More of the same from McCain supporters. This time from Pottsville, Pennsylvania. October 27, 2008.
-
Nothing surpising here, sad to say :-\
-
wow!
-
wow!
If that's new to you, take a stroll through youtube, there are stacks of pertubing videos of this kind.

Can almost guarantee that one guy will get a visit from the Secrete Service...

Best country in the effing world!!
Other countries would kill people that stupid or at least sterilize them.

Considering his skin color is the only reason he got as far as he did are you really surprised people are acting this way?

Wow.

I didn't here one person say anything about that in the video.
Its clear these backwoods, hicks hate him because he's black and they think he's muslim. How tolerant. ::)
These idiots believe anything on tv.

I didn't watch the whole video. Then again I'm sure they would hate him for his skin color regardless.

8) And all the blacks love OBAMA why again ? And for tyhe record the racism seems to be far more the BLACK kind then the WHITE kind in this election !

WTF? What on earth is the BLACK kind? For that matter... what is the WHITE kind?
Racism is racism PERIOD! If you can't figure that much out, maybe you oughtta take a swig from a bottle of arsenic. I'll even let you choose between the BLACK kind, and the WHITE kind... MORON! >:(

So if a black person casts a vote for Obama based solely on the fact that he is a person of color...there is no problem with it?
Yet if a white person makes it known that they wouldn't vote for a black man and support McCain because he is white...they are racist?
“Senator Obama’s numbers are different than anything we have ever seen before among African Americans. In most polls, McCain is losing these African American voters by margins like 97% to 1%.”
Blacks historically have the lowest voter turnout in the country...yet all of a sudden for no apparent reason ::) we see them flooding the polls in record numbers this election.
McCain surely won't win over 95% of the white vote.
So which race of people is the most racially motivated? Numbers don't lie!

You can't lose what you never had to begin with.
By your own theory, all those legions of Black voters who were initially for Clinton were supporting her because, ...her husband Bill was the first Black president? ???

No, ...not for no apparent reason... for a very good reason. It's the same reason why hundreds of thousands of whites who have never bothered to vote, are turning out to vote... for Obama.
Looks like having someone with a background in community organizing has it's advantages doesn't it? ;D
McCain surely won't win over 95% of the white vote.
McCain couldn't even win 95% of anything cause he's an idiot.
So which race of people is the most racially motivated? Numbers don't lie!
Figures don't lie, ...but liars figure!
I have a NEWSFLASH for you... if this election was between Bill Clinton & Flava Flav, Clinton would probably get 99% of the total vote (black & white), ...would that make white voters racists? Would that make Black voters 'Uncle Toms'? If you could pull your head from up out of your anatomy long enough to examine both candidates, you'd know why people are voting Obama in such record numbers.
btw - It doesn't matter if the entire Black population voted for Obama, it wouldn't matter, ...their numbers are so relatively small, and their votes frequently tossed anyway. The real difference this election will be white voters, ...and they're flocking to Obama in droves. Deal with it!

Blacks are traditionally democrats to begin with, just like the the rednecks are traditionally republican. But people seem to jump to 'race' as the sole factor in this election. Could it be because he's a smart, eloquent man who will represent America well?
How sad is it when eloquence and intelligence are considered bad traits to be president.

No.
He's black.
If he were a right to life, war hero, billionaire, super model banging, MMA champion, 2 NASCAR championship winning, and walked on water people would still find a reason to pick him apart.
Often, criticisms are often more about cultural norms being violated than facts.
Jesus did miracles and was even God's son... people still didn't like him. :)

The black turn out in this election is historic. If you cant put the 2 together, I am suprised you remember to breathe.
But only white people can be racist, no way can black people be racist.

You're kidding, right?
White people don't have a monopoly on racism. :)

Your reading comprehension skills are awful! Obviously I never mentioned McCain losing a contingent of voters he never had in the first place...the point illustarted is the never before seen disparity of these African American voters supporting Obama by margins like 97% to 1%.
By your own theory, all those legions of Black voters who were initially for Clinton were supporting her because, ...her husband Bill was the first Black president? ???
No...my theory is that the number of black Clinton supporters pales in comparison to the number of blacks that will turn out for Obama. Why do you think they suddenly have an interest like never before?
No, ...not for no apparent reason... for a very good reason. It's the same reason why hundreds of thousands of whites who have never bothered to vote, are turning out to vote... for Obama.
No doubt there will be record turnout across the board in this election, but again you miss the point. McCain will win the white vote by a much smaller margin than Obama wins the black vote. Race is their biggest motivating factor.
Looks like having someone with a background in community organizing has it's advantages doesn't it? ;D
McCain couldn't even win 95% of anything cause he's an idiot.
The election will be much closer than you think.

