Who thought conservatives would find their best allies in Clinton supporters -- allied by their desire to bring down minorities seeking power?So funny. Heh.A black man finally runs for president and has a decent chance of winning, and his passport file is compromised. Is anybody surprised?

Hillary's was compromised as well.Read the entire article on cnn first.
3/21/2008 10:59:11 AM
and I'm sure it's because Obama is black... has nothing to do with him... at all. Just because he's black.You're so retarded.

Minority applies to race not gender.Seeing as how white men and white women are roughly 50/50 population wise.

I don't support Obama because his policies are not well thought out. As I have said in many, many previous posts....1) it is unclear what he will do in Iraq. He claims to want pull out "immediatley", but remarks he made in 2006 and remarks his staff have made in subsequent years contradict this sentiment. Links can be provided on request (I've posted them 10-12 other times, so i don't think it's necc unless someone can't find them).2) his health care plan (as presented) is ill conceived. It would, without a doubt, raise premiums and make it harder for working poor to afford health insurance. It also does not address the primary crisis in health care--rising costs. In fact, by increasing demand for health care resources, his plan will likely make the problem worse. 3) His position on NAFTA is either dumb or dishonest. If he actually thinks closing America off to its largest trading partner (Canada) will make us richer, he's crazy. If he doesn't think this, then he's a liar. And I could keep going on. I consider myself a progressive, but I don't believe Obama is the best candidate running for President. And it has nothing to do with his race.

minority can apply to both especially when you're talking about changing the current dominant political paradigmboth women and blacks had to carry out steps and processes to get the same rights that white males had all alongits kind of funny that hillary and barack...both proponents of affirmative action, which does apply to both women and racial minorities, are proponents of affirmative action because they want to see minorities like women and blacks have equal opportunities...but they obviously dont want to see the other one succeed and become presidenti bet both of them wish their opponent was john edwards or some other white male cause they cant really pander using the affirmative action card]

^^ racist.
3/21/2008 11:11:18 AM
Both minorities and blacks eh?I thought this was a dumb troll attempt by liusclues but you guys sure enough bit hard.Grats.
3/21/2008 11:11:54 AM
what?
3/21/2008 11:13:19 AM
SandSanta, Minority usually refers to minority in political and economic power. Women comprise 50% of the population, but less than 1% of the elected reps in the House and Senate are women. And very few CEOs of companies, professors at Universities, etc are women.I don't think that's totally 100% discrimination. But, I don't believe it's a stretch to call them a minority either.

LiusClues you might have a point except all the racist white males who run this country are also sexist and don't want a woman presidentso you fail
3/21/2008 11:17:15 AM
Minority refers to a lesser of two.Hence why every publication and news source always say "minority voters and women", because they aren't the same demographic.
3/21/2008 11:18:02 AM
Lius, Well, their policies are not totally the same. In particular, Hillary's health care plan is much improved. But I don't like all of Hillary's policies either. Therefore, as it stands, I am voting for John McCain this November.
3/21/2008 11:18:55 AM
3/21/2008 11:20:22 AM
Lius can you vote in the presidential election? I don't know if you're a citizen or not so I'm just askingAlso do you really think the evil white male racist conservative republicans aren't sexists as well?]
3/21/2008 11:21:12 AM
SandSanta, because there is only one objective dimension on which to compare two populations. Give me a break.
3/21/2008 11:21:15 AM
Lius,You're Asian. Save the Black Rage for the people who earned it. Peace out!

I've rarely heard white women being referred to as a 'minority.'Because you know, there are currently more of them then there other ethnicities.
3/21/2008 11:24:12 AM
POLITICAL MINORITIESHoly shit, can you not comprehend?comprendes?
3/21/2008 11:26:04 AM

again ignoring my point and failing to address it whatsoeveri'll take that as conceding defeatunless you consider SandSanta's trolling the literal use of a word while ignoring the political connotation as that point being addressed "over and over again"]

^^^i just dont know why all the evil white conservative republican racists arent sexist as well, and you clearly dont want to even consider addressing that thorn in your thread's sideprobably because when i mentioned it, you thought to yourself "oh yeah, but that would mean the white devils would want a woman as president? i better act like i wasnt serious all along and try and save face"]

i am a communist who knows everything about americaas a non US citizen, i know a lot more about america than any naturally born white devil idiot]

What if I were a communist?Would that scare you?Would it be scary?
3/21/2008 11:39:41 AM
What IF? what do you mean IF?You're a citizen of China, a communist country...that would make you a communistI just know if I moved to China with a green card, I wouldn't try to act like I knew all about their country and how to run it, because that would be stupid as shit, just like you are being]

I thought you were done talking to me, but here you are.I just think it's so ... funny ... I mean, who thought that conservatives would find so much in common with their sworn enemies, the CLINTONS?
3/21/2008 11:42:12 AM
Liu, I wasn't making fun of you for being Asian. I was making fun of you for co-opting the legitamate anger many blacks have developed over centuries of opression for your own political purposes. That is a lot more racist than someone honestly disagreeing with Obama over policy. And even though I don't have a pic in my photo gallery, that actually is a lot how I look. Though I prefer first-person shooters to RPGs.[Edited on March 21, 2008 at 11:44 AM. Reason : ``]
3/21/2008 11:42:47 AM
I like how you post a pic of a gangsta asian out of nowhere. You know, because that's completely "not racist" behavior.
3/21/2008 11:43:37 AM
3/21/2008 11:43:54 AM
It's not that they want a woman president.Do I need to spell it out?
3/21/2008 11:47:47 AM
that would hide his racism.He hates whites and thinks we all are evil and only throw a bone to minorities.
3/21/2008 11:48:05 AM
you havent spelled out anything in this whole thread, i dont know why you would start now
3/21/2008 11:48:06 AM
3/21/2008 11:48:32 AM
Co-opting black anger, which you couldn't possibly fully understand, to give your argument emotional authority is racist. I posted that pic because I knew you would think it was racist and that would probably piss you off. I'm kind of a dick like that.
