Poor, white and exploited (Obomber doesn't really jazz the uneducated babes)
Seattle Times ^ | 5/25/08 | Leonard Pitts Jr.

Poor, white and exploited

I keep thinking I should be mad at West Virginia.

Not because Barack Obama was recently beaten like a redheaded stepchild — to use my father's expression — in that state's primary. No, I'm thinking I should be upset about "why" he was beaten. According to exit polls, two out of every 10 voters said race was a major factor in how they cast their ballots.

Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" ran a clip of a white woman who explained her refusal to vote for Obama thusly: "I guess because he is another race. I'm sort of scared of the other race 'cause we have so much conflict with 'em." She spoke in the vaguely shamefaced, what're-you-gonna-do? voice of someone who knows she should stick to her diet or stop smoking, but just can't help herself.

You'd think this would have me in a state of high dudgeon, fingers blazing the keyboard in righteous rebuke of attitudes so atavistic and wrong. But I can't. Oh, it's disappointing to see bigotry in Appalachia so vividly displayed. Yet I find it doesn't make me angry.

It just makes me sad.

I feel sorry for them. If that sounds patronizing, I apologize. That's not how it's meant.

**SNIP**

In other words, he was rejected by the poor and the less educated.

Hussein Obomber still has a few problems - including the Hildabeast feminists - who will NOT vote for some young dood STEALING an election from a tenured (cigars included) female opponent.

And have they stopped counting the 'angry white males'?

QUOTES FROM BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S BOOKS

.

Disdain for whites:
.

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “THE EMOTION BETWEEN THE RACES COULD NEVER BE PURE...THE OTHER RACE WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN AND APART.”

From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT THE AGE OF 12 OR 13, WHEN I BEGAN TO SUSPECT THAT BY DOING SO I WAS INGRATIATING MYSELF TO WHITES.”

From Dreams Of My Father, “NEVER EMULATE THE WHITE MEN and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF”.

From Dreams Of My Father:
“THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE— some cruel, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

From Dreams Of My Father;
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “IT REMAINED NECESSARY TO PROVE WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ON, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT, AND NAME NAMES. “

From Dreams Of My Father, “I HAD GROWN ACCUSTOMED , everywhere, TO SUSPICIONS BETWEEN THE RACES.”

.

Appreciation of Islam:
.
Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, though, was [HALF BROTHER ] ROY .. HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM” .

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I HAD SPENT TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL.”
“I STUDIED THE KORAN.”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED .. ISLAM...” “I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER just A CHRISTIAN NATION..We ARE also a Jewish nation, A MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

The Seattle Times just fired 125 people. Hopefully they'll be out of business soon so I won't have to read this garbage.

That is not true at all. It was one out of every five.

Ninety-plus percent of Black primary voters consistently reject Hillary and vote for the Black guy who just showed up yesterday. While you are patronizing folks you consider knee-jerk racists, include these Black voters also, Mr. Pitts.

Blacks voting 19 to 1 for Obama has nothing to do with race though.

Leonard Pitts is a prime example that one can have a complete lack of common sense and intelligence, yet still succeed in today’s America.

Hey, Mr. Pitts,

When you write an analysis of why “African-Americans” vote almost 95% for a lightweight, inexperienced, ignorant joke like Obama mainly due to the color of his skin, then I might take you seriously.

When you write an analysis of why “African-Americans” vote 90% for shameless Demagogues who sponsor policies that have contributed greatly to the destruction of black families and the catastrophe of urban black communities, then I might take you seriously.

Oh, and if you want to hear ignorant people expressing bad judgment that reflects a racial divide, just look at the OJ jurists or Al Sharpton.

[ Oh, it's disappointing to see bigotry in Appalachia so vividly displayed. ]

The author evidentially gave Jeremiah Wright a pass.. and Obama and Clinton since they(democrats) have systemically degraded the black race and culture for well nigh 50 years..

Democrats despise Jews and the Jews are clueless.. don't care.. or think everybody despises them.. So they(the Jews) generally vote for the ones that despise them the MOST(democrats)... DUUUUGH...

I wonder what the percentage is among African-Americans?

After reading those quotes, the only people who would vote for Obama are:

1) Communists.
2) Terrorists.
3) The terminally stupid.
4) The terminally self destructive.
5) All of the above, or any combination of the above.

These quotes show that Osama’s friends like Ayers and Wright are typical and sought out by this candidate. It was no accident.

Stop Obommunism Now!

20% won’t vote for Obama because he is black. 90% WON’T vote for Hillary or McCain because they are white and there is a black guy running.

There is a double standard being used here.

Obama despises his mother’s race and embraces his wife’s race and heritage. He is too stoopid to understand that HE is the same race as his mama.

I've never had a racist bone in my body. I guess because the woman who babysat me had skin that was as black as coal and a heart that was made of pure gold. Elizabeth became like a grandmother to me, and to be honest, I loved her more then I loved my own flesh and blood grandmothers.

So when I vote against Obama, should he be the candidate, I will vote against the white half of him, so as not to be called a racist by the msm.

To reach the simple he needs to start using the words: Jews, Zionists and Elites more.
