Concerned white citizens for Obama

Clear there's not much political intelligence here. One out of three made some sense.

Sounds like the asinine voting logic that got Bush elected twice

Go Hillary!

Great example of the white people of West Virginia

"Colored guy" even a sexist bigots should know blacks haven't been "colored" since the 40's...sounds like an elderly couple embracing the inevitability of change...a lawyer who reasons this well should be disbarred

Great story, I am an old white man that thinks we need Obama the Washington crowd has run this country into the ground we can hand it off to Obama and blame him.

"I don't dislike her, but I don't think a woman can be president of the United States." - in the same spirit I think that's why 80+ morons should be stripped off their vote rights. Especially this 87-year old retired carpenter, for being a chauvinist loser.

- An Obama fan.

Wow. You're bitter huh? Pretty sure you're aware of the fact that there's just as many, if not more, ignorant reasons people vote for any candidate. Always have been. Always will be. Implying guilt by association to those ignorant souls just shows poor logic on your part.

Good effort though. Consistent with the mud slung so far.

The MEDIA has hit a new low! The media says that Obama has a problem and cannot carry white blue collar voters! And now that Hillary Clinton campaign says this, it is a racist comment! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! And the fact is many white Americans, male and female are supporting Hillary because she does not make comments that are racist. She has been a champion for the American people most of her adult life! But racist , that is reseved for Obama! He IS a racist! He followed a racist minister for 20 years, wrote books full of racist comments and has said racist comments on the campaign trail! Obama will LOSE this election because he is a racist and holds totally Anti-American views. And a flag pen and flags behind him does NOT take 20 years away! He stands in the opposite view of what the Democrat Party has fought for. And because he is black does NOT give him a leg up to unifying anyone. it takes true care for everyone, regardless of race and catholic, jewish or whatever! Obama follows "Black theology". And it is the MOST DIVISIVE views one can follow. And 100% UNACCEPTABLE for ANY candidate that wants to represent EVERY American! OBama has DIVIDED this Party and this Country!

I believe that at this time it should be a man in the white house then a women. Its all have to do with the war going on. These 3rd world country have no respect for a women in charge. If it wasn`t for the war I strongly believe that Hillary would be the best person.

I agree with "max" -- "Go Hillary," go away ASAP!

What a worthless blog post.

pretty funny though, the old feller who had a choice between a colored guy and a woman and still decided to vote for one of 'em.

Before you start denigrating the guy for using the term "colored" bear in mind he is 87. Sorry but not everyone that age received their PC in the mail.

in his day the term was both politically correct and accepted by the black community. It also speaks volumes about YOU to criticize the guy and completely ignore the fact that an elderly white male southerner is willing to vote for a black President at all. instead try looking at it as a sign that there HAS been at least some progress in the past 75 years.

Do John McCain or conservative republicans respect the moral foundation of this country? The U.S. Constitution was designed to protect the people of America from misguided government.

U.S. Constitution: Amendment I - Freedom of Religion
Right now, for the first time ever, your tax dollars are funding religious groups you may not agree with. To add insult to injury, conservative judges have ruled that taxpayers do not have a right to challenge this expenditure.

Amendment IV - Search and seizure
Under the guise of court action against abortion, Conservative republicans had John Ashcroft subpoena all the medical records of literally thousands of women just like you and members of your family. Conservative republicans are invading your privacy every day. Unfortunately for all of us, they don't appear to care about our U.S. constitution, or by extension, the people of our great country.

Amendment X - Powers of the States and People
John McCain and conservative republicans have tried consistently to overturn States Laws. They used your tax dollars to destroy the will of the people of Oregon, and the famous "Death with Dignity" law; they lost, but undoubtedly will try again. Conservative republicans and John McCain do not respect States Rights.

Amendment VIII - Cruel and Unusual punishment
Would you rather die, or support a government which supported and sanctioned torture? The founding fathers would rather have died, and in fact they were proud to fight and die for our government: A government which specifically outlaws cruel and unusual punishment for very important reasons.

