Personally, I think THEY are the ignorant ones…..color be damned. But that’s just my opinion. Reckon I’m a deep South redneck bog dweller.

Good post, Ken.

Since you mentioned Ralph Nader - he really showed some class on Tuesday night, didn’t he?

Gee, I just wish that if I’m gonna be called a racist anyway for my vote for McCain, that he’d won!

I didn’t vote for Gore. I didn’t vote for Kerry. Both of those because I was stupid.

I didn’t vote for Obama ’cause of his close relationship to a domestic terrorist, the white.america-hating racist church he attended for 20 years, his toasting of anti-Israel PLO spokesperson, his anti-war stance, his socialist “spread the wealth” leanings, the list goes on.

I’m quite sure that if Hillary had won the Dem nomination, I wouldn’t have voted for her either. Shall I list those too? Good thing she didn’t get the nomination cause I’d be a chauvinist.

Funny, if Condi Rice ran on the Republican ticket I’d vote for her. What does that make me?

Pity the poor, Deep South, and that includes our great state of Tennessee, along with Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana…

But screw the gays, I take it? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/11/70-of-african-a.html

Don’t mind Bositis, he’s just jockying for Obama’s upcoming Diversity and Multicultural Affairs cabinet position soon to be created.

It reminds me of the classic King of the Hill episode when Khan moved in next door. Anyone who knows the show knows that Khan is a Laotian who is also really obnoxious toward the other characters. At one pont, after Khan had insulted Hank’s dog, Peggy tries to convince Hank to go to an event with them.

“Hank: uh uh, Peggy I can’t go I won’t not after what he said about Ladybird.

“Peggy: Oh, Hank come on. Now Minh, and I just made up, we have to go. And if you stay home people will think that you don’t like Khan just because he’s oriental.

“Hank: That is ridiculous I hate the man, because he’s rude and nasty. Not because of what his people did to us in WWII.

“Peggy: Well I know that, but everyone else will say that Hank Hill is a racist.

“Hank: What the Hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he’s white?”

‘Nuff said.

California passed proposition 8, a ban on gay marriage. Blacks and Latinos voted overwhelmingly for Obama, and blacks voted 79% for prop 8 and Latinos 64%. Those who voted for prop 8 are being denounced as hate filled. Does that mean that Obama’s black and Latino supporters are hate filled people?

Does that mean that Obama’s black and Latino supporters are hate filled people?

There are several answers. Use whichever one yo want.

1. Only a white male can be a hate-filled person.
2. They started out as informed, wonderful people, but by the time they’d filled out the bubbles for the Water Conservation Board and propositions to change the color of parking space stripes at schools, and they got to Prop 8, they were just grumpy.
3. You betcha.

So;

I’m not a racist. But if they’re going to call me a racist anyways, why not just screw them over anyway I can?

Anyone?

And don’t tell me because “it’s the right thing to do”, because I’m not so naive as to define “right” as “what I’d do” and work backwards like some people.

So the African Americans can vote for Obama because he’s a Kenyan American, but I can’t vote for McCain because I’m a Scots-Irish American? Or because I’m pro-life? Or because I am a woman who voted for Sarah Palin? Or the mom of a special needs kid who voted for Palin? Or because I come from a family of military service for more generations than I can count and McCain is a veteran who was tortured for my country.
Making a choice based on any of those things that ARE my identity make me a racist? freedom of speech…this is what my family has fought & died for and I believe in it, but I defy these folks to prove I’m a racist….

One might notice that the states that voted most heavily for Senator Obama are the ones that are having the greatest financial difficulty. The more productive, less unionized states, with lower unemployment had either close races or went for Senator McCain. The states that produce the country’s food, energy, other products that are in demand are included.

Strange, I never knew that Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska were beholden to the racism of the Old South.”

Yeah, or the 30-35% in the super blue states who voted McCain….

If a white who voted for McCain is a racist, what’s a black who voted for Obama?

I find the claims that Obama’s election proves America is post-racial to be seriously flawed. Whites split virtually 50/50 between Obama and McCain while blacks overwhelmingly voted for Obama … that doesn’t seem very post-racial to me. The only conclusion that can logically be drawn is that whites have, for the most part, become post-racial, but blacks have a long way to go.

OK, let’s see where I fit into that equation…

I’m white and I voted for McCain. But, I happen to live in Texas. Since Texas isn’t one of the states listed, that must mean that I’m NOT a racist by their stated logic, right? Even though Texas actually IS part of the south.

But, I moved here from Georgia just over a year ago. Had I still been in Georgia for the election, I would have still voted for McCain. Wouldn’t that have made me a racist by their logic?

So, if I vote for McCain in Texas I’m not a racist, but if I vote for McCain in Georgia I am one?

Huh?

