Fatimah Ali: We need Obama, not 4 more years of George Bush | Philadelphia Daily News | 09/02/2008

Answer 1

You are the definition of "out of context."

I urge everyone on this thread to read the link.  It is a monument to the posters stupidity.

Answer 2

And they say republicans are fear-mongers  

Answer 3

He's obviously a racist.

Answer 4

Because he wants to play the race card.  

Answer 5

Those guys in the white sheets have been saying that for a year....if he IS elected!  But don't worry.  The GOP managed to steal two elections back to back, what's one more?  The fascisti of the Republican party will eliminate your social security, outlaw abortion, trash the Constitution, bulk up the Homeland Security Gestapo, put the g**s back in the closet and teach 'Intellegent design' in the church run private schools of America.  If you can't afford private health insurance, well, there's always the emergency room.  Of course if you don't have the $5.00 bucks to travel on newly privatized road system that's tough...no 'handouts, bro.  Ah, well, with our 'oil only' energy policy you can't afford gas anyway.  Only in America!  

Answer 6

So we should vote for him out of guilt and fear of what will happen if we don't? This is disgusting.

Answer 7

She wants Obama to win and will say anything to get others to vote for him. She is saying in print what a lot of Americans are thinking. If McCain wins we will be enmeshed for years in litigation and social unrest. A large number of people in this country feel that it is Obama's God given right, and the only acceptable social outcome, to be President.  

Answer 8

Stupidity, maybe trying to bring fear and white guilt. However this will only bring race into the election, which sucks.

Answer 9

"If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!"

Apparently because she thinks our country will go down the tubes if McCain is elected.
