Obama Surrogate Accuses Romney Of Stoking Racial Fears (http://nation.foxnews.com/2012-presidential-race/2012/07/23/obama-surrogate-accuses-romney-stoking-racial-fears)

Yep, flood the airwaves with State Senator Lucas's voice and vitriol. It's sure to give Obama the boost he's been looking for.

[Yonivore]

My favorite exchange:


HOST: Do you really believe now that this all about race?

LUCAS: I absolutely believe it's all about race and for the first time I've convinced my children finally that racism is alive and well.
Racism is so rampant in America, Senator Lucas was only able to "convince" her children of its existence by explaining how it's demonstrated in the context of a Presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney? O...kay but, wouldn't racism be fairly evident to her children if, in fact, it is as bad as we're being told?

Now, I don't know Senator Lucas's family; perhaps her children are adopted and not African-American but, that would be the only thing that would explain such a statement.

[jack sommerset]

Wow, this is their choice to represent them in DC.

LUCAS: I absolutely believe it's all about race and for the first time I've convinced my children finally that racism is alive and well.

I believe she believes that whacked out comment. God bless

the black bachman?

the black bachman?:lol

[jack sommerset]

Is it possible Senator Lucas is doing what her boss is telling her to do or is she going solo with this one. God bless

[ElNono]

What does God tells you about this one, jack?

Ron bless.

[ElNono]

the black bachman?

:lmao

[boutons_deux]

Gecko and his surrogates have been slinging "Obama unAmerican" and other xenophobic/racist dog whistles.

Repugs knowl they must get out theor base racist/xenophobic/"Christian" hater vote.

[jack sommerset]

What does God tells you about this one, jack?

Ron bless.

Ill speak for myself on this one, brother. It tells me Obama is real nervous about losing Virginia. Obama said if they win that state they win the election. There is little to get excited about when Obama is concerned. I think they are trying to get voters excited. Let's see how it plays out but I think she stir excitement up from the wrong candidate. God bless.

[jack sommerset]

the black bachman?

Let's see if the leaders of her party ask her to shut up. God bless

[ElNono]

Let's see if the leaders of her party ask her to shut up. God bless

Did the GOP leadership ask bachman to shut up?

Ron bless.

[ElNono]

Remember when Yoni was a Cracker for Cain!

[Yonivore]

Remember when Yoni was a Cracker for Cain!
And I still would be if he were still in the race. Your point?

[Yonivore]

Let's see if the leaders of her party ask her to shut up. God bless
I hope they leave her alone. We need to hear more of this. It's apparently cathartic for her and definitely illuminating for the rest of us.

[jack sommerset]

Did the GOP leadership ask bachman to shut up?

Ron bless.

Yes. Her reply was they couldn't silence her. God bless

[TeyshaBlue]

the black bachman?

:lol:toast

Im thinking the campaign asked her to do this. God bless

[ElNono]

And I still would be if he were still in the race. Your point?

You would still be a "cracker" or a "supporter"?

[ElNono]

Yes. Her reply was they couldn't silence her. God bless

Bachman sounds like somebody that would say that.

Ron bless.

[Yonivore]

You would still be a "cracker" or a "supporter"?
In my case, what's the difference?

[Yonivore]

Im thinking the campaign asked her to do this. God bless
I don't doubt it.

The campaign thought it was a good idea to attack Romney over Bain Capital, too.

[Wild Cobra]

What else does the left have?

[DarrinS]

It's strange that we are such a racist country, and yet we are the only predominantly white country (or predominantly non-black country, if you prefer) to elect a black president. Why no black presidents or prime ministers in Europe? Hmmm.

[Yonivore]

What else does the left have?
I suppose they could run on Obama's record. :lmao

[Wild Cobra]

I suppose they could run on Obama's record. :lmao
I sure would love to see that!

[Yonivore]

. again with the wrong thread.

[ElNono]

In my case, what's the difference?

You don't know? Or you pretend not to know?

