Low Information Voters = Racists
Posted on October 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pm by CordeiroNewsweak’s Jonathan Alter has come up with a new codename for white redneck racists who will vote against the anointed Obamessiah solely based on his race: the Low Information Voters or LIVs.
Looking into his cloudy racist crystal ball, Alter sees a possible (but highly unlikely) scenario that could (but most likely won’t) play out in eight days that might (but really wouldn’t dare) hand the Presidency to John McCain and leave the Crown Prince of Hope and Change to join Algore and John “Lurch” Kerry in the Also Ran Club.
According to Alter’s worst-case scenario, Florida votes a majority for McCain bolstered by
the critical I-4 corridor near Tampa and in the Panhandle, where the astonishing Republican margins among whites could be attributed only to race.
Yep. All you old white geezers down there along the Florida Panhandle - you’re all a bunch of scared racists.
In the Old Dominion, commonly known as Virginia, Obama wins big in the purple tinged counties of Northern Virginia, but loses out to the
huge McCain margin among whites farther south. They weren’t the racists of their parents’ generation, but they weren’t quite ready to vote for the unthinkable, either.
So all you southern rednecks down there south of Fredericksburg, y’all aren’t nearly the racists your momma and daddy were, but y’all are still too racist to vote for the personification of Hope and Change.
McCain seals the deal with Colorado and New Hampshire, evidently both of those states also unwilling to “vote for the unthinkable”.
So, let’s review, shall we? If you vote for McCain over the anointed Obamessiah, you’re not only racist, but you’re also a stupid, uninformed redneck without any common sense or decency. Those aren’t my words, dear reader, that’s what Jonathan Alter thinks:
Democrats are despairing over the results, fearing they might never view their country in the same light again. Even many Republicans are subdued at the news of McCain’s victory. Having expected him to lose, they know the GOP has now completed a sorry transition from the party of Lincoln to the party of cynicism. McCain, they’re reasoning, might prove a fine president, but it shouldn’t have happened like this.
It probably won’t. Millions of people in the rest of the world assume that Barack Obama cannot be elected because he is black. They assume that the original sin of American history—enshrined in our Constitution—cannot be transcended. I go into next week’s election with a different assumption—that the common sense and decency of the American people will prove the skeptics wrong.
I don’t hold any illusions as to what a tough comeback – something just short of miraculous – that a John McCain victory would be. I’d really like Steven Stark’s nightmare to become reality. What I am getting tired of is beltway echo chamber liberals masquerading as unbiased journalists telling me I’m a racists because I won’t support their anointed Obamessiah.
I have my personal reasons for voting for John McCain.
Ok, maybe I just really want McCain to win so I can see Keith Olbmerman’s head explode on live televsion. There. I said it.

Me too Cordiero… apparently I’m a racist too.
Am I supposed to feel scared or guilty at the prospect of being called a racist? This is so stupid.
I don’t know anyone who thinks the color of a man’s skin disqualifies him from being President. Oh, I know plenty of people who are prejudiced about different ethnic groups (regardless of skin color). Now, I won’t defend prejudice, but if people looked at the color of Obama’s skin and thought, “Oh, he’s an anti-white, anti-rich, anti-suburb, anti-rural, anti-business, take from the have’s and give to the have-not’s type, would they really have jumped to the wrong conclusion? (Again, shame on them for prejudice, but did it mislead them?)
This kind of an article is merely a set-up to explain away any possibility of an Obama loss. I cannot account for everyone in FL, or VA, or even in my own OH, but I am white and I am not a racist, and I would thank others to resist telling me my own motivations.
If McCain wins, but I voted for Barr, am I still a racist?
Yes, because Bob Barr is white.
How about if we took the same phrase: “the critical I-4 corridor near Tampa and in the Panhandle, where the astonishing Republican margins among whites could be attributed only to race.”
and changed it just a little: “the critical I-95 corridor near NEWARK and in PHILADELPHIA, where the astonishing DEMOCRAT margins among BLACKS could be attributed only to race.”
Now then, is one mo’ (more) or less racist than the other?
Whodat is mostly concerned with the color GREEN and keeping as much of it as possible…
Slavery is not “enshrined” in our constitution, in fact it is not mentioned one time in the document.
-Another McCain supporting racist.
Well, I’d wave my confederate flag hanging in my truck and belch out a rebel yell, but my gun rack’s in the way and my KKK robe is hanging from the truck ceiling so I can wear it on Tuesday night at the rally.
So, what is Alter calling the people who vote for Obama, because he is black? Are they high information voters, or just as bad as the people who won’t vote because he’s black? I wonder?!
While I don’t agree with the notion that they are racist, I do agree that many have not gotten the right or correct information about Barack Obama. As I have said before and we have seen at McCain rallies, there are people who believes things that are blatantly false. Some people believe he is an arab muslim socialist, who was not born in America, has radical mentor named Bill Ayers who is still bombing today, and a manchurian candidate who seeks to destroy America. All of things would be ridiculous to suggest toward any other candidate for this office.
There are people at Obama rallies that believes things that are blatanly false…
-Obama will give 95% of Americans a tax cut when we know 40% don’t even pay taxes.
-98% of small business will not be part of the 250K that has their tax increases. When, in reality, he counts people that report income from part time hobbies (for selling trinkets on EBay for example) the same as a homebuilder that employees 100 people.
-Obama had no association with ACORN when their is documentation proving he has given them over $1 million and trained their volunteers, which by the way was during the time when they were pressuring banks to give sub-prime loans to uncreditworthy people… which is the underlying cause of our current economic crisis
-Ayers was ‘just a guy in the neighborhood’ when the served with him on several boards and was employed by him
-He never heard Rev. Wright say anything racist or anti-America… oh, wait… that was before he admitted he may have heard something like that a couple of times
-He’s pro-choice, but forgets to tell people that he voted for leaving babies on the table to die who were born alive after an attempted abortion
-He faile to mention that he’s planning to raise the social security/Medicare tax rate from 2.9% to 15.3%
Shall I keep going?
Walking into the grocery store Sat. I walked past the little old ladies handing out McCain literature & info on the Palin rallies held on Mon. here in VA. An older black gentleman asked for as many pamphlets as he could get. The lady told him she wouldn’t give them to him because he was going to throw them away. When he asked why he’d throw them away, she said, “Because you’re going to vote for Obama!” I could hear him from 30 yds. away shout, “I am NOT VOTING for that…BARACK OBAMA!”
I am not sure who to feel most sorry for. However, the irony is–the white woman and black guy are both voting for the same white guy and everyone is giving us crap because they think we are both racist!
Again the Liberals pull the Race Card. I am so sick and tired of this BS. Want me to be a racist? Keep talking that way about my beliefs.
