Interesting article about the "Willie Horton-ization" of Obama.

I think virus may be quoted in there, I'm not sure.



The end was most interesting:
Quote:
"I don't see how the Democrats don't understand the Lee Atwater playbook. His tactics have been winning elections, even after his death" in 1991, Forbes said. The Horton campaign "represented the triumph of spin and smear over the issues. They know that if you wrap things in the flag, you can sell anything."

Absolutely not. But don't let that get in the way of you making asinine statements. Any institution or government that decides anything based on race are the real racists, this includes affirmative action in the workplace and schools.

Democrats are the worst thing that's happened to the black community since slavery. Now in place of plantation owners millions of urban blacks are slaves to a govn welfare check. Guess who we have to thank for this?

I'm sure you'd give em a real good job. Maybe even a little place out back they could live. You're the kind of guy that'd probably spare the rod too. Good for you, you're one of the good ones.

Mind you, not only has poverty decreased since 1959, only increasing during recession eras, it's telling that the most unified opposition against Affirmative Action are white men.

Btw, like Mindel and I, Sarah Palin also is protected by Affirmative Action Laws. The difference between Obama and Palin is that Obama made it to Harvard Law and Palin made it to North Idaho Community College where she took a class in communications.

Varus doesn't believe in racists. He just believes in good, red-blooded, God-fearing Americans and ******-lovers.

Forgetting that this one of the most offensive and retarded statement you've made in quite a while, less blacks are on welfare than whites.

I'm glad we shared the slavery burden so equally.

I really love the idea that all one must do is skip merrily in to a welfare office and mere moment later they're out the door with pockets stuffed with free money. While there have always been people who game the system, most welfare recipients live on meager means and regularly endure a dehumanizing bureaucratic process that most people simply wouldn't stand for unless they absolutely had to.

Remind me again what the percentage of blacks on welfare is compared to other races?

I suppose it's racist to ask that to. Oh and it was the republican party that pushed the civil rights movement, not the democrats.



You mean all those Southern Democrats that fled the party when Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act that Kennedy introduced? Btw, the most vocal opponent of the law was Barry Goldwater, the spiritual father of modern republicans.

37%

As opposed to 38% for whites, and 17% for hispanics.

No, because he's running for president and I'd like to know how he got where he is. How are those communities he organized doing? What exactly is a community organizer? Who were on the boards of these community organize groups? These are questions that need to be answered. Aren't you curious in the least?


Whats funny is that this is public information easily obtainable from a number of legitimate sources through a variety of means.

Self-induced ignorance does not imply a cover-up or conspiracy theory. Are you trying to say that this information is unattainable? Why don't you ask the same questions about McCain, is there a difference?

Most welfare recipients are more than capable of working and caring for themselves and their family.

Which is why the majority of them only receive assistance for two years or less. 53% in fact. 80% receive assistance for less than 5 years.

The major underlying factors producing child poverty in the United States are welfare dependence and single parenthood.


So, according to you, if we abolished welfare, prohibited sex outside marriage, and made divorce illegal, poverty would disappear?

Is it really that simple in Knoxyland?

Your rightwing little link:

here

Quote:
A 10 percent increase in time on welfare leads to a 6.9 percentage point increase in a child's time in poverty.


So, in other words, people who are on welfare for long periods of time, are more likely to be poor for longer period of time. That's not exactly causal.

Quote:
A 10 percent increase in time residing in the South increases a child's time in poverty, on average, by 0.5 percentage points.


OMG! Eliminate the South!

Quote:
Residing in a rural area in the last year of the analysis increases poverty 2.1 percentage points.


Rural America!

Living in Poor rural southern areas makes you poor! Stop the presses!
