Why do so many on the left make the presidential race about skin color?

Knock yourself out, Pimp. You should choose your avatars more carefully if you don't want people asking questions.

My avatar is of my cat. Easily explained. Yours? 'Screaming at liberals'?

It's a long way down, Pimp.

I challenge him to show me where my language is as foul as what he posted above. He will not be ble to do so. You are correct in that I do not claim to be righteous, far from it!

are you suggesting that no liberals or democrats or socialists have brought race into this election?

and please cite examples of republicans doing so.

I've already cited examples of republicans bringing race into this campaign .. even though "bringing" is the wrong word because republicans have been using race since Obama began running for the White House.

Are liberals, democrats, and socialists talking about race in this election? Absolutely. In fact, they've been talking about race since Obama was elected because republicans won't stop using it.

Here's a clue .. if you don't want the other side talking about race, stop using it.

yet, overwhelmingly, it is democrats and people like you who bring up skin color in a conversation about the presidential race. look how many people comment that romney is white. you in fact just made it about race by claiming the gop only wants white.

it is like you don't see it is actually YOU making it about race.

Pretending that race isn't a part of American politics until someone "makes it about race" by pointing out the ever present racial component of an election is asinine.

In other words, we don't use code words for race.

The right has made Obama's entire term in office about race .. but you don't anyone talking about it.

Are there no honest people on the right?

Dude .. stop pretending, stop whining.

If you actually wanted to have this discussion you have had plenty of opportunity to engage in it. Instead you've spent this entire thread whining .. just as you're doing now, just as most expected that you would.

You should do the Clint and just talk to a chair. At least then you won't have to run from debate that you can't handle.

It's nice to see others recognize the kind of "debate" that any discussion with Yurt always devolves into.

Any time the discussion doesn't go his way he will make sure the "debate" devolves into more idiotic semantic word parsing or he will answer questions with more questions and when you point out as much he hijacks the thread by accusing you of personal attack.

It's humorous...I can and do have courteous discussions in thread after thread with people on both sides of the ideological fence every day, but for some reason, Yurt STILL CLAIMS I CAN'T HAVE A CIVIL DISCOURSE.

Of course when I point out that's just another lie...he runs away.

/shrugs......only an idiot would fail to realize that since you are the one bringing it up, you are the one making it an issue......generally I don't consider you an idiot.....in this particular argument the conclusion is unavoidable.......

Who brought up the subject of skin color?

Certainly NOT the guy who CREATED this thread and posted the OP...right?
 
. . . and Republicans know that the only way to win is to dominate working class white people, so they blow the dog whistle as best they can.

At RNC .. TWO PERCENT of the delegates were black.

Next you'll be telling us that has nothing to do with race. :0)

you've been telling us that being opposed to Democrats is racist.......you've been telling us that not wanting nationalized health care is racist.......you've been telling us that being opposed to trillion dollar deficits is racist......at this point, I'm going to assume that preferring 7UP to Coke is racist in your view.....

BAC insults me by claiming i can only debate with an empty chair and you claim that i hijacked the thread by accusing him of a personal attack?

your entire post is uncivil. it has nothing to do with the thread topic, rather, just another hate filled rant by you. so yes, i still claim you are not capable of civil discourse. until you show otherwise, i am correct.

can you address the OP without insults?

I'd really like to have this discussion with you .. if you can ever stop lying.

I've NEVER said that being opposed to democrats is racist. I'm often opposed to democrats and I state that opposition very clearly on this site. You're lying.

I've NEVER said that being opposed to nationailzed healthcare is racist. I said its stupid, I've said that it was unpatriotic .. but I've NEVER said it was racist. You're lying again.

I've NEVER said that beiong opposed to deficits is racist. I don't much talk about deficits at all. You're lying again.

At this point, I'm calling you a LIAR.

Grow up.
