Greetings from Ocracoke!! I’m amused to read that Obama volunteers have registered 700 new black voters in Macon, Georgia and that our cracker congressman can’t even show any appreciation lest he alienate his cracker base.
At the least, Obama’s voter drive will help Democratic candidates down the ballot, now and in the future. And [Steve] Hildebrand [Obama’s Deputy Campaign Manager] dismissed the prospect of a white counterreaction to an increase in black voters.
But Rep. Jim Marshall, a conservative Democrat whose district includes Macon, appears less confident. He has declined to endorse Obama, and his chief of staff, John Kirincich, was skittish about discussing the benefits that the candidate’s push to turn out more black voters would hold for Marshall, who barely won reelection in 2006 and faces another challenge.
Marshall “is not really interested in commenting on the presidential race. It’s not his ballgame,” Kirincich said. Pressed, he said: “We will accept more people voting for him from [wherever] they come.”
Glad to hear he will accept black votes. He won’t throw them back in the water. That’s great. Anytime someone tells you that racism is done and gone in this country, remember the spectacle of a white Georgian Democratic politician being afraid to admit that he needs black voters to win elections.
What do you expect? Jim Marshall is a Bush Dog who voted with Mr. 23% to cut S-CHIP.
He’s a DINO. And a cracker. The guy probably has a robe, hood, and noose in his closet at home.
What do I expect?
How about this?
who’s challenging Jimmy Crackers? I’d like to sling that person a few ducats.
Vulnerable Republicans decide to skip GOP convention
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
Well, it’s beginning to look like the seeds which which Limbaugh, Savage, Beck, Dobson, Falwell and all their kind have sown for the last generation or more might have finally borne fruit. The accumulation of jokes about“librul hunting licenses” and “keeping a few liberals alive as museum exhibits” has finally come to a head.
Church shooting press conference: shooter disliked “liberal movement”
Well I guess we know now what he meant.
But hey, they were just joking about all that, ya’ know. C’mon…..it was just a joke, man! You liberals just have no fucking sense of humor.
Welcome to North Carolina.
And yes, racism is not dead either in the South or anywhere else in the country. It’s just that in some places the folks who promote racism feel more open talking about it. No doubt there are a lot of white folks who are going to vote for Obama but are not willing to tell their loudmouth Fox-News breathing neighbors.
IMO, Marshall is just being a wimp for not calling on the folks who have gotten over it to stand up and show the dingbats that they are in the minority of opinion. Of course, cowardice has been a key mark of this Democratic Congress regardless of what part of the country you are talking about.
