Well guess what?!! I'm not a white man -- I was just trying to make a comment on how people throw around the racist label without even knowing what they are talking about. It is no more racist for a white man to vote for a white man than it is for a black person to vote for a black person but alot of people (like you obviously) don't see it that way. I am also not a "strawman loving HillBillies" whatever that is. I am one of those moderate Independents that neither the Dems or the Reps appeal to because the Dems are too far left and the Reps are too far right -- and that has nothing to do with race.

"New" isn't always better, Tuborg. And you are mistaken, there is absolutely NO choice this year, very abhorrent to me and yes, damn scary. Anyway, what Obama is peddling is not so new, and if he attempts to put his marxist ideals into place, and thrust them down our throats, there will be a bloodbath like no other in our land. And he will no doubt need much protection.

I really don't know why I responded to this same tired thread since the only rascists out there are the Obama supporters. Maybe I can reach one of the incredibly closeminded individuals and help him turn his life around!

How dare you call me a racist. You have never met me or my family. You don't know my thoughts and to label all Obama Supporters racist is just plan ignorant. I respect all Whites, Blacks, Latinos and any other race out there. You see my folks brought me up to respect all people no matter what their race was. You my dear Sweetclimber should show a little respect. There are plenty of racism out there and by reading this forum it sicken me to think that these people are still alive and well in America. I am ashamed to read some of these post. And you should be ashamed to be labeling all Obama Supporter that way. You owe a lot of us an apology.

I never said that you were. I'm merely pointing out that you have no problem with blacks voting in a block, as long as that block is white.

Kind of a taste of their own medicine don't you think?
Obama supporters owe everyone out there who is not a Obama supporter an apology for calling them uneducated hicks, trailer trash, and racist. So it is ok for your people to do it and not Obama people?

It's pitiful the way these Obama supporters act on the forums. I have to point out the fact that I'm black every time I criticize Obama. People like to pull the race card.

No..
Obama supporters call everybody who doesn't like him a racist, even if they don't know the poster's race. I find it ridiculous. If I didn't point out the fact that I'm black in my posts, Obama's crazed fans would accuse me of being a racist just because I don't like him. And no, I don't speak for anyone else. I can only speak for myself.

Thank you for saying that. I have been called racist so many times when making my opinion known about Obama, that although I was brought up to respect all people, I was questioning myself. It hurts my feelings and I wish they would not say that.
The only reason I post anything is that Obama seems to run on the herd mentality and I want to stop the herd before we end up with this man in the White House because everybody thinks that everybody else thinks he is the best choice. I have no doubts. He will not be my choice.
This Hillbilly will probably vote for McCain. Hillbilly and proud of it!

I understand, the number of racial comments and derogatory comments toward those of lower economic status as well as a "percieved" lack of intelligence by the Obama people on here is pretty sad!

You should really take a look through all the threads discussing Obama. The number of times the race card has been pulled in this forum is unbelievable.
I don't like Hillary, but I'd pick her over Obama. She is more moderate than liberal.
To be honest, all three popular candidates aren't that good. It just comes down to who you dislike the least.
