Because I am not voting for Obama, will I hence forth be known as a racist?

Question

Ahh, feeling the love already...

Answer 1

Yup.. There could be no reason to not vote for the Lord High Obama, Savior of the Universe..  Therefore you must have a racist bias  

Answer 2

Welllll since he's mixed, I'd say maybe just half racist.

Answer 3

No you wont but look at what is going on in the world and decide if you want to keep throwing money away on a civil war.

Answer 4

It depends on why you won't vote for Obama.  If you think he is too liberal or dislike his stance on certain issues, then no.  If you can't stomach a black man being president, then yes.

Honestly, I think most of this racist hogwash is being perpetuated by whiny conservatives that don't realize how racist they are.

Answer 5

I don't see the accusation being thrown all that much.

There sure seems to be a lot of gratuitious denial going on though.

Seems incongruous.

Oh yeah, the last guy has a good idea.  Have you considered keeping your mouth shut?

Answer 6

of course not im not voting for him either!!!

Answer 7

Do what most of the rest of us are doing.  Just say you haven't made up your mind or that you are going to vote Obama.  As Mark Twain said, "Never argue with an idiot, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

Answer 8

The only people I hear say this are conservatives.  I have yet to hear any Obama supporter accuse someone of being a racist just because that person will not vote for Obama.

Answer 9

no just a big dummie

Answer 10

Hey we can be racist together if that what it takes to keep our country safe even though racist is the farthest thing on my mind.

Answer 11

Depends on why you aren't voting for him.   A lot of people don't agree with his positions--and that's their privilege. Currently, studies/polls show that only about 1/3 of McCain supporters are motivated primarily by racism.  Which won't have a measurable effect--practically all of them are part f the hardcore Republican base.

However--if you really aren't racist, I suggest you think through your reasons. As things stand, McCain doesn't have much to offer, compared to Obama.  My point isn't to be partisan. Its to make you aware of something you will have to deal with: there are a lot of people who, looking at McCain, are going to assume you are a racist because he does have so little to offer. It appears to many people--rightly or wrongly--that racism is the only reason why anyone would vote for McCain.

You may disagree with this view of McCain--but be aware that many people  do.  And--like it or not--you've chosen to line up on the side of the racists. Even if you do not share heir views, you will be known by the company you choose to keep.

Answer 12

unfortunetly yes
