Obama Surrogates Claim Race is Factor in Voting (Not Voting for Obama is Racist, Unpatriotic)
WYTV ^ | Monday, September 15, 2008

Posted on 09/15/2008 8:08:36 PM PDT by kristinn

Monday afternoon, state Representatives Bob Hagan of Youngstown and Tom Letson of Warren met with reporters.

They argue many voters who call themselves "Democrats" or "Independents", but won't vote for Obama, have only one excuse, with Letson saying, "I would say that a lot of it is they're not going to vote for 'the black guy'".

Hagan called the issue "unpatriotic," adding those not willing to vote for Obama need "to face that fact. That that's not acceptable in America."

Both men say they will work to convince those "swing voters" to change their minds between now and election day.

There is only one candidate who will receive fully 93% of an identifiable group of voter. The 93 percenters won't be white. The 93 percenters won't be women. The 93 percenters won't be hispanic. The 93 percenters won't be men.

Who will be left to engage in voting for a candidate because that candidate is a member of their group?

Notice how Team Obama is trying to resurrect WHITE GUILT, which gave him some support in the beginning. Sorry, the bloom is off the rose.

Great way to get me to vote for the “magic negro’. Call me an unpatriotic racist.
No way, no how will I vote for a socialist.

It sounds to me like it is the democrats who are the racists, but I think we all knew that already.
