Obama won’t lose for being black but for not being American enough
The TelegraphUK ^ | August 25, 2008 | Janet Daley

The Left is preparing its excuse in advance for Barack Obama losing the presidential election. All together now, let’s hear it: It’s All About Race. However few Americans there may be who are actually prepared to utter the words, “I wouldn’t vote for a black man”, the truth, it is said, is that racial bigotry is at the heart of Obama’s failure to take a convincing lead.

Indeed, on some accounts, the fact of people refusing to utter those words is proof that racism is the main issue in this campaign. So if you say them you’re a bigot, and if you don’t say them, you’re a closet bigot. And on what evidence is this argument, which it is logically impossible to disprove, being based? From what I can see in the published versions, it rests largely on some crass jokes from the shock-jock community, the mumblings of gun-shop customers and a “virulent internet campaign”.

‘This election will be a little bit about race, a lot more about class and a very great deal about what it means to be identifiably American.’

If you are a Republican, you can be purple or orange, I will vote for you. How’s that????

I’m not voting against him because he’s black, I’m voting against him because he’s red.

An American novel about the 6-year-old wife of Mohammed, Aisha, may end up being released in Denmark, after publishing company Random House dropped its plans to print the book.

Danish publishers association Trykkeselskabet has given its blessing to Sherry Jones' novel 'The Jewel of Medina' to be released in Denmark. Random House pulled out of its contract to publish the book after fear of reprisals from Muslims, and Jones' agent is looking for buyers.

Random House CEO has some pretty soft cajones, much like the Pillsbury dough boy. Freedom of the Press....yep, as long as it’s some frivolous piece to print. Afraid of the muslims...but, but, the muslims are people of peace....
