53. Even more, what is so disgusting about this particular slur is that it was used against McDumbya
Edited on Fri Jun-13-08 09:35 PM by Liberal_Stalwart71
during the 2000 SC Repug primaries, remember? KKKarl Rove's push polling asked SC voters if they were more or less likely to vote for McDumbya if they knew he had an "illegitimate black baby." That "baby" was the McCains' adopted Bangledeshi daughter. The Repugs love to use racially-coded language to scare white people, as Obama has noted.

It is even more despicable when one considers the fact that McDumbya cheated on his first wife with Cindy, whereas it is clear that the Obamas are so in love with one another. I feel that seeing two black people married and in love, raising a good family is psychologically uncomfortable for some whites who are not exposed to those positive images. Turning Michelle into a "baby's mama" is equivalent to Reagan's "Welfare Queen," and sadly many Democrats bought into that and became Reagan Democrats. To this day, the Democratic candidates continue to struggle with these fake Democrats and that's what Obama's facing right now.

How is it acceptable to ignore McDumbya's personal failings while not acknowledging the positive family-centered life that the Obamas exhibit???!?!?

It's racism, pure and simple.
