Obama should try to keep race out of the picture. He can''t win that argument. Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans are all competing for a piece of the pie. They work hard and struggle to get something and keep it. About 10% percent of whites dislike blacks. About 70% of whites don''t care one way or the other, about 20% really favor them. That 20% is mostly white women who won''t vote because the whole concept of politics is beyond their understanding. The US is about 10 to 12% black, 60% white, 30% others. Obama can''t win on race.

Several weeks ago, I watched a black commentator criticizing a McCain campaign ad that showed clips of Barack Obama near the Washington Monument and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Clearly, he was claiming, this was a racist allusion to the alleged enormous size of an African-American''s erect p-e-n-i-s, so there was a hidden message to all white "folks" that they`d have to lock up their daughters if Obama is elected President.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Let me try to be intellectually honest here... this article is a bunch of ***.

And BTW, regarding McCain: there is a difference between bravery and heroism.

Thank you.

IF Obama loses, I think it will be because of other things then race.

If he does lose, I hope it is not a close race or else I fear there will be he*l to pay.

As the National Review knows full well any discussion of race hurts Obama.

Obama could come out and sing Garritt Morris'' song, "I''m going to get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see", and still get elected.

This spectacle is grotesque. It reveals how little the supposedly objective press corps thinks of the American people - and how highly they think of themselves ... and Obama. Obama%u2019s lack of experience, his doctrinaire liberalism, his record, his known associations with Weatherman radical William Ayers and the hate-mongering Rev. Jeremiah Wright: These cannot possibly be legitimate motivations to vote against Obama, in this view.


Goldberg, you ***, you wrote the ugliness above. To link Obama with Ayers is hardly fair. That is resorting to the worst distortions of this campaign and you know it. If you had any credibility to lose you would definitaly have lost it here.

lawyertom-Oh, so Bush is a coke snorter. And your messiah is WHAT???? Guess it''s ok for the messiah to do blow, drink and Lord knows what but, that''s ok.
So, lawyer, you need to explain, and you can use lawyerese double speak as to what the difference is. Come on, closing arguments.

So far the only people using race are your msm and the messiah. Gotta love those little sound bites "they want you fear me because I have a funny name and I don''t look like those guys on money, yada, yada, yada". Point to ONE time the Republican''s pulled out your race card, just one time. During the primaries the clinton camp used race all the time.
Race Card, race card, race card.
