Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black ("Socialist")
Kansas City Star ^ | October 21, 2008 | Lewis Diuguid

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black By Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality. Those freedom fighters included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Civil Rights Movement; W.E.B. Du Bois, who in 1909 helped found the NAACP which is still the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization; Paul Robeson, a famous singer, actor and political activist who in the 1930s became involved in national and international movements for better labor relations, peace and racial justice; and A. Philip Randolph, who founded and was the longtime head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a leading advocate for civil rights for African Americans. McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare. Shame on McCain and Palin.

IF O is elected, can you imagine four years of this nonsense?!

I have the awful feeling that a lot of good Americans are going to be imprisoned if Hussein takes power.

Code word = STUPID! (and perhaps gay?)

Urkel-esque at the very least.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black---- By Lewis Diuguid

Wow, I thought I'd heard pretty much everything when it comes to Racism and/or Socialism, but this guy takes the definition of stupidity to a whole new level. On the other hand, I have to wonder what type of Editors work at this newspaper to let this slide by. Lewis, you are a poor poor excuse for a man.

No, your wrong......of course it’s a code word for black........because, you see, that’s the way we white folks talk secretly to each other to point out that BO is really “A BLACK GUY !!”......it’s the only way we can get that piece of info out there to our fellow racists......

These people are like Eddie Murphy in that comedy skit on the bus with white people....he was sure that when he got off the bus the white people would all party and yuck it up.......these black libs are pathetic children

But...aren’t those examples all socialists?

Why do liberals & socialists feel the need to hide their beliefs?

The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.

It does have long and ugly roots - it refers to a government scheme that steals the earnings from the working and uses that money to buy the votes of the lazy. Democrats love it, hard-working Americans don't. It's that simple.

How some brain-dead author can twist "socialism" into "racism" is beyond me.

""How about "targets"?""

""Or maybe "parasites"""

Why not both?

No ring of logic and truth in the accusation at all.

The "socialist" label ... has long and very ugly historical roots.

You forgot "accurate."

And the "socialist" label goes back way before 1920. The Communist Manifesto was written in 1848,

ATTENTION:
The following racist code words have been added to our list:

socialist = racist code word
dweeb = racist code word
bucket = racist code word
sock = racist code word

It will help you to remember these code words if you use them in a sentence.

For instance:
“I’d like to stick a sock in the mouth of that socialist dweeb and put a bucket over his head.”

Be sure to check here frequently as more words will be added hourly.

Good grief, I must be black too. Australia is socialist and I was born their. Maybe it is washing off. Perhaps if we sent nobama back to Kenya he could really be a socialist and no one would mind

So....what does this black fool wish the Marxist Black Racist Obama be called?

The MOST appropriate words have been removed from "polite society"...

The TRUTH of the matter - is that America's Negroes consider EVERYTHING derogatory mentioned about their behavior, dependency, illegitimacy rates, criminal behavior, corrupt politicians, voter fraud, etc, etc, etc......as "racist"...

"White Racist" a term most Americans dreaded -- has become a badge of honor out of self defense, due to the excessive "race cards" being dealt by Obama's campaign and his black racist supporters.
