Isn't it a big-time crime to make threats against Presidential candidate. If there are reporters video or audio taping these comments they have a civic duty to turn the recordings over to authorities.<BR/><BR/>And remember -- violent comments aren't exclusive to extremes on the right. More than a few protesters have hung Bush in effigy, called for his assasination and more. There have even been "warnings" of riots if Obama isn't elected.<BR/><BR/>What's up with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489126.post-44096114413817927092008-10-09T16:18:00.000-07:002008-10-09T16:18:00.000-07:00Another that I hear often: "Nobody talks about the...Another that I hear often: "Nobody talks about the blacks being racist. They're just voting for him because he's black." That means: "Blacks are being favored above me, and promoting each other once they get into a position of any power, and the reason I didn't get that last job is because I'm white." boy, do I hear reverse discrimination a lot! <BR/><BR/>And speaking of code talking, what do you think of "that one?"MountainLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512030002803787636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7489126.post-1929507385766529702008-10-09T06:41:00.000-07:002008-10-09T06:41:00.000-07:00There is lots of "code talking" going on.

That means "I aint votin fer no n!@@#$."<BR/>or:<BR/>"I've got nothing against blacks, but I'm afraid he'll only do thing for the blacks."<BR/>which means:<BR/>"I'm afraid of black people and I aint votin fer one."<BR/><BR/>Let's face it, how many black people do you think a guy like Puffy McBush knows on a personal level. Sure, he might talk to members of congress and the press who are black, but how many times has his invite list included black people. . . probably never or just that time when he needed to put on a show in Georgetown, so he invited Alan Keys.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.com
