Don’t know if it’s exactly “racist,” but it sure was redneck. And not funny.

I don't think John knows what SATIRE is. He has to be so politically correct, that's why he'll lose. He just sounds like Bob Dole to people, no guts, no conviction, no glory.

If McCain’s campaign could respond this fast more often, he might still have a chance to win.

Meanwhile, an 0bama blogger was praised and applauded by the Urban League and the NAACP for the highly creative but satirical column, "WhatEVER You Do on November 4th, Do NOT Vote for that White MF!"
