"The poor are just a faceless mass of money-thirsty zombies who will suck up all that cash and turn normal white folks into poor folks."

There are plenty of 'white folks' that are already poor. Why does it have to come down to race?
"I have watched the anger and racism that McCain and Palin arouse"
It was Obama that said they're going to tell you that I don't look like them. It was Obama and his supporters that have focused on race.-

GehlLady - It was Mccain and Palin who were aiming their propoganda at rich and middle class whites to make them fear the poor.

Obama was trying dispel the racism and prejudice by encouraging everyone to disregard the differences in his external appearance. It was McCain and Palin and the neocons who keep saying that Obama is different, that he has a muslim name, that he is a follower of Wright, that he is not a citizen, that he is actually a kenyan citizen. It was McCain and Palin who were playing on the subconscious racism and fears. Obama was mentioning it to dispel it.-

Perhaps, but there were charges of the 'race card' being pulled between Clintons and Obamas campaign before the general election. I feel it was inevitable it would be an issue in the process of this election, and I fervently hope it can now be put away.

Since you mentioned Rev. Wright, I do feel he was fair game due to Obamas words, that he was a mentor, and all the accolades Obama gave him early in his campaign. I felt John McCain showed much class in taking the issue off the table because, imho, it was too racially tinged to be examined without the true racists and lunatics becoming the issue instead of the other radical statements made by Rev. Wright, ie 9/11 and HIV.
