- palewook, on 07/23/2008, -11/+37Look, I could not care what color, sex, or religion a candidate is. I'd happily vote for anyone that wasn't whoring the Constitution to make a buck. The problem is Washington D.C. is infested with them.
Obama had my vote, until he backed the FISA Act of 2008.
Now he does not and it has nothing to do with how he looks. Rather it has to do with, how he votes. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -24/+37I love how it's always a white guy writing about stuff like this and abortion... something they could not possibly even remotely relate to.
- datastorageguy, on 07/23/2008, -23/+34Thinkprogress, Huffington post, DailyKos, and every other ridiculous left wing "news" source wants us all to believe that ANY criticism of Barack Obama equates to racism. Just wait for more posts about how "racist" someone is, or some news organization is, for their criticism of Obama.
This is a dangerous precedence. To think otherwise requires serious intellectual dishonesty. - TheG2, on 07/23/2008, -9/+20As a liberal-independent I refuse to read articles from those sites because of exactly what you stated. They're the left wing equivalent of FoxNews.
- innocentsinner, on 07/23/2008, -2/+13Yea, because Digg -never- bashes Jesse Jackson
- elemming, on 07/23/2008, -15/+26Sailor is a well-documented white supremacist who often shows up behind some of the more conservative postings on race in America. CNN an example of why there isn't really a liberal media in this country.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -13/+23Jesse Jackson called him a *****. Nobody cares on digg. Diggers are all smoking the hope dope.
- diggerpleez, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11“So many whites want to be able to say, ‘I’m not one of them, those bad whites. … Hey, I voted for a black guy for president,’ ” Sailer wrote.
How is that a racist statement? It sounds more like an indictment against white people. - endgame, on 07/23/2008, -4/+12I wish I could Digg your comment a thousand times Palewook. The problem is about 90% of the people voting for Obama are voting based upon what he says & not his voting record. People see him as some kind of messiah but slowly that is falling away too.
- hifiDesign, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9I think Babblin5's point was that a *guy* writing about abortion is quite a bit different than a woman who has had one.
/ pedantic comment - coyote1284, on 07/23/2008, -5/+12***** Fox Ne... huh? This is from CNN?
- Dundasbro, on 07/23/2008, -10/+16Uh-oh, you went against Obamamania...
- macmax, on 07/23/2008, -13/+19Could _______ be a problem for Obama with _________.
This is the MSM's media's 8 year old mentality. Apparently they have not figured out that this formula isnt news, its propaganda for the racial tension that obviously still plagues our society and keeps it from being a truly "United" States of America.
These articles suck, they just make me more and more disappointed in America ... but I have Hope that Barack Obama will triumph this and prove their writers, editors, and employers all deserving of unemployment. - richiewrt, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Yeah, cause everyone knows that blacks, jews, and mexicans are never violent.
/sar - rmmcclay, on 07/23/2008, -9/+14So conversely is this saying McCain is good for blacks? lol
- aadyss, on 07/23/2008, -2/+7But I thought he was a 'different' type of politician. So he's playing the game after all.
- gn0stik, on 07/23/2008, -2/+6And there's plenty of that around here. These sites wouldn't exist without digg being here to prop them up. Some are so bad, that I sometimes think that I'm reading satire before I realize that the article is trying to be serious(daily kettle of *****). The others are just stupid for the most part.
- gn0stik, on 07/23/2008, -2/+6CNN is the most balanced of the three big ones with Fox being the worst on the conservative side, and msnbc on the liberal side. This guy is one pundit, first of all, and not even a popular one. Second, his comments that I saw, were assumptive and projective, and stupid, but not racist. They were more an attack on poverty and the Obama families lack of connection with African Americans due to their affluence, than racist. Also, consider the source. Thinkprogress is a perfect example of your liberal media in this country.
- detokaal, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5This is a legitimate issue. Even civil rights leaders don't like him because he is not "black" enough. For those of you unfamiliar with the African American community, here is a primer:
1. Black Americans and children of Africans are not the same social status
2. Mixed heritage is lower status than having two black parents
3. Being educated at ivy league schools and speaking "white" gives you 2 strikes
http://tiny.cc/UORW3 - Regbooker, on 07/23/2008, -6/+10So, you are saying that Whites are so insensible that we aren't capable of projecting ourselves into other peoples situations and problems, be those problems demographic, economical or circumstantial. You are the racist here pal.
- mister23, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3thats exactly the problem- the news is supposed to be reported objectively and not "created from scratch".
the reason most news outlets are so ***** is because they present this created from scratch punditry as if it were actually news, and not just someone's opinion. - ajwinder, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Wow, I must be reading different sites, I'm not sure of the last time DailyKos ran a huge front page article over some ridiculous strained example of racism.
