You listened to Hannity for 15 minutes?  In a row?

Quickly, run to you sink, flush your eyes and mouth with water, and dial 9-1-1.

It's much more menacing when a black man says he's going to raise taxes on the rich! What he's really saying is that he's going to steal the white women!

African Americans. Did you know he had Pastor Manning on his show? He had the audacity to berate Manning for criticizing Obama, despite the fact that he himself spends half his time ranting about how Obama should not only drop out of the presidential race, but also resign from the Senate (because of his association with Wright). He only had Manning on his program so that he'd have another chance to go after a black preacher.

Hannity, like many conservatives, is very uncomfortable with black people.

Jimmy Carter Called Reagan a Radical ,

McGovern was called a radical.

Hillary Clinton has been called a radical leftist for decades.

I hope we won't continue to see every criticism of Obama as racist.

I have heard enough of that.

The word radical is thrown around very frequently in politics , dam near every politician is called a radical.

Your diary reads like a conspiracy theory.

The republicans have obviously made a killing on exploiting race but lets reserve that for obvious transgressions.

I fail to see how calling someone or his views radical, as racist. FAUX calls everyone names who doesn't follow RNC talking points. They called Ron paul a radical.

Let me add a note here about what I mean.

My mother is an Obama supporter.  I wrote a diary about her a few days back in fact.  But a month or so ago she confessed something to me.  She said, "Aaron, I support Obama but I have to fight a fear that I find inside myself that a Black president won't always have my best interest in mind.  I know I shouldn't feel that way, but I do.  I have to get passed it."

I do not think my mother is a racist.  I am proud of her for feeling and then naming the fear she has.  We need to help people do that and we need to fight narratives that encourage that fear, and what's more, narratives that lie to people about what that fear really is.

Bring that on, Republicans. America is waking up for the first time in a long time.

sort of encapsulates the meme.

Yes, the anchor on Fox called it that. Even Morning Joe mocked it.

Perhaps they're going with racist undertones, but they would have gone with SOMETHING. Think of it as good news. Once America gets to know Obama better, the narrative completely loses shape. The war is going to be defining Obama's message by making himself as clear and passionate as he can possibly be. Meanwhile, we need to define McCain's image as who he is. A man who came to Washington and gradually compromised his integrity.

And you're surprised by this broadcast how??  I don't think any of these statements were exactly hard to predict - heck I predicted these exact words would be used months ago - but noone believed me @@
Instead they actually thought traditional voting Republicans would be more open to voting for Obama or find him LESS polarizing then Clinton - who has been talked about endlessly for practically 4 decades.

Not saying it shouldn't be fought against - it needs to be of course - but I'm fuzzy as to why the surprise?

yeah, it goes with black panthers and feeding poor kids before school, starting tutorial programs, wanting everyone to have the same chance to pitching in when government doesn't care, those scary black radicals.  

Have any of you seen commercials for that movie, "The Happening," where people are stabbing themselves and jumping off buildings? Every time I see it, I hope the movie's a documentary about Fox "News."

Does anyone know what the real impact of Fox is? My feeling is that it merely preaches to the same low-information-voter choir night after night.

I try to watch Fox News occasionally, if for no other reason than to know what the enemy's doing. But, honestly, watching that network is like one of those David Blaine magic tricks -- weird, excruciating, and ultimately pointless.

Against racism.  It's called performance.  Get the job done and get it done Jackie Robinson style.  Barack is just that kind of elite, and he is at least in my opinion the most talented politician in this age.

The funny thing to me is I doubt he knew he was black until he got to Chicago.
