Sorry - no time to analyze this. Must return to wall-to-wall Akin coverage...

[mazda77]

The simple and only answer is NO, period.

[BlatherNaut]

So here is the million-dollar question: Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to consider when analyzing his politics and policies?

No.

Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to consider when analyzing his politics and policies?

It only matters if you're a progressive, otherwise, you don't care either way.

[nhwingut]

Translation: He is still a racist because of his policies.

[Parley Baer]

Obama must go. IMHO this has no bearing on that goal.

[tet68]

Doesn’t matter to me.
Now if he had dated a democrat...
it would depend on how hot she was.

[ontap]

Kinda vacates the sleazy democrats racism card!!

[penelopesire]

No. It.does.not.matter. At least not to conservatives but it will to the racist liberals. Hope they choke on their own hypocrisy.

[mazda77]

So, where is my $1 million?

[skinkinthegrass]

sounds like the pRes__ent O'Bozo Re-election
Campaign playing the RACE CARD Again
have they ever stopped?

[Gaffer]

Actually, I dunno....did Obama ever have a black ‘girlfriend’ that didn’t need to squat to pee?

[Truth is a Weapon]

So Ryan has something that 0bama doesn’t, a black, former girl friend?

Gee, how about that. A man has had girl friends before getting married. Isn’t that weird?

[marron]

those who hold stereotypes about a particular group of people are unlikely to have those stereotypes altered merely by encountering someone who defies that stereotype.

The writer should read and contemplate her own words.

Ryan, like Republicans in general, are more impressed by the content of your character than by the color of your skin.

The writer makes the mistake of connecting things that don't connect. If you are fond of latin americans in general or Mexicans in particular, that doesn't mean you favor illegal immigration or open borders. Mexicans don't favor it for their country either, and I doubt you can find a single country anywhere where they do favor it.

If you are fond of black people and have the highest respect for them as people, that doesn't mean that you want to treat them as dependent and lesser citizens... quite the contrary. It is the promoters of the dependency culture i.e. Democrats who see black people as second class citizens and insist on patronizing them.

[Doc Savage]

Did she wear LeBron James $300+ sneakers and smoke Kools????????? Well, you never know!

[Orlando]

Who did Obama dated in College ================================= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cr6BSrQ13M&feature=player_embedded

[pgkdan]

No. Next stupid question?

[Banjoguy]

I don't understand the use of the term "African American" to describe all people of color. That description assumes a lot does it not?

A person of color would be a neutral descriptor.

Finally, if one is not a racist, why does skin pigment matter at all?

[Biblebelter]

his "college sweetheart" was African American.

I am not sure if I buy that.

If she exists, then I am sure that the media will search the ends of the earth to hound her. I am sure the race pimps that populate the Democrat Party will hound her and euphemistically "encourage" or realistically threaten her to come forward and spill the dirt on the Wonderboy which would include the reason that she broke up with him which was that he was both a racist and a neanderthal who was abusive and dismissive of women.

If she exists, she will be waterboarded to come forward and trash Paul Ryan with fictionalized story written by Democrats.

[KC_Lion]

I had a black girlfriend freshman year of college, does that somehow reflect badly on me that we didn't stay together?

Hmmm Democrats? Party of Jim Crow and Segregation?

Hmm?

Does me marrying one of those poor, "needs do be patronized by Leftists" Palestinians make up for that!?

Go jump in a lake Liberal Media, Paul Ryan is trying to help keep this nation intact and you people Balkanize and categorize Everything!
