I disagree. That is like saying, that since they called Bush a "Good Ol Boy" that we can freely call Obama "Boy", completely ignoring the racial implications.

Like it or not, calling Obama a monkey is different than calling Bush a monkey. One is being critical of intelligence and one is being critical of race. I am not defending people who call Bush a monkey. It is wrong on both counts, but you are kidding yourself if you think that it carries the same implications in both cases.



So it's ok to make fun of someones intelligence whether they are dumb or not?

Ok pal, I've got your number. Nice try!

I posted this in another thread and going to do it here as well because I think is relevant to the topic:

I think that you need to understand what's in the mind of a person that thinks that Obama is a terrorrist or a traitor.

Since there is definately no evidence to support that you have to understand that this people are either straight up racist, ethnophobic's or BOTH.

Take a look at these videos:
Obama the arab


Obama the terrorist


Obama should be killed


The racism and ethnophobia is real, that was the same kind of sentiment that a considerable portion of citizens in this country would give to someone that was either from japanese or german decent during WW2, the same kind of sentiment towards blacks during the Civil Rights era, the same kind of sentiment towards anyone that would be linked to communism during the Cold War years, is the same kind of sentiment towards Arabs and muslims.

IMO who ever calls Obama a terrorist or a traitor do it out of these two, there is no other way around it, they might try to explain or excuse themselves as to why , but when pressed with the facts you can see and sense that there is no other reason than minds that are full of bigotry, racism, ethnophobic thoughts.

Let them be...this country in 20 or 30 years is going to be a very different country, a country where the monirities are going to rule and people with these kind of minds are going to slowly die and dissapear and then maybe 100 years from that date we are going to look back at this people and compare them with neanthertals in the sense that not because they had a brain it meant that were fully capable to understand certain things.

And I will also add, I dont think all republicans are racist, there are republicans who simply won't vote for a democrat simply because the ideals of both parties are so different. They simply wont vote for a democrat, EVEN when they call Obama a socialist and turn a blind eye to George Bush nationalization of the financial industry and John McCain plan of socializing the losses of Wall St firms at a tune of 300 BILLION dollars, BUT NO, thats not SOCIALISM, they only way it would be that is if a democrat proposes it. Thats the kind of mindset of someone who would not vote for a democrat because of the ideals, and we have lots of those too, specially on these boards.

The way the US Electoral College is set up, manipulating the Electoral votes is not beyond the realm of possibility. A stalemate could easily happen, assuming there isn't a terrorist attack that will lead to a postponement or cancellation of the elections.

It would be really tough. 38 out of the 50 states electorates have laws that say they MUST cast votes for the popular vote. It's traditional for the electorates in the other states to cast votes for the popular choice as well, though as we saw in the 2000 election, it's not unheard of that it won't happen that way.

The only time that it has the potential to do the candidates a great disservice is when the popular vote difference is razor thin, again as we saw in 2000.

I am white (German/Norwegian) and the "whites" in these videos do not represent me. They are uneducated bigots who probably think the Earth is 6000 years old. I am voting for Obama because he actually has something to say and a message I can get behind.
