Manipulation or SOP?

[sirs]

Is it wrong for McCain to want more African Americans and less Muslims in the background of his events, where the TV will be on him?  Doesn't that border on racial & religious bigotry?

[Plane]

What is he doing to cause this?

[kimba1]

if he does
he might have to do some radical things.
my brother explained how a naturally republican group (african-americans) are greatly in the democratic party.

in the mid sixties some senator publicly stated the republican party will not back civil-rights and in a very short time the domocratic party got a increase in members.
and to this day not very much has changed in republican support to the black community.

What is he doing to cause this?

Campaign handlers trying to portray him, in an apparent preconceived way.....the proper 'look" in front of the populace and the cameras, it would appear.  anything wrong with that?

[Plane]

Well It is kinda phony , but politics is kinda phony.

This surprises me , I would have expected McCains operatives to be seating all the browner faces up frount.

[sirs]

So Plane votes for SOP?  Just trying to keep tabs

It was the Democratic party that refused to support civil rights in the '60s.

IIRC if it wasn't for the vast majority of GOP support, the Civil Rights legislation, would not have passed.  Meaning, a greater majority of Republicans supported Civil rights Legislation, than the majority of Democrats at the time

There is no reason for American Blacks to support the GOP. The GOP is where the real racists have chosen to take refuge. The GOP is the party of the rich and superrich. The GOP is the party that seeks and has always sought to "prevent voter fraud" by denying Blacks the vote. The GOP has always tried to prevent raising the minimum wage, to prevent unions from having the right to organize.

The racists of the 1960's abandoned the Democratic Party and became Republicans. This was a deliberate effort of the GOP called the "Southern Strategy" to woo the bigots, the racists, and the rednecks away from Wallace.

Watch and see how both Blacks and Hispanics vote their pocketbooks and flee McCain like poison. Which to them, his policies are.

not quite true
I said blacks are naturally republicans for these reason
lincoln was a republican
if given a choice prayer will be in school and abortion will be illegal.
despite being in the democratic party ,blacks generally are quite conservative.
but a shift happened in the 60`s
unfortunately i need a day to get the name of that senator
spiro agnew was really upset when it happened

Lincoln is dead.  There is nothing of Lincoln in the Republican Party today, just as there is nothing of Buchanon in the Democratic Party. I mean President James Buchanon, not Patrick Buchanon.

Black people do not oppose abortions, just a few of their preachers. Do not confuse the preachers because they are loud and loquacious with the people they purport to represent.

Prayer in the schools is a minor issue with them: the ones who are truly religious go to church at least twice a week.

I do not know what senator you are referring to.

Spiro Agnew was a shill, hired as Nixon's attack dog. Nixon on the attack was something hardly anyone could stand, so he got Agnew to do it for him. All of Agnew's speeches were written for him.

How do you get everything Backwards?

Nixons Southern Strategy WAS George Wallace ,who soaked up the Democratic strength there.

Nixon did not do anything at all to gain a racist vote.

You need to consider the source.  There in lies the answer to your query

[kimba1]

lincoln was dead but he did have quite abit of influence with the black community at the time

Yeah, LBJ, JFK, RFK were all against civil rights. NOT!

BULLSH*T!

After Wallace got himself shot. his campaign fell apart.
Then Nixon got the racist vote.

Strom Thurmond and a whole passel of Southern Democrats fled the Democratic Party and became Republicans.

I suppose your clever theory is that the racists will all vote for Obama, because they are Democrats and everyone knows how all Democrats are racists. I hear that Obama was planning to burn a cross on his own front lawn before is psychiatrist stopped him.

The Republican Party is led by the oligarchy of White Old Rich guys. (WORMS)
There aren't enough WORMS to elect anyone, so they pay admen and propagandists like Rush to
promote their views.

"What if you ever made a bazillion dollars, Cletus? You want them Democrats to take it away from your chilluns, leaving them with only millions apiece?"

"You want them niggers to take over? Ain;t they got enuf awready?"

"You want anyone tellin' you you oughtn't drive a dually crewcab pickup truck to take Dixie Lee to Line dance class??

"You want them Ay-Rabs to run their own country and keep Jesus from returning soon, like it says here in the Good Book?"

"If'n you don't want nunna that, Cletus, you'd best vote for JOHN McCAIN"
