The Race Card: The “chickens are coming home to roost” for Obama supporters
By SusanUnPC on August 2, 2008 at 3:30 PM in Barack Obama, Race Card
As Big Tent Democrat, an Obama supporter, admitted in “The Fairy Tale Revisited” (Talk Left): “The big hook for McCain is the fact that Obama supporters disgracefully smeared Bill and Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries.” BTD includes the New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, whose latest column consists of whining about the McCain campaign (successfully) jumping all over Obama for introducing the race card himself:
Here’s the problem — Bob Herbert spent the entire Democratic primary accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having no class, being persons without scruples and of playing the race card. He is now disqualified from pushing back against John McCain’s race baiting and disgraceful campaign. Indeed, McCain welcomes a blast from Bob Herbert. Why? Because he can quote what Herbert wrote and said about Bill and Hillary Clinton. More . . . (Read all — it’s great.)
What goes around, comes around. And the McCain campaign has handled this “hot potato” just right. Take a look at this, via Fox News:
Back in March, our great writer Bud White wrote a highly thoughtful piece on exploiting the race card, drawing on the writings of George Packer and Sean Wilentz (perhaps one of the most insightful writers we are privileged to read):
Bud White chose a provocative title: “Is Barack Obama the George Wallace of the Left?”
Here is what Bud wrote:
The code words are different this time around. Instead of appealing to whites’ fears of forced integration by mentioning busing, Obama has elicited black prejudice by using terms like like hoodwinked, bamboozled, and okie-doke.
Can you imagine another prominent African American politician using this language? Can you see the dignified Colin Powell using this dog-whistle? How about the politically moderate Chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, Harold Ford, Jr.? Or the passionate Congresswoman Sheila Lee Jackson? Never. To truly transcend race is to reject the use of race in a divisive manner. Not only has Obama not rejected using race divisively, he has given birth to a whole new justification for the use of bigoted and racially divisive language and innuendo. In fact, Obama is exploiting the pain of racism experienced by African Americans to manipulate the emotions of anger and guilt as rallying cries for his ambitious assent to power.
The decision by Obama to use race against both Clintons has been well-documented and brutally effective. Obama has elicited black racism and defended it by appealing to white guilt. His defense of Revered Wright’s anti-American, anti-white racism was political contortionism in the extreme. His comment following his speech that his grandmother was a “typical white person” solidified for many people that Obama was not just of Rev. Wright’s church, but also one of Wright’s most enthusiastic disciples.
In many ways, Obama is the opposite of who he proclaims himself to be. He claims to be from outside of Washington, even while serving in the United States Senate, and his candidacy is supported by the Party’s most powerful powerbrokers.
He claims to be post-racial while practicing racial politics. As Christopher Hitchens, no friend of Mrs. Clinton, writes about Obama’s excuses for Revered Wright: “[I]s it ‘inflammatory’ to say that AIDS and drugs are wrecking the black community because the white power structure wishes it? No. Nor is it ‘controversial.’ It is wicked and stupid and false to say such a thing. And it not unimportantly negates everything that Obama says he stands for by way of advocating dignity and responsibility over the sick cults of paranoia and victimhood.”
Because Obama’s candidacy is based on his biography and race, the Left - including most liberal bloggers, The Nation magazine, George Packer of the New Yorker, MoveOn.org - have endorsed Obama for offering a “transformative” opportunity. This is simply a code word for purifying the nation by electing a black man. It’s tokenism in the extreme, and it’s significant that none of the liberal elites have endorsed Obama for his policy proposals, which as Paul Krugman has pointed out are rather impotent and to the right of Hillary Clinton.
If we are going to elect someone because of their color, it should be because that person wants to heal the nation. For example, Nelson Mandela, upon becoming the first Black president of South Africa formed the Truth and Reconciliation commission, refused to hate the whites who imprisoned him and his countrymen, and insisted that one form of hate could not replace another.
Obama says “the anger is real” in the black community. If that is the case, we must meet our racist heritage with a genuine attack on all racism, including the racism that Obama is generating against non-blacks.
As PM comments on mydd.com:
What Obama has done is to open all kinds of wounds without offering remedies. He has successfully divided the Democratic Party by using race for everything as his campaign/political strategy for political gain.
