The Black Senator Who Could Challenge Hillary

The Telegraph took McWhorter's quote completely out of context- it's from an NY Sun article posted here about 2 weeks ago:

He was saying that the only reason Obama is being mentioned is his race, if he was white no one would be promoting a freshman Senator as a presidental candidate.

I agree with you in theory, but Warren G. Harding and John F. Kennedy, the only two men who I believe directly made the jump from Senator to President succeeded two-term Presidents of the opposite party - Woodrow Wilson and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr

Even more unfortunate than Osama!

And "Barack" is Kenyan for "Fidel". ;-)

[TracyTucson]

He's just a darker version of John 'Mah Daddy Worked at a Mill' Edwards, a poverty-pimp that is nice to look at but a millionaire behind it all.

And "Barack" is Kenyan for "Fidel".

I was afraid you were going to say it was a North African slang for "George".

So.. you like finely tuned hair?

Get out the popcorn! This is going to be fun to watch.

"Good conservative Hispanic candidates?!?" Please, bite your tongue! We do NOT need more La Raza types in power (and ALL Hispanics are secretly in favor of La Raza, no matter what they say in public). "For the face, everything...for those outside the race, nothing."

No, thanks, America doesn't need this. Or haven't you read your copy of Pat Buchanan's book yet? :)

[oceanview]

well, if "all hispanics" are La Raza types as you claim - then this country is gone anyway, so it hardly matters.

[outdriving]

"what we need to do, is get some good conservative Hispanic candidates - some visible people, groom them for our team. To beat a guy like Obama, you need major Hispanic support. The Hispanics don't cower to this "white guilt" syndrome regarding African Americans."

What a crock. You are drinking the same kool aid Karl Rove is feeding to GWB. With the notable exception of Cubans, Hispanics are overwhelmingly Democrat voters. Look at California.

All this "family values don't stop at the border" is a load. Most Hispanics are moving here from places with a long history of oligarchic domination wrapped in a veneer of populist socialism. Can you say "Ted Kennedy"?

Their leadership; La Raza, LULAC, et al, are socialist victimhood advocacy's that are modeling themselves after the African-American victimhood industry. They are all for encouraging "White Guilt".

In spite of their rapidly growing numbers, Hispanics only accounted for 8% of the votes in the last Presidential election. Hardly a deciding factor compared to the 70% white vote. Or even the Black vote.

What the Republicans need to do is groom a candidate that cares about closing the borders and eliminating cheap citizenship. It would be easy to negate the pro-alien vote with all the cross-over Democrats that also want to stop the invasion. And even if they are afraid to say so publicly, there are more than enough. And a lot of them happen to be Blacks that have been run out of their neighborhoods in LA, or have lost their jobs to cheap labor.

He's a communist:

"There is a collective spirit that says our possibilities are boundless," Obama said. But "it seems as if we have an administration that believes in an ownership society … instead of believing we're all in it together, you're on your own."

[Republican Wildcat]

(and ALL Hispanics are secretly in favor of La Raza, no matter what they say in public).

I certainly hope you are being sarcastic, because if not your stupidity is incredible - not to mention you'd also be a racist.

I second that.

I did not know I was in favor of "La Raza". Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Obama seems to have many different stories about his religious background.

http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0804/0804obamafaith.htm

Obama the Christian is a devout believer in unlimited abortion rights. He denies the existence of Hell. He came to Christianity through social organizing with activist religious.

***His devout Christianity derives from the secular humanist "values" his atheist mother imbued him with.****

He believes, with all his heart, in the separation of church and state – except when he campaigns in black churches, in violation of that separation, and in violation of the tax code. Obama wears his religion on his sleeve in churches, but in dealing with the mainstream media criticizes such behavior.

[hinckley buzzard]

McWhorter's observation was an attempt, imo accurate, at analysis of the meaning of an Obama candidacy to the larger community. The nomination by a major party, whether the 'rats or GOP , of a Black candidate, would send a compelling message about the decline and waning of racism in America. Nowhere did I see where McWhorter "supported" Obama as opposed to (say) Ken Blackwell.

"America will not elect someone named [B. HUSSEIN] OBAMA"

I may be a little late to the thread .. I'm catching up on several weeks of neglect of the FR, but ..

Yep. I would never be able to find myself "pulling the lever" for someone named B. HUSSEIN OBAMA! Sorry, he might be a nice guy, and he may not even be a Muslim, but (1) his name is too close to a sworn diabolically evil enemy of the U.S. who is responsible for thousands of deaths of Americans, and (2) he is a member of the wrong Party!

This is probably bad to admit .. but this goes through my mind every time I hear the name:

"You say Obama, I say Osama. You say Osama, I say Obama. Obama! Osama! Osama! Obama! Let's call the whole thing off .."

[SunkenCiv]

Mr Obama is disproving the adage that Washington is "Hollywood for ugly people". He is the Denzil Washington of Capitol Hill...

Whoever the hell "Denzil" Washington is, eh? Looks like another well-informed and racially sensitive foreign reporter at work.
