Nice examples, btw. You must have really scraped the barrel in Wiki to find that amount of information. Perhaps you should do a little more research and offer more examples when attempting a topic this controversial?
LOL... you mean, like the OP of the "Why do liberals hate Christians" thread did? I'm guessing (possibly wrong) this is a parody/spin-off from that thread, and showing how ridiculous these assumptions are on EITHER side. Get it everyone?
I'm a conservative white woman married to a conservative half white, half black man. I don't care if Barack Obama is black (or rather half black), purple or green. I care that he is an extreme liberal with a lot of questionable associations and I think what he is doing/will do to our country will take a very long time to fix. Just because people have different approaches to government does not mean that they hate minorities. The Democrats are perfectly happy to have a group of constituents that pay no federal income tax, depend on the government for hand outs and go to the polls every two years to protect their entitlements. Unfortunately, these people's quality of life isn't terribly high because people that depend on government to meet their needs are generally not satisfied. I don't doubt that some Democrats care about minorities, but the vast majority of politicians are using them and their misery for their political gain.
This is getting good…
Now you have to explain why more than 90% of rednecks/hillbillies in the Midwest and the South that barely graduated from High School vote republican.
Do they vote republican because of lack of education?
First you need to explain where you got your numbers from.
I have some numbers from CNN: Obama took the "no high school diploma" demographic 63% to 35%
Now that's a landslide!!

I think you could say that many Republicans are upset about the first black president being a Democrat, because Republicans, especially African-American Republicans have worked very hard to push the conservative message to African-Americans.
I call BS. I live in a city, and I can testify that Republican organization in predominantly Black areas is non-existent. They don't get the Black vote because they don't work for it like they do others. If they pandered to inner city people as hard as they pandered to "Small Town' people then you might have yourself a point there.

While I feel "pander" is an unfortunate choice of words in this context, I agree that the GOP ought to be much more straightforward in its appeal to minorities, and particularly African-Americans.
There is plenty in the ideological arsenal of mainstream Republicanism (fiscal rectitude, respect for hard work, equality of opportunity, self-reliance, social responsibility, a belief in the innate power of the individual) that would be appealing to any ethnic or racial minority if it were presented straighforwardly and without reservation as the sole means for raising oneself and one's family permanently from the underclass.
Contemporary GOP leaders have often acted as if they didn't want the votes of minority groups, or felt that they needed to mimic the Democrats' patronizing solicitude toward minorities.
The GOP needs to change its tune. If it doesn't, it will have abandoned the country to the likes of Pelosi and the retrosocialist wing of the Democrat party. That abandonment would be a disservice to all of us -- most especially the minority groups, who will find themselves increasingly superfluous, and eventually benevolently ignored.

What a surprise,
it took a liberal to figure out the goal of this thread.
All I was doing was using the right wing/Foxnews tactics (Accuse your enemies of something bad, and say that they are guilty until they prove 100% they are innocent) against you guys and just sitting down and watching the way you guys reacted to it.
Liberals have to put up with this crap everyday from Rush, Hannity, Foxnews, etc.
An example of this was Foxnews BS about Obama attending a madrassa in Indonesia. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/22/obama.madrassa/
GOP stronghold = Christian White South. Increasingly irrelevant. The GOP often backfires in strategy by pandering to this stronghold during primaries, thus sealing their fate in the general elections.
