Election Thread 2008 MAKE SURE YOU VOTE

It just really bothers me that he said something unwise, but not wrong. And most people wouldn't see it that way.

That knee-jerk offense and holier-than-thou attitude that those Fox News people (and surely any news people would do the same) took strikes me as really fake. If Chris Rock had made the same comment, would people care?

But yeah, I'm not really arguing with you. Ha.

I think he is probably really old and comes from a time when such things were ok to say. It probably has a different meaning to him than to young people.

And like I said earlier, everyone better get used to stupid people calling Obama shit like that.

You better believe he is going to get called Uncle Tom, House nigger, and white washed every time he does anything to piss the stereotypical black population off.

If he doesn't delivier the moon, people are going to attack his race.

We've come a long way, but not that long of a way.

there's a pretty big difference between my crazy uncle saying it and a presidential candidate saying and repeating it on TV

[Fe 26]

Edit: Not worth it, I'm not even arguing!

I wonder if people who believe Obama to be a Muslim terrorist will continue to believe that throughout his whole term, living in fear.

Hey guys, wanna see Newsweek's piece on the secrets of the campaign?

Newsweek's journos were afforded unprecedented access to both campaigns on the condition that they weren't to release any information until after the election.

Fun stuff I've read so far:

There is some really fascinating stuff in here. It's really interesting to hear about how reluctant Obama was at first and how it was the old guard and friends of Kennedy that pushed him into it.

Some of the Clinton stuff is interesting too. The part where they talk about Bill Clinton's womanizing as a liability they were all aware of is funny. Apparently they called the plane Bill would travel with his friend Ron Burkle on as "Air Fuck One."

so, anyone else catch the poly speak that equated to "mccain picked palin purely as a political move, not because he thought she would make a good vp" in there?

I did

True, but aren't they all?

Biden was picked to shore up Obama's lack of experience.

Palin was McCain's trump card. She's decent looking, appeals to the White Jesus base, would pull in bitter Hillary Women, and on and on. Great risk, great reward (still doesn't excuse not vetting her, but whatever) and things will be awesome.

Then, she spoke.

[MVS]

And I don't want to defend her--ever--she is a retard, but she's not the one who should get the blame here. McCain agreed to the suggestion to take her, just as he agreed to all the other things he did.

I know the RNC is going to throw it all on her, but they should realize the fault lies not within their star, but within McCain himself.
