i don't think mccain should be judged by statements that he made so long ago when he was middle-aged

Frankly, the both of them are examples of disgusting behavior. I don't think anyone should be defending either of them, even if that defense is saying "that's worse."

Good point - though its hard to classify the "Kill him" remark as NOT racist - it was not literally racist (just inferred). The C*** word obviously is NOT racist.

I don't think anyone was defending either anyway. Both clearly are examples of poor behavior which no sane person could defend.

i have a cultural distrust of white folks and yet i am thankful for gordon brown saving the world from economic collapse

there was a woman wearing one of those t-shirts, isn't this like the n-word and so its ok for one of the kind, in this case a woman, to call another woman this term?

Also, is there any possibility that this/these nuisances were planted?

Not likely... the title of this thread is "Racism in America?" and based on this footage from a Palin rally in Ohio, the answer is most certainly "yes":

While I'm an unforgiving Obama supporter (as well as immts007 fan), the fact that this report was by an Al Jazeera affiliate doesn't do much to further the cause, IMHO.

I think we're better off finding life-long "righties" who are bashing McCain and in Obama's camp, at this point. Just my 2 cents.

I will consider the source but I have no doubt there are people out there that feel this way and is unfortunate I live in the same country as they do. Even if we forget the racism, the religious fundamentalism scares the hell out of me. Where is my Richard Dawkins book?

Dude the fact that it is an Al Jazeera report doesn't change a thing those people are saying.

But, unfortunately... you are probably right. People aren't logical and all it takes is an arabic symbol for something to be dismissed out of hand.

Interesting find, immts007. Source and all, those were too long of interviews to be doctored or cleverly edited.

Is just me, or does the 16 something year old kid with his infant look like Eli from "There Will Be Blood?"

To be honest, they both make me sick. I don't trust either one of them. It's just my personal opinion, but I feel like these two individuals running for the honor of being President of The United States of America are just not worthy of it. McCain is too old and in questionable health, and Obama, just for starters, is an admitted Cocaine user. Are these really the 2 best candidates we could find? This is one election I will not be voting in and I can't wait until it's over.

If you're someone who voted for Bush, and your big argument against Obama's fitness to lead is that he tried cocaine in college, then I have a kettle for you to call black.

I haven't fully supported a candidate in my lifetime, I have yet to see one who I personally believe has the Nations best interest in mind. What kind of message does that send to our children? Son, Dont do drugs! Well why not, President Clinton/Bush/Obama/McCain/Whomever did them, and look what they became!

Again, are these truly the best individuals we have to offer to be the face and leader of our great nation?

your measuring people's greatness of whether they did or didn't do drugs is faulty
