The Illustration shows the candidate’s head on donkey’s body on a bogus $10 bill that says “Food Stamps.” Leader of the Upland women’s group denies racism, but a state party official decries the image. It also show watermelon, Kool Aid and fried chicken.

Someone is either a complete unadulterated proud racist, or just dumb as a box of rocks.

Is anyone surprised?

Seems to me that Obama wouldn't be nearly as viciously attacked if his name was spelled "O'Bama".

ATTENTION NON-OBAMA supporters:

Don't FALL INTO this RACE BAIT TRAP!!!!!
What OBAMA and OBAMA supporters do is look at every action of a NON-OBAMA SUPPORTER and will tie anything to being racist even though it has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.

It is okay for Obama to call Palin a pig with a lipstick, but it is racist to call Obama a pig with a lipstick. Get the picture?????!!!!!

This is the RACE BAIT!!!! And don't fall for it.

DON'T BE BRAINWASHED BY THE OBAMA'S AGAIN by race baiting.
They did it to HILLARY, that's why Hillary LOST.

The Obama's are a RACE BAITER!!!!! And his supporters are race baiters!

Obama is the one DIVIDING the country and keeps bringing up race. We will have an UNENDING CIVIL unrest when he becomes president because OBAMA keeps pushing on race inequality.
We do not need a president who looks at race and who favors one race.
We need a president who is skin color blind!!!!



I don't even look at race when I deal with people.
I look at them as humans and that's it.

OBAMA's speeches are race baiters and he is brainwashing people that if anyone disagrees with him then they are RACISTS.

OBAMA is inciting race violence!!! People will hate each other because of their race!!!!

Now, I know why there is SO MUCH hatred during this election.

When BUSH appointed Condi, Clarence and Colin Powell in TOP positions, it was NOTHING, there were treated like HUMANS. These three didn't go around preaching "WE GOTTA HAVE THEM BLACK PEOPLE IN TOP POSITIONS."

No one cared about their COLOR!!!!! And the three were great!!!!


There are many BLACK people who run for office and the people VOTE for them. These BLACK people never engage in race baiting.

But Obama cares about the race and keeps bringing up how WHITEY is bad to the BLACK people.

HE IS DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY!!!!!

And when he becomes president, he will DIVIDE the COUNTRY MORE!!!!!

He is the one inciting racism!!!!!

OBAMA needs to get rid of HIS BITTERNESS against WHITE people.
He needs to not dwell on this.

We used to get along in our area. 100% of the people ignore the color of the skin. Then OBAMA comes along and shakes everything up. Now there is tension. That's B.S.!!!!! We don't need this!!!! We are going to go back 50 years with OBAMA on race relations and many minorities will be discriminated against again. I don't want this B.S.!!!!

If he wants to help BLACK people, get them educated and get them good jobs.
Get them to be like Condi, Powell and Thomas.
His JOB with acorn was to get people with bad credit and those who can't afford homes a loan.

See this video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmL-lXNy64 ---

That's not going to help them????
He is not solving the core problem. He needs to teach this people with bad credit and with no money
to be responsible with their careers and finances.

THE ONE WORD THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF OBAMA'S VOCABULARY IS RACE!!!! And anything related to it.

REMEMBER VOTE based on QUALIFICATIONS.

ShoppingCartLaw,

Did you look at the picture and if so do you not think it is a racist image? This is not about Obama or McCain but about the people who are responsible for that image. Too me, it is racist and it plays on stereotypes of Black people and it really is not the way that I view America but it is some people's view and for me to ignore that can place me in harm's way. Just my thoughts.

This is more or less how the whole election has worked out with just over a week to go:

Obama: I don't look like all of those presidents on the paper money.
McCain Supporter: OK... We know that.
Obama supporter: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
McCain Supporter: Actually we don't care.
Obama: Did you hear what I said? I look different, and people will use that against me.
McCain Supporter: I just really like McCain, that's all.
Obama Supporter: SEE? YOU ARE RACIST!
Oprah: HE'S THE ONE!!
McCain Supporter: He's not the one for me.
Obama Supporter: A-HA! MORE HATE FROM THE RIGHT WINGERS!
McCain: I love my country and would be honored to be President.
Obama Supporter: RACIST! HE WANTS EVERYTHING TO STAY THE SAME WHICH MEANS MORE RACISM!
Obama: I don't agree with Palin.
Obama suppoter: YES! WE LOVE YOU AND CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO WIN! YOU ARE SO RIGHT! SHE'S HORRIBLE!
Palin: I don't agree with Obama.
Obama suppoter: **** YOU PALIN! SO MUCH HATE! SO MUCH RACISM!
McCain suppoter: I don't agree with what Obama has to say about the economy. I'm worried about whether or not his tax plan might cost me my job or hurt my ability to provide for my family, and I would rather put my trust in someone who has more experience. I just don't think Obama is the right man for the job.
Obama supporter: GO BACK TO YOUR KKK MEETING! I WANT TO PUNCH YOU! WE'RE GONNA WIN IN A LANDSLIDE! DON'T EVEN BOTHER VOTING!

Rinse.
Repeat.

Well, by definition, if you are the first, then you are also the second.
