Oh fer the luvva...

We need to turn this junk to our advantage. Obama is demonstrably AGGRAVATING racial tensions in this country. He’s more divisive than any Klan member could have ever dreamed to be.

Uniter my hairy butt. He’s turned this campaign away from any real issues and made it *totally* about race from their point of view.

I usually avoid threads with those photos. In this case your use of them is fitting. Barack Obama and his supporters can go to hell.

It's a good thing that Bill Clinton never said "I didn't have sex with that one... Ms. Lewinsky," or he'd have been in a whole lot of trouble.

Clinton said "that woman." Would it have been better for McCain had he said "that man" instead?

This is nothing but trying to gin up some outrage to have something to talk about.

"Regardless of intent, it showed Senator McCain to be culturally ignorant, and completely unaware of the implications of what his off-the-cuff statement meant to people of colour," he wrote.

Let's translate: we don't care who you are, what you are trying to say, how you say it or how you clarify your remarks after the fact. We are convinced before the fact that we don't like your politics and therefore we will take every opportunity to call you a racist rather than debate the merits of your ideas. We have far more invested in the racial-offense business than we do in the stock market and therefore we will continue to see racial chimeras everywhere.

"Whether Senator McCain meant it that way or not, if you are a person of colour, and someone trots out the 'that one' remark, you instantly take it as racist. I know that I did."

And when a brotha calls another brotha a moff..., they take it as a statement of reality.

Well, of course. Some people spend their whole lives looking for reasons to be offended.

So what. Some of us simply don’t care anymore. I’m tired of the racialist crap...

This surprises me too. Incidentally, while watching the debate, I didn't even notice that Obama was black until near the very end of it ... I was concentrating on what was being said by both candidates, not what they looked like.

Obviously there are some on the other side of the aisle who only look at the color of one's skin rather than the content of their character.

If a black person mentions racism most white immediately go apoplectic trying to prove that they are not.
And most black people know that and many of them use it as a trump card. The weaker the person the more often they use it.

Everything is racist.

OT- Turn in Hannity’s radio show now. He brought on Corsi to discuss Obama/Odinga. Corsi has evidence Obama advised Odinga how to win, use riots, violence- also McCain/Palin interview in latter part to dicuss Ayers, Wright, more. BRAVO, SHAWN!!

From 1963
‘45 Current Communist Goals’ (to overtake U.S)http://www.alanburkhart.com/CommunistGoals.html

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
http://www.alanburkhart.com/CommunistGoals.html

Obama- Disarm America:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs
“First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals”

Other goals from ‘45 Communist goals’ to overtake the U.S:
http://www.alanburkhart.com/CommunistGoals.html

(Isn’t it frightening how many have already occured?)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
(The Communist party of the U.S. avidly supports Obama- as does every Communist, Communist country, terrorist in the world.)

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
(It apparently has taken over the Dem party)

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.(apparently Communist controlled)

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
(ditto)

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
(The libs have done this. They’re responsible for the cesspool the U.S has become)

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
(the Libs have done this)

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
(The Libs with the help of ACLU and CAIR are wiping out Christianity)

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
(ditto)

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
(Obama, “The constitution is a living document..”
Seeks to distort, change to suit Communist goals)

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
( Obama: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/obamas_civilian_national_secur.html)

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
(Libs are all for this- encourage, promote)

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
(Obama youth camps and ‘mandatory service to the government’
Frightening.)

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.

Obama is running for a hostile takeover of the US on behalf of the anti-American international community. His plan is quite plainly to rape and pillage America’s wealth, and redistribute it to the rest of the world. His speech was brazenly candid about this.
He has already put forth this very plan in the S.2433 Global Poverty Act of 2007, which he authored in the Senate.
This bill, in fact will stick the U.S for 845 BILLION dollars.
Thats $2500 dollars for every man, woman and child in America.
That’s in addition to the BILLIONS we already funnel into third world countries who hate us. It’s coming up for vote, and I urge all to contact their representatives to stop this Obama atrocity.

ENOUGH. WE MUST STOP THIS MAN.

Email Republican headquarters/McCain. FReep ‘EM OUT!

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!

Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!
