Racist Democrats could sink Barack Obama’s chances for the Presidency. A Yahoo Survey partnering with AP discloses that the Democrats are one of Obama’s biggest problems. Will the MSM pick up on this?
From Politico:
In a report sure to spark a national conversation on race, an AP-Yahoo News study reported Saturday that white prejudice could be a significant enough factor to undermine Barack Obama’s bid to be the first black president of the United States.
The AP-Yahoo study concluded that white Democratic racism may cause 2.5 percent of voters to “turn away from Obama because of his race,” roughly the margin of George W. Bush’s victory over John F. Kerry in 2004.
The AP-Yahoo study found that one-third of white Democrats cited a negative adjective when describing blacks and, of those, just 58 percent said they planned to back Obama. For example, AP reported that more than a quarter of white Democrats agreed that “if blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites.” Four in ten white independents agreed, while a quarter described blacks as “violent.”

I don’t believe one can get meaningful results on this type of issue. The results would have been significantly different, namely more favorable to Obama, months ago, before people discover his serious inadequacies. Look at what foreigners, who don’t know Obama, think of him.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
The McCainiacs now down to hoping for flat-out racism to propel their pathetic candidate into office.
Lovely. But hardly surprising, and PS: It won’t work. If the Republicans had an even half-way acceptable ticket maybe it would, but let’s face it, most racists joined up with the GOP after the Civil Rights legislation in the 1960’s, any effect they have will be compensated for by all the young voters Obama is motivating. Oh and they WILL show up, so if you’re hoping they’ll stay home, good luck. They’re fired up. Believe it.

Katie:
With all due respect, I think you proved the contrary of what you wanted to prove.
There is at least 20% of Obama’s supporters who are racist. There is no reason why a higher percentage of Obama’s supporters than Clinton’s or McCain’s should be immune to this American illness.
But there are laws to ensure equal treatment, and racist laws, if any, could easily be jettisoned.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Sorry Moonbats, democrats are defecting at about a 17-19% rate in most national polls. I would guess most of them are anti-radical Marxist than just racist. You can’t win with more than 10% of democrats voting for McCain. Couple that with Republicans making great gains amongst women and there is NO WAY Øbama can win this election. Prepare yourself.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
these articles pointing out how racist voters might be given this study are ignoring the fact that the number one issue why voters may not vote for obama is based on COMPETENCY (or lack) of the candidate. disingenuous.
September 20th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
They are already making excuses for the fact that America will not elect a socialist.
September 20th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Excuses. Excuses. Blame the electorate. Yeah. That’s right.
After Dean and Brazile selected their empty suit, pushed him across the finish line, and did everything in their power to take down the Clinton Dems… now we are supposed to vote for Obama out of “white guilt.”
No deal!
I remember the primary season soooo well. How Plouffe said “we won’t need Ohio.” Ok, David, then we won’t give you Ohio. K?
I remember how “Hillary’s voters will vote for me, but mine won’t vote for her.” Really, Barack? How about you try to make us?
I remember Dean’s “redrawing the map.” The fifty state strategy. All the BS that was done to make the Clinton Dems seem unnecessary…… inconsequential.
Hey DNC… if the Clinton Dems are so damned inconsequential…. let’s see you win this without us!
TTFN. See you in 2012. When, maybe… just maybe… you will give us a serious candidate to vote for at the top of the ticket.
September 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
More to the point, where is the outrage among “normal” citizens, that Obama gets 80-90% of black voter’s votes. Is it not “completely” racist, when a person votes for the nominee purely because of his color?
September 20th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
RE: Katie’s declaration: “. . .but let’s face it, most racists joined up with the GOP after the Civil Rights legislation in the 1960’s.”
Now there’s an informed, considerate, factual statement, the kind that Obama and his devotees and shills in the wrongly named MSM would make.
It’s the kind of statement that requires simply the cognitive skills to be able to use a keyboard and spout the party line.
It’s also the kind of statement that ignores that the impact of the Dixiecrats and that, were it not for the Republicans, we might not have a Civil Rights Act.
The Democrats filibustered the act for almost 60 days. Leading such opposition was Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), who personally spoke 14 straights hours against the bill. BTW: Dems still call Byrd, still in the Senate, “the conscience of the Senate.”
