I'm voting for him because he's black. But I'm not black; I just have jungle fever. Hot, hot, homo, Democrat jungle fever.

In other news, I start drinking early on Friday.

That is the most racist article I've read in awhile.

That poor dumbass doesn't even know why he's being racist.

Are you sure you weren't reading Rush Limbaugh's football takes for next year?

Dunno, but he always reminds me of this guy:

Let's not kid ourselves: Obama's candidacy is strictly about his skin color.

Let's not kid ourselves: Ben Shapiro is an ignorant ass who is grasping at straws.

Now let's see if Obama plays the victim card like Hillary has on MSNBC.

Yep, didn't think so.

Let's not adult ourselves: Ice cream for supper!

Blaa Blaa Blaa racist Blaa Blaa Blaa black Blaa Blaa Blaa white sheets Blaa Blaa Blaa KKK Blaa Blaa Blaa White Power Blaa Blaa Blaa

If I may quote Maddox: Reading this column "is like getting bukakked with stupid."


FTFA: Obama's big showing, we are told, demonstrates that Americans have finally moved beyond the racial divisions of the past.

"We are told?" By whom? I can't think of a single talking head on any network who has said anything even approximating that statement. I think I have heard some express quite the opposite: surprise that Obama does well among whites.


FTFA: He's got African genes, and we're all supposed to pull the lever for him to prove to ourselves that we're not racists.

Of course. It has nothing to do with Obama being dynamic, likeable, and largely bereft of political baggage. It has to be because his white supporters are all overcompensating for secret racist tendencies.


The rest of it is just as mind-numbing, filled with the usual knee-jerk accusations of being an inexperienced empty suit.

Being on Fark for over 5 years, I've read a lot of idiotic things, and a lot of things I vehemently disagree with. This is one of the few times I've truly wanted to punch someone in the face. Hard. And repeatedly.

Awesome. I absolutly love that this is the best the GOP can do.

Look, Democrats? All you have to do is NOT FARK THIS UP by nominating Hillary, and you can haz whitehouse, congress AND senate.

Got it? All you have to do is not...fark..this..up. Think you can do that?

Republicans before 2006: "Nobody is voting for Democrats because Democrats think Americans are stupid."

Republicans after 2006: "Americans are voting for Democrats because Americans are stupid."

I'm going to go dress like this reporter, look at myself in the mirror and punch myself in the face.

A surprising amount of this crap is coming from black people, as well. Shelby Steele wrote a whole book on this, essentially comparing Obama to Louis Armstrong, in that they're both non-threatening minstrels who assuage white guilt by pretending at cooperation while solving nothing.

Steele also said that Obama will not win the general election, as white people will abandon him for a familiar white face.

In other news, Ben Shapiro and Shelby Steele are the crusty castoffs from society's balls.

He's not black. He's paper sack brown.

I'm sorry, we weren't listening. We were distracted by the media stating that the Clintons are whoring out their daughter.

Car_Ramrod: I'm sorry, we weren't listening. We were distracted by the media stating that the Clintons are whoring out their daughter.

And if there's anything we Democrats like, it's daughter-whores.

I'm voting for Obama because he's half Kansan.

What a racist op-ed piece.

still racist

while he probably could have (and should have) used better wording, I think the underlying argument is that Obama hasn't presented any new ideas or anything of substance, for that matter. I've watched most of his speeches, and they go something like this:

blah blah CHANGE blah blah blah YES WE CAN blah blah blah WASHINGTON IS BROKEN blah blah blah CHANGE blah blah blah YES WE CAN CHANGE blah blah blah YES WE CAN CHANGE A BROKEN WASHINGTON!!!!

I can't wait to vote for him!

/how are you going to change washington?
//that is the question that you're not answering
///and better yet, how you gonna pay for it?

I was wondering who would be the one to play the willfully ignorant in this thread. Thank you for answering my question.

Oh, and for the answers you seek, use as reference his website, the transcripts from any/all the Democratic debates, or even every single Obama thread we've had.

I went to High School with this columnist. There were only 40 people per class, so I knew him.

He's a douche.

It's like how the conservatives deal with their repressed homosexuality.

They assume everyone else is as gay/racist as they are.

His plans call for an increase in domestic spending of $250 billion a year, and he's for the war in Iraq ($1 Trillion/year). This country is broke, how are you intending we pay for it? Borrow more from the Chinese? Print more money until the dollar is worthless?

I'm sure your grandchildren will thank you kindly for the bill you advocate racking up for them.

Since when did the war in Iraq cost 1 trillion a year?

YoungSwedishBlonde: Since when did the war in Iraq cost 1 trillion a year?

Since you started touching yourself at night.

DamnYankees: I went to High School with this columnist. There were only 40 people per class, so I knew him.

He's a douche.

Thanks for the confirmation, but after reading that "article", there really wasn't much doubt.

Get used to it. If Obama wins the nomination (and I do mean "if"), "it's just because he's black" will be the new "he voted for the war before he voted against it".

Didn't read the article but Obama is not black, and yes, some, not all, are voting for him because he is black.

Huh? Is he drunk?

mcdithers:

/how are you going to change washington?

By not demonizing the opposition, as has been the de facto standard on both sides of the aisle ever since Bill Clinton took office. Obama has been quite clear on this point.


//that is the question that you're not answering

You haven't been paying attention.


///and better yet, how you gonna pay for it?

No doubt he'll try to shift the a major portion of the tax burden toward the wealthiest brackets. Silly question.

