The global economy is in complete collapse and we are talking about Obama's race
"If we talk about the economy, we lose." The McCain camp.

I realize the hate rallies, ignorance, and smear campaign is disgraceful, treasonous, and disgusting but we cannot lose sight on much larger issues impacting every single American out there. The economy is in complete shambles and there are no signs that things will be getting better.

We need Obama, surrogates, and us the grassroots to continue to hammer away at McCain and Palin on this issue. We cannot focus all our attention on "their" new issue of "Who is Obama? ... well I'll tell ya he is a mooslim black guy." We have nothing to gain by trying to talk sense to these deranged fanatics and we know better than to expect the media or the Republican party to do a damn thing about it. I think it is better to link McCain's desperate, erratic, and craven campaign to his approach to the economy and other important issues facing us.

Let's keep the pressure on McCain! Let's fight using OUR strengths.

1. EXACTLY!!! Demand the Republicans address the economy rather than hate-speech.
Send out emailing reminding people that they are trying to avoid their own responsibility for driving this economy into the ditch.

5.  "If we talk about the economy, we lose."
This is what the republicans fear. Racist ignorant rethuglicans are not new, they have not been spawned by Sarah Palin. There have been fanatical and dangerous rethuglican sheep spewing hate and anger for years at democrats, blacks and heaven forbid black democrats.

We are gaining no new ground here rehashing their bigotry. We need to BURY McCain and his ignorant hate filled party.

6. That's nice, and 100% irrelevant. Look up what "converse" means to understand why....
"Contrapositive" would also be helpful in this instance.

3. What's ironic is that the wingnuts were comparing Obama to Hitler
and his rallies to the Nazi rallies and then go ahead and hold their very own fucking Nazi rallies.

Do they not realize just how much they parody themselves with their hypocrisy?

4. an election means many topics are relevant, and racism requires challenging
Besides, the worm has turned. Racism is not considered acceptable by most Americans, and the more the GOP appeals to it, the more they set themselves apart from everyone else.
