When you talk about racism, Obama and his misfits are the tops!

Is John McCain ready for the race card to screw him over with 95% of all blacks voting for Obama which is racist itself.

Is John McCain ready to get screwed over when he wont be allowed to speak the truth but yet Obama can make racist comments on after another and get away with it?

He need a real man in the WH, not a boy in sheep clothing.

Find something else libs, this wont work. Try the Iraq thing again, or something else.

Hey, if you got dirt use it, because I am totally sure Obama has more dirt then you will want to see.

October is coming and the rep will surely find something good on Obama, all they have to do is look in this mans closet, its full !

By the way, the presidential election is in November...always has been. And why bring up a candidate's wife? That's just stretching for things to ***** about...sorry.

How pathetic. Obama, by those words, is playing the race card himself, in advance of the Republicans. I thought Obama was beyond race and all about unity. What a swirmy guy!!

So the title of this thread should be "Obama IS Playing The Race Card"

Get your facts straight -- Willie Horton was orignally made famous by Al Gore; last I checked he was not a Republican"

(From Wikipedia):

"The first person to mention the Massachusetts furlough program in the 1988 presidential campaign was Al Gore. During a debate at the Felt Forum sponsored by the New York Daily News, Gore took issue with the furlough program. However, he did not specifically mention the Horton incident or even mention Horton's name."

Willie Horton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But more to the point, Republicans have appointed more minorities and specifically blacks to important positions within the government than Democrats EVER did -- from Clarence Thomas to Colin Powel to Condoleeza Rice to the large number of lower court appointees made by the Bush Adminstration, many of whom were blocked by your precious Democrat senators.

It was interesting indeed to see how little support from the Black community candidates like Ken Backwell, Michael Steel, etc. received in recent times.

Isn't it sad how always when people are lsoing they say it is because they are black!!!
I have seen the Williams sisters making statements like that just because they had a bad encounter with another player....immediatelly the other one was a racist, never in there life they thought it could be because they weren't so friendly and made unfriendly remarks...just coming out and yelling "it is because we are black"....Grow up... when did they say "because we are black", when they got the sholarship or when Oprah became the most powerful women in the media world....

First of all, I hardly see Michelle Obama as racist when she says "Go and get me some white people." It's not meant in a derogatory way, so get over it.

Second, blacks have ALWAYS been a democratic vote (with exception of a few), the demographic would rarely vote republican. However there is very low voter turnout usually, Obama has encouraged those voters who were not previously registered to get out and vote. He inspired millions of African Americans to get out and vote and yes maybe it is because he is black. But I hardly consider that to be racist. You could however say that because you are NOT voting for Obama because he is black, racist.

Third, you might want to look at your own candidate before you think Obama is the only one who has skeletons in his closet. McCain has done his fair share.

I am getting the picture; when a black person does it, racism isn't racist. Only black people are allowed to scream "racism." If anything good comes out of this presidental election, I hope it is to make black people stop being allowed to be racist as much as anybody else. The Obama couple are both racist and he is half white??? He keeps calling himself black, does he not like his white side? I don't like either of his sides or either of his faces. That's because I am not racist! LOL

Oh brother...what the Williams sisters have to do with this conversation i'll never know...When have you heard the Williams sisters say that when they had a bad experience with another player it was because they were black?

Have you thought that maybe they were "unfriendly" because they were not treated nicely at first? I Whatever...its amazing the length some people go through to make a ridiculous point!

You have made some ridiculous points but never seem to back them up...do you have any links to prove it or is it just your opinion stated on fact?
