Sure thing buddy--you keep thinking that. I'm not as dopey or clueless as I used to be.

You're giving me too much credit here though--I can't set something up "months" in advance and then boom--hit a bunch of people, assuming all the while that something racist might come up.

Now seeing the reaction people would have to a similar attack on the black people in the Republican party when some are excusing the same attacks on Obama--that was easy.

Racism's wrong folks, whether you're Obama or Powell--doesn't matter what side of the aisle someone's one. Racism though, unfortunately, isn't looked at as a form of hate that we should shun anymore--it's morphed into a way to be offended and a tool to make someone backpedal off of something they say that could be taken as "racist", when a racist meaning/intent was not meant.

It's flat wrong to use something like that as a "convenience" to down someone--not because it's an unfair tactic that ignores the crux of what that person is actually saying--but mainly because there's nothing funny, ironic, or convenient about hundreds of years of putting down someone just because they're "different".

I think that was a nice little case study that showed me a lot about how some people view racial topics. I'll remember that going forward. </div></div>

Nice BS...</div></div>

You're one of the 5 man--just remember, if I'm looking to form a football team, and I need a 5-man DB crew to run a Nickel package--I know where to go to find guys who really know how to backpedal back into coverage...no need to look any further!

George Peppard/John "Hannibal" Smith would share a cigar with me for that one.

He'd tell the rest of you to get on the plane.

However, no one is yet disputing my claim. Obama's 143 days don't look like much, do they?

LOL say it however you want but YOU put your foot in your mouth and all the doubble speak in the world will not fix it.

regardless, to say someone only gets a nomination cuz of their color is a racially motivated statement.

**imported_Counts** · September 17th, 2008, 09:59 AM

True I agree with that as well

**R13** · September 17th, 2008, 10:13 AM

Obama was nominated simply because of his campaign theme, CHANGE. America is in such need of change, that they seen him, obviously he represents change/not Bush and he was nominated. He just happens to be black.

**imported_Counts** · September 17th, 2008, 10:48 AM

Like I said I agree.......IMHO most of his supporters are voteing against Bush as opposed to For Obama.

Which is why the Dems are tring to link this ticket to Bush is it a smart move? (Yes) is it 100% Honist? (No)

The other side is no better Claiming experance is the #1 reason to Vote Rep but then picking a VP with VERY little experance
