Obama: McCain “cynical” not but probably not racist. As far as he knows. For certain.
(The) McCain campaign claimed that Mr Obama had “played the race card” by warning that the Republican would try to scare voters about how Mr Obama looked unlike “all those other presidents on the dollar bills” – all white men.
It’s a little tortured sitting out there like that, isn’t it? I tried pairing subjects and objects: McCain’s claim, Obama’s card, a warning Republican scaring voters about what Obama looks unlike.
So here it is in linear fashion. Transracial candidate Obama has been in the habit of telling people that “they” are going to try to scare “you” about “him” being “different.” Unlike all those dead white men (who also – and this may prove critical – have small ears) on the face of US currency.
Recently he sharpened his warning to “you” that “they” were George Bush and John McCain. The latter of whom, possibly resenting being tarred with the most toxic possible characterization in modern culture during a presidential election campaign, protested.
The cynical, earist bastard.
Prolly had summat to do with his ears
*snerk* In so many ways, the man almost begs to be taunted. It occurred to me the other day as I read/heard someone discussing Obama as “thin-skinned” that I would loved to have seen what the JOPA would’ve done to that poor man if he’d somehow managed to join the Navy.
Then again, perhaps not. I’m really not into blood and gore.
Come on, LEX, don’t beat around the bush, tell us how you REALLY feel about the Obamasiah. BTW, hit http://www.ObamaCures.com for a GREAT
poster with pictures comparing a young fighter-pilot McCain with a young Muslim-robed Obama.
Obama is desperate to make this campaign about the elephant in the room – race. If he’s elected, it’s because America has become enlightened! If not, it’s because America is irredeemably racist.
If he is elected, America loses. If he’s not, we win. Got nothing to do with race.
But it’s all he’s got.
Speaking of The Obamanon’s ears… have all y’all seen this? “No one makes fun of my ears! NO ONE!! Not even the press!”
Prince Charles also has large silly ears. Prince Charles is also silly. General McChrystal (SP?) also has large silly ears, but he himself is not silly, being a Marine. Though if I were his boss I’d order him to grow some hair on the sides of his head, up to the maximum length limit.
I remember the second W. inaugural, and how cold the Marine bandsmen looked, and how the female bandsmen got to cheat by having their hair long enough to warm their ears.
As a person “Challenged by Ears”® I think heartless and cruel of you to even bring up this subject in relation to the Presidential candidates.
My whole life has been an uphill struggle for equality with the normally eared. I remember the names, “Dumbo” and “Rubber Ears”. And now this.
I wander through life looking like a Volkswagen Bug with both doors open. I try to laugh along when my father tells the story of futilely taping my ears back when I was a baby. I know people stare when I wear a ballcap. But I have a dream. I dream of a day when all the little children are not judged by the size and shape of their ears but by the content of their character….
Or maybe I’ll just give in and have ear reduction surgery.
He, his campaign, his mouthpieces. and his enablers in the MSM and not so MS like moveon, etc. will abide ZERO criticism of the candidate. Smells like intimidation.
B.O.H. has come to expect this kid glove treatment after vanquishing the Wicked With of Little Rock. Helluva way to have an election year race, ain’t it?
While I expected this I’m surprised it came so early. What they are saying and implying is that those of us who don’t support Obama are racists. If we don’t like him or his change express we must be.
I say B.S. The presumptive candidate has turned presumptuous….
‘Mander had a good post up a couple weeks ago, I suggest folks really contemplate it:

McCain racist?
Now think about that Rev. Wright and all the “Amen, brothers!” the congregation must have mouthed a hundred times each and every Sunday. But not Barry, right?

ASM, you should see my lips….
Reminds me of the transsexual appearance kerfuffle over at Say Uncle’s place, a coupla days ago.
I’ll not refuse to vote for Bob Barr because he has lips like mine, but because he did not check the chamber after dropping the magazine, that time he had the un-intentional discharge.
If you can’t trust a man with a pistol, you can’t trust him with nuclear weapons.
I am more worried about the despicable racism displayed by many of Obamessiah’s voters who are voting FOR him only because of half his racial composition.
Yup, John, and they are the stupidest of all possible racists. The rational racists in China are laughing at us.
His arrogance will turn people against him. I’m really getting tired of this, especially after another one of his recent “winning” quotes:
“I don’t think it’s accurate to say that my comments have nothing to do with race,” Obama said. “Here’s what I was saying… that I don’t come out of central casting when it comes to presidential races — for a whole range of reasons: I’m young, I’m new to the national scene, my name is Barack Obama, I am African American, I was born in Hawaii, I spent time in Indonesia.”
b2 – outstanding.
My sister made fun of my ears once.
ONCE.
Er, Justthisguy, I hate to point this out, but Gen. McChrystal is in the Army, not the Marines.
Big difference. Ask me how I know.
