..."crucifiction", or "screwing" ? I don't think ethno-centric references allow the detachment needed for an impartial analysis of a candidate's platform or qualifications.

Why resort to terms which draw extreme anger and resentment?
 
Because they dare to question Obama and didn't give him a chance to say HOPE and CHANGE enough.
 
You mean like resorting to making up names for people, such as "Obama-wana's", to draw anger and resentment?

Personally, I thought the debate couldn't have gone better. Obama didn't get as many substantive questions as he would have liked, but I thought he handled himself fine under pressure. He walked out of the debate looking a little persecuted (which he was), but Hillary walked out looking like a harpy (which she is).
 
Because that is exactly what it is. We're getting down to the wire and suddenly it has occurred to many KKK types still alive and well in this country that we could actually find ourselves with a black president. That thought is just intolerable to many people. I really thought to use the word "Crucifixion" first, but too many people would have been turned off by any comparison of Obama to Christ. The fact that Christ was crucified because he came with a new message that was disturbing to the status quo could be used as an analogy, however. The same kind of mentality cannot see what Obama truly has to offer that no one else has. I remember the dirty politics and the shame that the Clintons brought to the White House. I question why any woman would stay with a man who so openly flaunted his indiscretions. There really has to be something wrong with her! And I don't want anything that resembles Bush for another four years.

Incidentally, lynching is historically what we have done to black people--thus, I find it more fitting. Sorry if it inflames you. Perhaps I also caused you to think a little, too.

Obama for America!