Is that a serious analogy? We don't have a clown vs a real candidate in this race...we have two qualified candidates battling one another. There is a huge difference! Your scenario outlined above would only indicate that people had common sense.
btw - It doesn't matter if the entire Black population voted for Obama, it wouldn't matter, ...their numbers are so relatively small, and their votes frequently tossed anyway. The real difference this election will be white voters, ...and they're flocking to Obama in droves. Deal with it!
Exactly whites are voting for Obama at a rate that more closely resembles the National Rate because they feel he is the best candidate.
While blacks are voting for Obama at a rate never seen before.
You can't figure out why that is?
-
im not racist but i really dont want a black guy running this country either. black guy or mccain, what a joke.

Have we not had smart eloquent men run for President before? Why wasn't the black population flocking to support them in such numbers?

GW Bush wasn't exactly 'smart.' Dole was okay but Clinton was just too much for him. Who else? I'm pretty sure Reagan had a lot of Black votes. Not to sure about GHW Bush but he was a Yale grad.

Maybe I'm just stupid, ...because I don't think that way. I don't see colour or race, ...except when in the States.
Quite often people are required to "remind me" about race, ...except when I encounter the occasional model of the caricatured stereotype, and the only time I encounter those is south of the border.
I won't deny that there will probably be those who will vote for him because he's Black, ...just as I'm sure there will be those who will vote McCain, just because he's white. That being said, ...get over it. It's not a big enough factor to make a difference in Obama's favour, ...if anything, votes cast purely along racial lines hurts Obama.
Why can't you people simply acknowledge Obama has a better message that speaks to alot more people?
It's pretty clear he is a breath of fresh air over the crap you've had for the past 8 years.
-

You're missing the point and ignoring indisputable facts.....
Take the names out of the equation and just look at the numbers. This election will see the highest black voter turnout, as well as the largest disparity of a single ethnic groups vote with Obama winning 97% + of the black vote.
You can't argue that Obama is a better candidate than Bill Clinton.
So what is the reason for this meteoric rise in turnout and support?
What is the only variable that has changed?
The answer is the color of one candidates skin!

hilary Clinton would be cleaning McCain's clock by a much wider margin right now.
All those poor hilbilly racist whites who hate obama cause he's black - many of them would vote Hilary in a minute. And hilary would still get 90+% of the african-american vote.
hilary should have won the nomination. She would be much further ahead than obama right now.

Maybe I'm just stupid, ...because I don't think that way.
It's not about how you think! Your stupid if you're going to argue facts that can't be debated...whites are voting for Obama at a rate that more closely resembles the National Rate because they feel he is the best candidate.
While blacks are voting for Obama at a rate never seen before.

If you think hundreds of thousands of black votes that were never cast before, which are now coming into play in major swing states is not a big factor for Obama...you're insane.
It's the very reason he created an aggressive push to register black voters using text messaging, ads on hip-hop radio stations and Internet videos using popular stars and free concerts, the Obama team is turning to the next task: making sure that black voters show up on Election Day in bigger numbers than ever before. The campaign is going to places of worship and beauty salons in the urban centers of swing states in an effort to convince black citizens that their votes can make a difference.
Why can't you people simply acknowledge Obama has a better message that speaks to alot more people?
It's pretty clear he is a breath of fresh air over the crap you've had for the past 8 years.
I never said he wasn't a breath of fresh air or didn't have a better message....your missing the entire point!

You are also missing the POINT!
The very reason Clinton lost to Obama illustrates exactly what I'm talking about....
According to the DNC (Democratic National Committee), Black voter turnout reached a highpoint in the 2008 primaries. Certainly, the uniqueness of the candidates bolstered this turnout. In South Carolina 48% of all primary voters was African American. Georgia saw an 85% increase in Black voters from 2004. Likewise, around the nation a boom in Black turnout was evident.
If these primary statistics are any indication of voting patterns in the 2008 presidential election, Democrats have a lot to be optimistic about. In addition to the party faithful, they can expect an infusion of new voters that will certainly enhance their chances for securing the White House

Yes. A lot more black people showed up to vote, so they could vote Obama.
Also, a lot of white people voted in primaries, and will vote McCain, specifically because they don't want a black leader.
I don't understand being upset why some black people prefer a black candidate. There are literally millions of Clinton/Gore/Kerry voters who are going to check 'mccain' this time, simply because of obama's skin color. They knew they didnt like him in 1961. ;)
Fact of the matter is, there are a lot of idiot voters who only vote for a candidate for stupid reasons. A lot of idiots will only vote 'mccain' because palin has a vagina. A lot of vets will only vote mccain because obama didn't serve. A lot of bible thumpers will vote mccain because their pastor told them to.
A lot of people vote for stupid reasons, not just race.

