Obama, McCain and the Race Card
By NoQuarter on August 4, 2008 at 7:30 PM in Barack Obama, Qualifications, Race Card
I was just watching a clip of Obama claiming that the McCain campaign is using race because it is the sole tool the GOP candidate’s staff has to use against him.
Actually, it’s the reverse. Obama is exploiting the race card because it is all he has in his arsenal. He has no experience, no accomplishments, no special knowledge, no particular gifts aside from reading a teleprompter well. Especially compared to McCain and Clinton.
So he has to fall back on trying to “guilt-trip” people into voting for him.
It is indeed a sign of desperation that he is falling back on using guilt to try to get people to back him.
The problem with that, of course, is that sensible people will not only not fall for it, but they will be insulted.
Now, of course, there are a good number of non-sensible people who will fall for it. They desire to expiate their sense of guilt for being white.
But, thankfully, most people see through such a weak ploy, and realize that it’s all Obama has to counter McCain’s far greater experience, knowledge of foreign policy and the military, the ways of Washington, D.C., how Congress operates, and much more.
This is the ploy of a child. The ploy of a child who has run out of rational arguments for why he should be given a special privilege. The child, feeling desperate, pulls out the “guilt” card, selecting some slight or problem in the past relationship between the parent and the child. But the mature parent sees through this, and won’t allow himself or herself to be manipulated by guilt. It is an important lesson for the child to learn. It is a lesson that apparently Mr. Obama has never learned.
Spot on.
The Super Delegates still have three weeks to wake up or face a devastating loss in the Fall.
He’s NOT black and HE’S the only one bringing up the race card. he’s a dangerous muslim.
Maybe he’s an alien stalking this planet. If so, the Mothership needs to come take his butt home!
You’re right on, Susan. He is the most childish politician to ever be foisted on the American people(he has knocked GW into second place). I just wish he would get mad and take his toys & go home.
This is a man who admitted playing the race card against the Clintons to Tim Russert. Bill Clinton has always had the courage to stand up for civil rights despite the fact that it was not politically advantageous to do so in the Arkansas of the 80’s. In fact one of the men behind the Whitewater slander was the racist Ark Supreme Court just “Justice Jim” Johnson, a man whom Clinton has confronted personally for his outrageous racism. (Johnson was the guy who orchestrated the protests when Little Rock High was being integrated.) Clinton told Johnson that he made Clinton ashamed to be from Arkansas. Johnson was head of the CCC, the upscale version of the KKK, at the time.
I cannot name one principle that Barack has had to courage to stand up for regardless of the political cost to him? Yet, in our Alice-in-Wonderland culture our leaders and media much prefer Obama to the vile Clintons. It deeply frightens me to see that not only the Republicans but also the Demcrats have abandoned the “reality-based” world.

The Race is tied
New Zogby National Survey: “The McCain camp seems to have turned lemons into lemonade
http://www.thecharlottepost.com/index.php?src=news&refno=1033&category=News
And that doesn’t even take into account the Bradley/Wilder Effect, which I think could be as much as 4-5% of the population. If the election were held today, I honestly think McCain would win fairly comfortably.
Yes. The problem with GUILT Tripping people, is that they will privately, secretly, RESENT it.
And they will LIE.
They’ll lie to their friends, they’ll lie to their family, they’ll lie to pollsters, they’ll LIE, LIE, LIE! And they’ll even be ARDENT liars, behaving publically in an entirely different fashion than their vote indicates.
When they reach the voting booth, they express their passive agressive opinion by voting in the opposite fashion….and then, after they’ve pulled the lever, they come out and LIE, LIE, LIE again.
Telling someone that they are a racist (when they know they aren’t) IF they don’t take a specific action is a cowardly, chickenshit tactic, used when one has nothing of substance to bring to the table. All it does is piss people off.
Yea baby!
Zogby’s brother is a Super Delegate for Obama and an Arab. I don’t trust anything that Zogby polls says, in either direction. He should have full disclosure with his polls, stating the close relationship with the candidate. Thanks for the article tho.
I hope some people are now digesting that poll.
Where are all the Obots that were in here last week proclaiming no changes in the polls and that their leader was winning?
