from the article: Certainly, Republican John McCain has his own obstacles: He's an ally of an unpopular president and would be the nation's oldest first-term president.

Why is it that left-wingers keep trying to push this fraudulent statement when there have been years and years of it being untrue?

Yet...they want their sheeple to think "guilty by association," right?

So please ask the next one you see who believes this...then Obama is layered with guilt for his associations to the Muslims from other countries who are funding him, as well as his friends -Ayers, Wright, Alinsky, Rezko, et al...all of them who are hate-mongers or suspiciously unscrupulous businessmen. Somehow, they just don't apply the same measure, do they? They would rather vote for a guy who has serious, anti-American, terrorist sympathizer connections, who has belief in more government control and calls that "change"...than elect a highly honored patriot who gave years of his life in service for his country in the military, and has fought the take-over of government control and the good ole boys network in Washington in an effort to protect the freedoms Americans should never lose.

Everything you said is exactly correct. And, to prove he is rallying his forces and getting them hyped up for attacks is his recently given "Get in their face," speech. The Obama camps that have been begun to train these people are turning them into true aggitators. Where will they go with this pent-up aggrivation that is being bred into them at these camps? Unfortunately, they will be on the ready to turn violent by the time they complete the training being given to them. This is the undercurrent that is so frightening, and the stupid media has paid absolutely no attention to this. I fear there will be some very bad incidents around election time because it is becoming more apparant that Obama has lost his charm with many Americans who have taken a closer look. The veneer has worn off - more and more are seeing Obama for the threat he is to our country.

This has nothing to do with race. If you ask that direct question: Would you vote for a black person for President? - about every person will tell you they would vote for someone like Colin Powell, or Connie Rice (if they were running). Obviously skin color is not important if the candidate is worthwhile, experienced, and trustworthy. But the leftists would rather have an all-out riot than accept that truth.

Also, a few weeks ago, it was reported that Obama made a very clear statement to his campaign staff. He said "I didn't get in this to come in second," (actually that was stupid because in a race between two people there is just a winner and a loser..no "second" place!). Anyway, that was more like a threat. Obama is threatening his own people and trying to psyche them to be frightened of him and what retaliations might come if he does not win. For Obama it has always, always been a campaign of putting fear in the minds of the public, fear in the minds of his staffers. Sounds like Hitler tactics to me!

You know, something about this symbol of Obama's really puzzles me. Not that we don't all think it is simply audacious of him...but I think there is another meaning to this design related to his (what he says is not) Muslim faith. I just suspect this is not his interpretation of some sort of patriotic allegiance to our country. I think there is an underlying meaning for the design...something not obviously noticeable.

In the Sudan, the flag of Islam has a white stripe to represent Islam. Obama's flag seems to me to be a representation of a sun setting ( Obama) the white circle part over the desert (the red part) with white stripes (Islam) going across the desert. Blue sky of course. Maybe that's not exactly it, but I just think this design is based on his real faith...the one he does not admit to.

This story is still featured on Yahoo and making the rounds today. I wonder if they are trying to guilt the white dems back into obedience.

Now he is trying to shame white democrats into voting for Obama by laying a guilt trip on them and calling them racists.

Please God Almighty, reveal the Truth of this deception unto them, and the Source of it, and make all lies backfire on those who use them to deceive, from now until the Election and beyond. In the Name of your Son, Ya'shua, Amen.

“While Obama is the nominee because of his celebratory shine, he is black. He may be a pure as the driven snow nonracist, but if elected, he will be besieged by Blacks who are all racists and who will demand on penalty of political death that Hussein do their bidding.
That will result in Detroit or Philadelphia or Memphis or on and on and on. A black man in the Whitehouse will simply destroy the country. He will not be able to help it”

Thanks for having the courage to state this. I believe the same.

This is EXACTLY why it is not time for even a _conservative_ “black president”, for even he would find himself beholden to the black masses clamoring for “their share”. A conservative black would feel compelled to assuage and appease this crowd nearly as much as would a leftist black - for if he did not, he would be attacked so viciously as to make his administration unworkable.

Time and time again on FR, I see posting after posting after posting after posting (had enough?) saying, to the effect: it’s not about racism.... blah, blah, blah.

Don’t those who post such statements realize that their compulsion to state as much is - in itself - yet another form of “white guilt”?

I have no white guilt. After surviving more than one unprovoked attack upon myself by blacks in my life, my opinions might be considered “racist” by some, but I’ve literally had them “beaten into me”. So you may call me racist if you wish, I do not care.

The “race factor” definitely IS one of the more critical factors this year. I daresay that if McCain wins, and if his victory is shown to be based upon a large contingent of white, democratic voters “voting against” Obama because of his race, it will have been proven to have been “the deciding factor”.

I accept that. I realize it may be “less than logical” to do so, but then, racial identification itself (as a human behavior trait) is based less on the intellect than it is on the emotions. It’s a “gut level” thing that bonds - and divides - humans on the most base level. I accept that, too, as one of the realities of life.

As noble as we _think_ ourselves to be, we cannot deny such things.
It is the attempt to deny them, that forms the fallacy of liberalism.

Let’s be more honest about it, OK?

- John
