Dan Rather: Obama "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." Message 26371324; Not a racist putdown but a bad choice of fruit to suggest Obama sell. I'm not gonna give links for these - they're all well known: "A Few Years Ago, This Guy Would Have Been Getting Us Coffee" Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy re. Obama Definitely, a racist putdown....you southerners! Obama a "light-skinned" African-American who lacked a "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Harry Reid Not cool but not a racist put down either. "You can't shuck and jive at a press conference." Andrew Cuomo on Obama Not a putdown but too racial for my blood. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Joe Biden Neither racist nor a put down. "I forgot Obama was black tonight for an hour." Chris Matthews, inspired by how well Obama had handled himself. Not a racist put down. You really don't know the difference between a racist put down, a put down and a racial comment, do you? Its as I thought. how come whenever I hear about the GOP caucus, I only see white faces? How come when I turn on MSNBC I only see white faces? When did MSNBC become a political party.....or do you consider the GOP a media outlet? While most blacks vote Democrat, there are black Republicans and black conservatives, some of them pretty prominent figures. Really.....what percent of the party? The liberal media continually stresses that the GOP is "all white" to try to keep blacks from going off the reservation. It works for a lot, I recall Whoopi Goldberg asked McCain if she'd be enslaved if he were elected. How pathetically ridiculous is that? She was joking.....or did you think she wasn't smart enough to know better? Meanwhile, Democrats actively work to keep most blacks poor and ignorant and dependent on the Democratic party. Take for example, the killing of the DC opportunity school voucher program. Give it up Brumar.......you're skating on thinner and thinner ice.
