 n2sooners says: Some nice information about his ties to ACORN as well. "That's just how white folks will do you," Obama writes.*cough* The heat's on McCain and Palin, and suddenly I see Jeremiah Wright and "Obama's a racist" clips. Interesting. I don't see "Obama's a racist" anywhere. That must be a conclusion you came to on your own from reading Obama's own words. Like the old maxim says: "You see the world not as it is, but as you are." So every time I hear the Obama campaign making comments about race, it's one more nail in their coffin as far as I'm concerned. The Obama campaign didn't make any comments about race, merrie. I did. And sooners did. Results 1 - 30 of about 21,100,000 English pages for Obama comments about race At three stops in the battleground state of Missouri on Tuesday, Obama told audiences that his opponent is trying to make voters "scared" of him because he doesn't look like past presidents -- an apparent reference to being black -- and has a "funny name. Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a Republican who supports McCain, called Obama's comments "a very sophisticated injection of race." Obama told audiences that his opponent is trying to make voters "scared" of him because he doesn't look like past presidents -- an apparent reference to being black -- and has a "funny name.They are. He's right. He's wrong, they aren't. Sooners, either you're not paying attention, or you don't recognize racism and fear-mongering and othering. Button sold at the Texas Republican convention: "If Obama is President, will we still call it the White House?" Washington Republican convention: sold 3 dollar bills with a turbaned Obama, signature of "spiritual advisor" Al Sharpton, and featuring a camel. There was the guy down in Georgia selling T-shirts of Obama as [url=http://highbridnation.com/2008/05/14/racist-obama-shirt-shows-curious-george-image/... Lets go down that list. The button was wrong, but was it put out there by Obama's opponent? Did McCain or his campaign authorize that button? I seriously doubt it and unless you can prove it that is just so much BS. And has there ever been a politician who wasn't on a three dollar bill somewhere? Heck, that was even a nickname for Clinton. I've even seen Bush on a 0 dollar bill. How is it racist to treat Obama just like any other politician? And I guess comparisons to Curious George are only allowed against white republicans? http://home.nyc.rr.com/jadedem/gw1.html And I hardly think calling someone by their middle name is racist. You don't even seem to know what the hell racism is, and ... Yup, yup. You don't get it. 1. The button was sold at a booth at the Texas Republican convention. Don't try to pass this off as the work of a possible infiltrator. 2. The point is not the 3-dollar bill, blind one, it is the turban, the camel, and the invocation of Al Sharpton, who most white people hate with a passion. 3. Again, "monkey" has long been used as a racist pejorative against blacks. 4. If Obama's middle name were, say, Edward, people would not be throwing it around like a pejorative. 5. Don't tell me I don't get racism. I live in Chicago, man. Adieu. First, you are full of shit. Second, tie any of those directly to McCain. Third, it seems to me you are the racist. You condone attacking whites in ways you deem as off limits to blacks. That is racist. Having no valid response, you swear at me, call me names, and attribute beliefs to me ("condoning attacks") I've never stated. I've obviously made my point. Adieu. What radical leftists such as "dulios" don't get is that the ONLY reason Obama became their nominee is because he is black. I'm glad he got the nomination because Hillary would have been a much tougher opponent. Will there be people that won't vote for Obama because he is black? Yes...but there will be far more that vote for him, simply because he is black. That is racism, also. I, frankly don't give a damn about skin color...show me a black man/woman that espouse conservative ideals and I will vote for them. @ "dulios"...I see that you have blocked me from "commenting" on your posts, what a pathetic coward. Adieu I've obviously made my point.The only point you have made is that you place different standards on a person based on race. They have a word for that you know... Obama became their nominee is because he is black.  Yes, the historical precedence of people winning the nomination for president of either major party just because they're black is overwhelming! Thanks for cluing me in! Barack Obama became the nominee of the Democratic party because he competed in 57 primaries and caucuses, and won the most votes. That's how you become the nominee. I see that you have blocked meI block you because when I see your comments they are almost invariably rude and inflammatory. The one time you do communicate with me, you call me radical, pathetic and a coward. I don't block people I don't agree with; I block people whose behavior is trollish. Sorry. Sooners, identifying racism is not the same as being as a racist. You aren't identifying racism, you are practicing it. You believe it is okay to put white politicians on a three dollar bill, but not black ones. You believe it is okay to compare a white politician to curious George, but not a black one. You have different standards in place for white and black candidates and that is the essence of racism. Sooners, I am fine with mocking politicians of all stripes, even the ones I like. On one of my favorite liberal sites, we jokingly refer to Obama as Senator Hopey. I laughed along with SNL skewering Clinton. There is nothing wrong with putting a politician on a three-dollar bill, or comparing him/her to a cartoon character. Nothing. I call out of bounds on the 3-dollar bill because Obama is depicted wearing a turban, Al Sharpton is referenced, and there is a camel where the seal would be. The obvious intention is to paint Obama as a Muslim or a radical black nationalist. And as to Curious George, again, the word "monkey" has been used as a racial slur against blacks in many cultures. ... Mr. Obama would NOT be the Democratic nominee if everything else being equal, he were white. That is the plain and simple truth, Dulios. I remeber seeing Obama speak durin the "04 Dem convention and I said then that he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. He's is a very likable guy...I just believe he is a true Socialist at heart and I cannot abide that. I believe he would be the nominee, because what excites people about Barack Obama is not the color of his skin, but the content of his character. And as to being a socialist, trust me as someone who lived for 4 years in Eastern Europe, and as the granddaughter of a communist, that Obama is most definitely not a socialist. His is all for the free market and a dedicated capitalist. I believe he would be the nominee, because what excites people about Barack Obama is not the color of his skin, but the content of his character.Let me be more specific. My white lifelong-Republican evangelical Christian pro-life mother did not cross party lines to vote for Obama in the primaries because Obama is black. And she will not cross them again in November because Obama is black. |
