Just to set the record straight... Mr. Obama is actually of Arab descent. In Kenya you are given your name based on where your family originated from. If your name is African, you are African. If your name is an Arab name, you are an Arab. So... that being said... Barrack Hussein Obama is of Arab descent.
This does not mean his is a Muslim... but he is an Arab. And actually, he is Malotto (black and white), but he chooses to only associate himself with his black heritage. He does not even acknowledge his Arab descent... hmmm... rather interesting if you ask me.
You don't have a clue...talk about something you know about, like your hillbilly roots!

Dman.... do you have something against hillbillies? Are you a hillbilly bigot?(kiddin' with you)

No one has an issue with you while you sound kinda angry. Maybe you are and maybe you aren't & you're just using your free speech. Go for it.

People don't treat each other right. That's a problem. Going back to the original topic of the older lady thinking Obama an Arab... so what. She's mistaken. McCain said she was mistaken & took the microphone from her. No big deal. Even if he's from Arab decent... so..... what.

That ignorant wench had no idea what she was talking about. McCain had to take the mic from her and tell her to shut the puck up. lol I bet that old hag felt stupid. Did you see how angry the LYNCH mob got when McCain defended Obama? I wish I could have seen all the faces of those stupid people in the crowd when McCain said that they were wrong about what they have been saying and thinking about Obama. Classic OWNAGE!
What is so ironic, is he and Palin especially have been whipping the base up into this frenzy. Then they are obliged to unwind it under the full gaze of the media. McCain / Palin. The ticket to nowhere.....

Not angry...just giving it back "raw" to the racists out there! That lady was ignorant...she should have taken the time to at least educate herself before speaking. Like many in that crowd, I think she harbors a racist ideology. But then again, she and others in that crowd revealed how uneducated and ignorant they are.

Dman...you are right. There are racists. You could call them hard hearted. You could call them mean spirited. There's always going to be people like that who say stupid stuff. Doesn't matter what color people are, people say stupid stupid things.... I agree. What comes out of people's mouths floors me because people do not THINK. But it reflects on them. Racism is real; many people are 'made fun of' or disrespected and it's meanness. I see why you call people out on racism. People are prejudice against fat people, too skinny, old people,bald guys, over-educated people, those who are ill, handicapped, women, chinese.... goes on and on. Prejudice is real. I get why you speak up --- to remind people to play fair and be respectful. Some will. Some will be pigs. That's life in a free nation.

I think that America is a despicable country with a bunch of ignorant and backwards people. The person who thinks that by calling Obama an Arab is an insult is reflective of the majority of americans.
Americans and America is controlled by a tiny number of wicked people who are able to manipulate and control the large masses who are a bunch of ignorant monkeys.
Black people would never say that dumb shit.

You don't seemed to be in touch with the reality of America, seeing that your isp is the UK. Hey, I heard there was a lot of racism in the UK also.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:CHECK THE LINK BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hoover

In the presidential election of 1928 Hoover easily won the Republican nomination. The nation was prosperous and optimistic, leading to a landslide for Hoover over the Democrat Al Smith.

DO THE REPUBLICANS KNOW THAT THE GREAT DEPRESSION PRESIDENT WAS HERBERT HOOVER, A REPUBLICAN?

NOW THAT WE ARE IN THE BRINK OF ANOTHER DEPRESSION ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IS IN THE HELM. GEORGE ASSHOLE BUSH.

FOR ALL THE ARGUMENTS AGINST ABORTION, STEM CELL, ACORN, DEMOCRATS LIBERAL STANDINGS, NOT ONE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT HAS BROUGHT THIS COUNTRY TO THE DISASTERS SPAWNED BY THE REPUBLICANS.
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THEY WONT LEAD THIS COUNTRY TO KILL THE MIDDLE CLASS AND CAUSE ECONOMIC MELTDOWN OF GLOBAL PROPORTIONS.IN THE GREATER PICTURE, DEMOCRATS LIBERAL LEANINGS ARE LESS LIKELY TO CAUSE GLOBAL ARMAGEDDON COMPARED TO REPUBLICANS "CONSERVATIVE" BELIEFS.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR BUSH IN THE PASS SHOULDNT BE SHOT? ANY SURVIVORS, SHOT AGAIN.ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR HIM IN THE PASS SHOULD'T BE ALLOWED TO VOTE OR TO CAMAPIGNED FOR ANYONE BECAUSE THEIR JUDGEMENT YEILDS TO DISASTROUS RESULTS

IMAGINE THAT, REPUBLICAN LEADERS PASS AND PRESENT,WHO PROFESS TO BE PRO LIFE, CONSERVATIVE, GOD FEARING.THEY ARE THE ONES KILLING THE DREAMS ASPIRATIONS, BRIGHT FUTURES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Why don't you attack the real racists on this thread... by attacking me, that clearly tells me something about you and your motives! Go back and read all the threads! Anyway, who cares, I don't!

Speaking of plants in the audience again... which started way back in this thread...I think Palin pulled it today. Just as she was talking about abortion...low and behold, back behind her as if on cue (and I am betting a good pinch) a baby started crying loud and clear. She of course said "Let that baby cry" and something to the effect of Republicans loving babies and implying Non Republicans did not as she went on to talk about her baby Trig (you know, the little one she can't possibly be spending any time with right now). I despise this contrived BS.

I'm a Hoover Republican, am I a McCain Republican not an Obama loser Democrat. Hoover is not to blame or be compared today . Most of his thoughts for restoration were used by FDR. We are Americans, we know these truths to be self-evident. I know that both parties from that day are to blame. Democrat and Republican

Who could be the Hatemongering Advisor that has recommended that the GOP inject this nasty bigotry into the campaign.

I can only think of one froth-mouthed exteme right wing conservative who airs extreme views on prime time television. He actually hyperventilates during his broadcast. You cannot get any more terroristic that this man-o-war. The inciter of Terror. Can you guess his name?

Dman, i see where you are coming from, but in some of your posts, you sound as racist as that poor ignorant woman who fears an arab obama.
as a white boy from DC, i've seen plenty of racism from both sides, and think much of it has to do with fear.
i'm scared of that woman myself, but that doesn't stop me from giving the benefit of the doubt to the rest of the white folks out there.
the racism of this country inhibits us in so many ways.

Sorry if you feel that I'm racist, I'm not. However, I believe in calling these racists out and giving it to them "raw", if you get what I mean! People don't want to admit it, but racist ideology has everything to do with the untrue attacks on Obama.

It is unfortunate that there are so many ignorant people that can't see beyond the color of the skin. The sad things is that among a lot of people, the ignorance is VOLUNTARY.... There is no desire to learn beyond what they were exposed to as a child. We have had many white presidents (with experience I might add), and look where it got us. Why not try something different. It has been proven over and over again that Blacks can be just as intelligent as Whites. Obama is a very intelligent man and well educated man. He has people working with him with years of experience. I pray that "Hope and Intelligence" with overcome "Fear and Ignorance" in this campaign.
