Local GOP Group’s Mailing Shows Obama’s Face, Watermelon, Ribs, Fried Chicken on Food Stamps

People sure are stupid sometimes….

The Surge,
You are ridiculous. People like you are leading to the collapse of our GREAT nation. U.S. Citizens are hard working, creative and independent. We’re not a bunch of racist, ignorant, self deceiving kool-aid junkies. You make me ashamed to be an american when you spew your crap in public. The mailer was hateful. You know, I know it, the man on the moon knows it. Buy some character and man up. I wish we could have a face to face meeting with all of you closet hatemongers who probably have no problem going to church and pretending to worship the LORD. If I never meet you face to face, HE will. I hope you’re ready.

“Jake this would have been a good topic had you juxtaposed it with Democratic Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha’s incident. ”
You are childish.
This woman, a president of a GOP group, is a racist bigot. Jake could as well mention the John Lewis statements, the McCain/Palin campaign is playing with fire.

“It clearly wasn’t my intent?” Is she absolutely insane to think that anyone would think otherwise? How insulting and degrading….but had she been the one to receive such a thing with McShame’s face on it, all Holy HE** would be raised by her lil “GOP” groupies. Some of the American women during this campaign have set women’s standards of intelligence back 100 years. Especially the choice for VP…it will take years to recover from the damage she has done in advancing women.

So Clabs, I am childish because I asked Jake to report on BOTH sides of an issue?

Murtha & Fedele are both racist.
Both should be called on it.
“It didn’t mean anything else.”
Come on. If you are going to have the guts to show your racism, then stand by it. Don’t back down becuase the press has called attention to it.
Thank you for reporting this as that is the only way to confront racism, directly with a 100 watt bulb.

Jwench, the problem with what Murtha said was he was stereotyping. Which is wrong on so many levels. He probably cost Obama some votes with those comments. The racism angle in this election has been beaten like a dead horse by democrats. I am half Japanese half black. I am not voting for Obama and I am not a racist.

What does Joe the plumber have to do with this issue? Or is he a racist too now?

He was just stating a fact. I live in Pa. There are parts of this state that would never vote for a black man just because he is black. In his position he could have worded a little differently.

The Surge: “The racism angle in this election has been beaten like a dead horse by democrats.”
Democrats? Are you nuts? Do you have the most basic understanding of the “Southern Strategy” that has propelled the Republican party for decades? Are you so dumb at to realize that in an anonymous vote no one get peer pressured into voting for the black guy?
Again, your fundamental lack of knowledge about basic reality clearly places you in the Republican Party of Ignorance.

JUDASMAC
Racism is not “gratifying” to Republicans, Democrats, Independents, etc.
It’s only gratifying to racists.

I noticed that John McCain rating have gone way down as of today. I truly believe that it is all this negative advertizing he is doing.
And you know, I don’t think John really likes it etiher. I think he is following his campaign and what the party wants.
People don’t want personal attacks, they want to know about policy.
John McCain has to get back into control again and “be John McCain”.

Now Joe the plumber is a racist according to you.
I see from these posts that many of you lack a college education or are so sheltered that you blindly think that anything to the left is inherently good, while everything to the right is evil.
Posted by: The Surge | Oct 17, 2008 9:04:34 AM
No, Joe the Plumber is a tax evading fraud.
Well, if you look at the past few weeks, no wonder we think the right is evil!

typical republican responses here. When something is exposed on your side, show no humility….ATTACK

Folks, her explanation about the food is ridiculous. She is a LIAR and a racist. Sarah Palin and her bold faced pathological lying seems to be the example for these kind of people. They both think we are all morons and will easily accept lies like this. She should be removed from that position without delay. This is horrific.

David…I totally agree….

well, i feel for the two black women who are member of this group.
they live in that community, they sound professional, (so maybe they have been trying to do everything right)educated, raising their children,and trying to be a part of their community, no doubt working,socializing with these people frequently, even considered friends, how do you think they feel today? on said she cried for 45 minutes, so sad.
and once again the question for black people everywhere, who are trying to live right, and do the right thing,who are associating with whites, who think the whites they are associating with are their friends, how many of them will leave home today, and associate with whites who smile in their face, but inside are just a racial slur away from something like this?
for many whites who say they are not racist, and are not prejudice, ok. but I think because of the history of this country and race, many whites have the idea, just ingrained in their psy. they are better than blacks, and that is sometimes where the problem is.
and black people need to stop seeing everything from whites as a true slight.
but with things such as this that continue to come up. I think for the two black who are members of this club, the next club meeting will be a bit hard for them.
I will be glad when the day comes when it comes to race in this country,
we will not need to use the term
“It is time to try and heal”
which no doubt the word that is going around that club today.
we should just make it up in our minds, today, time to really unite, help one another, and heal this country of racism once and for all. it can be done.
the earth is BUT ONE country
and MANKIND its citizens.
america WILL lead the world Spiritually
and healing this race thing will be the beginning,
oh yes, shame on that woman, who thought such was funny-and then in the same breath say it was not racist.

I guess this is no less classy than Obama running an ad showing the scars on John McCain’s face after he had a cancerous mole removed. Guess they were not trying to send a message. Or maybe no less classy as Obama running an add taking Rushes comments way out of context to incite the latino vote against McCain. Face it, both camps are dirty!

This Republican display of blatant racism is toxic and unacceptable. John McCain needs to be questioned about his relationship with his political advisor Richard Quinn, a white supremist. Obama is too much of a class act, as demonstrated throughout this campaign however, to call him on it.
Thank God racists are the minority. Instead of worrying about the color of someone’s skin, how about focusing our concerns on what Republican favoritism for Corporate America instead of Main Street America has done to this country?? Main Street Republicans have been hurt just as much as the Dems by this reckless, unethical governing. We are in this boat together folks, and we need a leader who is going to bring about CHANGE, not more of the same. McCain believes in deregulation, the philosophy that has lead our economy into this monumental stink hole (except for the huge corporations that have gratefully been raking in obscene profits over the years of course). I for one am fed up with it, but apparently there are still millions of people out there that must enjoy the Royal Republican Screw Job!

Nichole,
I am not self hating and I embrace my Japanese heritage as much as I do my African American heritage. They are bot part of my collective identity. That being said, if you truly want to engage in a discussion of otherness and racism you would see that there must be ZERO tolerance. That means being as equality scrutinizing and critical of passive racism such as Murtha’s statement as much as you are of obsequious cases like this one Jake is reporting. I never denied that this was racism. I was simply stating that the point of Jake’s blog would be more effective had he juxtaposed the two incidents.

mainegirl: “Stop being blind and admit the Reps are using race…”
I think you misread what I wrote. I am responding to the unfounded slander that Obama has been harping on the GOP “race baiting.” Obama’s position on racism in this election has been to minimize it – he is running (very successfully) on the real issues not his race and always has been.

Why does everyone have to be racist? Don’t black and white – walk, talk and breathe alike?
I was thught that its what’s inside the person that counts – whether black or white.

What is wrong with your brain? were you drop on your head as a child. You really need to take a good look around, because the change is coming and for the better.

Just goes to show you how some of the McCain supporters are Racist, stuck in the 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, 2000 century, spilling over into 2100 century.
Watermelons, Ribs, Kool Aid, and Chicken
wont help McCain the fail campaign.
John McCain, Sarah Palin days are
number 18… and counting

Len,
Your comments are convoluted and barely rational. Most of those foods you mentioned have their origins in AFRICA – not the South. My African ancestors first came through Delaware. We eat the same type of food in the North. Southern whites were introduced by either african american neighbors or african american slaves to this cuisine and cooking methods.
Those of you in the USA who still hold onto the rhetoric and beliefs of the Confederation should pack your bags and find another country – if anyone will take you. You didn’t learn ANYTHING from the 1860′s, 1930′s or 1960′s. Waste of space…
(I know that’s harsh, but I’m pretty upset. This hatemongering leads to people’s DEATHS – stop playing with fire!)

Okay world, then I am positing that the Murtha incident is racism as well.. In order to combat racism we must look at it in all forms, beyond the framework of Minstrel shows, and the mammy-fication of blacks.

The Surge: “When Obam says things such as
“I don’t look like the other candidates”
“I don’t have the pedigree”
“I have a funny name”
He is injecting a racist discourse into the campaign.”
I suppose you haven’t noticed how the Republicans love to introduce him as Barack HUSSEIN Obama? Or how the entire time he has been running attacks on his experience and “otherness” have been a centerpiece of his opposition?
You are entitled to your opinion, but accusing Obama of injecting race into the campaign by responding to the direct attacks of his opponents is stretching the “help help, I’m being oppressed!” Republican penchant for self-victimization beyond the realms of believability. And, at the risk of sounding elitist, such an absurd stretch frankly makes you look stupid.

Nichole said:
“Racism usually begins in a subtle manner”
You are simply accentuating the point I am making. Racism does not exist in a vacuum. It is not only fertilized by sociopolitical conflict. They are innumerable examples of Obama being a polarizing figure that address this precisely as I am stating. To say that I am “unthinking”is to be dismissive of the fact that you refuse to see any parallels.

The Surge: OK, I dug up the definition for you. How, in any way, do Murtha’s tactless comments meet the definition of racism as you just claimed?
racism: 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Just goes to show you how some of the McCain supporters are Racist, stuck in the 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, 2000 century, spilling over into 2100 century.
Watermelons, Ribs, Kool Aid, and Chicken
wont help McCain’s fail campaign.
John McCain, Sarah Palin days are

John McCain’s best days are behind.

Nichole said: You may as well say that Abraham Lincoln or Frederick Douglas or MLK, Jr were polarizing fiqures.
Good perspective but that depends upon the person you are asking. So you are unaware that one must be a polarizing figure in order to create change? The mythology of racism represents an extensive cultural stratum that goes beyond fried chicken and watermelon.

You stay classy, republicans.
Doesn’t surprise me after reading some of the venom on this board.

You limit the term racism by positing these ideas that conjur images of a smoking gun. Bam! Thats racism> it is clear from your comments that the version of racism you present is sanctified by stereotypes created by the very individuals that you profess to oppose.

surge,
i agree, what murtha said was wrong,
and what the lady from callie did was wrong.
we need to have a conversation people in small groups, or one on one’ and let the black person tell how this racism has affected their life, down through the years, let them tell what they would do going forward to make life better for self and the world.and that they are willing to forgive
and the same with whites
a white person need to sit down and tell a black person,
i don’t believe i think i am superior to you,-i am sorry for the thing you have suffered,and then say what they are will to do going forward in what they would do to make this world better.
and we don’t need a presidential cand.
from the top telling people who work side by side with each other everyday,
obama is going to take from you and give to someone else.
we all really do have more in common than we do differences.
and that is a place to start.
now for all of you phd’s who want to make what you have read in your books come to life. close the books, and get out there and experience people.

World, I agree with you on all points. If we want this engagement to take on a more serious tone we must look at the beast that racism is, on all fronts and historical circumstances.

Uh….I thought Obama grew up with a WHITE mother and grandparents in Hawaii; what whaite racial-stereotype foods did Obama eat as a child?
And then as a child Obama lived in Indonesia…I don’t think he was exposed to many watermelons, fried chicken and ribs over there.

jhw539, there are so many fallacies in your last post. i don’t know where to begin.

