Alma's ranting on race...again

October 10, 2008
CNN's Campbell Brown's at it again. Not very inspiring. She never brings up anything original and now she's back to the race question. Notice how this was not a problem when he was touring the world? They ragged at SHRC voters for being racists and now they are seeing real racists. It's why a percentage of SHRC voter's are still angry. And barry better address the black community soon about the Clintons because he's going to need every last vote...especially with the voter fraud being uncovered.
Alma Campbell Brown:

There are a few things worth considering here. In a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, 37 percent of Americans said that race will be a factor in how they vote. Now, what exactly does that mean?

She doesn't say whether it is a positive or negative factor. Ours is not a scientific poll but more answered that gender than race was a negative factor (13-4% with 80% no factor) and that America is less ready for a woman than a black president (55%-11% with 25% ready for neither.)

Here is what Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama himself said about race as a factor to "60 minutes":

Obama: Are there gonna be people who don't vote for me because I'm black? Of course. There are probably African-Americans who are voting for me because I'm black. Or maybe others who are just inspired by the idea of breaking new ground. And so, I think all that's a wash.

Then why doesn't he speak up when the MSM keeps trotting it out? They're now talking about and "Obama factor" - the opposite of the Bradley effect. Meaning they believe that more people will vote for Obama than poll.

And of course, there is an overtly ugly side to all of this and we've talked about it -- blatant acts of race-baiting on the campaign trail. Surrogates of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain have introduced Obama by using his middle name, Hussein, something the McCain campaign has denounced.

It's only race-baiting when it applies to barry's opponents. This pisses me off. Here's barry's own campaign strategy from his book "Dreams of My Father": "Black politicians less gifted than Harold discovered what white politicians had known for a very long time: that race-baiting could make up for a whole host of limitations."

"A steady attack on the white race, the constant recitation of black people's brutal experience in the country...Yes the whites are responsible for your sorry state, not any inherent flaws in you."

Alma: We've also seen angry reaction by Obama supporters to words they see as code, words that to them have racial undertones, but to others they just don't. There has been an over-reaction by extreme partisans on both sides. Maybe it's unavoidable. But it should not drive the conversation, or dominate the debate.

What does she know about code words? There are racism (here, here, here, and here), sexism (here and under label sexist quote of the day) and ageism (here, here and here) code words. It's just a matter of who's looking and listening and what they want to see and hear.
