4. How is that racist?

You tell me.

Anything that trivializes or criticizes hussein is racist.

Thank God there are a lot of still-hurting mrs. clinton supporters around (the left) to keep these things in check.

[ScubaGuy]

Of course it's racist.

Obama is black therefore any negative statement about Obama must be racist.  What else could it be?

Hell the DUmmies were going ape shit over positive Obama comments.  Remember when someone referred to him as "well spoken"?  They considered that to be racist.

I had to go to the thread for the punchine.

8. It is meant to look like clubbing him over the head
 as has happened in American history. 

It's because tires are black, isn't it? 

[DixieBelle]

I don't get it either. I would imagine that most DU'ers are too young to remember when gas stations were called service stations and actually had employees that would fill your tank and check your tires. I still can't see how that would be racist.

Idjits.

I find it funny that they think this is racist yet didn't utter a peep when the Democrat party smeared Michael Steele.

[Carl]

Read through the thread and it is a riot to see how some are twisting and contorting to claim racisim. 

I hope they keep it up because it soon will become just as offensive to all as real racisim is and Obama will be the one 10 points down in the polls.

Whiskey tangooooooooooooo????????????????????????

Because Steele isn't a good ****** that stayed on the plantation.

Yes, liberalism is a mental disease.

DUmmies need to pay attention to the ****ing news.  RNC is handing those things out cause Obama said his oil plan is to have us make sure our tires are properly inflated.

You tell me how thats racist, and I'll give you $20.

It's racist because it criticizes their candidate.

If it had been Hillary and not barakstar! they'd have claimed it was misogynistic instead of racist.

Either way the DNC was going to run a campaign this year based either on race or gender.

[Splashdown]

Any word that goes against teh messiah will be branded as "racist." The good news is, it will get very old very quickly. Crying wolf only gets you so far...

[BlueStateSaint]

Not only that, Splash, but ordinary Americans are really starting to tire of the guy.

Poll: Nearly half hearing too much about Obama

2 hours, 47 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama may be the fresh face in this year's presidential election, but nearly half say they're already tired of hearing about him, a poll says.

With Election Day still three months away, 48 percent said they're hearing too much about the Democratic candidate, according to a poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.

Obama, the 47-year-old Illinois senator who would become the first black president, has dominated political news coverage much of the year. According to an ongoing Pew study, Obama has appeared in more news stories this year and more people say they have heard more about him than McCain, the longtime Arizona senator who also ran for president in 2000.

Two-thirds of Republicans and about half of independents said they've heard too much about Obama, as did a third of Democrats, a significant number.

It's not a long article, but it's significant.

But I thought blacks liked white walls on their Caddies?
