Racism In The Next Election

[Weester]

WASHINGTON - A presidential candidate who's named Hussein and wears a turban? A building that's called the White House but run by a black guy?

Those political images and ideas already have found their way onto TV airwaves and campaign buttons, possible harbingers of racially tinged messages in a general election involving the first black candidate to head a major party's ticket.

Though the election is more than four months away, the campaigns of Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are shaping their strategies for dealing with such appeals.

The Obama campaign vows to fight back fiercely and fast, not repeating John Kerry's mistake of waiting to respond to the 2004 "Swift Boat" ads that Democrats saw as a smear of his military record. McCain's camp is alert for attacks on its man, too.

The McCain campaign promises to condemn any race-based political appeals. But it also insists it won't stand still for false charges of racism or for allegations merely aimed at preventing criticism of Obama on legitimate issues.

"Every word will be twisted to make it about race," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a McCain friend and adviser. When he and others confront Obama on issues such as national security and the economy, Graham said, it will have "nothing to do with him being an African-American."

Obama adviser David Axelrod said the Democrat's campaign will be on high alert for code words or innuendo meant to play on voters' racial sentiments. "We're going to be aggressive about pushing back on anything that we feel is inappropriate or misleading," he said.

I don't dislike Obama because of his race.

I would vote for Colin Powell before I voted for him or McCain. Plus, Oblahma is half white, yet he and his campaign are branding him as the "Po Black Man"...

I dislike Obama because he has no economic sense, no experience, and no idea how to run the country.

Thats a good honest response....Too bad there are many here and in the U.S. that will make this election about his skin color/religion..

BINGO---Well said!!!!!

[LEFT OVER RICE]

To me, a black man cannot run the country because there are places that still don't permit or accept black people. There are golf courses T.Woods can't play at, communities Oprah can't buy a home in, and much more than the eye can see. But, in reality, his some of his ideas just are not possible to obtain, like how to get to them. But, it is stupid how some people vote by race.

national negro college fund isn;t about to give me any money to go to school so whats ur point? thats a non-profit group too.. you are talkin about private golf clubs.. they can do what ever the hell they wanna do.. if i wanna have a private club that doesnt allow guys named joe i am allowed.

i'd vote for a guy like JC watts (R), I voted for lynn swann (R) for governer of PA. for me its not about race. Its black people that are making it about race by voting for obama in the 80-90% percentile! Obama's wife is C*** and she should keep her C*** mouth shut because she's not running for president. the way she acts is reason enough for me not to vote for him.

I see your back from the weekend with your boyfriend! Did he get your point, or did you get his?

When the the "Hillary Democrats" all vote for McLame in the fall the media will paint them as "Racist Republicans".

Just watch.

Republicans won't vote for Obama because he is an empty suit, Jimma Carter wannabe. Not because he is black.

It's the Democrats (the ones that don't mind Jimma Carter wannabes) that won't be voting for him "because he is black"

That's the point I think the Dems are missing, the Republicans won't vote for him because besides having no experience, he offers nothing, and a lot of Hillary supporters won't vote for him because they feel that he and the Dem party screwed them in Mich and Florida.

It's the Dems who won't vote for him because he's black they need to worry about.

I agree.

Too bad there are many here and in the U.S. that will make this election about his skin color/religion..

You mean like the 92-95% of black Democrats who voted for Obama in the primaries? C'mon, anyone using common sense already sees who's going to make this about Obama's color... BLACKS ARE!

And just today, Obama gave the "they're going to try to scare you" speech. And at the end... 'And did I mention he's black'... Again... BARACK made that statement, but whites aren't allowed... Who's racist? It's totally obvious.

Personally, I won't vote for Obama regardless of color. I've been saying for months now, he has done nothing of value for the public and he's done nothing to prove he's capable and most of all, he's a friggin' socialist!

The golf courses and community were just examples, I know many of them are private. But, when it's a town or a store that still displays these actions, who takes care of that issue? Wouldn't the president have a small part in the outcome of the situation? Not trying to be a smart ass here, just gaining knowledge. Also, its good you don't vote by race. And yeah, some blacks are voting for Obama because he is black (basically mixed), but it's because they are uneducated when it comes to siding on with parties. Thats why I am here, to learn which side to be on for the right cause, not because of color my friend

File it away in the back of your brain, Left Over, Hillary's got one more shot in 2012! But thinking that over, there are too many scenario's where, if The Obomanation Is president, he would NOT finish out the term!

HHmmmmm......Wouldn't it be interesting if the Hilderbeast went back to the Senate and took over Reid's position! Would put her in line to inherit the Presidency if what 3 people DIED in front of her! Well, that's pretty far out.................................ISN'T IT????????????????????

This country will never elect a black man. Even one as intelligent as Obama. Black are and always will be the minority. Majority vote wins. Not to mention that most of the political contributors are white CEO's of large companies with powerful lobbyists.

[Black Power]

Never say never Brett.

I honestly think if Colin Powell had challenged for the GOP nomination he would have won it and smashed Obama in November.

I have no problem with a black man running the country, if the black man is looking out for the good OF THE COUNTRY. Same as a white man, he better be looking out for the COUNTRY and not himself...or he is not worthy of the office.

I am would MUCH rather have a black guy president than a white woman president. Many women (not all, but a lot) from what I see tend to make decisions based on emotion rather than reason. I would not want to see ANY person in the White House that wasn't looking down the road at the long term repercussions of their actions.