McCain is the one to put Joe the plumber in the spot light not Obama. McCain expected that his remark that Obama should have run for president 4 years ago if he wanted to run against Bush to be the talking point of his debate. This however was overshadowed by “Joe”. Look where Joe is now.
McCain’s whole venue has been to be negative about Obama with out any concrete plan on anything. All he says is I know how to fix this and that….give us some facts.
McCain like many others have suffered for this nation but he is out of touch with most Americans and does not relate to what most Americans are going through.
Both sides have faults, both sides distort the truth but only 1 side has consistently been unprofessional with winks, rolling eyes and other unacceptable facial expressions and language.
The losers in this election is the American people. MaCain has discredited himself as a viable candidate and is largely responsible for the support Obama is enjoying.
McCain showed lack of judgement in his pick of running mates, in his judgement to say he was suspending his campaign to go back to Washington to help with the financial crisis, cancelling his interview with “Letterman” but doing one with Katie Couric instead. He used poor judgement to run his campaign on insults rather than any facts and ideas.
This election will go down in history as the 1st elected Black American and the stupiest and sleaziest Republican Campaign ever.
I hope McCain accepts defeat in a more dignified manner than he has run his campaign and may Ms. Palin go home with a lesson learned.

surge,
in actual fact, no one wants to ills of race to be over more than black people.
don’t believe the hype from the people who seem to have made this a cottage industry, black and white.
go to the walking around folks,
everyday a working class black person has to deal with an issue on race, and that usually happens from the time they walk out of their homes until they get home again, they are having to navigate some issue of racism.
no one wants to heal the ills of race, more than black people.
i will say this the only people who want to keep this country uniting, and healing this race issue are:
1. those whites who think they are born superior to blacks and others.
2. those black who will not forgive
3. those who make a living off race
4. the very very ignorant
the people who want this race thing to heal-will work to help it be so.
and you don’t need a phd to know this.

This is one of most disgusting displays of overt racist behavior so far this campaign cycle. The ultimate insult is to the American people with the woman that is the head of this organization thinking we are all too stupid to realize this kind of propaganda for what it is. She states that she had no idea it would be seen the way it is. I call B.S. If this woman was alive during the 60s at all then she d@mn well knows the significance. She would have had to have just crawled out from under her rock a week ago to not be aware of the significance of those items and the racial stereotypes they imply. Strange that the relevance of the Food Stamp was obvious to her, but the relevance of the various food stuffs was not. I and many others grow VERY TIRED of Republicans assuming that the rest of the country is stupid and can’t read between the lines of their actions. Enjoy your final days in power repubs. It will be a LONG time before you’ll enjoy it again.

I was raise a poor white girl in the south. One day at work a friend and I were talking about food we had as a child. I brought up “fried baloney” sandwiches.
The next day I was called into the office as a black had overhead this conversation and told management that I was talking about blacks when I mentioned eating these sandwiches as a child.
This had nothing to do with blacks and I really did eat these as a child. To me it was a person who wanted to be discriminated against as they had nothing else to make an isssue over.
I do beleive in this case however that Fedele knew what she was doing and did mean for this to be of racial intent. Even though whites do eat these foods they are more the diets of Black Americans. They wanted to draw attention and succeeded.
With the health of the nation would it not be more in line to use fruits and vegetables?
Shame, shame, shame….

I see that racism, no matter what excuses are made for it, is alive and well in California!

Here is what I find truly unbelievable….
The media and comedians can make fun of Palin and they can curse her out during comedy tours and talk about what a bad person she is….comics are putting all types of different clothing on her or lack of, swords, butcher knives or fully automatic guns
But GOD FORBID anyone poke fun at Obama….Lord have mercy it must be RACIST.
This is getting old and people are honestly getting tired of it.

There is a need for GOP political cleansing 08 and beyond. Vote the vermin out. Now and in the future so our nation can proceed into the future and not continued to sattle with the ignorant hate weight of these sub-humans. N E A R (never elect another republican).

Obama campaign has given ACORN over $800K for getting the vote out, and he also received about $250K from ACORN for something that I didn’t catch on. If say giving and receiving money from ACORN itself isn’t a big deal, then the real problem is Obama lied about his association with this organization, just like he did other relationships with other people, besides all these shows his poor judgment which is an important factor in your voting decision.

People, come on…haven’t we moved passed 1865? I guess not. Showing Palin toting guns is far, far different than depicting racist stereotypes surrounding Obama.

KKK–Rev.Wright—Farrhakan—Bill Ayers–Black Panthers
Aren’t ALL OF THE ABOVE RACIST???
But let us not talk about the last four….Oh no, only the first one.
THE KKK are awful and should be ridiculed and punished, but we should not dismiss the last four in the name of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander!Again, where is the fair and balanced media?

Interesting that people look at negative Obama ads as positive while take McCain positive ads negative. People are ignorant of the facts. Anything Obama says is truthful, positive, non-racism, any plans he has are good, while nothing from McCain’s is good. What is going on in this stupid world?

Since we all know there are voting fraud in those state, I’d say the easiest way to prevent and fix the problem is to invalidate all the early voting. Also continue to investigate the fraud. If any such incidence found in a particular state, then McCain automatically win that state. If you put out such rules, I suspect anyone would dare to do it again therefore voter fraud would be largely eliminated without having to spend much of taxpayers money. Why won’t anyone do this?

Yes I am white, I have mixed brothers and sisters in my family and you will never know how hard that is when you are blasted by both races.
Don’t spout crap that you have never lived and understand that our government considers you black with only 1/4 blood.
Used to be all you had to do was have a transfusion from a black man to be black.
Sometimes things never change.
If you are mixed (white/black)…try to call yourself white and see what happens.
You are basically forced to call yourself black so that you can live some form of a life anywhere.
You are either a race trader or not excepted by either race…try not to be angry after all that…I dare you!!!
Come live in my shoes and then tell me something that makes sense, don’t just vomit words.
Obama/Biden ’08

Bev…we can trade shoes and view each others worlds……

UnPoliticallyCorrect2008 …and your world is what?
Words say one thing but actions speak volumes.
When you are beat up, slandered and have to defend your love for your family everyday, and yes even now, what in your world would be different for me and others?
Obama/Biden ’08

I don’t get people who “love America” but don’t seem to like Americans. This stuff is revolting by any measure and says more about the people who created it than it will ever say about the people it’s intended to insult.
I don’t care if it’s aimed at whites, browns, or blacks, racism’s racism. We all need to pull ourselves out of that hog wallow and get on with the business at hand, i.e., fixing the mess that this country’s in.

This article made me sick, the woman saying she thought it was just food is full of it.
But the post by Len… is making me hungry now. Dangit!

These women are following McCain and Palin’s leadership. Palin, especially, has incited, encouraged, promoted, and condoned racism, bigotry, and cynicism in her rallies. McCain is just as guilty. His ADs are all laced with racism. McCain refused to vote for Martin Luther King II day; he refused to vote for funding to institute MLK day. Finally, in 2008, in his desperation to win African American votes he halfheartedly “apologized” to the Black community. McCain is racist to the core from way back when!! John McCain is an old washed-out politician with an unsatiable life-time ambition to be president. He, himself, said so in his book, “I ran for president in 2000, not because I wanted to change policy, but, because I wanted to fulfill my life-time ambition to be president. Believe me, that is the only reason he is running now!! John McCain, Sarah Palin, and his campaign are sending out dispicable rotocalls—they will do and say ANYTHING in their efforts to win this election at ANY price to the country and its citizens. Their “country first” is total BS!! McCain and Sarah are all about McCain and Sarah, no more and no less!!

Bev….you are assuming I do not have to do that everyday, that I do not have to defend my family from slanderous accusations by others whom assume one thing and know nothing about true facts.
When I applied for college grants and scholarships as a Native American Indian and then questioned because I am not dark enough or have blue eyes instead of brown……please do not assume I do not know where you are coming from.
Please do not tell me how disenranchised the black were or have been because I assure you the Native Indians have been there, done that and are still there.

The more someone pushes – the more people say “Sure, fine, I’m a racist and I will not vote for Obama”. That right hasn’t been taken away yet – but come January Obama could want to control that along with our daily life. I haven’t voted for a Democrat in my 40 years of voting – but if you want to call me a racist, that’s fine with me. It says more about you than it does about me.

UnPoliticallyCorrect2008…
No where in my post did I not say you did not have to live with this everyday.
I also did not say anything about who was being disfranchised….no one believes I am Italian because of my blonde hair and blue eyes.
But I am an American and being told I am against my race because I stand with any other race.
What I am saying is this: if you have to fight everyday for anything in this world because you happen to look different, then I am saying there is still something wrong with our country.
It will never be cured, it is a cancer that goes far too deep.
And until we recognize how bigoted we really are, we will never find that cure.
Not in my lifetime nor in the lifetime of my grandchildren.
GOD BLESS YOU…
Obama/Biden ’08

“Sure, fine, I’m a racist and I will not vote for Obama”.
everyday…… Obama’s statement get’s proved again and again….
‘They are PROUD OF THEIR OWN IGNORANCE’

The whole world is watching how ignorant we are.

The whole world is watching how ignorant Americans can be. I am embarrassed for all of us.

Jorge, it was principle I was basing my comment on. It is not the mere college issue but many issues.
I am disgusted that we do not hear more about how Native Americans are disenfranchised, only black America.
NO ONE should be disenfranchised was my point. My apologies if I did not come across with that point.

to Jimbo: Last night was about Obama, this was about Obama & the people of color a BIG difference..

Hey since we all know how underhanded the Republicans are this year i.e inciting hate (Palin)at rallies, now the food Stamps, using Obamas middle name at rallies, and the one republican Rep. comparing Obama to Osama. How do we know that this voter fraud was not caused by republican infatuating ACORN, as ACORN has been the one that caught these phony applications? . I would not put it past them. Remember Florida when Kathrine Harris Gave the Presidency to Bush? Oh another thing is there is a Video of McCain at a ACORN function where he had only great things to say about ACORN.

“OBAMA IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD? “..REALLY???? WOW! he TOLD This women to make these! And he TOLD her to put watermelon and fried chicken on it, and he TOLD HER to make such a STUPID defense of herself! LOL!! wow! man, Obama is responsible for EVERYONE’S behavior, huH???? He’s not only responsible for EVERY left wing person’s behavior, he’s responsible for all the racist nuts behavior as well!!!! how IS this????? does he do thought control???? How IS HE responsible for what OTHERS do??????? Do tell.

If anyone has paid attention, Every Nation is wanting Obama to win, so that America can move in a new direction. Iraq has adopted a plan to bring troops home that came from Obama’s idea. McCain said leave them there for a million years. Those that promote hate, are scared and ignorant and fear that revenge will be taken upon them. History has proven that the White race has been again every nationality. Starting with the indians, mexicans, blacks,asians. Its a shame that there are some white people that are humble and don’t belive in black and white, but are judged for the ignorant choices their parents made. My best friend is white and I see her as a chritian and my sister in christ. Not only blacks but every race has some sort of division and its sad. A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for racism and the terrorist they love and support. By the way.. Use google and you will see all of MCCains terrorist ties still in present day.
Posted by: Preston | Oct 17, 2008 12:34:33 PM
VOTING FOR MCCAIN DOES NOT MAKE SOMEONE A RACIST. THAT IS A COMPLETLY IGNORANT COMMENT!
I AM VOTING FOR MCCAIN, BUT WOULD VOTE FOR CONDOLEEZA RICE OR COLIN POWELL AS WELL IF THEY RAN AND THEY ARE BLACK!!!
OBAMA IS NOTHING MORE THAN A USED CAR SALESMAN AND I KNOW OF MANY BLACK PEOPLE WHO THINK HE IS A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY.

Wow…just wow. By far this is not the worse thing I have seen but really what in the world were they thinking? That she tried to defend this by saying it was just food is just silly, considering it was the most stereotypical foods possible. However the CA GOP site that had the waterboard Obama game on its website was much much worse.

Obama playing the race card? Are you for Real? You see the Food Stamp picture that came from a Republican Rep. for the Chaffey Community Republican Women. How is that Obama’s fault? Palin stating that Obama was pallin around with terroist, but not stating the guy was a terroist when Obama was 8 and the board he was on, also had high ranking Republicans on it to. And the funtions Ayer’s had for Obama was not held at his house bt at the Ramada Inn.

Lori,
Get a sense of humor! This was obviously meant as a joke. Blacks will be the first to tell you that they like chicken. Obviously, you don’t know any blacks.

I should also mention since they are going on about food stamps, they really aren’t being witty or ironic. From 2002 to 2006 the number of families living in poverty has grown 4.7 million. When unemployment benefits run out and people can’t find work I have no problem with them using food stamps.

Jessy,
Republicans gave blacks the right to vote and a Republican president put an end to slavery. Know your history. It wasn’t liberals.

