the Race card is when a given race claims racisism for the motivations of someone or something.

Or here is a better explanation.

Sounds like a vague right-wing term.

There is actual racism used against Obama everyday in our media.

jillio

Funny....the only people focused on race card are the ones that are white middle class.

And, if you will go back and read all of the reports on this event, you will find that race was very much a motive for these disturbed individuals. So, if there is such a thing as this alleged race card, who is playing it? It would appear to be the white race, not the black one.

Sure, no problem.

I don't pay attention to any drama, such as Brad that who trashy talk on republican party and others.

I'm sorry, but I have no respect or compassion for today's Republican Party or the people who follow it.

OR

McCranky/Rottney ?

Sounds good too.

Why is it acceptable and amusing to mock the names of Republican candidates but not Democratic candidates? Why is it OK to make jokes about Republican planes being shot down or crashing, but it is hateful and racist to joke about an assassination plot against Obama?

BradB08

Your reading comprehension needs work. The joke isn't about Republican planes going down. It's a reference to McCain crashing several planes during the Vietnam War before he was captured and became a POW.

If people can make references about Obama, we can make references about McCain.

You want to paint Obama as a marxist and a radical? I will paint McCain as a crappy pilot and use the plane analogy to describe his campaign.

hmmm... here's a weigh scale...

left side - you as boy aka J's parrot... and
right side - Reba as a very seasoned military journalist...

weighing.... weighing....

hmm... ay de mi.. your side's feeling quite light, Brad. your view and your thought are clearly biased and one-sided but that's ok. it's how the world is but the sticky thing is... you're strongly asserting that yours is more correct one. and what's funny to me is... you're worshipping and glorifying Obama like he's a Messiah for USA.... a man who has not proved a damn thing in his life.

Look at Bill Clinton.... Collin Powell.... Michael Jordan.... Robert de Niro... they didn't get a respect and recognition just because they talk good. They walked the walk and talked the talk and got a long history of record to prove it. Obama? He talked the talk and walked nothing and got a pretty short record.

Now, Sen. Obama's life is a 21st-century incarnation of the old-fashioned American dream. His achievements are proof of our continuing progress toward the more perfect union of our founders' dreams.

The values of freedom and equal opportunity, which have given him his historic chance, will drive him as president to give all Americans -- regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability -- their chance to build a decent life and to show our humanity, as well as our strengths, to the world.

We see that humanity, that strength, and our nation's future in Barack and Michelle Obama and their beautiful children.

We see them reinforced by the partnership with Joe Biden, his fabulous wife, Jill, a wonderful teacher, and their family.

Barack Obama will lead us away from the division and fear of the last eight years back to unity and hope.


So if, like me, you believe America must always be a place called Hope, then join Hillary and Chelsea and me in making Barack Obama the next president of the United States.

Thank you, and God bless you. Thank you.

Clinton: Barack Obama is the man for this job - CNN.com

Straight from the trascript of Cinton's speech. He walked the walk, got the respect, and now he's passing it on to Obama. It's official, folks.

Jiro

Fine speech by Bill. unfortunately not convincing enough to give Obama a serious thought. one can say Democratic Party's just grasping for straws to get White House under democratic control.

That made me shit in my pants. Based on history of Democratic Presidents' use of military... that's gonna mean - more military decision gaffes. It's funny.. Republicans' key message on Democrats is "inexperience... terrorism... etc." and Democrats' key message on Republicans is "global warming... tax... etc."

please Democrats... get it right - Global Warming is NOT largely caused by men. It's the natural phenomenon, silly.

jillio

YES WE CAN!!! Made history tonight, and will make history again in November!!

Jiro

NO WE CAN'T!!

jillio

Watching the news just now; they were interviewing one of the guys arrested in the assasination plot. This is a quote from him:

"Yeah, we were gonna do it. He don't belong in office. Blacks don't belong in office. He deserves to be shot."

Jiro

oh shit! <turning on tv> thanks for latest news!

Jiro

J - what channel is it?? i can't find it. Right now - it's Biden talking

orione1even

OK

I love politics, and I love Obama. I admit that as much as I try to push it out of my mind, there are a lot of delusional, psychotic, inbred, right-winged fanatical douchebags out there who are capable of such an unspeakable act. I am fully aware of the implications of all this and it chills me to my core to think that America has fallen that far...

But they found 44 grams of meth in that truck....44 GRAMS! I'm no marksman, but at that kind of distance, it's safe to say you'd need to hold the rifle steady. There's not a chance in hell.

So as horrifying as an attack on such a fine American mind would be...I will sleep soundly tonight with dreams of what's awaiting these backwoods fucks in jail tonight. I hope it feels like they've been raped by a train.

jillio

You missed it.

jillio

Another good post.

Jiro

Biden's speech.... I'm sorry but this whole "change" thing is not thrilling to me. Obama's vision is not conducive of capitalism and innovation. Because all the money is going to people... the freeloaders.... The whole shibang of equal pay, equal this, equal that... how is it not similar to Marxism? There would be less and less incentives for corporations and wealthy people to create competitive markets and innovations.

I'm sorry to sound like a snobby asshole but i did not live in America to be as equal as a freeloader. I work hard for bigger pay.. and he works and get lesser pay... but we're equal? he gets equal pay, equal medicare as me? Now that's something wrong in the picture. if i want to be equal, i can just go move to communist/socialist country and not worry about whole bullshit like medicare and crap. There's a reason why there are fierce competitions and classes.

Look at Russia. It didn't work. Look at China. It didn't work. and it's not gonna work in here either.

jillio

The freeloaders? Please elaborate on that thought.

Could you draw some parallels between Biden's speech and Marxism?

Jiro

sorry - I submitted early. I just revised my original post.

jillio

Again, the "freeloaders"? Please elaborate on exactly who these people are.

Jiro

Michelle Obama is a huge driving force and a big influence on Obama... which led to this day. You know what? Michelle should be running for President, not him. I can almost say she'd get my vote.

jillio

Article ToolsPrintEmailReprintsSphereAddThis RSSYahoo! Buzz An exclusive TIME/CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll reveals that Barack Obama leads John McCain by several percentage points in three crucial battleground states—Nevada, New Mexico and Pennsylvania—while McCain tops Obama by 1% in Colorado.


Obama's widest margin is in New Mexico, where 53% of registered voters said they prefer the Democrat to 40% who favor McCain. Obama also holds a five-point advantage in Nevada (49% to 44%). Both states went narrowly to George W. Bush in the 2004 election.

Jiro

Freeloaders as in... common/poor people. I don't believe they should be as equal as privileged people (the one with money). I do support some kind of assistance program for the underprivileged people but them having equal benefits (like medicare) as the rich for life?

equal rights........... fine
equal opportunity... fine
equal benefits.......

I've already explained at great length in my previous post.. the one you dismissed it as "garbage" so no need for me to elaborate any further. You can simply go back to it and reread it.

jillio

Hmmmmmm....

Jiro

holy shit. I just saw an excerpt of Clinton's speech about Candidate X and Y... ouch that's gotta ZING. I gotta find a complete transcript on that.
