Since the issue of race comes up so often around here, specifically in accusations that those of us who are voting for McCain are racists, I found this link quite interesting and hilarious.

As a caveat...I do not listen to, nor am I a fan of, Howard Stern; however, I applaud his guts in exposing the racist double standard that is running rampant in this election - something the leftist media has chosen to (big surprise) sweep under the rug.

Who the hell said anything about McCain supporters being racists because they vote for him? Dumb maybe but not racists.

PS: I don't like Stern either so I'll pass on your link.

Apparently the thread author missed the multiple threads calling Black people who vote for Obama racists.

In those threads, only ONE or TWO people said that whites who vote for McCain are racist. They do not speak for me or other Obama supporters.

MANY of the anti-Obama folks piled in to LOUDLY say blacks were racist.

Hardly the same things.

No one is starting whole threads accusing whites of things.

Grow up.

This was on video right? Being such a skeptic of internet news, I always ask that question. With that out of the way, this has to an embarrassment for Obama base supporters. However, I think they were unfairly questioned. Had they been told what positions each candidate supports, they might have answered differently.

Yes, on video. Embarrassing for sure; however, I hope we can agree that they should know the positions of the person they're voting for, especially the very basic ones about which they were being questioned (i.e. barry's position on abortion (pro) and winning the Iraq war (no). Thanks for the post.

Stern doesn't speak much in it... It's more the famous Obot supporters speaking... It's quite funny.

not dumb either

Obama in his own words said " My policies will make energy prices skyrocket"

and " My policies will drive coal plants out of business"

and his plan to add taxes to Electric bills will make them double.

not to mention his dismal tax raise during a recession, which will lead to a depression.


Obama is not fit to be President.
