Could Racism Keep Obama Out of the White House?
Pajamas Media ^ | August 17, 2008 | La Shawn Barber

In his color-coded article, “The Color-Coded Campaign,” John Heilemann doesn’t just hint that racial prejudice will prevent Barack Obama from winning the White House. He states it directly and without equivocation. The reason America’s first black major party presumptive presidential nominee hasn’t blown out the intractably boring and uninspiring John McCain in the polls, given “surging” Democratic voter registration and voters’ disenchantment with Republicans, is his skin color.

It wouldn’t have anything to do with Obama’s liberal beliefs, inexperience, gaffes, and inconsistencies, would it? No, it’s because he’s black, says Heilemann and other liberals...

I don’t know why Senator Barack Obama chooses to insult a black Supreme Court Justice at a religious forum, but his comments last night at Saddleback that Justice Thomas was not qualified to be on the Court were revealing.

Why does Obama hate black people?

The Dems know they are going to lose in a McGovern-scale fiasco, and are trying to figure out how to save face

Obama’s counting on racism to win the White House... a 99% vote from Blacks.

If racism keeps him out. It will be his own brand of it that does, as in Black Liberation Theology.

It is not racism on the part of whites or any other color Americans that will keep him out. In reality, it is Barack Hussein Obama that will keep him out.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

White people are not going to vote for a man who hates them for being white.

I will vote against BO because he’s an idiot, a liar and a communist butt weasel. Race has nothing to do with it.

Could Racism Keep Obama Out of the White House?

Yeah, just the same way it kept him out of the University of Chicago, Harvard, the Illinois state senate, and the United States Senate. He just can't catch a break, and it's all because he's a black man.

Well, Obama is a racist, so yes, I suppose it could and should keep him from being elected.

The RATS are blaming Obama’s defeat on “racism” even before the election. Apparently, they can see what’s going to happen at the polls. The only question is if they’ll blame Obama’s black half or his white half. It would be interesting if some conservative commentator would say, “It’s obviously black racism against his white half.”

The Obama scampaign says we are not allowed to talk about the racist Jeremiah Wright, the racist Nation of Islam, the racist Hamas all who support Obama this election.

There are plenty of racists FOR Obama and they brought him up politically for 20 years.

It is Obama’s color that will keep this race close. Otherwise, McCain would completely blow him out.

Yes, I think obama’s own racism will prevent him from reaching the White House.
