Everytime you call Obama "Osama" a Democrat dies.

[last1standing]

And the same thing when you call him an "afro-american" or "B. Hussain Obama". For each and every occurrence of these racist comments against a good man, another possible Democratic voter is turned away from the process and may never come back. You also turn good people away from this forum.

As a Democrat who is planning to cast his vote for Edwards this month (and hopefully in November) I ask that everyone understand that none of our candidates would approve to this kind of disgusting tactic in order to gain votes. They have all fought their entire lives against this very thing and would not want the vote of someone who engages in it.

And I guess that's all I have to say on the matter.

3. Those are Freeper trolls having 'fun'

because they're suffering from arrested development. But they're not real.

4. I don't think I've ever seen "Hillary is a lesbian" posts

and very few Vince Foster posts, although some. I think they'd be deleted.

But this Hussein stuff and Osama stuff and now the racist attacks on his church, no problem with it I guess.

5. I've started Alerting on the obvious....

...racist flame-bait posts. I recommend everybody do the same.

I tried starting a positive discussion about what I like about Obama, but... to no avail. It got buried in the heap of trash we're seeing in here right now.

Primary season: ugly.

7. Why do you think they're doing it?

It isn't to win votes over to another Democratic candidate, I can tell you that.

8. One quick fix on the name confusion...

Insist on spelling bin Laden's name the officially correct way, the way our own FBI spells it: Usama bin Laden.

It doesn't solve all the name-game problems, but it would sure help.

9. Expect a genocide then.

The other side won't be so politically correct come general election time no matter what some may "hope."

10. I've actually given some thought to this and decided that since they are each current or former

Senators, I will be calling each Senator ______________. If I don't like something one or the other has done, I'm not going to use childish names to get my point across. If that's the best I have...........

11. Serves them right for bashing Hillary.
