Only 22% Say McCain Ad Racist, But Over Half (53%) See Obama Dollar-bill Comment That Way

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 8/3/08

Senator McCain, why insult Britney Spears and Paris Hilton?

[moose2004]

Obama still leads by 1 point today (47 - 46) in Rasmussen’s Daily Poll, last Sunday he was leading by 6. Sorry Obambi, too bad.

I’m kinda’ at a loss here. How does obama-ites equate the McCain ad to racism? By comparing a black person to whites? I just plain don’t see it!

ObamaSamma in his drug induced wet dream narcistic fanatasies, views himself like this:

The reality is shown below:

Or this one:

“how do the” replaces “does” . . .

Headline?

22% say selection of Cantor for VP racist
Obama: "Shows nostalgia for days of blackface crooner Eddie Cantor"

Overall, just 22% of voters believe that most Americans are racist. That view is shared by 32% of Democrats, 20% of unaffiliated voters and 12% of Republicans. African-American voters are evenly divided on the question.

If Obama keeps pushing that any negative comment is racist, he might just split that Black vote.

[ShandaLear]

Have you forgotten Obama is half white? ;-)

[Polybius]

As for Obama’s comment, 53% of white voters saw it as racist, as did 44% of African-Americans .....

According to the Obama campaign, that 44% of African Americans must be members of the Ku Klux Klan.

“Obama still leads by 1 point today (47 - 46) in Rasmussen’s Daily Poll, last Sunday he was leading by 6. Sorry Obambi, too bad.”

This is, Obama at 47% is done. It will never go higher.

[Radl]

Sounds like 22% are a bit racist themselves.

Their convoluted arguments were that McCain was implying that ObamaOsama was being presented as a black person who steals white women away from white men, something on that order. It really took a suspension of reality, to quote the hilda beast,to see the ad in that light.

[Chode]

Buck Obama... Obama Bucks are like Carbon Credits and worth just as much. So get some now and feel good about yourself while you trade them with your friends and relatives.

Well, first off.. the Left is not interested in discourse. Leftists are interested in "issues" that are not issues -- as David Horowitz has explained. "Issues" are weapons. The issue and the only issue for leftists is IMO "Bring it all down, man."

This white women "issue" is connected to Tennessee, I believe.

The Republican Party ran a television advertisement where a white woman, played by Johanna Goldsmith, talks about meeting [black candidate] Ford, who was unmarried at the time, at "the Playboy party." The ad was denounced by many people, including former Republican Senator and Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton, William Cohen, who called it "a very serious appeal to a racist sentiment."

Racist against what? Fake blondes?

[eyedigress]

Your being statist now.

[Mygirlsmom]

If McCain declares the sky blue at least 30% of people polled would say it’s a racist comment. That response is hard-wired into a percentage of the population.

So this is The One dollar bill they are talking about.
