You know, I never hated black. But now that I’ve seen Jeremiah Wright and alike in action, I realize that they really hate us. They are really racists. Maybe we should start realizing it and start to protect ourselves from their raging hatred. The first move would be to not elect Obama.
Ummmm….
I’m confused.
George Wallace was, wait for it, A DEMOCRAT
George Wallace was endorsed by the NAACP because his DEMOCRAT opponent in the primary was endorsed by the KKK.
Yet, George Wallace is being compared to McCain/Palin?
Seems to me Congressman Lewis, George Wallace is more like YOU and YOUR PARTY than anyone else.
Heck, he WAS one of you.
Shall I list for you some of the other infamous racists on the DEMOCRAT side?
Congressman, that’s a hornet’s nest you really, really don’t want to stick your arm into.
People in glass houses shouldn’t ….
You get the idea.
Don’t you?
Wait…not the race card again!
Wasn’t it Obama blaming McCain for scaring people by claiming McCain’s pulling the race card on him? Isn’t it the black population in our country voting for Obama based solely on race?
Uhm…who’s the racist again?
I don’t get it either.
Remember when referring to Democrats and the Democratic party it is just that.
The party is Democratic and individuals are Democrats.
when you refer to the Party as Democrat you are invoking Joseph McCarthy who spouted this remark..
It is like calling San Francisco ” Frisco” or using the N word to African Americans.
Ahh man, the Democrat party — the party of segregation and the KKK playing the race card. Do they think no one knows?
The Democrats were the party of segregation. However after they embraced the Civil Rights cause, Republicans filled the void with the Southern Stategy adopting racism as an unspoken party plank. Republicans have dominated national politics ever since.
Before the Civil Rights Act was signed, Democrats won 7 out of 10 of the previous Presidential elections. Since then, Republicans have won 7 out of the last 10.
Fit Fit, go read your ‘real’ history again. Repubicans freed the slaves and republicans pushed through (over the democrats objections everytime) every civil rights bill and the voting rights act. Democrats did nothing but keep blacks on welfare (aka in slavery). Want to live without working, vote democrat. “The poor have been voting democrat for 50 years and they’re still poor”. Charles Barkley, NBA
You no longer have to wonder why everyone on here laughs at and maked fun of FIT FIT. He lies even about things he has to know the truth about, right in line with Hussein O.
Osama and Obama have a lot in common. They both support and finance terrorists who bombed the pentagon.
Hussein O and S Hussein have more in common. They both tried to kill as many American Soldiers as possible. A Hussein with a gun and Hussein O by backstabbing America while visiting Iraq. An act that should put him in prison, now the white house.
Fit fit: Now the Democrats are the party of high taxes and big government. The “were” part doesn’t make things better. There’s a reason why they have an ass for their party’s symbol – that’s what they have been historically.
I’m Canadian and I know more about your country than poor little Fit Fit.
Hey, FitFit, gets some education, by reading this:
POPULAR IN AFRICA: BUSH HAS GIVEN MORE AID THAN ANY OTHER US PRESIDENT http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/popular-in-africa-bush-has-given-more-aid-than-any-other-us-president-783387.html
And here is another one:
BOB GELDOF SPEAKS ON THE PRESS AND PRESIDENT BUSH
http://psychophil.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/bob-geldof-speaks-on-president-bush/
Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement.
Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, “has done more than any other president so far.”
Scrapiron,
I think you and I both know why this touches such a nerve with you. As I said, Democrats were the the party of segregation and were the ones who would block the anti-lynching laws when Republicans tried to enact them. I know the history very well. But political parties do evolve over time. I don’t think the mass of rank and file Republicans are card carrying Klansmen, but the reputation of the party was stained when it decided to use racial anxiety as a wedge. I believe Immigration Reform (favored by McCain and Obama) will lead to a purging of this taint within the Republican Party.
Craig,
I’ve noted Bush’s contributions to Africa several times.
And Obama’s campaign refused to repudiate the remarks of Lewis in total, but said instead:
”
Typical. Blame it on whitey. And still Obama refuses to acknowledge the length and depth of his relationship with the terrorist Ayers, who actually DID throw bombs and kill people.
