Prominent Democratic Governor Finds Racism in Palin's Comments on Obama
Foxnews ^ | 9/10/2008 | Brit Hume

New York Governor David Paterson says Sarah Palin's criticism of Barack Obama's time as a community organizer is racially charged. Paterson said Tuesday, "There are overtones of potential racial coding in this campaign. I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama 'black'... but you can take something about his life... a community organizer. They kept saying it, they kept laughing."

He said such language is "designed to inhibit other people's progress with a subtle reference to their race."

The McCain camp says Palin's criticism of Obama's community organizer days was not racist but was in response to Obama's belittling of her executive experience.

“And I wouldn’t exactly call him a “prominent” governor since ...”

The media is the DNC’s public relations committee. Remember when they called Mrs. Obama ‘glamorous’ in every article? Talk about a joke.

I am very concerned that registered community activists may not swing back to the RNC.

.

New York state and Pennsylvania and the “Rust Belt” states like Michigan and Illinois will die under an Obama-democrat Socialist party agenda:

- No USA oil from offshore
- No coal
- No natural gas
- No nuclear power

Without a fast infusion of existing American energy sources those areas will lose more corporations, jobs, population

The unions can believe all the “GREEN alternative energy” BS that would have been used long ago if it was practical and profitable -

Barack Hussein Obama Junior, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid have no intention of turning on the tap of conventional energy sources that have worked for over a century - or nuclear which has proven to be safe and cheap for over half a century

But then Nancy Pelosi was buying up stocks while fighting against oil, coal , nuclear......

And she made a ton of money

Clean, bright, and eloquent, too.

But I think this is just, “False outrage.”

This would be the “Governor by default”, right?

As I understand it, Pontius Pilate was a governor.

If you call Paterson governor, does that mean you are comparing him to Pontius Pilate?

And Jimmah Cotter, too.

Apparently we white people have a lot of racist code words we’er not even aware of. Perhaps we should just not say anything, which I’m beginning to think is the point.

That would be because you PEOPLE (black democrat politicians) seem to be some of the most arrogant and thin skinned weaklings on the PLANET.

What a bunch of hooey! It has nothing to do with race. Was Saul Alinsky black? “Community organizing” is a socialist scam.

We don’t like socialists. The color of their skin has nothing do with it.

...the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama 'black'...

Well no wonder, he's not black...more of a mocha-brown color.

Get out your ear lugs while I give a primordial screeeeeaaamm!

This gov. is black(politician) and therefore a racist. That is the only forte most black politicians have--the race and victim card.

Why cannot blacks admire people like Clarence Thomas instead of Jackson, Sharpton, and like con men?

This is yet another example of an afro-centric afreeking-American who is blinded by color (he can't see the forest for the trees).

His feel for braille is quite good though, I'm sure, as is his "feel" for women other than his wife.

What a TYPICAL liberal black turd.

The "good" (but, perhaps, not smart) people of New York traded one scumbag for another.
