Wow:

“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”

“When you got a Nigger running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

“He seems like a sheep – or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin – she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”

“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”

“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”

“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”

“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda – a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”

“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”

With the succinct and all to true conclusion by the reporter, “It’s a reminder that hate and fear are still powerful sources in American society.”

    There are racist people found all over the place … not just at Palin rallies. Equating Palin to the racial ignorance of a few dumb citizens is as absurd as the remarks those bigots spewed. You’re all sheep! Being in America and being American are two very different things – a racist is NOT a typical American. I am proud to be an American – the world is filled with different point of views, get over yourselves!

    The second guy says “negro”. Listen to it again. I’m an Obama supporter but changing this word in your text is only stocking the very aggression you’re trying to illustrate. The Obama supporters need to play fair and let these misinformed racist inbred Christian Ohioans hang themselves.

    I’m not so shocked. I know people who are voting for Obama, where race is a significant factor for them. Just because they’re on my side doesn’t make them less racist. I guess I’m just trying to point out that there’s racism on both sides, but the Democratic racism is hidden far better methinks.

These bigots and religeous zealots are truly a product of the propoganda machine and and don’t let reason dictate their thought process… they let emotion and ideaology control them…pathetic.

  • The second quote is incorrect. You wrote that he said “Nigger” and I’m pretty sure he said “negro”. This video is damning enough without making it worse. Besides, misquoting gives ammunition to the McCain/Palin apologists. Please fix this.

    Yeah, you really need to edit your entry to either remove the quotes or change the word to “negro.” It’s bad enough what’s being said, but don’t misrepresent it to make things worse.

    Comment | October 16, 2008
  • And a very minor point, but having lived in The South for just a little while I can tell you there is a subtle distinction in the pronunciations of negro, negra, nigra, and nigger. All are different – and each will reveal the politics of the speaker. Of course there are many other descriptions: blacks, Afro-Americans, coloreds, etc. and each will reflect the speakers political stance.

    Southerners love to shock Northern liberals with this trap… and the text transcription is incorrect as I heard it.

  • George O.

    Jon is right. I’m not defending these bigots but racism goes both ways. If you interviewed black people at an Obama rally in Alabama you would hear similar comments from racist black people. It goes both ways. Again, not defending this kind of behavior, but pretending to be outraged is more ignorant than the words these people are saying. Instead of glorifying these morons in the blogosphere, which in turn inspires more hatred, we should be ignoring them. What’s the point of a news story like this? You’re just expounding on the hatred when you allow these extremists to see the limelight. If we spent a little more time focused on the REAL issues and not who’s black and who’s white then maybe we would see some true change. But alas, this is the beauty of the two party political system. Illusions of choice where none really exist.

    For the bailout?

    No?

    Too bad. Obama and McCain both voted for it. Keep thinking your voting for ‘change’ or ‘conservatism’ and remember, up is down, left is right, and war is peace.

    Thanks for posting this, as americans we can no longer hold on to the past, whites shouldnt fear blacks and vice versa we should make this election about us(tax paying americans) and who will be better for us in the future. If you like McCains ideas for the future GOOD if you like Obama’s plan GREAT. But the racial overtones are getting everyone sidetracked from the real issue and thats the fact that our dollar we work hard for everyday is being reduced to the paper its printed on, NOTHING!Jobs are being moved over seas to save money by the big wigs, we’re in debt to china, and we’re in love with giving our money to the saudi’s(Never forget 9/11)So to me its simple real change cant come from someone who’s been in washington longer than most voters have been on this earth, think about it, if given the opportunity to serve multiple terms didnt lead to change why would the presidency???

    I used to live among people like this – rural, poor and ignorantly conservative. I am of mixed race, and sometimes it was hard to get along with them on a fundamental level. Ok, most of the time. But outside of their self-inflicted ignorance and prejudice, they were ordinary people trying to get along. These in particular look afraid – like they are losing an imagined prestige they acquired from the grace of the color of their birth. From their impovrished, forgotten, trashed-out, undereducated, ridiculed position in the world, they really have nothing else. Seeing this video simply reminded me how pathetic they are. I pity them.

