Who the fuck is this Tara woman on MSNBC saying Obama can't speak?

[Stinky The Clown]

Where do the media FIND these Repubucican black women?

I live in an area with lots of black people. I interact with a lot of black people. I have never met a black Repubican woman. I have met black Repubican men. But never a woman.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

1. I would like

a reference point.

Please.

[eleny]

2. She doesn't have a problem with W's speech?

[marimour]

3. i've met 2..... they are now supporting senator Obama

they are social conservatives so they would vote for Obama over anyone except maybe huckabee

[MadBadger]

4. The Washington Times of Course.

[Renaissance Man]

5. Black Republicans

Finding a Black Republican is like finding a needle in a haystack. They exist, but they are ten percenters. I wouldn't get worked up over this because Black Republicans represent an insignificant percentage of Black voters.

Did this person swoon over McCain's speech the night Senator Obama sealed the nomination?

[SharonAnn]

33. "A black man voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."

J. C. Watts father said this.

[Liberal Gramma]

6. That meme won't fly. Too many people have heard, and been moved, by his speeches

Do they really think that if one black woman makes an accusation, all the others will believe it? Or is it a lame attempt to be "fair" by presenting an opposite view? I don't get it either.

[hisownpetard]

7. I cannot imagine being black and being a Republican, just as I cannot imagine being gay and a

Republican, or being a woman and being Republican, or having a brain and being Republican, or having a heart and being Republican.

Why would anyone want to belong to a party that believes you don't/shouldn't exist?

[Renaissance Man]

8. Here's the explanation.

Many Black Republicans that I have found are attracted to the selfishness of the Republican Party, and nothing else. Speak to a Black Republican, and 9 times out of 10, you'll notice that the conversation will immediately turn in the direction of taxes, unless you meet a real self-hating Black Republican. Those are the worst.

[KeepItReal]

11. Some are also the "GOP knows best about the military" types

Also being a Black GOP'er gets you all kinds of attention....especially when cameras are around.

[hisownpetard]

15. I guess that's one explanation. Thanks.

[AspenRose]

25. Also extreme socially conservative Christians

"Pro-life," homophobic, etc.

[liberalhistorian]

32. Can we say "Ward Connerly" and

"Armstrong Williams", boys and girls?

[PatGund]

35. Sounds like "Log Cabin" Republicans

[frickaline]

9. I know he says 'um' a bit, but how can a repub comment with a straight face with Bush in office?

I mean seriously ... let's compare

[xxqqqzme]

12. oh, lets don't - it is too painful.

I am a real sucker for fine oration - one reason I love to listen to Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean or John Edwards. I can add Obama to that short list.

Public speaking is an art. When I was in high school - stay w/ me here - we were required, in my sophomore year to take speech - had to give a 5 minute speech as our final exam. (I think the speech teacher recruited debate team members from those classes) At the time I thought it was dumb - hey at 15 everything 'required' is dumb. That class has served me well. I am not afraid to speak at city council meetings or in front of large gatherings. I can organize my thoughts and speak my mind if the need arises. Too bad a class like that is no longer required.

[bluedawg12]

37. How can a repug say that with McMummbles droning on and on? n/t

[Cleita]

10. Well there is Condi Rice, a black Republican woman.

When she says Obama can't speak does she mean he's inarticulate or something else? Because if she's saying he's inarticulate that qualifies for a bold faced lie. The reason Obama rose to where he is now is because he got the nation's attention with the outstanding speech he delivered at the Democratic convention in 2004.

[rox63]

13. The only well-known black Republican woman I know of is Condi Rice

I'm sure there are a few out there. But they aren't easy to find.

[LiberalFighter]

23. And not a good role model at that.

[rox63]

14. Self-delete - Dupe

[ashling]

16. I think there is an no-talent agency they use to find these people

[Dr.Phool]

17. If her last name is Blackwell or Keyes,

Comprehension is probably the problem.

[TahitiNut]

18. This crap about gender and race determining one's politics is detestable.

It's a denial of an individual's uniqueness ... just more objectification of human beings. As a liberal, I find it disgusting that ANYONE would vote for a fascist, and I don't give a rat's ass WHAT their gender, race, religion, or ethnicity is.

Am I somehow required to vote along with the majority of white males??? I don't think so. I'll be damned if I condemn someone for having views distinct from some stereotype of their demographic commodity-type. It's IRRELEVANT.

Does the media choose its "spokesmodels" for their appearance - furthering the objectification of human beings? Ubetcha. Fuck 'em. I won't buy into it ... in EITHER way.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Yet she has no problem with the "McCain's black child" rumor.

[OwnedByFerrets]

20. If they paid me enough.....

I could pretend to be a AA republican woman for awhile:shrug: ...





on second thought.....my moral compass wouldn't allow me to say I was a republicant.

[libnnc]

21. I can't figure out how these anchors

get on with MSNBC without having done any serious work elsewhere.

Contessa Brewer was just a weekend anchor and field reporter out of Wisconsin and got picked up to read the news on Imus' show. Now she's in NYC? That's a huge leap.

[Bucky]

22. But now you've seen one on TV, so you can relax and accept they exist, right?

Race is never a basis for judging peoples' politics. It's evil when Republicans drag race into politics and it's evil when we do it. Calling Michelle a "baby mama" is not okay and neither is calling out that idiot's idiocy on account of her race. If she's an idiot, she's an idiot. race isn't involved.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Personally, I only give Obama maybe an 8 with his speeches.

I don't know why.. maybe it sounds too much of televangelist type minister which I despise.

But saying that Obama can't speak is totally ridiculous. Compared to McCain a white boy Obama totally outclasses McCain. Obama doesn't need prompting while McCain needs to be prompted by Lieberman. I wonder if this woman has even listened to McCain?

[aikoaiko]

26. obama on a bad day is still sublime compared to the chimp (even on a good day)

[democrattotheend]

27. My mom and I were talking about that last week

We are seriously convinced that at least half of all black Republicans in the US have TV shows.

[TheDonkey]

28. My aunt is a black republican woman. It's fucking scary

she is completely unhinged lol. Fucking a mess.

[JuniperLea]

29. She's confused... Republicans think W is a marvelous speaker!

So by comparison, Obama sucks.


:silly:

[bluedawg12]

38. True, dubya mouths neocon speeches real well. cripes. n/t

[depakid]

30. "Where do the media FIND these Repubucican black women?"

Same grubby corners of the world where they seek out global warming deniers, anti-evolutionist nuts and other assorted miscreants who're either delusional or will say anything for money.

[liberalhistorian]

31. Well, I saw the man in person in Rapid City just before

our state's primary a couple weeks ago, and I assure you that he most certainly CAN speak. And speak very well, very eloquently, and very kindly. What a tool that woman must be, the "token" black repub woman. I've never known any, either, and I've known a LOT of African-American women over the years, of different classes and ages.

[TahitiNut]

34. Well, let's be sure to inform everyone about race and gender political determinism.

All you black females? Over there!
All you white males? Get in the proper pew!
All you white females? Sit in back!
All you black males? Behind those bars.

God forbid anyone make their own choices ... that'd be just wrong. :eyes:

[barack the house]

36. Well there is Condi.
