If I see anyone in here spewing or defending Nazi bullshit, I will call you on it

[XemaSab]

Yeah, Obama's black. Most of us are totally over it.

Yeah, Obama's got the black vote sewn up. Maybe you should think about why that is before you shoot your damn mouth off.

He's got a lot of white support not because of some massive outpouring of white guilt, but because he's a great candidate. Yes, I think having the public face of the United States look more like America is a good thing, but that's just a perk. If you have a problem with having a black president, that's your problem.

I'm laying it down right here: If I see you posting racist filth, I'll kick your ass.

[JVS]

1. Word!

[gabeana]

2. Good becaue there is a lot of it

but remember you have to be carefull because according to some of our Clinton supporters here any criticism against Hillary or her female supporters = you are a "sexist"

[roguevalley]

14. good. I'm sick of name calling. Someone just called someone

else's dad dumb. I am sick about this kind of stuff.

[nomorenomore08]

3. YES! Whup those bastards!

The fact that people are on here actually defending the words of Ferraro (and Billy Bob Clinton, for that matter) turns my stomach.

[not_too_L8]

4. I like it...k&r...n/t

[Danger Mouse]

5. Damn straight. K + R.

[Howardx]

6. "I'll kick your ass."

over the internet.

[shadowknows69]

13. I believe her

[quinnox]

7. Yes, its standard procedure

Among Obama supporters. If you don't like Obama and won't accept Him as your personal savior and think he is a weak nominee you are a white sheet racist.

[Danger Mouse]

12. Oh bullshit. That's not what the OP says at all.

If you're denying that there's racism in the anti-Obama crowd, then you're not looking.

[theHandpuppet]

25. Which is probably what Ferraro was alluding to anyway, to some extent

I believe know what she was getting at but she explained herself very poorly.

[pleah]

28. You nailed it and you will be crucified for it.

!

[cliffordu]

42. IF the sheet fits........

[emilyg]

61. An Obama supporter told me to take

my sheet to bed with me. Now who's racist???

[mathewsleep]

8. remember, obama is half black.

or if you're an optimist; half white.

[mathewsleep]

11. ^that was a joke, by the way.

[nomorenomore08]

17. Let's hope the American people are optimists, then. And have a sense of humor.

:spank:

[XemaSab]

20. Maybe it's the other way around

:hide:

:P

[mathewsleep]

21. the way white people have fucked up this world...

you're right.

[Breeze54]

75. Look... many people have fucked up but that statement is BS!

Stop the hate mongering!!! :grr:

Stop painting all with your broad brush... cripes.

I thought it was all about hope, isn't it?

Then let's start acting like it.

[rucky]

67. I'm laughing on the inside. n/t

[Skidmore]

9. WORD! Too!

K&R

[shadowknows69]

10. Some of our DUers have reached new lows defending Ferraro

I knew someone would eventually play the sick "reverse racism" card but I expected it to be the other side.

[Liberal Dose]

24. No such thing as reverse racism. Only racism. But you can't tell them anything. nt

[golddigger]

32. Yeah well bullshit, Ferraro? This the same supporters who were outraged

over Donnie McClurkin?

Donnie McClurkin fun facts:A Bush supporter, McClurkin performed for the president at the Republican National Convention 4yrs ago. "There is a moral aspect that was overwhelming a part of Bush's appeal," said McClurkin, who also appeared in Michigan with Bush during the campaign.

Shortly there after, he's quoted on the CBN (Pat Robertson's organization) website saying, "I'm not in the mood to play those who are trying to kill our children."

So now gays are trying to kill our children. Where was your fucking outrage then. Obama played the Evangelicals in SC. So take your self righteous bullshit and stick it.

[shadowknows69]

43. I was plenty outraged by McClurkin and said so in this forum

[golddigger]

56. Thank you for that. My problem with Obama has nothing to do with his skin color

I just don't like him, being if he is white, orange or green. But that said, if he is the nominee he has my vote. And some of you here might not like it,but it will be a combined ticket.

[cbayer]

15. I would hope you would apply that to posts like this. It's disgusting.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Preach!

:D

[BlackVelvet04]

18. LOL......

wow, you're a real tough guy sitting behind your keyboard threatening people. I'm impressed.

You don't know why people vote the way they do, only the person voting does and some of them don't even know themselves.

[XemaSab]

26. I'm actually a woman

But yeah, I'm tough. :D

[Thurston Howell III]

30. You're obviously showing your sexism thinking someone is male at this

forum! What's the matter? Do you think only men can type on a keyboard?? That's so typical for you Billary supporters!

[0007]

19. Egads. I'm indeed happy to see you're giving perks. And you do

indeed sound very Sirius to me.

[Buzz Clik]

22. Kick.

[Dinger]

23. We Have Moderators For That, Don't We? (nt)

[TahitiNut]

27. Most of the time.

:dunce:

[Thurston Howell III]

29. Nice post Hitler.

Just kidding. I agree with you.

You go!

44. I'm a Type 4.

Just can't remember what it means, except that I'm the best, hee hee.

[Laelth]

57. We're all awesome when healthy; all bad when unhealthy.

The system is very non-judgmental.

I am a Type 1. Sux to be me; trust me. ;)

[whatchamacallit]

33. You know Hill supporters have gone off the deep end when they're defending Geraldine Ferraro

They should be running away from her and her comments as fast as they can, but Noooo, many Hill supporters think she's right on. Makes me wanna puke...

[Danger Mouse]

34. the latent racism...boils to the surface...

[whatchamacallit]

40. Yep.

[mculator]

35. hillary is a woman

"she's just in this position because her husband fooled around on her"

-Chris Matthews

[Danger Mouse]

37. chris matthews is a stupid douchebag.

and so is ferraro.

