Plant a water melon patch? I heard if he won he was going to have a huge BBQ by the pool and we could all park on the white house lawn. Shame.

hahaha. I can't wait until McCain gets elected and this stupid fucking redneck's job goes to India or China. Then I hope his whole dumb inbred family end up living in their pickups in the WalMart parking lot.

These people don't scare me. They're only a threat to themselves.

Unfortunately, openly racist peole aren't found only in the southern U.S. As many of us have discussed in previous topic thread, bigots are found all over the country, in pretty significant numbers. What's sad is that parts of the south still carry the weight of their past transgressions with guys like this.

And since I have to head out the door in a minute, I'll weigh in on the debate last night: McCain was forceful and took the offensive stance, but ended up sounding like a puffing, wheezy, befuddled old man barely able to contain his rage. I really thought he was going to blow his stack twice — and I think he knows he came very, very close. He looked — and sounded — like he fought to stay in control of his expressions. Even his handshake with Obama at the end seemed like an exercise in self-control.

Obama, on the other hand, was a gentleman and did a good job of re-directing the conversation back to the topic at hand. He presented his own policies and opinions without belittling McCain personally. I think he effectively came back with clear answers to McCain's charges — especially on the Ayers and ACORN issues — and did not take the opportunity to attack Sarah Palin when he could have. He was cool, calm, deliberate, and direct. In other words, he was presidential.

'Morning, all. I'll be back later to check on the events of the day. Bless you all!

egad…is there any republican out there who could actually DEFEND this?

It saddens me to no end that there are still people who think they're somehow better than someone else because their skin is a different color.

To paraphrase Bob Marley, I long to live in a world where the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes.

egad? haha awesome.

anyways so did i tell you guys i'm from alabama? ok because let me clarify, alabama is actually a small michigan town. it's on one of those big lakes, they're great. so anyways just to be clear - alabama, michigan. NOT alabama, home to some of the most outspoken lunatics of all the USA's lunatics.

does it help if i say i have a lot of smart friends who aren't bigots at all? i mean, not that it makes a difference since i'm from michigan and all.

egad is one of my favorite words!

expresses the disbelief without being vulgar. but sometimes the vulgarity is justified, so I keep some rude words in reserve.

Sar are you just likening your town to Alabama? I'm from MI and I've never heard of an Alabama, MI.

Don't be silly oily, it's right over there by the town with the Target, and then another town is on the other side of it, and that town has several gas stations. Know where I mean?

Oh, THAT town! Gosh, I can't believe that I didn't think of THAT town! The one with the Target, that's classy!

Its IS and there's no one there talking like this dude that's for sure, because it's miiiiiles away from him, where I live.

Matt, I dare ya to defend this one.

And is it just me, or does the guy in the pic look like an even dumber version of Larry The Cable Guy?

I DO believe in evolution, but the more loons like this I see coming out from under their rocks at the fear of a black president, makes me wonder why their dumbasses haven't been bred out of the human gene pool yet.

Notice how, to make an extra-hilarious cliche of himself, good ol' boy Ricky in the NYT story is photographed wearing a John Deere hat and standing next to a pickup truck in a Wal-mart lot in the South.
As an aside, is "the lovely Run-DMS" intended as a dig? (Heck, whether it is or not, I'm flattered by the attention, Whittle.)
Gotta go now. The farm-implement-brand cap has been washed and I gotta get in my pickup truck to buy spark plugs at the Wal-mart. Everyday low prices there, didn't ya know? And no fuckin' union, either. My kinda people.

I grew up in a wee little town with little to no diversity. I would bet money there are people like this guy there. I was back there this weekend and went into the local grocery store (Hardings, no Super Target for us!) and it was like a scene off of a hillbilly postcard. Mullets, Carhart, John Deere and white undershirts custom cut by their own hands as to expose more of their sickly meth-addled flesh.

Ironic that he's at Walmart, home of poly-cotton blends.

If he so happens to be wearing said poly-cotton blends, he should be stoned to death. It's in the Bible.

Wow. I am gobsmacked and sickened at the same time, yet again. The yokels are certainly coming out of the woodwork, aren't they? Stunning.

Now, that our election is over here in Canada, I can devote my full attention/morbid fascination to all the lurid stuff in the US campaigns. I watched the debate last night, and rather than comment on that, I will say that "poo" took the words right out of my mouth (or off my keyboard) in post #4 above.

JD, haven't you seen Idiocracy? This gem of a human being is probably one of 11 children, and will likely keep contributing his magic
to the gene pool, cause, you know, birth control and thoughtful decisions are for pu**ies.

That's not what the other lawyer said!

GO 'WAY I'M 'BATIN'

Welcome to Costco, I love you

Water, you mean like from the toilet?

They wanted this response, duh. That's why they went to Wal-Mart.

I live in Alabama, & you guys are laughing, but race will play a HUGE part in this election. He's certainly not the only person who feels that way.

no jayde, he's not, and that's what's scary.

not voting for someone because of the color of their skin is bigotry, pure and simple. skin color is not something that affects someone's ability to do the job.

It's sad to think after so many years, so many people are still "stuck" in their ignorant thinking. Jayde, you are right that in spite of how far we've come in some areas, race will still play a part in this election. It's wrong, wrong, wrong. And I think some of these people, for certain, are the byproduct of interbreeding! Freaks!

I don't know why but I imagine this guys smells like baked beans.

of course.

@slicklock#2.. so true. Too bad McCain will have to be President for this s*it to realize it.