He has painted both blacks and whites with very broad strokes, almost offensively — equating blacks like Mayor Nutter and others with his pastor or equating whites who have always stood up for the welfare of black people as a typical white person (by implication racist).
Large sections of both groups on either side have consciously moved to make race relations better. But here is a vile politician who when caught with his hateful pastor has brought back the worst of the two groups and calling that the state of the union for his own political gain. America is not full of Archie Bunker types neither is it full of pastor Wrights.
This situation of Obama and Wright is just between those two — the indiscretion of a guy (who perhaps never planned to run for the highest office) associating with a pastor who preaches anti-American sermons. If some people, most people find it unacceptable in a future president, that is their prerogative and right. This Wright scandal has nothing to do with race, I repeat, nothing to do with race. For him to have made it such, is something to be shunned.
Obama’s racial politics are not the overt racism of George Wallace standing at a school door and proclaiming “segregation now, segregation forever.” It is the more odious kind; it’s the accusation of racism when none existed, the implication, the dog-whistle, and the double entendre. It is perhaps more divisive and hateful because it’s nearly impossible to defend yourself from the accusation. Bill Clinton really was saying that Obama’s position on the Iraq War was a “fairly tale.” It really did take Martin Luther King and Lyndon Johnson to pass Civil Rights legislation.
As Sean Wilentz writes in The New Republic regarding Obama’s use of race: “A review of what actually happened shows that the charges that the Clintons played the `race card’ were not simply false; they were deliberately manufactured by the Obama camp and trumpeted by a credulous and/or compliant press corps in order to strip away her once formidable majority among black voters and to outrage affluent, college-educated white liberals as well as college students.”
The absurdity of the accusation regarding the Clintons’ alleged use of race brings into relief Obama’s repugnant racial strategy. In Democratic primaries and in the General Election, Clinton clearly would want to have as many black supporters as possible.
To paraphrase Senator Ted Kennedy speaking of George Wallace, Obama’s racial politics not only need to be repudiated, they need to be defeated. As Democrats, if we are to be congruent with who we say we are, we must wash the stain of racial politics from our party forever.
I could no more vote for Obama than I could vote for George Wallace, and the reasons are much the same.
No, for the Misogynist in Chief it would be like this:
The Roosters are coming home to Chicks.
Don’t you forget it, sweetie.
Like Tony Soprano seeing the Geese outside his window, I saw a young Wild Turkey yesterday at work outside the window…..Didn’t know if it was time for lunch or the shrink.
And this is WHoWHat the Dems are wanting me to vote for?
Sorry I don’t subscribe to any of it.
The saddest part of his racist campaign is that it set race relations back at least 50 years.
He reenforced the sterotype and pandered to the worst of both races.
When people learn from each other all gain.
When people hate and fear each other all lose.
Most people no matter what their race are all looking for a better life for themselves and their families.
He should be held accountable for the damage that his campaign has done.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS AND BUBBAS RULE
BTD today has banned the use of the word “brother” at TL. Anyone who criticized his decision to censor was threatened with being permanently banned from commenting in any of his posts.
That’s what the Obama campaign has given to this country. Nothing progressive about race relations when censorship of words goes all the way down to “brother”.
i don’t agree with btd on that issue. but i will say he is bringing up very important issues and doing his best to manage a group that have very different views.
He lost me a long time ago, when he told someone he would “despise” them for working against Obama (this before the stolen primary ended). I respect them for keeping legally problematic words and posts off, but this is too silly, that we can’t use words. Every day there is another one. Oh, BROTHER! Brother, can you spare me a dime. Band of Brothers. Brotherly love. What are we going to do?
Chickens home to roost? Obama has broken all the eggs and he can’t put them back in the shell. This is so sad.
And all the King’s bots couldn’t put them together again.
Sorry for the off topic, but just got an Action Alert from Hillary Grassroots, so am passing it on. Huffpoo is also perpetuating this lie.

NY DAILY NEWS LIES & MANIPULATES
– You can stop this media manipulation by taking action.
**********************************************************
Please get the word out to EVERYONE to call the NY Daily News RIGHT NOW and DEMAND an immediate retraction of the Michael Saul story. 212-210-1565 or 212-210-2100. The story is absolutely factually false! HRC herself advised last night at a fundraiser in CA that the truest path to true Unity for the Democratic party is to give her delegates the chance to vote for her at the convention. In order to do that, her name MUST be in nomination. She also never told her delegates to “vote for Obama”. She said to support him, but that is not equivalent to telling them to vote for him at the convention.
