gun regulations !? how the hell could that hurt america ?
oh boo-hoo you might not be able to get an assault rifle or a machinegun !?

Wait a minute, if I'm against abortions, same sex marriage and gun control I'm a racist? If I vote against a black man because I don't believe in what he stands for I'm a racist?

What are you talking about here Von Tonner and Type941? And exactly what does that second picture prove 941? Absolutely nothing except that the guy doesn't like Obama or his supporters. The first one, I'll give ya, the picture is pretty racially oriented, the message below it is nowhere near being racist.

Digital Trucker - what you should find most humorous is the fact that a South African is talking about un-American activities! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That's just fricking hallarious! :D :rotfl:

Not at all, just a few folks who don't go along with the idea that Obama's "fiscal policy" (whatever that is or will be) is guaranteed to make things better. Also disagreeing with the second pic of 941's being exemplary of racism.

Edit : The implication made on the part of both is that it is a given that Obama is the best choice and anyone who can't see that and doesn't vote for him is a racist. Also, not to defend racists, but who do you folks expect racists to support, the white guy or the black guy? Is it truly surprising that they support the white guy? Does that make anyone who supports the white guy racist?

SUBMAN1 10-12-08 04:07 PM

On the racists issue - for every white guy who is racists that won't vote for Obama, there is a black guy who is racists that will, and they probably outnumber the white guys 2 to 1 in todays world, so I don't buy that.

And if Tom is 30yo, that doesn't mean that all 30yo men are named Tom. Nobody said that white guys voting for McCain do it only because of skin color.
The first picture by Type941 is typical of free speech turned into freedom to be openly racist. In many countries that sort of thing would bring the author to jail or at least a hefty fine. Some would call that an "attack on free-speech", others would simply call that "assuming one's act".
I must say I'm pretty disgusted.

So, what is with the people that vote for Obama BECAUSE he is black? That, imo, makes them racist too, does it not?

The first pic (the pic and above) is indeed racist and disgusting. The message below is not.

The problem, as I see it, with the concept that anyone who knows that Obama's policies are better and doesn't vote for him being racist is that no one can know that Obama's policies will be better for them because no one can know what Obama's policies are until he's elected. Perhaps I read too much into Von Tonner's tone (now comes the hour - now comes the man, etc).

As for 941's pics, using the second pic as a so called "example" of racism when it indeed is no such thing would lead one to believe that he does indeed think that anyone who is against Obama is a racist. Again, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's the way I saw it.

I can't wait til the bloody election is over. Then we can get back to less divisive topics, like religion and the war on terror:rotfl:

Task Force 10-12-08 04:24 PM

In my opinion.

1 pic is raceist in my opinion.

2 pic in not raceist, It is just a guy showing that he dosent like Obama, and his followers.

"I am no racist and I support Obama although he has two kids of dark skin." :88)

McCain claims to defend Obama against republican hate-campaigners - but nevertheless his campaign-managers themselves keep on releasing vitriolic spots that throw more and more mud and become more and more personal. Two explanations only are possible, first: he lies and speaks with split tongue to the public, or second: he is not master in his own club-house - in which case you would ask how he could lead a whole nation.

The past two months have been a revelation for me, regarding McCain. Two years ago or so, I maybe would have found him acceptable and respectable. but his campaign style that he allows and helps to push forward has turned him into one of the most disgusting and unrespected figures of politics that I know of. And it seems from week to week he degenerates a bit more. A moral imposter he is, much like Palin. Seen that way, he maybe picked his soul-mate without realising it.

the second picture that some guys here declare as non-racist, reminds of the good old slogans in windows and doors of German shops and restaurants, some time ago: "No service for Jews". And after all, that guy is excluding 40-60% of the voting population, and probably at least as many people of the non-voting camp.

Yes, there are black American that will vote Obama because he is black. Howard Stern (I know, just a crazy disk jockey) went to a predominatly black neighborhood and interviews blacks. He asked if they agreed with a list of policies. They agreed with all of them. However, these policies were McCains. Then they were asked if they are voting Obama. They all said yes. So, are they really looking at the issues or just the man? Obviously just the man. Is it racist? Not really IMO, just stupidity. I believe this goes hand in hand when a white will not vote Obama because he is black. Just more stupidity.

I love this! Look at all these Europeans who have no clue what goes on in America, pretending they know what goes on in America! You guys are killing me! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

He was just working on the theory that if you keep moving you won't sink.
The BS was getting pretty deep by this time.:rotfl:

Two politicians the same sage can do that. :o

Serves McCain right. Isn't his camp telling openly that they are not about issues, but personalities? ;)
