Yet more reason why anti-Hillary crowd talks race

terpfan1980 — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:36:32 -0400

Here's a main stream media (if the Washington Post isn't part of the MSM, nobody is!) news piece that helps explain why the anti-Hillary crowd keeps injecting race into the campaign fight between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. After reading this original news article, you'll probably be coming back and smacking your own forehead then exclaiming 'duh! because it's in there!'

The US is Growing!

Dr Guy — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:53:48 -0400

So says Obama! Yes, this man has been campaigning so hard, he has campaigned in 57 States! (not Including Oregon, where the statement was made, and Hawaii and Alaska). 60 States!

We best pull all the civics books from the classrooms! They are just flat out wrong! They only list 50 states! And we know a liberal would never lie, right?

But wait! Where could that 57 number have come from? Maybe he was mistaking the US of A for some other country, place or thing? So where did 57 come from? Hmm...

Why it looks like anti-Hillary crowd is condescending

terpfan1980 — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:00:29 -0400

Another Joe User wrote a lovely (read that sarcasm as intended please!) article complaining about Obama Supporters Condescending ways... That article could be found here: Condescending_Obama_Supporters (sorry, I didn't use the original article title, but it's close enough for my purposes and doesn't alter the intent, or at least I don't believe it does, of the original poster (OP) of that article.)

In anycase, thanks to an AP news article on events going on in West Virginia today, I've got a nice rebuttal piece to that original article. Read on for the details...

Condescending Obama Supporters

Locamama — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:57:14 -0400

I am annoyed with the continual condescension of Obama supporters. When Hillary won Pennsylvania, it was because of "stupid old people" voting for her. Now that she's leading West Virginia, it's because "stupid hillbillies still think Obama is Muslim". Therefore, the "stupid hillbillies" shouldn't have the right to vote. Ack! It just makes me want to scream.

Whenever Hillary wins its because of the voters stupidity or Rush Limbaugh. Maybe there is a t...

Hillary: Obama’s Mentor

stevendedalus — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:24:28 -0400

One thing you must give credit to Clinton’s campaign is that she has toughened Obama to look beyond the “fairy tale” of change and to admit to the full range of many cultures of the Democratic Party. Far from being a drain on the strength of the party she has actually highlighted the undercurrent forces of Democrats who are not liberal elitists and also need a voice. As a young man voting for Adlai Stevenson twice I learned the hard way that glowing oratory and intellectual arr...

Hillary Has Noone But herself to Blame!

Gideon MacLeish — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:02:27 -0400

As the news of Hillary Clinton's defeat rolls off the wire (it may, for the record, be greatly exaggerated -- see later in the article), it's fair to say that she has noone to blame but herself for her downfall.

See, Hillary made the tremendously fatal mistake of playing the experience card. Right now as the peasants are lining up with pitchforks at the White House gates, experience is the last thing they want to see in a Presidential candidate. They want to at least hold on to the illusion t...

White racist voters

Locamama — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:53:51 -0400

This whole argument just drives me crazy. So much for transcending race or the post-racial candidate. Race is as big as an issue as any in this current campaign. According to the linked article, if Hillary Clinton says she's "more electable" that is some kind of secret code for "I'm more electable because I am white". This is such and complete and utter bullshit. Why is the fact that 90% of blacks are voting for the black candidate not considered racist? I gue...

Biofuels: A Hoax

stevendedalus — Mon, 12 May 2008 08:25:07 -0400

Biofuels: A Hoax

I’m guilty of thinking alternative fuels as a panacea until I realized that many of them require disproportionately more energy to produce. In the case of biofuel it not only consumes more energy but frighteningly jeopardizes food abundance, ending in price gouging. Plus the increased use of fertilizers draining off into the Gulf creating health hazards and depleting fish life.

By ignoring soil preservation farmers are wrecking the planet by relea...

Hillary Clinton steps into the race issue again

terpfan1980 — Sun, 11 May 2008 00:16:00 -0400

So Hillary Clinton gives an interview to the folks at USA Today and stupidly makes comments that make her sound like 'the racist's choice for President'.

To get the quote's right, I'm headed (and point you) straight to the source, or at least the source that had the words that will be quoted below. In this case, see: Clinton makes case for wide appeal in USA Today (or, in Hillary's case, perhaps it's Racism in USA Today.

White Roots, Too

stevendedalus — Sat, 10 May 2008 23:52:11 -0400

Obama’s becoming a resident of Chicago impelled him to join the ranks of the Black community and its streets if he were to ever become a public figure. His joining the most popular church also became inevitable if he were to draw on black connections. After all, he was born into white culture and because of his mother’s travels in a sense he became a world citizen, if not a nomad . He cannot be faulted for wanting to belong, particularly having married a black woman. Being highly int...

YES WE CAN!

Moderateman — Sat, 10 May 2008 15:10:02 -0400

It is short,. to the point. but truly means nothing.

All I have see is Yes we can: lose the war,

Yes we can raise taxes on the most of productive of Americans while awarding beer swilling trailer trash. I she with 5 kids, who will one day grow up to be just like moms and pops. You see they understand one thing and one thing only, with the Republican controlling both the house of Congress and a President that agrees with them, no more gravy train for them!

Yes we can ! spend a tota...

One more thought on Obama vs. Clinton

terpfan1980 — Thu, 08 May 2008 22:30:56 -0400

So I've done a little thinking over the last few days (hey! every now and then it happens ) and I started thinking that perhaps the Democratic primary season that never ends may be part of a grander plan, perhaps even rising to the conspiracy level. Now, please don't assume I'm a tin-foil hat wearing X-Files type individual that always sees conspiracies in everything going on around him. I'm far from it, and I really don't think my thoughts (that I'm about to share) on the seemingly un-ending Democratic nomination process reflect any real conspiracy, but... I have to suggest that in many ways things are playing out for the Democratic party about as well as they could ever hope for.

