A new AP-Yahoo News poll finds that white Democrats’ resistance to voting for a black man for President could cost Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama the White House: Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them “lazy,” “violent” or responsible for their own troubles. The poll, conducted with Stanford University, suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 — about two and one-half percentage points.

The Democrats and their media allies are turning to a new, desperate, and very dangerous tactic. Rush talked about it on Friday, but he missed the mark. Rush said that Democrats are preparing the argument that racism was to blame when 0bama loses. It is, in my view, a far more dangerous strategy than that.
What Democrats are actually doing is setting the table for holding America hostage on election day. 0bama and his surrogates are race-baiting in order to agitate minorities in what will be the final tense days of the election. There will be an outright threat of racial violence and rioting if 0bama loses made in the final 48 to 72 hours. The goal is to intimidate America into voting for 0bama or face the consequences, much like the OJ Simpson jury was faced with finding OJ not guilty or watching LA burn.
Rush didn’t take his hypothesis to its natural, obvious conclusion. This is not about having an excuse the day after. This is about making a threat the day before.
PATHETIC!
RACISM will be used to keep the polls open in Philly, St. Louis and other urban areas on election night.
How about addressing the issues Obama.. The Race Card is not going to fly this time in America, especially by someone who was raised by at “typical” white Grandmother.
Obama will lose because of his liberal, militant extreme- left wing ideas .. period. the racism card has been overplayed too much by those who profess themselves the cure to Racism.
He sounds like he is in charge of applying the analytical sauce to the raw results. based on his wording, he got the survey answers he wanted, one way or another.
Motivated by Racism against Obama? I don't think so.
Too bad Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, et al aren’t running for president!
BTTT
Oh here we go.
If you didn’t vote for Hilary you’re a sexist.
If you don’t vote for Obama you’re a racist.
they are going to try to guilt some voters into supporting him, even if their reasons for not voting for him are his marxist ways.
It’s hard to believe that so many good Democrats could have racist views. Here we have been lectured how Republicans are racist and bigoted, that it’s Republicans who have these view, while good Democrats want to celebrate diversity.
Reparations does not include the US presidency.
Off the table.
Only a racist would cry racism about this.
I agree with the poll, but for entirely opposite reasons:
Some blue color dems have given blacks a chance already and seen it blow up in their faces: Kwame Kilpatrick, Deval Patrick, William Jefferson, Charlie Rangel to name a few.
I think they are saying to themselves: “I don’t have to vote for Obama JUST because he’s black. Been there, done that.”
No doubt there are racists out there. But the kind of person who wouldn’t vote for a 1/2 black man probably wouldn’t vote for a woman either.
So they’re up the proverbial excrement creek this time around.
