   Jimmy I find it absolutely amazing that in this day and age, the ugly faces of racism popping up left and right. And no this is not the RACE CARD, this is fact. The only difference is the lynchmob are wearing suits and not hoods. You should really prepare yourself for Barack becoming President. If you watched the Republican Convention and was not ashamed of the behavior of the speakers, that in itself speaks volumes. Watching 72y/o McCain try to come across as some agent of change last night was the final laugh. Watching him attempt to bring up 911 and insight fear into american’s was borderline crazy. The reality is Economy, Healthcare and how we are going to survive are the issues. And yes America has issues right now. This McBush war should have ended 24 hours before it started. America does not need a X-War Hero. America needs a leader with Intelligence and Will to get us out of this mess. Unfortunately John Mc Cain is not him. 25 years in congress and “Drill Baby Drill” is still on his agenda. Give me a break.

   Rod, as I noted this morning, the only actual racism is coming from the left, as two network that program to black viewers decided not to cover the Republican convention as they did the Democratic convention. I couldn’t help but notice that you made the accusation just now, but provided no instances of racism which strikes me as typical of most progressive complaints.

   They exists largely in your own minds.

   Jimmie,
   I really don’t expect you or anyone who voted for Bush and/or thinks McCain is an agent to get it. Whats fascinating is that Obama hit the deck running about change and now McCain opens his speach with “a change is coming”. The night prior, I watched “congressmen” behave like “Klansmen” on national television. They didn’t have the good sense to be embarrassed. I rasicm is not in OUR MINDS, its in others hearts and they’re attempting to justify it by calling it politics. You commented earlier that Obama should play by the rules. He’s playing by the rules at were created before WE even had the right to vote. Its only a problem for republicans, because he’s going to win.

   Rod, again I’m asking for details. What examples of racism did you see?

   I got the same feeling Rod is descibing re the racism in the air at the rnc and I am a white female whom was undecided until a couple of days ago and definately last night I did not feel his sincerity at all I should not be able to tell you are reading from a telepromp every word to me it wasnt from the heart and thats what I felt from the dnc sincerity in everyone whom spoke.
   for me it was the mood the smerks I was emabarrased as a white women

   Okay, so you got a feeling? What evidence do you have, I ask for the third time.

   But you’re going to quibble at how he gives a speech from a teleprompter? John McCain has never been a great orator when it comes to written speeches. His authenticity is unquestioned by anyone who has paid even a little bit of attention to him.

   Then again, Barack Obama is great at giving a speech. But does his ability to make you believe that his canned speech isn’t canned make him authentic? No, not if you’re thinking logically. Off a teleprompter, he’s a stammering gaffe machine, as we’ve seen numerous times thus far.

   Jimmie,
   I can’t explain it to you because your mind is not open to receive it. I’m not talking about air or atmosphere. Go and educate your own mind. Roll back the tapes to Martin Luther King speaking. Watch the white people who are speaking against King for his cause. Look at McCain’s squad, and then tell me if you see any difference. You wont. The only difference will be the “N” word is not being used. MLK and Obama cause is very similar. The difference is times have changed and the stakes are higher. MLK wanted change for minorities. Obama what change for a better America. For the record MLK started organizing in communities first which lead to a much needed change. Republicans are fighting change because they are scared. They talking reform, because they know old politics wont do. I promise you, Obama will be the next President. If he’s not, God help us all.

   You focus on “Obama makes great speaches”. MLK motivated people with his speaches and at the time white people said he was a cult leader. This Country needs more than someone sitting with an ink pen. Americans need someone to motivate the people to want to do things differently. The change does not just come from the WHITE HOUSE, but also needs to come from within. the change will not take place if the people do not believe. McCains followers are of that OLD politics and old thought and old ways. It simly doesn’t work. Obama is intelligent enough to make a difference. He brags about being congress for 25 years. Well why did this youngster have to talk about change before he realized its what Americans want and need.
   Jimmie – we can go on and on, but im confident enough to know that we can agree to disagree. If you really believe this country needs a change as McCain represented last night. Ask yourself he plans to deliver it. To do the same thing over and over and expect a different result is insane.

   Rod, you really don’t know a darned thing about John McCain if you think he’s a follower of the “old ways” of politics. He not nicknamed “Maverick” because he really likes the movie “Top Gun”.

   And what of Obama’s old ways? What policies has he put forth that aren’t rehashed quasi-socialist claptrap from the 1960s or 1970s or Fabian utopianism that was bad before World War II?

   It’s not enough for either candidate to say “Change!”. They have to have some track record for it. I disagree strongly with John McCain on many issues and have no been shy about saying so here. But at least he’s acted on the mantra.

   As for your contention that I focused on Obama’s ability to speak, I was responding to the comment above on McCain’s speechmaking and his authenticity. Okay, so Obama makes folks believe. In what? Hope? Hope doesn’t do anything. Hope is passive. Change? Change to what? Change in what direction? He’s not even begun to answer those questions yet.

    By the by, there more more than a few white people who were right there with King marching and fighting for the same things he fought for. White churches stand out. You know, those very same religious people that the progressive left fears so very much today.

