What If Obama Loses?
Newsweek ^ | 27 September 2008 | Allison Samuels

Posted on 10/06/2008 8:32:39 PM PDT by Terrence DoGood

Racism, naturally, plays a part in the conversation. "I've never forgotten that he is a smart, articulate black man with a smart, articulate black wife," says Linda Wright, 34, a nurse's assistant from Houston."You think white people were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land without a fight?" The overriding feeling is apprehension, a vague fear of losing something people thought was theirs to keep. "My kids love Obama and they think it's so obvious he should be the president," says actor D. L. Hughley. "I was just honest in saying life isn't always fair and certainly isn't always fair for African-Americans. But Obama has overcome so many obstacles, it's easy to forget reality."

There's not a lot of anger—yet—but you can start to sense the potential for it. "I'm going to be mad, real mad, if he doesn't win," says Daetwon Fisher, 21, a construction worker from Long Beach, Calif. "Because for him to come this far and lose will be just shady and a slap in black people's faces. I know there is already talk about protests and stuff if he loses, and I'm down for that."

More importantly, you dumbasses at Newsweek, is to think about “What if he WINS?”

Summary: We’re all racists if Obama loses.

If the idiots riot, call out the NATIONAL GUARD, bust some heads, establish order and watch the DNC lost its credibility for a generation or two.

In other words, lets riot and get some free stuff..

This scenario is why we have the 2nd Amendment

If Obama loses, we will see an implosion on the left. The American left is so invested in victory this year, that an Obama loss means a devastation of the progressive (socialist) wing of Democrat party, which would likely lead to a power struggle within the party, and thus a split, rendering the Democrat party unviable in national elections for a period of time.

Imagine what would have happened to the conservative movement in this country had Ronald Reagan lost to Jimmy Carter? We may have never recovered. Newt and the class of 1994 probably would never have happened.

This is primarily the reason why I want McCain win. It’s not because I like McCain, it’s because I despise Obama, and his defeat means the defeat of the American Left which will be felt for several election cycles going forward.

Much like Clinton’s alleged charm and intelligence, the affirmative action Obama’s intelligence eludes me totally. And his hateful, racist wife...best not go there.....

They want to relive the Odinga riots.

Power-sharing for Obama?

No doubt they'll try it.

Well, I am glad that DL’s kids can’t vote.

As far as Daetwon (where do these names come from?) goes, getting close only counts, as the old saying goes, in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Why would it be "shady?"

Could you accept that people just didn't want to vote for a terrorist-loving commie?

Whether he wins or loses, there will be violence. If he wins, there will be lots of “payback” for generations of perceived ills against those of the darker persuasion, taken out against people who may have had nothing to do with it.

A poster in an email group I’m in said “he can’t wait for Obama to win” when getting in trouble for having to pull up his pants. Put up his fist and said “Revolution”.

Either way this goes, it’s going to be ugly.