No, ...YOUR answer is the color of one candidate's skin.
Are Blacks supposed to be somehow immune to Obama?
I say the meteoric rise in turnout and support has to do with the very same stuff that causes him to have the turnouts he has in Berlin, Oregon and Denver etc., etc., etc Why are white people getting behind him like never before? Why are Republicans rallying to him, endorsing him, Why are Republican newspapers who've never in their history endorsed a Democrat, doing so, over McCain? The fact is, he has that certain 'je ne sais quoi', ...the kind the energizes people, ...and gives Chris Matthews a tingle up his leg. :P
Trust me when I tell you, ...if being Black had that much power in it, we'd have seen a lot more Black people running for President before now.

Pretty much plus she's more qualified, christ my dog is more qualified then Obama.

White people and certain Republicans are rallying behind Obama because McCain is a shitty conservative and they hate the Bush Administration.
That doesn't change the fact that the black vote caused Obama to beat Clinton in the primaries.

I'd expand that to the entire middle east as well. He's very smart, fuzzy, protects the house, shakes.....great dog.

8) And all the blacks love OBAMA why again ? And for tyhe record the racism seems to be far more the BLACK kind then the WHITE kind in this election !
All blacks dont. My best friends parents hate him and they are black. They think hes the anti-christ.

You refuse to acknowledge fact!
You confuse your opinion with indisputable fact!
Identity is a basic point of division....
Blacks split evenly, 45-46 percent, on whether they think of themselves first as blacks or as Americans .
Whites are different: Ninety-one percent see themselves first as Americans, while just 4 percent profess greater racial than national identity.
There are three states in which early voting has already exceeded its totals from 2004. These are Georgia, where early voting is already at 180 percent of its 2004 total, Louisiana (169 percent), and North Carolina (129 percent).
What do those three states have in common?
The African-American population share is the key determinant of early voting behavior. In states where there are a lot of black voters, early voting is way, way up. In states with fewer African-Americans, the rates of early voting are relatively normal.
Obama used an aggressive push to register black voters using text messaging, ads on hip-hop radio stations and Internet videos using popular stars and free concerts, the Obama team is turning to the next task: making sure that black voters show up on Election Day in bigger numbers than ever before. The campaign is going to places of worship and beauty salons in the urban centers of swing states in an effort to convince black citizens that their votes can make a difference.

Obama will pick up more points on election day....and no other race in this country will illustrate such a lopsided disparity and that is a FACT!
-
More of the same from McCain supporters. This time from Pottsville, Pennsylvania. October 27, 2008.
Yes,but having a Sarah Palin manaquin hanging from a noose is being a great American.You people are unreal.Alcie Hastings and John Lewis use the race card[and as dumb as you can use it]and its fine.Some nut a rally says dsomething dumb and its the end of the country.
-
White people and certain Republicans are rallying behind Obama because McCain is a shitty conservative and they hate the Bush Administration.
pssst, and you don't think Black people noticed that over the past 8 years?
I think also Greg Palast summed it up pretty good when he said a few years ago "If they're gonna steal 5 million votes, ...we'll just make sure to send 30 million extra voters to the polls" ...or something to that effect.
That doesn't change the fact that the black vote caused Obama to beat Clinton in the primaries.
It was Iowa that really turned it for him, ...how many Black people are there in Iowa? ???

I'd expand that to the entire middle east as well. He's very smart, fuzzy, protects the house, shakes.....great dog.
LMAO... Have you voted absentee yet? I think I recall your state is a Kerry state anyway.

In that video I seen a bunch of racist redknecks.They dont like Obama because he is black.The reality of this is Obama is only half black, & half white, so do they only hate half of him? Why should skin color really matter anyways?
People are people, I dont a man by his skin color, but by his actions, and the way he speaks.
For you racist people out there, your entitled to your beliefs but remember this is the year 2008, not the 1700's.
For all you black people voting for Obama voting for Obama because he is black remember he is half white.
So he isnt black or white, he is both.I wish people would vote for canidates by what they stand for, and what they are willing do do for our country, instead, hating a person because they are half black, or because they are old.
Stick to the facts people, vote for a canidate because you beleive in what they have to offer.
At this point our economy is going down the tubes, and all these rednecks in this video are concenred about is a mans skin color????? What if this half black turned out to be a really great president? What if he could fix the economy, and end the war Iraq, and create peace amongst nations? I am not picking sides here, but if your going to vote for canidate, or not support a canidate, there should be alot better reason then ,because he is half black.Come on people.Disliking a person because of there skin color is plain ignorant.People are people.There is black trash, and there is white trash, there are good black people, and there are good white people.God loves us all equally

