Turns out he’s a black fella’. Who knew?
Of course, in my defense, I think the fact that Michael Steele and Clarence Thomas aren’t black threw me off. From an empirical perspective. But hey, I’m a quick study, I’ll figure out how these things work soon enough.
Probably has something to do with Oprah, is my guess.
Developing…

You think that’s confusing, his mother is white, which traditionally makes him white, too. I don’t particularly like Obama’s politics, but it is fascinating to realize that race relations in Amerikkka have reached the point that candidates would rather run as blacks than whites when given the option.
Well, cha, Jeff. Though Condi Rice isn’t really black or (as we saw last week) really a woman either. So it’s hard sometimes.
If this keeps up, we’re going to have to open up the voting to cyborgs, just to keep things balanced.
OK…..so now I’m all fucked up. What does that make OJ?
How are we supposed to disenfranchise cyborgs?
And for a black fella he’s really…articulate don’t you think?
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
I forget. Is pot illegal?
A reformed Oreo, Sticky B.
He’s still the malignant narcissist he apparently always was, only the public perception has changed.
I think he speaks so nicely.
Where’s some Joementum when you need it?
Well, according to official KKK-approved racial standards, as promulgated by such leading intellectual Senators as Bobbie Byrd (Dipshit-VA), even ONE DROP of black blood is enough!
Unless you move off’n the plantation, that is.
Obama presents himself as a candidate who is ‘above politics’–the great uniter. What a crock of shite.
Pols claiming to be ‘above it all’ are much more dangerous than those who espouse a frank position: interested only in their own power and committed to nothing but the exigencies of the political moment, they betray the sign of the natural despot.
I’d also like to point out that Obama has had no interest in serving the country in whatever capacity he is placed; he came to Washington specifically to become President. No lesser role interests him. He’s worse than Clinton and Carter rolled together and far more damgerous.
He is a hard Leftist in Centrist’s clothing and must be stopped.
She’s a childless, orphan, woman, which evidently means she has no soul. So of course she can’t be black.
I thought Verdi’s oprah was Otello not Obama.
During the Clinton years, that was called “triangulation”. It worked for Bubba, so why wouldn’t Obama employ it?
:long face:
What I want to know: if Obama gets elected, will Clinton still be the first black President?
We like to think of Barak Obama as mocha, not black. Make sure you try our new Obama Frapachino. We make a donation to the DNC every time you buy one.
If Obama gets elected Bill Clinton will still be the only black president.
Off-topic: The evil neo-cons are stealing Jeff’s look.
Well, we already had a kinda orange candidate back in ‘04. I’m just wondering when Hillary starts to malanin up once the primaries get goin’.
Melanin, that is.
I think he’s a Jooo. Because he claims to be everything else. And that’s how “those people” operate.
The race is on between HRC and Obama: Which will be the first to be blackfaced by Jane Hamster?
I didn’t know I’d run into Isiah here. Doogie Howser and John Mayer have messages for you.
I heard that Obama is a muslim. Those muslims like to kill little Christian children and use their blood to make their matzo. At least that is what I have been told.
This argument also works if Mitt Romney gets the GOP nomination. Just substitute “mormon” for “muslim.” If McCain gets the nomination, then just substitute “really old cranky dude” for “muslim.”
More Isiah Washington hate speech.
Here is the money quote in the article above: “Meanwhile, John Mayer has also weighed in on the controversy on his blog, saying he suggests as that Washington should be forced to play a gay man on Grey’s as punishment for his derogatory comments.”
I will go one step farther and suggest that Isiah Washington should be forced to be gay. I agree to impose this on Washington.
He will learn to love it.
ARTICULATIST!
Hillary: Are you a top or a bottom?
Obama Hussein Barak. Trained in a madrass when he was young. http://hillaryspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ODE0Mjg0MTQxMDJlNzVlMzA5ODIwNTAxNGQ0MzVjZjM=
I hope he is on the no fly list.
It is really none of your business Ahem. . . but tell me what you think I would be.
He’s not just black, he’s the black Bush.
Only with less governmental experience.
Hah!! Doogie, what should happen is he should be forced to play Sammy Davis Jr.!!
That would teach him!!
Hillary: I’m not sure I really want to know. Frankly, I like a bit of mystery. There’s always been something vaguely dominating about your public persona that I’ve found seductive in a Marxian, grand mal seizure kind of way.
What color undies are you wearing?
Fine, but no more fruit baskets! Those Harry & David baskets are pricy, even for me. Damn those fruity gay jews.

