Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of Self-Identified Republicans

I agree Sleepy. He who frames the questions wins the debate.

My answers would be no, *, yes, no, no.

The * on #2 is because that is a two part question. One can be a racist without hating the race in question.

Okay, I'll bite.
sleepyjeff: Are you not sure Obama is a racist, a hater of Whites, or both?
scaeagles: Do you think Obama is a racist? Do you think he hates White people?
Both: If yes to any of those, on what do you base your opinion?

I am not sure bc for the longest time he publicly stated that his mentor was a man that I know is a racist who hates Whites.....but on the other hand Obama has strongly stated he parts with this man when it comes to racial views...so, I really don't know.

Let me turn it around on you and ask how you know he's not a racist? There's really no way you can know unless you are a close friend or family member to the President(and even then, maybe not).

-Not Sure- is really the only answer when you think about it.