I’m also reminded that a former member of the Ku Klux Klan still sits today as a U.S. Senator and that man is a DEMOCRAT (Byrd of West Virginia).
Is this a photo of a campaign rally for Democrats in the 1950′s?
Obama’s crowd was none to pleasant today when McCain and Palin were brought up, after reading some of the garbage blogs put out by his supporters, I would have to believe that nasty speech toward the McCain camp out on the stump isn’t all that unusual. Obama made a feeble attempt to do as JSM did. Had to change the channel, listening to him makes me ill.
John Lewis should apologize for the remark and Obama should man up, sincerely denounce this racist language and stop playing the poor liittle me act. I think the manchild better stop and think about that Spanish ad he put out, paid for with that currency that doesn’t look like him and knock off with the whining.
a freind just emailed me that exact article. i was pissed. so i sent him a reply and the only thing he could come at me with was if i thought abortion should be illegal. funny, he a freakin lawyer. cracks me up, he is also jewish. gotta love the folks on the left anyway.
Mike,
I do believe that’s a an induction ceremony for Strom Thurmond. Hey Craig, for extra credit, why don’t you tell the class what he’s famous for and what party he switched to right around the time this Southern Strategy began to take shape.
“Hey Craig, for extra credit, why don’t you tell the class what he’s famous for and what party he switched to right around the time this Southern Strategy began to take shape.” (Fit Fit)
Who the hell are you talking about?
@luva the scissors:
luva, this is OT, but, maybe you would want to send him this?
http://macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/10/11/barack-obama-october-surprise/
@Fit fit:
EPIC FAIL!
You are no student of history are you?
That’s more likely the induction ceremony for Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), also Grand Kleagle of the KKK.
In fact, Thurmond actively opposed the white supremacy movement which makes your assertion even more ridiculous.
Strom Thurmond started out in politics as a Democrat.
He converted to the Republican party and moderated his views on race.
In fact, he was the first southern Senator to hire a black person as an aide.
So, what was your point again?
You don’t really want to get into a discussion with me about the history of the Democratic Party regarding race do you?
No, let me restate that.
You really don’t want to get into a discussion about the Democratic Party and it’s sordid history in regard to racial issues.
Fit Fit: I’ll wager Craig knows more about American politics than you do about Canadian Politics.
And anyone who is interested in the shameful KKK activity of Senator Robery Byrd [DEMOCRAT WV] should see this:

@Craig: You should read the book “Slavery by Another Name” by Douglas A. Blackmon!
You may understand better the race relationship as it is today in the South!
Gerry: That book (excerpt here) may accurately describe the racism of the OLD South. But I live in the NEW South (even though I was born in Columbia, SC when it was still the OLD South).
Much has changed since then and I am sure the same is true from where you are writing in or around Memphis.
In fact, the problem of racism seems in a number of ways to be more acute in Northern areas now dominated by liberal politicans. Chicago, the hometown of Barack Obama would be an excellent example. All those years under Democrat control, the billions folks like Ayers, Obama and Wright have spent supposedly to solve the problems (while living very high on the hog themselves) and the problems of the black middle and lower classes are nearly just as bad according to some as they have always been.
This is what is so offensive about the statement of Cong. John Lewis. All these years he and his friends have been riding the gravy train of political power and enriching themselves at every step along that road while they leave the masses of poor black Americans to their suffering.
If there is “Slavery by Another Name” it may very well be the deliberate using of poor blacks for victims to be exploited by the rich liberal elites who depend on them for their unflinching support and deliver little in terms of actual results.
Gerry,
Don’t worry, I know everything about the slavery History in the States and all over the World. I am very well documented on the subject. Did you know that African people trade their kids for goods?
I will let Pierre Scaruffi explain it to you, since my english writing is not that good:
The Origins of the African slave trade:
“….The civil rights movement of the 1960′s have left many people with the belief that the slave trade was exclusively a European/USA phenomenon and only evil white people were to blame for it. This is a simplistic scenario that hardly reflects the facts.”
