Gun dealers say handgun sales are up and so are permits to carry concealed weapons. Some say it’s a trend that’s a reaction to the war in Iraq.

I say it the FEAR of an Obama presidency….a “black presidency!”.

To be precise, to some whites (typically Republican) the thought of a black man acquiring the most powerful job on earth and lording over them is totally unpalatable, and is causing uncontrollable rage and “pant-wetting.”

“Experts” claim that rural small town whites a.k.a. McCain’s “REAL Americans” fear that if Sen. Barack Obama wins the presidency, he will join with fellow Democrats in Congress to enact new gun control laws (Note: Obama has said that he believes in an individual right to bear arms but that he also supports “common-sense safety measures”).

Now, that’s an excuse…the real fear, is that if a black man ascends to the presidency, these low-information, McCain “fear-mongered” morons, are so paranoid, they actually do believe that Obama will allow blacks to “Enslave Them,” or in some really petty warped minds — Obama may replace the Star Spangled Banner with a rap version by 2Pac, and/or send white folks back to Europe by wooden boat.

Way back in April, Jon Stewart and Obama joked about it: Stewart asked: “Sir, we are concerned that ultimately at the end of the day, if you are fortunate enough to get the Democratic nomination, fortunate to become President of the United States, will you pull a bait-and-switch, sir, and enslave the white race? Is that your plan? And, if it is your plan, be honest. Tell us now.”

Believe it or not, there are many whites who think that an Obama presidency could be a license for blacks to retaliate for 400 years of slavery. Republicans, including McCain have exploited this fear over the years.

During this election season, McCain and Palin are busy stroking the bigoted juices of — The “REAL Americans,” knowing very well that they are afraid of blacks because of how “they” have treated blacks in the past, and are “terrified” of an Obama presidency, harboring the ridiculous fear that he (obama) might sanction and let loose years of black fury.

And, therein lies John McCain’s CORE STRATEGY — “Stroke The Nativist Racism.”

When John McCain calls Obama a “Socialist who wants to re-distribute wealth,” he is talking to the same idiots in CODE. Essentially, he is telling these RACISTS — Obama will take your hard earned wealth and give it to his fellow blacks!

That is enough to get their HOT RACIST JUICES flowing like the Mississippi river. [See Video Below]

When Democratic Rep. John Murtha said that some of his constituents in western Pennsylvania are “rednecks” and the entire region just five to 10 years ago was “really redneck,” and that the history of southwestern Pennsylvania is teeming with racism, the old man was speaking the TRUTH, and he has nothing to apologize for.

Fortunately, “FAKE Americans” of all colors will be voting in droves for Obama next week.

I am left to wonder whether the REAL Americans will start shooting blacks on November 4, when Obama is declared the winner over McCain.

McCain is a hopeless candidate — a sleazy, lying opportunist, worse than Bob Dole.

He is a tired, old and archaic relic of the bitter past of Jim Crow racism.

Teaming him up with an unqualified “moose hunter” is the biggest joke since Indiana’s Dan Quayle. The Palin pick clearly reflects McCain’s gambling tendencies a.k.a “Maverickism” — something he might resort to in a crisis, if elected president.

Selecting Sarah Palin, another opportunist “dimwit” and an anti-intellectual, who attended five colleges before graduating, is an alarming dis-regard for America — after eight years of another anti-intellectual idiot named Bush.

The job of president of the United States requires top-of-the-line smarts, and not “arrogant puppetry” propped up with “beauty queen” shallowness.

McCain is a grumpy old belligerent man who thinks he knows it all, and that America owes him something because the VietCong broke his arms, legs and nearly castrated him during the Vietnam War.

Yet, in a year when the ReTHUGlicans should be running for the hills, he is consistently polling even with Obama, and in some cases he leads.

Why?

The plain and simple answer is — RACISM. A huge chunk of white America still wallows in excruciating and hysterical racism — steeped in extreme ignorance, and far-right “Biblical Superstition.”

Mr. Cafferty posed this question to his viewers last night: Will Barack Obama’s race cost him the White House?

Some Replies:

Jack, I’m a 60 year old white guy who once was a racist. That was many years ago and I am now a supporter of Obama. Sad to say that there may very well be enough ignorant racists who will prevent this man of vision and inspiration, a true leader, out of the White House. — Terry, Chandler AZ

Probably. If he were white and Palin was a man (with the same resume) the democrats would be a shoe-in. My dad is the perfect litmus test of American politics; he’s always voted the candidate, not the party, but he now says he’d vote for a corpse before he’d vote for Obama, simply due to his race. He’s my dad, I love him, but there you go… — Kenny in Va.

