ARRRGGHHH! Someone told me about this tonight, so I looked it up

:banghead:

This is the 'view' that the right-wing sees....it's not pretty.

1. Why don't they try the same thing in a white neighborhood?

Braggart racists disgust me. I don't know why you're concerned about it.

[Mind_your_head]

4. Do you think you'd get a different result in a white neighborhood?

I don't think so.

To me, it's not about black/white......I see that part as equal.

Who is paying attention ~ or not~ and pissing their future away, b/c they don't even bother to pay even a little bit of attention, don't DARE to challenge what the guy with the microphone suggests (i.e., that Palin is Obama's vp running-mate and/or that Biden is running with McCain).....nevermind the ISSUES :eyes: that Obama or McCain support/denounce.

It's really frightening that uninformed/ill-knowledgeable people vote! (Maybe they really don't and just SAY they do/did? :shrug:)

5. So white voters

are smarter and more informed? Yes, I think you'd get the same results in a white neighborhood.
It isn't only Blacks who don't pay attention.

2. OMG, the right wingers are the worst

They are the ones who get it all wrong. Let's not forget the woman at the McCain Rally who thought Barack Obama was "an Arab".

3. come on, it's Howard Stern (and his self-hating sidekick)

They even threw in a McCain supporter at the end, the takeaway was purely racist not partisan. It's not what the right wing sees until Limbaugh officially steals the bit.

6. Absolutely racist.. and I don't know why the OP can't see it. nt

[Warren Stupidity]

10. both of whom supported Obama.

7. Have you ever seen the Jay Walking

segments on the Jay Leno show? Not the best and brightest there, that's for sure.

8. LOL! proof that even idiots can see O is the better man

4 the job!

As for the right wingers: joke's on them, and my guess is that they are not learning their lesson. this elitist arrogant shit doesn't go well with the electorate, but I am grateful they are throwing their childish little temper tantrums on corporate media, it's good for pres Obama's numbers ;)

9. Sad to say but most people vote for President based on feelings and Not rational policy ideas.

But it has been shown that these "feelings" (that most people can Not articulate) are really quite accurate. These "feelings" are based on body language, tone of voice, and word usage, that combine to give an overall impression of a candidate.

Unfortunately "feelings" can be manipulated and hate and fear are one of the most powerful and easily manipulated "feelings".

11. I know Republicans who simple vote on whether or not they like the candidate.

That's it. They say they support conservative policy positions, but if I told them that nationalization was conservative they would support it.
