#1 12% of a certain segment of the population makes up 44% of the Prison population. The Media have already elected Obama but they are ignoring all kinds of obvious facts to do so.

#2 White racism or black racism? From what I've seen of Obama, the fellows he runs with are heavily steeped on the black side of the racism coin.

#3 Should we believe Obama Foot Soldiers?

#4 The Dems claim to be the party of tolerance, diversity, equality, and all that . . . but so many of their primary voters are RACISTS???

Somethin's not right with this picture.

#5 "The first person I encountered was like, 'I'll never vote for a black person,' "

I wonder if what was really said was something along the lines of "I'll never vote for a person simply because he's black".

A lot of democrats would see that as a racist remark.

#6 Wright has poisoned the 'moral higher ground' the lefties alway whine about. The clear and unrecoverable demonstration of black racism that the masses have witnessed for decades is 'out of the bag', and all the NYT's horses and all the WAPO's men can't put the guilt game back in front again. The community is now going to have their 'crying wolf' moments. They're also going to find out that most Americans, other than the usual suspects, don't care anymore.

#7 Obama is supposedly half white but from the way he talks he sounds ashamed of it. But that is the only way to get ivy league tenure these days.

#8 CrazyFool - I bet you hit it on the head.

I'd have simply told those students that I'd never vote for a such a lightweight, inexperienced snob and fool. And worse he is a socialist, especially one that comes from a racist background, and is such a rabid abortionist that he considers a pregnancy and baby to be a "punishment".

Someone with that little regard for individual rights, life in general, and such a high place for racists and bigots in his personal life is unqualified to be president.

#9 If they want to see raw racism, they should try being white in Gary or East Chicago.

#10 A few of these are probably real, the vast majority are probably made up to make Obama look like the victim. The libs think victim status makes you a shoe-in. They don't realize that the buzzwords of victimhood just don't resonate with 80% of the country.

#11 Make that 80% of voters.

#12 Actually, articles like this are intended to blunt the fact that Obama is not doing nearly as well with whites as he did before people knew anything about him. They would like to paint opposition to him as caused by race instead of a thoughtful (all right, sometimes visceral) rejection of his positions and elitist predilections.

#13 bigjim-ky you are probably right about the victim thing, but does anyone really want a Presidential victim? Who gives a sympathy vote for the Presidency?

Don't answer that. We all know who, and it's pathetic.

#14 This is all part of an effort to guilt "White America" back into voting for Obama. This is one of the most cynical ploys yet, and I'm sure they're not done. Once again though, it's a good wiindow into how Camp Obama views the country.

#15 The same foot soldiers who hang che flags up in their office? Constituants who had a whiff of garlicshot fired their way? People who don't like to be disturbed at home or while shopping by obnoxious political activists? Or overblown/BS stories by people who thrive on catching acts like this on camera or tape but don't have any proof other than "trust me when I tell you this"?

#16 ....people who can't fathom that the ~~leftest, communist, wealth and asset transfer democrat~~ senator from ~~Chicago~~ Illinois could become the first African American president.

Kindly add me to the above list.

#17 FYI, been to Kokomo. Blu Collar town. Probably not good territory for a smartassed college sophomore bugwit to be pestering people.

#18 "I'll never vote for a person ~~simply~~ because he's ~~black~~ white".

Typical Obama supporter.