“… “For moralists, the most important aspect of that trade should be that Muslims were selling goods to the African kingdoms and the African kingdoms were paying with their own people. In most instances, no violence was necessary to obtain those slaves. Contrary to legends and novels and Hollywood movies, the white traders did not need to savagely kill entire tribes in order to exact their tribute in slaves. All they needed to do is bring goods that appealed to the kings of those tribes. The kings would gladly sell their own kins.”
“…This explains why slavery became “black”. Ancient slavery, e.g. under the Roman empire, would not discriminate: slaves were both white and black (so were Emperors and Popes).”

Fit said:
Really? Fit, you wouldn’t be calling me a racist now, would you?
That’s gotta be the top of the line most offensive statement you’ve ever made here since I’ve been around. You *can’t* be serious.
And may I remind you that it’s your party who has been all about race and gender for the past year? May I remind you it’s your party and their pocketed media who have been suggesting that an Obama loss will be due to closet racism?
May I also remind you it’s Obama who’s all about race and affirmative action? All about minority subprime loans?
It’s your candidate who is proud to be a hypenated American?
But I… as a registered Republican (but Indy in voting)… is a racist with an “unspoken” party plank?
Chutzpah, dude….. massive cahones.
It’s just easier for Nit Wit to point fingers at Republicans rather than deal with the racism that runs rampant through the Democrat Party.
Ah, yes, old Strom Thurmond, sired a child at 22 by a 16 year old black domestic employee in 1925.
He’s famous for the longest filibuster in U.S. govt. history, against…drum roll please…
the 1957 Civil Rights act. He never renounced his segregationist past, ever!
He ran for president as a Dixicrat because those pesky Democrats had some crazy idea about federal involvement in desegregation, rotten bastards!
He then figured out that the Republican party was the true party of racists, mysogynists and pedophiles and joined!
His career is replete with examples of his distain for civil rights. He was a proponent of preserving the southern customs and traditions of segregation and white supremacy.
Not a white supremacist you say? “Pitchfork” Ben Tillman (his polical mentor) was a “symbolic part” of the Thurmond family, including being Godfather to the Thurmond children. One of his most famous quotes is as follows: “and governor as I am, I would lead a mob to lynch the Negro who ravishes a white woman.”
Nah, your probably right, that doesn’t really sound like a white supremacist.
Strom was a swell guy!
Wow… another one of those hypocrites who say they belong to the party of “tolerance”, tossing out blanket racist accusations.
Ah… let’s hear it for the dumbing down of America. Thanks for that demonstration of not only America’s failed government controlled curriculums, “Kool-aid”. But just what your party’s all about.
So MataHarley, what was the Southern Strategy in 1960?
According to Kevin Phillips, Richard Nixons political advisor it was as follows.
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don’t need any more than that… but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.
That quote is from the New York Times in 1970.
Nope, not racist!
You nailed that one MataHarley!
Hey Kool-aid, did you read my post #22?
Africans were Ok with slavery. Just go and read it.
And what in the world does that have to do with ANYTHING I wrote?
Does the fact that Africans were selling humans to Americans make slavery OK? What behavior are you attempting to excuse with your argument?
Well, because they were trading humans for goods, that makes the whole thing OK? Right up to and including segregation?
Awesome argument! You are rightly proud of your prodigious logical mind!
And yet Robert KKK Byrd, the Exalted Cyclops of the Klan still sits as the Democrat Senator from West Virigina.
If you’re going to start pointing fingers Kool Aid Drinker you better look to your own house first.
While we are on the subject, is it true that Obama’s family on both sides were slave traders?
http://www.usvetdsp.com/jan08/obama_lou%20tribe.htm?
What Kool-aid is trying to tell you Mata, is that the Black people now controlls the result of your next elections. White men are finish in America. Now, the Black people will controll all of your country. That is his message. WOW! No wonder they adore Hussein. Watch out Mata, you might become a slave under Obama. Are you afraid… lol?
Kool-aid, I always have a problem with such offensive “blanket” statements of people.
