I recall watching a 9/11 truther video where they had infiltrated and disrupted a Clinton rally by yelling. But Obama was mentioned and [dem] people were going off about his Muslim stuff. There is that huge Clinton voting block of which he has tried so hard to
As a early20s college student, I can't believe the ignorance of those in my immediate peer group. I honestly believe the Obama support draws so much from subconscious or inner-feelings of racism. The statistics of African American exit polls undeniably points to the most ignorant and racist voting perhaps in American history. But then theres the general 20something middle-class (mostly) white people who, I believe, are the same target audience of Sprite's hip-hop oriented Ads. Black, or hip-hop, culture has got to be one of the most effective selling tools of recent years. Think of how many commercials for flashy new gadgets(eg cellphones), where the younger crowd is the main buyer, that are narrated by a cool, hip black voice.
Anyways, a ton of my friends are Obama people and I think they think deep-down his perceived "blackness" will help us around the world. I think McCain sucks also but man. AND he's more white than black.

Ignorance is something else.

Coudn't agree more

But also the people are at fault. Look I'm in the military and the military is really a melting pot of our entire population.

As a Sgt. I have to educate all these kids that come across, specially the white kids that come from areas that have little or zero diversity and the black kids that also come from this kind of environment with no diversity and let me tell you most of the times is a challenge, and to make it worst I'm Puertorican with a heavy Puertorican accent.

I have learn that no one is born a racist, the environment, the education and the way you are raised gives you those traits. When these kids come to me at first I have to create the environment where they are forced to work with each others so they can forget about those stereotypes and racist views that they have about each other, if that means make them hate ME so be it. But when that system is not in play is up to the individual person to recognize that you have those traits and educate yourself.

It takes sometime for these kids to overcome what the views that they bring when they get to their first duty station and although you still have some racial tension within the military I will venture to say that they are well in the minority if not there would be no chance of our military fighting as a cohesive unit.

But it is a challenge.

These are the angry white americans that cling to their guns and religon, as Obama put it. If you want to attack their education, I think you can fairly attack the public schools because I would gather that they are all prodigies of the public school system. Yes, most of them sound idiotic and racist.

I personally cannot fathom the idea of President Obama, but if it happens, it happens. I'm not going to have a coranary as a result. If that's what the people want, (socialism to the extreme), then that is what they'll get. So long America.

" Calling the sitting presidents a monkey is now an established and valid tradition "

They called Lincoln an ape so nothing new here.

The elitists must be laughing their lazy ss's off at all this because guess what;they have both of these candidates in their pockets so it doesn't matter who you pick. Vote Ron Paul,if at all.

Very true dbates. I had forgotten that until you mentioned it, but you are right, comparing Bush to a chimp was all the rage.

Its a shame to see our elections turned into this sort of mess on both sides.

seabis, I noticed that comment from 'dbates' as well.....I found IT very disturbing, as it came from a Mod.

To be honest, I don't know WHERE I've seen Pres. Bush, the 43rd, compared to a monkey. His intellect has been questioned, and joked about, of course. But so was Carter's and Clinton's....I'm glad you, seabisquit, was able to bring up a gem from another century, an item that can be lost in these vibrant discussions, lest we remember to REMEMBER history...or else we are doomed to repeat it.

At a risk of going slightly off-topic, I considered (and abaandoned) this idea for a thread, because A) we're three weeks away and B) it just seemed too petty, and not worthy of its own thread.....but I included it here, because it amused me.

The Republicans, so fond of 'bashing' European nations that would not go along with the "Nation Building" of the Iraqi Invasion, in 2003....seem blissfully unaware that McCain is flying around on a chartered jet....that was built in France!!! With the slogan 'Country First' prominently displayed.

Yes, I know, I know, McCain is seen exiting and entering two different airplane types....sometimes it's a Boeing, but sometimes it's an Airbus.

(How can I tell??? Because I worked for an airline, and I know the differences, just from seeing the doors)

So far, I've only seen Obama on Boeings.....but since I can't watch 24/7 News...I DO have to eat and sleep...perhaps I missed an instance, and thusly my point would be moot.

(Hint: If you see the INTERIOR of the door, because it swings open 180 degrees, and it's a narrow-body, then it's a Boeing. If the door merely translates forward, when opened.....and you still see the outside of the door, and the exterior paint and the distinctive 3-inch wide paint around the perimeter of the door to denote its location in the event that Airport Fire and Rescue need to ascertain its position.....then it is likely a narrow-body Airbus...(Built, as I've noted, in Toulouse, France!) Oh! And sometimes, the exterior door handle on the Airbus is painted bright red. Boeings are silver.

Well, I guess it is possible that you hadnt seem anything comparing Bush to a chimp, but you must have been pretty under the radar to escape it.

Just google Bush Chimp and you will see plenty.
