Magpie, why don’t you lift that burden off yourself and come right out and say that you don’t like black people.
Just quit beating around the bush and let it out. You’ll feel much better.
Don’t worry. We can handle it. It’s a free country. It’s not illegal to not like black people.
It’s just hypocritical to post trash like you post and not have the guts to admit it.

Wow, once again we have another English Professor on the forum. Did you friggin get what I was saying. YES. I think it is hillarious that you spent that much time looking up the definitions for all this just to be a sarcastic piece of crap. I can just see you now, running to the dictionary to type all this out. You did all that while I was doing my cardio for the evening. Hey I am proud of you, great job and thanks for another english lesson. Are we going to have a test tomorrow because I will make sure I study for it? What a moron.
By the way, I don’t have a problem with black people, I just have a problem with people who always throw the race card on every situation that involves a black person. Like I said earlier, everyone jumped on the issue when someone made the statement “Sit down, boy”, and turned it into a racist statement. I find it hard to believe that the individual didn’t instigate something prior to that person telling him to sit down. As always, MOST everyone on this forum is onesided. You don’t ever look at the whole picture. Let me just ask you this, would the race card have been played if that was a white guy who was told to “Sit down, boy” by a black person? We all know it wouldn’t have, so why is it that way the other way around? This is what I have a problem with.
Why do Democrats and liberals personally attack people with whom they disagree?
Haven’t they ever heard that personally attacking those with whom they disagree is not the most constructive method for resolving differences of opinion?
When ever they run out of logical arguments, that seems to be the fall back position for them. It is typical Liberal BS. I’m reading tongue-n-cheeks comments, and the thin-skinned seem to react in the most venomous manner possible.

Actually, you are the one who looks like an illiterate MORON. I’m sure that you can do better. I can get you a really good deal on the English course offered by Rosetta Stone.
John McCain has had 26 years to enact fundamental change. Yes, he has made a ripple or two in those 26 years. That is not good enough. He put me to sleep last night during the debate because he kept repeating the same three or four lines, and not answering the questions!
If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting. Enough.

