		<description>C from Texas....This is why racist will never die because the Blacks want to keep it alive so they&#039;ll have something to cry about…………
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speak for yourself.....If I’m not mistaken that was a complaint from racially prejudice whites, as you put it was crying about, “what about me if Obama become President“.  Race is a problem with all race, it’s just some play the game in the old way, is racist behind doors, but not really racist in public. 
Obama is biracial so he can tell us all a lot about living with prejudice from both races.</description>

		<description>Yes, we need to look beyond a persons race, gender, age and look at the person&#039;s heart and mind.  When you do this we will get the best
people in office.  Unfortunately it doesn&#039;t work that way in real life, because people are hung up in the past.  Get over it and get a life.</description>

		<description>This PUMA is tired of the Obamamania of his fake platform based on the corrupted school of politics from Chicago
 
Obama has injected the race card in the election from the very beginning. Look at his record please and you will find the real man behind the fake promisse of change and hope

PUMA action in the Convention to show the DNC that we disagree with his coup to put Obama as the nominee. He was selected not elected remember that. This election will go history as the major mistake of the Democratic Party</description>

		<description>I&#039;m from Memphis and I just voted for Steve Cohen.  Tinker is desperate and does not have a firm grasp on the issues that concern us as a city or a country.  Steve Cohen has done a great job as the 9th district Congressional Representative and I hope he continues the good work.  Not too many AA believe as Tinker does and use race as a wedge to achieve personal gain.  She was really behind in the polls and she needed something to try to give her a boost in the final days.  She really doesn&#039;t understand you far back she sets us all.  How pathetic!</description>

Why do the blacks always have to pull the race card in everything they do??
Not only in politics but in every aspect of life. They still think we should
compensate them for slavery over 100 years ago.
 ______________________________________________________
ummm...only a few years since those white boys dragged that Black man behind their truck in Texas. the white boys were called good kids just having a little fun...IN THE MEDIA. Katrina...Blacks were called refugees...according to the FBI if a Black person and a White commit the same crime, the Black person is more likely to get the greater sentence...look i know your brand of stupidity is the minority among whites but GEEEZ try to keep it to yourself sweetie, you make Good white people look BAD</description>

		<description>Tom B.,  enough of the bs already.  That church was far for racist.  Speaking about the history of black people in america does not mean people are racist.  That BS didn&#039;t hurt Obama in the primary and it won&#039;t hurt him in the general election.  If it&#039;s God&#039;s will for Obama to be president in November of 2008, he will be.</description>

		<description>The name calling and the polics of fear are the refuge of the disperate and the close minded. Most people on these board need to get out of their comfort zones and experiance other races, creeds, and political viewpoints. Use your intelligence, don&#039;t just be a minon of the pundits. Think for yourself and understand both sides of the argument.

I also want to ask the Obama supports to follow you candidate and stop using all the variations of &quot;old&quot; to describe Macain.</description>

		<description>Why Cohen was clapping in Churches, yet voted against children praying in schools?  That&#039;s called &quot;separation of Church and State.&quot;  I agree.  

There should be no mention of race,  no mention of the KKK (unless he actually has ties to that), they should be issue based campaigning.  People sometimes think they get sympathy by race baiting.  It doesn&#039;t work on the federal level and it won&#039;t work anymore on the state level.  I don&#039;t know enough about these candidates to give a knowledgeable answer.    Obama was right,  &quot;these incendiary comments have no place in politics.&quot;</description>

		<description>Did the Jewish guy make bigoted statements?

The black guy calls the jew racist. The jew calls the black atheist?

How are racist and atheist comparable attacks?

Obama could have said quit race baiting. He criticized both.

When are people gonna see that Obama has antiamerican, promuslim sentiments beating in his heart?

His pastor was a life mentor. His step-dad was a muslim. His pastor is friends with the nation of islam. Jews ought to realize he is not sympathetic to them, he is sympathetic to the cause of black america which often runs hand in hand with islam.

Obama&#039;s mother was 17 years old when she conceived him, living away from her parents in Kansas as a freshman in college in Hawaii, 2 months into her first year. His dad was 24 or 25 years old, a foreign student from Kenya, and statutory raped her. Mom and dad both atheist. Obama had little to do with either parent after 5th grade, this man has no roots other than Rev. Wright.

