They’re going to try to make you afraid of me.

Dude- YOU make me afraid of you, you frickin' marxist.

And did I mention he’s black?”

Nope, but you sure did.

Dirty Fuckin' Communist, he is.

Yaah, that inexperienced thing. That's making me racist?
I hope he makes Mondale look like a huge winner by comparison.

Briar patch alert!

Yeah, I'm a racist. I'm not voting for you because you're half white.

I think he is making a big mistake playing the race card, so I glad to see him do it.

The Dems continue to try to stack the deck with the race card.

He (Barack Obama) is the only one making it about race. I don't care what his skin color is. I don't care for "change".

He’s young

true

and inexperienced

true

and he’s got a funny name

.

true

And did I mention he’s black?

True sort of....he's 1/16 black 8/16 white, 7/16 arab

They’re going to try to make you afraid,” Obama said at the fundraiser.

Sen. Obama, 'they' don't make me afraid, but you and your 'feisty' wife certainly do.

Baldilocks hit that one out of the park:

Most people couldn't care less about your name and your color, Senator Obama. They fear being lead by you because you have no substantive legislative record, you're a chronic liar and, after explicitly stating that you choose your friends carefully, you have repeatedly and systematically made friends with people who hate this country. You would "bridge the divide," Senator, by burning that bridge.

Barack "Al Sharpton" Obama strikes again.

He's like a parody, I really and truly can't figure out why so many people are oblivious to his mendacity and overall creepiness.

If he loses the election, the media will start saying how racist Americans are in a nanosecond.

So if you call him inexperienced your a racist, if you mention Rev. Wright and the fact he attended a racist church for 20 freakin years your a racist, if you mention his middle name your a racist, if you say he is too far left your a racist? Wow I guess I am some sort of super duper extremely redneck bible and gun clinging confederate flag carrying super racist.

CUBS WIN 11-7 !

And did I mention he’s black?

A reporter needs to ask him directly what he means by that. I wanna see him stammer.

re: #6 ploome hineni

Charles

this method of race baiting is exactly in the style of the rev Wright's sermons

how whitey keeps the black man down

here we are beginning to see the rev wright in Obamanation

Indeed Ploome...this only shows he was really listening to what Wright was preaching.

You know, if I talked about being white half as often as he talks about being black, someone who probably think I was some kind of neo-Nazi white supremacist.

So, how is he going to throw his white half under the bus?i

Since he's actually bi-racial, I'm almost inclined to believe HE is the one playing the race when he brings up the fact that he's black.

But I suppose that would make me a racist.

Sweet, object to being called a racist and you're doubting an oppressed minority's word. Say nothing and he proves his point.

re: #15 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican

I don't care what the media calls me, as long as Obama loses in November.

He said Republicans would be unable to run on the economy or foreign policy, so the election would ultimately boil down to a choice between “hope and fear.”

I believe this is called "projection".

Semator- you are dreaming if you think you can run on anything BUT "hope and fear" because you've got nothing- no experience in economics, none on foreign policy or even domestic policy. You truly have nothing but a clichéd mantra.

Obama is the one "mentioning" he's black all the time, not the GOP. If someone is going to vote for/against him on his race, they don't need any prompting.

re: #36 Macker

There could very well be race riots.

Cool !
That would help Obama !

I've seen this with local letters to the edtor and "guest editorials". Those that I've seen are seemingly intentionally obfuscating the issues with the "race smokescreen".

Never mind the marxist tendencies and practices, pro-aborton stance, history of tax and spend, or anything else that is relevant to an informed voter decision.

Simply put, Barack clearly wants it to be ALL about race because it keeps the light of day off of the real ssues.

He's not black, anyway, he's just a typical american mix.

OK Everyone -

I will call Sen. OBAMA on whatever I disagree with him on. Iff that makes me a "Racist" - Tough Tarts! You Senator, DO NOT SCARE ME!

re: #43 average_guy

Hell does he have a real issue he hasn't lied about?

This guy is making John Kerry look good.

If anybody who is against him is a racist - how will he cope with adverse European politicians (who are, yep, you guessed it, white!)?
Stamp his feet, say he'll not negotiate with racists?
If things go pear-shaped, will he blame it all on the whitey Europeans?
Putin will be pleased ...

It is really despicable to play the race card the way that he did.

Just because she's a liar doesn't mean he isn't. There are plenty of lies to go around.

The democrats were the party of slavery segregation and the jim crow law.

Well what is different between this and Bill Clinton with no proof whatesoever saying that Republicans in Cincinatti (I could be wrong about the city) were trying to suppress black turnout by arresting people outside of polling areas?

forget about racism, what about ageism? plenty of folks are attacking J-Mac because of his age, yet no one makes a fuss!