Some conscience, huh, Katie?
But, alas, her remarks consume more precious natural resources.
And yet another troll has made yet one more assertion that the Republicans, as well as conservatives, are the racists.
One that neither she or her idol can support.
September 20th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I’m wondering if someone could do a study of Republican haters.
How many people actually believe Republicans are evil. Everything is Bush’s fault. The definition of patriotism involves criticizing, blaming your country or paying taxes. That think people who see aborting an unborn child as wrong, just hate women and want to control their bodies. That anyone who believes in God is just stupid.
I don’t know what label such people deserve but I think they’ve got the true racists outnumbered.
September 20th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
how ridculous…95ù of blackx vote obama …. because he is black. Waht if the white vote would do the same? And they have very (w)right to do so regarding obama’s extreme left and ant-american past.
It’s completly legitime to say that’ you won’t vote obama because he sat in a racist anti-white church for 20 years.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Byrd is a REFORMED racist. He was a racist as a young man and now has a career of voting for civil rights.
So he is not really an example of a “Democratic racist,” is he. Just the usual dumbass kneejerk reaction.
Are you telling me that members of the KKK voted for Gore, Kerry, or Byrd for that matter? Come on stuck on stupids, get real.
I absolutely HATE Republicans. Absolutely because I have seen them destroy this country that I love. In 1850 or 1950 I probably would have BEEN a Republican but that party has long since been taken over by fascists and just like Hitler they use religion to convince stupid people to vote to rob themselves blind.
As for Blacks voting for Obama, most were voting for Hillary if you recall. And no they don’t vote for the party of Trent Lott, DUH!!
I can’t believe anybody could consider Dubya and old man McLame “competent.” Damn!! I wouldn’t hire them to run a hotdog stand, truly, two of the most clueless idiots in American political history.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Nutso Judge, Videos: Covers Many Topics, MIA/KIA.
Oh my goodness. Have I got a full plate or what? I have some articles from Stop The ACLU along with some videos. I also have several videos from Blackfive and PascoGOP. What to do? Should I take up the space on my site? Should I offer the link? Decisions, decisions…
PS. Hey there! Great post. How could they think otherwise when they have members of the KKK in their party?
I posted my trackback instead of just doing it because I wanted to let you know I posted the links for several of your YouTube pieces.

The Marxist/Socialists who call themselves Democrats have tried and will try anything to win this election. The gave comfort to the enemy and undermined our troops to insure a defeat in Iraq so they could use that as a stepping stone to win this election. But since they general they caled Betraus turned Iraq in to Victory, they went to plan “B”. Up till the democrats took control of both houses, the economy was growing, jobs were being created, the stock market was setting new records, and gas was $2.16 a gallon. They immediately, without consideration or caring how it would hurt the American people, put into effecdt plan “b” by declaring they would raise taxes, they would not allow any method to produce our energy but the unreliable use of a food crop, wind and solar, They would pass restrictive regulations which would discourage investment and expansion, and behind the scenes get their ultra rich cronies (Soros for one) to minipulate the stock market and futures market to tank the economy. The president has very little control on the economy or energy prices. Since 2007 the economy has slowed, jobs have been lost, the stock market tanked, and gas is $4.00 a gallon. The only thing that happend to cause this change was democrats took over both houses. America can’t stand any more of the Democrats CHANGE.
For a decade Europe ran towards Socialism. They found it didn’t work, has never worked, and are now running away from Socialism. With Obama America seems to be running toward a proven losing idealogy, If Obama is elected, welcome to the United Socialist States of America.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Socialists? Excuse me? Have you noticed that BushCo has robbed us blind?
How can you idiots go on with this “free market” idea with the current bailouts and debts, do you think you aren’t going to have to pay for all that? DUH!!
September 20th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
The bailouts i don’t like either, but would rather see that than see the US go into the worst depression ever…(as an old Navy Intelligence Guy Dealing with Socialists from 1958-1967) I believe the Marxist/Socialists who have hijacked the Democrat party want. And they are looking ahead to the time when the energy crisis and shortage of food causes riots to the point they will need Obama’s National Civilian Security Force, as Obama said would be as well trained, well equipped, and well trained as our military, to restore order, and a police state will be created.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
You are completely blind to the fact that just like Iraq, BushCo WANTED this result. It’s more Shock Doctrine. The US would have NEVER staged an occupation like we had in Iraq, they would NEVER pay one TRILLION dollars for that fiasco. They were told they would DIE IF THEY DIDN’T. WHICH WAS BULLCRAP.
