    debaser be oblivious as much as you like

    I and many others have gotten our fair share being called racist just because we are not enamored by O and think he's unelectable and unfit. No matter how strong arguments we come up with we'll be just called racist.

    But no, sorry if a black man can see that he is an affirmative action candidate, then obviously it's not racist to say that because that's the truth (none of you could come up with a believable answer with my hypothesis "had he been a half Japanese who was a member of a fascist Japanese group.")

    and tell him he's racist. I don't expect any of you can think beyond what's scripted for you by the media and O's camp but at least you can learn to see things from different POVs. Ooops...sorry, the capacity of being able to see from different POVs is the same as the ability to think beyond what's scripted. My apology (sarcasm).
