Calling white people racist because they refuse to buy into Marxism is not a very bright idea, so keep it up!

The race card isn’t working with average folks

You're right - it was overplayed - that in combination with having a black President - and somehow the guilt/pity thing is going, going, gone...

The racist epithet is the Pavlov gong directing the slavering followers to follow directions. Well indoctrinated, aren't they?

A writer for Slate magazine insisted journalists must not call attention to the fact that Obama is "skinny." Such observations fuel racism by highlighting his physical appearance, and that in turn might suddenly alert racist American voters to the fact that Obama is ... wait for it ... black.

Nov. 11th 2008 I sitting at my desk when I got an email from a friend who pointed out that that Obama guy was really skinny. So I find a photo of him to check it out and HOLY CRAP the guy is BLACK!

Guess that is why I have been against him ever since. /s

>> “Sure, racists don’t like Obama”

Some do, some don’t.

They’ll be looking for a Reichstag fire opportunity. Make no mistake, brethren, we are marked for destruction.

Racism |= Anything You Don’t Like.

But Dr. Washington would not have believed that one hundred years could go by and there not be any change in that basic paradigm.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, liberal Democrats have to accuse their opponents of racism.

LOL!

[mattdono]

Good point.

I think this should be the response should be this:

No, it’s not because he’s black, it’s because his *idea* is stupid.

Or...

No, it’s not that I don’t like him because he’s black, but because he’s a horse’s ass. Or in Keith Olburpman’s case...well, you get the point.

No one hates like an “anti-hater.”

I’m Confused. I was going to vote for him but found that his white ancestors had owned slaves so I thought I would vote for his black half but found that his ancestors were never slaves and had never lived in the US.
I figured I better not vote for either because then I would be racist by supporting a mixed race with a dubious background on issues such as slavery.

The only notable political violence at a town hall was against a black man, roughed up by pro-Obama toughs. The assault weapon lawfully carried to a demonstration was carried by a black man. That supposedly racist poster depicting Obama as the Joker? (An LA Weekly writer fumed, “The only thing missing is a noose.”) That was created by a Palestinian-American supporter of left-wing garden gnome Dennis Kucinich. Whoops!

 

Yep.
