Quick--go to my ActBlue page for Kay Barnes and send her $5 or $10--we need her to defeat that unctuous, lying Republican Sam Graves.
Thanks

I'm fifty years old. I really hope I live long enough to see the third African-American president elected. I figure by then the candidate's race will no longer be worthy of comment.

Glossy hi res color 4 page Obama is a scary negro terrorist muslim who we must not trust. Came courtesy of the Missouri Republican State Committee. On the cover next to Obama's picture is "I don't regret setting bombs, I feel we didn't do enough." Attributed to Ayers in small prnt.
Next panel states, "This is the story of William Ayers... Terrorist. Radical. Friend of Obama." Ends with "Barrack Obama. Not who you think he is."
My neighbors thought it was some real good stuff. They also watched that Isreali funded muslim are evil DVD, and are convinced Obama wants to turn us into a muslim nation because muslims never switch faith. I try to keep my mouth shut as they all gang up on me when it opens; but I had to say how can smart peoople be so damn stupid. All your party has is insane race baiting jibberish. Of course they are all racist so the jokes on me for complaigning about nothing.
I am going on too long but I am really steamed. They also asked why I didn't go to the rally at the Arch to have Obama baptise me in the Mississippi.
I just don't trust the polls, there are so many god loving hateful white people in upper middle class white west suburbs of STL. The other day a neighbor lady pointed over her shoulder to a neighbor right behind me and whispered, "do ya know he's a jewy jew jew kind of jew?." Ugh.

Obama will win Missouri, even with all the stupid rednecks there.
After the election, Arkansas will annex the bootheel of Missouri and it will raise the IQ of both states by 10 points.

I know that some Americans will still make it about race, but really, I think this campaign shows how Joseph McCarthy like the Republicans has becomes in it's attacks, nut it is still a campaign of hate. The Republicans are using hate because the truth about what they want, their policies is too damning by itself. The word "socialist" is the same as "communist". It's how Joe McCarthy tried to scare Americans that communism was taking over the US.
The Republican message is that terrorist are taking over American, another witch hunt, so if you've ever read about the McCarthy era than you know what it is that John McCain and Palin are trying to do here.

Holy crap, BooMan needs to chill out. All fainting over how "traumatized" those poor blacks must be over all this racism. Even while acknowledging that they are perfectly aware of the racism around them. What a crock.
It isn't the blacks who are traumatized, they know how to deal with it. It is white liberals like BooMan who are traumatized, because they apparently *don't* know how to deal with it. Oh sure, they understand that there is still racism, but they've never *really* noticed it or been exposed to it before.
Well, *this* white liberal had her eyes opened years ago. There is racism all around us, and you don't have to scratch the surface all that hard to find it. Whining and fainting over how shiveringly terrible it is doesn't help.
What *does* help is the tactic that so many black people have clued me in on: just shrugging your shoulders and getting back to work. You don't ignore it, but you also don't let it stop you in your tracks and get in the way of your goals. Otherwise, you will never accomplish anything.
So BooMan, and other white liberals in hock to your overwhelming sense of guilt, get over it. Stop obsessing over other people's filthy attitudes and just get to work. That's the only way you'll ever accomplish anything.