Threaten to go after their advertisers if they do not retract this story IMMEDIATELY!
I just called the first number and he wouldn’t identify himself and wanted to know where I had gotten this extension. Of course, I didn’t tell him and just said I’m calling to demand a retraction to be printed for the Michael Saul article. And then hung up!!! So they are getting a lot of calls!
Keep it up people!
J.
pain of racism experienced by African Americans to manipulate the emotions of anger and guilt as rallying cries for his ambitious assent to power….
Obama a mulit millionaire who lives in a massive mansion sends his children to private schools and what is it we ookie dokie types are doing that harmed him exactly….
what no private plane oh yeah forgot he has that as well….NEXT
Well, you can bet he doesn’t get to borrow JESSIE’S plane any more!
thank you Susan. And thank you again Bud. I recommended this piece on MYDD when it went up, that is around when the ‘purges’ began of all free speech on certain blogs.
It is good to see MAC call it what it is IMMEDIATELY FULL OUT CALL IT, no trying to appease -in shock that anyone in this community could POSSIBLY BELIEVE in their hearts that BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON are racist. It is beyond all reason by any objective person.
No more of this shxt Uhhhbama
as we said to our party months ago, this will not fly in the GE against the GOP, here we are.
As Uppity says so well:
HE IS YOUR CANDIDATE YOU BOUGHT IT YOU BROKE IT YOU FIX IT
Hill a ree

WooT!
Hey all real quick. I went out on the first to pick up the book I pre ordered from Books a Million. Went up there and was told by the lady in customer service that the street date for the book was the 5th. She even called (supposedly) another store.
Anyway after reading the previous thread about them lying about it being in stock I called. Long story short they have the book. After stating I wanted to contact there corporate headquarters there whole tune changed.
The store had out all other Obama books but not this one. This is big. They are actually attempting to suppress this books sales. I am on Fort Bragg but I went to one of the bookstores here in Fayetteville.
Now they “have” the book and I am about to pick it up. I am amazed. Simply amazed. This should scare anyone. I cannot believe that this is how far people are willing to go to get this man elected and to suppress unfavorable information.
Our country cannot go this route. What are we coming to when a book, a book is attempted to be hidden based on information. This is an example of what a presidency by Senator Obama would look like and it scares me down to my soul
soldier4hillary
My father got his copy at Costco in California yesterday, they at least had one of their book tables full of them, and he said they were selling like crazy.
Why on earth would these fools try to suppress this book, I swear I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.
It is scary, man just really way out there.
P.S.Hooah Ft Bragg-82nd! Talked to my son yesterday in country, said it is 142 degrees, he is still trying to figure a way for me to ship garlic bread to him.
What part of California? Glad to hear it’s selling like crazy. With the title like “The Real Barack Obama” I can see why - voters are asking who the frick is this guy?
Bay Area, Vallejo Costo
I find nothing online. What is the title of the book, name of the author?
If there is a revealing book on Obama, I want to support the author.
Contact a local news agency and see if they will do a story on this.
I am anticipating voter fraud and other dirty tactics by the Obama campaign during this election.
they very well could be trying to supress the book. or they promised all the books they have to friends and others. if it is that popular, that might be the case.
Very powerful Susan. I’m so sick of Oblowme’s black v. white world.
Oblowme should have been careful what he
wishedbitched for, huh?I think that Colin Powell is traitorous piece of shit for selling the Iraq war to the U.N., which couldn’t have been done without him.
And he’ll side with Oblowme because he’s black.
But he doesn’t talk BLT the Oblowmes, Wright, and Farrakhan.
Sorry, I think that Colin Powell is a traitorous piece of shit for selling the Iraq war to the U.N., which couldn’t have been done without him.
But he doesn’t talk BLT like the Oblowmes, Wright, and Farrakhan.
Please, let me defend Colin Powell. He got terribly used in his UN speech, and it was the low point of his otherwise highly honorable career. He has admitted that and has said he very much regretted his participation in selling the war.
Someone who can admit when he is terribly wrong is a rare thing in American politics. Had Powell run for President 8 years ago, he undoubtedly would have been elected, and we would have had a campaign free from the racial divide that we are seeing now.
