The poll responses also show Obama has more work to do to quell fears among voters like Kirstie Hartle of Rome, N.Y., a registered Democrat who has never supported a Republican presidential candidate. With Clinton out of the race, Hartle said, "I'm Republican all the way now."

She said she doesn't like Obama's name and thinks he has a questionable background. She also said she thought Obama was deceitful when he broke from his church after it hurt his campaign, and she doesn't trust him to handle the Iraq war.

"It sounds to me like a Middle Eastern type of name and whether or not he's born here in the United States, he doesn't seem like, to me, somebody who is trustworthy," Hartle said in a telephone interview. "You can't trust anybody these days, so who's to say he's not a terrorist and we just don't realize it yet?" ...

"I refuse to vote for an Arab to be in my White House," said retired salesman Dean Johnson of Lanett, Ala. "That is the only factor. Otherwise, you couldn't break both my legs and make me vote for a Republican."
The purpose of this thread is not to demonize Obama for his name.

Um Kenyans aren't arab.

There is no topic to stay on. Obama is not arabic.

Obama is not arabic.
Dean Johnson of Lanett Alabama clearly thinks otherwise.

It seems Senator Obama has some explaining to do.

So if Obama's father is Kenyan and his mother half Jewsih, he is Arab?

Is he an Israeli Arab, by any chance?

Refusing to vote for somebody solely because they're Arab is unfiltered and unadulterated racism. Of course it's to be expected that some of the more secluded, old-fashioned voters endorse this nonsensical mindset, although it's completely unnecessary and unprofessional to state it aloud. Irrationally disliking a particular ethnicity is an inexplicably poor excuse to refrain from supporting a candidate, especially during an age where some boast of the widepsread, accepting, nonracist nature of America. As much as you'd like to admit otherwise, racism is still rampant across America, and many people residing in the most "modern" cities within can readily admit to supporting it. What a shame.

And your point is?

racism.
Arabs are not a race. There are Arabs of several races.

What races are these? Arabs are Caucasian.

And your point is?


Arabs are not a race. There are Arabs of several races.

What do you want me to call it? Ethnicism?

You clearly get my point.

What races are these? Arabs are Caucasian.
LOL. There are Arabs who are Negroid and Asian as well. I thought you've been to Saudi Arabia.

Dean Johnson of Lanett Alabama clearly thinks otherwise. Well Dean Johnson is a moron. Any one with half a brain willing to do some quarter-assed research could find out that obama is not an arab.


It seems Senator Obama has some explaining to do. No he doesn't

LOL. There are Arabs who are Negroid and Asian as well. I thought you've been to Saudi Arabia.

Sure, blacks are indigenous to Saudi Arabia. :rolleyes:

Sure, blacks are indigenous to Saudi Arabia. :rolleyes:
They were there before the Muslims were...:rolleyes:

I'm glad you are confident Obama will be elected. Except he's not arab, not that there's anything wrong with that.

:wallbang:

Dean Johnson of Lanett Alabama clearly thinks otherwise.

It's because Obama rhymes with Osama... that and Dean is an idiot.

:wallbang:
S.A.M. do you know what the Red Sea is by any chance?

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/e/ef/256px-Red_Sea.png

Didn't think so.

It doesn't actually, the name is Usama. [oosaamaa]

People from Alabama aren't exactly known for their intellectual accomplishments.

I didn't say his name wan't Usama. I said that Osama rhymes with Obama... which is the Western media pronounciation consequently:

No kidding, I'm familiar with Ghandi.

S.A.M. do you know what the Red Sea is by any chance?

Didn't think so.

Does that have any pertinence to the topic at hand? I thought you were the one pleading PJ to "stay on topic", no? Bottom line: Obama is not Arab, although being one shouldn't detract from anybody's campaign.

S.A.M. thinks there are no black Arabs so a map of the Red Sea is relevant.

I think you're confused between Arabised and Arabs. I speak English, does that make me English?

I think you don't understand that Saudi Arabia borders on the Red Sea and Africa.

There were blacks in Saudi Arabia for thousands of years before the birth of Mohammed.

No kidding.

He's from Georgia.

So what? There were Asians in North America thousands of years before Caucasians.

I think you don't understand that Saudi Arabia borders on the Red Sea and Africa. There were blacks in Saudi Arabia for thousands of years before the birth of Mohammed.

What does Muhammad, or any religion at all for that matter, have to do with the origins of Arabs and their connection to Blacks? It's improper to mention religion, because it's completely irrelevant.

He's from Georgia.
She's from Alabama.

So what? There were Asians in North America thousands of years before Caucasians.
Glad reality finally set in. Congratulations.

So by your logic, all Americans are Asians? Native Americans are Caucasians? What??????

Americans are not a race S.A.M. Neither are Arabs. American and Arab are nationalities not races.

She's from Alabama.

And who's the famous one? Anyway there are exceptions, but voting for a Republican when you were going to vote for Clinton is insane, especially when your reasons are totally unsupported by fact.

Wait, so what is the point of this thread? Obama isn't Arab.

oil as pointed above you have yet to PROVE that your "evidence" is anything other than the OPINIONS of bigots rather than scientific EVIDENCE.

As on the top left hand corner of the page you will see the sites deication to empirical evidence this thread doesnt make the cut anymore than the other one did.

I would call you sandy but as i dont have PROOF of that i cant so i will just leave this at, if you post this again i WILL seek further santions
