Oh, those things are good. MMmmmmmm.
 
Calling you out on (what he in good faith believes to be) a factually untrue statement is not "grade school BS." It's the essence of debate.


Whatever......It's getting late & I'm done for the night. :2wave:
 
OK, i guess this belief is his version of my country right or wrong. e.g. my argument right or wrong, I believe it."
 
I agree.



Double standard anyone? Either it's OK or it's not OK.

I do not like it when it is used period. But just saying it is not the same and I can understand the reason as to WHY some black folks use the term as a friendly one towards each other. Understand now? :roll:

What a silly & childish response. What you are saying is that my BELIEF is not really what I believe??....I am lying about believing it??? (That's what you are saying)

On what evidence do you both argue that I do not believe what I have said??
(The only argument you can still muster is a demand that I PROVE my beleif to you, which is a whole other topic........& you guys know it!)


Read the topic title gain. The first three words are......Do You BELIEVE......... (Check & mate~!)

I say YES to the question. Most opposition to Obama is racially based, & yes...I truly believe that.

Most Americans are not racists, & more voters voted for Obama then voted for McCain.
The question is aimed at the opposition to Obama & yes, I feel that tghe core of it is indeed race based. Oh, the far right racists will find 10 million reasons they will CLAIM why they don't like Obama: His economic policies, his use of diplomcy, his HC reform ideas...etc

These, IMO are just dodges & as Senator DeMint honestly said, the right wants to "Break" Obama & I believe it is mainly racists thinking.


Is it possible to not be a racist & dislike Obama's policies? ...Of course!

Do I think that is most often the case with anti Obama people? Not on your life. I think it is mainly racist.


Oh my LORD!


Clearly Obama is SOOOOO great that the only way someone could dislike him is because they are an evil evil racist.


Clearly, I am starting to understand why some sarcastically call him "The Messiah".

:roll:

Off topic.

The topic is someone's belief & requires no proof as to whether that belief is factually true or not.

Not likely since, prior to Obama, the black community never had anyone but a white man to vote for, but of course some may well have. Most???? I doubt it.

Yeah! Before Obama black people had nothing but a cracker ass cracker to vote for.

**** them crackers.


You just made voting blacks out to look like the most racist people in the country.
 
Re: Do you believe that opposition to Obaema is mostly based on his rac

<Let me try to clarify my position here:

The question is Do you believe that opposition to Obama is mostly based on his race?

To which I answer yes. The majority of opposition may well not be racist but its BASIS, by that I mean the right wing leaders (Rush Limbaugh, etc) who are leading the opposition, I believe are doing so mainly due to his race.
Now, the anti-Obama rhetoric they spew out may be based on arguments against specific policies, but that is just a dodge. Many people may hear these lies & accept them as true & oppose Obama based on Limbaugh's (as an example) lies.

These people may not be racists....just stupid!;)

But the answer to the question remains the same: Most opposition is BASED (by the leaders themselves) on racism.


So now you claim who leads my opinions since Ive been folded into your little box of "Obama haters"???

Taking a radical TV personality and painting all those who disagree with Obama to be that TV personality's exact duplicate has got to be the most ignorant demonstration of judging people I have ever seen.

No, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to use a word that you are supposed to hate to talk friendly to one another.
 
Re: Do you believe that opposition to Obaema is mostly based on his rac

.....How so?.....

Show me where I claimed that please.

I appreciate your integrity (by apologizing) but I think we both have made our views known & this conversation can have no further useful purpose.

Uh, no. :roll: (I'm wearing that thing out on you.)

I didn't say anything about your "belief." My comment was solely about whether or not calling you out on what someone believes to be a lie is "childish" or not.

It is not. It is debate.

(NOTE: I need not agree or disagree with what he said for this to be so.)
 
Re: Do you believe that opposition to Obaema is mostly based on his rac

And yet you have not replied to this...

http://www.debatepolitics.com/polls...-mostly-based-his-race-15.html#post1058196890

Your belief is as substantial as a 9/11 conspiracy theorist or birther. So far you have shown me to be correct.

I said yes because the OP asks about people, not politicians or political parties. MY experience is that a lot of ordinary people ARE against Obama because of race. Nothing he does makes them happy, they are all on or soon will be on medicare, and some of them have paritally disabled grandchildren who NEED a healthcare system to provide thier medical needs. These kids are not likely to ever get jobs.
They already HAVE a system in place for them, but don't seem to be worried about others, even their own offspring....