/With the Bush tax cuts expiring, he wouldn't even need much Congressional help for a significant portion of accomplishing that goal.
//All he'd have to do is veto any (very unlikely) attempt to extend them.

worlddan: Didn't read the article but Obama is not black, and yes, some, not all, are voting for him because he is black.

I never realized stupidity could be so zen.

Technically, Obama IS just as white as he is black. The historical 'one drop rule' is the only reason he's considered black.

DUDE!

mistahtom Quote 2008-02-04 11:10:21 PM
Obama's mama is white, his dad is an African immigrant. He is not black, people. Black implies that you are the descendant of slaves. If the people who want to vote for him because he is black, the need to take this into consideration.

However, I would totally vote for Obama if he gets the nomination.

According to conservative columnists, Obama isn't really black and the only reason why anyone votes for him is because he is black all sorts of batshiat crazy things that have no basis in reality are true.

YoungSwedishBlonde: Since when did the war in Iraq cost 1 trillion a year?

Does seem a bit low. Wait, how many trillion are we down now? Ah well, it doesn't matter becuase Obama actually wants us OUT of Iraq. His plan calls for a set number of people out every month or so instead of the instant withdrawl of everyone. I'm kind of dissapointed by that but I also realize that I feel that way becuase I'm fatigued by the whole thing and want out NOW even if it's not realistic.

I'll admit one problem with his policies is the shear number of good works he's attempting while we're still in debt from the current administration's fark ups. Canceling their tax cuts is a good start but we're on a slow road to recovery no matter what.

El_Dan: Technically, Obama IS just as white as he is black. The historical 'one drop rule' is the only reason he's considered black.

Really? It's the *only* reason? Having an African parents isn't a reason?

My friend, every night I am kept awake by the thoughts of opportunities in my life I have missed. I can't imagine how you feel not beating this dick like a rented mule every chance you had.

Falcc: I'm kind of dissapointed by that but I also realize that I feel that way becuase I'm fatigued by the whole thing and want out NOW even if it's not realistic.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it would be a logistical nightmare and we'd end up leaving all sorts of equipment behind for our religious fundamentalist friends to get their grubby little mitts on.

WTF are you talking about? (p)

Benjamin Shapiro was born in 1984 in Burbank, Calif. Brought up in the home of two Reagan Republicans, where intelligent conversation about politics and philosophy was encouraged, Shapiro quickly developed into a reasoned political thinker and a powerful writer.

He entered UCLA at the age of 16, graduating May, 2004, with a major in political science and plans to attend Harvard Law School in the Fall. Never afraid to antagonize his political opposition, he was the only counter-protester at an Affirmative Action Rally that drew over 1,500 people on UCLA's campus, and he has repeatedly challenged liberal professors and faculty.

As a staunch conservative on the modern politically correct campus, Shapiro faces the political liberals head-on. From exposing the leftist tilt of the professoriate on college campuses to addressing the conflict in the Middle East, Shapiro's confrontational approach always draws a hailstorm of response.

Shapiro was hired at age 17 to become the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the U.S. His columns are printed nationwide in major newspapers and websites, including Townhall.com, WorldNetDaily.com, FrontPageMag.com, the Riverside Press-Enterprise and the Conservative Chronicle. His columns have also appeared in the Orlando Sentinel, Honolulu Star-Advertiser, RealClearPolitics.com, Jewish World Review, and he has been quoted on the O'Reilly Factor, in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Press, and in The American Conservative magazine, among many others.

Ben Shapiro is a bestselling author and a nationally syndicated columnist. At age 16 he entered UCLA, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in June 2004 with a BA in Political Science. He graduated Harvard Law School cum laude in June 2007.

The author of the national bestsellers, Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth (WND Books, May 2004) and Porn Generation: How Social Liberalism Is Corrupting Our Future (Regnery, June 2005), Shapiro has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows around the nation, including "The O'Reilly Factor" (Fox News), "Fox and Friends" (Fox News), "In the Money" (CNN Financial), "Scarborough Country" (MSNBC), "The Dennis Miller Show" (CNBC), "Fox News Live" (Fox News Channel), "Glenn Beck Show" (CNN), "Your World with Neil Cavuto" (Fox News) and "700 Club" (Christian Broadcasting Network), "The Laura Ingraham Show," "The Michael Medved Show," "The G.

Because he was too busy beating his OWN....

Nah, that's crude even for FARK.

El_Dan: Technically, Obama IS just as white as he is black. The historical 'one drop rule' is the only reason he's considered black.

I was listening to NPR ..yesterday I think it was, they were interviewing someone who had wrote a book about Obama and they were discussing race issues. This person stated that Obama is considered "black" because Obama terms himself as a black man. Some other prominent figures in the media who are from different race parents often describe, or term themselves, mixed heritage or some other name that defines them as being of two different racial backgrounds. Obama does not do this and simply identifies himself as black.

/yuck , i hate talking race.
//mind bleach, i need it.

No, I'm going to go home and get some 'tang. This guy is a closet homo. How do I know? Look a little deeper into him. He is anti-premartial sex and anti -everything gay. He's a closet case biatch. And, honestly, as smug as his shiat is, I am positive he can't go many places without worrying about a well deserved sucker punch. I am cool so I move about freely :)

//suck it cons?

Meh, he is somewhat righ. I think Obama has a compelling story though and that helps.

No no, he's right. Obama's the Dem frontrunner only because he's black. That's also why Alan Keyes is the number one candidate for the Republicans.

Once again, the conservatives prove that they are afraid to face Obama in the general election.

but, but, but...he's bleck!
