No. My very first post is pretty much EXACTLY what I addressed throughout this conversation. Only I was constantly responding to your numerous off topic claims and ad hominem attacks. You have yet to respond to the root of my initial response.

You still have not provided any piece of information that indicates I'm not a conservative. Not one! You've glazed it over now about 5 times...that should say something. If there were such glaring examples then you would immediately be providing them in response. But, alas, none. In fact, if you would look at other threads you'd find that I routinely come to the defense of fiscal conservatism and a free market that is based on incentivizing hard work, efficiency, and innovation.

Your little display is a page directly out of Rush Limbaugh's play book...which is basically summed up by: if you can't win the debate then change it...and if you can insult someone in the process that helps too

I'd just like to know what you qualify as racist.
Go to these posts and look at the pictures, which I can't get to quote:

There was another rally in Omaha that has not been mentioned......on the grounds of Millard Library. There were about 500-600 (my estimate) people there with a senator speaking (I'm from Texas so I'm sorry I don't remember his name). We appreciated the type of people there....they seemed intelligent, made thoughtful comments, had some good signs (many about socialism and bailouts). There was also a small 'anti' group with a loud spokesman who kept yelling something about "what about the last 8 years?". We enjoyed visiting with the people there....they seemed to be very thoughtful, thinking people.

Let me know when you can go back and address me point by point and we'll see who said what. I'm not going to play the liberal game of "I'll read only portions of your posts, ignore most of your points, miscontrue the rest, and then claim you never said anything."

Ciao.

Can you explain how these aren't examples of racism?


YouTube - Michelle Obama Plays the Race Card


YouTube - The Obama Files: Post-Racial Candidate Plays the Race Card


But hey it only counts when it works in your favor right?

Thanks Gayle. I hadn't heard about that one.

Uh oh, did someone mention the race card? I figured I would post this here, as I did ina different thread. I guess it amuses me...

Omaha,

You're a joke! I did go point by point. You completely avoided any actual intellectual content and simply turned your entire argument into an attack on me personally.

Pathetic. Again, for the 6th time...I'm not a liberal! Turn off Fox News and Rush and please learn how to have a conversation without resorting to minimizing everyone you disagree with to a crazy "liberal."

Anyone, who is intellectually honest, would realize nothing in my posts indicated I'm a liberal. They would take away that I am against extreme zealous rhetoric on BOTH sides of the aisle. But you can't handle criticism of anything you're involved in so instead of having a discussion about that topic your try and turn it into a "you're a crazy liberal who likes big government in your home" argument.

Do you not realize how transparent your tactics are??

It proves what you asked me to prove: that there were racist sentiments at some of these parties.
