How is it different??? They are still basing there vote strictly on skin color. She even pointed to her own skin (she's a black woman). If I said I was voting for McCain because he's white you'd be all over me calling me racist. Why is it different in this situation? I really don't get it.
And, for ignorant, it is running quite rampant right now. Did you also see the woman in the video saying there is no difference in paying for high gas and paying more taxes to fund a socialist health care plan??? And, gas prices are falling quite nicely now, where is the "kudos" to George Bush, since they were so happy and fast to blame him when the prices started to rise.
Back to the race issue......if someone is voting for person A over person B they are voting AGAINST person B. To then say they are voting for person A, hence AGAINST person B, because he is black like her, that is clearly racist in my book.
Also, can someone please point me to the time frame on the original post's YouTube video that shows people screaming "kill him" and "off with his head" and then McCain and Palin smiling?? I have watched that video twice, and have yet to see it.
