With all the ad hominem attacks in this piece, I just had to see what a "Sikivu" looked like.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Great big racist me.

"Maverick" John McCain and attack-dog Sarah Palin seem to have staked their entire campaign on the powers of racial revulsion. "Linking Obama to William Ayers and domestic terrorism, Palin exhorted that ‘this is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America,'" while McCain "melds xenophobic and Orientalist rhetoric, conjuring up the dark inscrutable treasonous Other when he asks ‘who is the real Barack Obama.'" Together, McCain and Palin "tap into the deepest reservoirs of white racial angst."
Cindy McCain has spoken. Shellacked white blond hair bristling with outrage, the beermeister lit into Barack Obama recently at an election rally, accusing him of voting against troop supply funding for soldiers in Iraq and thus endangering her enlisted son. The beermeister's liberation from St John power suit-cosseted trophy wife to mother bear-firebrand has been hastened by Sarah Palin's transformation into the self-styled attack dog of the McCain campaign. The visual choreography of McCain events now spotlights the two in tandem-Palin rallying the Christian soldiers onward with her nationalist screeds on homeland security while the beermeister hovers close behind in all her Stepford glory. Snatching a page from their nativist 19th century white feminist forebears, the beermeister and the demagogue evoke a nightmare vision of black insurgency. Linking Obama to William Ayers and domestic terrorism, Palin exhorted that "this is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America," to her rapt audiences.
Despite all his efforts to distance himself from a black agenda, the assiduously race-averse Obama is still playing as a fist in the air Black Muslim to the American Legionnaires in east Overshoe. In response to Palin's innuendo, lynch mob chants of "terrorist," "treason" and "kill him" have been gleefully hurled at Obama, eliciting the usual tepid condemnations from the McCain camp. McCain's contempt for Obama as lawn jockey crashing the country club was on snarling display during Tuesday's debate when the uber male American war hero couldn't bring himself to look at the Senator and infamously referred to him as "that one." In a desperate attempt to reverse his falling poll numbers, McCain melds xenophobic and Orientalist rhetoric, conjuring up the dark inscrutable treasonous Other when he asks "who is the real Barack Obama."
"The McCain-Palin doubletalk express taps into the deepest reservoirs of white racial angst."
Yet it is Palin who is the great white hope, mobilizing the faithful in the hinterlands while exploiting the far right electorate's bloodlust. And what better messenger to paint Obama as a black subversive than Palin, whose pro-death (in the sense that she believes that a fetus should supersede the right to life of a real woman) views would even prohibit a woman from getting an abortion in cases of rape and incest? Far right prohibitions on women exercising rights over their own bodies and destinies have a direct correlation with the preservation of God, country and the virtues of white womanhood. Nationhood and the territorialization of white femininity have always been inextricably linked in the American imagination. D.W. Griffith's anti-Reconstruction epic Birth of a Nation, based on Thomas Dixon's The Clansman, associated black rule with miscegenation and the rape of white women. Racial terrorism against Reconstruction-era black legislators was justified on the grounds of protecting the Union from the scourge of race-mixing and a slide into anarchy. Insofar as an Obama presidency foreshadows these primal threats to home and hearth it won't matter that McCain backs welfare handouts for the Wall Street and multinationals and shrugs off his ignorance about how many houses he has while morphing into a populist.
By evoking this symbolism, the McCain-Palin doubletalk express taps into the deepest reservoirs of white racial angst. It has become a truism among many white left progressives that working class whites are essentially voting against their class interests when they vote conservative, but are they really? The scores of white Democrat undecided voters and the all white legions who throng to the McCain-Palin circus tent revivals prove that white class solidarity has been, and always will be, about the defense of the homeland from the incursions of the Other.

...And from what I hear about tonight's debate, Obama's now on the ropes.
And please rest assured the fire breather doesn't speak for this Black female.
LOL! So this is how the other side thinks? Yeah, it’s all about race. It doesn’t have anything to do with Obama’s big government wealth redistribution schemes. Naw. We’re just trying to maintain our white empire...geesh!
It’s sad to be that angry.
Obama is about Marxism
written by Arlen , October 15, 2008ACORN and similar organizations were formed by people out of the SDS and Black Power movements and the extreme left of the labor movement.
Barack Obama was mentored by communist and sex pervert, Frank Marshall Davis, from ages 10-18.
Ayers, Dohrn, Alice Palmer, the New Party, Wright, Rasheid Khalidi, Mazen Asbahi, Khalid al Monsour, Frances Fox Piven, Saul Alinsky.... all Marxist a/o Islamist figures formative in presenting America with Barack Obama.
And one of the latest, the Marxist/pro-Islamist despot of Kenya, for whom Obama campaigned on the taxpayer's dime: Raila Odinga.
The Marxist Messiah wants you.
This article is typical of those who hold a marxist philosophy, be they white or black. Pacifica radio is radical and I’ve met some of them. The Other is a form of government that would replace our current Constitution and it has nothing to do with Obama as a person. That is the Other I don’t want.
It’s all the left has had since 1994.
As far as talking points go, if Obama looses, and the racist claim is made, we can point out that the Republicans weren’t going to vote for the Democrat whether it was Clinton, Edwards or Obama, which means the racist Democrats jumped ship and voted for McCain.
What a miseducated half-wit.
Its amazing how a publication claiming to be their city’s “leading black newspaper” can get away with this despicable outing?

Do you think ACORN is funding the Tennessee Tribune for shaming these black citizens into voting?
A commentator for radio Pacifica no less, no wonder her
rant is filled with the lexicon of communist rhetoric.
More vote for him because he's black and oh BTW, anything you say that's negative makes you automatically mean spirited, racist, or xenophobic. And of course, Republicans are fat white money grabbing swines, that are prejudiced, and poor Obama is the victim, got it.

Odd, I thought she would be a 19 year oldish college freshman or sophomore based on the quality of the writing. Better work on that hate, lady; it will eat you from the inside out.
Girls got a nose like a bloodhound.. Hope she can smell some conservatism..
Reminds me of Gungadin O'Houlihan.
She appears to be a Negro. Either that, or the aliens have indeed landed.
But why, if she isn't eaten up with her own hatred, would she write these words? Check it out:

Whoop! There it is! -- Commie radio, bigger'n sh$t.
And how do I know she's peddling hate? "Stepford"? "East Overshoe"? That's contempt. That's the hate talking, calling to other hate to come out and play.
So she's a hater, unless, of course, she's a Communist agitator instead, in which case it's not hate at all -- it's just all business.
