I'm surrounded by idiots like these so it does not surprise me in the least. These people are masking their racism. The McCain/Palin campaign gives them the excuse they need, i.e., Obama pals around with domestic terrorists, his middle name is "Hussein". These idiots will accept any half-truth or out-right lie told them to justify their hatred of blacks. I watched a McCain rally yesterday where an man in the crowd expressed his anger at the possibility Obama might win this election. So he says (paraphrasing), "We can't believe THAT . . . " The man paused and you just knew he was going to say: "We can't believe THAT NIGGER may win this election." These white racists hate blacks. They hide their racism, but it is there just beneath the surface. For all out steps forward there remain those who seem never to get past racial, ethnic, and religious differences. And it is times like this that breed fear. I talked with a older white woman in Opelika the other day who said she is a Democrat, but votes "for the man." I thought she was going to tell me she was going to vote for Obama. Instead she said Obama scares her. I retorted: "Sarah Palin scares me!" Republicans once claimed Obama was to inexperienced to be President. Since Palin was named by McCain we never hear that one anymore. I once had respect for John McCain. Not anymore. He promised to run a positive, issues related campaign. Now that he's on the ropes he'll say and do anything to hold on to his ambition to become President. McCain and Republicans must be surprised that Obama hasn't sat back and taken their bull shit like John Kerry did. America will not elect a pussy. They want a President to fight. Obama is fighting the smears of the McCain-Palin campaign. I am proud to call myself a loyal supporter of the best candidate for President. Barack Obama 08! I live in Alabama.

There are too many totally insular idiots born of incestuous relationships who can't think for themselves. How is it possible to link someone to terrorism by virtue of having an ethnic name?

Granted, they've all been Democrats, but some of the people in the vid sound too stupid to find their polling place or that they'd get the day wrong or something like that. The bad news is that there are people just like this in every state in America, and some states are dominated by them. Hopefully sane, rational people outnumber them. We'll see.

But my point is did you realize that all McCain say is I this, I that, me, me, but in the other hand Obama is like we we as one. Ohh and McCain sound like a broken tape keep saying "what Obama don't understand" and he didn't even know Spain's president? Shhss.