The Messiah of Marxism. I can't wait for his version of The Sermon on the Mount. His utterances are beginning to have all the characteristics of a house built with playing cards. I think Hillary still has a chance...

I wouldn't vote for her, but she seems a lot less dangerous than Barack.
I don't see her as a 'loose cannon' but BHO is rolling all over the deck.

re: #15 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican

That would be fine. If he loses that means a majority of voters deemed him unqualified. They will not think of themselves as racist.
The danger is , if the MSM are able to shield Obama from criticism due to his race, then they win the arguement

I think lawhawk summed it up best:

Consider that there are literally hundreds of reasons not to vote for Obama. I'll start with just my top 10:

10: No experience at all.
9: No policy achievements.
8: No foreign policy experience.
7: No knowledge of the Middle East
6: Tax and spend political hack.
5: No experience.
4: Socializing health care.
3: Repeal of Bush tax cuts - in effect a massive tax hike.
2: Opposes drilling for more oil domestically.
1: No experience at all.

Indeed.

If you do X or X1 then you are Y.

If you question my experience (X) or examine my ethics (X1) then you are racist (Y).

Makes perfect sense now.

(Not)

re: #36 Macker

There could very well be race riots.

But it will be our fault.
The MSM, while (wink, wink) decrying the violence, will understand.
How terrible to have the racist voters reject the Obamassiah!
I mean, if voting against BHO weren't racist and evil, why would people get so upset as to riot?
(Y'no, as in.. if we were naughty imperialists the jihadis would be cranky.)

What the MSM will NOT do is acknowledge their own culpability for framing the election as a contest between bigoted Neanderthals and the Children of Light.

I'd vote for Micheal Steele (if he lived here) but not Obama. since they are both black, does this mean i'm a racist or not?

Obama is clever. Easy to see his tactic, when you recast it in the context of a more normal job:

“We know what how they'll try to keep me from driving the school bus. They’re going to try to make you afraid,” Obama said at the fundraiser. “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s tall and wears clown shoes and has no driver's license. And did I mention he snores?”

Nice try, Mr. Obama.

re: #90 Shug

You are correct, the left tried to destroy the man.

McCain should make some noise about this and challenge him to those town hall meetings again. Call him a word that's just short of a coward. Yellow. Well, I guess that's worse. Good meme, though. Barack's predominant color isn't black or white, it's yellow.

re: #56 pegcity

The democrats were the party of slavery segregation and the jim crow law.

Isn't historical revisionism a wonderful thing. The mantra of the left is that all the redneck Dems of the past converted to Republicanism in the 60's thereby bestowing the stain of their past policies onto the GOP. One could ask oneself, which party currently has the most former members of the Klan in Congress? But even he gets a pass, because he's a Dem.

re: #94 Terp Mole

Obama has already thrown him under the bus.

Being young and inexperienced and having a funny name is no way to go through life.

It hasnt even occurred to the annointed one that perhaps millions of Americans are NOT going to vote for him not because hes black, not because he has a "feisty" (guffaw) wife, and not because his name is "Barack Hussein Obama"........................................... ..............

but simply because hes an asshole?

re: #88 DoubleU

He is such a uniter.

That is why his very strained "Conversation on Race" To counter Rev. Wright was such a sham.
Basically, he blamed White Racism for everything.
There can be no honest conversation of race in this country.
The parameters are so confining & if you step over the laid down line, just to be objective, you are branded racist.

Guess what? The general election isn't a caucus where delegates can be intimidated into proving their non-racist bona fides by raising their hands in full view of a critical audience.

When the curtain closes in the voting booth this November, nobody knows how you vote. Even Democrats might decide to do the right thing for the country despite the pressure from their moonbat peers. That's why I don't think the polls are going to accurately predict the outcome.

Well if he is a failure as a President it will be because George Chimpy Bush f@cked everything up so bad it will take at least 200 years of single party Democrat rule to put things back together again.

Comrade Obama is a Marxist who just happens to be black. There is nothing new about his jive talking race hustler. He thinks you should vote for him because he is black, and forget he has no credentials to even qualify him to even chair a committee in the Senate.

The entirety of the Democrat Party has become flaming Marxists, just listen to what they say and are doing.

I always laugh when I'm asked to fill out an ethnicity question on a survey. I'm part Cherokee Indian, Irish, French- Canadian, and on and on. Must be a Lefty invention.

I hear you there. Scotch, Irish, English, French/French Canadian, Dutch, German, Cherokee, Mohawk, Blackfoot & Abenaki. Darned if I have ever figured out which "one" ethnicity to be proud of, so I'm proud of them all.