What happened to the voters?

NickKorzo — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:18:44 -0400

Every time I see a poll taken, be it on paper, video, or what have you, of what drives people's vote, they always say that it is the issues. At first, I was content to let that slide, and told my self "well those people are just Democrats, then. They couldn't be Republicans because Republicans have given exit polls since Regan saying they vote on 'values' rather than any actual substantive issues".

I've recently come to see, though, that it's not a partisan thing, it's an Am...

MAYA ANGELOU'S OPINION

sheral4954 — Fri, 02 May 2008 22:08:26 -0400

I hope that Black America that respects Maya Angelou sees who she is emdorsing, Maya is for Hillary, she's says SHE is the one to lead this country and be the NEXT presidednt of the United States... Maya Angelou is a woman of deep thought and high intelligence with wide spread respect from ALL races.

Oprah always was in awe of her, I hope she realizes her own error in siding with Obama. This man can CHANGE NOTHING. his slogan "yes we can" is so generic, yes we can st...

Will Democrats snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory this November?

Calor — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:40:54 -0400

Despite the Republicans doing nothing but damaging the economy, ruining the reputation of the United States across the world and getting us into a disastrous war in Iraq, the Democrats may still lose the Presidency.

Obama needs to take the bold step and tell the American people the real facts that conservative America have distorted of the years.

We don't live in a democracy or a republic. We live in a corporate controlled obliarchy. The laws and rules are set up to ensure that a tiny perc...

ANWAR, Nukes, Democrats, and Reality

Island Dog — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:36:58 -0400

I caught a little bit of the Bush press conference on energy and the economy yesterday, and I also caught some of the Rush Limbaugh show afterwards. Love him or hate him, he managed to make some valid points on the reality of energy prices and the economy. I also heard the democrats reaction to Bush's speech, and once again confirmed how clueless they really are.

One of the biggest arguements from the democrats regarding the economy is "record profits" from the oil companies. ...

Can Michelle Obama get any more irritating?

Anthony R — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:57:39 -0400

Yes she can!

Just team her with Evita Kerry and Viola.

WHO HAS THE MOST TO LOSE?

Harry_S — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:44:24 -0400

Who has the most to lose if Barack Obama is elected president? Why is Reverend Jeremiah Wright so set to bring down the possible election of the first black president? Why is he so vocal about his association with Louis Farrakhan, and why right now? Now back to the origional question of who has the most to lose if we have the first black president? What do these two men have in common and what do they lose if Obama is elected?

They lose there hate message that they both make a living from, as...

Obama, Intentions Not Results

Dr Guy — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:55:40 -0400

Whatever you want to say about Obama, that he is not liberal is not one of them. In classic liberal fashion, Obama has again decided that it is not the results that count, but the intentions.

When asked about Capital gains taxes by Charlie Gibson, Obama stumbled and fumbled and then basically said raising taxes was not about revenue. No, it was about "fairness".

GIBSON: You said on CNBC, and I quote, "I certainly would not go above what existed...

Hillary Clinton is a tough warrior woman!

Locamama — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:53:38 -0400

It's another great day to be a Hillary supporter. She has been written off and told to go away but look what keeps happening. She's still getting votes. She's still winning primaries. Today she is leading McCain in the polls by 9 points. She whooped Obama in the last debate so badly that now he's afraid to debate her again. "No mas, Hillary" Obama cries. Hillary is nothing if she isn't tough and resilient. She can take a punch and come back for mor...

I've smelled the audacity and stepped in the hope

Locamama — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:01:14 -0400

Something needs to change! It really is time for Obama to take a good look and realize that he's no longer the front runner. He hasn't won a primary since February. For all the talk of his oratory skills, he didn't win the last debate. He keeps alienating people whose votes he should be trying to win. I don't think people really want to vote for someone who thinks they are "bitter and clinging to God, guns and antipathy for people who aren't like them".&nb...

If You Can't Handle Debate Questions....Get Out

Island Dog — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:55:24 -0400

For the last week or so, the media can't seem to get over the so-called "baised" democratic debate between Hillary and Obama. I believe Hillary got hit with software questions, but then again, look at who the moderators were.

Was Obama treated unfairly? I don't think so, and really don't care. Obama had a terrible performance in the debate and had a very hard time explaining anything related to his ties to the racist Wright, and the domestic terrorist Ayers. As I have ...

Democrats fear Fox News

Moderateman — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:52:20 -0400

I am still waiting for one of the stations that the Democrats are not afraid of to ask any kind of serious question of the two remaining candidates. No wonder they are afraid of Fox news! where they might actually have to answer a question of substance like how are they going to provide Health-care for everyone? Where will the trillions come from? Or how will they withdraw from Iraq without letting Iran takeover the country? You know actual Presidential questions, with real answers! How about ma...

Congrats Hillary!

Island Dog — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:21:39 -0400

Congrats to Hillary for pulling off a win yesterday in the Penn. primary. I hope that Operation Chaos helped, and I really hope you stay in until the convention. Go Hillary!

Oh, why do I favor Hillary over Obama? Well at least I know all about Hillary and what she is about, I can't say the same for Obama and that is just worse.

Obama 4 prez? U NUTS?

sheral4954 — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:28:43 -0400

I just joined this site and I am disgusted at the thought that 80% of you people think "OBAMA" will be our next president. You must have voted before you realized what a hate monger he is, how anyone who loves "AMERICA" could even consider this man is beyond me. He is so negitive from his "OWN" book, his "words" he tells his views on AMERICA and how racial he is. And, don't even get me started on his wife Michelle and her anti white views, This man is setting this country back 40 yrs ...
