60% of White Republican Iowans Vote For Black Man, Two Hispanics

[OzmO]

Is there a point in there somewhere??   

Should i "highlight" it for you?

Highlight what you just posted?  No. Explain your point?  Yes. 

[Straw Man]

You sound like Chris Mathews and Bill Richardson who said Cruz isn't Hispanic enough.  

Nobody is talking about pulling a certain ethnic vote.  The issue is the MSM and liberal hypocrisy when it comes to candidates and officeholders.  

great point Bum

It's not like the MSM ever asked if Obama was "black enough"

Sure, I mean Steve Kroft asked it on 60 minutes but no one watches that

http://www.cjr.org/politics/is_obama_black_enough.php

Kroft isn’t the first journalist to ask, implicitly or not, whether Obama is black enough. A Los Angeles Times editorial on Tuesday asked “is Obama really black?”, while New York Daily News columnist Stanley Crouch asserted in November that “other than color, Obama did not — does not — share a heritage with the majority of black Americans, who are descendants of plantation slaves … So when black Americans refer to Obama as ‘one of us,’ I do not know what they are talking about.”    

     

We could actually fill pages of this thread with links to journalists (and whatever Faux News is supposed to be) asking that question      

funny how he was not black enough yet at the same time the right wing said people only voted for him because he was black (you only need to search this board to see that statement over and over)

They also called him an elitist because he went to Harvard (again, you can search this board and find that comment) but I don't recall Dems making that claim about Cruz (though maybe they have and I missed it) but it was CONSTANT with Repubs saying that about Obama.

We can go on and on but the point about Iowa is that 60% of the fundies voted for the 3 fundie candidates and the other 40% of the electorate voted for the rest of the pack (with Trump getting most of it)

lol you know exactly what i am talking about.

lol you know exactly what i am talking about.

I suspect I do, but I'm actually hoping you're not making the incredibly dumb point I think you're trying to make.

What would that be?   

[Dos Equis]

What would that be?   

That the article only references the Washington MSM, so somehow the point is restricted to D.C.

But you're too smart to be making such a myopic point, right?

This is why sometimes mulititasking at work isn't good when at the same time going back and forth on this forum.

I got it in my head somehow that when you referenced MSM you were referencing msnbc and i then ran with it. lol

So when i said: "I don't watch, read or listen to MSM at all"  I was meaning msnbc.  I watch, read and listen to mostly CNN and sometimes FOX, Drudge, and BBC.

When i asked where does the article "highlight" MSM, i was thinking you were saying the article was talking specifically about MSNBC.  lol

So ya, that was very dumb...... of me heheheheheehehe

I still stand by the point i was making about the MSM catering to their viewers and that crying about it is dumb.

Also, Cruz doesn't come across as Hispanic.  He comes across a white a guy.

the bottom line is, if a Hispanic candidate had just won the Iowa caucus or any other state for the first time in American history and they had a 'D' next to their name, it would be a big media story. period. you all know they would be fawning over it, there would be tons of headline pictures with him smiling,waving with his family, etc..

but its Cruz, so the media has COMPLETELY IGNORED this historical first. its a blatant double standard and everyone knows it.

I don't disagree.  And there is a good argument for a double standard.   But we are still left with the pesky fact that he doesn't look or sound Hispanic.

I disagree

a black guy won it in 2008 and also won the sate in the 2008 election

the right wingers on this board routinely said that Dems only voted for Obama because he was black due to some kind of white guilt

I mean what other reason could there have been right..it had to be his race

I guess that's the reason why white Ioanan's voted for a pasty/doughy white Canadian hispanic this year

Oh yeah and a woman won it this year for the Dems.  Where's the media heralding that historic first?

Good Point.  Maybe because in both instances no one really cares.

Mabye it's because it's not about race or gender

[OzmO]

Why isnt Fair and Balanced FOX headlining the first female to win?

It proves they are gender discriminating.
