Re: Barack Obama 2012 Containment Thread

I'm going to pretend I'm a moderator and consider these bannable offenses:

- Discussion around whether or not Obama is a natural born US citizen
- Discussion around whether or not non-supporters are inherently racists

Re: Barack Obama 2012 Containment Thread

If someone were to say something like "a vote for Obama is vote for murdering Muslim children." Would that be ok?

3000+ innocent murdered in Pakistan alone... but will that be enough to secure re-election?

I made my decision to vote against Obama solely on political views. However, seeing him win was even more painful because he was African-American. Not because I have something against his race (or any race for that matter), but because I thought many African-Americans would identify with him as "their leader" and thus become democrats even long after he is gone. As a republican you can see where I am going with this.

I don't think you can call this racist, especially since I was pulling for Herman Cain, who is also African-American, before he pulled out (of the running of office and not one of the 12 women who accused him of affairs and ****).

Re: Barack Obama 2012 Containment Thread

You're worried about a black man winning because other blacks would vote for him (even though the vast majority already vote Democratic)? Let's just assume it's racist even though you found your black friend Cain.

Cool, we can boil the whole 2012 election in this Politics forum down to two threads:

The Obama thread

The GOP candidate thread

Yo, murder is not the only bad thing you can do to a person.

You can ruin their lives economically.

Obama has done that to literally millions of Americans.

Oh man, this thread is going to be awesome.

Boa doing his best to follow the wild hyperbole rule. Throwing in the 'literally' was a very nice touch.