    The guy who called African Americans by the word “negro” was old. When he grew up, negro was what polite people used instead of “the N word” to refer to African Americans.

    Cherry picking several people who obviously are racist does not by any means apply to the vast majority of McCain supporters.

    Racism is everywhere. Perhaps the author should spend some time investigating the democrat and liberal voters that will not vote for Obama because he is Black.

    ..or perhaps the high percentage of blacks who are voting for Obama JUST because he is black. That doesn’t seem like the best way to pick your candidate either… Is that not racist as well?

    There are many smart people out there that are also racist to some degree. It is not limited to the uneducated, or redneck.

    Now… If we could go back 20 or 30 years and compare the level of racism then versus today, I think you’d find we’ve come a long way in such a short period of time.

    if there are racists on obama’s side as fanatical as these, then yes, they are doing an excellent job of hiding it. im not saying palin is a racist, but some of the gop’s base undoubtedly is.

    p.s. there IS a secret consipiracy, and if obama wins, us darkies are DEFINITELY taking over. crackers beware, all your irrational fears are justified, cuz all us niggers are just as irrational as you. were just sneakier, and its harder to see us at night so we can get away with it.

    He didn’t say “negro” or “nigger”. He said “nigra” which is a variant of “nigger” that carries all that word’s accompanying connotations. Having been addressed that way many times in that part of the country, I’ve developed an ear for the word.

    Please change the quotation that has an individual quoted as saying, “ni**er” so that it reads what I believe he actually said, which is “negro.” I am no fan of McCain-Palin or their misguided supporters, but this man is being misquoted by you and this error needs to be fixed. Using the term negro is still inexcusable, it’s still a racist term, and so there is no need to exaggerate what was actually said.

If you only watch the news, polls, or go to sites like this to make your decision, you are not taking that responsibility seriously. Find some non-biased sources(registrar of voters sends out some good stuff), think for yourself, vote for the best canidate(there are more than two parties).

That, whole baby killed remark near the end was SO wrong, abortion before 3 months is technically removing a parasite, as all the FETUS, not baby, not child, does is steal nutrients and oxygen from the mother. Look it up and get your head out of your rear. I am a afraid that one of these people really will kill Obama. That’s what scares me the most.

    The second guy says ‘negro’, most certainly, only pronounce “nay-grah”. i come from a mixed family–the white side being extremely country–and my great grandmother still says ‘negro’ and it sounds “nay-grah”, and she isn’t the only one. So… it’s still being said. Don’t think just ‘cuz you don’t hear it, that it must not ever be said. I still can’t believe that people STILL think Obama is Muslim. I mean, ain’t she got a TV? And when did some white people start thinking Obama thought they are trash? That’s nothing but self-loathing and jealousy right there. A black man has more than some white person, and said white person thinks “well, of COURSE Obama thinks he’s better than me…”

    She might as well have called up an uppity nigger.

    Who are the ignorant ones here? You all just dismiss these peoples’ fears by calling them “stupid,” “ignorant,” “racist,” “rednecks,” etc, but doesn’t that make you just as bad? You hear them say one sentence or phrase and you know and understand all their prejudices and opinions? I’m not saying I approve of what they said – it is hateful and sad that they feel this way. However, they are my people. I’m from rural Michigan, though I now live in a city. And let me tell you, us rural people think YOU are the ignorant ones. And it’s comments from Obama saying we “cling to God and guns” that fuels this type of hatred and makes him seem patronizing. If you’re not from the country, you don’t know our culture. Your obvious disdain for us does not improve the situation. You’re the ignorant ones in our eyes. THAT is why Palin is so popular.

    I’m sorry but black people can not be racist. They can be prejudiced or bigoted, but racism is about power and oppression. Racism is an ideology that justifies existing power relations and social differentiation based on ascriptive notions of “race”. While I am not arguing that Ivy educated African-Americans are more or less oppressed than the working class white people in this video, there is a recognition that the white race has a privileged and entitled position. The fear and anger in these folks’ eyes is a testament to how upsetting a challenge to racial hierarchy can be to those on top.

    he says “nigra”. That’s that rural diction. It’s supposed to a kinder, gentler way to refer to black people. And yes, it’s still offensive and disrespectful. I’m not sure why that’s a point of debate. He’s obviously not tipping his hat to Obama. There is no respect involved in his comment.

