All this thread is the Republicans continuing to flap their gums because the Negro got elected.
Strangely, the only people I know that ever bring up race in regards to the president are democrats. The rest of us don’t give fuck-all about it.
Totally Man! Especially on this website just before the election.
And then there’s this guy:
Right, because the first place I look for political commentary is fucking youtube. I can’t form my opinions on current affairs if I don’t see at least one youtube video on the subject first.
And as far as this website goes, you must be kidding me. I heard nothing, not one post about the man being unfit for POTUS because he was black. Fuck, even the nutjobs weren’t saying he was unfit for duty because of his race, it was his (supposed) RELIGION they were up in arms about.
Goal posts move much? How did “bring up race in regards to the president” become “the man being unfit for POTUS because he was black” ?
But even using your new standard, we have this gem from another current thread:
“I think people were so pissed and upset, they really didnt care if the idea of a black president was bad. I think people were willing to take the chance, because after all, what could have been worse than Bush.”
I’m sure this poster was a dem though.
And btw, the youtube clip was a guy named “Rush”…I think he might be a “non-democrat” that “[brought] up race in regards to the president” [/quote]
I don’t understand your complaining. No hispanics ran for office. 99.99% of the time race is brought up, it concerns in some way the African-American and the Caucasian. Besides which the only reason I can think of to bring up race in a negative aspect regarding the president is to claim that that person is unfit to be POTUS by fact of his/her race. So what I wrote was consistent.
I don’t know what thread that quote is from, haven’t read it.
I said two things: “the only people I KNOW” to bring up race are dems, and “on this website”. Rush is neither one of those, and I don’t listen to him. Perhaps I should have been clearer and stated that this was direct personal experience I was talking about. Either way, I don’t hear any national media presence like Garafalo getting up on the other side of the fence and saying something like what she said about the tea party goers. I suppose Rush might fit that bill, but once again I don’t listen to him and so am unaware of that comment.
