Rasmussen reports that nearly half of African Americans consider Barack Obama's "Dollar Bill" comments racist. That is a staggering number and spells big trouble for Obama.
From the same survey:
There were also significant partisan divides. Democrats were evenly divided as to whether the McCain commercial was racist, and they were also evenly divided on the Obama comment. Republicans, by an 87% to 4% margin, rejected the notion that the McCain campaign ad was racist. But, by a 67% to 26% margin, GOP voters believe that Obama’s comment was racist.
Unaffiliated voters, by a five-to-one margin, said the McCain ad was not racist. By a much narrower 50% to 38% margin, unaffiliateds viewed Obama’s comment as racist.

As for Obama’s comment, 53% of white voters saw it as racist, as did 44% of African-Americans and 61% of all other voters.
McCain is getting more hard-hitting, but he is carefully staying away from anything remotely racist. Obama is the one sounding desperate; trying to inject race and attribute it to McCain. Already, the Obama toe-lickers are all quacking "racist, racist" to any criticism of The One.
Like the boy who cried, "Fire" Obama and his crew won't get sympathy when race (not racist) issues are raised later: subjects like Rev. Wright, the entire Muslim angle, and whether Obama and Michelle deserved the many, many advantages they were given.
Anyone who truly doesn’t see it as racist...truly...isn’t a candidate for serious discussion. Such a dolt would have zip to add to the discussion.
That may be troubling for Obama, but it's encouraging for the rest of us who don't want to view America through race-colored glasses.
Obama is most definitely a black racist. What do you think he was doing sitting in a black racist church for 20 years and not seeing anything wrong with it. No racist, black or white, should be running for President of the USA. We are a nation of all races of people.
Well let’s test the theory. Imagine if McCain had said:
“They’re going to say bad things about me cause I don’t talk like them in the hood and I don’t look like the guys on the rap album covers.”
What would the news be?
Of course he is.
What I was commenting on is that is 44% of Blacks consider O's comments (rather than McCain's response) racist.
How strange you would seem, as a conservative, to a right winger of 1950. He most definitely didn’t want to sing kumbaya, and considered himself a Christian European by descent, with all the burdens and privileges which accompany it. He most definitely recognized that his culture was superior, because if you don’t, then what are you trying to ‘conserve?’ 1964-to present?
We may be a nation of all races, now, and increasingly more so in the future, but our culture is American, which was based on European culture, and then improved on, the various European cultures that our Forefathers came from, not the culture of the World. Thats why we don’t make women wear veils, nor do we bind infant girls feet, although we have people here who practice these things in their own native countries. To suggest otherwise is to deny history, and you become susceptible to the danger of forgetting who you are and how you got there.
American exceptionalism, learn it, live it, love it.
