[Rhodes22-list] food for thought

[Brad Haslett]

Peter,

You wrote "This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and
minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative
qualities in another when there is a color difference.'

Give me a freaking break!  I personally take offense to all this
"racism" bullshit!  This is PC run amok. There's lots to criticize and
not like about McCain. I still don't particularly like the guy even
though I'm voting for him. But, I dislike Obama ten times worse and
would whether he was red, or yellow, black or white.

Give this racism crap a rest.

Brad