    America is in no way a Christian nation, or a nation of any other religion, for that matter. It wasn’t founded on any Christian principles or any such nonsense of the sort. Several of the Founding Fathers spoke out on this specific subject and many of them despised the entire idea of organized religion. That being said, of course Obama is a Christian (or professes to be, anyhow); the religious prejudices from the electorate he would face for being of a different faith or an atheist would be worse than the prejudices he’s facing now for being black.

    Forget whether he said Nigger, Nigra or Negro…what he was saying that since its an African American running (an unfortunate instance in his view) that the guy who’s unfortunate enough to be a nigger/negro/nigra running for president should be a “first stringer” and Obama’s a “second stringer”…but his whole concept of what constitutes first stringer or second stringer is formed from his racist white supremecist world view…so if your justification for this guy is he said “Nigra” instead of Nigga that’s WEAK

    Comment | October 17, 2008
  • I’m going to have to jump on the bandwagon and point out that the guy definitely said “negro” and not “nigger”. To echo the sentiments of earlier posters, the video is so damned biased it makes me roll my eyes. Every political candidate is going to have his/her fringe nutjob supporters, and it’s outright plain-and-simple yellow journalism to go out looking for these people to smear a candidate. I support Obama, but some of his other supporters put me off, especially those sheep that start chanting “Yes we can” at rallies. Why not throw your right arm out and give a hearty “Sieg Heil!” while your at it, you brainless twits?

    Gunner Sykes said: “I am heartened by the extremes that leftist hatemongers go to in smearing Sarah Palin. She must be doing something right.”

    Oh yeah, I’m sure the DNC has a hotline to Al Jazeera. Your use of the term “leftist hatemongers” instantly and readily conveys to all your ideological superiority and the academic merits of your arguments.

    GLC said: “The purpose of this comment is to just show how far behind the south is. ”

    I’ll refer you to the title of the article: “Al-Jazeera Exposes Racism At Sarah Palin Rally in Ohio”. O-H-I-O. As I best recall, Ohio is generally not considered part of “the South,” so your ignorant generalization of Southerners earns you a FAIL.

    Sooloo says: A whole bunch of outdated crap that makes me wonder what the hell he/she is smoking. There’s only one color in the USA that matters, buddy: green. If you really believe the tripe that you typed here, then you need to re-evaluate your attitude. The people that have the green don’t give a damn that you’re black or white, they just want your poor ass to stay poor so they can make another $100 million. I’m white, and I can tell you that all that power and privilege I supposedly have entitles me to a summer job as a A/C tech (which, by the way, I got through a phone interview, thus eliminating racial bias) whilst I go into debt the rest of the year as an undergrad at the Ive-League University of Houston. Classism is the way that the haves keep all the have-nots at each other now, not racism.

    No person should be 100% tolerant — it’s impossible, and that route only leads to letting bad people get away with bad things because you’re “tolerating” them. You have a right to free speech in the USA. Rights and responsibilities go hand in hand, as you also have a right to keep your racist, ignorant mouth shut. Just ask the inbred, racist, East Texas twit who jabbed my wife with a finger one time and called her a “wetback whore.” I carry a concealed Walther P99. I won’t say how I reacted, but I’ll let you know that you can spot that jerk by the piss stain in his overalls that’s a direct result of him meeting me.

    for me, I don’t like Obama’s shifts on issues, backtracking on his promises, the way he tries to portray himself as supporting both sides of various issues, nor his lack of experience.

    despite what everyone seems to be trying to say, it’s completely feasible to be a McCain supporter and not be racist.

    risklew, has it ever dawned on you that Palin is so popular because she represents the ignorance and stupidity of people like you? Hopefully that light bulb has turned on…smh

    whether he said “nigger” or “negro” it speaks to his character. He has had more than four decades to get it right and still chooses to refer to a black person in that negative connotation.

    It amazes me how many of you defend this BS, but then it confirms what I already knew racisim is alive and well!!