I also have a problem with younger people today, passing judgment on a different era of culture. And it’s not a culture that I think is a proud moment for humanity, mind you. But then, the history of man is filled with those… and most certainly not confined to America.
But you can not take todays more inclusive standards, and apply those to generations of citizens who were raised in a different time. Blacks and whites today have completely different attitudes because we are accustomed to a melting pot. Back then, segregation for not only black, but different nationalities was the way people were raised from childhood. My father was raised in a Ukrainian village, my mother in a Hungarian village. They were not welcome in many places outside. That’s not a defense of that culture. It’s just a fact.
But your statement goes beyond that. It’s rather absurd to include all Republicans in your racist judgment that “the Republican party was the true party of racists, mysogynists and pedophiles and joined!” when the Democrats could boast Robert Byrd as a Democrat in the same era.
Shall I label all the DNC racist for his inclusion?
Kool-aid,
It doesn’t make it okay, but if they wouldn’t have sold their own kins, black slavery would have probably never existed. They have to take some faults here.
Dang, Mike’sA… we’re tripping over each others thoughts again, dude…. LOL
Oh, MataHarley, I noticed you didn’t dispute my description of the Republican party as the party of racists, mysoginists and pedophiles. Just decided to cast aspersions on me.
I didn’t “cast aspersions” on you, Kool-aid. You embarrassed your own a$$ as a narrow minded bigot. You didn’t need my help at all.
There are racists in humanity, and in all parties of the US… including yours. Is the GOP the party of racists? No. Quite in fact, it appears most of the race oriented discussion is coming from members of your camp. So I’d say you and some in your party are the ones fixated on racism.
“But now that I’ve seen Jeremiah Wright and alike in action, I realize that they really hate us. They are really racists. Maybe we should start realizing it and start to protect ourselves from their raging hatred. ” – Craig
Please tell me this is a joke. Please tell me that I’m misinterpreting this statement and you are not suggesting that we “start to protect ourselves” from an entire race of people. If it isn’t, that’s fine, it simply means that this site is not what I thought it was and I’ll simply stay away.
How much Kool aid will it take you to get this right? Have some more… lots of more. Go ahead… drink, drink, drink!
- They are so mysoginists that they have chosen a female for their VP.
- They are so racists that they have given Condoleezza Rice one of the most important fonction of the Government: Secretary of States.
- As for pedophiles, I don’t know, but I know of Bill Clinton affairs with Monica, and Frank’s gay lover at Fannie Mae.
No, Rottimer, I meant every word of it. They really hate your guts. I am talking about black Democrats, not an entire race.
OK, I’ll see your Robert Byrd and raise you in the following categories
Racists
Strom Thurmond
George Allen
Conrad Burns
Jeb Bush
Trent Lott
Barry Goldwater
Richard Nixon
GHW Bush
Mysoginists
Conservative Polical Action Conference
John McCain
Newt Gingrich
Rudy Guliani
Any “Pro-Live” organization
Rush Limbaugh
Glenn Beck
Bill O’Reilly
Pedophiles
Mark Floley
Robert A McKee
Scott Muschany
Dennis L. Rader
John R. Curtin
Edison Misla Aldarondo
This is really TOO easy.
“No, Rottimer, I meant every word of it.”
I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t know about anyone else on this site, though I haven’t seen any moderator speak up about it, but Craig, you’re a racist. I’ll be moving on.
Feh, your arguments are lame and barely comprehendable as English.
Keep drinking your Kool-Aid and keep practicing your cognitive dissonance, everything will be fine!
Oh, and Craig, I don’t think you know what a pedophile is based on your response.
Good night!
You can think what you want Rottimer. I have many black friends. But the black Democrats like Jeremiah Wright and alike, really hates you. I’m sorry if you cannot realize that. Didn’t you see them approve an applaud at his sermons?
Kool aid,
I know what a pedophile is, but I don’t know any Republican pedophile. And if you are so smart, why don’t you answer me in French?
BTW, pedophile is the same in French: Pedophile.
Sorry, I can’t resist.
