During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for for holding the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups.

"It's unfair because we are not treated as white in society and by the government, but we also don't qualify as minorities to get the benefits of some programs" such as minority contracts, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Regional Director Imad Hamad said. The concern arose because, for the first time, the regular 2010 U.S. census form eliminates a question asking people about their ancestry. Government officials say they shortened the form so... upi via email, no link http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2409689/posts#comment Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:20:07 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2328310/posts This guy is just a racist...clearly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUre-TwijR0 YouTube http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2328310/posts#comment Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:27:25 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2302915/posts notoriouslyconservative.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2302915/posts#comment Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:40:11 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2287649/posts Researchers are tracking a golden eagle found in southwestern Wisconsin to learn if this western bird is broadening its range. Golden eagles are relatively unknown in Minnesota, infrequently seen, counted in small numbers and for a long time thought to be lone wanderers from the west. These huge brown birds do winter here, however. They hunt for prey on the steep grassy slopes in the driftless area. Any given winter, about five dozen golden eagles cross the Mississippi River from Minnesota to Wisconsin and back. Goldens are essentially birds of western North America. They nest all the way up to...

"This is crazy, man," he said incredulously, reaching for a phone to call his dad. "Obama's ancestors lived right down the road," he told his father, a local farmer. "Our ancestors were probably kicking it with his ancestors." Here in rural Pickaway County, 30 minutes south of Columbus, word is spreading that a pair of U.S. Sen.

A story on politico.com says that percentage is roughly the margin of President Bush’s victory over John F. Kerry in 2004. The study found that one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views of black people, calling them “lazy,” “violent” and responsible for their own troubles.

Since her second husband, Andrew Jackson, once killed a man in a duel for the same insult to his wife's honor, Adams was perhaps lucky to lose no more than the presidency to Old Hickory. So, while there are abundant signs that Republicans this year are itching to take the practice to new lows, let's not forget that attacks on first ladies, actual or putative, go back a long way.

A blogger who supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton circulates unfounded claims that Obama gave an accusatory speech in her church about the sins of "whitey." Obama shakes her head.

Are there really white people out there so ignorant of history, so unaware of the nuances of language and so threatened by minority grievances that they take genuine umbrage at the term "whitey"? To be truly offensive, a derogatory term needs to have an ominous context that "whitey" lacks.

Basically, it's not to. Otherwise, according to prevailing wisdom, all a candidate achieves is to elevate the rumors to a legitimate story for the media to feast on. That don't-go-there approach was Barack Obama's plan for months until, on the candidate's first full day of campaigning as his party's presumed presidential nominee, a reporter from McClatchy Newspapers who was traveling aboard his plane asked him about a particularly toxic bit of hearsay that was zooming around the...