    This is so ridiculous. There are so few racists in this country but this is SO not mainstream America. The Democratic party itself took a poll and found 3 percent of DEMOCRATS would NOT vote for Obama because he was black. But you don’t see the media talking to these people. This is just one idiot’s lame attempt to paint Republicans as racist.

    For pete’s sake, grow up.

    The Republican Party was founded in 1854 for the express purpose of ending slavery. The Democratic Party, by contrast, defended it to the bitter end. Abe Lincoln was a Republican.

    In 1858, Sen. Stephen A. Douglas, Democrat of Illinois, debated Republican Abraham Lincoln on the question of slavery. Said Douglas during one of those debates: “For one, I am opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form. I believe this government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, men of European birth and descent, instead of conferring it upon negroes, Indians and other inferior races.”

    so many people posting here are neglecting a glaring contradiction. If you are really so upset about the racism in this country, ignore these people. It seems everyone posting here actually gets excitement from this to feel better about themselves. Not very keeping with christianity is it?

    Prejudice and hatred is rampant in America. Just watch FOX NEWS for a half hour, Sean Hannity, Megan Kelly, Bill O’Reilly.

    Well weather yo like it or not we in America have the freedom to think as we want, act as we want and say what we want as long as that thought and action does not bring physical harm to others. So I do not agree with all that is said or how it is said but some of it I do agree with. You liberals have a mental disorder and I do not blame you for thinking and acting the way you do. Just like I can’t blame mentally sick person for their actions. Don’t you know that you are watching a propaganda feed by the Al-Jazeera (a muslim propaganda machine). How do you know they were not planted actors? I guess your liberals parents never thought you to not trust something you see in todays world. Just because its on film does not mean it is true to life. IDIOTS WAKE UP! BTW, just because Obama says he is a Christian does not make him one. He could be a muslim in his heart for all you know.

    Blackjack has a good point, next time i see a Macain tv feed or commercial ill def keep in mind its just a lie and republican propaganda message and BTW just because Mcain says he approves this message doesnt it true. As far as the whole christian thing a person would think that after the crusades, what Hitler did to the jews and our contribution, the native americans and to many more to mention, we would learn that judgeing people by the religous beliefs is a lost cause. As far the whole liberal parents thing my father died in our last useless war ,,,vietnam ,,,so that dick heads like u could spew your meaningless bullshit…so have a nice day

  • actually, thats exactly what is WRONG with this country.
    Its called INTOLERANCE.
    People are scared of CHANGE, of something that is not familiar to them.
    (like being a muslim, or arab etc…)
    THis world is getting much smaller, with on demand communications, and increased populations.
    We NEED to learn to get along with each other,
    in the future, it may not be a choice
    You may be working from home on the phone
    trying to sell something to someone overseas.

    Some people will never be able to change, or handle the expanding world.
    I just hope they let their children move forward.

    If you cant be part of the CHANGE
    Get out of the WAY !

    Now we have to deal with this guy, wow, now you can see the monster democrats potentially created. The thing about Obama is, he’ll either be great, or a goddamn disaster. I dont know what is up with the national police force he talked about being more funded than our military, but that kind of stuff scares me silly.

  • [...] She didn’t see me and it all felt awkward. It occurred to me to turn around. Next, just as I decided to hoof back down to my buddy canvasser the woman in black spotted me and jumped, delicately startled. With no shoes on she walked through the living room and slid open the door. She apologized. I apologized. Then my new acquaintance apologized again, and I went into my rap about this gig of strengthening Obama’s support in the battleground states by shipping Cali’s surplus of support to the dipshit hinterlands.

    Having watched the unbelievable video of the Palin rally lunatic interviews, i understand how the Salem witch trials were enabled.And it seems nothing in the character of rural Americans has changed even today.It must indeed be down to inbreeding and madness.What is the solution to these people?perhaps the contraceptive pill in their water supply will eventually put a painless end to them ! Poor Mr.Obama, trying to govern over them.Good luck to him.Good luck to America.Hopefully the world may love you again. ps Do all rural yokels kill every animal/wild life they see,or does it only seem that way ?