So what you're saying is that Obama not only asked for peoples votes, ...but he acted in a way that told them he deserved it, ...not as so many other candidates have done in the past, ignoring entire segments of the population?
Wake Up! Obama is speaking to people, ...he is connecting to people and inspired the future of America in a way that no other politician has since Kennedy.
He's the right man for the right job... whether you want to admit it or not!
Here's a poem written by an Obama supporter, within it you might find a clue or two :-\
people say Obama's words are just words...
but...
when was the last time "words" weren't important...???...
when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??...
when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?...
when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?...
and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear...
Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around...
terror this...
terror that...
nuclear here...
weapons of mass destruction there...
and those words effected a lot of people's choices...
"enough is enough"...
let's rebuild...
let's change ourselves...
let's allow positivity to guide us...
let's take action....
let's activate our passion...
we are Americans....
and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"...
some say this is all excitement...
I call it "proud to be an American"...
some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"...
well...
if it comes across cult like...
then...
the cult is called America...
the Obama movement is connecting America.
and it has made "US" realize our importance...
the youth is excited and activated...
adults are passionate and motivated...
the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands...
we are one...
for too long politics has been corrupt...
separate from the American people...
with agendas that go against what the American people "need"...
education...
health...
safety...
jobs
etc...
politicians have spoken a different language...
making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people...
making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice...
making "US" feel powerless...
making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything...
but wait...
that did happen...
some of us voted, and it didn't change anything...
we were in the dark...
we had no voice...
we were powerless...
because America was not a united America...
and "they" spoke a different language...
and they had an agenda different from our well being...
correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something...
we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???...
oh yeah...
and "a healthy planet to live on"...
but here we are...
in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted...
the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling...
with sky high gas prices to top it all off...
and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down...
in our slumber... a very small few got really rich...
because when you're sleeping...
"it's hard to change agendas"...
we know what happened in 2000 and 2004...
but in 2008...
it's different...
we are awake...
and there is a movement...
and "it's hard to change a movement"...
last time "we" didn't have a movement...
America wasn't united...
and now "United and "Standing"...for something...
we know the power of "US"...
and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...
"US"...
"we are the ones we've been waiting for"...
-
All blacks dont. My best friends parents hate him and they are black. They think hes the anti-christ.
Then they should be happy to see him, ...because the anti-christ's presence on the scene only means that jeebus will be arriving soon.
-
I got through about 2 min of the video before being too disgusted to continue. You can see the type of people we are dealing with here. Several obviously ignorant backwoods racists. Thankfully, I don't know people like this. Idiots like this still keep racism alive when most of us have moved passed this ignorance. All I can say is that there are stupid people everywhere, but we can't always generalize to a larger group (ie "McCain supporters"...these few on video are....special...possibl y even mildly mentally retarded)
Same with those f-ck nut skinheads that wanted to assassinate Obama who they arrested earlier this week. Just when you think America has passed this historical ignorance, a few show up to remind us.
Anyway, its not wise to respond with anger, misguided hatred and blame but with collective condemnation and pitty...

So what you're saying is that Obama not only asked for peoples votes, ...but he acted in a way that told them he deserved it, ...not as so many other candidates have done in the past, ignoring entire segments of the population?
How do I respond to this, all candidates are asking for votes...this has nothing to do with my point.
Wake Up! Obama is speaking to people, ...he is connecting to people and inspired the future of America in a way that no other politician has since Kennedy.
I'd say he is inspiring about 49% (dk margin of error) of the registered voters in this country...maybe he inspires very few and people are just sick of the last 8 years and the situation this country is in.
He's the right man for the right job... whether you want to admit it or not!
I'm not denying or questioning it
F'ING A MAN WHAT DON'T YOU GET............
In this country we are seeing the level of black voter turnout rise nearly 200%....THE BIGGEST REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK!
It's almost as if you read at a 2nd grade level.

again.........
Identity is a basic point of division....
Blacks split evenly, 45-46 percent, on whether they think of themselves first as blacks or as Americans .
Whites are different: Ninety-one percent see themselves first as Americans, while just 4 percent profess greater racial than national identity.
There are three states in which early voting has already exceeded its totals from 2004. These are Georgia, where early voting is already at 180 percent of its 2004 total, Louisiana (169 percent), and North Carolina (129 percent).
What do those three states have in common?
The African-American population share is the key determinant of early voting behavior. In states where there are a lot of black voters, early voting is way, way up. In states with fewer African-Americans, the rates of early voting are relatively normal.

Text messaging is the only way to reach some people. :)

Then they should be happy to see him, ...because the anti-christ's presence on the scene only means that jeebus will be arriving soon.
no doubt..these bible beaters crack me up..like if he was the anti Christ not voting for him would make a difference.

A lot of the black bible beaters will be voting for McCain on Israel and abortion.

Also "he's not really an African American" to many. There are people complaining about not being able to vote for what they consider a real black man. :)
Either people posting here don't get out much or assume all blacks speak/think/look the same. Coincidentally being black, it's a little funny that people have already decided how I should vote. I do find the idea that black people are too stupid to make an educated vote beyond candidate color especially. :)
IMO, This election is far from over.
