This is unbelievable. The one on now says she's not voting for him because he's black.

1. At least they're getting that honesty out into the air
If people are going to have their big loud open embarrassing rage moment over skin color and so on, I'd love for them all to stop hiding behind the code words and fake concern so we can see who they really are for a change.

2. It's the last gasp for the desperate nutcases.....They'll be calling in to CSPAN....
..... and to liberal talk shows nonstop until the election. Also, I suspect there will be lots of low post-count visitors to DU until Wednesday.

15. Naw, it's not a last gasp
These folks are just getting warmed up. Wait until Obama is inaugurated and his policies begin to be enacted. They will absolutely flip out, goaded on by Rush, Michael and the whole Amen Chorus on Fox.

Bradley effect; there's not a lot of shame involved in being a racist right now.

5. I can't take it.
I kind of resent CSPAN for giving equal voice to knuckle-dragging haters.

6. They are Democrats pretending to be Republicans just to make
conservatives look bad.

That's obvious.

8. I'd much rather have someone be honest and say that's
the real reason.

But honestly, what does that person do, when they are in a car accident and the paramedic who comes to save them with the Jaws of Life is black? Or the police officer? Or the emergency room doctor or nurse? What do they do when their child's teacher at school this year is black? How do they get through life when they have to get out of that small town and deal with someone who is not white?

Do they deal with it and question themselves or do they ask for another paramedic and bleed to death waiting?

12. What if the heart about to be transplanted into them is from a black person?
I can't understand what makes minds think like that.

I understand that they do. I don't understand how or why.

9. Go to BookTV and listen to Stephen Pinker instead!
He did an interview today and there's another segment called The Stuff of Thought. You like language -- he's a linguist and a psychologist and very entertaining. In The Stuff of Thought, he's hilarious and talks about what happens in our brain when people use taboo words, aka, profane words.

Don't let those people waste your time.

13. Did you hear the call on the "Independent" line...
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 03:08 PM by Diogenes2
...from the person who claimed she was a Hillary supporter, but immediately said she was voting for McCain, and blathered on about not trusting Obama, and how he probably voted against the Iraq war because he was "Muslim sympathizer", etc.? Absolutely nauseating.
