with a video that spliced McCain talking about how great things are in Iraq with pictures of headless bodies in the streets of Baghdad, flag-draped coffins and disfigured soldiers?

I especially like the editing where they made it seem like he stuttered.  Yep the way they made him stammer-- " I...I...I...I..." -- that's valid criticism, all right!  They really got him there!

all muslims for the actions of a few in the Middle East.

I have no sympathy for your position. It is wrong headed in the extreme.

Though I agree that the oozing pus that is bubbling to the top from some who would like to use guilt by association is disgusting.

Is George W Bush, guilty of terrorism because his family has been long standing friends of the bin Laden family, kin of the most famous terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

Defending the white race from Barack Obama's offensive racial statements is noble work, Ender.  Yeah, I need that protection for my delicate sensibilities :-p

If Obama's "typical white person" quote offends you, you're easily offended.

that Obama had unwittingly stereotyped all whites as racists afraid of
the black man. No matter how you spin it, that kind of garbage would
destroy a candidacy of anyone who is white.

Well, sometimes it does, and I really think that's a shame. Look at all the minor HRC stuff that has been blown up into major racial firestorms-- do you think that's how things ought to be? I don't. Look at a guy like Biden, who sticks his foot in the mouth with the best of them, like when he called Obama clean and articulate or whatever it was. Sure, it sounded bad, but I'll take Biden who occasionally screws up but also occasionally says something worth hearing any day over someone who gives a canned, safe answer every single time.

The more he talks the worse he makes it for himself.

You speak for yourself here. Others disagree.

My complaint over the campaign is that Obama hasn't been saying much. Well now, he's opening up a little bit and playing it a little less safe.

<snip junk poll>

Well, you agree with the majority of a bunch of people who may or may not have seen his whole speech. Congratulations on that-- did you also pick the winner on American Idol?... I watched the whole speech and thought it was one of the best speeches I'd seen in awhile, but nobody polled me.

of predisposition to broadbrush people or stereotyping.

Cause your constant use of the word liberal...... liberals by (your definition) are (always wrong about everything) is certainly a stereotype that you use freely and often.

Hmmm. So if I took the behavior of one black person who just happened
to be lazy and then I referred to that person as a "typical black
person" would you conclude:

(a) I merely meant that the person in question's attitudes and behaviors were not uncommon in blacks, or

(b) I am a racist?

Not an apples to apples comparison. The way in which Obama described his grandmother's use of racist language was not the kind of indictment of a person's character the way that a charge of laziness would be. Here's what Obama said about his grandmother in his speech:

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I
can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who
helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman
who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman
who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the
street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic
stereotypes that made me cringe.

 

These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

So let's make your hypothetical into more an apples to apples comparison:

Hmmm. So if I took the behavior of one black person who just happened
to be lazy loves their children and sacrifices for them, but who harbors certain irrational prejudices regarding white people and uses stereotypes of whites, and then I referred to that person as a "typical black
person" would you conclude:

(a) I merely meant that the person in question's attitudes and behaviors were not uncommon in blacks, or

(b) I am a racist?

I would answer "A", and definitely not "B".

and disgustingly putrid. It defiles American values.

How does race baiting build schools. OH that's right, the rich don't want
