I was going to vote Obama. But now that he is by association a terrorist, a communist, and a zombie, I'm starting to rethink my vote.

I read a great one yesterday, in the same "Six Degrees of Kevin BaconTerrorism" vein: William Ayers got that $50mil education endowment from the Annenberg Foundation. The Annenberg Foundation helps fund NPR and CPB. So if you watch PBS or listen to NPR, you're a TERRORIST.

Eh, this isn't exactly profound insight from Castro.

Castro's written comments were published by state media Saturday. In them, he insists a "profound racism" exists in the U.S. and that millions of whites "cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a black person ... could occupy the White House, which is called just that: white."

Castro also described Republican presidential candidate John McCain as "bellicose."


I think it's deliberate reverse psychology, although there's truth in it.

Castro: "White Americans won't vote for Obama. They hate black people because they're so racist, just like Americans."

Random American: "I'll show you, you COMMIE SCUM! I'll vote for TEN black people and I'll rent Hancock again!"

Wait, isn't McCain a friend of Annenberg? So NPR is less terroristic than John.

Uh-oh. I grew up watching Sesame Street and all of the PBS shows. I knew Bert was a domestic terrorist! All "palling around" with Ernie! ... And I just started getting into This American Life. Ira Glass! This is your fault!

So, is Jim Lehrer going to bomb the Pentagon or what, now? I hear the right wing is gearing up to get Hulk angry on us, and NewsHour definitely leans in that direction.

I was about to dismiss this as ridiculous tin-foil hat troofer garbage, but then I remembered something I had seen before...

Republicans are racist? Since when?

Xenophobia, anti-elitism, and bible thumping are small town values.

Easy there!! I am from a small town that voted for Gore and Kerry!

But guess who is right on par with John Boy? That's right, Republican savior Ronald Reagan. Also that no good, worthless subversive and all-around bad guy Frank Sinatra.

And as Colbert just exposed to our nation, so are libraries.

All those books available to anyone, for FREE. Free. How despicable is that? Libraries are seeds of communism amongst us. They don't even seek to profit! Simply sickening.

Bullshiat, Cubans are some of the most racist people I have ever met. I have lived in Miami for the past 20 years. I know Cubans.

Fark Fidel, no matter who he endorses or on who he heaps his faint praise.

 
Drunk Astronaut 2008-10-12 08:07:01 AM  
Ironic to condemn communism when most of us are watching Chinese made televisions, and wearing Chinese made clothes.

Hu Jintao is our friend.

Fidel Castro is our enemy.

But what's the difference?

Castro is a farking asshole. He doesn't know the first thing about race relations in the U.S., and considering how they treat ethnic blacks in Cuba, he really needs to STFU. This is the least racist country in the world. Learning to cope with the challenges of diversity is NOT racism.

You may want to visit Brazil sometime.

WTF...Castro is not yet dead. Ergo, he is not yet zombified.

EL_FABREZ: ...Xenophobia, anti-elitism, and bible thumping are small town values.

Not to mention a longing for the likes of such "family" gazettas as Grit and Capper's Weekly being preferred over the "elitist" Time and Newsweek as the foundation of the small-town Weltanschauung.

As well as the implications of Castro's comments leaving us wondering who "real Americans" would want to vote for (new window) if Obama can't be trusted on racial grounds and McCain's deemed too belligerent.

 
Zombie Castro 2008-10-12 01:22:06 PM  
This was not an endorsement. More of an observation and critique of American society.

 
hk5 2008-10-12 04:24:36 PM  
I would have to agree with Castro on this one. White Appalachian Democrats would rather vote white over black. It showed in the primaries as Hillary won most of the Appalachian states. Whether they will admit it or not, racial bias is in the subconscious of most rural white Democrats and Independants. NPR did a report on racial bias in York, PA. Just do a search for it and listen.

Yeah, and the body of Kim Jong-Il just called in his support.
