Hmmmmmm...

Here we go AGAIN...

Obama and his supporters want to make RACE an issue in this campaign and lay
a guilt trip on ALL blacks that if they don't vote for Obama they are "Uncle
Toms"....

That's not The American Way.

Clinton supporter says she was called 'Uncle Tom'

Aug 25, 2008

DENVER (AP) - A black delegate for Hillary Rodham Clinton says she was
called an "Uncle Tom" by Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, one of Barack
Obama's political mentors.

Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb says Jones made the remarks
Saturday night while discussing her support for Clinton.  She called the
remark "fighting words" and unacceptable.

Jones, who also is black, said Monday that he never uttered the slur.  He
says he referred to Cobb and other Clinton supporters as "doubting
Thomases."

Cobb says that explanation doesn't make sense because she confronted Jones
at the time and he didn't indicate she'd misunderstood.

Are you saying that race isn't an issue in today's USA?

Answer the bloody question.

Is race an issue in the USA of today?

No, he's saying in the party that bills it's self as "diverse" that If
your are not in lock step, your trash. The Jackass party is phony and as
you watch this week if you don't toe the PC company line, you don't get
a place to sit in Denver.

Still 'n all, he gave a very strong resounding speech for someone who was
not really expected to be able to make it this far with that very serious
cancer issue.

'Cause you're a cynic -- not that there's anything wrong with that. Perhaps
there's something wrong with not being a cynic.

Really????  You need to get your ears checked.

I heard lots of DISAPPOINTMENT on Hillary's part -- her speech was all about
her and the women's movement with Obama just dragged in as an afterthought
who "shares our policy goals" -- and no personal endorsement of Barack as to
his experience, character and qualifications to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

Hilariously, Hillary said Michelle will be a Great First Lady -- but NOT
that Obama will be a Great President.

Why do I think you hate liberals .....

You probably should not have watched the Convention, Tanky.   Your mind is
made up, and you seem upset that the other side are a power to be reckoned
with.

I don't "hate" them.
I distrust them.

If you can't see the serious rift in the party I don't know what to tell
you.

Teddy showing up and that whole show was a distraction.

That's politics.

You pay lip service to the manifesto or you're off the ticket.
