So stunningly wrong. The key to stability in Iraq is convincing the Shia that it is not in their interests to enact the revenge against the Sunni fucks who murdered them for decades. Innocent Shroomerites who read that lost brain cells without benefit of a trip. Dumb.

Wife unproud unless we can nominate a Negro. Oh, he is a hateful boy. There is boat loads more. Why do you say that I can't use the evidence of Wright? Dobson has nothing to do with McCain but Wright is cited, by the Barry himself, as a huge influence and is oft quoted in his n=books. Dobson? I. Don't. Think. So. You'll notice that I haven't gone all Farrakhan on Barry. That's because he has no more connection to the Obamessiah than Dobson or Hagee does to McCain. Wright, his wife, Ayers, Doern? All fair game and, might I add, telling indeed.
Outside of the embarrassment at the American people's lack of being fluent in other languages (first I've heard of this even though the lack of language skills possessed by Americans is woeful compared to the rest of the world) I don't see anything here that can be attributed directly to Obama. BTW Dobson endorsed McCain...an endorsement that McCain happily accepted at first. You are attempting to impose a "said by proxy" double standard. I suggest we stick to discussing what each of the candidates actually said themselves. And what is wrong with the French? The completely idiotic and inane days of 'Freedom Fries' are long gone. In fact El Presidente (my nickname for Bush) is all gushing about how great France is now that they elected Sarkozy. Hating the French is not required anymore to be considered a 'true patriot'...didn't you get the memo?

Buehler...the Shi'a are the majority. They have the power. In fact Al-Sadr and his people have been playing nice for longer than the Sunnis have. You are living in the 2003-2004 Iraq reality...you're the one in the psychedelic mushroom induced hallucinatory time warp.
I see more than one conservative has trouble with time lines.

wtf are you talking about? Of course someone who has some black in his genes can be president.
Its a tired, unsubstantiated argument that somehow his skin color will deny him the presidency.
You can cry racism all day long, doesnt make it true.

What you are talking about isn't 'thinking', but rather feeling: "do you really feel a black(?) man is gonna be our next president?"
Because when you appeal to racism as an argument, you are appealing to people's base emotions, not rational thoughts.
Expect to be manipulated over Obama's race, and other meaningless 'issues' this election. You clearly already have been, for making such a collectivist argument that republicans are racist. See any irony in that?
As long as people keep allowing themselves to be manipulated, emotional things like this are sadly going to remain the election deciding issues .
And as long as they remain the election deciding issues, they will continue to have the bulk of the coverage in the mainstream...
Vicious, isn't it.
