Racism alarms Obama's backers

I'm worried about racism, too. Apparently ninety percent of Democrat blacks, when given a choice between two similar candidates, will base their decisions on skin color. Imagine that! The entire demographic needs “re-education” and “sensitivity training”.

[jennyjenny]

Oh my, even the dogs in Kokomo suburbs(?) are racists.

[Jeff Head]

My understanding is that he is. We know he was earlier in his career. That is not a PS’d photo.

[AppyPappy]

Yes, he claimed he is trying to quit. That was during the primary

[jennyjenny]

I’m not buying that either. Nor do I buy the vandalism that wasn’t reported. No way the media ignored that if it really happened.

[Postman]

Excellent!

[prolifefirst]

I would be surprised if this kind of racism didn’t show itself, but this is not one of the top reasons that Obama is going to get destroyed in the general.

[JLS]

All they are doing is making polls less and less reliable and their surprise election night all the larger.

[B Knotts]

From the headline, I thought this was about Obama’s racism.

Y’know, like calling his own grandmother a “typical white person.”

[prolifefirst]

One caller, Switzer remembers, said he couldn't possibly vote for Obama and concluded: "Hang that darky from a tree!"

Is this for real? I'm skeptical.

If you send thousands of Obama supports out to meet the public how could you not get this kind of response occasionally.

[ncalburt]

MTSU is a mostly black college in TN.

[prolifefirst]

One of the points that he made was that Obama clearly holds opposite views to Rev Wright.

Oh... had to stop right there and laugh.

Most conservative pundits say the same. Michael Medved for instance.

I don't understand it.

[prolifefirst]

I find it hard to believe that any significant number of people would refuse to vote for a candidate because of African ancestry.

I think the opposite is true.

(1) If you don't think a "significant number of people" would vote against Obama because he's black, you and I have completely different experiences in America.

(2) On the other hand, I agree that a well-qualified candidate who happens to be black would get even more votes for that reason.

[Antoninus]

Yep. If you don't vote for Barry O, you're a racist.

That's the line. Get ready for it.

[The Woim]

Now that B. Obama has the Democratic nomination almost certainly wrapped up, the PsyOps begins. PsyOps is a campaign of misinformation mixed in with some everyday truths and political activism with the end purpose of convincing enough people that rampant racism is the reason Barack’s not everyone’s hero.

Sen. McCain, a deeply flawed and sometimes untrustworthy candidate, will realize soon that the MSM hates him just as much, maybe even more, than Rush Limbaugh. At least the MSM doesn’t think Rush is trying to put one over on them.

Get ready for far out stories with little support to make the MSM headlines. You’re going to hear about nameless volunteers for Obama being pelted with tomatoes and called “n-— lover” and you’re going to hear of nooses. And the letters “KKK” will be painted on Obama’s door at various campaign locations in places OTHER THAN THE SOUTH because the PsyOps program is to shock us.

Hey, I think the entire concept of “RACISM” is nothing more than one side trying to silence the other side and I frankly don’t believe in the concept. The very term “RACISM” should be seen for the intellectually bankrupt concept that it actually is. It’s also Marxist in nature and invented to create violent divisions in a capitalist society - but that’s beside the point.

Be ready, guys. We’re going to get some far out stories soon.

Yours truly,
The Woim

I think it is important to note:

Obama’s statement in SF about bitter voters was in response to a question as to why he is unable to connect with some voters.

His statement reveals that he believes the ONLY reason someone doesn’t vote for him are found in that statment about being bitter etc.

Also if you notice in the Washington Post article the example given is in a state he lost.

So Senator Obama claims that the states he loses is because of racism, not his beliefs.

This also is howw he has played the race card from the beginning.

They are suspiciously short on actual DETAILS of these "racial slurs". This is just more of the race card being played by the Obama campaign. We're racist if we're white (black liberation theology), we're racist if we mention his middle name, we're racist if we mention Wright, we're racist if we point out his complete lack of experience, we're racist if we ask for the DETAILS of this "change" he keeps promising....we get it. We're racist if we don't support Obama, WHATEVER the reason.

As for the vandalism, that was IGNORANT and plays RIGHT INTO what Obama says. So...if it was conservatives, SAME ON THEM! IDIOTS! PUT IT ON A T-SHIRT OR BUMPER STICKER! We DON'T break the law!

But....it could have been Obama's crew that did it. I notice an American flag was stolen...maybe they couldn't bear to take the Cuban Che one down.

"I will never vote for a black person who was raised to hate America during his or her early years, then taught to hate white people by his or her minister for the last twenty years."

I will never vote for anyone who hates this country as much as Obama's words and actions show he does.
