Let's face it: "Arab" "Muslim" "terrorist" are code words
for people who do not want to admit, in public, that they don't want a black President.

And trying to reason with them is a waste of time and effort. OK, McCain had to do it to at least keep the moderate in his camp. An improvement, I suppose, from chuckling when another empty headed woman referred to "the bitch." (And how come we never got her name?)

1. They're random words
from Dimson's extremely limited vocabulary.

3. It must be a trait that they can't get over anything including racism.

My Republican uncle won't go to his high school reunion because some people in his class didn't go to the Korean War. Gosh, that was 55 years ago! He's worked hard and he became very rich (some of the money stolen from his relatives BTW!)

Their biggest attack on Obama involves something that occured when Obama was 8. These people are too cracked to be running our government. For proof see the last 8 years.

4. They're thought to be acceptable substitutes for the "N" word by the right.

6. I'm more concerned about McSame and Palin conspiring something here.
I just watched a video of McSame agreeing to an audience member who was inciting violence.

8. Funny, I've been thinking the same thing...
It's a code they use to camouflage their racism and use to connect with others who share their fear of having a black man as President.

During the primaries, I was very irritated by the suggestion that preferring another candidate to Obama was due to racism. But, in this case of the Rethugs using these codes words to describe Obama, it's true.
