I think that "radical", "socialist", "extreme", "dangerous" all mean "black"
most of this language is to get the extremists and core-deep racists fired up for Tuesday.

3. No, they don't.
Core-deep racists don't need to be fired up at this point. They're in the tent.

My uncle sent me e-mails about Hillary Clinton that used the same crap terms.

4. No. Radical, socialist, extreme, dangeous and black all mean "other"
All of these words are meant to tell the majority that Obama is not like them and is therefore not going to work in our interests.

5. Hey, I'm not black.
I'm most of those other things, though. (Maybe not very dangerous anymore. Age, ya know.)

7. That's what we're here for: to dispute that idea and how absurd that
thinking is. They can try it, but I for one think it's unacceptable. I could care less if he's black, I care that he cares.

11. Not to mention "Muslim"
Edited on Tue Oct-28-08 09:44 PM by backscatter712
What's ironic is that in trying to avoid giving offense by directly attacking Obama's race and using the N-word, they made a pejorative out of a major world religion. And I find that to be just as offensive.

12. Additionally, when they say "real American" or "real America", they are...
marginalizing non-whites and non-Christians.

Joe Plumber said it today, "I'm voting for the REAL American"..... fucker.
