So far on this board and in just the past 24 hours Obama has been called a 'character', a 'butcher', and 'murderer', and now a 'racist'.Threads here. Rabble-ObamaRacist quote: Michelle - So hopefully this explanation clears up for you why some babblers feel that Obama's reaction to this is not only inadequate, but even racist
Rabble-ObamaButcher.etc And he's not even President yet. I think he's getting so much...is hate too strong a word?...because people expected Clinton to get the nomination, and so they invested so much hope and energy into what they thought she represented. Things like advancing feminism, breaking the glass ceiling, things like that. Then along comes this smooth talkin' dude and he wins the nomination by doing something so nefarious. He gets more votes... Clinton was a paid-in-full member of the established power elite, she just didn't have a member, if you will. Obama is the real deal. And frankly calling an African American a racist is pretty low. [ 08 July 2008: Message edited by: RationalThought ]

No, that's not it. There are few Clintonites here. Actually, the Obama-haters are far-left purists who need to hide their actual political allegiances. They need to hide them because otherwise, people might say: "That was tried and failed disastrously!" So, you won't find those people telling you who DOES represent positive political choice in the United States. Instead, they'll be all over Obama, but not McCain, because he doesn't stand for the destruction of the United States. Like they do.
