"all you people are binded by this....who cares that he is black, its what his plans for the future of the states are!! He wants to take out capitalism and bring in socialism. he wants to raise taxes on companies And the states already are the second highest in the world!!! thats only going to drive more companies out of the country and leaving more people unemployed pushing the financial crises further down. Bill gate has already moved more than half his money and company to Canada! he is a smooth talker and thats it. he says what you want to hear but does different. Have you ever looked at his voting record in the senate? that should tell you the type of person he really is! you are all uninformed people that see 1 thing and go after it. I will never call him President Barack Hussein Obama! WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN NAME IS that!!!!! Fucking pathetic ass country to vote such a threat to society into office. you all are gonna regret it worse that bush. and then what are you gonna do when the states is in such a huge depression. ask for that change? well that is the change! Good by american dream good by united states of america! come January, good morning United Socialized States of America.

Like Spain, we have just capitulated to the extreme Islamists and the George Soros socialists. The apathetic, and greedy self-interest voter, has made his/her choice. The voter has chosen; European style socialism over the capitalist free market system, Islam over Christianity, bondage over liberty, and punishment of achievement over self reliance. President Bush took the War on Terror to the enemy and his soil; Obama will capitulate and bring the war to our soil, and we will defend our borders with a smaller military. Instead of learning the lessons of other failed socialistic governments, sadly we have decided to join them.
Next time, if there is one, get some facts first before voting for the "black man" to make history. have a real reason to vote...."
I wish I could say that I found this on some random website, from some anonymous person -- perhaps in it for lulz.
But no, this came from facebook -- from someone who I knew, albiet in middle school. Nevertheless, she and I were friends; we went to summer camp together one summer and both rode horses.
The fact that she's someone I can put a face to is irrelevant to her post above, but for me it's consequential because there's now a face on the ugliness spewing forth from some parts of the media and the country about Obama. Though he is a moderate candidate, he seems to incite extreme reactions in people. Both extremely positive, and extremely negative. For the youth vote, at least, this broke down to about 66% for Obama and 32% for McCain. This was my first brush with the even smaller group -- the "Insane Racist" contingency.
Gillian, the author of the post above, is espousing that we should be looking at Obama for his policy. True. However, the flip side of her argument is that we all voted for Obama because he's black. That's actually appallingly creative, an argument I at least haven't seen before (and would not like to encounter in the future).
There are so many ugly parts of Gillian's post that I want to discuss. Weekend fun!!
On a brighter note:

You were not just whistling Dixie when you mentioned this post you discovered. My toes were curling. I was becoming so livid, and that is not just because I am in Barack's corner (which of course I am) but that some one is so flagrantly ignorant. She mentions how un-American his name is? What is a name other than what we call ourselves? Does that mean the woman at the dog park named Olga is a nazi? Since when did a name or a religion EVER represent what makes an American? I'm an athiest for goodness sake. I for one find it hard to appreciate being "American" when there are people like this who are more than happy to continue to categorize people into nothing more than "US and THEM."
I was not "blinded" by the fact that Barack is of colour, I was taken in by the message, the hope, the idea of changing the road in which we are currently on. And if that means taxing the 5% of America that is wealthy enough to afford it, I am more than happy to drink the Kool Aid.
