if barack obama doesn't believe in politics as usual, why is he not denouncing moveon for their attack ads? why? because he is just the puppet, and you don't bite the hand that feeds you. he just ducks behind his little image he has created for himself because he's a freaking coward.

The message in Obama's words was not meaningless. It was intended to scare and intended to label anyone not for him as a racist. It was very much a victim mentality act and it was playing the race card. Playing the race card IS racism. Obama practices racism.

Right.

If that's all it takes to scare you, its a wonder you can ever leave your house. Then again, the number of posts you have screaming "Race Card! Race Card! Race Card!" I'm not sure you actually do.

Hmmmm....

I thought the low road was when Obama played the race card this week? You know, Obama has no thoughts, no policy, so all he can fall back on is the color of his skin....play the victim....poor Obama.....

And......Obama turned on his statement. Obama was going to be about racial healing.......and then what did he do this week? Obama played the race card.
Pathetic.

The message in Obama's words was not meaningless. It was intended to scare and intended to label anyone not for him as a racist. It was very much a victim mentality act and it was playing the race card. Playing the race card IS racism. Obama practices racism.
Just this morning you were on here asking if anyone knew if Michelle Obama's middle name was "Shaniqua," and the only possible reason you did that was to point out that "Shaniqua" is a black sounding name, as if to remind people that Obama is black. (And, as it took 5 seconds to find out, her middle name is Lavaughan.) And then, when Obama points out that people, not necessarily McCain, but people JUST LIKE YOU are playing to peoples' racist fears and beliefs, YOU accuse HIM of playing the race card.

Thank God most American people are smarter than you and can see right through your crap.

Isn't about me, so don't make a personal attack.
It is about Obama and his lies and deceit.

?! um ... because "it's a free country?"

How on earth is he the puppet of moveon.org?! They're the ones who were mad at him for moving to the center. They're not responsible for his massive fundage, they're a drop in the bucket.

Where do you get the impression the Barack Obama we've been looking at for the last two years is actually a mask? That he goes home and changes into - what?

Wow, you are stretching things when a name becomes something racist. I wanted to know her middle name and that name popped up frequently on Google. No reason to even say he is black....turn on the TV and it is quite obvious. Same with McCain.....turn on the TV, and you see he is white. Hillary turn on the TV and see she is a woman.

I could say the "sky is blue" and Obama or his camapign would cry racism. It is a pathetic ploy.

Thank goodness most Americans see through Obama and his victim mentality.
It won't work for him.