Craig, you somehow typed the following:
“I know everything about the slavery History in the States and all over the World. ”
That is a BOLD statement! Time for a pop quiz…
Who was the last slave in America? Seems like an easy question for someone as knowledgable as yourself, a self-professed knower of All There Is To Know About Global Slavery.
No fair using Google!
Why don’t YOU answer me in English? That’s a better question!
speaking of lame and barely comprehendable… Kool-aid must have overindulged in mass hatred tonight. He sure sees “racists, mysognists and pedophiles” behind every door.
Craig, I must have missed some statement you made that Rott was talking about. But it sure doesn’t reprint well, guy. Wright and Farrakhan are not indicative of any of my black friends and working compadres. I have no “fear” of them, nor do they represent most Americans.
Some reveal themselves as bigotted in nature… regardless of color. Like Kool-aid, for example. But it’s an individual thing. Not a group classification.
Tee Hee, you are so funny! Uninformed and uneducated, but hey, I’ll give you a C+ for operating a computer without shocking yourself or burning down your trailer!
Kool Aid: Your list is not only ABSURD, but it’s a transparent effort to distract people from the REAL RACISM that we saw today in John Lewis’s statmement and have seen so often from Democrats.
Now, you reveal your bigotry by attacking Craig for the fact that English is his second language. This after your Lord Obama declared what a shame it is that most Americans can’t speak any more French than Merci Beaucoup.
Craig: feel free to rub Kool Aid’s nose in that one if you want to using your native tongue.
It’s clear Kook Aid has been taking a few too many sips:
Gosh Mike, what part of my list was ABSURD?
To help focus the argument, I’ll even give you the actual definition of absurd…
1. ridiculously unreasonable, unsound, or incongruous
2. having no rational or orderly relationship to human life
Do you care to dispute any of the names on my list? Facts are always helpful when trying to make a point. You should try to use some! And I totally agree that John Lewis is a MAJOR racist, making statements and such. How horrifying! He said mean things! That’s so_much worse than being a hypocritical turd, who fathers and supports the product of an extra-marital black/white relationship while making a name for himself as a segregationist and civil right opponent. I see your point completely.
And I didn’t really mean to pick on Craig for his poor English skills. The majority of the “replies” to my posts have been barely comprehensible. There, feel better now?
Keep trying!
Here’s a test for you Kool Aid.
(No fair using Google)
“ridiculously unreasonable, unsound, or incongruous
2. having no rational or orderly relationship to human life”
Is an apt description of your entire list you hate filled troll.
How many votes do we have to kick this moonbat scum back into the racist ditch it crawled out of ?
YAWN!
Is that the best you can do? Copy and paste from some self-serving, carefully crafted piece of propaganda!
Yeesh. I guess you guys really can’t come up with any actual, factual arguments that aren’t prepared for you in advance.
Nitey-nite! You’ve been p0wned! Deal with it.
Oh, please Mike! Please ban me! Please, please, please!!!
God forbid anyone with dissenting opinion should invade your comfy little circle jerk! Who gets the cracker tonight? Do you take turns, or is it every “man” for themselves?
@More Kool-Aid Please:
All of it.
Yes, all of them.
Well, there you go.
So far all you’ve got is a list of names and not the first fact.
Provide proof for each and every name on your list to support your argument.
Jeez, Aye Chihuaha, you win the daily double! You are both stupid AND intellectually incurious.
Really, it’s been fun. But I have to go trim my toenails or something!
Where are your facts there KA?
Where are they?
Are you completely unable to support your list of names with an actual factual argument?
Well?
Anytime now will be fine.
Oh, by the way, I didn’t see your list of answers to the test.
Musta missed where Kool-aid presented anything but his own opinion on some pols. Anyone see any “factual arguments” in his posts?
I guess Kool-aid’s one of those who think the world is responsible for proving he’s a bigoted fool… t’would never occur to him he’s done that quite nicely himself.
Nitey night yourself, Kool-aid. We’re all happy you can retire now, happy with some false sense of smugness. But with a bar so low for yourself, I suspect you’re the quintessential picture of “ignorance is bliss”.