[golddigger]

58. Yeah, it looks like sexism is alive and well too.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

36. Don't forget to look for the ruses

like people saying Obama is a Muslim or closet Muslim. For many, I think it is merely a smokescreen for racism, because if you ask the folks that make these claims, they will tell you that all Muslims in this country are black or brown skinned-the blacks from here, the brown skinned from overseas, and that they should all be shipped out.

It is very sad that there is a lot of prejudice against Islam in this country. We are accused of being terrorists--and yet it is "good Americans" who firebomb mosques and destroy Muslim property. I still recall when a brick was thrown through the window of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Arlington TX. Attached to the brick was note that said, "Get Out, Sand N-----rs".

[Danger Mouse]

41. i think the 'sand n-----' thing is very telling...

and very sad...
these kinds of attitudes even exist on du. i want to see Barack Obama win, to spite these sorts of thoughts and irrational hatred.
i, for once, embrace my muslim brothers and sisters. :hug:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

49. thanks

I appreciate it. I think it is important for folks here to realize this.

[Danger Mouse]

50. me too. i think we need to expose ALL bigotry to the light of truth...

and let it perish there.

[XemaSab]

48. Amen, and thanks for bringing this up

You're totally right, that's another bigoted attack, and we shouldn't put up with that for one second either.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

51. thank you

I'm trying to let DUers here know (if they don't already) about this--and that Muslims are not all alike, and are definitely not all terrorists.

[XemaSab]

55. I had two Muslim roommates in school

One was half Malaysian, the other one Bosnian. Neither one wore a head scarf, and you'd *never* know they were Muslim unless they told you.

There are as many different kinds of Muslims out there as Christians. :)

[melody]

38. Same here n/t

[Catherina]

39. Word.

[Danger Mouse]

45. Katrina was EVIDENCE of the racism still prevalent in America...

some of the horrible things I heard directed at black people during that period in time made my soul ache. I remember how much Kanye West was lambasted for saying that George Bush doesn't like black people. You know what, he was fucking RIGHT.
People just want to PRETEND that we waved a magic wand and made racism go away.

[TexasLady]

52. dammit

catherina...I can never ever ever shake off the pain and OUTRAGE I felt during and esp. after Katrina..your pic makes me tear up.
just ..dammit.

[ananda]

46. Race is an issue in this campaign.

That's about it.

It's not the -only- issue, though.

I'm not even sure it's the most important
issue.. it probably isn't.

Issues are issues.. they're just there.

It would be very nice if the critical problems
and issues facing us would actually be addressed
and dealt with.. instead of subjected to endless
rhetoric, diversion, and propaganda tactics.

[MyNameGoesHere]

47. He's Black! Damn and i just thought he was boring and uninspiring. n/t

79. i was asked to change it.

So censuring is alive and well and probably the purges will begin against anyone not supporting the one and only true GOD. Barack <ack> Obama. All worship him, now chant "GoBama".

[TexasLady]

54. what the FUCK is THAT?

[golddigger]

59. The same goes for posting sexist filth, I'm laying it down here.

[Window]

60. K/R.

:kick:

[Shine]

62. You go, girl!

:applause:

[MagsDem]

63. He is pathetically unqualified

What is racist about saying that? No, the Nazism crap here is from BO supporters that pretend acknowledging that the guy is pathetically unqualified means you must be a racist.

And I'M laying it down right here -- I'm going to call you on playing the race card, and kick YOUR ass everytime I see it.

[XemaSab]

64. Do you think he's pathetically unqualified because he's black?

Be honest.

[Bright Eyes]

65. I'm with you!

[knixphan]

66. I got Xema's back.

Si Se Puede.

[Crooked Moon]

68. you should perhaps consider

calming the fuck down.

this bullshit of seeing a racist anywhere someone has the unmitigated gall to disagree with you on the function and ripple effects of race in an historical election such as this one is an attempt to bully people into silence.

[XemaSab]

69. Sorry

When I see racism it makes me angry.

People defending Ferraro's indefensible comments are either racists or are blind.

This whole anti-affirmative-action, white people are the REAL victims card, at this point in the campaign? It's totally inappropriate, especially from a woman who herself was an affirmative-action recipient.

Way to pull the ladder up after yourself, Geraldine. :eyes:

I think both sides are slinging some shit, and the racism and sexism cards are two of those pieces of shit, but THIS... this is the real deal and I am PISSED that there are Hillary supporters here trying to defend it.

[Catherine Vincent]

70. ...

:eyes:

[Jillian]

71. WHO are you calling a Nazi?

Maybe someone outta kick your ass.

[XemaSab]

74. To be specific:

If you think Obama's supporters, en masse, are likely to start a riot, then that's pretty bigoted. If you don't see a problem with Ferraro's comments today, yesterday, and in 1988, you might also be a bigot. If you are pouting and moaning that all the black people are voting for Obama then I feel comfortable calling you a bigot. Saying that Obama is courting the OJ Simpson vote is bigoted for sure, as is suggesting that he's a closet Muslim.

I'm sure I've seen other examples, but off the top of my head, these are the people I feel pretty confident in calling Nazis. :)

Oh, and on edit: having a picture portraying Obama as a monkey is totally, 100% bigoted.

[Generic Brad]

72. You're kicking ass? I'm taking names

And then I am putting those names on ignore.

It sure got awfully quiet around here all of a sudden.

[XemaSab]

73. .

:thumbsup:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

78. hell, yeah.

[Robeson]

80. Good luck with that XemaSab, ....

...while I certainly sympathize with you, I'm not putting a lot of stock in GD P. The discourse in this forum has descended to the level of the food fight scene in "Animal House".

[bridgit]

81. mmm'kay...
