I find it extremely fucking sexist to describe women as "vaginas".

Yeah. It's amazing how many people are finding something to get offended about, no matter where they look...

Rich, there are better ways to describe the women in your life than as a vagina.

There wasnt just a war on "vaginas" but a war on women ... on almost every front.

Tazzy, it looked to me like a swing and a miss at creating a bumpersticker phrase.

Speaking of bumper stickers, do you think swing voters would be swayed by one that said, "Yeah, but he's black, so he gets extra slack?"

Yeah good idea... but instead of just using it to taunt people in an internet forum, print one up and put it on your car as an "experiment".

No, by this point, if people have not made up their mind, they never will. This isnt an election to win... its one to lose.

I'm not even clicking the link, Tazzy. If you find it to be of concern, you can take it up with the mods.

Since you're here though, Tazzy, do you think the media is going to ramp up reporting on racial tension, as their October contribution to the campaign?

As well as in the last election.

Of the blacks that voted, 95+% voted for Obama.

I don't recall ever seeing anything similar for Whites, Hispanics or Asians.

You trotted out this meme at least once before, and I took the trouble to point out that African Americans have skewed heavily Democratic in recent decades. I even posted results from the last few presidential elections, in which African American votes for white candidates were strikingly similar to their votes for Obama.

To my intense annoyance, though, I can't persuade either CM's search engine or Google to find the damn post, and I'm too lazy to dig up all the information again.

What is surprising is that someone would need you to point out such a well known stat,or that any observer of the American political landscape would need the reasons for that fact explained to them .
Not like the Republican party is actually working to woo minority voters.....lol

What do the Republicans offer the elderly, the poor, people of color, and women of reproductive age in exchange for their support and vote?

This is a rhetorical question....right ?

The first link in your OP is about two communities feuding in a way over the past.

quote:

The flap died down until July — some time after the Littlerock Town Council switched its meeting spot to the high school in Sun Village.

It often takes some time for small town american stories without a massive crime tie-in or a tragedy to make it to the newspaper.

The second has to do with racial issues.. and yet its an issue within the GOP itself, admitted by that party.

And you have issues with these coming out? Is it the timing?

Its an opinion piece. As such, I would expect the writer to write whatever his mind wanted too at that time.

quote:

Last month, a 21-year-old Miami college student was sentenced to three years’ probation for posting threats against Obama on Facebook.

Read his Feb. 21 posting: “Who wants to help assassinate Obummer while hes at UM this week?”

Seems to me to be an appropriate timing for the piece. Should the world, and the media, stop because the election is near?

From the behavior exhibited in this thread, I'd say that the question would better ne put. " Will the nedia be covering the ramping up of racial tensions by desperate republicans?".

I mean, if this thread and the tenor around here is any indicator.

The world doesn't stop, Tazzy, as illustrated in the middle east earlier this month. That's why I'm suggesting the media is picking their timing (or hashing it out, in whatever the sequel site to Journolist is), so they'll have something that helps the President, when they say, "in other news today."

I think the second one, maybe. The first, I dont believe so. For, you may be right 50% of the time on this issue in the upcoming weeks.

The rightist part of the media will.......as they have been for years......

My favorite bit of racist poop to poke fun at, is that President Obama has caused race relations to get worse......

No doubt this might be true among your ilk................... but not with the general public.

It get`s said a lot on fox news and by rush and co. and repeated here, by your friends.

In fact tho.....the birther/Muslim shit,the racial insults and race-baiting has been a net minus for your party.

So is blaming the media for Mitt`s loser-flop, is the GOP`s last best hope of saving face........?

And I'm not the only one. As I was looking fruitlessly for my post, I found several others making the same point to the same poster. I think there may be some willful ignorance afoot.
