Why I'm Scared of an Obama Presidency

[SwedishMeatball]

Yeah, I love the way the article has to mention his Harvard educated African father and Rev. Wright. Gotta keep that fear going. That is why Sean Hannity is so successful at what he does. He sends those brilliant subliminal messages using sound bites to further instill the fear of Obama by hearing the harsh sounds of a black man. This does it the same way only with an added twist by adding a couple of more facts Brill absolutely Brill.

Are you afraid of the facts?? I don't believe in withholding information just because it is inflammatory in some people's opinions. We should all be given the benefit to have the whole story presented, and then each individual can determine from there what is important to them. So if you know all that and it sits well with you, then fantastic. But don't pull the old fear and/or race cards on those who choose to listen to all the facts and don't agree with his agenda.

Why does an African father and a black man's voice "instill fear"? What are you talking about? I think this might be a case where you're accidentally extending your own biases to others.

And they are sending out crazy fear mongering e-mails around about Obama. My FIL who is die hard republican, sends me e-mails, and he BELIEVES these, showing Obama as anything from a terrorist to the ANTI-CHRIST. Literally, the ANTI-CHRIST, and I'm not kidding. People are actually believing this. I don't know how bc look at the state of this country, you want another republican in office? Now that's scary!

I have a friend that is a die-hard dem/Hilary supporter that is convinced that Obama was rasied and groomed by terrorist and that his one mission in lafe has been to becomme the pres and bring down the USA.

No, you might be able to sell one to my FIL though.

Now if I asked you how many black friends you had, what would you say?
You opened the door now deal!

Who is pulling the race card? Why can't YOU admit that that is what Sean hannity is doing when he plays the sound bites? Any person who has a college education and took psych 101 can admit this. I deal with facts, and I also deal with the fact that people base their opinion on experiences. What I also know is that everything in this country is based on race no matter what anyone says. If it were not the mention of Rev Wright would not have been in that article. All I was saying is that it was done brilliantly. That's all. Why can't you just except my feelings on the situation??

Oh good, so now all those lobbying for gay rights, womens rights, elderly rights, kids rights, universal health care, the war etc, can all go out and find new jobs or causes, because after all "everything" is all based on race, so the rest just don't matter.

I'm really not sure what you're blabbering about. I don't really care what Hannity's agenda is when it comes to how he presents the issues. I just said that I think it's important that people have access to the facts, even if it offends some people's delicate sensibilities. Now if you want to believe that people are so stupid that they can't think for themselves, and therefore such material is off limits, well that's your issue. I don't care and I don't have a problem accepting that as your perspective. On the other hand, you should take a dose of your own medicine, because you certainly seem hostile about people who don't interpret the facts in the same way that you do.

OH goodness here we go. You know what I mean. When it comes to race. It matters. Period

Then don't bother to reply. Just reflect
I educate the uneducated. Just because you have the ability to think doesn't mean the rest of us do.

To some it does, to others not at all.

Hey, you're not the boss of me. So let's see, we should all cower in the corner and secretly educate ourselves, or be lumped in with some segment of society who you don't trust?? Alriiiiiighty then!! You have fun swooping in and educating those masses of "bitter people clinging to their guns and religion, and antipathy towards those who are different".

Good heavens! I notice that sometimes when we post something it reveals more about us than we even realize.

I usually DO NOT get involved in these conversations. I am ANTI OBama and believe he is BAD NEWS for our country and my skin crawls just thinking about him running our country. It has nothing to do with his race, either!

I recieved the following email and looked into it and it all appears to be truth... just something else to think about!


Re: OBAMA

Think you know who this man is?
This possible President of the United States?? Read Below and
ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the
President of our great nation!!!!

Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!


From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

*We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President.

Now some of it may have been said in context with other things, but all of it just makes me very SCARED of his running our nation.

I agree with the poster below!

I'm not scared of the assassination attempts due to race AT ALL. My God, look at the deep-seeded hatred that people all over the country and the world have for Bush! Do you not think that there are thousands or more that would like to see that fate for him?

And the religion thing - if the church that my president attends is spouting racism and hate, I most definitely do give a rat's a**! He could have gone to any number of other churches. He knew exactly what was going on there and if he didn't then do we want someone so blind as our president? His choice of friends (Wright, Ayers) scares the crap out of me!