Meanwhile where did the trillion dollars go? To BushCo cronies, Halliburton, Blackwater et al. Now OOOOPS we don’t have any more taxpayer money to do things FOR THE TAX PAYERS! SORRY! Hello, this is an old fascist ploy.
FDR saved capitalism when the fascists like Bush’s granddaddy ravaged in the first time, and maybe Obama can do it again but they may have succeeded. They may have set up the military banana republic of their dreams.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
keep drinking the coolaid..but the MSM polished Obama, is like a Rolls Royce body (non Americian product) with a Yugo (marxist/socialist) engine and drive train. He may sputter and um uuh uh i say uh umm uh a few more miles down the road. But the same old models like Gore, Kerry, Dean and Edwards suffered meltdowns, so will Obama.
September 20th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Of course ap-yahoo, both pro-obama “news” orgs., would put out a poll like this. Did they also do the opposite and find out how many blacks were not voting for McCain because of his skin color. This was a huge joke all along when I first read the exit polls from the SC primary….they asked blacks, was the fact that BO is half black a part of your decision… a high number said…no. NO??? Get real! The reason many are not voting for Barack has nothing to do with the color of his skin…the man is very, very inexperienced!
September 20th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Per usual of Obama devotees and apologists, Katie offers words that engage and draw others to her POV: “idiots,” “absolutely HATES Republicans.” “Dumbass knee jerk reaction.”
She exemplifies not just her candidate but the breakdown of civil discourse in our country.
Her candidate must be proud to have such supporters. But, then, she’s now just practicing the “get in their faces and argue with them” marching orders he issued just the other day.
You wonder: Why’s that burr in her saddle that produces such venom? And how is that she has THE answer for everything?
You know, maybe we who object to the empty suit from Illinois really are stupid. We must be blinded to the goodness and unity and new politics and “Yes, we can!” change that he — and Katie — represent.
Or maybe we just recognize him for what he is.
And understand that devotees and apologists for him, such as Katie, simply are ventilating hatred from dark hearts that appears to have been festering for a long time. From hearts and souls that cannot fathom that they have hitched themselves to the loser of the upcoming general election.
But, then, we’ll have to deal with Obama’s devotees acting out their anger.
Just a guess, but given how indecorous they seem to be, things could get ugly, though I hope not.
September 20th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Civil discourse, my ass. You think BushCo and their evil brain had anything to do with that?? They are the ones that made me HATE Republicans, actually opened my eyes to the fact that they are totally hateful.
I wouldn’t worry about Obama’s people “acting out anger.” Remember the hideous GOP mobs (comprised mostly of operatives) in FL demanding that the vote not be counted??
Not to mention all the “guns and ammo” talk going on on Free Republic in case the the GOP can’t steal another one and “Barry” wins. Those people should be reported to FBI. They are NUTS.
September 20th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
For CKA
Most of us in the red states are self reliant. Responsible for taking care of our selves, and are mentally mature enough that we don’t need a Nanny to take care of us. Those that do want a Nanny..can have one but i don’t want to pay for their “child support”.
Click on my name CKA and visit my site.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
SELF RELIANT???????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah self-reliant like Sarah Palin’s state, WHAT?? They get back $1.84 for every dollar paid in federal taxes. You know what we in CA get back? 81 CENTS! Alaska is a welfare state just like the VAST MAJORITY OF RED STATES. Look it up, it’s true — the ones that vote for BushCo have a backward economy and we have to pay for it.
As for a Nanny it is you people who try to shove your version of “God” (which, it’s a pretty sick version of God, something like a mean alcoholic dad) on everyone, stick your nose into our gyno’s office, marriages and everything else.
Like I say, I find this site VERY aptly named.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Calm down Katie..go see your therapist. Or maybe you are haunted by the same night mare that’s making Obama look haggard lately…Obama’s nightmare,,,he’s riding a jackass (symbol of the democrat party) chased by a ferocious pitbull with lipstick.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Shpuldnt we expect this from the democratic populus?
