If Obama switched parties and became a Republican, would the Freepers still hate him? Discuss. nt

[Speck Tater]

[rox63]

1. Yes - Next question? n/t

[scheming daemons]

2. He'd be a "RINO".... because he doesn't believe in the same things they do....

..they'd treat him like he was a black version of Olympia Snowe.

[create.peace]

3. I think they speel it rhino.....nt

[tk2kewl]

11. rinoe

as in potatoe

[create.peace]

19. ;-)...nt

[cali]

4. There's nothing to discuss. The answer is glaringly obvious: Yes.

[xultar]

5. Yes. Bottom line they don't want a bruva @ the wheel.

[yurbud]

15. look at what happened when Colin Powell cleared his throat about running in '96

His wife begged him not to do it because they got flooded with death threats.

The GOP is too dependent on the money of rich white guys and the votes of poor white guys who think they will get rich if they sell enough Amway or watch the right stock advice show, and need to feel superior to someone since they intuitively know they are the bottom of the barrel.

[xultar]

22. +10....and Colin is in their party....AND a war hero. The GOP is effin nutz.

[yurbud]

24. especially since Powell would have had a better chance against Clinton than Dole did

[madmom]

6. Answer a question with a question....

Do they like/respect michael steele or just use him as their token?

[peace frog]

12. Steele is a deliberately clownish character

Steele, as we all know, is merely a comic-relief placeholder for the GOP white power structure.

[madmom]

20. Exactly, and they would treat any non white person with equal contempt.

[jaksavage]

7. Not as long as

he behaved well on a leash. Like Condi.

[Dollface]

8. They would deny he was black and embrace him as half white.

[Chulanowa]

14. No, they firmly hold to the "one drop" rule

To them, the sheriff will always be a ni****

[fasttense]

9. Yes, they hate him because he is a member of a minority.

FDR saved capitalism so the capitalist could continue on in this country, yet the capitalist had such an abiding hatred of him, it was amazing to read about it.

Obama will always be hated by the neocons and corporatist, no matter what he does, because he provides a sterling example of why bigotry is just so damn stupid.

[Romulox]

10. They'll fall behind him in lockstep, just as DU's "centrists" demand Democrats do...

[Uncle Joe]

13. They would still hate him but they would tolerate him. n/t

[JuniperLea]

16. Yes...

But he would largely be ingnored anyway, because with him as a Pubbie, they wouldn't need a token black guy anymore. Oh, yeah, Steele would be out of a job too:)

[Trav1u]

17. hatred driven

Yes they would because they are motivated by their sick twisted hatred for black folks.

[jakefrep]

18. Would there be any freepers left after their heads exploded?

[LeftishBrit]

21. Unless he also moved to the far-right, yes.

It's obvious that they hate moderate/liberal Republicans as much as Dems.

And I can't quite imagine him moving to the far-right.

Also, he'd still be black, which I'm sure is a significant part of their reason for hating him.

[get the red out]

23. It depends on Rush and Fox News

Seriously, these people can't shit unless Rush or Fox has told them how, where, and what brand of TP to wipe their butts with.

[Juche]

25. If he had a true change of heart, they'd love him

They'd hold him up as a giant trophy, almost like we'd do if Ronald Reagan became a liberal.

However, since he is black and has an ethnic name he'd always be treated as if there were certain circles he shouldn't walk in. The fact that Barack Hussein Obama has violated that social more and become 'uppity' by becoming president is a big part of their rage.

So they'd love to hold him up as a trophy, but they'd never let him be president.

[ddeclue]

26. They practically rode General Colin Powell out of town on a rail in 2004

when it was merely rumored that he was considering running for office.

Yeah they'd hate Obama even worse even if he were an R.

[Quantess]

Not as much, but Obama would not have made it this far if he was R

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

27. They should be happy with him right now

He already kowtows to them too fucking much, when they are a minority of morons.

[Thothmes]

28. They would hate him on this forum also

[Freddie Stubbs]

29. Yes. Because like many DUers, they hate moderates

[panzerfaust]

30. You mean he is not?
