I'd sooner vote for a syphilitic goat than McCain.
Right on target.
Yes!
It's more subtle than saying "boy"
but the "Jesse Jackson" hit was a true example
The relentless video overlearning that has, even before Hillary, grown so familiar since the 2000 election and 911 is losing the enchanting and confusing grip it has maintained since Kennedy was shot...
And, as much as I like Obama's ability to calmly frame the issues, there's something equally attention-grabbing about the $4 gasoline and sky-rocketing grocery prices brought about by 7 years of Rethuglican misrule.
We have seen the impressions of Barack Obama as Muslim, Black, stranger, unsteady, Ken Starr, creepy, inexperienced, and so on
I am so disgusted by the Clinton's continual attacks focusing on CODE language that gets the message across yet shrouds it with "some" sort of cover. After years and years of financial and written support, I was shocked when Billie boy first began on his racist diatribe back in South Carolina, which is when I began to review my feelings for the man. Both he and his wife use whatever they can to attain power, both party and nation be damned!
Now isn't that Presidential!
Just joking, and totally in agreement with you on the matter:) Hillary and Bill are very aware of the social and political ramifications of "code" language. I'm just praying there are enough good people in Pennsylvania and across America that won't buy into it.

There are plenty with this mentality here in Maryland.

Are you for real? You write like a 7 year old (or a hick) then expect us to take you seriously. When did hillbillies learn how to use a computer?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
or even vote for a black man, but Americans surprised the Clinton's and the Pundits and Obama is winning the nomination so it is not really the voters being racist it is Hillary and Bill and her supporters plus the Media overpaid hacks that are trying to make this about race and trying to spin it like it is actually the voters. I said this when the primary was first starting, that the Clinton's were going to say that even though Hillary is a woman she is a white woman.
John Aravosis is on the "inside", and knows the time of day.
Obama’s Explanation of “Controversial” Remarks Moves Democrats and Independents

Nice try. Next!
E-
What enrages me is that Hillary seems to be taking her plays from Karl Rove and Roger Ailes' playbook. That kind of makes me foam at the mouth, because that's the shit we should be getting away from.
Every negative attack by HillBilly pushes me closer and closer to Obama.
Yeah, but that is foolishly again the better of two evil choices. What isn't foolish and makes me seriously consider Obama is how well he handles these attacks. He demonstrates a lot of character, class and also intelligence in handling Hillary's "kitchen sink." Hillary demonstrates the opposite. She is demonstrating exactly what we've already had too much of in 8 years, lack of character, class and intelligence. And, the most impressive thing about Obama is that he seems to be growing, gaining in stature and statesmanship. Perhaps, I'm reading too much into it, but Obama seems to be a real leader. I'm still not very comfortable that he was a corporate candidate, but I am hoping he no longer has any need of alliegance to the corporations, elitists, and power brokers since most of his financing is grassroots. If he turns his back on the fat cats, this man may rise to be one of our greatest presidents ... if they don't assassinate him out of terror for what he could do.
This kind of reading too much into every turn of phrase is exactly the same line of attack that Obama supporters complain about when it is directed at Obama, so let's not have double-standards here.
There are enough legitimate problems with some of her campaign tactics without veering off into stuff like this.
=============================
I am sorry, but that is just plain nonsense! Code language has been used for years and years to convey a specific message while shrouding the speaker with some form of protection. What you speak of is that exact shroud and NOT the actual intent.
Hillary's campaign is made up of some of the supposed Best of the Brightest in the Business (although they have fumbled this campaign nonstop) and they know all too well what they are doing.
If you call a white man an elitist is has a totally different meaning , just like when you can a white man "boy", it is almost like an affection for him like a good old boy.
It's not sexist when Obama calls Hillary "Annie Oakley", and its not racist when Hillary calls Obama "Elitist". It's called campaigning, and I think that supporters on both sides need to stop whining and go out and knock on some doors in Pennsylvania or Indiana or North Carolina.
As the rumination continues over Barack Obama''''s comments about Economically-Depressed Small Town Voters, Statements made by Bill Clinton on the SAME TOPIC --
Uttered while he was running for president in 1991 -- have now surfaced.
"The reason (George H. W. Bush''''s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these (Economically Insecure White People) who are Scared To Death,"
Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.
===================================
There are lots of great women hunters, but perhaps you should reconsider with whom you hunt...
Just a thought.
A lot of us sit here and wonder why she is still in the race when she can't win. At some point someone is going to start using other reasons to explain this besides vanity and the desire for power. Maybe the alleged "he can't win" comment served as the real insightful moment. Assuming that was actually said, what do you think she or they meant by that?
The point is that at some point the list of reasons why she is willing to damage the democratic party will need to be explained. Undoubtedly, some will put forward that she is TOTALLY racist and can't stand the thought of a black man being president. Another explanation might be that she is ok with a black president but is willing to play on and take advantage of those that aren't ok with it. If the latter is the case, is that actually better?
Republicans for years have been telling the black community that democrats really don't care about you and that they're just using and taking advantage of your support. Might this actually be true?
However this election turns out, there is more than we can imagine at stake. If Obama doesn't win the election or the nomination (especially the nomination), how will it be explained? Who will do the explaining?
Some will say that he lost it because he was elitist, some will say that he lost it because of rev. wright, some will say he lost it because of some future blunder. But some will say he lost it because he was black. If these people can actually make that case by the time its all over, what will happen then? Can you imagine what will happen then???
One of the reasons I support Obama is his message of change. And just his existence in the race is an example of the change he can bring. I have a feeling that America and more specifically White America is going to have some heavy soul searching to do when this is all over. That is assuming that they care to do it. And most people say they do.
I don't know the comment that Obama made could also be subtly racist as well! But it would be different if it was Clinton that said that comment now wouldn't it. obama supporters would be all over it.
There you people go again have to play that race card. Can't live with out it...hell no!
Obama and his wife are as racist as can be, they and their supporters will play it till the end.
Go BARACK! I hope to walk away with Pennsylvania!
The Democrats do this too... with the Republicans... saying they are "only for the Rich", and this works... IF the Candidates hold postions that support such claims... in this example... Hillary has a record for NAFTA, Obama against... so....
Anyhow.... it is amazing to me how many Democrats are using race in this election... I have seen examples of outright racism in a liberal chatroom that I frequent... from Hillary supporters whom I once liked... no longer. They take the Ferraro position with Barrack, and chat about Michelle Obama in the same vain... making ridiculous statements about her being advantaged because she is black. I have seen some pretty nasty racial stuff coming from "liberals"... it is truly disgusting.
sickening.
filthy.
These are the words that come to mind when I think of what Americablog has become.
You should release the stats on the number of hits you get by posting these overdramtic headlines, and the $$$$$ you make as a result.
Which reminds me! I'd better make a contribution to the blog.
