Colo. Professor Investigated For Palin Assignment

Redneck is a race? Wow, who knew?

As much as African Americans are a race.

The roots of this logic can be traced back to something a four year old conjured up.

As can the ####### you post.

As someone from Redneck Central I can assure you it isn't and people will quite proudly call themselves RN...heck I even remember a huge hit song by Gretchen Wilson not that long ago titled "Redneck Woman."

exactly

redneck is a derogatory term used describe hillbilly white folks...so yes it is racist. by your logic the N word isn't racist coz some proudly call themselves it & there are many 'hit songs' w/ people calling themselves the N word. one of my all time fav hip-hop groups N.W.A. comes to mind.

Islam is a religion, moron, not a race.

There are white Muslims you know.

lol really? i never knew that, i've never been allowed outside before

Maybe alien hacked into your account and wrote this ####### himself.

of course its not racist for people to spread rumours that obama is a muslim?

The above must have been insinuating something else then.

When you're running scared from being criticized and feel a need to defend your race from nothing it is.

You're only responsible for what you say and do. As am I. I am not responsible for this college teacher, nor is there any burden of proof for me to defend him, or justify myself with ####### for tat articles.

As for lack of respect - again, I'm not the one stereotyping. But it does seem clear at this point that you are simply incapable of viewing the world any other way.

Gezzz... Enough with the anything is a stereotype that is against my views.

Well it is blatant stereotyping. Again I don't see the need to defend or react to something simply because Kaydee (or you) feel that I must.

That's it, you got it 'bro'..

I went to the gutter?

I was simply wondering why you added that argumentative subtitle to that article... I mean... I really don't have any responsibility whatsoever for that teacher or his assignment, nor do I think using it as a pretext to attack a branch of ideology is particularly sound reasoning.

Of course - its par for the course to claim that I'm no better than you, because you need that to justify what you're doing. I must have missed where I went out of my way to make rampant generalizations about Conservative types.

You're only responsible for what you say and do. As am I. I am not responsible for this college teacher, nor is there any burden of proof for me to defend him, or justify myself with ####### for tat articles.

Thanks for proving me right again...You don't read, and through innuendo slap down anyone that disagrees.....

You should embrace your liberal leaning. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Just clean up your act.....

Alien, you are a first class #######. I will not defend a position I don't hold, not for you, not for anyone. However, I will continue to lambast stereotypical 'hatred' posts as long as I see fit. Stick that up your jacksee and enjoy!

Let's all just get along, kay?

Hey, I'm just asking you to respect your opponents, come out of the closet as a mostly left leaning guy, and recognize "classic" bad behavior......

I must be chatting with a different # 6 because you clearly have never been the one to stereotype or have stereotyped the posts and views of kaydee, alien, carolmarc, myself etc..

Harry Targ was the best professor I ever had. Maybe he is a communist? Who cares! His intro to American Foreign Policy was the best course I took at Purdue. I still own the textbook (written by Stephen Ambrose)

Young impressionable minds are easy to shape, no? No doubt if the guy had been a Nazi would liked the guy, too. I don't mind if the guy is a hard-core left wing nut but he better not punish students for asking questions or downgrading them. I've had some fun with leftist professors in my day but a lot of students just buy whatever the professors sells because students are empty vessels for the most part.

Alien, you are a first class #######. I will not defend a position I don't hold, not for you, not for anyone. However, I will continue to lambast stereotypical 'hatred' posts as long as I see fit. Stick that up your jacksee and enjoy!

If you didn't hold that position it shouldn't bother you. You've blown a gasket or something and brain matter is leaking out your ears and possibly other orifices. If you think my post is a hate post you are daft. Having you stick something in my bum won't convince me that you aren't anytihing other than another Internet hot head spoiliing for a fight.

We have already established, in numerous threads, that white guys are the only racists and that anything racist against Caucasians is invalidated due to historical events.

Please cite examples and quotes.....

look at any news pre-palin. every opportunity he had he brought up race. and then surprise surprise, when that wasn't working for him anymore he picked a woman as running mate to try and make it seem like hes not an old, out of touch redneck

team obama has used racism since from the outset of the primaries. When Bill Clinton described his claims as fairy tale, every surrogate from Ted Kennedy to Clayborn of SC came out and accused him of racism. That includes the whole MSM crew too which then acted as if they were TeamObama's Rapid Response Team when McCain equated BO's lipstick remark with attack on Palin.

Here's TeamObama's blatant injection of racism into the campaign when things start turning shaky for them...

here

Why do Democrats think McCain has caught up? Speaking in Iowa City, Iowa, on Tuesday, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, another woman Obama did not choose, provided an answer.

"Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?" she asked in response to a question about why the election is so close. "That may be a factor. All the code language, all that doesn't show up in the polls."

Liberals, not being able to understand why The One we've been waiting for could possibly lose, needed a comforting excuse, and racism provided it.

For example, David Paterson, the Democratic governor of New York, recently accused Republicans of using "community organizer" not as a criticism of Obama's tissue-thin resume, but as a racial put-down.

But if anyone has repeatedly injected race into this campaign, it is Obama.

Meeting with donors in San Francisco on April 6, he famously told them of "small towns in Pennsylvania" and the Midwest beset by job losses in a changing economy. He told of how "they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment" to vent their frustrations.

It is Obama who said racism was the reason he could lose.

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face," he said in Springfield, Mo., on July 30.

"So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, 'he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills.'" Who are "they"?

CNN's Jack Cafferty says: "Race is arguably the biggest issue on this election, and it's one that nobody is talking about." Nobody on the Republican side anyway. Cafferty opines: "The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn't be more well-defined. . . . Yet the polls remain close. Doesn't make sense . . . unless it's race."

It doesn't make sense to Time's Michael Grunwald, either. In a piece titled "For Obama, Race Remains Elephant In The Room," he said McCain's "Celebrity" ad linking Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton "had a whiff of lock-up-your-women alarmism about the sexual power of black men."

Speaking of small towns in Pennsylvania, Grunwald tells of a visit to a Manheim Central High School football practice. The coach said his team works hard, plays with discipline and comes through in the end. "A lot like John McCain," said the coach.

Grunwald writes: "If you're familiar with the code words of the sports world, you've probably guessed that Manheim's players had something else in common with McCain: They were white."

So what if Obama loses? Philadelphia Daily News columnist Fatimah Ali wrote in her column of Sept. 2: "If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness — and hopelessness!"

Maybe Team Obama will provide us with a glossary of code words.

Its candidate's very nomination and rise to fame and fortune belie his charges of racism. Martin Luther King once dreamed of a day when people would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Sadly for Barack Obama, that day has arrived.

Sure Kaydee - that's why you added that subtitle.

When I disagree with you - I disagree with you, I do so directly, referencing your posts directly.

A majority of your posts are spent disagreeing with people rather than discussing the topic. You also have a knack of letting things slide when someone you like and is like-minded with you says something. Yet try to catch others out who use the same choice of words yet have opposing views and opinions to your own. And consequently start throwing out ####### like you are stereotyping.

You do remember the #6 acme rules of forum posting...