Repubs are gonna slaughter him in court of public opinion.</description>

		<description>Shame on Tinker!  He is so sick and twisted!  If he didn&#039;t live in Tennesse I&#039;d swear he&#039;d just stepped out of Jeremiah Wright&#039;s hate-filled church!  I hope he loses.

As for Obama &quot;weighing in&quot; on this racially-loaded matter.....he shouldn&#039;t even go there.  His campaign has been dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck (sneaky!) since South Carolina.  Same thing.....just more suave and covert.

Was for Hillary....now McCain all the way!</description>

		<description>I was going to ask McCain regarding promises if he thought &quot;his&quot; promises meant much. But when reviewing McCain&#039;s speeches and town hall comments I realized that McCain has not made any promises. McCain has stated plenty about what we need. If you follow his comments they are as follows: &quot;we need this or we need that&quot;. But there is never any folllow-up proposals of any kind as to how we are supposed to get what we need. So I guess we can&#039;t ask McCain if he thought any of his promises meant much. If people do not like or don&#039;t trust Obama&#039;s promises that is fine, but at least Obama provides something that a person can study and determine whether they are empty or not. McCain offers nothing.</description>

Hopefully the disgraceful McCain campaign will get the memo too.&quot;

Any actual facts Donkey Party or are you like the &quot;messiah&quot; who makes stupid remarks with no basis of fact and when he is called on it, his campaign LIES just like they LIED about the Dollar Bill remark &quot;that is not what we meant&quot; and then later had to recant by STATING that John McCain will USE RACIST TACTICS WITH NO, NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA basis for saying that about McCain. 

The chosen one is DONE as he did this crap against Bill Clinton and guess what, he hasn&#039;t forgotten about the smears either and they will happily throw a wrench in his winning this year so Hillary can win in 2012. 

Would you McCain haters who are calling him a racist be stunned to know that this RACIST, adopted a beautiful African American child a few years back?

Keep drinking the Obama Kool-aid, but Kool-aid has killed before. 

Empty vessel, empty ideas, empty rhetoric.</description>

		<description>Jo   August 7th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Rep. Cohen also was quoted as likening Hillary Clinton to the Glenn Close character in Fatal Attraction with a comment something like she should have stayed dead in the bathtub. No wonder Obama thinks Cohen should be reelected.
 

***************************************

I did not know that Cohen likened Hillary to Fatal Attraction.

So, we have racists and misogynists in Tennessee. 

 I take my previous post back and ask all citizens in Tennessee to NOT vote for Cohen but an Independent.</description>

		<description>Many people feel that Obama used race to smear both Clintons. Now he is telling &quot;lessimportant&quot; people to be above it.

White people HATE being called racist when they try to be impartial.

Obama uses race for political gain. This is an opportunity to appear he is above dirty politics. Really Obama is the dirtiest in history, accusing the most highly regarded living democrat, Bill Clinton, of being racist.

Obama used up all his fuel, if he tries to use racism in general election, it will only hurt him.</description>

		<description>I am amazed at how people bring up Rev. Wright.  Yes, he did go there for 20 years.  How many of you really know Rev. Wright beyond what you heard in the media?  Do you know he operated on President Johnson?  Do you know he was invited to the Clinton White House?

To Texas Trail Dog- As an African American- I agree with you.  The only thing left for America to do is apologize.  It what was done for other groups.  We need to move away from comments by Pat Buchanan that coming to America was the best thing to happen to blacks.

As Americans- we need to move beyond our racist past.    A country divided will fall.  Look around we are falling.  Jobs are leaving.  The economy is in the tank.  We need to come together and work together.  That is what America is really about.

At the end of the day, we are one country with liberty and justice for all.</description>

		<description>TEXAS TRAIL DOG: YOU ARE THE OE WHO NEEDS TO STUDY HISTORY, DUDE.  THE EUROPEANS (WHITE ANGLO SAXONS) STARTED THE SLAVE TRADE OUT OF AFRICA.  And the FOUNDING FATHERS OF OUR NATION HAD MANY A SLAVE OWNER AMONG THEM, INCLUDING THOMAS JEFFERSON.  

Let&#039;s not even get into the Jim Crow laws!  All the linchings throughout the SOUTH IT WAS LEGAL TO LYNCH A BLACK MAN.  SO PLEASE, READ UP ON HISTORY!  AND FACE THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH!  

Its SO sad that a Jewish candidate and an African-American one, can not rise above prejudice!  