I mean, look at what their leaders having been saying all along:
There are white n*ggers. I’ve seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.” — Former Klansman and Current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the “conscience of the Senate” in March of 2001
The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.” — Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, City College audience in New York
You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”
-Senator Joe Biden
Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in Saint Louis.”
-Senator Hillary Clinton
You’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”
– Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)
“Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey’s cars?”
– Left-wing radio host Neil Rogers
September 21st, 2008 at 1:15 am
If Sarah wants to be so “self-reliant” and Alaska can “build things itself…” then how about she gives the rest of us back the money for the Bridge to Nowhere and the Road That Goes To The Unbuilt Bridge To Nowhere.
Oh and cancel all the earmarks Alaska asked for please.
What a ridiculous hypocrite she is….such a good Republican!
September 21st, 2008 at 11:56 am
“Civil discourse, my ass.”
Thanks, Katie, for explaining the left so succinctly.
September 21st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
The stuck on stupids are like, here BushCo, here’s another blank check! $700 BILLION, but it’s OK because the Republicans will NEVER raise taxes, um DUH!!! Debt IS taxes….
Can I ask you geniuses exactly HOW you expect all these BushCo bills are going to be paid if not by taxpayer money?
So we have to pay for “companies that are too big to fail.” I see. BUT we don’t OWN that company, that’s BAD! That’s SOCIALIST. We just PAY THEIR BILLS blank check style.
God you people are like “Rob me BushCo, no rob me AGAIN. Do you take credit cards? Here, CHARGE MY ROBBERY!”
IMO, priavate companies that are “too big to fail” without ring my money to save them are too big to exist. But…but…regulation is BAD!
September 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Hey Katie,
The IRS takes voluntary Tax donations, surprisingly there not tax dedutable but be our guest. BTW you might want to check out a book on Economics 101. Hihger taxes are always bad for the economy. Thing really started downhill when Congress started putting off making the tax cuts from 2001 preminate. We haven’t had any since then because of Democrates.
But why bother telling you this your paid to spew rhetoric. How do you like getting paid minimum wage BTW? Dems were never very generous.
September 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
“Higher taxes are always bad” HELLO TAXES PAY FOR THINGS. I can see you’re buying into the Free Lunch GOP Philosophy, let’s get our war on, let’s have another giant corporate buyout,
it will be FREE!
It will never cost us anything. Taxes are bad and debt is good! We’ll just borrow more money from CHINA! That’s GOOD for the economy!
God do you people run your household budgets like that? I went to Europe this summer and was like the poor relation. The dollar was like toilet paper. Thanks, Republicans!!
September 21st, 2008 at 8:41 pm
More lies being exposed from Obama. this time on Social Security:
Obama’s Social Security Whopper
He tells Social Security recipients their money would now be in the stock market under McCain’s plan. False.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/160179
What a shame that Obam must lie and use scare tactics against out elderly in society. Axelrod must not have factchecked Obamas speech.
September 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
Yeah we should have let BushCo Enronize social security! Because they wanted to get their grubby paws on it from the getgo.
I remember Free Republic staged some kind of “we want private accounts” rally and about 20 people showed up, LOL, they had the porta-potties and everything!
Hell ya keep those robber barons away from Social Security or they’ll Arbusto it like they do everything else!
September 22nd, 2008 at 9:13 am
Republicans WANT to bankrupt Social Security. In fact they WANTED to bankrupt the US and then be like, OOOOOPS no more social services, sorry we can’t afford it!
Since you people don’t take a cotton to no fancy book learnin’….I wish I could put you in a time machine and send you back to the US before Social Security, unemployment insurance, public utilities, unions and other “commie” ideas you hate so much THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT BUILT THE MIDDLE CLASS IN THE UNITED STATES!
Granddaddy Bush btw was a fascist sympathizer who wanted to stage a coup with other corporate guys and take FDR out, wouldn’t he be so proud of sonny boy for destroying this country like he has? Now we all can be corporate slaves. Just pay taxes to bail out our corporate masters. GREAT! PRIVATIZE PROFIT AND SOCIALIZE RISK FOR THE RICH! THANKS REPUBLICANS!