Great job Susan! I agree 110%
I am so tired of Obama saying things like “they are talking about me, trying to make you afraid, but no you are smarter than them” Then to add more, he brings up that they do this only because of his race or his “funny” name. What pure and total manipulation and BS!
I am just waiting for this little spoiled boy to throw himself on the ground in a fit of rage when things really do not go well for him.
Amen to that!
I just finished writing an blistering email to CNN complaining about Campbell Brown. She actually had the nerve to begin her show with the statement “No bias, no bull” then proceed to make a snarky comment about Bill Clinton not staying quiet because he made some remarks about being tarred as a racist by the Obama campaign. I let her know that both Clintons had every right to speak out about the slander that the Obama campaign was so willing to use against them and pointed out that Clinton has worked his whole adult life to fight racism and its poisonous effects.
Those of us who are old enough to remember what things were like when Clinton was coming up know how much courage it took for Bill - and Hillary - to stand up to racist thugs. I challenged Brown to find one example of Obama showing that kind of courage.
The more I think about Obama playing the race card against the Clintons the angrier I become. This is one offense I will not forget. It is beyond despicable and reflects a complete lack of principle.
So now that Barky is in trouble with his stupid mistake of playing the race card himself, the cowardly and hateful media such as CNN is helping to deflect this bonehead move by dragging Bill Clinton in the news again?? The Clintons can’t win! If Barky plays the race card, it’s the Clinton’s fault?? If Barky makes any mistake ever, it’s always because of the Clintons!! Actually, the MSM must hate the Democratic party. The best Democrat President we have had in a long time and they make sure to drag him through the dirt over and over again. Whereas in contrast, the Republicans still sing the praises of Ronald Reagan long after he passes.
Amen.
you are correct; the bogus racism charge is a personal insult on the order of calling someone a child molester, and it is reason enough not to vote for obama.
Have you NOT noticed how far up Der Shrub’s ass her nose has been for the last 7-1/2 years? If it weren’t so tacky, I’d accuse her of having something going on on the side with The Chimp.
Married to Dan Senor? No bias?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You make ze joke!
The proof that he did play the race card is as follows: Obama had won IA lost NH, lost NA, and was desperate to win SC, otherwise his candidacy would have been in jeopardy because he risked being out of the race if he could not win SC with such a large black, democratic majority. At that point Hillary lead in the SC poll and had 65% black support. Obama had to pry those votes from her hands and he had a limited amount of time to do it. As a result he put into action his revolting racial strategy to rile up the black people. Can anyone actually believe the Clintons would under those favorable circumstances come to SC and conspire to make black people angry with race baiting talk and then expect them to go out and vote for Hillary Clinton? No. This was a fraud perpetuated on black people. I personally marched with Dr. King, Rev. Abernathy, Stokey Carmichael, Whitney Young, Jessie Jackson and others while attending Jackson State University in Jackson, MS. I despise and loathe Obama for damaging hard fought race relations for crass political gain. In that regard he is synonymous with George Wallace. I AM PERSONALLY OUTRAGED AND OFFENDED AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM, EVER and I am a 63 yr old black female.
Brava wisewoman! I honor you.
Leisa: any time any person tells you how smart you are, that is a sure sign to keep your hand on your wallet.
Short, sweet and to the point. This is exactly how I see it…The One’s supporters as unfit parents. They have let the “child” run circles around them to the point of being drunk.
My next step would be to boycott all those who support Obambi: Ben & Jerry, CNN, Jennifer Garner, Maureen Dowd, etc. I will not buy any of their products for a long time to come.
I’m right there with you! CNN’s Obama Cheerleading Brigade has just finished a hatchet-job on Bill Clinton for speaking out this morning on GMA.
They all acted SHOCKED that he brought up the racist allegations. Roland-round head just said our concerns were “secondary”. More “get over it” mantra.
Blah Blah Blah.
If this isn’t further proof that the Clinton-Wing of the Democratic Party continues to be insulted and purged, I don’t know what is.
Well, as Mimi always says, go ahead then,
WIN WITHOUT ME!
You know, you are right. I am sick of this crap from the newsmedia. I am no longer going to watch CNN either. I don’t watch the others anyway. Bill Clinton is 100% within his right to say what he has recently said. They are just trying to start some controversy because that is what sells and brings in viewers. Why aren’t they talking about the wonderful things his foundation is doing instead of trying to stir things up with their bias.
