It doesn’t “beg the question,” it raises the question. If a so-called journalist doesn’t know the basic logical fallacies, then the rest of the his/her thoughts are equally vapid.

>>It’s not the first time I’ve heard this ridiculous canard that black people voted for the president based simply on skin color. It assumes that only voters who aren’t African-American use logic, reasoning and rational thought before reaching a conclusion.<<

90+ percent isn’t persuasive that the vote was completely based on skin color? Who is proposing a canard here? Anyone who says Blacks voting for obama wasn’t completely racially-based are using the Bugblatter Beast defense: It is so stupid that it thinks that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you.

Liberals are so dumb there isn’t even a measurement tool available to plumb the depths.

Actually 96% of the blacks voted for Dumb’O vs 80-85% that typically vote for white liberal candidates. But the real test of whether blacks vote for black candidates would be if some conservative like Thomas Sowell were to run. What percentage of black votes do you think he’d get if he were up against a white liberal like say Ed Kennedy?

I would guess it would be well below 50%.

I believe that politics (self interest) trumps everything - race, gender, religion.... Most blacks have been brainwashed into thinking that liberals care more about them than conservatives, so they will always vote for a liberal over a conservative, even if the conservative is black.

Charles Payne from the Fox Business Channel admitted to voting for Zero based on his skin color. As I recall, his words were something like, "I felt I owed it to Rosa Parks." Charles is a extremely bright guy and a heck of a stock picker. He was systematically abused by his peers in the black community because he wanted to grow up to be a businessman (what was characterized as a white job) and because he didn't speak with a black accent. I was distraught to learn that such a wise and perservering person would stoop so low as to vote for Zero, but his loyalty to his skin color obviously overwhelmed his common sense. He now is not shy about blaming the Zero administration for its anti-business actions, and I sincerely hope he does not make the same mistake again.

The point is that if someone like Charles voted for Zero because of skin color, it is not surprising to learn that skin color was a big motive for many black voters in 2008. After all, the Black Panther who was wielding a weapon in from of the polling place on election day made it clear that skin color was the issue du jour. And, I have no doubt that many non-black voters were similarly motivated by skin color to vote for Zero. The last two years have demonstrated how poor a decision can be when it is based on skin color.

For what it is worth, I voted against Zero, not because of his skin color, but because of his Marxism and because, given he is likely an illegal alien, I do not believe he is qualified to hold office.
