Oh, no? Stay home protest, vote third party and Barack Hussing will land his sorry a&& into the White House.

[kcvl]

I can try, right?

Absolutely! That is what Al Sharpton does every time Imus opens his mouth. I think Rev. Al needs to worry about paying his taxes and leave the race hustling to someone else.

I wouldn’t want him ANYWHERE near my bowling team.

Joe Klein is an incoherant boob.

[unkus]

I’m holding my nose and voting McCain. Better to hold our noses than hold our ankles.

[samadams2000]

We’ll be doing both either way I’m afraid.

[unkus]

We are entering the most dangerous time in American History. Our very survival is now at stake. A comprehensive view of our situation is scary.

The poor half negro... Victim of five hundred years of oppression. vote for him, even though he's a racist marxist retard or YOU are the racist. Sign me up. Call me any name you like. You race baiting scum are irrelevant.

It was an obtuse comment by Rove. I can't blame Klein, hack that he is, for making a rejoinder.

Here's Karl's version 1.0 from the Times of London:

“You have probably seen this kind of guy at London parties, trailing ash from a fashionable cigarette into the carpet and making snide remarks about someone ‘being an abominable bore’,” Mr Rove said.

Obama is an arrogant guy. He's had things his way lately. People hang on his every word. That's enough to make anybody arrogant.

But he's not a "country club" guy. Nothing to do with Republicans or racism, it's just that he's not a suburbanite or a golfer. I doubt he's going around calling people "abominable bores" either.

Whether or not he's really more arrogant than other politicians, or other Democrat Senators and presidential candidates he's not going to stand in a corner and snipe, when he can enjoy being the center of attention. Few politicians would.

Rove is pretty tone-deaf lately. His comments may have more to do with his own situation than anything else. He seems determined to go the way of some other political celebrities who people are begging to keep out of the limelight.

‘..better to hold our noses than our ankles’
LOL

[I see my hands]

True story:

At a very nice public course black guy in a twosome asks four white guys if he and his black partner may play through. White guys say sure. Black guy says "That's mighty white of you fellas."

I love it.

I’m a racist, just not as racist as Joe Klien. Must be that Jew/Black thing still going on with him.

Pray for W and Our Troops

"I just think that the image is kind of hilarious when you think about it: Barack Obama at a country club sipping a martini."

One man's country club and martini is another man's limousine and cocaine.

Oh,wait a minute.....Same man.

[HardStarboard]

I heard someone quote Dennis Miller on a classic line he said on his show yesterday - it needs to be used every time Barack uses the race card in his campaign....

"I haven't got a problem with the color of his skin, but I do with how thin it seems to be!!

WOW - bingo!

[CaliforniaCon]

Obama is already whining “racism” at every turn. Now where’s that pic of the little kid with caption saying “that’s racsis” (sic)

Cracks me up every time I see it.

[rfp1234]

Riiiiight...so do people like Obama hang out in bowling alleys and score below 40?

[chiller]

Perhaps the all white cc you mention isn’t very opened minded, but people/groups should be freely allowed to associate with whomever they choose.

Here is the one I have...
