Can someone please explain to me why a vote against Marxism or socialism or anyone else who is so into Saul Alinsky’s philosophy considered racism?

[quintr]

What Karl Marx said was that if you distributed all the wealth and goods in a culture to everyone, within five years there would be a lower and an upper class.

Man, this was a great ad if people are still talking about it! good grief...I thought it was a one day and out ad.

Keep chipping away McCain!

Maybe Obama will do something good—by showing that blacks have more race hate than whites. He is becoming more desperate—in the end he will have only the race card to play in his bid to gain the White House. I believe he will implode but—we must do all we can to make sure this crypto-Commie does not win.

Accusations of racism is the bludgeon the left is going to use to force socialism on this country. Far seeing people have been predicting this for 143 years, but most of us were too busy to heed them.

According to the media consensus, then, Sen. Obama was not playing the race card when he wrongly accused Sen. McCain of commenting on his looks ....

Even 44% of AFRICAN AMERICANS believe that Obama comment was racist:

Obama’s comment that his Republican opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like all the other presidents on dollar bills ...... 53% of white voters saw it as racist, as did 44% of African-Americans and 61% of all other voters.

Mitchell is not just a liar, she is so full of herself because she thinks she's now cute and hot. She actually bats her eyes. I think this pose is a la' Hillary's pose- which is a la' Princess Di. Ugh.

[Polybius]

Any intelligent person who is not an ideologue can recognize that Obama is an empty suit. He has a good speaking voice and reads a fully prepared speech well but there is no substance at all to him. If he were white he would ......

..... be a joke on The Simpsons.

These folks are just making things up as they go along. There’s nothing racist about that commercial. The Obama supporters are losing it.

[popdonnelly]

May MSNBC and CNN have the tiniest possible audience. They’ve earned it.

CNN & MSNBC obviously don't think it's important that John Edwards has a child with another woman while his wife is battling cancer (remember their outrage at Newt Gingrich). But, they didn't mind 'reporting' that John McCain 'might' be having an affair with a lobbyist which showed up on the front page of the NYT's.

No, there is no bias in the MSM, none whatsoever. /s

[ballplayer]

good one

[Oldpuppymax]

Should the Obamessiah lose (from my lips to gods ear) our straight-arrow media will use the fact as evidence that its coverage was indeed not biased, contrary to the vile accusations of the right. And of course, the nation and the world will have proof positive that the American people are hopelessly racist. Naturally we will be treated to the obligatory demonstrations/rioting in major cities across the land. What better excuse to upgrade a home entertainment center than 24/7 complaints of grossly unfair treatment at the hands of whitey! So count on Olbermann and company to blame white America for its abject failure to right centuries of wrongs by selfishly refusing to permit a Marxist, America-hating, ignorant, unaccomplished, egomaniacal, unqualified empty suit to endanger the nation and its citizens. The self-interested bigots!

[TASMANIANRED]

Elitist think that mentioning the race of murderers is racist.

They also think reporting facts are racist.

[TASMANIANRED]

Frankly, I thought all the guys on money were green.

[Force of Truth]

Let’s put it this way, after Sen. Barack Obama falsely accused Sen. John McCain of saying he (Obama) doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency and has a funny name...

Nobody ever said that, it seems that Berry The Messiah is very unsure of himself to have to make a statement like that. He claimed that he was not playing the race card, so I wonder if the Messiah meant that he did not look like the other Presidents, because he has those goofy ears and dopey smile?

[Force of Truth]

Good point. Lol.

[tobyhill]

The way Andrea Mitchell keeps defending Obama and making his talking points for him I wouldn't doubt if they have a little action between them two.