Never mind that the matter of race didn’t factor into my voting decision one whit. I happen to detest leftists, no matter what their color. And I happen to know of more than 1 “person of color” that should they have run, and should they have been on the ticket, I’d have had no qualms at all about voting for.

The whole object of the exercise is so they will feel justified in including you in the 25 million Ayers was willing to kill to eliminate resistance to socialism.

After all, if you aren’t human then anything they want to do is reasonable……

Gb,

Stop trying to use logic. You stand a better chance of breaking logic than you do of changing their minds, and if you break logic, what will the rest of us do when we need logic to figure out a situation?

Just back slowly away and let them fester in their stupidity. They seem to enjoy festering in stupidity, in that they have created a Joint Center in which to fester in stupidity.

I just read this blog summary of their study and I feel like I’m getting a contact stupid just from the fumes of the original story. I thank Blue Collar Muse for finding and warning me off of this particular steaming turd left right in the middle of the Internet for others to find.

[…] up! After all, a vote for McCain and the conservation of liberty he tried to represent can only be “racist.” Forget his experience, valor in the face of death and dedication to his country. Nah, that […]

So white folks are the racists, eh? Well, I’ve been looking for some statistical data to back up that assertion, and finally I found something from an article in today’s “Guardian”, a liberal-leaning UK newspaper. However, it turns out that maybe the real racists are not so white, after all:
“… the Democratic candidate increased his percentage of the white vote over Kerry’s 2004 performance by a measly 2%, from 41% to 43%. Although the youth vote turned heavily democratic, there was no youth vote surge at all: the youth vote went from 17% in 2004 to 18% in 2008. The largest factor in the Obama victory was, surprise, the increase in the African American vote, from 11% to 13%, an almost 20% increase in the black vote over 2004, and the increase in the Democratic percentage of the increased black vote from 88% in 2004 to 95% in 2008, for a whopping three-point payoff in the electoral tally overall, with the Democrat taking over 12% of the popular vote from the black voters, versus just over 9% in 2004. An additional point over 2004 from Hispanics, a point from Asians and others, and Obama turned Kerry’s defeat into victory.”

I’m sure Bositis would think that imagining racism is beyond bad taste, if John Edwards ran against Jindal.

I Knew It! Southern McCain “Supporters” Are Racist!

Damn honkeys!

Apparently they also grow funny mustaches, drink a lot, screw their sisters and eat live baby kittens!
Blue Collar Muse clues us in to an interesting nugget of intellectual superiority from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Stu…

Someone please tell people from the Northeast to stop moving to the South if the South is such a horrible place.

You don’t see anyone moving from the South to the Northeast.

“Just as there were likely racists who voted for Obama.”

Likely? Ya think?

yes Ill make a blanket statement - there were more racist voters in Southern states .

Only if you admit that blacks are the most racist demographic in the country.

Although I’m certain you’ll argue that “blacks can’t be racist… because they’re black”

ROFL

#5, clearly it makes you a conflicted closet racist. You’d vote for Condi because she’s black yet fits your regressive worldview (or Weltanschauung as we, your superiors, say).

@Roger Godby -

Our superiors? Using the term ‘Weltanschauung’?!?

Perhaps you should change your name to Godwin! But wait, that’s if you call ME a Nazi, not if you claim to be one yourself!

In that case, just change your name to dangerous …

I’m wondering about those of us who live in the West and voted for McCain. Are we racist too? Perhaps a different kind of racist?

Or, perhaps, just of a different ideological bent …

@Gary Ogletree -

You racist, solo trailer backing, &^$^ ), ()(^$#, %$%#,!!)+))(*&!

Wow … that really rolls off the tongue! Sweet discovery of yet another source of racism. I’ll be sure and pass this on to Lewis and Bositis. Who knows, they may even name this variant after you? “Ogletree Racist” … sort of like Southern Democrat.

That way people, when they know you and know that you cannot possibly be a racist because of how well they know your character, can have men like Lewis explain it to them.

“Sir, I know you think you know Gary. You think he’s not a racist because you know him. In reality, though, he likely is one of the most nefarious types of racists … he’s an (insert appropriate throaty whisper for emphasis while looking around conspiratorially) Ogletree racist … everyone knows they’re the worst!”

In fact - what the heck are you doing commenting at my blog you piece of Ogletree racist trash … don’t you have people different from you to run over with your truck? Get out of here!

O yeah, this is going to work out well …

I almost can’t help but laugh when some FUBU-wearing Kool-Aid drinker talks about connecting with BO because he’s “one of us.” Looking at ancestry, BO most like has never has anyone in his family suffer under either American slavery or Jim Crow. Looking at growing up, how many African-American voters grew up in a combination of white and over-seas neighborhoods, going to a private high school in HI? I guess the real measure of being “one of us” is solely melatonin. Yea, that’s not racist at all.
