Racism is the word that was used so I used the same word. Technically prejudice would be a batter choice of word. Referring to someone as a lying racist muslim is a derogatory prejudice thing to say. It is all about the context. If you believe he is a liar, fine. A racist fine....but when you add Muslim to it......oh and when did Obama become Muslim again?...it becomes a prejudice statement. To use another example, to refer to a person as a J ew is fine on it's own as this is the proper term for some who practices Judaism. But to call someone a cheap J ew or similar it is used in a derogatory fashion. The intent is clear.
My point about the website quote was not that you didn't use your own words but when asked what good things Bush had done you didn't know any so you had to go looking.
I didn't realize I was supposed to be answering a question but if you want to know what Bush has done wrong ask any of the 80% of the country who disapprove of the job he has done. If you really want an answer from me let's start with the nearly $600 billion spent in Iraq so far. Really I shouldn't have to go any further than that. All the talk of national security but what happened to Osama bin Laden and al Queda? Oh yeah, the Bush administration got sidetracked in Iraq. Was it Iraq who attacked the US on 9/11? Next is the disaster that is disaster relief. The Bush administration failed badly after Hurricane Katrina. He cut funding for renewable energy research, ignored global warming issues and increased the national debt to a staggering amount. I know, it's all Clinton's fault, right?
I would not have a serious issue with John McCain being elected President (and I certainly wouldn't be going around slandering him) but I would have a serious issue with Sarah Palin. Commander-in-chief experience??? Is she in charge of the Alaskan army? She governs one of the least populated states in the country but she is no commander-in-chief. Did you watch any of her interviews? Really? You'd be OK with her as President if McCain could not serve? The US would be a laughing stock. Picking Palin was a mistake...with Mitt Romney McCain might have won.
I'm all for healthy debate over the candidates and issues but most of what I have read is slanderous derogatory statements including "baby killer", "morons" and "lying racist Muslim". I will have nothing more to say on the matter after this. Feel free to have the last word...