Unreal. Imagine if you had an opponent who could constantly "misspeak", and was allowed to shift his position on major issues because he is "moving to the center" and the press that is supposed to be adversarial is ok with that. Then you make minor mistakes or not really mistakes at all and a megaphone is shouting them to the world. There does not even have to be a scandal for McCain to get tripped up. The whole "macacca" thing with George Allen comes to mind. I bet you start seeing more pictures of him "looking old".

OT: Just got back from Union Sq here in NYC and who did I see...but raging moonbats holding anti-Israel posters and shouting at people! A woman stopped to tell the lead moonbat (of course the guy was 50+, missing more than one tooth, and could barely formulate coherent sentences), but after not liking what she had to say, screamed out that she was a 'war criminal' and then told her he was glad he could ruin her day. It never ceases to amaze me that the moonbats think that their best chance at changing people's opinions on subjects is by being as rude, crude and in your face as possible. It's almost as if they are simply trying to appeal to gangbangers and KKK members.

re: #99 Opilio

Isn't historical revisionism a wonderful thing. The mantra of the left is that all the redneck Dems of the past converted to Republicanism in the 60's thereby bestowing the stain of their past policies onto the GOP. One could ask oneself, which party currently has the most former members of the Klan in Congress? But even he gets a pass, because he's a Dem.

Republicans really are treated like crap, im canadian and you'd have to be blind even here to not see that.

Barack Hussein Obama is in my opinion, the most unsuitable candidate ever proposed for the President of the United States of America.

I find him to be yet another corrupt politician from one of the worst political machine organizations in the country, overtly unpatriotic, and a long-time associate of terrorist sympathizers and racist hustlers both domestic and foreign. He appears be very sympathetic to Islamic totalitarianism and his professed Christianity is a sham to advance his political career.

To the extent that he has any political ideas they appear to be a jumble of naïve Marxist prescriptions. Obama doesn’t seem to really have even basic knowledge of Geography, Economics, Military affairs, or International Politics. He repeatedly tells audiences what they want to hear and then within hours repudiates his statements to gain favor with other audiences.

His advisors and backers have much more definite ideas of how they want national affairs to be run. Is anyone really looking forward to War Crimes Trials? How about “Reparation Payments”?

And did I mention that Obama is 1/16 Black, 7/16 Arab, and 1/2 White? None of that even matters – except to his supporters. It is the Obama supporters who scream “racist” at every criticism of their candidate, then proudly explain how they will vote for him because Obama is Black and they like the idea of having a Black President.

I won’t be voting for Obama because he is unsuitable – not because he is “Black”, or “inexperienced” – he is unsuitable.

Oh brother, he is loony, no ifs ands buts. The only candidate waving the race and fear banner is YOU BHO.

However, what this dip**** and others like him, cannot fathom is that he is repellent to the vast majority of reasonable humans. I say keep ranting on your soap box.

For all we know the woman who confronted him could very well be 95% politically liberal. Should that be so, there is now a good chance that she may say to herself, "look at the foolishness I have aligned myself with."

Most certainly should the Marxist Obama be opposed, but stop spreading Kenneth Lamb's lies to do it.

once again he shows what a devious manipulative person he is because he himself has no real values or understanding of decency.

According to Obama, any criticism of him is fear mongering. It just depends what you are criticizing that determines the label that will go before the 'fear mongering' part. Today they pulled 'Race' out of the hat.

What the heck, that's OK since BHO is using race too! But then, that's only in retaliation and in response to those mean and nasty GOPers! Of course, if BHO wins (Oops, did I say "if," I really meant "when" so please forgive me, please please!) he'll make us pay for our mistakes as in the words of Matt. Y., his abuses will hurt us all!

In total agreement.

Obama is very skillfully weaving a narrative here, that any and all opposition to him is race based, and by God, you'd better vote for me and not align yourself with racists. This is the logical conclusion of 20 years of membership in Rev. Wrongs church.

and with any hope, this selfish, manipulative, race-baiting technique will come back full force and bite him in his assets.

Bill Bennett said that BO and the lib/dems divide everyone up by race and gender (while decrying "race" and "gender") because they cannot face the idea of looking at individuals based on "good and evil" of character or judging a candidate based on truth/lies. (paraphrased at best... it was early in the morning and I didn't write it down.) The problem, the libs cry, is that if one looks at individuals based on the good/evil/truth/lies yardstick it's too absolute, too biblical, too moral.
Bugger them all.

I see Obama dispatched Mayor Bloomberg to FL to convince Jews down there that Obama isn't a Muslim.

