Barack Hussein Obama, an empty suit

Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 12:24 PM by OneAngryDemocrat
Noramlly, I seldom respond to all of the conservative hate-mail that fills up my mail-box, but, just because I was in a fighting mood, I thought I'd let one of the many neo-fascists out there know what was on my mind.

This fellow sent me an e-mail, and here's my response:

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit.

Really? Please explain...

No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no
understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.


Actually, he has quite an extensive reume.

Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983, and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review.

Sworn into the US Senate as the junior Senator from Illinois on January 4, 2005, Senator Obama serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees our nation’s health care, schools, employment, and retirement programs. He is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, which plays a vital role in shaping American policy around the world, including our policy in Iraq. And Senator Obama serves on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, which is focused on providing our brave veterans with the care and services they deserve. In 2005 and 2006, he served on the Environment and Public Works Committee, which safeguards our environment and provides funding for our highways.

During his eight years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

Additionally, he is an accomplished author, with two best selling non-fiction books, "The Audacity of Hope," and, "Dreams of my Father."

And, of course, he is the first African-American nominated by either of the two major US political parties, for the Office of President of the United States.

But my all means... please go on with your rant, RKASPER...

He has no real identity.

Really? I suppose you most be an expert on the topic. Please go on...

He is half-white, which he rejects.

Oh... by "identity," you REALLY mean RACIAL identity. I'm sorry you spend so much time on pegging people down as being either black, or white...

The rest of him is mostly Arab...

...or Arab. I would have thought being AMERICAN would have been higher on your list than RACIAL IDENTITY... but then, what the hell - it's free country, and you can judge people by their skin color all you want. Bu t I most tell you - you sound like a friggin' bigot.

...which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya .

Um... The guy's father is from Kenya, where 20% of the population is Muslim. Muslims, in general, adopt Arabic names. You couldn't really be too stupid NOT to know that, could you RKASPER? You don't seriously expect us to believe that you think that JUDEO/CHRISTIAN names, such as Joshua, or Abraham, are really European names, do you? Here's a better question - why on earth are you judging a man by HIS NAME?

Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he
pretends he is exclusively.


Well, gosh, RKASPER,if Senator Obama's grandmother is BLACK AFRICAN, wouldn't that also make his grandmother's son, HIS FATHER, Black African?

I'm starting to think you something of a cracker-case, RKASPER.

But, by all means - keep on ranting...

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships.

Well, we'd have to adopt YOUR definition of African-American as valid, as if it really mattered in the least, for this ACCUSATION of yours to be true.

I always assumed that the term African-American defined a man of African descent born here in the US, whether the man's descendents came over on slave ships, or not.

What do you call the third or fourth generation kids of non-slave Black African immigrants, if not AFRICAN-AMERICAN, RKASPER?

Never mind - I bet it's a naughty word.

I really am starting to think you are a kook.

You are spending an awful lot of time worried about the guy's parentage, rather than the guy, himself. You're not trying to scare bigots, are you?

He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners.

It's also quite possible that his Caucasian ancestors were slave owners, too - since you brought it up.

Obamamania is beyond politics and reason.

Well, it most certainly is beyond "Politics-as-Usual" - I'll grant you that, but it is NOT without reason. I for one, as well as most of America, as most polls show, are simply tired of the politics of fear & loathing - which, RKASPER, you seem to be participating in, with this sleazy e-mail.

It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

We'd have to share your particular brand of "Christianity" for this to be a valid proposition RKASPER. My particular brand of Christianity preaches that what you are doing with this horrible hit-piece you've sent out is unquestionably an act our Lord and Savior would have flipped tables over for, in vehement opposition. I think you've become a "respecter of persons," RKASPER - a phrase I doubt you are even vaguely familiar with. But, please, go on with your rant.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution
from the Sin of Being White.


Well - that's just reading too much into things, my friend. By all means - offer some proof of the "White Guilt."

There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed in Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it be cause it is absurd.

While quoting some Latin was a nice touch, you're simply just repeating yourself - I asked for some proof.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

That's not what the polls say - You're not going to actually provide any proof, are you RKASPER?

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any
thinking American.


Your e-mail is ridiculous, my friend, and all THINKING Americans have already given up on the Republicans' Grand Old Party, which isn't any longer, "Grand."

It's just, "Old."

If you'd like me to embarrass you some more, please visit my website, www.shockedandawful.com, and drop me a few comments. I'll be sure to publish your IP addresses if you do, however, because I believe that America's Neo-Fascists need to exposed to the light of day, or driven back into the shadows. So I certainly will NOT promise to keep your identity private, nor confidential: you will have to answer for your hate.

If that idea doesn't particularly appeal to you, then stop sending me your BS e-mails.

Obama/Biden '08

Peace.
