Our own private opinion (mega barf alert, We are all racist don cha know!)
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 9/7/2008 | Dick Polman

Posted on 09/07/2008 2:59:57 PM PDT by Pharmer

Let us swing the door ajar and invite the elephant into the room. One big reason why Barack Obama is locked in a tight race, rather than easily outdistancing his opponent, is because he is black.

(snip)

Union organizers in the key state of Michigan complain in the press that, as one puts it, “we’re all struggling to some extent with the problem of white workers who will not vote for Obama because of his color.” An aging mine electrician in Kentucky is quoted elsewhere as saying, “I won’t vote for a colored man. He’ll put too many coloreds in jobs.” An elderly woman in a New Jersey hair salon is overheard complaining about Barack and Michelle the other day, about how blacks supposedly have larger bones than whites, and about how she’s fleeing America if Obama wins. A Republican operative confesses in New York magazine that Obama’s race “is the thing that nobody wants to talk about, but it’s obviously a huge factor.”

And every once in awhile, an Obama critic will find a way to inject race into the dialogue, under the guise of doing no such thing. Consider the semi-coherent wordplay of Georgia Republican congressman Lynn Westmoreland, who said last Thursday that Barack and Michelle are “a member of an elitist class individual that thinks that they’re uppity.” Given the fact that “uppity” has been recognized for generations as a racially-loaded perjorative, a reporter asked Westmoreland whether he really intended to use that word. The congressman’s reply: “Uppity, yeah.” Hours later, Westmoreland insisted that he didn’t think the word was racially loaded - thereby becoming perhaps the first segregationist-era southerner (he was raised near Atlanta during the ‘50s) ever to attempt such a ludicrous claim.

Sorry to post Polman's garbage but this guy is an idiot. Hey Dick keep it up! The more you whine about this the more you will turn off white voters. We are not racist we're are anti-communist! And for myself I will not vote for a man who anoints himself as God and then has his croneys say that is we critisize him we are bigots!

Not exactly!

The only reason he IS in the race IS because he IS black

Well then, why won't they vote for McPain/Palin?

Are they sexists?

Are they RACISTS also because they are both WHITE?

What's the story with them?

Are they aware of what plagiarist, Martin Luther King came up with ... it's about the content of their character and not the COLOR OF THE SKIN?

Without a doubt, racism is a big factor in this election, and might even affect its outcome.

I’m talking about BLACK racism: the undisputed fact that a huge number of blacks are voting for O-boy ONLY because of the color of his skin.

On the other hand, conservatives have already proven that we’re neither racist nor sexist. Look at the blinding speed with which we went in the tank for a female candidate.

It would have been exactly the same for a black candidate*, a Hispanic candidate, or a blue Martian candidate with pink polka-dots.

PROVIDED they are CONSERVATIVE.

*for example if I say “Clarence Thomas”, what is your first reaction? Embrace or run?

Already readying the excuse for his defeat. Mean old white guys (and gals) clinging to religion and guns who won’t vote for a black man. It’s going to get even more insane after the election. The libs and leftists are going to pop a cork.

the only voters basing their vote on his race are the RATS since we weren't going to vote for him anyway, so they can't pin this on on us...

Ridiculous. The only reason that this anti-American communist is even in contention is that he IS black. It’s called “white guilt” and this is the motivation of most liberals and even some naive conservatives.

So, if 98% of blacks vote for Obama, are they racist because they won’t vote for the white candidate?

Keep in mind that all this talk about “if Obama loses it’s because he’s black” has to do with Democrat voters. Most of us here at Free Republic will not vote for Obama for the same reasons we did not vote for Kerry, Gore, Clinton, etc. It’s that liberal record thing.

RE: Black Racism - you are exactly right. The only racism that exists in this race is that speyed daily by the Democratic Party.

They cannot stand we won’t vote for him because he is a lying fraud of a Socialist.

I agree, See obama should not expect republicans to vote for him, so it wil be the democrats that do not vote for obama that causes obama to lose, and it is the democrats that are racist, the democrats that think that african americans cannot make it in the US without democrat handouts, the democrats that still have a KKK member in the senate, the democrats that voted to keep slavery the democrats that voted against civil rights

Obvioulsy the writer was going for satire here. I mean how much of an idiot would you have to be too actually believe what he wrote?
The truth is if Obama WAS NOT BLACK he would not be polling out of the teens. In fact if he had been wite he would not gotten close to beating Hillary Clinton.
A 44 year old with minamal life accomlishments and zero qualifications to be President running on a socialist agenda and he is actually tied with a bona fide HERO and long time public servant? Come on you are not fooling anyone. These liberal apologist will be out from now until 4 years down the road for the next election bitchin and whining about Obama losing only because he was black.

The only problem conservatives have is appointing and supporting experienced and competent blacks to high offices.

Clarence Thomas would spin Obama into outer space were the two ever to have a debate.

How many Black Secretary’s of State did Clinton “the Black President” appoint?

When the Democrats do not do as they say, they try to paint those who do promote blacks as racists.
