The notions that African Americans vote based on race is by far one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time. (Before repeating trash from Limbaugh, do yourself a favor and study US HISTORY and Political Science.

(WOW, I guess all of the past election results would support this silly claim??? Lets look into Alan Keyes and Al Sharpton to name a few in recent history.)

If you think African Americans vote based on race than explain Keyes because he is CLEARLY “BLACKER” than Obama!!!!!

REPUBLICANS SHOULD LEARN HOW TO WIN AND LOOSE WITH CLASS!!!
ENOUGH of trying to play race, gender, class, and religion to get people to vote AGAINST THEIR BEST INTEREST.

DON’T FALL FOR THE RIGHT-WING SCAM AMERICA!!!!

I gotta bridge to sell ya too.

And I find it rather amazing that among other demographics, the trend was nowhere near 90% for Obama as it was among blacks. And I suppose if Obama was white and named Frank Harris, he’d have received 90% of the black vote too….you know…because they would have liked what he said…or something. Suuuuure. Nothing to do with racial loyalty there! LMAO!

In your world, I guess that’s all just a funny coincidence, and I guess over 90% of blacks must just be sick of the Clinton machine too, right? – That same Clinton machine blacks loved to death for the better part of 8 years. Yeah…that’s a logical and rational conclusion…..for a moron! LMAO! In the world of those with reasonable minds, that’s racism. And you sir are a racist. A bitter racist. And you are a giant dumbass on top of that.

Congratulations.

That was blatent (sic) racism. If you can’t see and admit that, then you’re the kind of stupid that just can’t be fixed.

Bullshit. 90% went for Obama over Clinton because they like what he has to say and, like me, they’re tired of the Clinton machine.

You see racism because you’re a racist, even if it doesn’t really exist.

Mind reading wasn’t necessary when over 90% go for Obama over clinton in a DEMOCRATIC primary.

That was blatent racism. If you can’t see and admit that, then you’re the kind of stupid that just can’t be fixed.

Why is that dependent on skin color? There hasn’t been much choice before. Jesse Jackson, sure, but there we had a black person they didn’t agree with.

It’s more about a PERSON they agree with. That’s why Obama is doing so well. Colin Powell proved that, as did the Wapo, the Chicago Trib, Chris Buckley, et al.

And yes, it is racist. Your using skin color to as a reason to vote for/against someone for a position of power.

Because the next hundred and fifty years gets really ugly and reflects badly on white people who are still alive. Criminy! What an asshat!

“Mentors and advisers” — wow, either you have no concept of these words or you’re just addicted to spouting lies.

Ayers served on a board with Obama. So, for that matter, did other people. But to Obama, Ayers is “a mentor/adviser,” whereas the other people…well, hey, they may have “palled around” with Ayers, but we don’t have reason to fear them. Ayers has been at no point involved with Obama’s campaigns or in shaping his vision.

Wright spent decades preaching about doing good works for the poor, and when he arrived at this misguided moment when he spoke out divisively, Obama delivered a remarkable speech on race in America in which he categorically denounced these views.

But why do I bother? Continue frothing, little mad dog.

By the way, recycling the Fannie / Freddie BS talking points is a sure sign of an ignorant wingnut troll. They were a peripheral problem; private lenders were by far the main source of this clusterfuck.

Could you be more specific about what you mean by this? Do you have any specific examples to buttress your argument? Do you think that people who served under Powell or elected Obama head of the Harvard Law Review would agree with you? I eagerly anticipate your reply.

Say speaking of corrupt failed quasi government financial organizations who do you think is # 2 on the Fannie Mae campaign donation list? Right behind Chris Dodd. Come
to think of it there are Democratic fingerprints all over that baby!

I’m also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be president?

Good to hear that as well.

Amused Observer is one of the cockroaches. Why do you suppose he wants to talk about Franklin Raines, who has no actual association with Obama at all?

Powell showed no great courage with his endorsement of Obama at this point in time. Given his past support for affirmative action and Obama’s scant record of actual accomplishment and experience the idea that the politics of identity held sway is not unreasonable. Both Obama and Powell are process over product kind of guys, veterans of the survival of the committee process.

One may quibble on individual issues but like McCain, Powell’s credentials as a patriotic American are unassailable. A refreshing change from some of Obama’s more personal mentors and advisers, Ayers, Wright, Raines etc.