“It was just food to me. It didn’t mean anything else.”
There are some pretty insane people on both sides saying and doing some pretty nasty things. I don’t like either side doing it but I believe for the most part these are fringe people. However, in this case, a Republican women’s organization, those are not fringe people and this really is nasty. And, no, I will never believe this woman when she said it was just food and didn’t mean anything else. Does she think we’re all stupid?

It must be a gratifying day for Democrats to finally have some hard evidence. Too bad it’s from some obscure small-town group.
Posted by: Judasmac | Oct 17, 2008 8:57:35 AM
Obscure small-town group?
Are you kidding, Get an Education…
The metropolitan area around the cities of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ontario, CA has roughly 1.1 million people.
Ya, real small town.

Lori,
Seriously, how many blacks do you know? Every black person that I know has a sense of humor and they will be the first person to say that they like chicken and they think its funny and joke about it all the time.

I know not all Republicans are racist, but this election has demonstrated that there exists a culture of tolerance for racism in the party. Its their 1st amendment rights to say what they say, however with that right comes responsibility and right now they are not showing any.

How many white people are on welfare and food stamps?Colonel Sanders is white?How many white folks eat water melons and ribs?

The food stamps part was ok. It could be considered a joke but why did they have to put KFC, ribs in the ad as well..That wasnt very nice.
I really really hope that obama wins. He will be good for this country’s image and i think he will be a capable president.

This shows the fear and ignorance of some. I am African-american(male) and I think that is highly offensive. Any person that does not find that offensive does not truly understand this country’s history.

When is Obama gonna start spreading that wealth around? I got bills to pay!

little red wagon – whoever brought up race “first” is totally irrelevant. This latest gimmick is disgusting and RACIST and there’s no excuse for it. You just can’t get any lower than this. Some wonderful country we live in, right?

Not all Republicans are racist. That said, all Racists are voting Republican this year.

mitch you dont know squat. If he was a relative of keating dont you think the liberal media would have been all over that likes flies on horse manure?

I can picture McCain telling these people “Can you please stop helping?” Even though I disagree with him, he’s a good person, and I’m pretty sure that he doesn’t want to be considered a racist, even though many of his supporters are. The other day, I asked my patient who the two presidential candidates were, so that I could see if he was oriented. He said “That colored boy and McCain”. Guess I know who he’s voting for….

As a radical conservative, I roundly denounce any form of prejudice. The ones who did it should be rounded up and berated for what they did. There is no place in any party to harbor prejudices in this day and age!!!!

Yeah, this is really funny!! NOT!! What MIGHT be funny is McCains picture on a pack of Depends or Palins pic on a package of birth control pills. That would have me rolling on the floor.
Republican humor is really SO FUNNY!!

counting crows Im getting really tired of all the posters that as soon as someone indicates the are a repub that are branded a racist

OBAMA SCARES ME – McCain and Palin scare me more. Believe it.

There are people who will not vote for Obama simply because of his skin color. Just admit the truth. Keep writing off all these incidents as jokes, like the guy who shows up at a Palin rally with a Curious George stuffed toy and an Obama sticker on its forehead, the uncouth lout in Florida with a hand-made sign on his lawn saying “Obama is a half-breed muslin”(sic). Let’s laugh it all off, so funny, indeed. Oh, and gee, I’m scared. Obama is only ahead of McCain by 6 points in the latest Gallup Poll. Only 6 points!!! You guys wish McCain was up by “just 6 points” don’t you??? With everything you have tried to throw at Obama these past 20 months, I am amazed he is even in the lead at all. Just imagine if he were white and his name was Thomas Wayne or something like that. He’d be crushing McCain (and McCain’s choice for V.P. did him a lot of damage, whether you want to admit it or not. She’s a real dimwit).

Shameful.

Alan, Why are you mongering hate as well?

This is typical GOP humor and it won’t stop here. I sometimes underestimate the hatred in women. i’d like to think that they had a little more class then men, but to conceptualize that a woman’s group actually took the time to incorporate such nasty hatred is below low. Is this also what we can expect from Palin? How does one do this and call themself patriotic in the same breath?

Get real!! I worked as an intern with DFACS when I working for my degree in Sociology. Do you know how many Whites and Hispanics are on food stamps? PLENTY!! Blacks are not the only ones and with the poor economic times, you can expect more people to sign up and qualify for Food Stamps and Medicaid/Medicare.

As i said in a couple of posts below i have no problem with the food stamps part. i just dont like soul food being shown with the food stamps.

I AM NATIVE AMERICAN, AND I FIND THIS TOTALLY REPULSIVE! THE NATIVE AMERICANS HAVE SUFFERED CONSIDERABLY DUE TO THIS RACIST TYPE OF THINKING, AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM VOTING FOR A AFRICAN-AMERICAN IF THE ALTERNATIVE CHOICE IS HANDLING THEIR CAMPAIGN LIKE THIS! LET THE BEST PERSON WIN!!!!!

I’m sorry…but ever since I can remember, especially starting in the ’64 election that the REPUBLICAN
party was very racist. I can remember being a very young hispanic boy and the republicans would say their party was only for the white people..

The only thing offensive about this “Buck” is that it needs a message beneath “Obama Bucks” that reads:
“Give These Bucks To Someone Less Fortunate Than You”
After all, that is the Main Theme of Obama: Redistribute the Wealth.
Apparently that includes KFC and watermelon.

2 fraggenboots:
No, I am showing that each person can prejudices against them. McCain can have ageism, Palin can have sexism and Obama can have racism. And it is not funny in any case. The fact that Obama is Black does not mean he is King Food Stamps, but, there are plenty of people out there who might think that and this kind of thing feeds that. McCain has to fight people who thinks he is too old and Palin has to fight people who think that a woman only belongs in the home. Obama has to fight people who think because of his skin color, he should not be President. They are all breaking down barriers. None of it is funny, no matter who it is happeing to…whether it is Obama, McCain or Palin.

Jen,
Know your history too….at that time Republicans were seen as the liberal party. Haven’t you ever heard of the Solid South? Dems won the south till Truman started supporting the civil rights movement along with many dems after that. It was the GOP that didn’t support the civil rights movement ie, Bary Goldwater who ran for prez against LBJ, thus ending the dems control in the south as the dems went more liberal and gop went conservative.

common_sense my wife has several black clients in her line of work and they admit they know nothing about Obama’s politics but come right out and say they are voting for him because he is black. A few say they are because they are “due”

boxcar – I try with you one more time. When in theis polls you have rasmussen, GWU, Ipsos, Gallup the one you listed yourself, this not media poll.

Wow. I’m white and I’m offended. That is BLATANTLY racist and a major distortion of truth. These GOP wingnuts sure must feel their grasp on the world slipping away if they’re resorting to such shameful (not to mention juvenile) tactics. How can these people live with themselves? How can they call themselves Americans and have no interest in truth?

So this is the best the Republican party has to offer. Well, I guess you’ll understand why Obama is going to win, then.

I don’t believe the statement that “it was just food to me”. Someone sent me that e-mail, and that was the first thing that stood out. I can’t believe someone in a position of that nature would pass on something as appauling as that.

So Fedele, says “I really don’t want to go into it any further. I absolutely apologize to anyone who was offended. That clearly wasn’t my attempt. It was just food to me. It didn’t mean anything else.” Well, honey, I think you will be going into a little further. What a liar, “it was just food to me.” Who does she think she is fooling? She is a disgusting racist and should be ashamed of herself.

you just gotta love the comments about blacks voting for Obama just because he is black….and most of those post are coming from people that aren’t voting for him just because he is black…..what is the difference?

See, this is the main reason the republicans are going to lose big time this year.
With the state of our economy, more and more people of all races are currently on food stamps, and by making light or a joke of the situation just shows average struggling Americans that the republican party doesn’t understand what’s going on, and that they don’t care.
They continue to show just how insensitive and blind they are to the everyday struggle. Someone being on food stamps is nothing and I mean nothing to poke fun at. It’s not a joke you racist idiots. Its reality for millions of Americans living and suffering under the Bush Administration.
Cant wait to see Obama blow McCain out the water.
And its a shame, cause even as a black woman, I know that McCain isnt a bad person, and he would make a much better president than Bush. But he has surrounded himself with people who are still stuck in the old ways, who still dont realize that we all are Americans struggling just to make ends meet. He has allowed these people to corrupt his campaign and take him away from his own morals and values, and it will cost him November 4th.

Yet another classy campaign by the GOP… Clearly Fedele shares McCain’s belief that Americans are completely stupid to think she “didn’t mean it”.

Boxcar, sorry they systematically delete the web link to the poll tracker from usa today that list most of the poll tracking from my post. Shame

UnPoliticallyCorrect2008: Here is what the most damning of them all ACTUALLY said (I don’t have time to look up all the others but apparently that’s something you should do before you start spewing misquotes):
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

dynaride93 your right thats his message give to someone less fortunate than yourself. You know who else used that theme? His name was Jesus. Why is it that republicans that are suppose to be so great church going folks would think that charity is a bad thing? We are put on this earth to be good people and help one another and giving to the less fortunate is a bad thing in peoples eyes for some reason. This is what is at the heart of whats wrong with america today. People are only out for themselves they have no concern for anyone else.

Why noone had a thought about a ‘reverse Bradly effect’? I mean, there a lot of people out there who cast their vote depending on a candidate’s race, but the dependancy will be just the opposit. I mean, some (and not very few) white people can vote FOR Barack just because he is black. Think about it. We like the idea of our country be without prejudice and being a place of equal opportunity for everyone. Voting for Obama would just elevate us in our own eyes, giving us pride and selfestime.

One thing that really gets me is the GOP saying that black people are only voting for Obama because he is black. However, he went and got a woman VP nominee hoping to lock down women voters. One word – Hypocrites

Not all Republicans are racist. That said, all Racists are voting Republican this year.
Posted by: AppeaseThis | Oct 17, 2008 1:18:21 PM
you should amend that statement to read “most years” rather than “this year”

gallup is 49 to 43 but my point is the media polls are insanely out of whack with 11 to 14 point differences and if you notice gallup and othe independents had obama at 53 to 41 just a couple of weeks ago..they are going back in the other direction…again

For those of you that don’t know 60% of people that are on welfare are white. Blacks only make up 10% of the population. You do the math. It’s funny how people accuse Obama playing the race card when I’ve seen nothing but Mccain supporters making racial remarks. As far as I’m concerned, anyone that doesn’t denounce these types of acts are racists. Yeah i’m talking about the ones that claim there not racists and say that they have 2 black friends, who keeps count on how many minority friends you have?!

mom I totally agree with you

I don’t condone any racism, which at least a few in this Republican group engaged in, but when is the left going to begin to crack down on itself? Why, for one, is it okay to declare blacks (and other minorities) and women who are conservative as not real blacks or Asians or real women, that they’re really white and only happen to have certain physical features, or really men that happen to have certain anatomical parts (usually the most crass and vulgar terms are used, such as about Palin). That isn’t excusable. As a woman who is not liberal, I understand that this is about robbing people of their identities and it crosses the line. How is it right to say that because someone else has a different world-view, you can strip them of who they are? It really just seems that liberals, believing they’re justified because they’re “right,” grant themselves licenses exempting themselves from things they claim to believe in.
It seems liberals always paint all possibly racist or sexist remarks by conservatives as intended to be deeply racist or sexist, even if those who make them also hold genuinely positive views of other races and of women. Nowadays especially there are lower levels of prejudice and varying levels of how intentional and even aware a person is in what they say. It is also hard for many people to completely overcome prejudices taught to them as children. On the other hand, though, liberals consider themselves to be purely without any racism or sexism.
And then there’s the prejudice towards lower or working class whites who reject liberalism. This is hate that a great many liberals approve of themselves engaging in, as if it’s nothing. If it gets covered at all, it rarely if ever makes headlines. Most liberals think nothing of referring to people as “trailer-park trash.” A Canadian writer for the CBC, Heather Mallick, is receiving some criticism for a hate-filled column in which she said of Palin, “She added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn’t already have sewn up, the white trash vote,” (“A Mighty Wind blows through Republican convention,” Heather Mallick’s Official Website). And again, as mentioned above, it’s nothing to her to deny Palin her womanhood: “No, she isn’t even female really.” After the Republican convention, Bill Maher wrote that Republicans aren’t voting for Obama because he’s smarter than them, and that, “Barack Obama can’t help it if he’s a magna cum laude Harvard grad and you’re a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with your brother-in-law.” And this is just a sampling of liberals on Republicans and conservatives. If you read very many of them, you see these beliefs are not the exception, but the rule.
It’s also been fine to make very lewd jokes at the expense of Sarah Palin’s daughter, as many liberal entertainers, such as Maher and Colin O’Brien, have done. And that is only because the liberal elite regards Palin as the “white trash” candidate and so her children as okay targets.

