Condi Rice and Alan Keyes ran for president against Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Stop it, Lobo! You just made me spit out my coffee!
Tommy's supposed to start the rabble rousing threads. We're not supposed to chime in until later - just before they get deleted. :eek: |

Never gonna happen. Everyone knows those 4 are genuine natural born Americans. The only ones getting through nowadays are manchurian candidates.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

Or possibly he's talking about the folks who enjoyed the tune made popular by Rush Limbaugh?

I suspect that the sign-carriers or song-enjoyers weren't any more fond of, say, Clinton. Even if they're racists, that doesn't mean it's the (primary) reason for their opposition to Obama as President.

President Clinton was the blackest President we ever had.
He once uttered "You can kiss my black ***" at a lecture here in San Diego to thunderous laughter and applause. |

Yes, by all means, let's legitimize hatred and bigotry. After all, out of 300 million there's only a few of them doing it.

If you mean, though, that people who espoused racist views should be marginalized in the court of public opinion, that makes sense. And yet you've remained entirely silent when I've brought up the cases of Jesse Jackson, who got MILLIONS of votes to become the Democratic nominee for President after referring to New York City has "Hymietown," and you also remained silent about the fact that Al Sharpton was given a featured speaker spot at the Democratic National Convention after being found liable for slander and making his racist "diamond merchants" remark. So I don't find your selective outrage particularly compelling.

No, I'm with you, Lobo. We should allow hatred and bigotry to go unchallenged when ever possible. In fact, let's make excuses for it. I'm sure in the end they mean well.

Pre-emptive response in anticipation of Landmark's reference to Jackson's later apology. Yes, he did apologize, and I appreciate that you took his apology to be sincere (and perhaps it was). The apology came after first lying about whether he'd made the remarks, and attributing the story to a Jewish conspiracy against him. But that's all neither here nor there; the reference to Jackson in this context is far less about him than it is about the millions of people who voted for him a few months later.

I agree with you Lobo. But the post I am responding to gave the impression that racism plays no role at all in opposition to Obama and seems to question whether there really are such things as right wing extremists. They do exist and the racism is out there. And when they loudly oppose everything the President does - even when he takes positions originally offered by Republicans - it's hard to see how racism isn't a factor.