I don't like this continual focus on the part of Obama on proving he's not a Muslim to Jews. Screw him.
Does he think Jews are stupid and are going to vote for or against him based on that? He's saying , in effect, that Jews are racists and bigots. He's showing complete dis-respect to the Jewish community. Let him go and confront his community about the rumors that AIDS was invented by Jews to kill black babies. Haven't heard him speak about that directly.

re: #209 grumpy old codger

I agree with you but, blacks deep down will know he is a failure. I honestly believe alot of young black people need positive male role models who are not athletes. Successful family men, especially one who became POTUS, would be very uplifting. This man will be an embarrassment. Not to mention he will increase the racial divide and distrust which already exists on both sides. And that's just the damage he will do on this front. We could devote many more threads to damage elsewhere...and I am sure we will!

I'd vote for Star Parker, Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Michael Steel, Ken Blackwell or Ward Connerly, just to name a few. So how can I be a racist?

Obama rattles his race like mariachis and then acts offended when somebody notices.

Something else that really bothers me about Obama. He refuses to release his college transcripts. We don't know any courses he took in college, his grades, or his teachers. Who taught him at Columbia? What was he taught in those classes? Why did he decide that his purpose in life after graduating from Columbia was to go to Chicago to be a street agitator? Who planted that idea in his mind? What did he read that pushed him in this direction?

We don't know. He won't let us see.

Worse, to me, is that here is someone who graduated from an Ivy League college, then went to Harvard Law, then taught law for seven years and he has NO PAPER TRAIL. Normally, someone in these circumstances would have produced a mountain of published articles or papers, but for him, nothing. Not even as Editor of the Law Review. That position at Harvard requires several major position papers for a candidate to be considered for the post. Where are they? Why can't we see them?

As for race riots, on just bring it on. See how well that shit plays out in 2008, homie.

This guy is going to set racial progress back 100 years. While it can be noted that he's black, his main distinction is that he's the first communist running for the presidency. They're just attempting to hide this behind his color, as in: "Is this guy a communist?" Answer: "No, he's black. Stop asking questions you racist."

The sad part is, when he wrecks the country I'm afraid it will be remembered that the first black president ruined the country when in fact it will have been the first communist president that screwed everything up.

Then liberals will probably say: "We still need a communist president, just a white one this time."

If Obama wins, it will set race relations back by decades. As Obama's words indicate, we're already back to judging people not by the content of their character, but the color of their skins.

Obama's presidency, if it occurs, is going to make us long for the good old days of Carter. Yet it won't be because of Obama's skin color, but because he is perhaps the least qualified man ever to have a great chance of winning the office.

re: #222 ploome hineni

I know the thread is dead, but in case it isn't-- the whole "race/ethn" question that appears on forms etc has taken a far more sinister turn.

Working for a school district in the state of Colorado, I recently attended a Colorado Dept of Ed "groupthink" meeting in which we were asked to brainstorm the various ways we might be able to comply with the Oct 1997 Federal law that requires reporting of "multiple" ethnicities by 2010.

What came out of this was astonishing.

As school districts we must perform the work of "census" takers. But the question is NOT "which primary as well as two or more ethnicities are in your lineage?"

The question is two-part and begins with this: 1) Are you Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. Period.

Once you choose one of those two catagories, you then are asked to choose from 5 other "racial catagories" -- but THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BE RECORDED AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL IS HISPANIC OR NON-HISPANIC.

White anglo-saxon is among the 5 other racial catagories, as is American Indian, Hawaiian Native, but if you are ANY of these 5 other catagories alone, you choose NON-hispanic. If you are Asian/Hispanic, or Black/Hispanic, and if you choose "HISPANIC" in question (1) you will be reported as Hispanic only. Hispanic TRUMPS all other racial catagories including white because "white" will be recorded as "non-hispanic."

I asked this question point-blank: "Are you telling us that Hispanic now trumps all other ethnicities if you are of mixed lineage?"

The answer was, unabashedly, "yes."

If you are American Indian and Hispanic and you want your Indian Heritage to be recognized, you will have to choose Non-Hispanic and American Indian, but you will be recognized as Non-hispanic first.

AND IF YOU REFUSE TO FILL OUT ANYTHING, you will be asked "do you, by not filling out the data, realize that your ethnicity will be filled in by the person presenting this form to you?" (in our case school secretaries)

There is no way to leave it blank. If you do leave it blank you will be reported as whatever the school secretary feels you "look like."

He's just so asking to get Martin Luther King's words thrown back in his face. He's being judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character, which many, many people find wanting.

As so many people have said here. Add me to the list.

I'm waiting for someone to finally say that in the mainstream media.

No, I'm not holding my breath.
