Nothing like pouring gasoline on the fire ...

Riots, guaranteed.

Ya Gotta love those Democrat campaign slogans. “Vote For Obama Or Die!”

[PhilosopherStones]

Ask yourself this: What happens when the Detriot Pistons WIN?

Whatever happens, it’s gonna be ugly.

[Parley Baer]

I will tell you one thing I will not be putting up with any nonsense in my neighborhood. I will be protecting “the hood”.

[Finatic]

America is more than ready for a black president.

NObama just isn’t that person.

[AmericanMade1776]

I would rather have Obama lose and a few riots than have him in the Oval Office..bring it on, bring it on.

[Crim]

*SIGH*

I’m clearly gonna need more ammo...cuz barry is going down faster than a clinton intern...

Melvin Thomas, a professor at North Carolina State University and past president of the Association of Black Sociologists, said black response to the election likely will depend on “how African-Americans will see a vote against Mr. Obama.

It will be spun as racism no matter how clear the evidence that it wasnt.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh! Wow! I’ll *have* to vote for 0 now!!!!

/extreme sarcasm

[2banana]

Two words...grazing fire

I’m listening to the Rusty Humphries Show and he just had an author on who said the next name to pay attention to as far as an Obama connection is:

Mike Klonsky

It sounded like he was going to come out with something on Monday.

Not sure it will amount to anything, just passing it along.

Some should tell 'em the real racists are Democrats. They are all formally for Obama but are working behind the scenes to ensure he never gets elected President.

[Clioman]

In the immortal words of Bush #43, “Bring it on.”

[SaintDismas]

YEAH!!! Condi, J.C, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, on and on and on. Just not this guy, no way, no how.

[3AngelaD]

Oh, no. Just when H Street, NE in DC is finally being rebuilt after the ‘68 riots.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Hey if America aint yer cup o tea, you can always go back to Afreeka. Cerially, if it's that bad why stay?

[johnnycap]

Hey, this is a shout out to all my peeps out there keeping it real:

NEWSFLASH: Showing up in a suit and with a shave and speaking correctly does not ENTITLE you to the job. Those are the minimum requirements to sit in the waiting room with the rest of us.

There is so much that is RACIST about that article I don’t know where to begin. Oh I know, I’ll start my own political party with 13% of the population of which over half have felonies on their record and aren’t allowed by US law to vote. Smart thinking.

[GonzoGOP]

If its close, or God forbid an electoral/popular split like Bush-Gore then yes the nation will burn. If this is a repeat of Regan-Mondale then no. They can't blame Dibold for a 10 point beating. Also if its big they will know they are getting beat well in advance. There will be a lot of shouting but not the riots that come from the rumors of being cheated.

One other thing is that this year the conservatives would fight for Sarah. Plain and simple the riots would find themselves in contested streets. The Marines and the NRA vs Gang Bangers and Code Pink. Once it gets started It's going to be a lot less fun then the bomb throwers think.