Put me in the camp with those who are not willing to forgive Obama for sliming the Clintons with the race card before South Carolina. It is a matter of the chickens coming home to roost.
Yes, I respect Colin Powell too. Powell is a guy who spent his life honorably carrying out the orders of the commander in chief. Unfortunately for him, George Bush and Dick Cheney are two men without honor.
Well he could have admitted that before many many lives were lost, but yes I am in the also “camp with those who are not willing to forgive Obama for sliming the Clintons with the race card before South Carolina. It is a matter of the chickens coming home to roost. But I also believe the DNC DEAN Pelosi, Kennedy are just as guilty Senator Claire McCaskill Missouri is someone I would by a primary home in her State so I could vote against her I will definitely fund an opponent when she runs in 10. Thus no way I vote for a puppet co enabler in the white house that’s the would be the true 3rd Bush term …
Powell was anticipating running in 1996 on the Republican ticket against Clinton but purportedly his wife did not want him to go through with it. I don’t think he has considered a run since. There was a good chance that he would have gotten the Republican nomination. He that happened I would have been curious as to the percent of black vote he would have gotten.
How did Powell he get used?
He isn’t a child.
Powell used the very thinnest of evidence - Valerie Plame’s words - to sell this war.
And I do mean sell.
Powell should have resigned and spoken out about the fraud being perpetrated.
It was his duty to do so.
Powell chose instead to be a willing co-conspirator.
Ambassador Wilson spoke out. That took courage.
Powell wasn’t a con-conspirator, he was lied to. Information the CIA had was deliberately kept from him. He testified in good faith. His honor was used as a front for the lies of dishonorable men. Afterward, he’s had the class to take a hit to his reputation that he didn’t deserve rather than to publicly discredit the Commander in Chief he had sworn to serve.
Powell’s only fault is that he’s true and loyal soldier.
Powell has a thick coating of mendacity from a lot of sleazy shit he pulled trying to cover up My Lai…if you’re old enough to remember.
So let’s not make a god out of him. He does what he’s told, snappily and stylishly. Exactly what we like in our professional soldiers. He’s a bright, industrious man.
Possibly, NOT being descended from slaves in the US tempers him out a bit. His family were Jamaicans, and VOLUNTARY Immigrants.
US Slaves were INVOLUNTARY IMMIGRANTS.
Your fault is that you are a moron.
Like every Secretary of State will be any different in their position, Yeah right. Majority of the senate voted for the war base on the same information given to him.
He’s an Honorable man, deal with it.
He left the Bush administration because of that. Until the day he endorse Obama, I ‘ll respect that man. I would vote for him over Obama or Bush or Kerry any day.
What planet are you on? Bush, Kerry, and Powell are not running. And you don’t vote any day you want. Deal with it.
Ha Ha, Spin….
You might want to check but I heard he IS endorsing Obama.
He refused to talk about the election and who he supports on the Bill Bennett radio show and Bennett said it was b/c he heard he was endorsing Obama.
I hear that as well, that’s why I said until he does.
As I said, if he endorse Obama, he lost my respect. That mean the color of skin means more to him than integrity.
Who had the power to do that? The Obama campaign was waiting for an opportunity to charge racism, but the media had to hype the outrage.
Ah Ha! You mentioned chickens. Therefore you are implying that all black people like chicken. You are perpetuating a racial stereotype. /snark
I’m telling you some Obama supporter(s) somewhere will make that leap of logic.
Therefore, all reference to chickens is now prohibited.
Look it up. It’s in the new Obama Dictionary.
No more 8-balls
No more galactic cores
The piano will henceforth have only white keys.
Oops, can’t have all white. All black then…oops. Intercourse the piano.
no white house either!
go read about the “black hole”. i saw this happening when obama started his bull in before the sc primary. there will be those in any community who will carry it too far. that is happening and the majority will cut them off and out of the power positions.
This mulatto fookin piece of shet. I will never vote for this lieing gasbag. Fraudbama bites the big one.
That’s not a racist comment, of course, so suggesting that there’s ever any racial undercurrent to perceptions of Barack Obama would be an entirely unfair accusation…
ziggy -
No, there isn’t anything racist about it.
Thanks for yet another glimpse into the mind of a constantly using the race card Oblowme supporter.