However, that is to ignore that the CNN article was absolutely ridiculous. Essentially because it ignored the fact that allowing minorities access to the presidency was in the best interests of progress. I mean, it was an intellectually devoid argument, and yeah, he should be slammed for writing it. Even more CNN for publishing it, because if you can't even filter out garbage, you have no place being a large media outlet. - govsucks, on 07/23/2008, -5/+8Aside from being a collectivist, I can't think of ONE SINGLE THING that Obama could do to make the situation worse for black people. I think that black youth seeing a well spoken, well dressed black man who takes care of his family and is well on his way to becoming president would be a good thing and will encourage young kids to do something besides gang bang and act like idiots that can't figure out the technology called "belt"
We have far more to worry about from Obamas anti-individual collectivist policies.He is far more of a threat to liberty than black culture. - Oracle95, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3They will if he loses, then it'll be "Rodney King" all over again when they insist the "whitey stole their election"
- MWeather, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Christian Science Monitor is good, though they don't publish often enough to be a primary news source.
- beanphoner, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3If you read the amendment you'll see that the warrant doesn't have to be supplied until 7 days after the search. So at that point, the judge isn't deciding whether the search of a house is warranted, but whether or not to get their own department in trouble. Conflict of interest...
- Rustiga, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Has anyone actually read the article? All the author is really saying, is that certain majority figures in the past and present have used the fact that some black people make something for themselves and that they represent EVERY black person in America, it's not racist at all.
- rlh1, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Lincoln ?
Johnson ?
Truman ?
Eisenhower ? - cheekybastard, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Yeah whatever, just stay out of airport bathrooms senator Craig.
- jameskong15, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3I love it when black people write about how easy they think it is to be a white guy... something they could not possibly even remotely relate to.
- MacEnvy, on 07/23/2008, -4/+7Are you saying that no one on the left has been in the military? That's a dangerously ignorant statement.
Jim Webb would put his boot up your ass if he heard you talking like that. - ajwinder, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Hes really not. The level to which McCain has screwed up is astronomical. They've got a love affair with keeping this race close, because if it had been objectively, and fairly, covered, McCain would not having a shot in hell right now.
- JettaMan, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Yeah, because Obama is having such a hard time with the press. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Obama has been treated like the golden boy by the mainstream media since he entered the race. It became so ridiculous at one point... remember that SNL sketch "Mr. Obama... can I get you anything?" Geeze, what color is the sky in your world anyway?
- ramiro, on 07/23/2008, -6/+8BURIED: Leftist brainwashing propaganda.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Yes, we're only allowed to speculate on how an Obama presidency could be good for black Americans. Any other kind of speculation is racist. Much like anyone not planning to vote for Obama must be racist. Because anything that doesn't directly support Obama is racist.
- OralCavity, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4he is correct and you are pompous to think that you can understand someone under such completely different circumstances.
- semvhu, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2#1 This article wasn't about abortion.
#2 Saying that a man can't relate to abortion is pathetically naive. Ever heard of a woman having an abortion without the man's consent?
Comment buried. - Temo1, on 07/23/2008, -4/+6The quote was one of many quotes in the piece, which attempts to show all sides of the arguement. Many of the other quotes supporting a similiar position come from African Americans, so those of you who have a problem with a white guy's take on the situation (First comment in the thread) can look at those as well.
I don't think the use of the quote was unfair or irresponsible, considering the 2 paragraphs out of 15 or so it took up in the piece, and the other sides of the arguement that it presented. - Hetman, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3If acting like an educated well spoken human being is wrong. I do not want to be right.
- insanebrain, on 07/23/2008, -5/+7Better than praying for war because 'its good for the economy'
- ZenMojo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2I believe we are observing "truthiness" as applied to peoples' opinions of the blogosphere.
- MWeather, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Not as a rule, just as a consequence of our easily misled voters. You'd think for a nation so distrustful of politicians, we wouldn't be so gullible.
- arkanebeats, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2You obviously DON'T get it.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Buried because your comment has the grammar of McCain's editorial.
- ephekt, on 07/23/2008, -2/+3HOPE AND CHANGE + illegal wiretaps WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Obama is a horrible candidate, the idiot moonbats just can't see it. - eddie72, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Can you not read the article above? Are you vision impaired?
- jameskong15, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1That says a lot about the black community and old civil rights guard then.
- ZenMojo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1So we should bash Barack Obama because Jesse Jackson dropped an N-bomb in reference to him?
Thanks. I keep forgetting that Jesse Jackson is our black leader, so thanks for reaffirming his position, "Mr. White Guy using the N-word." - bsmang, on 07/23/2008, -2/+3Why should we care about Jesse Jackson?
- MWeather, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2I thought the legal standard was the one drop rule.
