    so what is your point, why do you continually say blacks vote for him because he's black, even though he's half white. what's your point. explain please, because that looks to me like black people are to stupid to realize he's not black although throughout the history of this country, anyone who is half black/half whatever has been accecpted by the black community as black.

    the only reason they posted in this thread is to hijack it. what other reason could there possibly be?

    Not that I have become or am becoming an Obama supporter, but in light of Hillary Clinton's increasingly vitriolic and fearmongering anti-China rhetorics in the last couple of months, this reluctant one-time Hillary supporter is now off the bandwagon. I am fully aware of the tactics of election polemics, but enough is enough.

    ^very amusing that you jump off the Hill-country express for negative campaigning and attacks considering the kind of anti-Obama garbage you were posting months ago in your self-proclaimed campaign to "nail" him on the BBS

    Apple and orange, Sammy.

    First of all, "China" is not a candidate. Second, the stuff I post re Obama is not made out of thin air.

    yeah, it was made up out of you copying and pasting chain emails and random blog comment rantings from various right wing nutjob websites, accusing him of being a gay hooker, a closet muslim, etc etc etc.

    Thin air would be an overstatement - it was made up out of thein air and given the finshing touches of of xenophobia and racism from the right wing hate machine.

    But once hilary kept up her vitriolic attacks - it was too much for you! Ha ha ha.

    That makes you a ONE ISSUE voter and one issue voters suck IMO. It is clear that you only care about China and not all of the other important extermely important topics like the war, the economy, healthcare, etc..

    then i guess Andrew Sullivan is a racist as well, since he'd made clear that the most important "change" obama would bring to the presidency is his face.

    How much difference are there between Obama and Hillary? It is not like he is going for Mccaine. There are many people who could go for either Hillary or Obama, this single issue is the tie-breaker.

    Uh, what the F* are you talkin 'bout? Obama's sexual orientation, whatever it is, and his religious affiliation are never of interest to me. You've been intoxicated, Sammy. Not really surprising.

    If your much revelled US media is part of right wing hate machine, then you are right, lol

    Again, "China" is not a candidate in US election. Keep in mind Obama is not innocent of mud slinging. Hillary had her chance. She blew it with her very much misguided political grandstanding on issues I am concerned. To each his own, Sammy. I am sure you have yours.

    Nope, you are wrong. My decision is not made lightly and it's not just based on one issue. To reiterate, I was a very reluctant Hillary supporter to begin with, my defense of her had a lot to do with my disgust with main stream media's overly biased coverage of Obama and Hillary in two different directions.

    That isn't what TJ said. TJ said we'd never have heard of Obama if he were white.

    There is a difference.

    His quote isn't racist against anyone since significant portions of every group have voted for Obama. His statement merely means that if some of the ones who have voted against him based on race wouldn't have done so if he were white.

    It doesn't attempt to demean one's accomplishments to only being because of skin color.

    That quote and TJ's quote aren't even in the same neighborhood. The first quote only lays blame at some voters and not all. It may be incorrect or not, but it isn't racist.

    Tj's quote ignores all accomplishments of an accomplished individual, and attributes all success purely to race, and no other factor.

    The difference is huge, and TJ's is blatantly racist.

    Transient curiosity over an occasional tabloid du jour is not the same as sustained interest in serious issues. You see, Sammy, this is where sense of humor comes in handy.

    I see the thread more as two differing factions uniting against the poison infecting our nation.