Wassy:
Actually, Maggy has personally attacked people with whom she disagrees- several times, in SEVERAL other threads. SHE has been the one to “ react in the most venomous manner possible”. She is hardly “Mrs. Clean"- her hands are just as dirty. So, we have decided not to take it anymore, and we have decided to give back “as good as we have gotten” from her.
The mistake that Gore and Kerry made in 2000 and 2004 was that they ignored and tried to rise above the personal attacks. Obama isn’t making that mistake, thank goodness, this time around.
By the way- the Secret Service is following up on the piece of human garbage who shouted “KILL HIM!” at the rally in Clearwater. Certainly, I can’t say John McCain and Sarah Palin are responsible for the specific words that come out of some of their nut case supporters. However, they do set the tone here, and they signal what is and is not acceptable.
Let’s be clear - McCain and Palin are using some language that tells supporters that Barack Obama hates America, supports bombing America, thinks we are killers, that we should fear him because he views America like a terrorist would. What’s a supporter supposed to think that Palin and McCain want to hear back? “Bully for him! Huzzah!”?
No, it’s hate speech, as hateful as anything overt. And it, not surprisingly, elicits a hateful, even violent, response. Violence and hate directed at Barack Obama. Check previous threads- you will also see that your girl Maggy has given the same type of responses towards myself and other members of this forum. A way back on this thread and on other threads, I’ve stated my opinion without bringing in any attacks, but I have gotten some nasty attacks in return, mostly from Maggy. My religion does not teach “turn the other cheek”, so now the gloves are off. Don is a personal friend with an open mind, so he comes to my aid.
Back to the “shouter"- if the McCain campaign wants to say this isn’t a big deal, I suggest that they contact the Secret Service, because the Secret Service is now treating the crowd reaction at McCain rallies to be a violent threat against a candidate for President of the United States.
What McCain/Palin are turning their base into is reminiscent of Hitler turning Germany against the Jews. Of course, by their lack of condemning the “Kill Him” comments, they are advocating the killing of a US Senator.
It’s disgusting and vulgar for Palin to incite the very core of vile trash we still have in our society; the ignorant, the hateful, the prejudiced and the mindless. This type of rhetoric and lies being expressed during what should be a healthy political contest is the very lowest of lows for any candidate. The speeches that she has been giving are tantamount to inciting to violence. It’s a crime to do this against government officials, and those running for office. She should STOP using that kind of rhetoric. What she’s doing is un-American, and engaging in lying and distortions (another word for lying) goes against her professed religion (or is Christianity merely a convenient stage prop for her campaigning?).
For people in the crowds to yell: “traitor, terrorist, kill him” shows us, the American people, that the Republican party has sunk to a vile new low. These haters need to be put on notice.
Here’s what one of the best-known and most-respected conservative commentators thinks about Caribou Barbie:
Palin’s Kind of Patriotism
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Published: October 7, 2008
Criticizing Sarah Palin is truly shooting fish in a barrel.
How in the world can conservative commentators write with a straight face that this woman should be vice president of the United States? Do these people understand what serious trouble our country is in right now?
At this moment, only good governance can save us. I am not sure that this crisis will end without every government in every major economy guaranteeing the creditworthiness of every financial institution it regulates. That may be the only way to get lending going again. Organizing something that big and complex will take some really smart governance and seasoned leadership.
Whether or not I agree with John McCain, he is of presidential timber. But putting the country in the position where a total novice like Sarah Palin could be asked to steer us through possibly the most serious economic crisis of our lives is flat out reckless. It is the opposite of conservative.
And please don’t tell me she will hire smart advisers. What happens when her two smartest advisers disagree?
And please also don’t tell me she is an “energy expert.” She is an energy expert exactly the same way the king of Saudi Arabia is an energy expert — by accident of residence. Palin happens to be governor of the Saudi Arabia of America — Alaska — and the only energy expertise she has is the same as the king of Saudi Arabia’s. It’s about how the windfall profits from the oil in their respective kingdoms should be divided between the oil companies and the people.
At least the king of Saudi Arabia, in advocating “drill baby drill,” is serving his country’s interests — by prolonging America’s dependence on oil. My problem with Palin is that she is also serving his country’s interests — by prolonging America’s dependence on oil. That’s not patriotic. Patriotic is offering a plan to build our economy — not by tax cuts or punching more holes in the ground, but by empowering more Americans to work in productive and innovative jobs. If Palin has that kind of a plan, I haven’t heard it.

Uhhhhhh Hello! Wizzup. Isn’t that kinda why the McCain/Palin duo’s sucking hind tit?
Another leading Conservative’s opinion of Caribou Barbie:
October 8, 2008
David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and vice presidential candidates Monday afternoon, calling Sarah Palin a “fatal cancer to the Republican party” but describing John McCain and Barack Obama as “the two best candidates we’ve had in a long time.”
In an interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg at New York’s Le Cirque restaurant to unveil that magazine’s redesign, Brooks decried Palin’s anti-intellectualism and compared her to President Bush in that regard:
Brooks praised Palin’s natural political talent, but said she is “absolutely not” ready to be president or vice president. He explained, “The more I follow politicians, the more I think experience matters, the ability to have a template of things in your mind that you can refer to on the spot, because believe me, once in office there’s no time to think or make decisions.”
Report On Palin ‘Troopergate’ Set For Release
Alaska lawmakers were scheduled on Friday to release an investigative report focusing on whether Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her authority as governor.
The first-term Alaska governor has been accused of firing a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. But the report is also expected to touch on whether Palin’s husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records.
The inquiry, approved by a legislative committee’s bipartisan vote, began before Republican presidential nominee John McCain named Palin his running mate. Since then, the case has been dogged by accusations of political influence.
The investigation focuses on her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan. Monegan says Palin and her husband pressured him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor’s sister. When Monegan resisted, he says, he was fired.
Palin’s critics say that shows she used her office to settle family affairs.

This investigative report could be the Coup de grace for the McCain/Palin debacle.

I totally agree with you Elizabeth.
You to are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just words, these are just words, and certainly not condoned by the McCain-Palin ticket. Given the response that they have illicited from you and others, one should think about who benefits the most from these outbursts, Republicans or Democrats. Isn’t it possible that these are just Obama supporters planting themselves in the crowd, to make outrageous statements, in order to gain national attention and support for their candidate? Think about it.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state’s public safety commissioner. The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn’t the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.
Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor’s sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
