When confronted with dangerous and aggressive Republicans will Nominee BHO cry "racism"?
Seems to me if He and His followers label any affront to Him as racism, they're in for a rude awakening when they encounter all those impolite folks in the other party.
Just sayin'...

21. He won't try to Swiftboat McCain the way he did the Clintons on race?
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 01:46 PM by MethuenProgressive
How do you know he'll give that successful tactic up?

25. Learn your political definitions, OK?
Swiftboating applies when something is a lie. Therefore, your post is unintelligible through the use of that term.

Try again...you can do better.

31. Make sure you wear your personal flotation device aboard that O-Boat.
The Clintons aren't racists, no matter what your Leader is teaching you.

I'm commonly a delegate who particpates in my state's
Democratic Convention.

And I know just how the Hillary Herd works here on DU
and just how much influence they have in "the real world".

You're projecting again.

I like that... a Clinton supporter builds a strawman argument..
aka "Obama supporters will claim the middle initial is racist"... then another Clinton supporter says it is a double standard against Clinton "HRC" and then uses the "clinton supporter created" situation to say how Obama supporters are hypocritical.. Do you guys do this stupid act often?

46. R isn't her middle initial.
I've never ONCE seen anyone refer to her has HDRC. Maybe because none of her names can be used for race-baiting.

Everyone knows Hussein is his middle name, and normal people who aren't complete fuckwits don't care. But the most obnoxious thing in the world is when Hillbots and Rethugs (yes, I concede that there is a difference) use his middle name, then turn around and play dumb, saying "What? That's his name." You know exactly what you're doing. And real Democrats find it shameful.

63. Well...
Not taking sides for either candidate, but Clinton does refer to herself professionally using Rodham as her middle name, whereas I've never heard Obama refer to himself using Hussein as part of his professional identity. That's the difference, imo. Really, I just wish everyone would use "Clinton" and "Obama" to talk about the candidates--it'd take any racist/sexist inferences out of the whole issue.

7. I think Obama has faced racism enough in his life to know how to handle it.
That's one area I don't question his experience. He wouldn't have gotten where he is now if he couldn't handle "impolite folk."

the main complaint against the Clinton campaign was not racism. it was that they stoked racism amongst voters to gain a political advantage --there's a big difference.

You're really asking if the Republicans will pretend the Obama camp will accuse them of racism (guilty conscience?) like you're pretending they did in SC.

Yes, they'll probably do that.

48. They don't have anything else. The MSM will not help him spread
that manure against the Repukes though, so, he is, as you say, in for a rude awakening.

I don't think he's going to be the nominee because, although the MSM has swept the whole thing under the rug and blamed Hillary's campaign, voters aren't hoodwinked that easily. Be assured, blood is boiling. Polls be damned, he will not get to 2025. Just my opinion.

55. He has never labeled "any affront to Him as racism."
So I don't know why he would decide to do that when the general election campaign starts. He has so many issues to use against McCain such as the war and the economy that it won't be necessary to use race as an issue unless the Repukes themselves try to bring it up. In that case then Obama would be justified in calling them on it.

that indicated a whine, much less about racism. Hillary has herself whined sexism regularly, not just her supporters.

71. How's that "Targetted for Banning" hit list of yours working out?
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 03:54 PM by MethuenProgressive
Still working on that "alert-bomb this thread" o-mail loop?
See post 67 before you make yourself look anymore foolish.

95. I'm not a mod or an admin. I can't ban you or delete your posts. Sorry, you lose.


If you manage to get yourself banned, it's your own damn fault. I see you share an important trait with your candidate - the inability to take responsibility for anything.

72. He will probably cry Sexism
You know..When female republicans attack him.
I wonder If When Sen. Clinton gets hammered by a conservative of color she will cry reverse racism?
ISM's suck and this is a very silly thread

75. Of course his team will (he won't). But it will fall on deaf ears in the General Election.
The General Election is a different ballgame than the Dem Primaries.

76. The "Vote for me, or you're a Racist" won't help against the Republicans.
Maybe he'll hire Penn.

81. Likewise for Hillary...
without the gender card in NH, she'd be out of the race by now. The hypocrisy around here is hilarious. Constant attacks without looking in the mirror.

80. 'just sayin' the truth you mean!
And yes, he'll happily use, imply, fold, crease or mangle the race card in order to serve his interests. Himself.

the DLC candidate.

89. And I thought there was no humor left at the DU.
He is going to demolish McCain just like he demolished Clinton. By having a better message, a better run campaign, a more extensive and less tapped donor pool, and lastly by turning his opponents' attacks back on them.

98. "When confronted with dangerous and aggressive Republicans
will Nominee BHO cry "racism"?

nah he will piss his pants and run away and hide..you see he`s never confronted anyone in his life who called or wrote about him being a ..."fill in the blank".

"He and His followers label any affront to Him as racism, they're in for a rude awakening when they encounter all those
all those impolite folks in the other party.

we expected the impolite folks in the other party what we did`t expect is the "impolite people" with in the democratic party...

Now why are you actively working to defeat him in the general election?

109. And the repug party is totally not sexist and would never use sexism to their advantage.

It's going to be the same either way.