“Mulatto” is generally considered to have pejorative connotations, owing to the fact that in the south of the country mulattos inherited slave status if their mothers were slaves. Throwing that word into a string including “fookin piece of shet” leaves little doubt in my mind that the word isn’t being used as a neutral descriptive adjective.
Pardon me for understanding what’s being said, and for playing the race card by mentioning it.
Trolls are generally considered to be idiots.
Embracing BLT leaves little doubt of racism by your candidate.
Black liberation theology makes perfect sense if you happen to be part of a minority community that’s historically been subjected to oppression, when effects of that historical oppression still linger. It’s racial and cultural identity affirmation in a Christian spiritual context.
Which isn’t to say that I believe Obama embraces it. Only that he was comfortable in the Christian community context where it was found.
I don’t even believe that Rev. Wright is fundamentally racist. Not in the way that a white supremacist would be.
Black Liberation theology makes sense? Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha. It can’t make sense. It works against this tried and true principle: Free your mind and your ass will follow
The only difference between Reverend Wrong and a white supremacist is skin color. Your selective use of the race card is transparent.
That’s absurd.
Visit and read the webpages belonging to the Trinity United Church of Christ.
Spend some time reading through forum threads on Stormfront.
Then tell me again there’s no difference.
A fundamental tenet of racism used by white supremacists, NAZI’s and black liberation theologians to motivate their followers is that “the other” is responsible for your lot in life. For white supremacists, it the was blacks. For Nazi’s, it was jews. For BLTers, it was whites. There’s no escaping it.
You are either a black with a chip on his shoulder (like Wright) or a white loaded with guilt (like Phleger) — either way you are a loser.
Tell your leadership that you are woefully falling on your face.
I’ve seen enough. I don’t have to wallow in the mud to know it it’s mud.
bullshit, ziggy! don’t try and run that crap here.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what you believe since you have about as much credibility as Obama. Obama sat in Wright’s church for 20 years, dumbass.
If you are the best Obama has to offer for support then the chosen one is done.
Stupid is as stupid does.
I know I have watched LBJ (Civil Rights Yrs) three times since he pulled the race card on Bill and Hillary and I ball like a baby each time. You know the part that really bothers, if you get right down to it, Obama is bi-racial….and I am not being racist!
The words “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” also betray Obama’s strange habit of accusing other people of what he himself is doing.
Democratic Follies

“This isn’t about me.” - Barack Obama
“I am not a crook.” - Tricky Dick Nixon
“Politics is a mean business. - Michelle Obama
“You want to do this without losing your soul.” - Barack Obama
“I could no longer disown Wright than I could disown my white grandmother.” - Barack Obama
everything is about barrak! and there is nothing about america or americans. the democrats are turning into worse thugs than republicans.
Right he does not look like all the other past Presidents and that means he has no experience. What does Obama feel that all Americans are dumb or that he is just too bright?
I guess painting the White House Black is also just a new type of decorating scheme the Obama’s would like to brings us, according to his buddy Luda who is urging black people to get out and vote. There is no where in his new song that he is telling blacks to vote for Obama because he is the best candidate, what he is saying is support Obama because he is black, does not matter if Obama is dumb as a door knob just support the black man that looks like you do.
We have really reached the pits in this country, and I just hope that there are a lot more sensible people out there going to vote that will see right through all of this and know we do not need this kind of racial nonsense in America now, we lost Hillary because of this crap from OBama lets not lose Mc Cain.
I hope Mac wins.
Or I hope there is a huge upset at the convention.
I think this is a fake Lou.
Speculation Clinton May Give Important Speech at Convention…Let’s hope it’s the EXCEPTANCE SPEECH.!!!

ACCEPTANCE SORRY
Yes, Yes YOU GOT IT.
We have not forgotten South Carolina, Florida and Michigan.
For us, We will not be voting for Obama, it does not matter who the runnig mate would be. We hope our Sen. Hillary Clinton is not asked.
We are democrats to the core.
We do not follow blindly.
I hope Clinton is asked so she has the opportunity to turn Obuma down and lecture him. After all of his crap she put up with she is entitled to read Obuma the riot act.
Wonderful article and citations. I’ve sent them around already.
Again I hear on the MSM yesterday about the polls: “Older persons are afraid of the other, and race is mixed up with this.” So is perception, acumen, and life experience to judge Bobo as a faux, false, phony fraud. Note: “older” must mean males and females of all ages. “Bitter, old” also seem to be code words.
