If you're white and you don't vote for Obama, you must be racist
Published on May 6, 2008 By Locamama In Democrat

This whole argument just drives me crazy.  So much for transcending race or the post-racial candidate.  Race is as big as an issue as any in this current campaign.  According to the linked article, if Hillary Clinton says she's "more electable" that is some kind of secret code for "I'm more electable because I am white".  This is such and complete and utter bullshit.  Why is the fact that 90% of blacks are voting for the black candidate not considered racist?  I guess the black people are only voting for Obama because they have an indepth understanding of his policies as they compare to Hillary.  I am sure that their vote has nothing at all to do wtih the fact that the candidate is black.  They didn't even know that he was black in this post-racial world we live in.  They must be much smarter than white people who are only voting for the white candidate.  If white working class voters are turning out for Hillary, well it's just common sense that it must be racism at play? 

Never mind all of the other issues that might make those voters support Hillary.  Maybe those voters have a problem with all of the anti-American issues surrounding Obama from the flag pin, to his wife's opinion that she wasn't proud of her country until her husband won some primaries, to the fact that he was a member of a church for 20 years that preached God Damn America, US of the KKK A, and says that AIDS and drugs were a government conspiracy to hurt the black community.  Maybe they have a problem voting for a candidate who condescends to explain that their "bitterness" is the reason they cling to God, guns and antipathy for people who aren't like them. 

Maybe they want to support a candidate that they feel will best represent them and their interest.  Whether you agree or disagree that the summer gasoline tax is pandering or not, many people are taking a huge hit at the pumps and would prefer a candidate that is trying to address this issue and bring some relief even if it's small and not a long term solution. 

I am sure that there are a small minority of white voters who will not vote for the black candidate regardless of the issues.  I also am sure that there is a small minority of black voters that will not vote for the white candidate regardless of the issues.  Acting like one candidate's supporters transcend race and the other candidate's supporters are racist is a complete distortion of reality.

Interesting thing.

Talking with Pervy McPervington, my annoying-ass roommate earlier today, about the Obama/Clinton sitch.

His words? 'I don't want Obama as president.'

'Why?' I query.

I replies, 'I don't want a black guy as president.'

I answer, 'That's the most racist thing I've heard today.'

He had the balls to respond, 'No, I'm not racist. I just don't want any nigger running our country.'

WTF.

He then proceeded to tell me that he hopes Hillary wins because he wants to assassinate her.

I swear, I could kill him and no jury in the world would convict me.

Yea, I had room mates like that in college as well. - In a supposedly liberal northern state.

As I have said before, this is what the Obama campaign (and possible administration) will be about.

If you disagree with him: RACIST

If you don't vote for him: RACIST

If you don't want his policies: RACIST

1) A conniving, lying, power-mad bitch who would lead us into socialism on a large scale.
2) A dumb, inexperienced, half-black with a scary name that reminds us of terrorists.
3) A wrinkly old white guy, meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

Choose the lesser of three evils.


Heh, I will say this though, no matter who gets the Democratic nomination, the members of the losing camp are gonna be crying 'disenfranchisement' and 'we were cheated' no matter what. The only thing enjoyable about the entire fiasco is watching the Democratic party eat itself.

Yes, that's quite enjoyable...and if we're lucky, might even lead to a PERMANENT schism, providing us forevermore with a three-party system. (Sorry, libertarians, you've been trying for decades and made few inroads. And considering what I've learned about one of our 'leading' libertarian posters here, I'll NEVER vote for a Libertarian candidate, they don't vet ((ie: check their background)) them at all.)

Nah, Obama is going to pick her for VP.  wink. wink.

She doesn't have the humility to accept the #2 spot. Obama might, though...

Dont think so. Does she really want to be the John Edwards in 12?
on May 08, 2008

If she's smart she'd take VP. If the Dems win or lose in Nov. it's her only shot at the number one spot in 12 or 16. Like it or not the Dems are stuck with Obama in 08.

Dems? Or USA?

Dems? Or USA?

Maybe both!

I am sure that their vote has nothing at all to do wtih the fact that the candidate is black.


Actually poll numbers said over 16% of the primary voters in Indiana stated that race was a huge factor for them and Hillary won almost 2/3 of their votes.

the anti-American issues surrounding Obama from the flag pin


There are no anti american issues surrounding Obama. Anyone dumb enough to cite the flag pin is someone who was already looking for a justification to support their pre-conceived bigotries or is, at best, of semi-functional intelligence.

Do those people believe that cutting off their nose teaches their face a lesson?