MCCAIN WAS THE BIGGEST LOSER IN THE 3RD DEBATE. HE LOOKED CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED AT TIMES. HE CONTRADICTED HIMSELF BY SAYING “WE DON’T NEED NEW TAXES IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES”, BUT WANT’S TO TAX HEALTH CARE BENEFIT’S FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! ALSO SAY’S “WE NEED A SPENDING FREEZE ACROSS THE BOARD”, BUT WANT’S TO FUND A NEW PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM. HE FLIP-FLOP’S ON THE ISSUE’S WAY TOO MUCH! BARACK OBAMA WAS THE CLEAR WINNER, AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE FIRST TO WELCOME HIM INTO THE WHITE HOUSE!

I think its funny and I’m a White 61 year old male from rural North Carolina who voted for Obama in the primary and can’t wait to vote for him in the General Election!

How many white people are on welfare and food stamps?Colonel Sanders is white? How many white folks eat water melons and ribs?
True, there are a lot of people down and out, and there are some who play the system. That ad was intended to damage Barack Obama though and in no uncertain terms target Blacks.

“I am a Republican from the South, and I thought this was about poor southerners. The idea of racial stereotypes never crossed my mind.”
As a white guy who grew up in South Georgia I do not find your statement suprising. Many whites I know are totally blind to racism. They think that blacks living in poverty, prison and poor healthcare has nothing to do with racism, just as they would be blind to how offensive this “bill” is. Open your eyes and look around you and then do a little soul searching.

This silliness was not even worth the time to print. ABC must have been having a slow news say. As a black person, I have seen/heard some of the most ridiculous statements from all races come from the mouths of “professionals.” We really are a sorry country, but then again, everyone has a right to their opinions. I am sure Obama has time to read such nonsense. Hopefully, he’s teaching his daughters to overlook professional idiots. Maybe that village will come looking for them after a filling lunch of tofu, salad, and wine.

There is some pretty vile stuff posted about Palin that hasnt raised any eyebrows..im just saying

Obama is still winning. This is what the GOP resorts to when they get their ignorant, old butts kicked. Sad, pathetic losers. Watermelon and ribs on food stamps? Who does that anymore…so over. Get some new material you clowns.

Hilarious!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me if this woman Diane Fedeleis is still the President of Chaffey Community Republican Women?
Shouldn’t she have been immediately fired?…I don’t see any accountability here, just a faint plea of ignorance.
Americans need to take a stong stand againt this kind of racism…let’s let the Chaffey Community Republican Women know that.

boxcar here again I try gallup 49-43 is the old poll today it’s 50-43.

McCain isn’t a racist, he is a good guy.
What troubles me is the fact that some NeoCons campaigners keep feeding their audience with lies and smears and McCain doesn’t oppose it.
John Lewis is right, McCain/Palin are walking a dangerous path. Only one of these maniacs can turn this country in a turmoil.

boxcar do you get it now? the poll are not going in the other direction. look at the fact.

I am tired of all of the negatives from BOTH sides left and right. They are what has polarized us as a nation and most of us in the center are fed up with it! This mailing was offensive, plain and simple. Some of the characterizations of Sarah Palin have been as well. I am struggling with who to vote for and I am sick of ALL of the crap like this above are turning me off and am sorry to say more of it does seem to be coming from the Republican camp.

Jake this would have been a good topic had you juxtaposed it with Democratic Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha’s incident. Mutha says some people in his state are, are quote, “racist.” if they do not vote for Obama.
No. Actually Murtha said that some people would not vote for Obama because they ARE racist, not that it IS racist if you do not vote for Obama. Learn English – two different things there, they don’t compare.

Now I’m not sure about this but I think Obama and his family sat in what seems to be a racist church. Or should I say used to.

There are a lot of things that this American government has done, and as a result of it, U.S.A. is finding itself embroiled in DEATHLY hurricanes, floods, winds, fire, etc. And since part of California is burning wildly that NO MAN can control, it will not be long that this Republican woman, and her female friends will LOSE EVERYTHING, all because of this Obama smear on a food stamp coupon. However, this is a good thing because it shows how IGNORANCE, RACISM, and FEAR portrays itself, openly! MAN CANNOT CONTROL THE FORCES THAT ARE COMING TO AMERICA IN FORMS OF WEATHER, AND MAN CANNOT CONTROL WHO GOD SEES FIT TO SAVE AMERICA’s FATE! And if you do not believe this, then vote for McCain/Palin. If you know what I know, and what millions of people who believe in a Higher Power than ourselves, then VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN – if you REALLY want to save America’s FATE in this world!

Patrick MO | Oct 17, 2008 2:27:27 PM – If you hate the negatives then how could you consider McCain. 100% of his ads since late September have been negative. At least Obama has a good portion of his ads as positive.

boxcar most of the liberal here don’t mind cartoon and humor but we mind insult during election time, get it!

Nice language Lisa. What a lady. NOT.

I like fried chicken, ribs, watermelon but I don’t like kool aid.
Vote YES on California PROP 8 !

Ok Voter says, It’s time for voters to know the issues and vote for the politician and policies, not the color of his skin.
No one is saying most republicans are racist who do not vote for Obama. The same thing can be said about whites voting for McCain because he is white. It happens on both side. What we are saying is why does it have to come to this when certain groups publish racial items and say racial things in this race. You actually said it yourself, …
“”I am not saying that this was not racist”". Have you seen any Obama ads or mailout that have racial intones or phone calls, mail outs, or emails displaying what these coupons have. Of course not. Why is it okay for a party to try and divide this country with racial hate, i will never know. America better wake up to this before hatred and violence flare up in your country over this. And this is exactly what Palin and McCain really want. Who are the real threats to this country? You don’t have far to look when you see the Republican Party for what it truely is.

I do not know for the life of me how this women did not think the food stamp would not be offensive

I am white & from the deep south. This IS NOT racist food. Everybody in the south eats this stuff – black/white – it doesn’t matter. The only people who see this as racist are those who know are just ignorant. Lighten up, people!

Stuff like this proves why the United States of America’s allies and friends think we’re a total laughing stock. We’re all human beings. Why can’t we all just get along?

I thought it was so true and good political humor :)

Can’t we all just get along….

southern_conservative | Oct 17, 2008 2:46:59 PM – I eat all of that stuff too, but it is culturally steriotypical. You just don’t get it. You don’t want to get it.

I am amazed at how much Republicans hate poor people and minorities. They need to read the bible more.

700 billion it’s call3ed shovel up and not trickle down.

I can NOT believe that the GOPs have gotten this desperate. The audacity to create a racially dicriminating ad such as this one is absolutely disgraceful and shameful. Republicans have been a party of selffish and ignorant individuals and it still remains that way. None of them care about the average American people, they only care about their bottom line. Joe the plumber? Nice set up! But the truth always prevails! The American people have lost hope for the country and the GOP Administration running it. We have only been fed lies over the last EIGHT YEARS and this outrageous ad only creates more hatred. We are suppose to be the greatest country in the World, but now the whole world is looking and laughing at us, how shameful! I’m going independent!

Just so everyone knows, it’s really not the choice of foods that are offensive… but the fact that they chose to put his face on a donkey. That was the first thing I took note of. Any comments??

Is that all you got?????? Pathetic.

I will be the first to admit that hypocrisy and the double standard along with racism runs rampant in both parties but I bet none of you will admit it. Its always the “other guy” who is the bad guy and you are the victim and again I see this mentality on both sides. I have voted for both parties in the past but this year I got to go for McCain because I do not htink its a good idea to put a guy that been with the company for two years with no experience and promoting him to CEO of the company. Im out of here..cya

Don’t worry Fedele – Palin & McCain are proud of you.

I thought it was so true and good political humor :)

People we have the best chance to put this racist,evil,narrow minded,bulling, my way or the hiway party down, for a good long time. Make no mistake, this is the most important election in our lifetimes. We need to get ever real american to vote, we need to vote out as many repub. senators as we can. A super majority will crush them. When it comes time for supreme court judges, they won’t be able to block anything. When meaningful bills are brought forward they won’t be able to block them. Like he said let’s not get cocky. We have to win by a large margin to offset the repub. voter fraud machine.

If Obama & Biden didn’t run around taking about “passing the wealth around” and “redistribution of wealth” we wouldn’t be having this discussion. He has set himself up for this type of satire. I think it’s funny. I didn’t see any problem with the food (because I’m from the deep south & everyone eats this stuff).

Thanks, JR, I’m about to go write a little note:-).

What else do you expect from Republican women in an “Inland Empire” town?
I can’t wait for the “Sarah Palin supports unwed underage mothers” stamp.

This is just flat out racist….the comments posted on this is what makes me the most nervous about Americans and uneducated white America. To even think that we are fools to believe that this was not racist is ridiculous. McCain/Palin preach to a lower uneducated class of white America, that is why I pray they are not elected into office. This is clearly offensive. AngryBlackWomanfromTexas

P.S. Again, Obama isn’t Muslim.
So sick of these faker lies.

What makes people so ignorant? The climate in this election has drawn out so much stupidity in this country that I have to laugh at some of these statements…ALL republicans are NOT rich..they are just everyday people who believe in working for a living, go to church, do not believe that abortion for a woman who can prevent a pregnancy, gets pregnant, and decides to kill a baby! I have been a life long Democrat and I DO NOT BELIEVE IN ABORTION EITHER!! We Democrats who will vote Republican this year do not want to “share the wealth” of our hard earned dollars to anyone who will not get off their butts and work for what they want or need..we Democrats who will vote Republican for the first time do not want this country to become a SOCIALIST COUNTRY! This Socialism has been tried in other countries and it has degraded them! We do not mind welfare for people who NEED it, but to just say…you people have too much and now you need to give it back…that is a PUNISHMENT TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO ACHIEVE WHAT WE HAVE AND NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TELL US WE DON’T DESERVE TO KEEP IT! What kind of country has this America come to when this “share the wealth” should even be a discussion let alone the political agenda of a radical like Obama? NOT ON MY POST!!

What a “small” group of women! Rather Palin-like, don’t you think?!

This tactic is absolutely appalling! The Republican party should be embarrassed and ashamed that such a tactic was used. It’s disappointing that someone would do something so malicious just in an attempt to further their candidate’s electability while also destroying their party’s image.
FYI Folks…Lincoln was a Republican and ended slavery. Racism doesn’t have to be a Republican value.

The Republican party has nothing else. So what do they do…..appeal to the ignorance of people who refuses to look in the mirror and ask why do I NOT HAVE TEETH, OR WHY CAN’T I READ, OR WHY AM I SO HATEFUL? I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ANGRY AT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO KNOW WHO YOU’RE ANGRY AT AND WHY. I’LL BE MAD FOR BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED over the years TOO. YOU’VE BEEN PLAYED AND PUNKED!!!!!

This is pretty racist. But I must admit I did laugh a little (and I’m black). I also must admit that I like kool aid and ribs, but I prefer Popyes Fried Chicken. America is a sad place.

Classless trash!

I am truly amazed that some people are so damn STUPID too think Sen. Obama is Muslim: and so what if he is or was ? GWB claims too be Christian and look at the mess we are in.As far as the food stamp,oh well what does any one expect when many, many people are bigots in this nation

You haven’t lived if you don’t eat barbecued ribs, fried chicken, watermelon and cool-aid. Hog Heaven! Throw in some peach cobbler, blackeyed peas, greens, and cornbread. I’ve eaten food all over the world, and soul food is the best. Asparagus, yogurt, cavair, and escargot taste like dirt.

