I thought it was some fried food item from the Golden Arches.

No, no. You're thinking of McCane. Deep fried sugar cane sticks. I think they have them at the McD's in Hale'iwa.

Except that there are other examples of him doing the same thing prior to that ad you mentioned coming out. It isn't a response, it's a strategy.

innerSpaceman · 07-31-2008, 07:22 AM

And a good one.

Yeah, he's gonna be the first black president. He should ignore that? The ultra progressive freedom equality angle? Not to mention tackle head-on the racism that's the other side of that coin, whether McCain brings it up or not?

scaeagles · 07-31-2008, 08:05 AM

And it may be an effective strategy. The problem is that he's saying that McCain is doing it, which is blatantly false. McCain is not doing it. He says McCain and Bush do not have real answers, so THEY are going to do this.

That is not factual. They have done no such thing. I get why he's doing it.

Is there racism? Indeed. Is McCain doing anything that has brought up Obama's race as an issue? Not even one.

Keep trying to tell the world that McCain is not a racist. Perhaps he hasn't gone on the record saying "Obama is a n!gger" but he did use the word "gook" in 2000. Seriously, in the year 2000. Yes, he was talking about his captors, but come on, the word gook doesn't disqualify him for the presidency the way the word "n!gger" would?

I'm going to read this book soon.

All I know is only one person in this campaign is making race an issue.

innerSpaceman · 07-31-2008, 09:26 AM

As well he should. I'm not condoning misprepresenting McCain. This misreprehensible!

But the first black candidate for president should make race an issue. It's regretable if he's lying about his opponent while doing it. Maybe that's his way of demonstrating he's just like every white candiate for president.

Getting back to the article Leo quoted, Obama has a point. The Republicans, Bush have been using scare tactics to achieve their goals. And it will continue until Election Day.

As do the dems. Drill for oil, create nevironmental devastation. Our policies in the middle east and regarding terrorism make us less safe. Blah, blah, blah. Both sides do it.
