Did you hear that voter?

[JonLP24]

He said I'm scared for my children because my children will be scared if Obama gets elected.

Now why would your child be scared? I guess because you're instilling fear of liberals at a young age. Atleast even McCain said Obama is an alright guy and you have no reason to be scared. Then he went on to say how he would make a better President.

1. What are you listening to, for those of us not in the room with you.

2. CNN didn't show a clip

So I relied on the commentary from the reporter that said pretty much the same thing I said.

3. It's not "fear of liberals"

It's racism.

6. That might be unfair

If one of us including myself say we're scared of McCain getting elected doesn't mean we're scared of a white man in power. I believe republicans have irrational fears of any democrat getting elected, but you could very well be right but I have no way of knowing something that you seem to be sure of.

7. I can give you a hundred reasons why I am scared of a mcpain presidency, none of them

have to do with his race. I'll bet if you ask many people why they are scared of Obama, their reasons won't go beyond he's black and/or Muslim and/or terrorist--all bigoted reasons.

9. That's true

CNN just showed another clip of a woman saying "I'm scared of Obama getting elected, and I did alot of reading on this. He is a muslim"

8. When people voice nonspecific fears in this election,

as in "I just don't trust him," or "There's something about him I just don't like," or "I don't know enough about him" (after 20 months of campaigning?), it's code for "racism."

Breaking News: It's Racism
By Kai Wright | TheRoot.com

Hate-fueled campaigning cannot be covered as mere political hardball.

12. McCain is probaly losing votes for half assed standing up for Obama

Did you hear the boos when McCain said "he is a decent man"

[malaise]

14. Yes

Can't wait for KO and Rachel's take on this.

[JonLP24]

11. very true

You're right and I can give valid reasons of being scared of a McCain presidency

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. Yes, you can

And they're not because you're a racist, I'll wager.