SOME REPUBLICANS ARE DESPERATE ARE VENTING BECAUSE THEY ARE BEHIND IN THE POLLS. REAL AMERICANS ARE BETTER THAN THIS. I AM BLACK AND THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES. MCCAIN IS LOWER THAN LOW AND WILL DO ANYTHING!! HE WOULD MAKE A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT. AS FAR AS EXPERIENCE PALIN KNOWS NOTHING PAST ALASKA’S BORDERS- SHE IS NOT READY TO LEAD. ALL THESE LIES ABOUT OBAMA SPEADING THE WEALTH AROUND- LISTEN WE HAVE NO WEALTH-TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT AND IF WE DON’T ELECT OBAMA WE WILL BELONG TO CHINA ANYWAY. THE COUNTRY IS BANKRUPT AND IS MAINLY THE REPUBLICAN(GEORGE BUSH AND CHENEY’S FAULT) THE BUCK STOPS WITH THEM.OR WERE THEY SLEEPING 8 YEARS.

That mailing hit the nail on the head as far as I’m concerned.

How can it be a lie when he is recorded on National TV saying he wants to spread the wealth around.
Now the liberal press is ripping on the plumber, they should be ripping Obama about his remarks.

difference

Obama defeats Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primaries to become the Democrat candidate for President of the United States. Obama arrives at the Democrat National Convention without having won enough delegates in the primaries to win the nomination, but manages to persuade enough “super delegates” to vote for him to win the nomination; the “persuasion techniques” include DNC Chairman Dean and his surrogates telling delegates they must vote for Obama or he will unseat them by funding primary challengers in their Congressional or local races. [161]

What I loved best about his “spreading the wealth around” comment to the plumber is that it was one on one – not a written, telepromter speach. It came from his heart. He truly believes it. Biden also said he believes in “distribution of wealth” in the debate with Palin.

A review of campaign donations filed with Federal Election Commission shows that Obama’s campaign receives a substantial number of contributions in unusual amounts, such as $74.37 or $42.95, suggesting they were illegal foreign contributions originally made in “even amounts,” which were then converted to U.S. dollars, resulting in “odd amounts;” the Obama campaign appears to have made no effort to identify or return illegal foreign contributions. Obama has over $200 million in contributions of less than $200, but his campaign has done little to insure that they are legal. [

If this doesn’t speak volumes about the Republican party, I don’t know what will. I don’t think McCain believes this one bit. The problem McCain is having is the rogue elements of his party have damaged his campaign beyond repair. This is absolutely a racist mailout and any family person that condones this is doing a poor job of raising their children. These aren’t men and women that support this but rather infantile people that are about as sharp as bowling balls. Keep up the good work GOP, as this rate, you won’t see another administration in my lifetime. This just goes to show you why these idiots need to be out of office. It’s a real shame.

How weak can you get? Anyone with half a brain can see the racist overtones behind this. And then to try to lie their way around it… sick people like this make me want to vomit.

Parrothead – You want to talk about segregation? It’s really done alot for the education system in this country. The public school systems tests scores are really great across the board across the country. Something to be proud of. Vouchers, YES! School choice, YES!

Hard to believe this is a ‘news story’ from 2008. You’d expect this maybe back in 1956. Say it ain’t so Joe!

The history books will say “The Republican Party destroyed America.”

Racist republicans.

how are so many of the posts here so off topic? This is about a racist GOP printout that was distributed.
The only reason Obama will win is because the GOP has been a dismal failure. If you voted for GW you only have yourself to blame just like McCain.
But taking every opportunity to change the subject when one of your fellow ilk get into trouble over something like this is not the place to discuss it.
Blame yourselves for electing the stupidest prez and prepare to take your punishment for it. It’s called personal responsibility folks!!! HA!!!

If I lived in a country that allowed me to have 9 homes, and 13 cars, I would consider it an honor to pay more taxes than poor people. Coal miners, maids, waitress, etc. all work hard, but they will always be poor. They deserve a break. Just because you are poor, doesn’t mean you don’t work hard. Republicans just don’t understand. They are out of touch.

Google
Obama and marxist
obama and new peoples party

OMG there are so many ignorant comments on this page. “It’s just fruit! I wish some of you could walk in his shoes, then you would understand. Why does this suprise anyone? I’m sure Barack has seen worse or better yet heard worse. Some people obviously have more time on their hands than others.

Wow thats really offensive and sad. Whats more sad is the GOpers trying to say how the same has been done to Palin or McCain. Soory folks, this depicts over 100 years of suppression and struggle.

This country is in the midst of fundamental change – economically, politically, our position in the world, the demographics of our population etc. Sen Obama’s candidacy is a visible, concrete indication of this change. There are many people in this country who are scared and are lashing out. I submit that they are scared because they see the change and realize that unless they go through their own change they are more part of the country’s past than it’s future.
Expect to see allot more of this expression of fear in the future.

Racism lives in america! Dont try to tell black people that it is in their head! And this woman did not even consider this offensive……THAT is the problem . Of course, a lot of americans tell us that you cant call her a RACIST. Also, why are most of the posters here not addressing the article? Denial maybe?

There are some really stupid people on this planet. To think that anyone would think this is awful. To think that anyone would put this in print and send it out is worse. To think that anyone would respond to criticism by saying that she didn’t mean it to be racist is pathetic.

A real class act that GOP. I suppose, the Dems, if they were to stoop as low could send out little envelopes of dust and remind everyone that McCain is so old that this is what he leaves behind when he passes wind.
Nah…that too would be classless.

I can’t begin to put myself at this level of thinking. To be afraid of a color or middle name is beyond my comprehension. All the rationalization in the world cannot disguise this ignorance.

I dislike just the thought that went into this. So immature and unprofessional! They should have never allowed this to go past the rough draft. Imagine that!

So, Fedele “didn’t see it the way it’s being taken”? Then how on earth did she get elected if she’s not smart enough to see it for anything but racist. “It’s just food to me”. With Obama’s picture amongst the food? She and her cohorts are despicable racists down to the core! I thought the citizens of Calif. were smarter than to elect someone of her caliber.

People: If you want others to take you seriously (or even read your posts for that matter), use punctuation. There is nothing worse than reading one big run-on sentence.

This doesn’t surprise me. The average IQ for the Republican party has slipped too all time low.

Without fail, the Republican party ALWAYS shows their true colors, displaying the WORST types of attitudes, and behaviour this country contains.
The republicans have no problems at all showing other Americans, and the rest of the world that they, republicans are racist, backwards, and uncivilized people.
America is supposed to be the country which leads the rest of the world, yet the republicans in this country continue to act like backwards, uneducated, racist, uncivilized people.
Do we really want the republican party, and their ignorant, racist members representing America! —- HELL NO!!!

“Just food”? Does she think we are a bunch of idiots? Just because you say you are not racist, does not mean you are not. This is blatant. I hope the MSM does not allow her to get away with this absurd excuse. For once, for God’s sake, call it what it is.

Good lord, this comment section proves that giving some conservatives a computer is like giving a monkey a hand grenade! What ignorance and pettiness!

Classy bunch those GOP. They worry so much about basic entitlements for poor all the while creating record deficits. Reagan, Bush Sr & Bush Jr have spent 11 trillion in red ink!!

upurs,
When is this going to come out to all the American people? Why hasn’t McCain used this. If I were him, I’d use it as a back drop to a speech….!!!! We are in real trouble if Barack Obama is elected. We will never be the same country again.

It is time to vote the nasty old-style politics out of office. This kind of thing, as well as the robocalls blanketing my battleground state are a sign of McCain’s desperation. The robocalls say William Ayers bombed government buildings and killed people and then somehow imply Obama is implict in those acts. Obama was eight years old at the time. So why does McCain allow this and the other nasty stuff? Retirees have lost Two Trillion in retirement funds in the last two weeks or so. McCain wants us to forget that he and people like his next Secretary of the Treasury Phil Gramm promoted and voted for the policies that caused the economic meltdown. Three million have lost jobs and more are losing jobs every day. McCain wants us to forget that his adviser Carly Fiorina got a 40 million dollar parachute for laying of 18,000 people. McCain has supported corporations where the CEOs prospered and the common people lost jobs, pensions and benefits. People have lost homes, health care, pensions, retirement funds, and the ability to send children to college or advanced vocational school training. McCain wants us to forget that he will gut Medicare to pay for his health care plan. The Wall Street Journal says he will cut Medicare and Medicaid 1.3 Trillion in ten years. Still, that health care plan taxes health premiums, puts the health care rebates directly into the pockets of insurance companies without limiting their ability to raise our premiums, raise deductibles, deny coverage for “existing” illnesses. It doesn’t even limit their ability to cherry pick, insure only healthy people. In other words, McCain has spent his political career promoting a philosophy of make the rich exponentially richer and leave the Middle Class jobless. He wants us to forget that, so he uses smears like the food stamps and the robocalls. Well, this time, we won’t forget. Last time being taken in by Swiftboating got us a ten-billion-dollar-month war, an economic meltdown and real distress. That won’t happen again, no matter how many nasty pamphlets, food stamps or robocalls the McCain-Palin camp tries to we will remember. John McCain, stop the nasty robocalls and do something that will help hurting people.

I have to think that John McCain himself had nothing to do with this particular incident – but it certainly doesn’t help him does it? To the folks who created this – just how dumb can you get?

Anyone thinking Obama is a racist needs to step back for a second and think: What race in our country’s history was confined by Slavery?
Although Slavery doesn’t exist today (that I know of), sterotyping does.
If you look at all the facts being shared in this campaign, and you still come to the conclusion that Senator John McCain is the best option for President, you’re either:
A: A Staunch Republican voting on party lines.
B: Someone who has reported Adjusted Gross Income of greater than $250k per year.
C: Stupid.
D: Racist.
So if you’re not a party line republican, making more than $250k a year, you’re either Stupid or a Racist. I’ll let you pick.

You know, what it really amounts to is that ( in general , yes there are a few exceptions however) WASP’s are terrified that someone is going to get elected that isnt one of them. I guess Jim Crow is going to have to get used to the idea … he he he. dont worry good ole boys. less than three weeks to go. then you wont matter again and the cockroaches can scurry back into the walls and crevices.

If McCain uses it he is portrayed as a racist. Any fact and proof you bring up about Obama is kicked back as being racist.
That is why he will not touch on Jeremiah Wright.
So who is being racist.
If you put the word white in everything Rev Wright says and said. Then Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would be SCREAMING how the whites are bringing the black down.

Planewiz…I read Michelle Obama thesis and as a white sociologist …I am not offended. Find something else to talk about because this has no value/conclusion of her personality.

Hey guys,
The question that needs to be asked is whether or not Obama still supports Odinga. It’s clear they had some kind of working relationship in the year prior to Odinga’s agreement with the Islamic community to enact Sharia Law. Of course, we all know what the answer will be…”That is not the Odinga I once knew”.

This is the type of thing that gives America a bad name. …ahhhhh, no. This is the type of thing that gives REPUBLICANS a bad name. The whole world is watching. HISTORY is watching, do you get that? Obama is the FIRST presidential candidate, and FOREVER in future history books they will look at how he was treated while he w as running. In the year 2208, 2308, after we’ve had many black presidents and it’s no big deal anymore, school children just might read this stupid women’s comments in their history books as an EXAMPLE of what the republican party stood for in 2008. Are ya proud?

BOYCOTT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!!!
TO ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN & MINORITY REPUBLICANS TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WITH THEIR UNCOUTH AND RACIST VIEWS!!!!!!
THIS IS NOT THE PARTY THAT SHARES YOUR VIEWS!!!!!!
VOTE DEMOCRATIC 2008 = OBAMA/BIDEN08

Shocking? Not so much.
And so much for the GOP contention that racism has played no role in this election. The GOP has for years defined itself as the party of exclusion.

