I just watched Barack Obama on a brief Fox News Clip. In answering a question he said (paraphrasing),
"Are there voters who would not vote for a presidential candidate who is African American? I have no doubt there are such voters. But I'm not concerned because those kinds of voters would also be opposed to my politics.
He just said that racists are the same people as those who oppose liberal Democrats; i.e Republicans. I hope some interpid reporter follows up on that comment.
Leftist Democrats are the most racist folks I know of - and they'll all vote for him.
or Thomas Sowell.
If you are against my philosophy, you are also against my skin color.
Rather a convenient little package, now, isn't he?
The question was racist to begin with. Remember, with the m.s.m, it's the question, not the answer that's important, and m.s.m has a license to be racist as long as they're liberal like Sheets Byrd.
Anybody want to get in on the pool to see how it is before some member of the media actually questions him about this comment being about the GOP? (I've already put $5 on the "NEVER" square on the board, but 'when hell freezes over' is still available).
Meanwhile the Demonrats are always the ones to bring up race. Look how they treat Republicans who are black by calling them all kinds of racist names. I still say it's quality vs. quantity and Demonrats are a hate-filled bunch that prove themselves to be the real bigots.
I hate all socialist.
The culture of socialism must be destroyed.
He's been reading about himself too much in the papers. But I don't take him lightly.
This empty suit, this pathetic cipher, this Stepford pseudo candidate is so incredibly presumptious as to think that he's actually qualified to be POTUS.
I'd glady vote for Thomas Sowell, Condelezza Rice, or Walter Williams who just happen to be "African-American", or are they just Americans?
Who else is there besides the PC, "liberal" approved Uncle Jesse's and Al's?
Nope. That's not what he said.
In other words, 'conservatives are racists'.
"..voters would also be opposed to my politics."
I am opposed to the politics of any one who is associated with Islam, white, black, brown or chartreuse. This country may be ready for a black president but never for a Muslim.
If you are against my philosophy, you are also against my skin color.
Rather a convenient little package, now, isn't he?
