That's why there are debate forums!
It would be pretty boring if all we ever said to each other was "I agree with you!"
I disagree with your point of view. My view is that, as you say......"Racism is a serious charge and is considered to be one of the most dispicable things a person can be. "......& therefore when a U.S. Congressman rudely shouts at the first black President in this country's history....on the floor of the Congress....when the President is addressing a Joint Session.........To not even consider the possibility that the outburst was racially motivated is wrong. All factors in making this determination should be considered: Mr. Wilson's past remarks, his associations, his voting record...everything.
It is doubtful that a true racist would ever admit such a thing...publicly..... so voters will have to decide for themselves what his motives were & judge him at the polls.
It is undeniable that there is an undercurrent of violence towards President Obama which is being stoked daily by the far right.
Obama is not an American
Obama pals around with terrorists
Obama is a Muslim
Obama is a nazi
Obama is a Communist
Obama is a Socialist
Obama will take your guns away
Obama wants to kill your grandmother
Obama is destroying this nation
These absurd charges, aimed at a freely elected POTUS.... sound like jokes but they are all to real &...considering that:
1.We have the first black President in tbhe history of this nation
2. Racism is not dead in this country
3. Gun & ammo sales are extremely high
I would say than anyone who doesn't recognize/admit that we are siting on a powder keg is either fooling themselves or trying to fool us.
here i agree. wilson made an ass of himself, certainly, but who can say if he is a a racist?
although i think carter is correct in one respect, there IS a feeling among many that an african amercian ought not to be president. that can't be denied.
didn't rush play the song?Why don't you ask the LA Times what they meant?
didn't rush play the song?
and rush played the song. why is that?
yes, why? .....Have you ever heard it? Do you know what it's about?

If you think Rush is racist, then you would have to think Obama is a racist, so as to not look like a raging hypocrite.
this is racist. why do you deny the obvious?Really, cause if you'd listened to it at all, it would be clear that the song parodies Al Sharpton's accusations that Obama isn't "black enough". Which is a pretty racist claim in my mind, that someone of a certain race MUST act in a certain way. So in your mind, mocking racists is racist?
I deny there is an undercurrent of violence.
Let's see your data.If you really believe the left is as prone to violence as the far right, I suggest do some research comparing the Timothy McVeighs & the abortion doctor murderer to any left wing violence. Your position is way off the mark.
probably. i'm not denying that, even as others deny racism on the right.Limbaugh is offensive to many people. He is an obnoxious loud-mouth. I felt the same about the Rev Wright.
Unfortunately, they both represent substantial amounts of people with their rantings.
Its pretty clear that when you make statements such as these, you do so knowing that you cannot support them.this is racist. why do you deny the obvious?

it's pretty freaking clear that you are ignoring the obvious. i supported my claim, and that seems to bother you.Its pretty clear that when you make statements such as these, you do so knowing that you cannot support them.
you do realize that rush has made many racist statements over the years?It's typical attack ignorance is all. The word "negro" was in there, Rush played it, Rush must be racist. But that opinion can only be made by someone who did not hear the song or Rush talk about it. I swear, I have not seen the race card used as much as I've seen it used in conjuncture with Obama.
There's nothing "obvious" in your positions other than you cannot support them.it's pretty freaking clear that you are ignoring the obvious.
Many?you do realize that rush has made many racist statements over the years?
