Loading ...22% Say Senator John McCain Is “Racist” While 53% Say Barack Obama Is?
Hmm… there’s something funny going on here. Rasmussen only mentions these results came from a survey of 1,000 “likely voters” taken on the 1st of this month but it doesn’t say anything about where the poll was taken unless I missed it. Hmm. Ponder, ponder, ponder… I believe I’ve GOT it!
This poll of “likely voters” HAD to have been taken outside of a main Wal-Mart exit. Hang on, now — I’m not painting all Wally-World shoppers with the same brush — I’ll get back to that in a bit; it’s the only way these results make any sense at all to me though.
Some “snips” from the Rasmussen Reports site should demonstrate my point quite well I believe:
Only 22% Say McCain Ad Racist, But Over Half (53%) See Obama Dollar-bill Comment That Way
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the nation’s voters say they’ve seen news coverage of the McCain campaign commercial that includes images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and suggests that Barack Obama is a celebrity just like them. Of those, just 22% say the ad was racist while 63% say it was not.
However, Obama’s comment that his Republican opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like all the other presidents on dollar bills was seen as racist by 53%. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree. …”
(Snip!)
“… Not surprisingly, the McCain ad generates significantly different perceptions along racial and ethnic lines. Most African-American voters—58%–saw the McCain ad as racist. Just 18% of white voters and 14% of all other voters shared that view. …”
(Snip!)
“… As for Obama’s comment, 53% of white voters saw it as racist, as did 44% of African-Americans and 61% of all other voters. …”
See what I mean? Wal-Mart. All the way. And not just any Wal-Mart — a Wally-World located somewhere down deep in the Heart Of Dixie. Somewhere like my beloved, home town of Mobile, Alabama, for example. It had to be. I can just see these people in my mind’s eye — a large number of the respondents (all races) with huge overbites and a bunch of them sporting those sexy unibrows we’re famous for down here in the South. I’m sorry — there is just no other logical explanation for these Rasmussen results — at least not to MOI.
And you know what the most frightening part of this whole Rasmussen survey is? The fact these people declare themselves “likely voters”. God help us all.

Obama was responding — maybe if the question was preceded with Facts – the Rasmussen poll would be valid –
McCain put out an ad with Barack’s face on the $100 bill BEFORE Barack said anything in response — he is not injecting race into this -
The only thing Sen Obama is guilty of is injecting CLASS into a despicable political process – he need sone attack dogs –
Why doesn’t the media do their job?
Here’s the link to the ad- right there on John McCain’s You Tube site (and the embed – not sure which works on this site)

4* Barack Obama said his opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like the other Presidents on dollar bills. Is that a racist comment?
53% Yes
38% No
9% Not sure
Just a thought. If I heard this question and thought it meant “Because he is black, Obama said his opponent will try to scare people,” I would think that was a racist comment, because it suggests that Obama cannot help but play the victim, because that’s what black people do. That may explain why 44% of African-Americans found the comment racist.
Well, well, well… So there are other folks here in the south that see the same thing that I see? I was getting ever so lonely. But now I see that I have company!
Obama scares me true enough. But not nearly as bad as four more years of McSame. And I don’t get what the “race” question is all about. Will anyone ever address the “class” issue? Likely not.
