I am amused at how you revel in language you know some people find offensive...

And people wonder why there is such a story entitled: "Obama Suggests GOP Will Use Race to Scare Voters"

People like you try to INVOKE the race controversy...

That's it.

And if Obama gets elected, you can then say, in four years, that he ALSO has "four years of executive officer experience"...

Ahhh...DERRRRR! That's my whole point...he doesn't have the experience now. All I ever hear about his "experience" is that he was a great "community organizer". Yay...he's a good fundraiser. Whoop-dee-fuckin-doo! How does that translate into ability to run the country?

Asked and answered already.
I am pointing out the hypocrisy of people who jump up and down on a standard that they looked the other way on for their previous "boy".

No, not already answered. We've been asking, in this thread, for the merits of Obama for a couple of pages now. All you managed to do was post some completely irrelevant and mostly fabricated satire about George Bush.

Quote:

And it could be potentially construed as offensive to refer to Obama as "boy".

Only because you guys have to reach so far to play a race card to distract from the fact that the guy has no merit to speak of.

And you're further proving my point by demonstrating you're ignoring my points.
There is no reason to continue this discussion if you're not really interested...

I'm still interested to see what these supposed merits of Obama's are....

No.....you brought up "boy", and reveled in it, not me, I just showed you how silly you looked.

No.
If you actually read the post you replied to originally, I was quoting IP who used it first.
He has been using it repeatedly, like in posts #18, #26, and #35.

And then you joined in with that lame "White House" rip...

The point of this thread, according to the title, is "Obama Suggests GOP Will Use Race to Scare Voters".
Are you trying to prove his point?

No. In fact, I think the point here is that the Obama people are the quicker to scare up the race issue.

Your comment seems to suggest to me that since racism still exists then everybody is guilty of it.

You're now saying that the truth shall make you free. What truth? McCain's campaign has not used race to scare voters to this point, and Obama didn't even say that he did. Obama is suggesting that he will use race to scare voters. I'd say that's more like pre-judging someone than truth, wouldn't you?

It's unfair, in my opinion, to say that all politicians will use race to win an election.

Here's what I stated previously:

I've already received numerous email forwards warning me that Obama is a Muslim. Rush and other political entertainment hosts have pointedly drawn out the pronunciation of Barak Hussein Obama's middle name ; Wright's sermons not only give fuel to the Republican fires, they serve to make people of color go "hell yes!" "You know it! "
Are these people working for the respective campaigns?
Well they're sure not hurting the effort to put race at the forefront of voters' minds.