Kool Aid: You don’t have a dissenting opinion. You are disseminator of hate and racism. You have no place in a rational, mature discussion of these important issues.
You’re such a fool you give clowns a bad name.
I’m glad you saved me the trouble of banning your worthless hide but should you return I’ll have no problem deleting your absurd idiotic remarks.
The last thing we need around here is another left wing moonbat troll with more bile than brains.
@More Kool-Aid Please: I knew the pitter patter of running feet would echo through the halls once Aye asked the dummy to support his list. They love to copy and paste lists from KOS and DummiesU but draw a blank at thinking for themselves.
Kool aid,
Voilà une supposition colorée mais fort improbable. Votre longue liste semble issue d’un malentendu qui repose sur une méprise née d’une confusion.
Je reste hébété devant l’insolence de vos accusations gratuites. L’intellect obscurci par des horions sans prestige, vous restez sourd aux arguments les plus sensés.
Je vais vous exposer l’astuce de la chose dont vous ne pourrez malheureusement pas subodorer toute la valeur.
Voici en quelques traits incisifs: Je crains que vous ne barbotiez à grand bruit dans l’erreur la plus totale. Vous n’êtes qu’un inculte en plus d’être un lamentable pendard. Il serait préférable que vous n’insistassiez plus pour ne pas permettre une aggravation permanente de votre infirmité mentale.
Me fais-je comprendre? Si vous ne comprenez pas, faites semblant.
Damn, How embarrasing;
Even with 2 years of high school French & side-by-side French/English Nostradamus interpretations, I could only figure out about 75% of that Craig, but got the gist of it LOL..
Rocky_B,
Don’t worry about it. French is very complicated. Besides, I have a special writing style; I was a French teacher in high school for a few years. I have no problem reading English. But it is so much more difficult to write it. I get so frustrated here, because I can’t really express what I really want to say. But I guess I’m making some progress.
I’m glad you’ve got the essential of my post. I would like to translate it, but I couldn’t, it would lose all of it sparkling effects… lol
Newspaper Article from 1990 – Obama Putting Down America
http://www.nakedemperornews.com/youngObama.pdf
wonder if America is ready for a black president, or will it show the true racial legacy of the icemans inheritance
Reality check guys
That’s a very odd clip; and I can’t tell that the man noticed a camera was on him prior to his taking the sticker off the doll. Perhaps an Obama supporter
? Plant? Whatever he is, he looks to be a douchebag.
So what was your point?
Gimme a break. Like there are only racists in the R party, or like R’s are the only ones who show some anger or frustration (see also Daily Kos or Democratic Underground or any anti-war rally or a simple Madonna concert!).
Torrance Stephens’ post is part of the racial divide problem.
So, if America doesn’t elect Obama, it’s because of “the Bradley Effect”? Puh-lease….
Oh yes Fit Fit and no name Obama minions have burned George Bush in effigy but do you see us holding Obama personally responsible?
The difference here is that John Lewis is an ELECTED DEMOCRAT and an Obama supporter who is a key player in Georgia and national politics. It’s appalling that a man of his stature would resort to these kinds of incendiary tactics.
Your efforts to dismiss what Lewis has said and done is tantamount to enabling the very kind of racism you people claim to abhor.
You play the race card then complain when the moneky comes back to bite you on the ass.
Typical.
Pingback: Tratfor: Strategic Planning Information - Strategic-Planning
From townhall.com: On Friday during a town hall-style meeting in Lakeville, Minn., a supporter told McCain that he feared what would happen if Obama were elected. McCain drew boos when he defended his rival as a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”
In another exchange, a woman told McCain that she didn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab.” Shaking his head and taking the microphone from her, McCain replied: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”
Basically, McCain had abdicated the race as far as I am concerned. Apparently he never read “The Case Against Barack Obama”, et al, and the fact of the matter is Obama is a scary individual.
Palin is the only one of the ticket pushing to show some earnestness in trying to overcome whatever lead Obama has with just a few weeks before the election.
