OT: The Barack Obama Transcript

[nolippin]

Damn...why don't all four of you...er, ladies...take this obviously personal BS to IM and spare the rest of us the pettiness.

[Indyjoe]

What do you find racial slur's alright .. just not criticism's towards reading comprehension?

You can't be serious. Why keep stirring?

..my point in directing you to reread was because I had said what I wanted to already and you wanted to continue the discussion. Then Tree and Deb come in to continue to stir the pot and Deb brings up other stuff just to get personal so why don't you ask yourselves that question.
But yes racial slurs was the last topic of conversation so what..do you want to get back to it now? I'm willing.

Tree has been discussing politics on this board all along.
Deb commented and explained where she is coming from.

When it's on a public message board people will post their thoughts on the topic and other things.

Get back to what - you said what you thought, I said what I thought. But that last insinuation about Deb... Not cool.

Deb and Tree are both very nice people.

I disagreed with you. I wasn't setting out to piss you off. I just wanted people to be careful labeling someone. That label is a very serious one in my opinion.

Let's go back to the naked lady threads and cool stuff like that!!

J/K

Edit - Not suggesting you start such topics, just that there have been such other "important" things to talk about around here like that.

Excuse me but when the pettiness is directed at me then I have every right to comment on it.

Then quit dishing it out if you can't take it. He's right this wasn't the place for this, I just get frustrated with your holier-than-thou attitude to some posters here and should have counted to 10 before posting, sorry it's the Taurus in me. Nolippin is right and sorry for my part in it.

1.) Deb did not address the topic at all.
2.) Yep, it is a public message board so I posted my thoughts on the subject and you posted yours...ok
3.) What insinuation? I think what I wrote was clear.
4.) Where did I say they are not nice people? I have never meant them so how do I know what kind of people they are or not, really...but I have always assumed they are nice. I think Deb is very nice to people she likes...she just doesn't happen to like me and I am a very nice person as well...so what's your point?
5.) Some just can't take any criticism on this board at all and if you do or you criticize something one of their friends say then they get bent in a hurry without taking time to consider the validity of your argument and your reasoning in making one..they read with bias..
6.) I am not in the least bit "pissed off". ha!
7.) Ok...so let's not label Obama with stereotyping and attacking him based on his skin color or appearance but on his actions or lack of and his platform....the substance not the surface.

Have a good night Blueskies.

I don't start stuff with you. If you want to come in slinging crap you should know by now that I'll fling it right back at cha! . You don't like it when someone flings it back ...thats what's frustrating. Although I usually do back off first and let things go by without responding further I wasn't going to this time. These personal feelings you have toward's me...well...it's silly and I wish you would take it to pm and we could discuss it....shoot..I'll even pm you my cell number ..then maybe you could judge me better and find I am not a "holier then thou type" at all, but just someone who states their opinion on posts as I come to them occasionally regardless of who's post it is....I may be just as opinionated on this board as everyone else is but I don't think that everyone has to accept what I say and I think they certainly have the right to disagree...so if you would like to talk to me then cool..one way or another we could come to an understanding....you'll either like me or not..but at least we could end up agreeing to disagree if nothing else.

[Blueskies]

Have a good night Blueskies.

You have a great night as well! Peace out!

was it the rnc or some rep hack?

As to the policy issue, why was it considered racist when someone placed a picture of Obama on a box of waffles, to illustrate has "waffling" on issues?

Because it openly was.
Not only was Obama drawn with over-exagerated minstrel features, the back of the box featured a pic of him in a turban, and was written in rap lyrics.
Let me guess, the GOP's mailing featuring Obama surrounded by a bucket of fried chicken and watermelon should also be considered valid political commentary?