I will boycott the items you mentioned but I have also been boycotting all the cable channels except FOX. Don’t buy GE appliances either.
Obama Supporters (in case you’re bored and have nothing else to be annoyed by at the moment):
Robert DeNiro, Scarlett Johansson, Kerry Washington, Enrique Marciano (Without A Trace), Ed Norton, Alfre Woodard, Usher, Chris Rock, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Kate Walsh, Kal Penn, Brendan Routh, Dennis Hopper, Tracee Ellis Ross, Paula Weinstein, The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Hu, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Nick Cannon, Tate Donovan, Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Morgan Freeman, Eddie Murphy, Tobey Maguire, Charles Barkley, Matt Damon, Halle Berry, Stephen Colbert…
I believe Robert DeNiro did support Hillary at first, but I can’t recall at the moment.
Thanks for this list. Easy enough to add to my list to boycott. Can’t trust or respect people who have such terrible judgement as to support an egotistical fraud.
We’re not done Alex. Here’s more for your list:
Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jennifer Beales, Samuel L. Jackson, Seal, Heidi Klum, Rob Reiner, Ben Harper, David Foster, The Decemberists, Cedric The Entertainer, Bernie Mac, Nicole Scherzinger, Tatyana Ali, Common, Oliver Stone, Cindy Crawford, Leonard Nimoy, Harry Connick Jr, Chuck Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Kathleen Turner, Stevie Wonder, Emilio Estevez, Wyclef Jean, Aisha Tyler, Babyface, Sharon Stone (was a Hillary supporter), Macy Gray, Jay Z, Ne-Yo, Zach Braff, Taye Diggs, Jessica Biel, Sanaa Lathan, Hulk Hogan, Toni Morrison,….
Don’t forget Tom Hanks!
WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry, I just watched castaway
Rob Reiner was for Hillary also.
I think Dennis Quaid is another supporter.
Yes, I just saw that somewhere. Thanks Cheated!
Gotta take Charles Barkley off the list. He supported Obama from the beginning but when Magic suggested Hillary had more experience, he was for Hillary for prez and Obama for vp.
He’s once again for Obama as he’ll be attending another fundraiser right before the convention as will Magic Johnson.
You know boycotting really works. I have seen it work out quite well over the years.
The irony is the greedy Corporations like the oil companies and the deceptive drug companies have over priced necessities and the consumers have less money to spend on retail crap and many retail companies are starting to fold along with housing, automobiles etc., and the corporations are starting to eat each other for that last nickel. The banks are folding etc., and maybe thats why the politicians are looking for the ‘The Global Market’ for more money.
We’re basically just collateral damage and the Obama supporters are desperate to be saved thinking that the now corrupted Democratic party will save them.
Why people think someone else, like a charasmatic leader, is the answer blows my mind. Hillary is a stable human being with sound smart solutions and has the intelligence and connections to stabilize much of the mess. Those of us here know that she’s capable of righting many of these wrongs.
FUCK YOU
well said. And I would add that isn’t just white guilt driving some of Obama’s support. Alot of it is feelings of entitlement. And Hollywood would vote a Democrat if it was Donald Duck. They make alot of money but that doesn’t buy common sense. I couldn’t believe it when I heard Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were supporting Obama. But then I found out today Jennifer Aniston?? I’m sure John Mayer is as well. I don’t put much stock in any celebrities anyway. I think most of them are a bunch of pampered, spoiled, egotistical and self absorbed people w little grasp of reality. They think just about anything goes because they are often not made to be accountable. They get away w shit the normal person doesn’t.
The people who support Obama are 2 two types, the cultist and those who will support anything that is new and trendy, the typical hollywood type and their wanabees. These are the same idiots that wait in line for the iphone and paid $500 for a gadget that did work that well. As PT Barnum said there is a sucker born every minute.
Hollywood is a part of the infamous creative class.
No suprise to see them out and about for Mr. Empty Suit/Race Baiter/Weak On National Security.
It is true that Hollywood would support “Donald Duck”
just as Nashville would support Homer Simpson if he was a Republican.
I hope he keeps bringing race into the discussion. The reason is that the more that he reminds people that, hey, it’s a white man running against a black man this time, the more that plays to McCain’s advantage. There are a lot more white people in America than black people and if it comes down to race-based politics, Obama will lose.