John McCain and the conservative republicans are destroying the moral foundations of our country. I urge you to keep this in mind in the coming election as we rebuild our nation together by voting Democrat.

Ok, help me out...What does the "C" in NAACP stand for?

Core Dem, care to post links and evidence to your claims that Obama has written racist books and has said racist stuff on the campaign trail? Take a look at the charter of all major religions and tell me why people go AT ALL? Methodists do not allow gay marriage and say homosexuality is an abomination yet Hillary still attends. Read Trinity's liberation theology again (well, read it for the first time actually, it's clear you haven't read it) and you'll see that it speaks to a psychological and economic liberation - not a citizenship liberation. And quit with the "he sat in those pews for 20 years" crap. Aren't you a little curious why we haven't seen any more of Rev. Wright's Greatest Hits on TV? Because he doesn't say that crazy crap every Sunday. If he did we'd be seeing him from the early 1980s, the mid 1990s, etc. But all Sean Hannity could find were two 30-second sound bytes worth of vitriol. You assume too much Core...

We can find anecdotal evidence of anything if we look hard enough. I'm not sure what this article really proves, other than that ill-informed people exist. Even on blogs and comment chains such as this, there is plenty of ignorance -- just look at "CORE DEMOCRAT" at 3:55.

The great people of West Virginia may surprise everyone and make an enlightened choice. Time will tell.

By the way... I've never actually read any of Obama's book, I just unintelligently make the assumption that he has made racist comments in them.

Ever heard "The Emperor''s New Clothes"

One see the clothes.
One see the color.
One see the body.

LOL

C in NAACP is for Colored. The guy is 87, so I give him a break and thank him for his vote. But c'mon, the colored guy has a name. Where have you been grandpa?

The lawyers comments are interesting. She thinks Obama is the weaker candidate in West Virginia. I tend to agree with her. Fortunately in many states that Clinton won like NJ, NY, RI, PA, CA and NV, I do not think that is the case.

If I we're in her place I would chose the lesser of the evils which would have been Ron Paul in my case, being a Democrat. But then I just can't perceive the world the way Republican's do.

Can we just remove West Virginia from the Union? It seems that every story out of W.Va. has nothing but quotes from people who sound like toothless morons. Surely, however, this isn't really so much a problem with W. Va. as it is with the press coverage of the state however. They probably quote mine for the most ignorant and bigoted comments...

man i thought I heard banjo music and saw scenes from Deliverance. Thank God the masses of Americans have evolved beyond these dinasours in West Va.

There is difininitely a correlation* between Hillary's support of less educated people and her overwhelming support in West Virginia. It's amazing that the Hatfields and McCoys took the day off from-a-feudin' to locate the a polling site.

*for the West Virginians....
correlation - Noun - a statitical relationship between two or more things

No, they are ignorant. It's the most ignorant state in America.

And the proudest.

Can we just move on now? As Obama has done?

Close the Ignorant Chapter until the ignorants vote again in November.

What a bunch of toothless hicks. No wonder West Virginia only has 5 electoral votes. Nobody wants to live there.

If ever Hillary was done, she was done last week when she started relying on "white, non-college educated" voters to win the nomination. I mean seriously, if you're relying on lesser-educated voters to vote get you elected, something's wrong. As someone else put it, the same kind of mentality that got us 8 years of Bush.

I must preface this by saying that I understand the perjorative nature of the comments below, but I think those who judge harshly and happen to live in New England or Indiana would do well to remember that rural Appalachia it is not.

Colored guy isn't such an epithet coming from the mouth of an 87 year old rural West Virginian man. My partner's 70+ year old rural North Carolinian father was watching Tiger play in his first winning Masters from his hospital deathbed, and one of the most endearing things I have ever heard was when he said "that colored boy sure is knocking them in!"