What do you call people who vote for Obama just because he’s black? Is that not racism against John McCain? There is a flip side to every coin.

So who do the McCainiacs blame for the really damaging thisng done with McCain’s face this week. It was displayed side by side with Obama on a split creen during the debate. Who bugged out his eyes? Who made his head shake? Was that the MSM or Obama?

Nobody had better say ANYTHING about Obama! Look what happened to Joe the plumber…Obama thugs have pulled every bit of info on this guy and calling him all kinds of names…just because he voiced HIS opinion!! Who knows what will be next for Joe….I guess we have just lost our “freedom of speech” rights!! And Obama isn’t even been elected yet…wonder what other rights we will lose if he gets elected!! Guess the constitution will be changed too! SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we put John Mccain on the dollar with Vietnam causalities, vietnamese children and missing POW….Republicans would be pissed….Why…it is a sensitive issue and their is nothing funny about it. There are other ways to be funny this is not one of them!

OK, regardless of your political affiliation you have to see that this is in bad taste. Someone made a concious choice to use things that are a perceived stereotype for Black Americans. I am a white male, registered Republican and I feel this was in bad taste. Why not just copy a food stamp and put his picture on it if they truly wanted to “point out the outrageousness of his statement”. They did not have to put the other food pictures on the mailing.

Look people you can not make this much stuff up. It is real, scary and will ruin our country if Obama is elected.
Not telling you to vote MCCain hell vote for Nader or any of the other 4 people running.
Just research the man in depth you vote for, nake sure you learn what you can to make an informed choice.
Obama is a great speaker, buut that is about it.
I leave you with this.
Why does Obama and the press have to jump on the plumber to discredit him. They should be worrying about what Obama said.
SPREAD THE WEALTH!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good to me since it totally illustrates Obama’s tax plan of robbing hardworking taxpayers to give tax “refunds” to the 40 some % in this country who don’t even pay taxes in the first place. That’s wealth redistribution and welfare rolled into one.
Besides Obama has always claimed to be raised by a single mother who had to be on food stamps even though in reality his mother remarried an Indonesian executive who adopted Obama and he later lived with his middle class grandparents.

Well, golly, if Odinga says Obama is his cousin, then it surely must be true.
upurs: You put a link to the Canada Free Press in the same post as “EDUCATE YOURSELVES! THINK, ANALYZE AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SELL YOUR COUNTRY’S FUTURE!!” I’ll start feeling sorry for you as soon as I stop laughing.

wow – I guess the GOP is TRYING to destroy itself.

I’m fairly confident Abe Lincoln would not recognize today’s GOP.

There sure are a bunch of STUPID people out there!

I think I have been converted. Here I am, 54 years old, in the the 80k-100k income bracket, and I’m worried about Obama taking the country into socialism? Sayyyyy what? The way I see it, in 8 years, I can start to collect social security, except that I can’t afford to pay for my own health care. Now, if Obama can get me free health care, at 62 I can go ahead and start collecting my SS, the house I purchased 20 years ago will be paid for, draw a small amout out of my 401k each month for additional income, (although it has taken a hit, is still in pretty good shape, and certainly will be fine again 8 years) all the while taking care to keep myself in a low enough income bracket to make myself eligable for any “wealth redistribution” and tax breaks I will be now be entitled to as “low income”. Now I can be free to pursue my hobbies all the while letting all those 20-30-40 somethings support me. So tell me, what’s so wrong with socialism? Sign me up.

I’m sadden to see so many on the right defend this sort of racism as humorous.
It’s time that to crush them this election cycle. We need to send a strong message to the rignt wing that we’ve moved beyond the labels and the stereotypes that they use to divide us.

planewizard….that is why you dont understand it. With just your “high school” education, you should want to be more open-minded verse close-minded. When you realize that life and experiences has different meaning for different people, you will become more sensitive to these issues. Maybe it is time for you to take some college courses.

Echoing his father, he argues that the government should impose “tax laws that restore some balance to the distribution of the nation’s wealth.”

Well Ms. Fedele where i am from white people eat fried chicken. drink kool-aide,ribs and watermelons, maybe you and your fried brain should visit the south and see for your brain dead self. Heck whites even have a watermelon,eating and seed spitting contest every summer, so until you have visited done here and see for yourself you need to keep your racist attitude in your seedless brain. How in the world did you become president of such an organization,oh yeah they used the McCain vetting tactics i.e.(SARAH PALIN) and Joe the plumber we all know about him and her don’t we? She with no brain(WIZARD OF OZ) and he owing back taxes with no license to practice. YOU Ms.Fedele are a follower not a leader,and the republican women of California need to find a leader that is not so divisive.

I’m shocked that people are defending this depiction.
If that’s not a “racist” depiction then nothing is. I simply don’t understand how people, regardless of their political views, do not see this as offensive.

all you upset folks out there….where is your sense of humour??? have you never told a joke?? have you never listen to comedy central. it’s all in good fun and light hearted humour. where is america’s sense of humour PLEASE!!???

My personal feelings….I understand how you feel. Not all people feel this way or say things that are “tasteless”. However, it is people like you and me that can demand better for our children and our future. Speak up …Speak out…

John
So what if Obama’s father wrote it?
The tax rate in this country on incomes $3 million and above was once 91%. it was reduced to 70% and then Reagan got it lowered to 30%.
The rate Obama is on more that 3% of the current rate. in fact, it would return the rate to Clinton Era levels. That tax rate is hardly socialistic.

Ms Fedele says: “I didn’t see it the way that it’s being taken. I never connected,” she says. “It was just food to me. It didn’t mean anything else.” Could she really be that clueless? In any case, what does it say about Republicans that this kind of material is circulating through their networks?

bmb:
Obama doesn’t need to manipulate the press. The GOP is self-imploding without any help.

To those of you haters that really want to believe Obama wants to bankrupt our country I say it can’t even come close to what the Bush Administration has done to our country the last 8 years. We are trillions of dollars in debt and climbing. We have lots thoussands of lives in a bloody war that was not necessary. Why for WMD that were never found. Was it worth all the lives? Did all those soldiers need to die? I feel sorry for the families who lost their loved ones for what? This will be the Bush Administrations legacy. And ask yourself this important question. Do you thing Obama wants his two beautiful young daughters to inherit and make up for a trillion debt? I don’t think so!!! By the way if he is a terroist, then McCain should not be standing in the same room with him. And Obama should not be standing next to McCain who’s buddies were part of the Keating 5 scandal. And Ms. Palin is such a hypocrit abusing her power for personal reasons.

For all you people that says you don’t understand what the big deal is about the food…I get that (somewhat). But here is my question: if this is claimed not be racist why put Barack’s face on a donkey…what does that say? Or the fact that all of this is on a food stamp? What is the implication there? If this is not racism it surely is wearing a racist uniform!
So for you idiots that are trying to defend this and make comparisons you know where you can go…
Now, when President Obama wins…you extreme conservative right wing – character bashing, no consistent economic plan having, crab in the barrel being, toddlers can do what you told us to do when Duh-B Ya came into office. M-O-V-E!!!

“lincoln was a huge racist… they always tell you to read his second inaugural address… try reading his first… he cared nothing for slaves, slavery, or peoples rights”…. Oh here we go. Lincoln was trying to avoid civil war in his first inaugural address. He was pandering to southerners so they would not secede. When Steward tried to make the statement that slaves should be freed, or there was anything morally wrong with slavery, the senator from South Carolina came out with his bible in the senate making a long winded speech saying it was sanctioned by God and if anyone were so RADICAL as to try to outlaw slavery it would dissolve the union and it would be a bloody fight. Lincoln was elected because he, at first, was willing to try to pander to the south and allow them to keep their slaves so long as slavery was not allowed in the new territories. As we all know, that was not acceptable and the south committed treason, but dont blame Lincoln’s trying to save hundreds of thousands of lives on his repulsion to slavery. When you read his personal writings he found it offensive and a perversion to christianity yet he did not want to start the huge inevitable war that the south welcomed.

The Republican Party has long-enough manipulated America with it’s hate and fear-mongering ways.
They used these same tactics over the last two presidential elections and administrations. Evidently these tactics have spread amongst their most uneducated and those who cannot accept that America is indeed a melting pot.
The behavior by the so called “president” of the Chaffey Community Republican Women is unacceptable and we call upon their members to remove her immediately.

you saw my halloween costume…good job!!

the Lord will decide the outcome of this election, and clearly Palin is close to the Lords heart. She and McCain will restore the good Christian values of this nation and root out the extremists who devalue these sacred foundations of this country.

For those that fear an OBAMA Presidency…
How much WORSE than a conservative, nonregulated, war driven, economy plummeting George W presidency can he be? With the debt that we have driven up and loss of jobs over the past 8 years, who will and how do you expect it to be repaid?? Do you NOT worry that the best and brightess the Red Party had to offer are burned out and out of fresh ideas? If not, then why were they not sent or offered their services to George W before things went to hell in a handbasket? Why did they not step up as candidates for VP? Was Palin truly the most qualified and likeable Republican candidate to select from?
If Obama is elected, give the man a chance. Chances are an Obama/Biden Presidency will be leaps and bounds better than a McClain/Palin from both a Domestic/Global perspective and certainly no worse than a George W!
With Obama, maybe we can be optimistic enough for the future of our children and our society. This country is a melting pot made up of more than the neo-conservatives. It needs both balance and vision. Obama has lived and experienced life from both races and cultures. Not many of our elected politicians have that perspective. Biden has truly lived the life of a middle class and experienced its ups and downs. While at the same time he is a Foreign Policy expert.
The greatness of America is built on the merits of progressive thinkers and those willing to pursue root causes of problems and seek change and improve the life and opportunity of all the people. That is what truly gives us hope!

Republican Diane Fedele, who put sterotypical bigoted images like watermelon and fried chicken on a fake dollar, is such a liar. Like most bigots, Fedele got all coy and silly when caught lying. Coward.
ps…the majority of folks on Food Stamps are white, Diane.

i’ve grown tired of this ridiculous debate. Everyone here should be renouncing this. Regardless, I’ll make my opinion known by heading over to the Obama website and donating again!
Obama/Biden 2008!

@ Southern – I know that wasn’t the intention (but I will give you that). How about everything else? Doesn’t it reek with implications?

well SOME republicans have stuped to a new low…they are desperate to do what ever they can to discredit the democratic man running for president, and if a democrat did that to a republican, they would be crying foul from here to China, but yet the would be president is taking this all in stride. Good for your Obama, you class shows..unlike your opponets.. Grow up people, it’s not about race, it’s about voting for who is best for this COUNTRY. Clearly it’s ignorance on the people who created this and still have a closed mind….I am ready for a change from what we have had, and I voted republican in the last election. We are one nation, one people, not republican or democrat.

Yea, maybe the press should dig into Obamas past the way John McCain dug into Palin’s. Mmm she has abused her power as governor for personal reasons. She would make a perfect VP and why not President? Someone who abuses power like Palin and someone involved in swinding people out of money in the Keating 5 make great leaders!! I think that Obama is an open book. Everything is out and even the horrible lies about his association with terroists. I bet you probably did not know about John McCain’s little Keating 5 scandal. Huh?

Jake; that’s uncalled for!!

Ester_L…..God doesn’t like liars,”the bride to Nowhere”, those who violate the law…Palin’s violate the code of ethics,and who teaches hate….Palin creating an environment of hate. God is sad with Palin’s service to the American people.

Yeah, she never put it together that fried chicken, watermelon, and food stamps could be taken as a racist statement. Nobody’s buying that. Where do these people get off creating this stuff and then pleading ignorant?

Wow, if it wasn’t meant to be racist then why is they put fried chicken, watermelon, kool-aid and ribs on the “food stamp”. You are gross and entitled and have little to no sense of respect for the history of this country. Face it, racism exists in you and for whatever reason you fight to justify your ignorance. Elections are ugly, how can you not know that. No one cares what you say…but elections exist to attempt to create better lives for all. Gross, just gross.

Very possibly the most tasteless, low-class garbage I’ve yet seen.

