Comments on: Some Apologies from the Obamamedia Are in Order for Falsely Accusing New Hampshire Primary Voters of Racism http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/19539/some-apologies-from-the-obamamedia-are-in-order-for-falsely-accusing-new-hampshire-primary-voters-of-racism/ Fri, 25 May 2012 15:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Lily http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/19539/some-apologies-from-the-obamamedia-are-in-order-for-falsely-accusing-new-hampshire-primary-voters-of-racism/#comment-1239740 Lily Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:36:01 +0000 http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/?p=19539#comment-1239740 Particularly toward the end of last year's election, I often felt like the Obama campaign and the media were going all out to guilt white voters into voting for Obama by implying the only reason not to vote for him was due to lingering racist attitudes, which I found infuriating. I recall in particular one pro-Obama ad aired in my state (Ohio) in which the narrator cajoled voters to put aside the attitudes of the past and vote for Obama because it was the right thing to do. Not a direct quote, but that was the basic gist of the thing. The ad pretty much implied that the only reason for not voting for Obama was racism. Ridiculous! I consider myself an independent voter, though I usually vote Democrat, and the reason I and most of the people I knew voted McCain is because we were scared to death of Obama's naivete and lack of experience. I suppose that makes me a racist. At least according to his campaign's POV. Whatever!

Or you can always write and let them know you've been caught in the spam filter. There are times I'm glad when they get stuck, especially if it's an emotional topic. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve, if it's a topic I am passionate about. Which is also why there are times I'll just go on and on and other topics I try to avoid. I know sane will be the last word anyone would describe me as. ;)(No comments from the peanut gallery on this) Sometimes posts get eaten by the spam filter, usually they’ll catch them.

The only one they sent was a list of what Obama planned to do in the future and it didn't include anything about mountaintop mining. Another thing. I've never heard anyone advocate halting the mining since it would completely destroy the economy in several states. The solution (approved by the Sierra Club) is to reestablish the ecological system with replanting and dirt removal from the nearby streams and rivers. The emails I have received included a request to write Obama and remind him of campaign promises. BTW, it has been my experience nq does not censure comments simply because they represent a different point of view.

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:18:50 +0000 http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/?p=19539#comment-1168964 I do not live in NH, but I didn't need to in order to know what happened there. I was a Hillary delegate in my state and saw enough of what was going on during the primary to know the whole Bradley effect stories were full of doo doo. The entire primary was--to anyone who participated as a Hillary supporter--clearly rigged by the DNC and the media and the Obama campaign's dirty tactics. I am still very angry about all my "friends" and "family" who thought that their perspective of the primary, watching t.v. for a few minutes a night, listening a little on the radio driving to work, but not really doing anything but following the crowd like sheep was superior to the perspective I got devoting much time and energy to the primary process. I have not been known to hallucinate or take mind altering drigs. I got better grades than they did. I read a lot more than most do. I got good job reviews my entire life. If they need someone to do something for them, they know that I am always there. But suddenly they thought I had become feeble minded and they couldn't believe anything I tried to tell them. It will all come out in the end, and they will excuse their lack of concern or real effort to see things clearly as minor mistakes. I have a hard time now just "getting on" with my life, but I try. The world seems upside down to me since this election. I do not live in NH, but I didn’t need to in order to know what happened there.
