Repugnican John Fossil Fool McCain, pictured creepily smiling today in Wisconsin. (I think that scary thing next to him is his mummified wife.) Team McCain asserts that for Barack Obama, the next president of the United States, to mention his own race, even indirectly, is to -- gasp! -- "play the race card!" Gee, isn't it racist to assert that we shouldn't mention the simple fucking fact that a black man is black (not that there's anything wrong with that!)?
Unhinged
It's great to see Repugnican dinosaur John McInsane thrash about wildly like DINO (Democrat in name only) Billary Cunton* did when Barack Obama was about to stomp her ass, too. Can you say "death throes"?
The more that the McCainosaurus thrashes about in the tar pit, the more stuck he'll become. (And maybe his oilified carcass will help us with the energy crisis some millions of years down the road, eh?)
Yesterday, Team McInsane was comparing Barack Obama to Britney Spears (and to Paris Hilton). Today, those pushing for a third Bush term accuse Barack Obama of "playing the race card!" -- you know, because he's black, but we're never supposed to talk about that.
No, let's talk about that:
Every single U.S president has been a white male. Every single one of them.
We call ourselves a "representative democracy," but consider: For every 100 females in the United States, there are 97 males. Therefore, males don't comprise even 50 percent of the U.S. population. Fewer than 75 percent of Americans are white.
Ain't it long past time for a president who isn't a stupid white man?
Oh, and speaking of a representative democracy, well more than 80 percent of Americans are under the age 65, so why are stupid old white men in charge of just about everything?
Yes, let's play the age and the sex cards, too.
Of course Team McInsane doesn't want to talk about race. They don't want the uninterrupted chain of white male presidents to be broken by Barack Obama. They're hoping to eke out at least another presidential term by a stupid white man in John Fossil Fool McCain. They must consider it horribly unfair that George W. Bush used dirty tactics to beat McCain during the 2000 Repugnican presidential primary season, and now that Bush has finished his two stolen terms, the reign of stupid white men in the White House appears to be coming to a halt.
I guess that the Repugnicans' plan is to scream, "He/she is playing the race card!" every time a non-white runs for high office. That's supposed to be an "argument" to keep whites in power indefinitely, even in areas of that nation where whites are the minority. (And those areas are ever-expanding. Whites comprise less than 50 percent of my city of Sacramento, just one of many U.S. cities in which whites don't hold a majority.)
Yes, race is a factor in the 2008 presidential election. Look at news photos of McCain's campaign events (such as the one above) and you'll see that they're almost as all-white as KKK rallies. Obama's campaign rallies, by contrast -- well, they have a lot more contrast.
Obama represents what the United States of America has been for a long time now and what it increasingly is becoming: diverse. Increasingly non-white.
McCain represents the desperate stupid white men desperately and pathetically trying to hold on to power against changing times. (I'm a progressive. The enemy -- the Repugnicans -- are regressives.) Even though stupid white men kept non-whites down for generations, now that they are (finally!) losing power, they are screaming "racism!" -- as though they are the victims.
It's sick. It's pathetic. It makes me embarrassed to be white.
I thank Goddess that I'm at least gay.
P.S. Lest I be accused of not being fair and balanced, the quote of Obama's that Team McCainosaurus claims amounts to Obama having "played the race card!" is this: "What [the Republicans are] going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, [they'll say,] 'He's not patriotic enough,' 'He's got a funny name,' you know, 'He doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.'"
Well, again, that's just a fucking fact: Obama doesn't look like any past U.S. president because he's not a white man. He's not an old white man. He's not a stupid old white man like George W. Bush or John McCain or the plethora of other stupid white men who have brought the United States of America to the brink of ruin.
Apparently Team McInsane wants a fact-fucking-free presidential election season.
And it's true that the Repugnicans are using just about every word except for "the 'n'-word" to call Obama exactly that: a nigger. Let's face it: "Muslim," the slur (a slur in the way that it's used in this case) most commonly used against Obama, is code for "nigger." So while the Repugnicans may "politely" indirectly point out Obama's race -- in order to stir up racist sentiment among their fellow white supremacists -- Obama is not allowed to mention, even indirectly, his own race.
I say: Fuck. That. Shit.
P.P.S. Each low-down attack that Team McCainosaurus makes upon Barack Obama inspires me to donate more money to the Obama campaign. I donated to Obama's campaign yesterday after the seekers of a third Bush term likened Obama to Britney Fucking Spears and again today after they accused Obama of "playing the race card!" when white supremacists comprise their fucking base.
At this rate, Team Obama can let its fundraising staff go. Team McInsane is doing a better job of fundraising for Obama than Team Obama ever could do.
*Speaking of Billary Cunton, Jason and Freddy have nothing on the bitch. She absolutely refuses to die. I received this e-mail today:

Dear Friend, During the campaign, Hillary and I didn't have the chance to eat together much because we were usually on the trail in different states. Now that the campaign's over, I'm glad we can share more meals again. Of all the people I've had the privilege to break bread with, the person I most enjoy is still Hillary. Now you have a chance to have dinner with her. And if you contribute even as little as $5 today, you can help Hillary retire that pesky campaign debt, and you and a guest might be sitting down to dinner with her soon. Every little bit can make a difference, and I think you should go for it and enter today. Join Hillary for dinner. Make a $5 contribution today. Trust me on this one. If you're the lucky winner, it will be a night to remember and one you'll really enjoy. All my best,  Bill Clinton

What a baby-boomerish thing to do, to be begging for money to pay off a "pesky campaign debt" (I'm going to barf) when Billary Cunton took a gamble and lost -- and instead of sucking it up, like the rest of us would have to do if we lost money gambling, she's begging for money that Barack Obama sure could use right now to win the White House. Bitch. I don't use the "c" word lightly. She has earned it.
Dinner with Billary??!? Um, what's she going to have? Live rodents?