***BREAKING NEWS***
Collin Powell and Candi Rice to endorse Obambo!
p.s
So is King Kong and Blacky..the blackest of all black sheep!

I just saw Michelle Bachman, Congress woman from Minnesota on television. Wow folks in Minnesota should be proud of her! She seemed to be resurecting McCarthyism in this country! She practically said if you’re a liberal, you’re un-American and that there may be some un-American people in Congress from the liberal side of the aisle and that the news media should start investigating!
What a damn idiot! It’s scary to think that some in positions of power in this country haven’t learned a damn thing from history!

wethepeople, great post. You made a terrifc point to Repubs afraid of an Obama presidency: how bad could it be, really? During the last 8 years our beloved country has lost respect around the world, invaded another country, bombed and occupied it for years at great financial loss and ruined lives, seen a financial meltdown due to de-regulation, a recession, record foreclosures and bankruptcies & oil prices through the roof.
Read Obama’s proposals under policies and relax. He is intelligent, his heart is in the right place and he can only help us out of this mess.

This is CLEARLY racist. It doesn’t matter, as some say, that “blacks are also racist against whites…” Blah, blah, blah. The fact of that matter is that this actions covered in this PARTICULAR story are exceedingly and exceptionally racist. End of story. You can’t possibly effectively argue any differently. Anyone who condones this type of behavior is also racist and by condoning it is perpetuating the problem. As a caucasian I am sickened and appalled by this stunt.

“WATERMELON was abundant in early american days in the south and one of the cheapest foods you could feed your slaves to keep them alive and hydrated while they worked in the hot southern sun that didn’t cost you much money. I went to a museum in Nantucket last year where they talked about saltedcod. Another extremely cheap food masters would feed their slaves. alongwith, you guessed it, CHICKEN, and if you FRIED it in fat it had so many calories it was a cheap way to feed alot of slaves. RIBS as well, were the cheapest cuts of meat. the wealthy white owners would eat the steak, give the ribsto the slaves. this stuff is not funny. do we joke about smallpox with Indians and how we left them blankets that had teh small pox virus on purpose as a form of biological warfare that particularly decimated their chidren? Is this funny? that slaves ate the scraps of their masters tables? this is funny? They grew to like the tastes of the cheap fattening food that was forced on them for generations and made it part of their lifestyle as a coping mechanism. Is that funny?”….Thanks Paul.

Drop Palin and get Joe the Plumber
What a laughing stock McCain is

It’s very easy for SOME white people to view this and say black people need to let go of the past. How can we when SOME white people make sure we never forget. There is a certain ignorance that SOME people have when it comes to racisim. I deal w/the same BS everyday in the workplace and for the life of me I don’t understand why it happens. SOME white people are racist and SOME are just ignorant to what is deemed racist. SOME black people call one another the “N” word the there are SOME black people who dispise the word and never use it and teach others not to use it.
Then we have people who don’t know ANYTHING about the black culture other than what they see on TV speak critically of a race they don’t know anything about. You sit and read the paper, watch shows and or listen to others. It’s ignorant acts of racism that keep the brick wall between black and white people. Just there are problems with in the black communities and our race itself. There are as many problems facing white families and communities.
When someone black kills another black it makes SOME white people see blacks as a failing race.
What do you see when some well to do white kids walks into a school and kills a classroom of innocent people. Ill tell you what some white people see…an isolated incident.

Conservatives are looking at their whole Reagan religion circling the drain and they are going nut case. Their whole philosophy on economics, foreign policy is bankrupt and rotting. People are waking up to their underhanded methods, and their movement is gone and they are getting small, cold, and lonely except for the dead enders. This racist e-mail is symbolic of their downfall. It’s all they intellectually have left.

.let it drop! It is because of people like you racism still exists. It is ok for a African American to make jokes about Whites but if it was the reverse you would act like the gate of He## opened up. This is such a double standard. I watch many African American comedians joke about white people and I think its funny. God forbid there would be a white Chris Rock
Posted by: bmb
BMB, this is not a comedy show and was not done in the context of comedy, there is a difference.It is unlikely that it would have been passed by without a blip, but for fedele to state that it had no connotations for her and she didnt see how it would offend, makes it an example of how racism is accepted and entrenched in some of us. To compare this to a comedy sketch by anyone, white or black is an example of how low down your values are. This is why america remains the most racist developed country on earth! Racist refuse to acknowledge their racism, and this goes for ALL races of people.

Can someone please explain why it is so wrong to want to spread the wealth around? This doesn’t mean take away from someone to give to another, but to provide more opportunities for people to acquire some wealth, instead of struggle more and more every day to just be where they were ten years ago. Hell, aren’t we spreading the wealth through the Social Security program? Through corporate tax breaks and loopholes? Through subsidies to corporate farms? Re: SS, my dollars today fund someone’s monthly check. If you’re afraid that “spread the wealth” means some form of socialism, then wake up – we already have many socialist programs in place. And many people who fear Obama because he might just not put the focus on giving more breaks to folks making $250,000 or more per year would probably cry foul if some programs such as SS went away. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, folks. And oh yeah, that Jesus guy many of you follow? He wasn’t big on keeping your money to yourself.

Check out comedian RALPIE or RALPHY MAY who is WHITE he rips on BLACK people all the time and performs in front of black people. He comedy is viewed as harmless and hiliarious. ALL black people don’t critize white for their jokes SOME white people should find out what are SOCIALLY accepted jokes and work around that. How could you depict a presidential candidate on a dang foodstamp and think that’s right…

The excuses I’ve read from Republicans trying to justify the racist mailings from the McCain people are stupid and make no sense. The GOPers have created their own reality, where is ok to avoid the real issues affecting our economy, education, healthcare, foreign affairs, tax cuts and jobs, to focus on the stereo-type they have created about Obama and other Democrats. People voting Republican are as out of touch as McCain and Bush themselves.

Posted by mike: “LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT!! THE RACISM STARTED AT THE REPUBLICAN RALLIES WHICH WERE LED BY MS. PALIN.”
Mike, you might want to read beyond the misleading headlines. There was no racial tone whatsoever at Governor Palin’s rally.
Senator Obama’s hit man, John Lewis is the one who tried to inject race. This sleezy campaign tactic has been employed by the Obama campaign for the last year. Look up some of the remarks by Clyburn during the Democratic primary.

Someone needs to tell Palin (and this woman), that, in the words of Walter Cronkite: “…tolerance is a stage of development unacceptably short of total commitment to undiluted equal rights for all”.
The racism that seethes under the surface of right wing, radical, raging Republicans is disgusting to the true patriotic Americans.

SOME OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE OPENED UP SOME OF THE WORST WOUNDS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN AMERICA. FOR ALL OF YOU THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY I’M NOT PREJUDICE YOU ARE JUST A BIG FAT LIAR! BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALLOWED YOUR CONTEMPT FOR A BLACK MAN OR BLACK PEOPLE PERIOD CAUSE YOU THE BE EXPOSED, MY GOD PEOPLE THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAD TO VOTE FOR A POLITIAN THAT THEY DID’NT FEEL HAD THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART BUT THEY VOTED ANYWAY AND YOU DID NOT HEAR THEM SAY THINGS LIKE SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING. THREATENING TO KILL HIM (OBAMA)CALLING HIM THE N WORD YOU PEOPLE BETTER HURRY UP AND GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER BECAUSE THE WORLD IS WATCHING AND HOW THEY PRECEIVE US, THEY THINK THAT WE ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF RACIST BIGGOTS. AS BAD AS BUSH WAS AND HOW HE HAD CAUSE MANY OF YOUR CHILDREN TO BE KILLED OVER IN IRAQ AND DONT SAY THAT’S NOT TRUE BECAUSE IT IS! ANY TIME THAT YOU LIE TO THE MILITARY TO GET THEM TO GO TO WAR ON A COUNTRY THAT HAS NOT PREVOKED YOU AND YOU LIE ABOUT WMD THEN YOU CAUSE THOSE KIDS TO TO DIE IN VAIN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL BE WHAT WE HAD TO GAIN BY GOING INTO IRAQ HIND SIGHT. WE ARE THE WORSE OFF FOR IT YOU GUY BETTER START SEARCHING YOUR HEART BECAUSE BITTERNESS AND UNFORGIVENESS NOT ONLY DEFILES YOU BUT EVERYONE AROUND YOU.

FedUp; The problem with “Spreading Wealth Around” (or Obama’s socialisic tax policy), can be said in 4 letters; U.S.S.R.
The problem that occurs is; lets use a very good; family friendly movei; “Father of the Bride”
The Steve Martin character is living a good life. He owns a sneaker manufacturing company in order to provide a good life to his family. He has many obligations besides his family, namely, other peoples families; his employee’s, and he appears to do a good job at providing for all. “He, in all appearance is a good guy, a hard worker, and a value to society.
Now, under Obama’s tax plan, he and his company will be taxed to death. He won’t employ as many workers. His standard of living will depreciate, and being human, and having a typical “human nature,” he’ll say; “screw this, why should I work for somebody else?”
I believe he’s right.
He won’t become a slacker, but he may have to go off shore to hire a cheaper worforce. His loyal employees will be laid off etc.
It becomes even worse if it’s a public company where shareholders (stock buyers), are actually running the company (btw, most CEO’s work for shareholders). Nobody goes into business, or invests (through stock purchases) to loose money. Public company’s will have added pressure to divest, in order to bring value to shareholders.
Take both example and multiply it by millions of businesses in this country and we’ll have the Soviet Union all over again. If you’re not a history buff Comrade, just let me tell you, that didn’t work out so well!

I keep hearing about the Keating 5.
But never hear about the who they were except for John Mccain. Maybe the reason is the other 4 are DEMOCRATS.

why does everything has to be about race? no one in their right minds would put Obama’s pic on a food stamp, unless they weren’t being racist. but they are just making fun that more black people receive food stamps than their race, which to them they think are superior and wouldn’t need it. well, think again, it looks as though Bush may have put everyone on food stamps with his failure as president. i hate it that Obama has to see things like this, just because he is trying to make a difference by becoming president. don’t deny him this right, God made us to “all” to be whatever we want to be in this world and race should not decide it because being African American, we have to work 10 times harder than the average race. but, eventually, we make it and Obama has, even if he doesn’t win or do win and i hope he does, we are all proud of him because he has closed the deal that we can do anything if we believe in ourselves and work hard and the fact that he was put on a food stamp is to show how “stupid” and “ignorant” this world is. don’t need to apologize now, you made yourself look as stupid as you are. i am backing Obama and i don’t doubt for one minute he won’t become president. i’m praying for you Obama and God bless this man but God have mercy on all who hate and deny you because of race. i feel sorry and pity for ignorant and racist people, sooner or later your own hate will destroy you. every man for himself but God for us all but i love everyone regardless of who and what they are.

How edifying to know that this Republican women’s group is both racist and tacky. Where I come from, the latter is considered to be almost, if not quite, as bad as the former. In fact, some people would say that the two qualities invariably go hand in hand.

tony: My only real regret is that there were two very fine Americans among the Keating 5 that got caught up in this and that was Senator John Glenn and John McCain. Of course, this was the John McCain before he turncoated and started to cater to the Neo-Con conservatives.

Sleep tight boyz n girlz; Just remember, it’s not how much money you make, it’s how much you can save!
Or;
It’s how much you can keep!

Let’s see. If you earn $226,981 you will get a tax cut of $4380 under McCain. $2789 under Obama.

Politicians I do believe it was Bush Sr. who said that? Nuff said.

