"Barack the Magic Negro"

Why am I not surprised by this (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/26/rnc.obama.satire/index.html)? :doh:

LOL...I don't know about his backwards neck of the woods but this guy's national career is over. I guess the novelty of the ass pounding they took on Nov the 4th is over and they are ready for more.

Totally unacceptable.

Stay classy, San Diego.

I don't think people realize how deeply racism/bigotry is still entrenched in the conservative movement. Even today as stalwarts such as Paul Weyrich admit SC cases like Green vs Connelly (decided private schools that banned all non-whites were ineligible for tax-exempt status) unified conservatives far more than oft cited Roe v Wade people still tend to ignore reality. Nowhere is this more clear than in western conservatives - very hard to find a conservative in this part of the country who does not hold very strong prejudice against minorities.

Here's a shovel white stuffed shirt conservatives... you just keep digging. As a republican I'm not shocked, and the amount of emails with racial undertones and scare tactics I received from republican people i know really appalled me during this campaign.

I am a minority and happen to be conservative. Oh yeah I also happen to be a public educator and a female. It is sad that there are conservatives who are close minded, but I have also also met and witnessed liberals who are just as close minded and at times extremely hateful.

if a black person makes jokes about a white person it's all just in good fun and people, for the most part, just ignore it but god forebid a white person make a joke about a black person, that white person is now considered a racist. i'm not saying i agree with what this guy did but come on who really cares. people make jokes all the time.

Joke ay? Weak! I remember not too long ago there was talk of an appalling Michelle Obama "whittey" video where she's ranting in some anti-white diatribe. Leave the jokes to comedian especially if you look like this guy and suffer from intelligence deficiency, m'kay. If I am a Republican I would be celebrating that this moron isn't going to head my party out of the wildernesss.

Viva la darwinisme politique mon ami.

I'm def a liberal hater... I hate trickle-down economics, health care run by corporate accountants and lawyers in Armani suits, and the military-industrial complex ;)

Ultimately I think we're all somewhat a product of our upbringing and experiences. Had I not been raised in the 80's and early 90's by a family who constantly made us feel scared about the anti-Christs Gorbachev, Clinton and Kofi I would probably take modern conservatism more seriously... well at least up until W. He is the gamechanger of 21st century America. LBJ knew he lost the south for at least a generation w/ the Civil Rights Acts: W lost a whole generation more or less just from his presidency.
