I also hope someone captured that video.

I wonder how Senator "Sheets" Byrd fits into Obama's world view.

[US Navy guy]

I would GLADLY vote for a American of African descent(Alan Keyes) but NOT this bastard!

[notaliberal]

Yes, I heard it too and that's exactly what it sounded like to me.

[Joe Boucher]

Come on Dan, Obama is going to be protected by the m.s.m similar to the clintons. Hell the clintons kill folks on a regular basis and get away with it. Surely obama can call us the white devils and get away with it.

I heard the same clip this morning. It was from his weekend trip.

[Joe Boucher]

Come on Dan, Obama is going to be protected by the m.s.m similar to the clintons. Hell the clintons kill folks on a regular basis and get away with it. Surely obama can call us the white devils and get away with it.

This has been all over conservative talk radio. Stupid answer to a stupid question. Obama should be laughed at not asked if his race is a factor. Colin Powell merited that question because he had a strong resume, this Obama thing is absolute nonsense.

[KStorm]

So if you don't vote for BO, you're a racist.

[stockpirate]

If you oppose Solialism you are a racist, mmm. oh well I have been called worse.

Of course of late there are many Republicans that do not oppose Socialism, so what are they?

[omega4179]

I would also vote for Keyes but a coke snorting 4 year senator is not my cup of tea for the most important job in the world.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Socialists are evil - Democrats are their mindless robots.

[OpusatFR]

"I hope some interpid reporter follows up on that comment."

Watching "Bizzaro Superman" again?

We aren't in the alternate universe. An intrepid reporter following up a racist statement from Obama would only happen in that upside-downside reality.

[kjo]

ABC Nightly News is on right now: all Obama all the time. Just what is going on? Why are these people shilling for this guy? Whenever they're not talking about Obama they are dumping on Bush.

Long past time to go after their advertisers.

[notaliberal]

He was asked if people wouldn't vote for him because he is black. He said something like people would not vote for me because I am black or if they don't agree with my politics.

[BlessedBeGod]

Another black Illinois politician, former Chicago mayor Harold Washington, said something similar one election when he said that if you didn't vote for him, you were a racist.

[randita]

Obama is a neophyte to the national stage. This won't be the last gaffe he makes - count on that.

[alloysteel]

If you are against my philosophy, you are also against my skin color.

Rather a convenient little package, now, isn't he?

[bpjam]

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).

[bushfamfan]

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.

[Porterville]

I hate all socialist.

The culture of socialism must be destroyed.

[photodawg]

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.

This guy is absolutely sick. He is not African American. He may get treated as if he is by the stereotyping racists in the democrat party, but his ancestry is white American and Kenyan. What type of politics does a mixed race Kenyan-American espouse? The people who would not accept a Black American for president wouldn't be voting against this guy.

Is he really saying his politics are the politics of Afro-Americans? What is he basing his politics on exactly? Race? Anti miscegenation laws of post civil war reconstruction? This man's color bears no relation to his culture, and now absurdly enough by his own admission, his culture bears no relation to his politics. His politics, he tells us are based on what he supposes Americans think is his racial ancestry .
