It should also be brought up that back in his city, the law enforcement used pete’s donors to get him to fire that black police chief, and in these same records those people were being racist and imitating ebonics.

Barack Obama, you are, clearly, not getting the idea.

You’re not on some sort of crusade against the evils of…something.

You’re just being annoying.

I am revoking your Great Debates and Elections privileges for one week. You may again post in these fora on 12/17. Defiance of this directive will not go well for you.

There is no way that the gentleman is going to make it past the primaries or be considered for Vice-President. A post with nothing but dissatisfaction with his positions following the same basic thread minus the overt hostility is not really adding anything to to forum.