I don’t know how many African-Americans or Native Americans are writing on this blog – but as a Latina, let me just say that not everyone “gets” racism at first. If you are part of the majority society that is causing pain to a group, it may take years for you to realize it – or you may never “see” it. So to say this isn’t racist, is not to state fact.
But, I’m glad that some of this is coming out. It’s like a cork in a good bottle of wine – and I am optimistic that some of the people who begin with babble like this food stamp – may ultimately be people who have great realizations about themselves and their role in making this country what it is.
As far as Rev. Wright goes – he is a different generation from Obama. But, surely, you feel the same way about something – a frustration that the US, for whom Wright served honorably as a Marine – is not living up to the Christian principles that he knows – that we all know.
But the worst part of this is not that this is coming out, but that some people are doing and saying the same things over and over. There is no group that has all good people or all bad people – that is what makes this world so interesting. There are terrible, awful right-wing Republicans and there are some great, generous right wingers, too. Same with all of us.
So, when I pray it is that we all find a way to see each other as individuals – as people – and stop letting hate get in the way of working together.
Mmmm, popcorn sounds great right now. Come on over! Love, Mom

Don’t laugh, you may need the “Obama Bucks” to live, if the Obama socialists take over in January.
Remember: Spread the Wealth !!!!!
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
Obama has promised to lower payroll taxes, but fails to discuss his agenda to raise numerous other taxes.
INCOME TAX:
MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $31,250
OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K – tax $8,400
Single making 50K – tax $14,000
Single making 75K – tax $23,250
Married making 60K – tax $16,800
Married making 75K – tax $21,000
Married making 125K – tax $38,750
Under Obama your taxes will more than double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses,
farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families
for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to
these taxes.
NEW ADDITIONAL TAXES BY OBAMA
* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than
2400 square feet
* New gasoline, diesel, bio-fuel, CNG, kerosene, and LPG taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already)
* New taxes on natural gas, water/sewer, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts: IRA, 401 – this would seriously hurt retirees and hurt working americans to save for their retirement!
* New taxes on all business, small and large. The current tax rate is 35%, the highest in the world! This could hurt or eliminate many small business’s.
* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine – taxes on your health insurance insurance premiums!
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales, hurt retirees!
How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you
will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement
and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement
community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This
proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income
from their homes as part of their retirement income.
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6%
How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock
market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement
accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now
be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that ‘higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

You will be thinking “Nuff said” when your Messiah stsrt backtracking and because of unforseen circumstances has to change the rules. You do remember he was the one who pledged to take public financing and then “changed” his mind. If you think that Republicans are the only politicians that lie, you are in for a real big surprise. Gotta lie, err, I mean, live and learn I guess. You’ll see what I mean.

Richard
…… you’re missing a point. Actually, you’re promoting a lie. Obama isn’t going to take back the Bush tax cuts for the under $200,000 income earner. To place in your column associated income rates under that figure and say that Obama is rolling back the Bush tax rates for those people is….. well.. it’s a lie!
I’m pretty sure you didn’t crunch those numbers so obviously you got them from some right-wing, bile spewing, source.
But of course, honestly really doesn’t matter when you have rabid Repubs willing to say or do anything to avert the inevitable.

Richard J stop putting BS proven wrong on Snoops on the site please.

The right wingers hate socialism but the welfare rolls have swelled the past 8 years. So why do they want to have more unwanted children born here?
PRO-LIFE? Health care for all Americans!
ANTI-ABORTION? Adopt a special needs child!
Become part of the solution, not the problem.
Arizonan Against McBush/Bubba

The Republican Women who were offended by Obama mentioning his “race” – get over it! Thanks for your add! You have hit a home run! You have helped turn America’s attention to the disgraceful levels the Republican party will go and how desperate you have become in your attempt to stay in power! You would eat your own!

It does not matter who is President, taxes are going up. Remember “Read my lips, no new taxes”. So arguing over taxes is stupid, because this country is in debt and at some point someone is going to have to pay those debts off…doesn’t matter if Obama wins or McCain wins. Bush is leaving a HUGE debt on the country and the next President. The TAX PAYING public will have to pay these debts…I am sure China wants the billions we owe them paid back at some point. ;-)
Obama/Biden 08

How does Diane Fedele lie? Let me count the ways….

Now that’s good old fashioned racism! And it’s 2008! It’s nothing more than desperation in action.

This is what I am confused about. All of the networks know that the tone from the violent and hateful people at McCain/Palin campaigns is totally different from Obama’s and yet they reference the violence from both campaigns. What violence you liars? There are clips from McCain’s which are played over and over again on every station, but none from Obama’s. It is clear that you are lying and trying to not make McCain’s campaign look as Evil as they are. No network in the United States has shouts of Kill McCain or McCain the Terrorist or making food stamps with McCain’s picture on the head of an animal with watermelon and fried chicken. This is evil. We are not stupid and you insult the intelligence of every minority by insinuating that this is not racist. You got an Ignorant Racist Group “Chaffey Community Republican Women headed by Diane Fedele publicizing and bragging about this racist act. I was highly offended and people should go to that community and protest and if we can sue them for Civil Rights violation, they should. You have phone calls of lies about Barack Obama being left on answering machines. I got 2 of them. If I can find a way to sue for harassment, I will. This is not a Republican tactic, this a racist attack. Representative Lewis does not have to apologize to anyone. Until McCain actually stops inciting this violence and hate, which stirs these ignorant racist people, then no should apologize to you. If you want it to stop, then stop Palin the liar from inciting it. If every network can get it on a TV clip, then how can you say that you do not hear it. If you got the same thing being said at Obama rallies, then where is it. You know if it were out there, you would be playing it non-stop from outer space so there would be no interruptions. Do not insult our intelligence with trying to justify these acts as normal politics. It is not normal. It is not politics. It is racist.

Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R) on Chris Matthews show, Hardball has just called for an investigation by all U.S. media of all Deomocrats to see if they are – and I quote “American enough” to be U. S, citizens. John McCain and Sarah Palin will make the decision as soon as they get into office. You had better vote Obama supporters!! You see whats coming!!!!

Exactly right annazette. But neither one of these two dunderheads we have “chose” from is going to tell you that. Well, at least not untill they are elected. That’s when the real “change” will come. As in, “There will be a small “change” in plans from what I promised you” Apparently there are an awful lot of posters on here for whom this is their first time to be following a Preisdential election. There are going to be a lot of broken hearts in the not all that distant future.

You are seeing today an all out attempt
to marshal the forces of the opposition,
using not merely the communists, or their fellow travelers-the deluded liberals, the eggheads, and some of my good friends in both the Democratic and Republican Parties who can become heros over night in the eyes of the left-wing press if they will just join with the jackal pack”
“proclaimed his loyalty to a man guilty of what has always been considered as the most abominable of all crimes — being a traitor to the people who gave him a position of great trust — high treason. … He has lighted the spark which is resulting in a moral uprising and will end only when the whole sorry mess of twisted, warped thinkers are swept from the national scene so that we may have a new birth of honesty and decency in government.”
Does any of this type rhetoric sound familiar? Actually these quotes are credited to Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, shamed and vilified Republican from Wisconsin who went on his anti-communist witch hunt in the 50′s. He died a drunk, in disgrace, after America and some brave elected officials and news folks like Edward R Murrow said enough is enough.
McCarthyism is alive and well and finds its home smack in the middle of the Republican party!

John – the article you link is an OPINION not NEWS… an OPINION by a REPUBLICAN SPINSTER… you must like ann colter too

OMG, I just found out that I don’t live in a “Pro America” part of the country according to Ms. Palin. I better move south to a small town QUICKLY or perhaps to Chaffey, CA!!

It’s the result of a simple fact: the Democrats just don’t fight as dirty as the Republicans, and they never have. You can follow a path that runs from the McCarthy era of the 1950s, to the career of Richard Nixon (Watergate, after all, began with an attempt to steal files from the Democratic National Committee), to the dubious achievements of Bush 41 operator Lee Atwater (who once memorably said of Michael Dukakis that he would “strip the bark off the little bastard”), to the Clinton-impeachment fiasco, to the post-election mess in Florida in 2000. In every instance, there has been virtually nothing the Republicans would stop at in order to achieve their goals.
so why does it surprise us with this Caricature, they have done it before and if allowed will do it again, it is up to you and your vote as to your answer to it.

2 Sad
I live in the South, but I am probably anti-American because I am a Democrat. ;-)

But look at the bright side. If everyone is on food stamps, apparently the economy will benefit 1.73 for every 1.00 spent. We can then use some of that to finanace the free health care. It’s a win-win, everyone gets to eat themselves into a heart attack, and get a little free R&R at the local hospital afterwards.

like I said, it shouldn’t surprise us we have seen it before I wouldn’t even consider it racit as much as they are hell bend on keeping power, they will do every thing they can in to demonize their opponents,Their rhetoric betrays their intent: whereas the Democrats think the Republicans pursue wrong, harmful policies — hardly a surprise — the Republicans tend to see the Democrats as evil, unpatriotic, weak, pathetic, dangerous. This demonization leads to outrageous hypocrisy, since the Republicans believe that they are always right and the Democrats always wrong.

Forget it John. Let them re-live history if that is what it takes. It seems to be a fact that people just don’t appreciate, much less understand something unless they experience it firsthand. Apparently the only way people really understand what it is like to be oppressed and live in real fear for their lives from their government is to do exactly that. It’s amazing and at the same time sad to see terms like “Nazi” and “Fascist” being used by people who have absolutely no idea from firsthand experience what that really means. But here is a clue. The day this country comes to that, most of those posting here would already be in jail or dead, or soon to be.

Did they have permission to use a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken on their silly and immature little efforts of placing Obama’s face on a foodstamp dollar? If not, they should be up for a lawsuit brought by the Kentucky Fried Chicken Corp. See how funny that will be when their butts end up in court.

WOMAN for a CHANGE that racism strikes two cords, on both sides. So stop play innocent and acting like all the whites in America are bad folks!! Because they are not, the same could be said for racist blacks. SAD but it exists strongly. I know folks shouldn’t be this way but there are a few bad apples in our society. But please stop grouping everyone together.

That’s just ignorant.

If ever there was a reason to vote AGAINST a party, that ad is IT.
If McCain and Palin don’t come out and IMMEDIATELY denounce this racist piece of propaganda for what it is – racist, divisive and insulting to ANY American, regardless of race, creed, color or political affiliation.
And, yes, I would say the same thing, regardless of WHO was being portrayed in such a demeaning, racist and vile light, regardless of which party they might belong to and regardless of whether or not I happened to agree with their policies, personalities or vision for the future of this great nation!
I have not heard Mr. Murtha’s statement, but, if the report, noted by another post, is accurate, then that’s not right, either and should also be denounced.
There is NO room and NO place for racist agit-prop in ANY American political campaign – there are issues that are far too important to get buried under such slime!

Don’t worry it’s been done, but linking Obama to folks he has surrounded himself is to learn about who the person is. That is not an attack on skin color my friend it’s a wake up call on who we are suppose to be electing. Guess what? Obama still hasn’t provided his birth certificate/ original, a suit was filed against him, by who? A fellow Democrat, because it’s unconstitutional to run for President and not provide your actual birth records, and not that BS certificate on his web site. Also never has provided his college records either, so he has such a great record and schooling but not proud enough to show it? Sounds like more hiding to me, and Economics, and people’s needs are a big distraction from people clearing his background, because before you can go forward a bit of history must be cleared ya know, this is still the US of A. and geez he’s only running for President? Go figure the audacity of the public clearings?

Look, I am from The American Hispanic/Indian culture and I know first hand about racism. SO you grow some wisdom, because many of my fore fathers birthed America. Secondly, religion has no place in politics, and throwing hate towards folks because of their actions shows no compassion and tolerance. I don’t think is was right for who ever did these depictions but nor can anyone prove who did it unless someone steps forward. So propaganda could be in the makings here to stir emotion in which it clearly has. So I say to you if you are a God/ Loving Human give the Love back without the return of hate, you just might learn something. Stop the hate, you can do it, it doesn’t matter what people do, LOVE Conquers all remember that.

I have said before on this comment section: America we are on a cross road, we can either choose to go the same path which is boobie trap with fear and significant economic uncertainty, or choose Obama/Biden who’s focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator.

Not Racist Huh ?: I grew up in PA. Philadelphia is like 60 % black. Pittsburg less so. The rest of the state is like 1940′s Appalachia. I’d be leary of the the polls numbers until after Nov. 4th. This is just my opinion.
I still like PA, but I’m happy to not live there anymore.

GOP – Get Out of Politics.
