Liberals Say If Obama Loses It Will Be Due To Democrat White Racism
Rhett Butler to theh Liberals! heh heh .........................
Liberals Warnings About Obama Loss May Prove Self-Fulfilling
by Dennis Prager
If Barack Obama loses the 2008 election, liberal hell will break loose.
Seven weeks before the 2008 presidential election, liberals are warning America that if Barack Obama loses, it is because Americans are racist. Of course, that this means that Democrats (and independents) are racist, since Republicans will vote Republican regardless of the race of the Democrat, is an irony apparently lost on the Democrats making these charges.
That an Obama loss will be due to racism is becoming as normative a liberal belief as “Bush Lied, People Died,” a belief has generated intense rage among many liberals. But “Obama lost because of white racism” will be even more enraging. Rage over the Iraq War has largely focused on President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. But if Obama loses, liberal rage will focus on millions of fellow Americans and on American society.
And it could become a rage the likes of which America has not seen in a long time, if ever. It will first and foremost come from within black America. The deep emotional connection that nearly every black American has to an Obama victory is difficult for even empathetic non-blacks to measure. A major evangelical pastor told me that even evangelical black pastors who share every conservative value with white evangelical pastors, including pro-life views on abortion, will vote for Obama. They feel their very dignity is on the line.
That is why the growing chorus -- already nearing unanimity -- of liberal commentators and politicians ascribing an Obama loss to American racism is so dangerous.
Andrew Sullivan of (set ital) The Atlantic: (end ital) “White racism means that Obama needs more than a small but clear lead to win.”
Jack Cafferty of CNN: “The polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense … unless it’s race.”
Jacob Weisberg of (set ital) Newsweek and Slate: (end ital) “The reason Obama isn't ahead right now is … the color of his skin. … If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth.”
Nicholas D. Kristof of (set ital) New York Times: (end ital) “Religious prejudice (against Obama) is becoming a proxy for racial prejudice.”
Gerald W. McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, in a speech to union workers: “Are you going to give up your house and your job and your children's futures because he's black?”
Similar comments have been made by Kansas’s Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, and by writers in (set ital) Time (end ital) magazine. And according to The Associated Press: “A poll conducted by The Associated Press and Yahoo News, in conjunction with Stanford University, revealed that a fairly significant percentage of Democrats and independents may not vote for Sen. Barack Obama because of his race.” If you read the poll, it does not in fact suggest this conclusion. The pollsters assert that any person with any negative view of black life means that the person is racist and means that he would not vote for Obama. Both conclusions are unwarranted. But “Obama will lose because of racism” is how the poll takers and the media spin it.
Why do liberals believe that if Obama loses it will be due to white racism?
One reason is the liberal elite’s contempt for white Americans with less education -- even if they are Democrats.
A second reason is that it is inconceivable to most liberals that an Obama loss -- especially a narrow one -- will be due to Obama’s liberal views or inexperience or to admiration for John McCain.
The third reason is that the further left you go, the more insular you get. Americans on the left tend to talk only to one another; study only under left-wing teachers; and read only fellow leftists. That is why it is a shock to so many liberals when a Republican wins a national election -- where do all these Republican voters come from? And that in turn explains why liberals ascribe Republican presidential victories to unfair election tactics (“Swift-boating” is the liberals’ reason for the 2004 Republican victory). In any fair election, Americans will see the left’s light.
If Obama loses, it will not be deemed plausible that Americans have again rejected a liberal candidate, indeed the one with the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate. Liberals will explain an Obama defeat as another nefarious Republican victory. Combining contempt for many rural and middle-class white Americans with a longstanding belief in the inevitability of a Democratic victory in 2008 (after all, everyone they talk to despises the Republicans and believes Republicans have led the country to ruin), there will be only one reason Obama did not win -- white racism.
One executive at a black radio station told me when I interviewed him on my radio show at the Democratic National Convention that he could easily see riots if Obama loses a closely contested election. Interestingly, he said he thought blacks would be far more accepting of a big McCain victory.
I pray he is wrong on the first point. But it does seem that liberals are continuing to do whatever they can to increase anger at America, or at least at “white America.” For 40 years, liberals have described the most open and tolerant society on earth as racist and xenophobic. If Barack Obama loses, the results of this liberal depiction of America may become frighteningly apparent.

And there is also this......................
AP's Racist Poll: If Obama Loses It's Because He's Black
Are you getting tired of the mainstream media meme that if you're white and you don't vote for Barack Obama it's because you're a racist? Or that if John McCain wins, it's because he's white and Obama isn't?
Well, on Saturday, the Associated Press and Yahoo News released results of a new poll, and the major take by AP writers Ron Fournier and Trevor Thompson was that if Obama loses, it's because of "[d]eep-seated racial misgivings" held by "one-third of white Democrats."
Sadly, like most polls this year claiming to deal with how racism is impacting this campaign, no questions were asked to determine how deep-seated racial misgivings of black Democrats are guiding their choice for president
Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.
More than a third of all white Democrats and independents — voters Obama can't win the White House without — agreed with at least one negative adjective about blacks, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for Obama than those who don't have such views.
Such numbers are a harsh dose of reality in a campaign for the history books.

