It looks like something Ravi would dream up, then attribute to someone on the right wing.

Nice deflection, but it was your party that did this.

 

[AllieBaba]

Nope. It was an individual who did it. You know, like Acorn isn't corrupt...they just hire corrupt individuals?

Besides which, I'd still bet it was some lefty loon spraying shit. It usually is.

This is not racism, it is racist of you to imply it is.

The point of it is to show Obama as a welfare socialist, it has nothing to do with Race.

 

[Red Dawn]

showing a black man with watermelon and fried chicken is racist.

Everyone knows it.

Those that deny it are liars.

But it’s okay for Obama to stand on a stage and spew racisms like: and I’m adlibbing here “I don't look like the other guys on the dollar bills”. Your party didn't do that, your candidate did.

Obama Concedes Racial Dimension to 'Dollar Bill' Comments; Says McCain Campaign Not Racist, But Cynical

August 02, 2008 11:29 AM

In Cape Canaveral, Fla., this morning, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., blasted off against the attacks coming from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

"This is the same thing that was done four years ago or eight years ago," Obama said, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller. "You guys are all familiar with this … we have seen this movie before."

Obama said, “The one thing we know about the team that John McCain's assembled -- because it's a carryover from some of the folks that worked on Bush campaigns and some of the Republican campaigns in the past -- is that they're very good at negative campaigns. They're not so good at governing. And that's why if you think about this week, what they've been good at is distraction. You've got statistics saying we've lost another 50,000 jobs. That Florida's in recession for the first time in a decade and a half. And what was being talked about were Paris and Britney."

But Obama also admitted that, despite what Obama senior adviser Robert Gibbs told reporters, there was a racial dimension to his Missouri remarks in which he said McCain and the Republicans would make an issue of the fact that he doesn't look like presidents who have been on the dollar bills.

Also, what's with you regarding watermelon and fried chicken? Is that some kind of African-American food only? Like the lady in the article said "it's just food to me". Personally, I like both.

In San Bernardino County, a Republican women's organization sent a monthly newsletter to its members that carried a racially insensitive depiction of Obama. "Obama talks about all those presidents that got their names on bills. If elected, what bill would he be on? Food Stamps, what else!" read the caption above an "Obama Bucks" bill cartoon image in the latest edition of the Chaffey Community Republican Women Federated newsletter. The independent community organization is not a part of the state Republican Party, and its newsletter is distributed to a few thousand members in the county.

Next to the senator's image was a bucket of fried chicken, a slab of ribs, a slice of watermelon and a pitcher of Kool-Aid. Diane Fedele, the organization's president, took responsibility for the image and apologized "if it offended anyone."

She meant it "to represent food, nothing else. I'm not a racist. I'm a German Jew whose (grandparents) had to leave Germany. Why would I be racist? But I was angry and upset about what (Obama) is going to do to this country," Fedele said. "He's going to return it to the welfare state.

"And why aren't you asking me about the porno movie some people are making about Sarah Palin," Fedele said, referring to a pornographic film in production that allegedly includes doppelgangers for Palin. "That's offensive, too, just in a different light."

McCain is less socialist than Obama.

I never said he was not socialist.

Oh and for all you people who saw my first post and pounced, please not after I took a closer look I admitted it is racist and CHILL THE FUCK OUT!!


WHY ARE you Liberal socialist fucks so uptight, you are about to have full control of the country and be able to fuck it up like you have always wanted to.

Oh wait maybe it is because you know once you control both houses of congress and the white house, you will no longer be able to blame others for the ill effects of your Policies.

Who could have predicted that a Bush/McCain supporter would say there's nothing racist about depicting a black man with fried chicken and water melon?
