Well, hell, then man - you're from South Africa. That's clear. |

And thanks for telling us all about your views on Michael Moore as we discuss the impact of racist conservatives on the American political system because this is extremely relevant.
Oops. Did it again. Here goes
this is extremely relevant. 
(Actually, it is relevant, but only to butress my elephant-in-the-living-room argument.)

So you have a figure-head president and no govt-gen. -- and a pm runs things. But South Africa is out. Actually, I give up. |

Bobster: are you constructing me and others who support J. McCain as
"conservatives who only feel comfortable with the truth when it is couched as a joke" and also "racist conservatives?"
What would you do with such people if you were ever to gain power, by the way? Establish a Ministry of Love and a Room 101 to administer mental health treatment? This is no idle point when dealing with the left and their dreams of turning back the water and healing the world, etc. One only has to recall the real examples we have before us: Stalin's Soviet Russia, Mao's China, East Germany, Khmer Cambodia -- sorry, Democratic Kampuchea, was it not? What did they call Pol Pot? "Brother," no...?
Oh, yeah. and Got it.  |

Indeed. I keep seeing this sort of stuff

"This country isn't ready for a black man in the White House," is what I've heard they told him.
I guess you could say it's still an open question whether that turns out to be true or not. |
How will we see if it turns out to be true or not? Oh, by the results of the election, of course. It's not possible for America to be ready for a Black president, but still vote for the other guy on the grounds that they think he would do a better job. If we don't elect Obama, it's because we were not ready for a black president and for no other reason. Therefore, vote Obama if you don't wish to hear about how racist we all are in the event that Mccain wins. |

FU you racist piece of garbage.
Uppity? God. I mean for F's sake. Beyond the pale. Beyond the fricking pale. Does anybody read? Does anybody have any idea of the history of the South?
This thread, on the first page (I couldn't read beyond that) was so nauseatingly racist that I'd like to fist fight anyone who posted. PM me. I will oblige you.
Obama has walked on pins and needles to avoid racial politics. These asshats attacking him have absolutely no basis for doing so. |

I read quite a lot, actually. And I am well-versed in American history. I also read what poster's post on this messageboard. And I have been reading B. Obama's supporters constructing a reality that goes like this: only racists support J. McCain. And J. McCain is seeking a mandate to continue racism.
I also see others complaining that the Republicans are playing the gender card in their selecting S. Palin. Very interesting. |

You think the Bobster was racist? How?

ROFLMAO.
But that is not true. Versus the Clintons.

It's worth remembering that the majority of blacks still think O.J. Simpson is innocent. And, in times like these, when a black man is out front in the public eye, black people feel both proud and vulnerable and, as a result, scour the earth for evidence of racists plotting to bring him down, like an advance team ready to sound an alarm. Barack needed only a gesture, a quick sneer or nod in the direction of the Clintons' hidden racism to avail himself of the twisted love that rescued O.J. and others like him and to smooth his path to victory, and, therefore, to salvage his candidacy. After Donna Brazile and James Clyburn started to cry racism, Barack was repeatedly asked his thoughts. He declined to answer, allowing the charge to grow for days (in sharp contrast to how he leapt to Joe Biden's defense a month earlier). But, while he remained silent about the allegations of racism, he gave speeches across South Carolina that warned against being "hoodwinked" and "bamboozled" by the Clintons. His use of the phrase is resonant. It comes from a scene in Malcolm X, where Denzel Washington warns black people about the hidden evils of "the White Man" masquerading as a smiling politician: "Every election year, these politicians are sent up here to pacify us," he says. "You've been hoodwinked. Bamboozled."
By uttering this famous phrase, Obama told his black audience everything it needed to know. He was helping to convince blacks that the first two-term Democratic president in 50 years, a man referred to as the first black president, is in fact a secret racist. As soon as I heard that Obama had quoted from Malcolm X like this, I knew that Obama would win South Carolina by a massive margin. |
Versus McCain.
| Obama wrote: |
| And so the only way they figure they�re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me. So what they�re saying is, �Well, we know we�re not very good but you can�t risk electing Obama. You know, he�s new, he�s... doesn�t look like the other presidents on the currency, you know, he�s got a, he�s got a funny name.' |
The reason why Obama isn't using it now is because it is always a risky play. It is also better suited for battling for the African-American vote in the primaries than the white male vote in the general.

Likewise, the new Republican tactic is to stymie criticism of Palin's inexperience by claiming she's facing sexism. This with more force and shameless than Hillary's camp ever did. |
