So You Think John McBush can’t win in November

What a challenge for Karl Rove. What will Karl do? If you’ve been paying attention you would have noticed he has already started. On False News channel he said that Obama lost WV because of the KKK and racism. Racism, the key to four more years of McCain/Bush fascism.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1C4gG6rYg8&eurl=http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=385&topic_id=131881

I don’t know who’s idea the Curious George tee shirt was, but I wouldn’t be surprised if KKKarl had something to do with it.

I think Karl will continue to drive a wedge between the black and white communities. If there happens to be a race riot somewhere, it would fit right into his plans.

This will be a huge test for both the white and black communities. MLK would try to keep the black community from being baited into doing something rash. I hope Al Sharpton will also. If something does happen, it will be a huge test for the white community. The community that now supports Obama. Will they continue their support or revert to petty prejudices faced with the onslaught of corporate media bias.

I am hoping that those of us that support Obama and the dream for a changed America will not wait too long to yell foul at Rove and those in the corporate media that I believe will fan the flames of racism.

And I am hoping KKKarl will go to jail soon.

3. Here's a GUARANTEE that McCain will win. It's people and shit like this
Edited on Sat May-17-08 11:34 AM by acmavm
who are gonna put another fucking republican in the White House:

<snip>
Hot air to make you think you can not win without her! BUT, you do not need her to win! We will all work our hearts out to offset any loss due to disgruntled Hillary fans.

<snip>

Enjoy your next four years. I don't like Hillary, I can't stand Obama. But what I hate much, much more Obamabots telling everyone they aren't needed, they don't count for anything.

Enjoy folks. You've done this to yourself, the party, and the county.

4. With a lot of help from the corprat media, too!
Enjoy folks. You've done this to yourself, the party, and the country.

They decided whom to promote, which candidates would be our front-runners and we fell for it, hook line and sinker. x(

5. So YOU are going to vote for McCain, then?
Why are you speaking to Democrats as if we are the 'other'?

7. Some of you are the 'other'. Democrats allow for choice and for all sides
to be heard. We have primaries and caucauses, we have elections. Everyone gets a say until the appointed time comes to announce the winning party. Until then, EVERYONE still has the right to support the candidate of their choice.

Some here have been demanding that certain parties be handed the keys to the kingdom just because THEY SAY SO for months. Now, if you don't agree with 'em, if you think being a citizen of this country that you still have some right to have a say in this election, they will just call you a racist. Because, by golly, that IS the only reason why a person wouldn't fall down at the feet of the annointed one, because you're a racist son of a bitch who is not a real 'democrat' because MAYBE YOU HAVE THE UNFORGIVEABLE ARROGANCE TO THINK YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO AN OPINION and you aren't smart enough to see that he's gonna walk us across the Potomac barefoot and lead us to the promised land.

That is not democratic. That is not the way our political system works, or is supposed to work. But it seems that the people here that think they should determine what a 'democrat' should think and believe are the very fucking worst when it comes to being able to grasp the fact that maybe others have that very same right as well.

10. I never said you couldn't have an opinion. You're entitled to have
whatever fucked up fantasies you want.

That doesn't change facts whatsoever.

Hillary can't get the nomination. And putting her on the ticket as VP would kill the ticket.

Let her go back to NY and try to live down this campaign. She's got her work cut out for her.

9. I think it unlikely that McCainiac will win.
Obama ran a fantastic campaign against a formidable opponent. He'll run a retooled and equally skilled campaign against a poor candidate. The zeitgueist favors dems. Yep, I thnk we can win this one.

14. I agree that everything points to a Democrat win, but I was fooled in 2000 and again in 2004.
Please do not underestimate the corporatists. They have the resources to do almost anything. I can see a scenario where something like another Rodney King or Cops killing an unarmed black man and maybe a riot breaks out, the cops round up a couple of dozen agitators and put them in detention per the Patriot Act. The republicans and their corporate media would make a race issue of it and the republican base would come out in droves to vote McBush.

Please, please don't underestimate a cornered corporatist.

11. I mostly like Sharpton but he's no MLK.
I live in both communities and this is going to be a test for everyone. Not just whites.
