Pick fly sh!t from pepper all you want, tell as you love Obama because he is black .


Your Avatar is offending millions who put him in power, and guess what racial venom is not the fuel for human destiny.

I am A liberal and proud of it.:p:p:p

Obama is a cool guy and he looks good in my Den the day he got inaugurated,
Walter, here you are putting up a thread that is not asking a question, but rather it states, "Dan Rather the racist", while you are sitting here making sick and ridicule OF Obama by having an Avatar that resembles YOUR HATE.
What? I like to know the name of the Island you live in, so I will not waist my time ruining a good holiday, CR:p:p:p

I grew up in a west coast logging camp. There were no black people anywhere near us. There was however pretty much every European nationality represented and since we in such tight quarters there was no room for animosity. Most called the others by what ever the current racial slur was but as far as I know not much was taken seriously. At least not by us kids so what we read and heard on the news was hard to relate to, as was Dick & Jane's father wearing a suit. All our fathers wore hardhats and most wore caulk boots. All this made race and skin color irrelevant to me and I often have difficulty with the fact that some otherwise normal people are racist.

Hey Walter I hope you like my picture of Obama......:p


Oh well something wrong with my picture, I am sure you can picture this,
The Day Obama was inaugurated I bought the Chicago Tribune on line, and after I got it in the mail had the whole paper opened and framed on a gold color frame with the American flag rapt around the Picture nicely. You would not believe your eyes Walter, a total master piece.

Remember to smile when you meet a Liberal, I smile when I meet a Conservative and I have many con friends. May you find Peace in your cold world..................

Maybe these reports are somewhat biased, Y.J. Either Georgie did active service in the military or he didn't. I would think that's public record.

he never ever did active duty in the military, he was in
the national guard, who never left the good ole u s of a,
and those records were tampered with, (disappeared) to remove the much
less than favourable behavior.

The only proven tampering was Dan Rather's forged military documents. That is why he got canned.

I don't know. How does my avatar fit the following?

rac·ism    /ˈreɪ
sɪz
əm
/ Show Spelled[rey-siz-uh
m] Show IPA
–noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Post the avatar full-sized and let's see. :)Just offhand, though you seem to have a thing against black presidents, especially ones who bow to Japanese PMs and whatnot. Personally, I think bigot is a much more descriptive word than racist, though.

Oh. Well, anything that was made of sugar and gelatin and was shaped like teddy bears, cartoons, kids, animals, etc. were just jujubes to us. Didn't like them as much as jellybeans. Especially the green ones that tasted like spearmint. Yellow jujubes are pretty tasty though.
