We don't need no stinking truth!
Barack Obama consistently gets an overwhelming majority of the black vote. This is the truth, but if we say it, we're "racist".
Some people are not going to vote for Obama because he's black. This is the truth, but if we say it, we're "racist".
Some of the comments made by Jeremiah Wright are despicable, as is the fact that he made them from the pulpit of a church. This is the truth, but if we say it, we're "racist".
We have every right to question Obama's ties to this man, but if we do so, we're "racist".
Obama recently sacked an advisor who, in his spare time, held meetings with Hamas, which might explain why Ahmed Yousef, the leader of Hamas, endorsed Obama. But, when John McCain truthfully pointed this out, Obama said: "This is offensive, and I think it's disappointing. Because John McCain always says 'I am not going to run that kind of politics,' and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his. I've said it's a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don't need name calling in this debate."
McCain told the truth. He didn't smear Obama, and it was Obama who resorted to name calling. How "racist" of me to point this out.
The list goes one. If we vote against Hillary because she's a woman, we're "sexist". If we vote against McCain because he's old, we're "ageist".
But, if we vote for them, we're "racist".
