Hey guys... the blacks who voted in my precinct also voted for HIllary. Are they bigots too?
No. You've been called a bigot because you are. Please tell me, in specific terms, what the relevance of his middle name is, other than to paint him as some kind of "other"? Look, you're at best a Dixiecrat, and at worst, a right-wing xenophoic ****, and that's your prerogative. But it really is unbecoming to try and justify your decisions on the basis of fallacious logic. You're a bigot. Be proud of it. Own it.

As for the blacks who voted for Hillary, I don't think they're bigots, and I don't think the majority of whites who aren't voting for Obama are bigots, either. But you are.

Amen to that jjordan!!!! I can't say that I am totally for O'Bama but it is not because of his name. I'm not totally against him either. I haven't decided who I will vote for when either O'Bama or Clinton get the nomination I may vote for McCain. I know that I have some ideas about how government should run and I would like change too. Therefore maybe I will write my own name in. I'm am in no way saying that I am qualified for the job, I wouldn't even want it. But wanting change and making change are two different things. I don't want someone who will back down to others just because it will make him/her look good. We need a president that will stand up for themselves. That is one reason I probably would not vote for O'Bama, he seems a little scared of opposition. He would need to prove himself first

Loook jjordan, it's his name. Barack Hussein Obama. It was given to him by his parents. How does my calling him by his name make me a bigot. That's just illogical. I suppose by your logic his parents are also bigots!

I guess anyone who disagrees with you is a bigot. Oh yeah I forgot, you are a kid with zits I believe you wrote.

Because one does not adopt the strategy to fight, that another believes is correct, does not mean one does not know how to fight.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

How 'bout you? Are you a Democrat who dislikes Obama? And why?
Who cares what his wife thinks, you're not voting for the First Lady.

A vote for any Democrat means more taxes, amnesty, and four years of watching our country get flushed down the toilet.

Is Farrakhan Influencing Obama Through Jeremiah Wright? « Political Night Train

“It’s important to state right off that nothing in Obama’s record suggests he harbors anti-Semitic views or agrees with Wright when it comes to Farrakhan.â€

Obama: the Obama campaign responded with an unequivocal statement on it from the candidate himself.“I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan,†Obama said in the statement. “I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree.â€

What is Hillary's middle name? Why is it that we never hear McCain's middle name? Please explain why you take such interest in Obama's middle name.

If Obama were Barack Henry Obama, we wouldn't be hearing his middle name from you and the other anti-Obamites.

Well, thank goodness the past seven years have been so smooth.

...right, because we know that GWB and his GOP posse have lowered taxes, closed the border and given us a strong dollar in international markets. Rinse and repeat...
