Haloscan, the comments system Blogger uses, is notoriously iffy. Please also expect a delay sometimes in having your comment appear. Certain work servers also aren't Haloscan-friendly.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe I was playing a race card. I was merely stating how some individuals have historically played the race card and may play it again. There's really no debate about the existence of the Southern Strategy since it's been openly discussed (and even bragged about) since Lee Atwater.<BR/><BR/>My comment about the Russian-ness of the poster was more about the aesthetics and not about ideology. The idea that Obama is a Marxist is as laughably senseless as the misrepresentation of him as a Muslim, and just as targeted to play to old prejudices. Pressing the "commie" button is as absurd as "playing the race card."<BR/><BR/>But thanks for reading and commenting.<BR/><BR/>--BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898427861108335509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706678653651301316.post-64363040683798069192008-06-06T09:27:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:27:00.000-07:00Just a follow-up: seeing as my comment did get pos...Just a follow-up: seeing as my comment did get posted, I now realize it was my own technical glitch that prevented my previous comments from being posted. My apologies!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on a very nice site -- it's a pleasure to visit.<BR/>~Voice of ReasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706678653651301316.post-91342995108142926222008-06-06T09:13:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:13:00.000-07:00The poster does send a bit of a chill down the spi...The poster does send a bit of a chill down the spine. Your observation that it harkens back to early 20th century Russia is spot on with Obama's Marxist philosophy. Obama's nomination is a long-overdue milestone in our history (women will have to wait a little longer!), but please don't play the race card already. People can criticize the candidate's philosophies and politics, but that doesn't mean such critics are racists. If you want racism, you need look no further than what has been preached at Mr. Obama's "former" church.<BR/><BR/>~Voice of Reason<BR/><BR/>P.S.: I hope this comment goes through. I've tried numerous times to post comments on this site, but for some reason they don't get posted. I'll chalk it up to technical difficulties, not censorship. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706678653651301316.post-72344957152732233422008-06-05T22:45:00.000-07:002008-06-05T22:45:00.000-07:00Well this one reminds me of Bob Marley.