This is precisely why someone like Colin Powell would be such a strong candidate. You’d never see him bringing up the question of race. Unlike Barack & Michelle Obama, he’s never made it a centerpiece of his identity or cultivated a political based dependent on his perceived “blackness”. He just went out, worked hard, didn’t gripe, and excelled. I would love to have the chance to vote for Gen. Powell some day.
My understanding is Powell will be endorsing Obama so your only chance to vote for Powell would be as Obama’s VP.
Enough w the racist accusations! Obama is going to race card his ass right out of the election. I checked my cupboard and I’ve got popcorn and I also have the fridge nicely stocked w cold beer. Looks like the show is beginning.

I agree. Obama is the only one making this about race. He’s got nothing else to run on or he wouldn’t be doing it.
He constantly blows himself when he opens his mouth to complain and warn whoever he’s talking to. He’s too dumb to know that he ’s blabbing his own game. The blame game. When he says bamboozled, hoodwink, they’re gonna tell ya, risky…he’s flogging himself.
Takes one to know one, it’s a first grade lesson.
He’s so stupid. Asselrod probably hasn’t had a wink of sleep in 2 weeks now.
The child needs a good spanking in Nov.
I heard that, Obama’s goin’to get taken behind the wood shed!!
I am personally so sick and tired of the racist label simply because I do not, will not support this candidate. But then, I watch Bill Clinton who comes out with a statement: I am not a racist, and realize the term has lost all meaning.
Anyone who can brand the Clintons with that term can brand anyone and everyone with the same accusation. It has lost any and all meaning and the responsibility for that sits squarely in the Obama camp.
I agree, Susan, the accusation is the fallback, a default position. I do not accept it, anymore than our former President of the United States accepts it. And I might add: what exactly has Barack Obama done for the black community? Does the substandard housing in Chicago count? The housing that was in his district and that he was mysteriously unaware of. What legislation has he introduced to promote civil rights, for anyone? Does his support of Odinga in Kenya count? What, when, where, how has he supported his own community beyond what would advance his own career? Trinity Church? He threw them under the bus when the connection was damaging. Rev. Wright? Gone. What selfless, nonpolitical action has he done in his 47 years for sheer humanitarian purposes? What crucible has he endured that commends him as a leader for anyone? What sacrifice has he made for others?
I come up with zilch. And I’m outraged that a man who has served no one but himself is so quick with condoning the idea of “racism” or “cynicism” or whatever the word of the day is.
The gall is staggering!
Aye… staggering!
Don’t you just love the irony? Bill’s defending himself while he’s working in Africa?
Tomorrow Bill will be in Mexico City.
Don’tcha love it?!
Addicts are only capable of thinking about themselves. Bush is supposedly a dry alcoholic, Obama may be a dry coke addict but the addiction is still part of their psyche. Addicts LIE constantly and will lie about lying.
True about Bush and true about Obama; both are Liars.
WHEN IS SOMEONE IN AN AUDIENCE SOMEWHERE SOON GOING TO ASK HIM FOR HIS REAL COLB ???? HOW CAN HE KEEP THAT PHONY COPY UP ? GOD, I REMEMBER MCCAIN GETTING PELLETED BY THE BO CAMP ABOUT HIS B.C.
I cannot fathom that someone in a position to do something is not on this, the Clintons, McCain campaign..surely they have heard of it.
I think the Clinton’s know…but won’t be the ones to put it out as they will be accused forever…McCain I am sure knows but will wait till bambi is the nominee. NOW is our chance to get this out
Obama is not taking Town Hall questions and he has no comment. The man was afraid to debate Hillary after April 20 debate and his “I welcome that debate anytime with Senator McCain” is just political rhetoric.
Obama is avoiding accountability.
He is unaccountable, no wonder.
In a townhall meeting in Chicago in 2005 or 2006, I watched him stonewall or blow off question upon question by saying “I can’t answer that”, or, “I’m only a freshman senator.I have no power and no one will listen to me.” The only questions he responded to with any apparent knowledge, were related to college student loan programs.
I entered that townhall meeting with a pre-conceived notion of what Junior was like. I left realizing he was as phony as a three dollar bill.