No his race is not a factor but his color is, he’s as red as Joseph Stalin — Sarah, indiana

Yes, Jack- If Obama doesn’t win the “White” House, it’s because he’s a “Black” man. With the Economy falling apart and the American people are loosing jobs along with other crisis, and if the American people put their trust back in the Republicans hands again, yes, it will be because of race. Ask the people of VA. — Bit, Alabama

It grieves me deeply to say this, but I do believe it will cost him the White House. People too ashamed to say it to your face will vote their prejudices in the privacy of the voting booth. — Judi Goldsmith, Lenox, MA

Obama’s race won’t cost him the election if enough first-time voters, young people and newly registered voters come out to vote on November 4th. I believe it could effectively counter balance the racist voters (new demographic for pundits to punt around). But if these people stay home, or are denied their right to vote because of home forclosures - we’re in trouble. — Christie, Michigan

Hopefully not, but a definite maybe. The USA is NOW at a major ideological multicultural crossroad. Will we move forward to a new reinvigorated redefined America or live the glory and prejudices of the Past? The real choice, however, is who will structure itself to be the leader of the 21st Century…USA or China? Don’t answer too quickly….nothing is certain. — George Smith, Dallas, TX

Sad to say it is….younger people are not interested in a person’s skin color but many older people are stuck in racism..interesting that he is half white and we do not hear much about that influencing voters…dont you think that is strange? — Annie Kraft, Naples FL

With everything the “RepulsiveCan’ts” have done to working people and the middle class in this country the last 8 years, IF Obama was to lose I would think his race would be THE major factor. — Billy G in Las Vegas

There can be no doubt it. Unless a lot of voters are lying and vote different than they say they will. As much as they want change I believe a lot of whites will not vote rather than vote for a black man. America has a long way to go in actually accepting the fact that there are good, decent, smart, hard working Blacks in every community in America. I’m a white, southern live and let live redneck that cannot stand to see what Bush and Co. have done to our future generations. How anyone with half a brain could let race prevent getting change to DC is beyond me. By the way, Jack I agree with you. McCain looks like some fool just off the turnip truck. — Bill Howell, Jackson, TN

“Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee has called vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a “cocky wacko” and said her selection as John McCain’s running mate has energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama.

Chafee left the Republican Party last year after losing his bid for re-election and now supports Obama. He told an audience Tuesday at the New America Foundation in Washington that the Alaska governor has revived a “lackluster McCain candidacy.” — The Associated Press

I wouldn’t call Governor Palin a “cocky wacko“, but she certainly has a lot of confidence for a vice-presidential candidate who is totally unqualified for the office she is seeking. I can’t wait to see how long her cockiness will hold up when she’s interviewed by the likes of a Chris Wallace or a Chris Mathews.

Palin does subscribe to some wacky views: Opposition to abortion except to save life of the mother, opposition to stem-cell research, vendetta against Polar Bears, believes global warming isn’t caused by humans, thinks it’s kosher to shoot game from the air, belongs to a church that believes homosexuality is a perversion that can be cured be the faithful praying in tongues, believes she can get away without holding press conferences or granting interviews to the press…

Chafee is correct, Palin has energized the “lackluster McCain candidacy.” McCain is so boring and lifeless I’m surprised someone hasn’t checked his wrist for a pulse instead of shaking his hand. Even if McCain had selected an incontinent monkey as his running mate, it would have energized his campaign.

Palin is wacky, but she’s also intelligent, confident and very attractive — qualities the media loves. Of course Palin gets more media attention than McCain, a geezer watering his lawn would draw more media buzz than McCain.

Palin calls herself a “Pit Bull with lipstick“, but a cocky and wacky Pit Bull with or without lipstick is a very dangerous animal. It will be a disaster for America if the Palin/McBush ticket wins the general election.

John McCain announced that he was running for president to confront the "transcendent challenge" of the 21st century, "radical Islamic extremism," contrasting it with "stability, tolerance and democracy." But the values of his handpicked running mate, Sarah Palin, more resemble those of Muslim fundamentalists than they do those of the Founding Fathers. On censorship, the teaching of creationism in schools, reproductive rights, attributing government policy to God’s will and climate change, Palin agrees with Hamas and Saudi Arabia rather than supporting tolerance and democratic precepts. What is the difference between Palin and a Muslim fundamentalist? Lipstick. ….[ more ]

On the Republican “Fundamentalist Intolerance” Mouthpiece — ‘FOX Noise‘:

Asked on Fox & Friends about the “damage done” by having Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews anchor MSNBC’s election coverage, the Media Research Center’s Tim Graham responded, “Not only is the damage already done, the damage continues. I mean, not only are they keeping these people on for an hour a night, they’re adding this lesbian Air America radio host, Rachel Maddow, on every night.”
