Race baiters crying in their beer after vote (Denver's new mayor)

Leave it to The Denver Post

Denver Post article can be found here: Mayoral race reveals plenty about race

[Godel]

Not a suprise, liberals are spewing venomous vile hatred and lies towards the only groups that its acceptable to bash and trash without mercy; Whites.

[republicman]

Everything is racism...

...except hating whitey

[FITZ]

Because whites were sick of 20 years of minority rule

If they let minorities rule for 20 years, they can't be all that racist. The minute a white guy wins an election, it's because the voters suddenly turned racist?

Plus the liberals are assuming all hispanic candidates believe exactly the same thing. We had a hispanic mayor here who backed Bush but most hispanics were for Gore.

Exactly. To the liberals, race trumps everything.

That's what is making this entire spectacle so entertaining!

Never mind that Hickenlooper is a far out leftie who will carry on Mayor Webb's gun control schemes.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Liberal America, you're time is UP! You hear me? We the people of the United States are sick and TIRED of your lies, your race baiting, your hate whites, your hate America!

We WILL take America back. City by city. In fact we ARE doing it.

You are no longer welcome to make a mess of our country. 9/11 has shown what we are made of and we're not wussies or pussies.

We are a strong great nation. We've just been diverted catering to you for over 40 years. But that's all going to change. Even in San Francisco. Just watch!

I guess it is good to have elected a white mayor. But, always remember that a politician doesn't have to be black to be corrupt or inept.

[eeman]

Bloomberg in NYC proves your point, at least the inept part

"If they let minorities rule for 20 years, they can't be all that racist. The minute a white guy wins an election, it's because the voters suddenly turned racist?"

Even if it's true, SO WHAT? The people have spoken.

[FITZ]

guess it is good to have elected a white mayor.

Clinton ---both of them are white ---I'd rather have almost any minority before I'd have one of them ---even for mayor.

[FITZ]

Exactly. To the liberals, race trumps everything.

That's why the liberals who felt a little guilty for loving a white guy ---Bill Clinton ---so much had to start calling him the "first black president". That was so absurd ---and it was from people who never would have voted for Alan Keyes.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

"They (whites) wanted a change," a Regis University professor told Post columnist Cindy Rodriguez. "No one wants to talk about that."

55.18% of those eligible to vote didn't. Pukes trying to deal the race card don't want to talk about that.

[RippleFire]

As conservative analyst David Brooks noted after the election, "The lesson seems to be that if you run a campaign under the slogan 'The People Versus the Powerful,' you will not do well in the places where 'the people' live, but you will do fantastically well in the places where 'the powerful' live."

[Drew68]

Never mind that Hickenlooper is a far out leftie who will carry on Mayor Webb's gun control schemes.

Actually, Czar Webb's gun control schemes are currently in the hands of the courts right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

FWIW, there were no Republicans running for Mayor. A Republican couldn't get elected Mayor of Denver if he gave away free crack.

"The lesson seems to be that if you run a campaign under the slogan 'The People Versus the Powerful,' you will not do well in the places where 'the people' live, but you will do fantastically well in the places where 'the powerful' live."

My theory is there is a tendency among some "rich" (not even necessarily rich, just comfortable) folks, subconsciously perhaps, to so fear the poor rising up and destroying everything they hold dear that they vote against anyone remotely resembling themselves or openly advocating anything that sounds like it benefits them so that there is no appearance of people like themselves actually running things.

Instead, they vote for any minority or "underclass" person or "radical" or leftist who is running. This, they hope, will "ease the steam pressure" of the overheating boiler of race relations, as described in "Bonfire of the Vanities." It is the same tactic that drives the entire Democrat party - dole out goodies to mollify the underprivileged who supposedly have nothing to lose by hating the rich or whites or whoever happens to really be in control.

Well, sometimes enough is enough and even the rich dupes of this sort of thinking wise up and elect someone based on something other than their racist fears. Good for Denver, this will just cause a lot of leftist guiltmongers no end of anxiety for a while.

What if he gave away free crack WITH a check for $500?
