i know what they're talking about. i can't even believe they're putting the segregated water fountains back up. what a disastrous regression.

lol NRO

/Really, does a more intelligent response need to be uttered?

*ahem*

This article is an OUTRAGE. It's exactly this kind of divisive, misleading "journalism" that is keeping this country mired in the political stagnation we've been suffering under since the 1960s.

The ignorant GGG farktards should get their heads out of their pundits' asses and actually try bettering this country for once, instead of trying to install a white dominated theocracy.

Well it must be true if NRO says it. They've never been wrong before!

That was the dumbest op-ed piece I've ever read, and that's saying a lot considering that I've been on Fark for over 5 years.

I will not allow you to slander the good name of the German Goo Girls.

So... the article is saying race is an issue in the election?

Well, I guess so, if you're a dumbfark.

Conservatives who've drunk their kool-aid accusing liberals of drinking their own kool-aid?

Sorry righties, nothing will change the fact that you nominated Bob Dole.

FTFA: Context is now king.

Ummm...I know out of context quotes make the best smear campaigns - but you're actually arguing that context is a BAD thing? Sigh...pathetic.

President McCain doesn't like your shenanigans.

/well, he is "liberal" according to most of the right

"This disastrous regression in race relations is the natural dividend of liberal identity politics. Barack Obama is on his way to a McGovern candidacy." LOOK OUT! BLACK PREECHERS! 9/11!

DamnYankees: What do we keep linking to retarded NRO articles?

I think a few people spammed "OMG Every article is an Obama circle-jerk!" It was kinda-sorta true. To rectify the situation, I guess someone decided to flood the tab with Anti-Obama circle-jerks. It's all good, I guess.

Anyway, the "article" was both short and devoid of anything worth the time to type even those few words. But I suppose if I got paid to puke out words, I'd be all over it.

We don't talk about it;
it isn't there.

Obama has ruined the illusion.

How many people would get this question wrong? ^{(^)}

Now do you want a president who doesn't know how to answer a simple question without clearing it with the president or the party?
How lapdog is that?

Right, because race relations in this country were at such a high point before Barack HUSSEIN Obama came along.

It's a good thing he didn't say that Gays and liberals caused 9/11, cause that would be just crazy white man talk.

Blatant hypocrisy in plain view.

Q: "But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: 'No, we're not going to distribute them,' knowing that?"

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) "Get me Coburn's thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn's paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I've never gotten into these issues before."

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.


LOL That was sweet of that reporter to ask McCain a question about livestock - now thats something a guy like him can answer.

quickdraw: LOL That was sweet of that reporter to ask McCain a question about livestock - now thats something a guy like him can answer

Either that or "How many fingernails can you stand benig pulled out before you pass the frak out?".

As much of a tool as McCain is, we should remember what he did for this country.

Magruda: Either that or "How many fingernails can you stand benig pulled out before you pass the frak out?".

Yeah that should prove useful when McCain is called on, as a matter of Presidential duty, to take a principled stand on torture.

Oh wait...

this just in, ignoring them and hoping they go away is apparently the way to solve racial problems in the US.

GWShenlong05: Yeah that should prove useful when McCain is called on, as a matter of Presidential duty, to take a principled stand on torture.

The worst part is that he himself under torture told his captors that he committed war crimes and denounced the United States. He lied while under torture just to stop the pain. Yet he still supports the torture of terrorist suspects as if somehow there would be a different result. Incredible...

Magruda: It's a good thing he didn't say that Gays and liberals caused 9/11, cause that would be just crazy white man talk.

Hey, man! We don't take all the credit. The ACLU, abortionists, pagans and feminists helped us! That curtain of protection was far too heavy for just the gays and liberals to lift.

It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year

of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman

candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and

a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter

over 70. The next president of America will be a first.
We won't truly be in an election of firsts , however, until we

judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive

where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color

or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the

Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race,
and start talking about his policies and his politics.
The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a
nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out,

Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America

takes a closer and deeper look at him. Some pundits are

calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the

next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal

senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted

Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton . Never in my life

have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far
removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our

taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness,

and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda,

and he lost. Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's

not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him

as if he were in a beauty pageant. Mr. Obama talks about getting

past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial 'beauty.'
Start with national security, since the president's most important

duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama

talked about invading Pakistan , a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who

vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the t able since we created nuclear

weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.
Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system

is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined

a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on 'the rich.' How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, f unded by your paycheck.
Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, 'All praise and glory to God!' but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have 'hijacked' - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francisco values, not Middle America values.
The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of 'bringing America together' means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs. &n bsp;
But right now everyone Is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're
talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base
our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside
the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.
It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's

first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in

a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

Not saying he's the right man for the job, but he deserves respect next to his ridicule.

Now do you want a president who doesn't know how to answer a simple question without clearing it with the president or the party?

And that's why he'll be our next president.

Sure, I sound like a broken record. I say the same thing over and over again a lot. But, you have to realize something: Americans are stupid. They need something to be repeated a lot before they start realizing it.

As sure as the sun rises in the east, McCain will be our president. Americans will vote in Republicans in 2008, and that's fine with me. I want to see this country over and done with. I want to see its idiotic citizenry suffer and its cities in ruined shambles. And, at the final hour, when McCain's warmongering exceeds even that of President Bush, and the Christians get their true wish, I want to see all of civilization smashed to pieces.

The ironic thing is that democracy will be to blame for the end of the world. You morons chose this future. You deserve that dark fate.

So, inflict this grievous injury upon yourself! Vote Republican, PLEASE! Do it; give the Christians what they truly want, and, in doing so, you will also give the people of this world the coup de grâce they so desperately seek.

Ralph Nader! how nice of you to join us.

You'll get better predictions from the back of a cereal box. At least there is a smigin of science there next to the nutrition facts.

You know that failure de-motivational poster based on two posts from Fark? A well-written post followed by "Jesus was an extraterrestrial" or something?

If it would fit on the screen, I think we could do the same thing for Gregory F. Stuart's and sobeit233's posts.

This reminds me of the whole "Where is the Islamic outrage?" thing that was popular shortly after 9/11.

For some reason, a lot of people believe in "shared guilt". If they associate you with someone who does something wrong. Then you MUST voice condemnation. If you do not condemn, you share part of the guilt.

The problem is that this is always based on a double standard. We think every Islamic leader should publicly reject Iran's president's rants, while no one feels obligated to apologize for Ann Coulter's statement that we should "kill their leaders, invade their countries, and convert them to Christianity".

Conservatives think every liberal should apologize for Wright, but they don't think they should have to apologize for Pat Robertson.

Robertson has make as many inflammatory comments as Wright has, and there are just as many conservatives that have defended Robertson as there are liberals who defend Wright.

Meanwhile, what the candidate himself says gets lost in the noise.

Who brought this crap into the limelight? I seriously don't know. Was this a republican smear thing or a Hillary smear thing? I suppose it's possible that they worked together.

Either way, this Rev. Wright crap, while really not having much effect on any candidate (in my mind), is a serious topic of social discussion. The biggest problem that I've seen is the people defending some of Wright's comments because they support Obama -- rather than actually analyzing what this type of rhetoric really means.

The same is true on the right of course. I don't consider Wright's anti-white message much differently than I view the right's anti-gay message. Both are equally disgusting. It seems that some are defending him because of his relationship to Obama, which is sad.

Gregory F. Stuart: "I want to see this country over and done with. I want to see its idiotic citizenry suffer and its cities in ruined shambles."

Unless you are senior citizen, I think you'll get your wish -- regardless of which of the three candidates gets installed in the White House.

It's just a matter of time, now.
