Ron Paul

[Rizzo]

I voted for Ron Paul in the last election and I'd do it again today if I could. I just pray his son gets elected in KY. He is our future hope.

While at Knob Creek, this weekend, I saw a t-shirt that contained the would-be slogan "Guess we Can't" adjacent to a monochrome line-drawing of Obama, except the President's eyes were replaced by step-n'-fetch-it eyes from early movies.

Any way you slice it, that's racism.

What in the hell are "step-n'-fetch-it (sic) eyes." Actor Stepin Fetchit (Lincoln Perry) was criticized for his racial portrayal, but I don't recall anything in particular about his eyes.

Ask a black friend.

Ask a black friend.

So racism is whatever you want it to be?

It's anybody who doesn't bow down to their messiah, and who dares not worship at the Altar of Paul. It works for the Church of Obama, it might work for them!

 

[dross]

Does racism exist? Yes.
Do some people oppose Obama out of racism? Almost certainly there are some.
Is racism a significant reason Obama is opposed? No.

Here's a guy who won when the last two white men the party put up lost. He defeated the presumptive nominee in the primaries and then won in a larger victory than all but one of the last four presidential elections.

If the goal is stamp out all racism in every heart, the goal will never be accomplished. If the goal is that racism no longer have a practical effect - look around - you're here.

Like I said, ask a black friend. This is easy.

You can see the shirt at Sgt. Smith's Army/Navy store in Rushville. Take your black friends with you and ask their opinion of the shirt.

This is really simple: when you replace a person's natural visage with another person's features in order to emphasize one's race, you're engaging in racism.

It's so blatant, but you can't describe it, except to suggest "take a black friend?" So, it's completely subjective?

I found this on Cafepress. This would be an interesting ticket for 2012:
Gifts - in this shop

I would have to to see the shirt myself - that doesn't mean that what is or isn't racism to me would be or wouldn't be to any given black individual. There's a lot of oversensitivity out there as much as insensitivity.

If the drawing of a person's caricature accentuates certain features that are associated with that person's ethnicity, it's bound to be called stereotype at best - hatemongering and racist further down the scale.

is this it?

If it is this type, I don't see the racism (looks like a character from beavis and buthead cartoon).

 

[smoking357]

is this it?

Nope.

Eying another longshot bid, Paul addresses SRLC - Yahoo! News
Love this guy, but he is not Presidential material.

I am no fan of Ron Paul in regards to presidency either. Seeing him being made fun of in Bruno, I did have to feel sorry for him.

It's 51 miles from Carmel to Rushville. It's 12 miles from Carmel to the offices of the Indianapolis Recorder. You could see for yourself and pick up a second opinion, along the way.

Since you see it everywhere you go, you could simply take a picture and no one would have to take a 102 mile round-trip on the basis of an anonymous Internet allegation against all those who fail to see the charms of Obama.

 

[dross]

Please explain why taking a black friend will determine is something is racist? Is your premise that all black folks are able to accurately determine what is objectively racist?

 

[CSK22]

What is he though 75? Kind of long in the tooth.

You know here on campus the main reason kids weren't voting for Mccain was because he was old, and the whole joke about him being old scared them. They were afraid Palin would become president.

Whoever made up the alleged shirt, I fail to see how it has anything to do with Ron Paul.

I suggest this topic be taken to a thread titled "Why opposition to Obama is racist." Then we will all invite our friends whom happen to be black, to tell us how to feel about it.





We are still waiting to see something about an interview that was supposedly on live TV.

 

[DragonGunner]

Actually...it should be friends that are black...not "black friends"...I had a
pastor of 9 years....he was black...I never referred to him as my black pastor.
If you don't understand this PM me an ask.

 

[libertybear]

I stood in the cold rain and snow for Ron and would do it again. One of the only true conservatives left.

I didn't see any other candidates supported like this...

I see you're back to just making stuff up.

As to your second dodge, the ostrich method doesn't dismiss the bill.