It will be our down fall as a nation if we become too Hollywood/celebrity obsessed. This was the point in McCain’s ad recently of Barky. We need an experienced, fit, moral person to lead. We DO NOT need a celebrity as our president. Those are a dime a dozen and they are all fleeting in terms of their glitzy fame. I want a president who can have a positive legacy because he/she loves this great country that he/she wants to serve. I don’t want one with a huge ego whose only ambition is to go down in history books as the first half black president.
Don’t ya just love these bleeding hearts from Hollywood who are so happy to take millions of dollars from the public, live their cushy lifestyles and yet they just have to tell us how bad this country is. We need to improve ourselves in the world’s eyes etc,etc. I could give a rat’s a** what their political opinions are. It’s beyond ridiculous that they think because they are “supposedly famous” they can tell everyone what we should be doing. Maybe they should go live in a communist country where they would be forced to share their wealth and see how much they like it. Hugo Chavez would love to have them live with him. Who cares what candidate they are endorsing?
I’m still waiting, after 8 years, for the Bekins men to move Alec Baldwin’s stuff down to the port…
Until you have walked in their Manolos, you have no idea of the Audacity.
It’s the message, not the messenger.
Obama is just a TOOL.
Get schooled. Obama is not powerful.
His message makers are.
I do not want to hear from Brad Pitt
about zero emissions homes when he
has multiple mansions with massive
carbon foot prints.
I also don’t like when they shut down
roads and city blocks to make films
and get tax breaks too. Rememeber, Hollywood
is a business first, no different from Big Oil
and Company.
Well the audience is partly to blame which is another reason the MSM has become entertainment news. This is the piece of wisdom that I learned from paying attention to how Karl Rove was so successful with selling the republicans Bush.
He basically said that the dumbed down populace, couch potato has a short attention span and live their lives through others. Hence the popularity of reality TV etc.,- So many people want to be rich and famous and will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame and the dollar. The American Idol mentality.
Our kids grew up with TV. And movies have been the great escape.
I was just watching a video of David Gergen, and he stated that “everyone in the South understands all the racist “code” by comparing BO with Moses.” I’m from the North and have no idea what he’s talking about. Someone from the South please explain what he’s trying to say. The charges of racism in the last 2 ads seem totally ridiculous to me. I never thought of Moses, Paris, or Britney as symbols of racism.
Gergen is an idiot. These people are grasping at straws. With most of the media in his pocket Obama is about to crash. Keep the information flowing and enjoy the show.
I’m not from the south but Gergen probably thinks that because Moses lead the jews out of Egypt to the promised land somehow Obama will lead blacks out of their slavery? Or perhaps because Moses was leader of the Jews somehow Obama is leader of the Blacks?
And be real. If people in the south are racists and hate people based on their skin color, why do they have to have any “code” at all. One look at him is all the “code” they need-no need to even compare him to Obama, why even risk on overt secret “code”.
The Gergens of the media are really having to exert a lot of mental BS to prop their hero up. They have completely stopped being rational since he seized power in the primary.
huh? I live in Florida and the Moses thing is something I never heard as being racist. This racist crap has got to stop. It has ventured into the bizarre and childish. It started with Obama but he is too dumb to stop it. Wail on ole king of the world…..
Southern born and bred: AL & GA
I don’t know what the heck he’s talking about.
He, along with those fools at CNN and Kate Snow, need to stop the hate!
I’m a 63 yr old black southern woman who supports Hillary (one of the 8%). Gergen is lying. If anyone from the south knows about racism I do. I lived through it growing up in the late 50s and 60s. I moved from the south and then back. I promise you he is flat out lying!!
Peace my southern sister!
AnnieO,
You posted this on another thread. Thought you were David A.
But it’s probably Donna B.
How long are you going to keep posting the same question?
Is the latest question in the Obama troll handbook?
Obama lost any chance of ever getting my vote when he played the race card against the Clinton’s. Now he continues with McCain and people are getting sick of it. Obama needs to get over himself, maybe he’s the ONE he’s been waiting for but not the one we’ve been waiting for.
Delegates need to vote for Hillary at the convention.
Bill Clinton already exposed the use of the race card by BO as a coordinated campaign strategy.
