“African American world and white world”? What world are you living in?

Obambi is an ice cream sandwich. The instant the light shines on him his fluff interior melts down from within, any substance drips away and the toasted empty shell remaining cries bigotry before going stale and soggy.

I haven’t watched McLaughlin’s Group in many years. He seemed to have caught the David Gergen Syndrome of saying whatever he thinks will keep a PBS TV camera on him.

I guess that would make Reverend Michael Pfleger a Hostess Snowball?

If true, does this mean Obama would be banned in Canada as is the cookie?

Kinda poor taste considering McCain’s recent bout with skin cancer, Alden.

Perhaps in Jackson’s eyes Obama’s worse than an Oreo; he’s Cookies & Cream. Mrs. Happy Housewife on July 14, 2008 at 9:59 PM

..naw, he's more like a cancerous black lung; he used to be pink on the inside, now that he's running for president he's rapidly evolved into a crusty cantakerous black mess.

You know, maybe the fact that Obama is half white is what goads Jesse Jackson. Perhaps in Jackson’s eyes Obama’s worse than an Oreo; he’s Cookies & Cream.

Right!
I’m so brainwashed by the media Obama-is-Black message that I didn’t even think of that.
He is an Oreo.

Mayor Nagin Says: Oreos aint shit without milk. Nice white milk to complement the dry chocolate cookie. New Orleans will be chocolate but we need creamy white filling…like an oreo!

What’s the problem?

He’s half-white, half-black.

Unlike Michael Steele, who had Oreos thrown at him.

no one better tell him that the Messiah’s ancestors sold Jesses’s into slavery in the first place.

I bet you don’t even know how racist that statement is.

Hmmm…

Could you imagine the hellacious uproar if folks were to actually start throwing Oreos at Barack Obama to make that point?

Oh, yeah — that has already been done to a candidate. And it was considered to be legitimate political commentary when the target was Republican Michael Steele.

Just read what Jesse was purported to say….no one better tell him that the Messiah’s ancestors sold Jesses’s into slavery in the first place. A ratio of two men for one woman sold to the west for agricultural purposes, two women to one man sold to the east for sex slaves and slave soldiers. Part of the Golden Age of Islam.

Making race based attacks? It is stupid that this question is even posed. Jackson said Obama was talking down to black people, that has been one of the main rationalizations for black politicians being called “oreo” or “Uncle Tom”. It is similar to the way Radical Zionists call other Jews “self loathing” or when Mark Levin gives the rest of the Jewish population, in fact the majority, a lecture about their lack of Jewishness when I used to attempt to stomach his show. Self proclaimed superiority on proper racial, ethnic, or religious behavior is how racists and bigots have been manipulating those groups for years.

Man, I like Oreos!

Can’t we call B.O. something else, like a Fig Newton or a Fudge Sandie?

In order to make this clear to commenters, I do not believe that John McLaughlin was making a race-based attack on Obama; I’m using satire for a purpose.

Whatever, Ed. Trying to make an intelligent point out of something said by John McLaughlin is truly a “silk purse out of a sow’s ear” sort of effort, i.e., wasted.

He’s a nitwit.

Typical network political show–plenty of liberal perspective, & one goofy, anti-Semitic quasi-conservative.

Obama is conservative compared to Jackson

Only pretending to be conservative because he’s running for Prez.

Thus far, the punditocracy has failed to notice that the only people obsessing about the issue are on the Left or the media.

repeating yourself there

These posts by Ed are so inane it’s pathetic. Don’t you think that Obama might have said that he was going to face race-based attacks by Republicans to blunt the Republican Party from making race based attacks in the first place? And don’t try to deny that the Republican Party doesn’t greatly benefit from the company of racists.

Gotta agree. There are so many kinks in Barry’s armor and the race crapola is wasted air. Let the left scream and holler about it. The more foolish it makes them look the better.

“Pat Buchanan praised Obama for talking about tough issues without making excuses.”

That was satire too, right?

Well, not making excuses until the next day, anyway.

Obama was wrong. It’s not Republcans but – progressive/liberals/democrats who are attacking him (New Yorker, Hillary campaign) not McCain or any other Republican outlet to date.

jerseyman on July 14, 2008 at 6:54 PM

100% correct yet the media still makes out the Republicans out to be racists without the evidence; the Democrats are the ones who are race-obsessed.
