Sure, you might see the Al Jazeera logo at the bottom of this screen, but those are Americans that are making us look bad, not the announcer who just happens to be speaking the truth.
Let’s address these comments one by one… They are all ludicrous to the point of hilarity, but for the sake of argument, I’m going to tackle them anyway. I need the laugh this morning.
“I’m afraid that if he wins, the black will take over”
Yeah, because he’ll pass that “Kill Whitey” law that the black community has been clamoring for all these years. Pay no attention to Congress or the Supreme Court or the fact that the President can’t pass any laws on his own. Whitey is gonna PAY when Obama is in the White (racist) House.
“He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian Nation!”
Oh, so then the Reverend Jeremiah Wright scandal was completely made up! How could Obama have anything to do with Reverend Wright if he isn’t a Christian in the first place! It still amazes me that a constituency that can recite the Second Amendment so passionately and eloquently is completely ignorant of the First Amendment. You remember that one, right? “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”? You can find it just before you get to the part about “Freedom of Speech” which is another clause that the Republican Party likes to ignore.
“When you’ve got a nigger running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer”
Maybe if Obama broke into a chorus of “Mammy”, he could move into the starting lineup, eh? What’s the matter? Is Obama not “uppity” enough for you, Mr John Deere hat?
Fuck. We’re 30 seconds into a 2 minute video. It gets worse.
“He seems like a…wolf in sheep’s clothing. Now Palin… She’s filled with the holy spirit.”
She’s filled with something alright. Seriously, if Christians are this stupid, how did that religion survive for 2000 years? I know this is a fundamentalist minority in Christianity, but let’s compare a list of atrocities between Christianity and Islam some time. It’s easy to blame “Islam” for the world’s ills, but don’t forget that our side has a few extremists too.
“He’s related to a known terrorist”
Who? Did Bill Ayers adopt him or something?
“He is friends with a terrorist of this country”
This would be an inconvenient time to bring up the connections between the Bush family and the Bin Ladens, eh? The Bill Ayers story has been beaten into the ground already. The fact that this “connection” is gaining traction with members of the Republican base says more about the intelligence of the average republican voter than it does about Senator Obama’s character.
“Just the whole… Muslim thing and everything”
Sorry lady, you can put it in vague language all you like, but you’re still a bigot. A bigot that is too stupid to understand that Obama is not a Muslim. You’re part of the problem.
“Obama and his wife… I’m concerned that they could be anti-white”
Project much?
“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash.”
Not all white people, lady. Just you. In this case, he happens to be right.
The commentator in this news video introduces the video, then does not speak again until 1:20 of the 2:08 video. The pictures tell the story. The commentator introduces a pro-Obama protester, who happens to be white and is called “Baby Killer”, “Nigger”, and “Muslim” by the Republicans in attendance. He plainly states that he is afraid that one of these whack-jobs is going to try to kill Obama, and his fears aren’t that unreasonable.
“The divisive nature of this campaign has brought out into the open what is usually discussed behind closed doors in America. It’s a reminder that hate and fear are still powerful forces in American deciding(sic).”
The one good thing about all of this is that it is bringing racists and racism out into the open again. Let the world know where you stand. Are you a racist, bigoted moron? Or not? Why is the Republican party such a stronghold of white racism? Why do racist minorities flock to the Democratic party? Let’s not pretend that only white people are idiots like this. What is it that is keeping racism alive, and how do we kill it?