And people start to get all bothered when Sen. Obama mentions (and rightly so) that he does not look like the men on our currency!  Point made.</description>

I thought Roland Martin talked yesterday in his editorial that &quot;the Obama campaign is afraid to inject any race in to this process&quot; and yet here Obama is injecting himself into a racially charged issue that has NOTHING to do with him. 
_____________________________________________________

Once you are the presumptive nominee for president then you automatically become the head of that party so this actually DOES have something to do with him because these are two democrats slugging it out. 

Kathryn - I guess some people do take pride in being ignorant.</description>

		<description>If anyone believes McCain when he accused Obama of playing the race card when Obama referred to his face on US currency, think again.  McCain flat out lied, and MSM has not called him on it.

Remember when Obama had displayed that new campaign logo back in June when he was in New Orleans I think it was.  Camp McCain hit back with a website video that made a mockery of the logo.  It showed Obama&#039;s face on the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and a $100 bill.    

Last week McCain denied that ever occurred.  I suppose he could.  When the video was released, it did not have that &quot;...I endorse this message...&quot; blurb on it.  The video was seen as having the potential to be racially charged so it was taken down within hours, and some aide was reportedly dismissed.  But, the purpose had already been served.</description>

Please go up and read a couple PUMA comments and judge for yourself.</description>

		<description>Sad to say... but I was just in Tennessee.. and I&#039;ll tell you what... racially charged is the perfect word.  I was listening to local radio talk shows out there.. the most racial bunch of crap I ever heard.  I hate to think that this is the general mentality of the Tennessee resident.  

I heard nothing but Obama bashing... and the infamous &quot;N&quot; word seems to come out of the mouths of the people there just about as naturally as &quot;Hello&quot;.  I feel sorry for that Tinker lady out there...  because I now know what she must go through living there.

I thank god that the rest of the country isn&#039;t like that.. and thank god I don&#039;t live in Tennessee.</description>

		<description>Democrats... these are the people who told you that when whites break for Hillary 55-45% they are being &#039;racist&#039; (in progressive states like Pennsylvania, New York, and California too) but when blacks go for Obama 90%-10% in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Mississippi (some of the most de-facto segregated states to this day), they are NOT being racist?</description>

		<description>Me personally, I don&#039;t pretty much care if they go negative or not.  Hey, if race and gender is gonna solve our problems, then go right ahead...</description>

		<description>Mr. Obama doth protest too much, methinks.

Mr. Obama’s race-based campaign is perhaps the most divisive in history and has caused irreparable damage to the Democratic Party and the United States.</description>

		<description>Thank God I&#039;m a Black man that can see through the Obama rock-star image.

More African-American men need to lead their families and neighborhoods away from voting for this man.  He isn&#039;t here to help you or I, he is here to help himself.  Wait for a better man, a more qualified man!</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s campaign has injected more race, has been more sexist, and has divided this nation more than any campaign in history. The nerve of him to speak about anyone being divisive. Obama should take a good hard look in a mirror. He has alienated Democrats from their party and created a new group of Republicans and Liberals. His divisive ways will come to light in November when once again the democratic party is defeated.</description>

		<description>People who try to distract from racism by throwing out the term &quot;race-card&quot; are people who consider an accusation of racism to be more damaging than racism itself.  

When you in your heart divide people by race you are leading this country to what we see in Iraq with the Sunni vs. Shia.

If McCain or any politician running for office can&#039;t win on their ideas and convincing arguments for our future, they shouldn&#039;t win.  Leave race out of it!!

Come together America!!  Right NOW!!</description>

		<description>&quot;he&#039;s the only senator who thought our kids shouldn&#039;t be allowed to pray in school.&quot;     then he&#039;s the only sane senator you have; kids SHOULDN&#039;T be praying in school!!  GO REP. COHEN!!!

obama was asked how he felt about the situation and he answered. what he said is true, enough with the ugly carl rove/newt gingrich ugly, lying way of playing politics.  let&#039;s hope this country and the world have gotten as ugly as they are going to (i know, i dont believe that either).</description>

		<description>Texas Trail Dog ........We Know Our History ...Experience is the Best Teacher 

Paris........Then why did you play the race card against John McCain?
You did the same thing in the primaries. So did Bill 

biffington, biff   
if you have to play race politics in order to win, then you shouldn&#039;t be running.
my 2 cents .here is A Nickel Shut the H_ll Up</description>
