I’m actually more concerned about what the reaction will be if Obama wins without a majority of the white vote. How will the conservative movement, whose standard-bearer this year has relied explicitly on identity politics and an exclusive conception of "Americanness," react? Will they spend the next few years arguing that Obama isn’t "their president" and working to convince whites that they’ve been disenfranchised simply by virtue of a black man being in the White House?
Yes they will.
Because Barack Obama will be an affirmative action hire selected by 60 million people (who suffer from white guilt) over an obviously more qualified white man who deserves it more because he was a prisoner of war.
Remember: if John McCain/Sarah Palin lose, it will be because America is racist, ageist, anti-veteran, and sexist and not because the Republican nominees. you know, suck.

Yes, expect incredibly loud and prolonged GOP whining. If it could only be harnessed as a source of energy, the US could tell saudi arabia to go pound sand.
Not to mention that any white person who votes for Obama and his token whitey Joey B. are race traitors…
I’ve been claiming that Bush is not my president for 7 years and it hasn’t done me any good at all.

He also invented the Blackberry:
That the Blackberry was invented by a Canadian company escaped Holt-Eakin’s notice.
If we took all the wingnut welfare dollars and plowed them into conservation/energy R&D, same outcome.

And at the same time, the election of a black president will be proof that racism no longer exists in America. Yet another example of a single event creating two mutually exclusive outcomes.

Ah, see, you’re missing the thrust of the con: the point is that while Obama’s victory will show white on black racism is dead, it has been replaced with everyone-else-on-white racism.
Specifically everyone-else-on-white males racism, since white males are the Jew of Liberal Fascism. White females are apparently also part of the problem, what with wanting equal pay and control of their baby making bits and obviously being lesbians cause they turn you down for dates.
Can I just point out the ridiculous irony in Teh Google serving me up an ad for “interracial romance” alongside this thread? Just sayin’…
Remember: if John McCain/Sarah Palin lose, it will be because American Mainstream Media, controlled by a Leftist cabal, is racist, ageist, anti-veteran, and sexist and not because the Republican nominees, you know, suck.
Fixed.
Suckiness is a feature, not a bug in Republican candidates. The more delusional and less qualified, the better. It is only elitist prejudice against the totally insane and thoroughly unqualified that could possibly prevent John McCain’s election to the presidency to which he is justly entitled as the POW child and grandchild of admirals who married a big time sugar mama.

If Repubes can’t even handle one night stands, how are they gonna run America?
I received an e-mail from my small-town/proud redneck/wingnut sister a couple of weeks ago that went on for many paragraphs explaining how Obama’s people (Muslims) were actually the slave owners and that’s why it’s completely incorrect to call him an African-American because that term is exclusively for those people who actually came from those who were enslaved here by whites. I kid you not.
She gets all this crap from some bunch of friends who are on the Super Best White People Hard-workin’ Bootstrap Get Them Darkies Outta My Town mailing lists and still occasionally slips up and fouls my inbox with it. I reward her with even longer responses refuting each and every sentence in the forwarded screed, with footnotes, so I don’t get many of them any more.
Yeah…… I used to do that with my wife’s uncle. Now when I see his emails, I just hit delete. Then I watch my dog lick his balls. Why settle for a fake when you have the real thing right in front of you?
Oh, Christ. If Obama wins we’ll never be rid of rap.
Not to mention that awful Nat King Cole.
Man, if I don’t hear this at least as often as “Al Gore said he invented the internet”, then we know the liberal media is a lie.
Oh, wait, I guess we can actually skip straight to the “proved” stage. Why waste time here?
Based on observation of my overwhelmingly white, rural students, we will never be rid of it regardless of who wins.
Everyone will always have their n****r. It just will depend on the definition.
My dog died quite awhile ago. But you’ve given me another reason to get a new one NOW. Thanks.
Hey, Nat King Cole was articulate and bright and clean, and a nice-looking guy.
But of course, the corporate media stars will tell the whining Republicans to shut up and get over it. Just move on… Oh; maybe not.
