Is backing Sen. Barack Obama 'liberal guilt'? Now I know

[babylonsister]

what a DUer was speaking of earlier this week because I'm watching the McLaughlin Group. It was mentioned tonight by Monica Crowley and Pat Buchanan. We're voting for Obama because we're guilty of not really liking a candidate, but voting for him because he's black, and that assuages our supposed racism. :wtf:

So NOW I know what my motives are! :eyes:

[Johnny__Motown]

1. Buchanan.. hehe ... Well we know what the Nixon administration thinks of Obama

[Double T]

2. No bigoted guilt here.

And No Barak obama either.

[meow mix]

3. yep..concensus is; "obama supporters are driven by pure sexist and racist motivations"

didnt you get the memo from camp hillary?
:eyes:

I passed your thread a few times wondering what the hell a 'liberal quilt' was, and why the heck were they discussing this on McLaughlin. :rofl:

[babylonsister]

7. Or this fun place, GD/P? Hey, I'd love a liberal quilt! nt

[MzShellG]

19. Lol. They should sell liberal quilts in the DU store. nt

[cliffordu]

18. Yep - I got a Liberal Quilt, too, that's why I'm voting for him....

Hillary just didn't make me feel 'quilty' enough...


:rofl:

[lligrd]

5. LOL That Is What Makes The Choice So Tough

Should we feel more guilty about what we did to women or blacks? It is not possible that we are voting for Obama because we find him to be an intelligent, compassionate, competent leader.

6. no guilt here

no guilt, no obama, and no abamapology either

[woolldog]

8. Very disheartening.

It's almost as if it's inconceivable to some people that a black candidate can just be a very good candidate and that's why people vote for him. Sad.

:-(

10. Now, that's racism for ya........

Now, If Obama had said, "Vote for me because I'm Black" over and over again....maybe then somebody might have a point!

Guess they think that everyone is stupid like they are. :eyes:

[texas_indy]

9. But what about his non-white supporters here and over seas?? I'm so confused!!!

OMG, I better grab some more Obama koolaid and repeat some mantras before I come to my senses!!

Oh good. That's better.....oh my, the clouds are parting and I hear a heavenly choir,.... oh my goodness, who is that floating down upon a golden chair, ...... no it can't be, ........... but it is, ..........it's, it's, it's the cable guy here to fix the blasted connection!!!!!


(I gotta get more sleep!!)


TEXAS IS GOING OBAMA ON 3/4!!

GET 'ER DONE!!


Texas is Obama country! VIVA OBAMA!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fd-MVU4vtU

11. I think it is interesting if they really said "liberal guilt'

I have acquaintances that are conservatives that are voting for him
because of their guilt.

THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT THE WAR
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT CORPORATIONS
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT REPUBLICANS
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT THEIR RELIGION and realized they were being manipulated
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT BUSH
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT NAFTA
THAT THEY WERE WRONG AFTER REALLY LOOKING AT MEDIA CONTROL
THAT THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING....

and the list goes on and on. Liberal guilt is a right wing slur.


But, I have seen real changes from conservatives and their warped perceptions
and they are voting for Obama.

This sort of fighting and back and forth is why you might want to read about http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4829034&mesg_id=4829034">The Three-Arm Baby

14. I don't agree with that post; brokered convention? No way!

[mrbluto]

15. Remember...

Don't bother to give a reason or two.

Just you utter your opinion and wander off.

No reasoning or dialog necessary.

[babylonsister]

16. It is a muddle; we need to have a decision made, and soon, so the

candidate can put all their efforts into the GE. That was my point.
And sorry, it was late and I went to bed.

[applegrove]

17. Ridiculous. Implies there is nothing likeable about a very inspiring candidate.

GOP meme. Trying to wedge the white vote I think.
