I'm putting this in here because it loosely involves presidential politics:

While at work my dad had an elderly lady customer approach him about something. They got to friendly chit-chatting and she mentioned how her husband used to "mix these chemicals by hand when he was a farmer. Now he's got lukemia...just didn't know about that stuff back then."
My dad makes an off the collar remark in response: "Yeah, it's kind of like the stuff with lead and the tainted pet food that came in from China...stuff we just didn't know about."

her next comment...
"Yeah, and boy I'll tell ya'. If that nigger gets in office he'll let all those AIDS niggers in this country and then AIDS will be everywhere! And just as bad if she gets in there...we'll all go to hell if she gets elected."

My father then said "Ok..." rolled his eyes, and walked away.

Fucking MORONS...

AIDS-Nigger...... (adds to his daily vernacular)

...I've also seen the same about wanting to vote for McCain because he's A.) White and B.) male.
Well, seen the same in real life, not on TV.

you have actually heard a person say "I am voting for McCain because he's a white male"?

Yep, mainly overheard it said by people while walking around in Market-Street. Lots were old people, though a couple were pop-collar frat types.

Ahh

[chook]

I argued in support of Obama today with my coworkers. They said he has a secret adgenda, but I think he just wants to get elected and has no real plan.

still voting McCain.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

BOSTON - Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The coffee and baked goods chain said the ad that began appearing online May 7 was pulled over the past weekend because "the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee."

In the spot, Ray holds an iced coffee while standing in front of trees with pink blossoms.

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf wrapped around her looked like a kaffiyeh, the traditional Arab headdress. Critics who fueled online complaints about the ad in blogs say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The kaffiyeh, Malkin wrote in a column posted online last Friday, "has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant (and not-so-ignorant) fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons."

A statement issued Wednesday by Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Brands Inc., however, said the scarf had a paisley design, and was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot.

"Absolutely no symbolism was intended," the company said.

Dunkin' spokeswoman Michelle King said the ad appeared on the chain's Web site, as well as other commercial sites.

Amahl Bishara, an anthropology lecturer at the University of Chicago who specializes in media matters relating to the Middle East, said complaints about the scarf's use in the ad demonstrate misunderstandings of Arab culture and the multiple meanings that symbols can take on depending on someone's perspective.

"I think that a right-wing blogger making an association between a kaffiyeh and terrorism is just an example of how so much of the complexity of Arab culture has been reduced to a very narrow vision of the Arab world on the part of some people in the U.S.," Bishara said in a phone interview. "Kaffiyehs are worn every day on the street by Palestinians and other people in the Middle East — by people going to work, going to school, taking care of their families, and just trying to keep warm."

While some extremists and terrorists may wear kaffiyehs, "To reduce their meaning to support for terrorism has a tacit racist tone to it," Bishara said.

Malkin, in a posting following up on last week's column, said of Dunkin's decision to pull the ad, "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists."

Ray, host of the Food Network television program "30 Minute Meals" as well as a syndicated daytime talk show, began appearing in ads for Dunkin' Donuts in March 2007. When Dunkin' announced the partnership, it said Ray would be featured in TV, print, radio and online spots in a campaign running through 2010.

...wow.

Sad. Man is beating baby on the side of the road. Passerbys try to intervene and also called police. Police show up, man still will not stop kicking and punching and stomping on baby. They shoot and kill the man. Baby dies at the hospital. This is a pathetic world we live in when a person won't stop beating a baby in front of people.
