had to fold a long time ago.
To: Laverne
Barry you are not black but rather a biracial Kenyan.
You used your Mulatto coloring to steal the designated affirmative action slots of Columbia and Harvard. These should have gone to real blacks that were descendants of slavery not the descendant of slave traders.
You use your half blackness to get all the black vote and to get the guilty white vote. There are far more guilty whites than racist whites and you know it.

Another savior metaphor? I guess this just shows exactly what is wrong with liberals. They need someone to "SAVE" them, instead of relying on themselves and their own hard work...
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost. - BARACK OBAMA, speech, Aug. 28, 2006
Still capitulating to others and pretending that only others give you the right to stake your claim. As if, your rights weren't God-given. As if you are still OWNED in some way shape or form by the powers that be (the gov't) - and this goes for ALL liberals of ALL colors/races/creeds!
This mentality is crazy! How is it that they even survive in their lives with an attitude like this?
