Hmm, with all due respect, since Canada doesn’t have a history of racism against blacks, didn’t you just nullify your own argument?

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

“Boy” is clearly meant to be a racial perjorative when it’s used by a 49-year-old white male in reference to a 47-year-old black man

So you are a mind-reader now? You know, the illusionist Criss Angel has made an offer one million dollars of his own money to anyone who can do that – you should take him up on it.

History aside, if southern whites don’t want to be thought of as “rubes and a hicks,” then they should make a doubly-conscious effort to not play the part like they’re from central casting.

As ahould big-city folk make an effort not to be condescending and elitist, when they talk about religious and/or gun-owning people in small towns (in PA or otherwise).

For Obama it is going to be the national security card, big time (the nuclear 3am call). Inexperience/unable to make tough decisions---big time.

That does not even touch the patriotism card (flag pin, KKKAmerica etc.) They won't care about the flak because as someone pointed out, all the time the media are playing the tape and replaying it, the real message being sent is that BO is incompetent to be CIC. On Hillary, the big play is to remind everyone of "what Bill Did with Monica in the WH" and omg he might do something like that again!