Fallacies:
1. "McCain is a war hero, therefore, he is strong on foreign policy". All veterans of all wars should therefore be qualified to be President of the USA.
2. "Obama is a young man without a record, therefore he will be Change". He is young and inexperienced; has no record of accomplishment other than as a community organizer. His "teen age mother" had to be at least 18 years old since she met his father in college. Let's face it: this is one big spin story and we know absolutely nothing about him because he has no record and his essence is a marketing package, much like the current occupant of the WH.
3. "Hillary is a woman and cannot be president. Third World countries would not
respect her". Actually, Third World countries have had their own woman heads of state, ie, Pakistan, India, to name a few, as well as rather influential countries such as Great Britain, Israel, Ireland, Germany. America, the land of the free, the brave, the modern, the progressive, the equal rights, the great democracy, is the
only country that has been so traumatized by the "audacity" of this woman, Hillary, to run for President of the USA. It is the only country who has ridiculed , maligned, demeaned, and criticized her on a personal basis---her laugh, her ankles, her sex---made crude jokes about her on the national airwaves of radio and tv and in the press, as a candidate, and she just happens to be the smartest, the most authentic, the most capable, of the candidates and the one with a proven record since undergraduate school of working on behalf of the betterment of others.
In summary, it is time for all Obama supporters to practice what they preach and put away the venom, the hatred, the hostility and begin to behave according to the principles of the lofty oratory of their leader or they will find themselves very much alone in November. He cannot win in November with just you and your mouths are turning me off.

The Oprah Mentality
Why is the press so biased against Hillary? Who is behind this? What ever happened to unbiased news reporting? Are we so in love with black that we forget to see the man? Obama has a phenomenal criminal background with mob connections and terrorist connections to boot. There is no way a white man, with the same frightful laundry would have ever got this far. Ok, America, you have proved that some of your best friends are black. Clearly America has become a ship of fools guided by the reckless irresponsibility of media stars who lack a sense of wisdom or intelligence.

hilary you still right here. we want you as president and your husband will help you in every step of the way.

Boris Starler--

"Obama has a phenomenal criminal background with mob connections and terrorist connections to boot"

EXCUSE ME?! Oh, now i've heard it all. mob connections? terrorist connections?! Boris, you are really one to talk about people who 'lack a sense of wisdom and intelligence.' wow. i am blown away. absolutely floored. that is by far why one of the most ridiculous posts i have ever read. go back to west virginia boris.

MarkieBee are you an idiot, or do you just play one in real life? "Methodists...say homosexuality is an abomination" Mind linking to that part their charter?

Which of the three quotes in this blog was yours? I'd guess the first.

Back in the day, I was a huge Clinton supporter (by the way, back in the day was like last year), today that has changed. Clearly, Obama has demonstrated that he can do well in the general election. If you examine the coalition of folks that he has brought together, i.e., blacks, whites, young, not so young, Independents, and Republicans (Operation Chaos not withstanding), there is no way that you can reasonably conclude that he is less, not more likely to do well as a candidate in November.

Also, contrary to political spin, the base is uber-important. Given Hillary's early support of the Iraq war, this is an achilles heel for her. White rural Republicans will not vote for a D in November. Period. We will need overwhelming support from our base. Obama has proven that he can not only rally the base, but he can reach beyond it, which is not too shabby for a general.

If you visit my website: http://www.drchuckspeaks.com/ you will see that I have been a huge supporter of Bill and Hillary, ergo, this is not some knee jerk reaction from a person swept up in Obamerica. I carefully considered the facts.

Moreover, Hillary will be able to mobilize the GOP base like never before. The disdain they have for the Clintons is legendary and, more importantly, politically damaging for Democrats. Also, when one considers the number of folks who are voting for the first time, in greater numbers than we've seen in recent memory, that is largely attributable to Obama. We all know this. Let me be clear -- It's not that Hillary is a bad person or a bad candidate. It's that she's not the right presidential candidate for the Democratic party at this time. She must concede. The outstanding superdelegates who have not committed can end this. They should end this. This intraparty bickering cannot continue. We are now hurting the likely candidate and the party for November.

So, any superdelegate who hangs on beyond May, knowing this reality, is a coward!

Terry McAuliffe should go back to doing what he was born to do: sell poor-running used cars to folks who don't know any better. He could be a wealthy man.
