    James Taranto in the WSJ:


    • "Even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us--the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of 'anything goes.' Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America--there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America--there's the United States of America."--state senator Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention, July 27, 2004

    • "In the video message to his supporters, [President] Obama said his administration's success depends on the outcome of this fall's elections and warned that if Republicans regain control of Congress, they could 'undo all that we have accomplished.' 'This year, the stakes are higher than ever,' he said, according to a transcript of his remarks provided by Democratic officials. 'It will be up to each of you to make sure that young people, African Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again. . . .' "--Washington Post, April 26, 2010

    the president apparently missed the post-racial memo.

    Thank mc mark.

    Now, that's the end of this stupid thread.

    Actually it never began. Just another lame thread by basso.

    And really

    New registrations favor Democrats

    Team Obama registered millions of new voters in 2008 (some estimates put it at 15 million) Mostly younger, women, African Americanas and others. Why would he not tap them for the mid terms? Please point out how that is racist.

    It's racist for Obama to point out the demographics of his supporters but it's perfectly fine for conservatives to claim black people are voting the straight black ticket.

    yes, i have no country anymore. alas, i've been ousted.

    but, hark...i'm irish-american, which means i'm really not white so i guess i'm ok. i just can't vote republican or attend NASCAR events. neither of which i'm counting as much of a loss at this point.

    Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.