Who’s party is this?

Senator McCain’s positions on many issues are not mine. However, he has the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the Obot bullies. Thank you, John McCain.
I have been trying to think of any politician in my lifetime who is more divisive than Obama. At first I was thinking of George Wallace. But considering all the ways that Obama has tried to exploit race, gender, age, and social class I believe Barack Obama is worse than George Wallace. Yes, he is worse than George Wallace.
How about Abraham Lincoln? His election led to open civil war, remember? Or FDR? There were people who still hated FDR passionately 20 years after his death. JFK? LBJ? Richard Nixon? Ronald Reagan? William Jefferson Clinton? The right polarized America, tried to destroy Clinton by every available means, and continued heated attacks on his record and reputation long after he was out of office. Or, the All-Time Winner for presidents promoting national divisiveness: George W. Bush?
(Admittedly Lincoln and FDR were probably elected before you were born.)
so who gives a fuxx! you sure don’t. we know our history, and i recommend you learn yours.
So if Obama does the same it’s okay? Lincoln called for the nation to come together. See the Gettysburg address.
FDR was hated by his own party. The Democrats didn’t want him and fought to keep him off of the ballot.
LBJ pushed for the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights act.
JFK? No one really knows what happened with him. He wasn’t President long enough.
Richard Nixon was a construct of his own party. What does that have to do with the Democratic Party?
Ronald Reagan was a great actor and was beloved by the media. Just like Obama.
The so-called Progressive left brought up every old Bill Clinton scandal in an effort to derail Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. The right weren’t the only ones that tried to destroy the Clintons. Where was the left’s defense of Hillary when she was being called a b*tch and a wh*re? Their hands are not clean.
GWB? Also a construct of the media. The media got behind GWB flaws and all. They refused to report, for quite some time, on his flaws and policies. It was all about his personality and GWB being someone “you’d like to have a beer with”. Just like Obama.
Lincoln actually held the nation together — what rock did you crawl out from under? Or are you just trying to lobby early to supplant Obama on the 5 dollar bill?
I agree, Obama is the bottom of the barrel.
A member of TUCC said:
Obama might be indicted on Donald Young’s Murder.
All 3 gay men that were murdered had sex with Sen. Obama might talk against Obama.
Donald Young signed an affidavit with police and told them he was scared Obama wanted to kill him.
That he had sex with Obama numerous times in Church offices filmed by Rev Wright.
No wonder Rev. Wright holds cards over Obama!
I just found this out!
Pastor Manning appeal to McCain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhh5-jFIZG4
Please send light and prayers to Dr. Manning as he stands up to the bullies and speaks the truth. He has been threatened on a daily basis but still speaks the truth. He lives in jeopardy daily.
No truer words have been spoken Mr. Wilenz. I believe in my heart that Bill Clinton is still reeling from this. I know I would be.
BTD is correct over at Talk Left…The NY Times was compliant and therefore just as culpable as Axelrove et.al., in perpetrating this smear.
Now Obama operates with impunity because no one calls him on this shit.
I not only hope the chickens come home to roost, I hope the vultures pick at the road-kill.
I know that’s ugly and harsh, but that’s where these arrogant imbeciles have pushed me…and I don’t think I’m alone in finding myself there!
Obama’s success of playing the race card against the Clintons means he will play it against anyone and quite frankly it is the only card he has.
McCain’s campaign knew the race card was coming and called Obama on it off the bat which was wise. They need to continue calling Obama on it since the race card is the only leg holding him up.

“The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect”~quote~Senator Clinton
Obama wrote: “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”
Oblahblah is a blank screen alright. As far a projection goes, I’ll pass.
“To paraphrase Senator Ted Kennedy speaking of George Wallace, Obama’s racial politics not only need to be repudiated, they need to be defeated.”
Agreed.
Why was Kennedy so quick to get on Obama’s bandwagan and endorse him without knowing anything about him? And why did he not withdraw his support for Obama when the Wright tapes came out? Kennedy bares much of the blame for Obama picking up steam by an early endorsement but failed to show any leadership or backbone by relinquishing his support when Obama’s true character was revealed. Does Kennedy think he is too big to admit a mistake?
It is not the way someone comes into this world but the way they go out and Kennedy is going out on the bottom.
So, where are all the trolls?
Come out, come out where ever you are.
