Comments on: Obama Campaign Fans "That One" Flames

[john6pack]

John must apologize to avoid being called hypocrite and arrogant, because he made too much fuss about ''lipstick on the pig''.
But that''s not the most important point.
I was leaning McCain until his last bomb shell exploded: ''the treasury should buy all the bad mortgages and give a house to all real estate gamblers''.
John, that is the most socialist approach uttered by any politician in the last decade!
If USA chooses the socialist path, than we better hand it to Obama since he will not make a joke of the conservative principles.
Sorry John, I''m voting with the libertarian Barr.

Correction:
Sorry, I meant some Black people (along with many people of all races)

waterman:
You misunderstand me. I am not saying that Blacks are not supporting Obama; I am just tired of (White) people saying it is only because Obama is Black. I would postulate that he also has a platform that Black people (along with people of all races) agree with. If the Black candidate was a hard-line conservative like Keyes, we would not see the same level of support among Blacks because conservative agendas tend to ignore the race problem and the poverty problem.

For the record, Obama isn''t the youngest candidate ever...JFK was. Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest President in our history: 46 when he assumed the Presidency after McKinley was assassinated.

Thanks for reporting Biden''s comment. Biden makes sense. What McCain is doing is objectifying his opponent. He identifies the person as an object, and therefore less than human. It''s an old trick, and I think it helps McCain overcome any residual scruples he might have about his smear tactics, i.e., if his opponent is less than human then McCain doesn''t have to respect the promises he made to eschew negative campaigning and character assassination.

McCain''s "That One" comment clearly colors his earlier "The One" ad as well as the current attack''s of Gov Palin and his surrogates.

Are you really going to generalize an entire segment of the population based on what eight people are saying?!?

Well said.

waterman:

I seriously doubt blacks are voting strictly on race, no matter what the numbers are. Do you think those numbers would be the same if the Black candidate was Alan Keyes? Me neither.
