The only problem is, with the rare anecdotal exception, these geniuses can't find all those racists out in the world who will actually contribute to that 6%. So, they dream up a new kind of racism - "unconscious racism." I swear, I couldn't make crap like this up on my most conscious day:
Racism Without RacistsYou McCain supporters are all still racists. You just don't know it.
By Nicholas D. Kristof, The New York Times
One of the fallacies this election season is that if Barack Obama is paying an electoral price for his skin tone, it must be because of racists.
On the contrary, the evidence is that Senator Obama is facing what scholars have dubbed “racism without racists.”The racism is difficult to measure, but a careful survey completed last month by Stanford University, with The Associated Press and Yahoo, suggested that Mr. Obama’s support would be about six percentage points higher if he were white. That’s significant but surmountable.
Most of the lost votes aren’t those of dyed-in-the-wool racists.
Rather, most of the votes that Mr. Obama actually loses belong to well-meaning whites who believe in racial equality and have no objection to electing a black person as president — yet who discriminate unconsciously. (link) [my emphasis]
Really.
I want to meet those individuals who go into the voting booth "unconsciously," Nick. The ones who will be pulling the McCain lever without knowing why. Are you serious?
These people crack me up.

But they claim only '90%' of the blacks (it will be 100%) will vote for Hussein O and that's not racist. BWAHAHAHAHA Hussein has used the 'if you don't vote for me' you're a racist since day one. He's so racist he bleed racism, but he's not really black, half white and over 40% Arab does not a black make, other than skin color. He admitted his 'Muslem' faith on national TV and gets a pass on that. His pardner in crime, Slow Joe tells over 20 bold face lies in a national debate and gets a pass from the Lame Stream Media. You can't believe one word from the Lame Stream Media or one word the Hussein crowd says, that's sad for America.

Hmm...Bobby Lee May over in Buchanan County appologized and resigned as County McCain Campaign chairman for similarly dishonest, stupid and racist remarks. Darn, it looks like the disease of lying and racism must be contagious to some people.
They must be talking about the Dems as being racists. Afterall, the GOP will not vote for Sen. O because he is a DEMOCRAT and they disagree with his policies.
What about people who don't vote for Gov. Palin? Are they sexists?
When you need an excuse, any excuse will do.
