So, it seems that Obama gets skewered, by some of you, no matter what positions he takes. I can imagine the posts and accusations if he had accepted the endorsement and support  of  Muslims of either gender. You're  racist  prejudice and hypocrisy is transparent.

  I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it.

I mean, this is the last place I expected to find such bigotry. (Thinly veiled bigotry is still bigotry)

Man, imagine if it were as easy to spot a sexual devient as it is to spot a black man... We'd be in loads of trouble if the general populace is similar to most of you perusing this board.

Obama is better than Mccain in every way, and like it or not... they are your only two choices.

Weak, I just do it because I don't like Democrats!
I don't much care for Republicans either.
I'll be voting for whoever the Constitution Party's candidate is.
And, if that rotten bastard Ted Kennedy endorses Obama you *know* something evil this way comes.
And it didn't take Obama very long to choose between "principles" and "corporate campaign money" did it?

"SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

That's kind of low, guy has one foot in the grave and you're calling him a rotten bastard?

Whether you were racist or not is not part of one of my arguments LOL  I'm sure you mentioned that you were a racist somewhere etc.. so that's where he got it.  So anyway, here we go again with the Republicans tactics of focusing on stuuuupid stuff

Oh? He redeemed his life in the last few weeks?
I was trying to be polite.
Weak, I'm from Boston, Mass.
I probably know a little more about the Kennedy's than you.
And it ain't pretty! Having Ted Kennedy "endorse" you is like getting "kissed" by some guy named "Nunzio" who you owe $100k to and can't pay.
I doubt Obama will even take Massachusetts, Hillary won there and they love the Clinton's in Mass and Ted stabbed Hillary right in the back, not that SHE'd want his endorsement either!

Gee, you good ole boys are certainly getting in a lather, ain'tcha ? I wonder why that is ? We've seen your "arguments" before. Same old same old. Transparent, obfuscation, smoke.

You want a list ? Ok, it's always the usual suspects blowing smoke. Some of y'all are here, in this thread, and some are not. But, I'm sure, they will make an appearance sooner or later. It's gonna be a loooong electoral season. And , this time, you're gonna lose.

I'm not in a lather about anything.  I laugh everytime somone calls me a racist, a fascist, or whatever un-PC term their small minds can think up.  Us "good 'ol boys" have seen your arguments before too.  The Great Society, War on Poverty, the New Deal, etc.  All of them were dismal failures.  Same old lofty, pie in the sky, idealistic horse-manure. 

I don't need a list.  I know who's on it (everyone who disagrees with you).  Yes, it's going to be an interesting election.  I can't wait to see if all those Obama supporters are going to move out of the country when he loses (like y'all promised to do when Gore and Kerry both lost.)

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A young Muslim woman said she and another woman were refused seats directly behind Barack Obama -- and in front of TV cameras -- at a Detroit rally because they wear head scarves.

I thought liberals were tolerant and inclusive.  Hmmm, apparently not.

Regardless of imagined posts, the OP is absolutely correct when alluding to the pull of power and the associated trampling over principles.

Funny...
some of the most sexist people in this 2008 campaign so far were my women friends and acquaintances who supported Hillary simply because she IS a woman !
Likewise, some of the most racist people in this campaign have been those people who support Obama simply Because of the color of his skin !
Honestly, the guy really doesn't share the "Black experience". He was raised and schooled during all his tender formative years outside the U.S.
Obama doesn't even share the "slavery" heritage.
Heck, just read between the lines of his own Official biographical information page. Gee, you don't even need any reading-between-the-lines skills for most of it.
And after we study it, as for the man being a    Black   American     -- well, he's hardly either. Legally -- sure...   Pure, raw definitions  --- yeah...   but in all practical ways? heck no ! Not even close !

Why the average African American sees him as some sort of "brother/savior" -- or one of "their own"  appears to me as ultimately racist.. Prejudice based on the color of his skin and nothing more.

I've read multitude of books on the subject, and it was a failure.  Social Security is a good example.  The Great Depression ended with World War II, not the New Deal.