I’m glad JM jumped all over BO for it when BO started using it on JM, but the media keeps pushing that JM used it first.
hi guys:
sorry my computer is having issues, was this latest race-baiting rant today?
In order to escape from the Wright mess back in April he had to begin to use the race card, remember the “race speech.” That was the beginning of the end for BO. He’s been going downhill with that rhetoric in the polls ever since. There was no way out of that but using the race card because there was absolutely no rational, plausible explanation why he would stay in a radical church listening to that garbage for 20 years without believeing it himself. He had to deflect his own leftist beliefs by playing the race card. In fact all this focus on race serves one purpose, to deflect form his radical past, his radical connections, his crimial connections, his birth certificate and where he’s getting the millions to finance this campaign. But of course, the firworks won’t start until after August then everything on this websie and others will be all over the mainstream media.
was this in reference to the dollar bill thing, I thought the fraud already said his camp did play the race card..
or did he pull out another race card today?
No Bill Clinton pulled the race card again today.
Where can I buy a pack of those? They are great at making the Messiah’s zombies howl at the moon.
Where can I buy some race cards? They sound like fun.
Hey, remember those Terrorist cards Ole W and his henchmen put out when we were in the hunt for AlQueda.
Anybody got a deck ?
We need a racist deck of cards.
So, when you detect racism, you flip out the appropriate card. Somebody calls your dad a
low info coal miner… you can flip a card.
Maybe we can have a whole suit called bitter/clingers.
Maybe a card for your Typical White Person
It can be the next rage. The Obama Race Cards.
Perhaps, a means for more race conversation.
Queen of Hearts…Clinton
prince of clubs …obama
Why do we always look to the things that make us different and not the things that we are alike?
Survival of the fittest?
Can you post the clip?
I have a great idea that would really get the MSM’s ear and ink. A blockbuster bombshell.
August 16th, 2008
1:30 p.m
Washington DC
Lincoln’ Steps
President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary R. Clinton (D-NY), Ms. Chelsea Clinton and Mrs. Rodham meet to fill out their change-in-status voter registration applications. They have ‘convertd’ to Republican.
Okay a little over the top…but what is it going to take to get press? wtf? for real. what?
Since the racism charge didn’t fly, the lastest is the roaring question: what about the phallus symbols that were used…it was a rant! It was a new and improved Leo Turrell. Seriously…phallus symbols!! They have no limits. omigoddess.
Nothing infuriates me more than charges of racism when none exists. It is such an indication of laziness and desperation, like you don’t want to do the work to prove yourself, so you fall back on this victim mentality, and charge racism. Moreover, it dilutes and negates the true racist acts, to the point where it is almost like “crying wolf” now.
Obama disgusts me more than I can say. why he continues to have loyal followers just astounds the hell out of me.
Continually bringing up the race card is a really bad strategy that will backfire big time. People get tired of everything being called “racist”, like the John McCain/Britney/Paris video. AAs in huge numbers said it was a racist video. What the hell is racist in that video? Nothing and if anything it makes me even more mad and determined not to let Barky win this election. It’s one of those things where someone accuses you of something and you finally think “well I’m going to go ahead and do it because they think I’m doing it anyway, so I’m screwed either way.”
You white people don’t understand what it’s like being a minority in America. Racism is everywhere, just because you don’t experience racism with your white priviledge doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Every African American knows the dangers of being alive while black. As Michelle Obama puts it so eloquently, as a black man, Barack could get shot going to the gas station. A black man can get lynched for looking at a blonde white woman, and the latest McCain ad reeks of a subliminal call for Barack’s lynching.
You white people? Such a unifying perspective from an Obama supporter.
Funny because as a minority—we’re more likely to die at the hands of another minority than by someone white.
You need to drop out of the 60s and get a clue.
You are a Republican, I don’t expect you to understand the plight of minorities. I bet to you, Rodney King, James Byrd, Duke Lacross rapists, Jena 6, and Tawana Brawley atrocities were all committed by African Americans.
So, what’s your point? I’m not sure I get it!
Can you explain it a little more clearly?
Take up as much space as you can until I truly understand what you’re trying to say.
Stop the hate, hater!
Can’t you read? What don’t you get? LOL!
I can read but you don’t write very well. I’m still baffled by your point.
One more time. I want to come to your way of thinking!
Stop the hate, hater!
