Wow I would have thought that we had come further in 2008 than to throw
digs at someone because of their ethnicity.
How horrible it must be to be that small minded that a person with more
melanin in their skin is still not equal with the people who have a lack
thereof.

It is very sad that we as humans and Americans (where we live in the
land of the free) cannot find our way to get past the looks of another
to form an attack strategy.

Many great people died to try and get this country to be color blind, I
guess they died for nothing if this is the way we talk about people
rather than discuss their merits. Why is it that people have to find
fault in appearance rather than non accomplishments.

Are we really that shallow as Americans.
How about finding a way to have a relevant discussion point rather than
attack points. That is what is wrong with politics today too much attack
not enough stating of position.
Did you all not notice that Palins speech was more of an attack venue
than it was letting us get to know a woman who was little known until 3
weeks ago?
It is sad that we have to reduce ourselves and that she reduced herself
to kindergarten tactics. This was a great chance for her to truly
introduce herself on to the national stage, we already know how the
Repubs feel about the Dems what we needed to know was about this woman
from Alaska. I for one was disappointed, as I waited for her speech to
get to know her and all I got was putting others down.

Oh and now to be even more disappointed by my fellow Americans that can
not seem to grow up.
No wonder our dollar is falling, no wonder we are being taken to the
bank by the foreign oil caucus.. We have become childish Americans that
throw a fit when we don't get our way. We tend to kick scream threaten
and make fun of rather than take action to make this a better America
and world.

You misunderstand. Any dislike I might hold for Oprah is because of her
dopey attitudes and views. Also the fact she is full of herself. On
the other hand Aunt Jimiah is a kind advertising symbol. I don't see
that with any racial connotation at all.

Obama is trading on his race to achieve a goal.....power. I happened to
be on the African continent when Mugabe came to power. Like Obama he
was "the one". The impact on blacks and whites in the at one time
garden spot of Africa is mind boggling.Being a bit older and wiser I am
less likely to accept the offering that BO is what he portends to be.
Sadly, 90 plus percent of blacks are voting for him. They are looking
for a savior and he will disappoint. As any black person on the streets
of any city in Zimbabwe. He, like Mugabe, is driven by a quest for power.

Some people are just ugly. Look at Allen Colmes, Oprah, Michelle Obama,
any woman in NOW, Gov. Janet Napolitano. Some of those people are so
ugly they ask for it when the get in front of a camera.

She hit back, liberals resent it. Liberals feel threatened by a strong
woman with moral values, believes in God, won't kill a baby, and isn't
trying to pander to queers and minorities.

You're disappointed because you feel threatened and your new age
"progressive" lack of morals is in jeopardy.

How come racism is OK when directed towards the white community by the
black community and when directed by the black community AT the black
community?

Don't hand me this crap about it being OK for a black to call another
black by the foulest of racial slurs. It doesn't amke using the term
right at all!

And it's OK for a black to be prejudiced against a korean or a latino
or a white.... but not the other way around. It's OK to talk about
Black pride and black heritage and latino heritage but it's racist to
talk about white pride and Anglo heritage.

Please explain this to me.

And by the way, I agree with the gisdt of what has been said about
Oprah.... she is not really a bigot though..... she's just in it for
the money. She *IS* a Hypocrite though.

WOW you are someone I would want to know... NOT .. but then you are
stuck in the days of, segregation. The more I read your responses the
more I fear for my children in this country. It seems we haven't really
gotten anywhere we only pretended to.

Again WOW the fact that you think all of these people are ugly and that
could be a reason to ignore and belittle them is ridiculous.
Do you have an education or do you just pretend to? I Have a hard time
believing that educated, well versed people can possibly be this stupid.
It is absurd that people with an education can put other people down in
the manner you have like a middle schooler.

Most people of color actually behave better and with more respect for
their fellow human beings than many of the whites I have met and come in
contact with.
It is disgusting how white people can just believe that they are
entitled because they don't have a darker skin tone.
haven't you ever heard we are all pink in the middle?
IN fact we all bleed red.
And given the right circumstances Colored people will accell further
than Whites as they have no expectation that they are entitled to
anything, the are already predisposed to the idea that they have to work
for everything they get.

Honey she doestn have moral values, she has a podium she stands on to
save face with the world but behind closed doors she is a Hypocrit.
And liberals are not afraid of a strong woman who believes in God and
has moral values. Lets not forget that Hillery is from the south. where
we all like to call it the Bible belt, she attends church and has a
relationship with God.
Many of the other women on the Dem Ticket are also of the same caliber,
they just do not put their religion in front like a televangelist so
that they can gain from it.
Just like Jesus said you should not prosper from your religion but it
should be a light to show others how to live. YOu are to show others but
not preach to others when you yourself do not have the fortitude to live
your own words.
Glass houses and all, you should not throw stones.
Check yourself in the mirror to make sure that you can hold up under
scrutiny before judging others.

Hey how do you know that I am of New age Progressive lack of morals
background?
First of all there is nothing new age about me, I am not as progressive
as you think and I have a deep sence of morals probably higher than you
my friend.
But the problem is that I am a VERY strong woman that believes in
humanity as well as Virtuous values. I believe that our children are the
most important people in our lives as they are the future of our world
and we have to be able to provide wonderful children into the next
generation.
I also believe that I could never and would never have an abortion as
for me it is wrong but I am not God and I have no right to tell anyone
else they can not have one nor do I have the right to judge.

I also believe that Women should be in the upper part of our government
but they need to have their stuff in line at home before they take on
something that can potentially harm or take away from their family.

I also believe in civil liberty's for all humans, no matter who or what
they are. every one is created equal under the eyes of God so why do I
get the right to say they aren't?

I also believe that life is too short to be mean, and there is so much
to be done every day why would I go out of my way to attack demean and
belittle someone else when I can just walk the other way if I don't like
what they are doing, or have a civil conversation with them and get to
know them.

NEVER!!! as I am not voting for someone who thinks he is a hero for
being shot down 20 hours into his first mission in a war that was
useless, (wouldn't that be a survivor not a hero?) O with his definition
I am a hero because I went through a 3 year battle with Breast cancer
and the tortuous treatments that go with it.

Oh and I am never voting for a woman that preaches one thing for the
country but has things completely different for her own home.

Abstinence only training in our schools?
PHTTT!!! Maybe she should have taught that at home, no better yet maybe
she should have been home when it mattered for her daughter.
Oh and saying she is Christian but behaving very different from that.
Abusing her power with her Brother In Laws boss, goes for the bridge to
nowhere but then votes against it when it is convenient for her.
Oh and the fact that she was preg when she married her own husband with
her first child.
I could go on and on but I wont, I bet that Sara Palin is a very
wonderful woman to know but I dont think she is wonderful for our
country in this time when we as Americans are at such a huge crossroads.
But then it is people like you who will vote for her because of your
prejudices.
AND THAT IS SAD!

Liberals support a woman's right to control her own body. They
support anyone who wants to keep their baby. However, they also
support a woman's right to prevent becoming pregnant in the first
place and they support a woman's choice to carry an unwanted pregnancy
to term or not. Liberals support a woman's right to choose,
Conservatives do not.

Palin also supports teaching "Intelligent Design" in public schools.
Intelligent Design is the pseudo science that has man walking with the
dinosaurs so their brand of evolutionary history will not conflict
with stories of the bible. Can't have children asking too many
embarrassing questions!

I didn't know that she supported ID. I know then that I must try to keep
anyone that unintelligent or hypocritical away from the presidency.

Palin's views on creationism are well established. I agree that those
who harbor such fantasies in this day and age should be kept away from
control over our nation's nuclear arsenal.
