I don't think McCain or Palin have personally fueled the racist fire, but some of their supporters definitely have. I also applaud McCain for confronting people at his events that have suggested that Obama is a Muslim.
To that point, it really disturbs me about how many Americans got caught up in the Muslim rhetoric, and furthermore, it's terrible that in doing so, it branded the whole Muslim religion as bad for those who wish to think so, which is a horrible thing for our citizens to to. I bet a vast majority of these people don't know a single thing about the Muslim religion. At the same time, there are people attending McCain/Palin events that are putting out racist thoughts. Here's an example...listen to the guy at 23 seconds in; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRqcfqiXCX0 And, if you search on youtube for McCain, racism, you'll see lot's more, and it's disgusting. There was a video in which a guy actually looked right at the camera and called Obama an "N" word, but fortunately it was removed from YouTube. I was going to post it here Tommy didn't believe it existed. But, you don't just have to use the "N" word to stir the racist fire. Watch that whole video above. Watch as what appears to be a nice old lady starts off with her racist statement. This is something that invalidates the concept that "America is the greatest country on earth" When I was younger, I used to believe that. Then I spent years of my life living and working overseas, only to come home to a country where racism is alive and well, and that includes things said by the Rev. Wright, but, for me, it's easy to see where his brand of racism came from, because his race has been horribly abused right up into this century, and finally we are starting to see that go away, slowly but surely, and the nomination of Obama is proof. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hemeon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I like word "Coded".