    The big opposition to King’s movement came from within the Democratic party. The Democrats have yet to fess up to exactly why it felt it needed to oppose civil rights, especially in the South. I am rather surprised that Democrats today haven’t insisted on a real examination of what happened in the past of the progressive movement to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

    do you think that was a racist statement?

    Jimmie,
    I can appreciate you knowing some of your history, but the text books are not the same.
    This is where you and I disagree. You vote according to track record. MLK had no record when minorities put their trust in him. The record was developed along the way and became history. I don’t know much about John McCain, but the things I’ve seen have not convinced me that his so called experience is going to be any different than what we already have. Obama worked down in the trenches to help whoever was there and wanted his help. MLK worked in the ghettos and hoods to motivate minorites and let them know we should have a better life. I understand the democrats position during the King era along with the Kennedy factor. I understand that black people voted republican for many years (in the blind). The reason I say your mind is closed, is you say “Hope doesn’t do anything”. Black people had hope when we didn’t have the right to vote. We didn’t have to ask anyone to give it to us. If it wasn’t for MLK having Hope, this opportunity for Obama would not be possible. I’m glad King didn’t let racism take his hope away. I recorded both the republican and democratic conventions. I promise you, Obama spells out his plan in more detail than McCain.
13. Jimmie says:

    September 5, 2008 at 18:25

    Rod, again, you’re not representing the facts correctly. Obama didn’t “work in the trenches”. He spent time as a community organizer until he saw that he didn’t have any real power that way, which is when he went to law school and started his political career. His quest hasn’t been to help, else he wouldn’t have had so many “present” votes in the Illinois Senate.

    Obama’s tradition isn’t that of Martin Luther King, Jr who believed with all his heart in one day bringing about a color-blind society. He’s been exactly the obvious, using his background gotten from Saul Alinksy to stoke old grievances and produce very little.

    I’ll give you one example. One of Obama’s big victories as a community organizer was in helping folks who lived in a very poor complex called Altgeld Gardens (even though some residents dispute that he did very much at all). But when he left for the soothing academia of Harvard, those folks were still living in a slum, mired in poverty. How, exactly, did he help them to a better life?

    In addition, Obama’s worked very closely with a group called ACORN which has most recently had several of its members convicted of election fraud. Did that help any poor people to a better life?

    For all his talk, Obama’s produced next to nothing in terms of helping folks work their way out of their poverty or misery. MLK eschewed the sort of fame that Obama has sought for most of his adult life so that he could devote himself to what he saw as his life’s work – a society where a person would be judged on their merits and not their skin color. Barack Obama has a long, long way to go to live up to that example.

    ms dallas – I don’t know about it, but I’ll look it up. Did that happen during the Republican Convention, because that’s the accusation you made.

    Jimmie,
    Your facts are not compeltely in order either. Also consider the source on where you obtain information. In closing I will say, to this day American has NO reason to be in Iraq. John McCain wants us there for 100 years. He speaks of cutting taxes which is impossible to reduce this rediculous deficit. He speaks nothing on economy and only about a war and his capitivity of nearly 40years ago. Also, he didn’t find MLK worthy of a National Holiday and the man died for civil rights. Had he not been killed, he would have been president of the US by now. You say Obama has done next to nothing. I can’t wait until he takes over the WhiteHouse to continue doing next to nothing.

    Jimmie in my second statemente I just wanted your output on the comment you can view it yourself @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhZEJiu03MU

    if those kind of statements are allowed in his campaign what kind of person is he really? If he didnt know that statement was going to be made I feel like he should have pointed that out to his audience and the media

    again I just want your output
16. Jimmie says:

    September 5, 2008 at 19:21

    Rod, where are my facts incorrect? Again, evidence, please. You’ve made a lot of assertions and, when asked for proof, have offered none.

    You say that we have no business in Iraq. I say they clearly violated a cease-fire which gives up more than ample legal reason to be there. John McCain did not say that we would be in Iraq 100 years. That fib was debunked almost immediately after it came out. You’re welcome to find the evidence for that here, in his own words at the time he made the “hundred years” statement.

    Belief is fine, man. Have all the beliefs you want. But at some point you will need fact to back it up or your life is going to be very, very frustrating.

    ms dallas – I’ll go find that quote in my own. If Keith Olbermann told be it was raining, I’d feel confident in going outside without an umbrella and staying dry for a long, long time.

    Okay, now that I’ve seen it, I can certainly see how someone who didn’t know anything about Tiger Woods except what they see could construe that as a racist statement. However, Tiger himself has said that he is not black but a mix of many races. For that he was pilloried by black activists as a “traitor”. So the racial comparison only works on the most superficial skin tone level.

    However, what I believe he was saying clearly is that Barack Obama has been treated by the media, much as Tiger Woods has been, as simply unbeatable. More often than not, stories about tournaments where Tiger competes have come down to “Who will finish second?” because it’s assumed that Tiger will win. Barack Obama has been treated exactly the same way by the MSM since he won the Iowa Caucuses and I think that’s the comparison that Bellavia was making.

    Though it’s fair to note that a prominent Democrat also likened Obama to Tiger Woods in an explicitly racial way without protest.