John Lewis is one of the biggest racists in the Congress, trust me,I know, I live in Atlanta. The MSM are pulling all the stops as are black democrats: Question Obama on the legitimate points and its all ‘racist’, ‘stroking the fires’, etc, etc.
Hope Obama wins, lets these freaking idiots who want him in so badly bend over and watch themselves get a new one drilled. They don’t have a clue. Rage? You bet I got some, I have no patience for morons.
Then again…maybe McCain knows more that he is letting on and what worries me is maybe he is correct: I don’t have to be scared of Obama being president…yeah…I have a lot more to fear of those controlling Obama…..and McCain. Does it make any difference who is elected?
@Fit fit:
Would you kindly point me to any comments you left on any site anywhere regarding the LA Times referring to Sarah Palin as a monkey?
Show me how consistent you are.
Rawdawg;
To answer your question. Yes we are ready for a black president, but certainly not “this candidate”. Did you hear racial prejudices being spouted by Republicans when Condolisa Rice was given a cabinet position or Collen Powell? No. Did you hear any from the independants? No. Did the Clinton’s or Carter put any blacks in positions of political power? No.
I’ve heard Republican’s say if the McCain-Palin ticket had been a Powell-Rice ticket, they would have supported them just as readily.
The fingers are sadly being pointed at the wrong party.
As has been pointed out above and as history shows, it has always been the Republicans who supported “Blacks”. The Civil War was started by Republicans against the Democratic South which was financially backed by Southern Democrat plantation owners. Southern Democrats were the ones that were importing slaves. They liked the status quo just as it was, with their Black slaves under their complete power and control and dependent upon them for their every need.
During the Civil Rights movement, Southern Democrats were in control of Congress and LBJ, a Southern Democrat, from Texas was president. LBJ supported the Vietnam War and a draft that sent thousands of our countries young blacks to fight a war they neither supported, nor understood. Nixon, a Republican, got us out of that war.
Most Liberal Democrats are the old Southern Democrats and their ideals under a different name. Their socialism agenda goes back to post Civil War reconstruction. The South was in a deep depression long before 1929. BTW Blacks were not the only slaves in our society. My own heritage is that of ancestors who were of indentured servitude status, which did not end with the Emancipation Proclamation. It wasn’t until 1927 when that was lifted. FDR came in with his New Deal, which created socialist entitlement programs. That re-established the government as “Massah”, lording power and control over the poor who sucked at the government teat and became comfortable and complacent in their poverty while the primarily Democratically controlled government did whatever the hell they wanted. Very few were or even are still willing to take charge and do what they need to do to lift themselves by their own bootstraps to make their own lives and those of their children better. Many of the poor see welfare checks as a right, not a privilage and only vote for those who will funnel more unearned money into their hands. Contrary to modern Democratic rhetoric during this campaign, most Republicans are not ignorant “trailer trash” as they would like everyone to believe. The “trailer trash” welfare sucking cross-sections of our society support them.
Heck, I would have supported a Powell-Rice ticket. What the Democrats don’t understand is that we have given high office positions to black people. Whether it be Senate, House, in the executive branch, or in the Supreme Court. I’m still at a loss as to why these racist sentiments arise during a presidential election – we’re not denying anyone of any race anything.
I’m not a big Powell and Rice fan; but I’d support them if they were the Republican ticket.
Oh, yes…and also: Alfonzo Rachel for White House press secretary:
As far as which party has more of a history of racism (kind of a ridiculous issue, as Scott suggests), if we are to play that game, then….
Read: Unfounded Loyalty by Wayne Perryman
Then please note this partial list:
[According to Congressional Quarterly, only 61% of Democrats in the House of Representatives supported the act, while 80% of Republicans voted in favor. In the Senate, 69% of Democrats and 82% of Republicans voted in favor. Among the Democratic senators who voted against the legislation were J. William Fulbright (Bill Clinton's mentor), who was a racist- pg 82, Do-Gooders, Mona Charen]
*[Senator Barry Goldwater (R., Ariz.) opposed this bill the very year he became the GOP's presidential standard-bearer. However, Goldwater supported the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts and called for integrating Arizona's National Guard two years before Truman desegregated the military. Goldwater feared the 1964 Act would limit freedom of association in the private sector, a controversial but principled libertarian objection rooted in the First Amendment rather than racial hatred.]
