    OK, I'll Play

    yeah keep telling me I'm a white man...I am Asian and female, you sexist idiot!!

    Instead of debunking our arguments Obamabots keep resorting to ad hominem. Why don't you tell that black dude he's a KKK boy?

    Moron is what moron says and thinks....

    -- indigo218

    First, yeah, you're right. I am sexist to think that only white KKK males would be as idiotically and blatantly narrow-minded as you are. My apologies for assuming that women of color are more tolerant.

    Second, what argument did you make, that if he were Asian he would've lost? Since he isn't Asian -- and no Asian has run for president -- how the fuck can you possibly know if that were true or not? It's just speculation, and you were merely projecting your hatred of blacks onto Obama vis-a-vis an Asian candidate. My point was that if Obama were white, he would've won in a walk months ago. Care to debate that?

    Third, you should certainly know about the qualifications of a moron, so I guess I'll bow to your judgment on that issue.

    Good luck with your vote for McCain. Hope that works out for you.
