So Jimmy Carter and a bunch of other idiotarians have claimed that most if not all of the opposition to Obama’s Health Insurance Takeover is because Obama is black.  Here’s where I’m having a problem.  How do these guys think it would have gone if Obama wasn’t black?  Like, say John Edwards won.  Do they really think it would have gone like this?

John Edwards, POTUS:  I want to completely take over health insurance and fine anyone who doesn’t pay for it.

Republicans: What?

John Edwards: Single payer healthcare.  It’s time.  We Won.

Republicans:  Well…

John Edwards: IwonIwonIwon!!!

Republicans: Well… okay.

John Edwards:  I’m glad you guys are on board.  Why, just the other day I was channeling dead babies, and they told me that socialized medicine was just what this country needed.

Joe Wilson: YOU LIE!

Republicans:  Joe?  WTF?  Can’t you tell that the president is white?

Joe Wilson: Huh?  (Squints)  Oh, sorry, sorry.  I just got new contacts.

George W. Bush:  Hey, some racist said that you also want to give free healthcare to illegal aliens.  Is that true?

John Edwards: YOU LIE!

Democrats: Damnit George, what the hell?  This isn’t some black guy, this is the president of the United States of America!  I don’t know about you, but we think that’s a pretty important office.  How dare you treat a president like that, you monkey-faced Hitler-like person that we have constant assassination fantasies about!

John Edwards: Oh, and we need a new tax.  Cap and Trade.  Give it.

Republicans: Hey, we’re in the middle of a recession.  Might be a depression.  We don’t think that this is a good time to raise taxes.  We don’t think that there is a good time to raise taxes, but this is probably the worst.

John Edwards: Achem.  (Holds up a porcelain plate to his face and points)

Republicans: Oh, right, right, we forgot.  Go ahead.

Kanye West: This joint session of Congress is pretty good, and I’m gonna let you see it, but I just wanna say, Hillary had the best socialized medicine plan of all time.  Of all time!

Police are investigating a brick with an offensive message thrown into the window of an East Austin home.

The brick, thrown through a 4-year-old boy’s bedroom window, read “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.”

The homeowner, Barbara Frische, who is white, said she has lived in the home for 10 years.

“It’s the first time anything like this has ever happened to me,” she said.

Frische was featured in a Statesman Watch article published in May in which she lobbied for action to be taken on a charred house that posed a safety hazard.

She has not received negative feedback from area residents about the article, she said, and does not believe this morning’s incident is connected to it.

Police have not classified this incident as a hate crime, said Austin Police Sgt. Richard Stresing, because hate crimes target an individual specifically because of an identifying characteristic, like race. Police say the incident has been classified as criminal mischief and deadly conduct.

Let me ask you — if a brick had been thrown through the window of a black family’s home that said, “Keep Eastside White.  Keep Eastside Strong.” that there would be any question that this qualified as a hate crime?

A pool club run by a left-wing Obama supporter runs a bunch of black kids out?  That’s going to get constant coverage in the afrosphere (except for the “the club is run by an Obama supporter” and the “it was a safety issue” part.)

If a Republican candidate has an offensive comment on her facebook page, well, that needs wall to wall posting too.  Never mind that it was a commenter, not her.

On the other hand, A black mob chanting “It’s a black world” while they attempt to lynch a white family? Not so much as a peep.

Barack Obama hates white people. And I’m not the only one thinking it.

Perhaps some of you may be familiar with my, “yes, there are still racists out there, but they are poor, stupid and powerless” line? Case in point. These idiots were initially reported as being in a plot to shoot Obama.  Now, it turns out that they were stupid, poor, racist asshole methhead drunks.  Funny thing is, racist methhead drunks say stupid shit to piss people off, and one of these idiots apparently proved it.

I’m glad that Obama is safe and that these criminals are off the street.

Could someone explain to me why it is bad for a white person to call another white person a N-lover, but it is OK for a black person to call another black person an Uncle Tom?

So now Obama says that McCain is going to get racist… any day now. Seriously.  Right around the corner.

“Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he’s not patriotic enough, he’s got a funny name, you know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

You know, we’ve been hearing this shit from Obama for a couple of months now.  What we haven’t been hearing is this shit from anyone in the McCain camp.  These sort of predictions only work if they pan out — or there isn’t time to let them pan out.  If Obama had waited until October 25th for this, it might have worked.  But now what is going to happen is that no one in the McCain camp is going to touch it, and now Obama looks like just another race pimp talking about reperations and making baseless racism claims.

Obama has never had to run a real campaign in a real race.  He got his state senate race by judicial shenanigans and stabbing Alice Palmer in the back — thus running unopposed in the Dem primary (which in that district is the real election.)  Then, when he ran for US Senate, the only reason he won was because his camp — again, through judicial shenanigans — got Jack Ryan’s sealed child custody records unsealed, and got the Tribune to run the attack article.  Obama won another unopposed election.

And now, he’s in the big time, the big show, and he doesn’t have the experience at running campaigns for prime time.  He looks like a chump and an amateur, and McCain is no amateur in running campaigns.  Obama has the press in the tank.  Obama’s got an opposition president in the low 20s on approval polls.  He’s got a ton of cash.  And he still can’t get over 50% in the polls. About the only thing that he has gotten right  so far is that he better start going for desperation plays now, since he can’t get a significant lead on McCain, and McCain hasn’t even really started campaigning yet.

I really thought that we were going to be looking at a Democratic president for the next four years as soon as the GOP let McCain secure the nomination, because there is no doubt in my mind that Hillary would beat him like a drum.  And then the DNC decided to nominate a candidate even weaker than McCain.  Bizarre.
