Anyone else hearing the 'white guilt' meme?
I've been hearing it over and over on other message boards.

That and the "Why are people telling me I'm racist if I don't vote for Obama?"

I keep asking who is telling you that, and apparently it's the Democrats and the media.

Anyone else hearing this shit?

Have you asked them to provide their source? Not just Democrats and the big, bad librul media?

19. Good question.
I've been in so many pissing contests with wingnuts this past week that "what is your source?" has become second nature.

Time to step away from da computa'...

10. Make them drill down to their sources. They won't have any.
This is the same "reverse racism" bullshit that these wingnuts always put out.

13. Maybe the response should be
"No, you misunderstood. You're a sadist if you don't vote for Obama."

I'm almost getting to the point where I hate republicans.

17. It is a right wing meme that's been around for a whle now.
Right about the same time as "limousine liberals' and 'elitists'.

22. Some Less-Than-Enlightened
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 08:29 PM by Crisco
Obama supporters seem to believe that there are racists out there who would have no problem voting for someone with Obama's qualifications if he were white. I think it's a possibility but don't get hung up on it, and anyway, there's not much I can do about it.