Chew on this for a while Ahem. I don’t like sex, I like to slowly hurt and torture boy-men who do not do as I ask.
I’d ask Vince Foster, but he’s not talking. Dick Morris has got toes in his mouth. Sandy Burger is fooling with his pants.
So where’s the verification?
Trust me. I can vouch for it.
An’ ah plays Othello wit big blubbery lips, lahk dis!
Now now Collins. I have no idea where that garbage is coming from.
We attack people on unproved speculation and inuendo around here–but not on the excessive melanin in their skins.
Michael,
And why would you think that pretending blackface would be an attack on black people?
Bwahahahaha!
I think y’all are just jealous.
The Republicans would swap half the oil fields in Iraq to have an ‘08 presidential candidate as strong as Obama (or Hillary or Edwards).
What a carnival this is gonna be: “Straight shooter” McCain, John F. Romney and Ron Paul. Kucinich would look like the normal one in that pack o dogs.
I don’t have to put up with this shit! Fifty years ago we would hang you Collins.
And to clarify, I hate Obama because his mother fouled herself and her people by copulating with. . . a foreigner. And one with diplomatic immunity to boot.
And of course, because of the whole African thing. But I am not bigoted. Charlize Theron is African and hot.
And oh yeah, Obama is a dirty muslim pig dog. I forgot that one.

George Bush’s numbers are in the toilet, yet the only candidate who polls even lower is. . . John Kerry. I am back to Heinz. If I wasn’t such a good Catholic I would divorce Kerry, but I guess I will have to kill him instead.
I will push him into the relish making machine and we can bottle what comes out and call it Heinz No. “58″–Loser Sauce.
But you promised you wouldn’t, Barack.
…
I feel so… used.
Alphie,
Of the three Democrats you listed the top Republicans would have no trouble putting away Obama and Edwards.
It’s true Obama just oozes charisma, but he’s just too green to win as president. He’s never really had to take a punch, and all the tapdancing over religion is going to hurt. If it turns out he actually spent time in a madrassa he can pretty much kiss his political career goodbye. Besides, as a presidential candidate there’s no “above it all”, really. He’s way far left of the American populace, and as soon as they realize it he’ll go down.
Did you not see the debate last time between Cheney and Edwards? Cheney left a smoking hole in the ground where Edwards was sitting. I mean, really, this guy is a terrible debater. And he’s really vulnerable over taxes. He thinks taxes for rich people should go up but when it came time to pay his share he exploited a loophole so he could pay less? Oh puleeez. He probably couldn’t beat Newt. Oh, and people just don’t like scumbag lawyers. You think he’ll get any votes from smokers?
Hillary actually has a chance. She’s got a good machine behind her, and she doesn’t really have any scandals that haven’t been well aired, as far as I know. On the other hand she’s got pretty high negatives (which supposedly never really go down) and she’s a political novice. She won one election where her opponent imploded halfway through. In a solid blue state.

Scuttlebutt has it that it is the Clintonista camp behind the whisper campaign about Barak’s muslim roots and not being a “real” African American (not being a descendent of slaves).
I don’t know, Eric.
Each party only gets one candidate in the end.
The Democrats would be happy with Obama, Hillary, Edwards or even Gore.
I don’t see a single candidate that the Republicans would happy with. Even “Surge” McCain seems to have quite a few hatas within the party. Romney is okay, but I don’t think his makeover will be anywhere near complete by next year…
My bet:
Edwards vs. Romney
Edwars wins 52-47
So would the Republicans. We were deliriously happy with Gore in 2000.
And Kerry in 2004.
So, yeah, we Republicans would be happy with any of those four.

You rat bastards. You lie. Hillary did not do this slander on Obama. Everyone knows he doesn’t believe in god.
John Edwards. Somehow, I can’t ever get past this.
Barely a dozen posts down at the Kos link:
lol.
The head Kossack? For real?
Alphie,
Lemme put it this way. If Edwards gets the Democratic nomination the soles of my shoes will be well worn from doing the happy dance a week after the convention. I may stock up on sedatives just to pace myself a little.
It will make the third election in a row where the Dems have nominated the candidate with the least chance of actually beating any Republican. Edwards vs. Romney? No way Edwards does even as well as Lurch.
But Clarence Thomas is black. I don’t get it.
No way! How can he be a racist if he’s black?
Considering that Markos has a long history as a whore, excuse my suspicion that he’s actually doing the Clinton bidding (with a little cash on the side) by spreading the whisper campaign against Obama via faux outrage and misdirection towards the “right-wing animals”.
But Clarence Thomas is black. I don’t get it.

I don’t know if your complete ignorance on politics and history is fended or not
but it is grating.
Stop mooching off mommy and daddy’s money and pick up a few books, eh?
argh
should be “feigned”
(this is what happens while posting in the same room with a couple of bouncing 4 y/o boys)
Don’t worry. Elect any of those three and you will.
