      No, don't bring these kids to the White House. Sorry, Ed, but that's just stupid. He's the president, not the principal.

      What Rush Limbaugh said was stupid. But Ed Shultz shouldn't be throwing stones in his glass house because he also has a history of playing the race card.

        Speaking of glass houses....

        Well considering that Obama is getting 90% of the black vote, John Gibson's comments [that an African-American caller is only supporting Obama because "he's a brother"] are pretty accurate.

        So you people honestly believe that Obama would be running for President if he wasn't black?

        Come on people. You know darn well that Oprah would not be endorsing Obama if he was white.

          HotWings is only telling the truth. I dare you to dispute either of the three statements above. Go ahead, try.

            Either of the three? OK, I won't make you double dog dare me.

            (1 & 3) Why do you think that a black person's support of a black candidate could only be because of their shared ethnicity? Is it because, as a white person, you would never vote for a non-white?

            (2) Yes, I believe a person with Obama's abilities would have run for President no matter his race. Don't you?

              Not to mention that Oprah supported Obama over Hilary. Hilary is a woman, wouldn't that be enough to gain Oprah's support? No. Oprah supported Obama because of the issues and Obama's intelligence.

              (1 & 3) Over 90% blacks voted for Obama. That would mean that if 100% of the country was black, Obama would have had 90% of the vote. When was the last time any Presidential candidate had 90% of the vote? The following is a list of "landslide victories" in past U.S. Presidential Elections:

              Popular votes
              Lyndon Johnson's 61.1% to Barry Goldwater's 38.5% in the 1964 presidential election
              Franklin D. Roosevelt's 60.8% to Alf Landon's 36.5% in the 1936 presidential election
              Richard Nixon's 60.7% to George McGovern's 37.5% in the 1972 presidential election
              Warren Harding's 60.3% to James M. Cox's 34.1% in the 1920 presidential election
              Ronald Reagan's 58.8% to Walter Mondale's 40.6% in the 1984 presidential election
              Theodore Roosevelt's 56.4% to Alton B. Parker's 37.6% in the 1904 presidential election

              None of them come even close to >90%

              (#2) What are his abilities before running for President? Seems that he started running for the Presidency as soon as he obtained his Senate seat. That would explain the "no-votes"

                quote]Over 90% blacks voted for Obama.[/quote]

                I think that is in line with black support of Democrats in other recent elections. For the reason, look up southern strategy.

                But that's beside the point. Percentages aside, you and HotWings seem to think that the reason blacks, specifically the Gibson caller and Oprah, support Obama is race. So I'll ask again, as a white person, would you ever vote for a non-white?

        I personally don't care for Shultz. I find him, at times, to be just as offensive as the people he's ranting about. JMO.

      Sorry Ed this has nothing to do with the President. He made a mistake when he played race referee back then and he will be making a mistake if he does it in the future. He should let other fight those battles and carry on doing his job. There's going to be a lot of racism with Obama as President so he's better off avoiding making any comments. If he makes a habit of it that's all he will be doing for a while. He has a better chance at passing Universal Health Care than ending racism in any part of the world.

        Limbaugh: "[I]n Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering"

        I'm sure you make a comment about Drugbaugh along these lines:
        Sorry Drugbaugh this has nothing to do with the President. Drugbaugh made a mistake when he played race referee today and Drugbaugh is continuing to make a mistake by linking this to the prez. Drugbaugh should let other fight those battles and carry on doing his job. There's going to be a lot of racism with Obama as President so Drugbaugh is better off avoiding making any comments. If Drugbaugh makes a habit of it that's all he will be doing for a while. Drugbaugh has a better chance at convincing a male prostitute that;s actually straight than ending racism in any part of the world.

      Do these media "entertainers" really think Obama is concerned with their advice? I’ve tired quickly of "Fast Eddy" and his shtick. Give me Olbermann!
