Look for the Union Labeling
What’s it, day two of the convention? Isn’t it about time for a charge of racism? Oh here it is, right on time:
Racial prejudice is being cited among senior union leaders to explain Sen. Barack Obama’s difficulty in winning over support from white rank-and-file members.
…
Karen Ackerman, political director for the AFL-CIO, acknowledged that Obama’s race is an important factor for some union members.
“This race is very complicated because there is an African-American candidate for president,” said Ackerman. “We feel there is a racial component for some union members, but we’re confident we can overcome that.”
…
“I think there’s more resistance than people want to admit,” said Edward Finkelstein, publisher of the Labor Tribune, a weekly publication distributed in about 80,000 union households in St. Louis and southern Illinois. “It’s ingrained that voting for a black is anathema to everything in their core.”
Remember, Republicans will vote against Barack Obama because he’s a wild-eyed communist. Democrats have no such excuse; they love communists. So the only reason a Democrat could vote against Barack Obama is… come on, you know this one. Don’t you remember the primaries? Pretty much every supporter of Hillary Clinton was tarred by this brush. You working stiffs who don’t support Barack Obama are dragging your lunch buckets as well as your knuckles.
You are a bunch of inbred, mouth-breathing, red-necked bigots—and the Democratic Party which calls you so is counting on your vote.

HA! So now whites, along with Jews, are stupid and crazy but fully expected to fall in line behind the Dali Bama. Even when I was liberal, I couldn’t muster this amount of ignorance. Perhaps that’s why I’m not mentally ill anymore.
