If only you listened to Rush more... and you should. About 30 million of us do.

Hey tool... Either you can’t count (I clearly stated that the 2nd one - the “F” word, is one I’ve used in the past... Not the “N” word... Or, you’re trying to call me a racist... Either way, your tactics are disgusting

[disraeligears]

I’ve listened to him most every day since 1992. Sorry folks, but no one is rebutting my basic arguments.

[disraeligears]

Sorry, but again your argument fails. I was replying to your sarcastic remark implying that this forum shouldn’t delete or discourage certain language; although you did make the exception for “stupid” (understandably so)

[NYC Republican]

It’s not THE N word. Already mentioned that many times here.

2007 LA Times article--Obama the 'Magic Negro' The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.

"The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia"

[disraeligears]

And frankly, I am not trying to call you a racist; I’ll let others judge, because I don’t. I just don’t think certain language should be used in polite society. I don’t think Ronald Reagan would use it today, in public or private. But go ahead, be my guest.

[NYC Republican]

The mods may not strike it due to free speech issues

Wrong. The mods can strike down ANYTHIGN they see fit, and can BAN anyone, for any reason... Like I said, we're ALL guests in their living room... They control whatever they want... They (rightfully) can filter as they wish

He’s there to assuage white “guilt” (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.

Thanks Kabar

[disraeligears]

You are quite right, in that Jim can ban me if that is his wish. Although I would hope that he would not given that I am expressing my opinion, in a civil manner (even though I am being called a tool by one of your apparent supporters). Jim can feel free to review my past history of postings and know that I am not a hack, tool, etc.

I just don’t think it helps the conservative cause by using the phrase “Magic Negro” and I bet that a good number of folks who come to this site on a regular basis agree.

[NYC Republican]

I just don’t think certain language should be used in polite societyIs that now the barometer for what can or can not be used? Really? I go back to my other post, let's all gather more words... "PC"... and..... go!

[kabar]

The word negro, now considered by many as archaic and offensive, is used intentionally to suggest that the archetype is a racist throwback, an update of the "Sambo" and "savage other" stereotypes. Spike Lee popularized the term, deriding the archetype of the "super-duper magical negro" in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University.

[LibLieSlayer]

Sorry FRiend... it is people like you that have allowed the left to steal legitimate words from the English vocabulary. You are wrong and that fact will not change if you get the last word...which you will this time. I'm done with trying to reason with you. Negro comes from the word Negra... which means black. Look how many wines use that word today... sheesh.

Sorry but I refuse to have your pc sensibilities imposed upon me. Negro, colored, black...whatever.

Is the 'Negro College Fund' racist? Is the Nationl Association for the Advancement of Colored People racist? OK...bad examples of course they're both racist but not because of their use of the terms negro or colored.

[bluebunny]

Nonsense. The economic woes have been created because of the economic philosophies that both parties are wedded to but won’t rid even though they are hurting the American worker. It’s been brewing for years but it’s finally coming to head.

[NYC Republican]

Nope- you.re wrong

[goldfinch]

HtMMN = Hussein the Magic Musl Neg... or am I not allowed to use those words?

I just post here so I cannot tell anyone what words to use. That said, I think there is plenty to hit Obama on without bringing race into it. I know the MN phrase was coined by a black columnist, but repeating it is still taking the low road. Just my opinion.

[goldfinch]

OH, NV and CO, ok. Add NH to the list.

I live in Colorado and am not totally confident McCain will carry the state. There is still lots of work to be done here. I wouldn't bet on either OH or NV either. McCain has been running behind in polls in OH...and the Republicans need OH to win.

Which harmful economic policies were pushed by the Democrats?

Which harmful policies were pushed by the Republicans?

Which harmful policies did John McCain push?
