lawrocket 3 #2 May 16, 2008 http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1318534/obama_faces_racism_in_west_virginia/ Both Obama AND Clinton appear to have have faced racism. Clinton has openly fomented it as a campaign strategy. Obama has taken 90% of the black vote, right? Think that there is no racism behind that? By the way - notice that those people on that video are Hillary Clinton's TARGET CONSTITUENCY - the white uneducated. McCain - he's just sat back and let it happen. We'll see what happens in the general election campaign. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think that there is no racism behind that? But it's unequal. Whites represent a majority of voters, women represent a tiny majority of voters. Blacks are ... 8%? of population and a bit smaller perfecentage of voters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Support that statement with evidence directly related to writings or audio/video recorded statements from Obama himself. I'm not in one camp or the other yet, but that is an incredibly inflammatory claim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #6 May 17, 2008 Hmmm...I'm not sure about that. He's got a lot of racists supporting him, and there are quite a few racists who will vote for him just because of his race, but I don't think he's any more of a racist than Sen. Kerry or Sen Clinton. From what I've seen - and I've been abroad for a bit - he hasn't used the race card very much, if at all. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

His church affiliation was about getting in good with the neighborhood. Either that, or he actually agreed with what was coming from the pulpit, which, as far as I'm concerned stunk of racism.

Why did that one woman believe that Obama is a Muslim? Didn't that one Protestant preacher (Rev Wright) get enough attention??? or that he's not from America?

The comments above I have not idea about but the rest of what he IS saying supports my position that he would be a president that would take more money from the working to run gov programs.

You show one instance of false quotes and then make a broad generalization. And I stand by my statement because in my opinion he is. I base that on what he has said publicly, what his wife has said puplicly and what his preacher has preached. We can talk to specifics and agree or disagree on those very specifics.

Ah the bait and switch. I am speaking of Obama. You want to speak about McCain start a new thread. I dont like McCain but that is not the point here. He is an idiot and is not much different than Obama or Clinton as far as I am concerned. The libs got a win win election year going on here Obama only distanced hjimself because he had to for polictial reason long after the shit hit the fan. Obama is a eletists racist. He has proven that to me. Period"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
