Then why didn't they have him sailing around on his Dumbo ears instead of using every stereotype likely to inflame the yahoos. They maybe ain't too thrilled about their candidate getting knocked out of the race, eh?   Cynique "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Cynique Post Number: 12470 Registered: 01-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

The only misstep the New Yorker made was that they didn't realize that Black folks are among the Yahoos out there.   Chrishayden "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Chrishayden Post Number: 7196 Registered: 03-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

They succeeded brilliantly. Obama might be leaving the country cuz it done got too hot)