Wild Thing's comment............
I’m not going to be threatened by these people. This is a free country, and I hope to see that it stays that way.
President of the United States is not an affirmative action position!!! And it better not ever be!!!!
I’m not too concerned about the Lib elite inciting blacks to riot if they loose. Nothing I can do about that — if the blacks riot, they riot.
But what DOES concern me is that we need to win this by a healthy margin, or the Libs are going to flood close states with thug lawyers to try to tie this up in court, with the goal to steal the election.
This is a pile of BS about it being a black thing. The Democrats have proved this with Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele and others that are black and they could have cared less. They HATED these blacks because of what they stand for, what their beliefs are and their high charater. What the left did to these two fine men is unforgivable!!!
Will blacks riot if Obama does not win? There may be some, but it's really going to backfire on those perpetrating the violence; I recall the burning and looting of South Central after the Rodney King verdict, just how stupid and crazy Blacks were to destroy businesses and homes owned by other minorities simply because they didn't want to risk getting arrested and/or shot at in the San Fernando and Simi Valley's, or Beverly HIlls, Pacific Palisades anywhere else that was not heavily a black area. I also recall Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) encouraging the rage.
The various law enforcement agencies around the country (especially those in the major Blue cities) are probably already planning to be prepared to keep it to a minimum.
Once again with all of this and I bet we hear more of it before Nov. 4th, is that this is a form of a threat to anyone that will not vote for their anti-American B. Hussein Obama.
....Thank you Mark for the article.

The Democrat Party has always been the party of racism. They founded the KKK and what's never mentioned in current history is that almost 1/3 of Klan victims were White Republicans. It's the Democrats that continually reelect a former KKK leader to the Senate and it was the Democrats that fought against the Civil Rights Act. It was Democrat President JFK and his brother Bobby that used illegal wiretapping on Martin Luther King.

I guess that gives me the excuse to riot if McCain/Palin lose. If obama loses maybe I should riot because Obama is half White.
Obama's campaign and MSM backers have accented the racial issue since Obama entered the primaries. Yat, as Rev Wright so well demonstrated, Blacks don't like Condi Rice or Colin Powell and consider them Uncle Tom types. Blacks hate Clarence Thomas.
Too many Black leaders would like to see anarchy and their followers would be quick to oblige. It is sad that situation exists, but Obama's campaign and the publicity of his background have shown that there is a lot of Black racism in America. His own wife has proven to be an angry racist.

Obama is the one that brought up the Racecard- so if it comes back to bite him in the butt- it is his own fault- !! Personally I see him as a loser - a liar -- a military hater- an American hater- a racist- and he is a baby hater too- no matter how he lies about it-! So if all the blacks in America want to lose their minds about Obama not winning- really who cares??- I know he is too damn ignorant to be President- that is for sure!! If they riot- they will just prove they are as ignorant as him-! If they couldn't figure it out before- Now they will be able to know in advance- Maybe they should try to act civilized ! A black just for the sake of being black- that is not even a true black!!?? LMAO!!!!!

The libs seem to be preparing to lose. They evidently know they have an empty suit as a candidate and an awful lot of baggage to go along with that empty suit.
I don't know if that poll is wrong. There are a lot of people who have been shafted along the way because of affirmative action programs and other reverse discrimination programs against whites.
To paraphrase Reverand Wroght, 'Affirmative Action's chickens are coming home to roost.' The liberals can call it what they want but this is payback time.
This affirmative action crap, ratio quotas this has been shoved down our throats for the past 40 years now it is payback.
And I don't blame thme one bit. Riots, so be it.

The DNC and Obama are the ones pushing this Marxist, it's the message more than the messenger, they picked Obama to sell their agenda to all the blacks and blind followers of the Democrats. You'd see none of this backlash if they had ran an America loving black, instead they put an America hating Saul Alinsky protégé in our faces then the party hacks and Obama rammed the racist theme down our throats. Their class warfare version of a guilt trip isn't working, these pricks were set free 140 years ago and again in 1968, we've acceded to their every whim and all they want is to destroy their own home. Let them riot!!!

From what I am seeing, it appears that the toe tag libturds are preparing to lose and of course the race card will be played again and again. Now if the negroids want to riot and burn down their neighborhoods, thats fine, but if they come to mine, Rabbi Mossberg will be loaded and standing guard.

And throwing Hillary under the bus and selecting Joe Scrapple Biden as a weak VP had nothing to do with it either, eh?

Tom, LOL good one. And our riot would be the mother of all riots. heh heh They use that mother of all the time. heh heh
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 23, 2008 06:45 PM
Cheryl, exactly and for them to act civilized would really be a shock. haha
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 23, 2008 06:46 PM
Mark, I agree so much, all these articles we have been seeing lately and the things you said, they do show that there is an underlying of how they are preparing to lose and what they will claim is the reason. Just like there are articles out there about how the voting machines are not all good yet and how some are already messing up in registrations and vorter fraud. All to prepare people for bickering and fighting about this election.

Jack, ...."Their class warfare version of a guilt trip isn't working"........you are so right. They really judged American's wrong.