[Yonivore]

You don't know? Or you pretend not to know?
Apparently, I don't see a difference. What's your point?

[boutons_deux]

I don't doubt it.

AGREED!

Attacking Gecko over Bain AND his hidden offshore wealth AND his secret tax returns were and will continue to be excellent, perhaps fatal, attacks.

[ElNono]

It's strange that we are such a racist country, and yet we are the only predominantly white country (or predominantly non-black country, if you prefer) to elect a black president. Why no black presidents or prime ministers in Europe? Hmmm.

We? :lol

You certainly didn't vote a black president in.

[ElNono]

Apparently, I don't see a difference.

But of course you don't.

[Yonivore]

But of course you don't.
Why would I? You're the one trying to make some distinction.

If Herman Cain were the person opposing Barack Obama in the Presidential race, I'd still be a Cracker for Cain. I guess I'm a Cracker for Romney but, other than not having the same alliteration, it doesn't really speak to the issues raised when Cain was still in the running.

Again, are you trying to make a point or are you just being your typical pedantic self?

[DarrinS]

We? :lol

You certainly didn't vote a black president in.


That makes me a racist, right?

And, if I didn't vote for Hillary, I would be a sexist.

[ElNono]

That makes me a racist, right?

I don't know you enough to know if you are.

In Darrin's world though, there would still be no black president in the US.

lol "we"...

[ElNono]

Why would I?

You certainly know the words you choose to use. Spare me the faux innocence... you're not fooling anybody...

[Yonivore]

You've lost me. Seriously. I really don't know what is the point you're trying to make.

[ElNono]

You've lost me.

Of course I did :rolleyes

[Yonivore]

Of course I did :rolleyes
Well, congratulations; I thought you were trying to make a point, though.

[ElNono]

Well, congratulations; I thought you were trying to make a point, though.

It was made. Not concerned if Yoni didn't get it, tbh

[jack sommerset]

You lost me as well. You're leaving something out and you want yoni to guess, I'm guessing. Nevertheless what you are saying doesn't make sense. Sorry if this offends you. God bless

[ElNono]

You've been always lost jack... you still are.

Ron bless.

[Clipper Nation]

Maybe the GOP should stop whipping the rednecks into a frenzy with their parade of white xenophobic neocon candidates and faux-controversies like Obama's "real" birth certificate if they don't want minorities to cry foul, tbh....

Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read. The birther thing was totally blown out. They, being the dems still try to stir the pot with that nonsense. God bless

[jack sommerset]

Sure it does.

You're trolling, again. God bless

You're trolling, again. God bless

I'm not... Ron bless.

Presidential candidates whose eligibility was questioned

Chester A. Arthur
Christopher Schürmann
Charles Evans Hughes
Barry Goldwater
George Romney
Lowell Weicker
Róger Calero
John McCain
Barack Obama

I guess it's only a faux-controversy when that candidate is half black.

[Clipper Nation]

Seriously though, after years of shit like Bush's "illegitimate black child" smear against McCain, the birther crap, the incredibly vapid Palin being chosen as McCain's running mate to pander to women, the rampant Islamophobia, etc., the neocons have no leg to stand on, tbh....

If it only would've stopped while he was a candidate...

Vitriol

Where did you come up with that one? You couldn't have thought that one on your own. In matter in fact you can't think much on your own. Conservative radio tells you how to think.

Which conservative talking head was talking about this today?

Why is it interesting?

That John McCain's status is still "undetermined".


EDIT> And the reason that is not controversial is because McCain is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

So it didn't stop once Barry won the election... okay.

McCain's qualifications were never in doubt, IIRC. The main concern with him was his health, especially in light of who he picked as running mate.

It's a word in the English language that, in my opinion, best characterizes Lucas's spittle-flecked, racist rant.

[Yonivore]

So, you were interested in making a point to everyone else in the thread? Can someone else please enlighten me on the point ElNono was making?

Poor, oppressed whitey.