Goldwater was also a founding (lifelong) member of the Arizona chapter for the NAACP.
Shattering glass ceilings:
Wordsmith: I think both Rocky_B and my point was that even if Powell was on the Republican ticket and a white man was on the Democratic ticket, we’d still vote Republican. Anyone is better than Obama. Of course, the distinct policy issues are still very important, so we can’t not consider that.
He he…”We will no longer be known as the ‘United States of America”; we’d be known as the ASS – ‘American Socialist States’.”
Wordsmith;
USDA Grade AA Choice post. Deserving of it’s own seperate report. Especially as this thread is getting old and long.

Mata,
The only person I accuse of being racist here is Scrapiron (he could make Obama’s racist grandmother cringe). There several planks in the Republican platform which I know you don’t agree with (seen the AGW statement this year Mata?). I don’t assume anything you believe until you voice your opinion.
I don’t know what you mean about this “your party” business, I’ve never registered with any party in my life and never will. I guess that’s why I have no problem acknowledging the faults with the Democratic party.
I’m sorry if you are offended, but if you refuse to acknowledge that the Republican party has benefited from racial anxieties for the past fourty years, I accuse you of being in denial.
classic case of poor wording imo
it happens
Thanks for the clarification, Fit. That’s an unusual tact by you… going to the “unspoken plank” bit and generalization of everyone via party affiliation.
That’s what I keep trying to stress here. Both the DNC and GOP have their fair share of bigots and racists. It’s not a “blanket” anything. Fact is there is scum in both parties… today and over history.
Which then brings me to your closing statement that I “refuse to acknowledge that the Republican party has benefited from racial anxieties for the past forty years”
The DNC has benefited from keeping racial divisions alive, well, and festered for the past 40 years. The DNC party is still the one today, playing the gender and race card, but trying to blame it on the GOP. THat’s because they need to keep this age old myth alive that the GOP is nothing but a bunch of rich old white guys who hate women and minorities.
The DNC is already laying the ground work of a guilt trip… that if you don’t vote for Obama, you are racist. Forget that I’m a confirmed and devoted capitalist that hates socialism. The party and media are already pronoucing that any Obama loss is a statement that the nation is racist. Nice…
It is the DNC who benefits when the nation is divided into classes of “victims” in order to push their welfare, social programs in legislation.
And you call me in denial??? Lord love ya, Fit. You do give me a grin sometimes.
You truly should reread Wordsmith’s walk thru history above.
BTW, I say “your party” because, whether you are registered or not, at this time you are standing in the Obama camp. So, for this moment, the DNC is “your party” of choice. Unless, of course, you’re a Ron Paul, Bob Barr or Cynthia McKinney kind’o'guy…. which I somehow doubt.
Well, this is outrageous.
What a disgusting display of blatant racism.
Since Republicans benefit from racism we would never see this sort of disgusting behavior from the supporters of Barack Obama.
Oh wait….
Racism, you bet there is. If you are a black radio talkshow host and support anyone other than Obama, his ‘backers’ come after you. Going by that logic I guess since I am white I should vote for McCain? I will not give in to the racists like J. Jackson who think that way. But I will give in to common sense and say I am voting for McCain in hopes to keep America on the path that made it great, not some Obama idea of socialism. Barack could be a disaster in the highest office. Hopefully he will go back to the Chicago political machine.
Much of this Vid is in Obama’s own words from his book. Found it interesting insight.

Kool Aid drinker, like some other idiots I’ve seen, thinks that just because Kevin Phillips gave Nixon bad advise that he didn’t take that he was a Republican insider whose conspiricy theories can be believed based on said “fact.” It’s pretty obvious from his writings, though, that he is neither Republican nor Conservative, and that he is also a heavy Kool Aid consumer.
Kevin Phillips is an idiot.

..and a dangerous one, at that.
