The great white hope

because I knew many would then say it was not racist.

There is no dishonesty in using a lead in to a news story.

Saying that this phrase is not racist would be an example of dishonesty now wouldnt it?
 
google is your friend and obviously we have some libs once again crying racism where none exists....

Idioms & Phrases
great white hope

Something or someone that is expected to succeed. For example, Mark is the great white hope of the international division. This expression dates from the early 1900s, when heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson, who was black, seemed invincible and the term was used for any white opponent who might defeat him. It gained currency as the title of a Broadway play and later (1970) a film. By then it had been transferred to anyone of whom much was expected.

So do you think the lady who spewed this hate in Kansas in referance to Obama used it in a non racist way?


BTW if she is so stupid that she is unaware that over half the country would see it as a racist remark then maybe she is too stupid and out of touch to be elected.

I already said she shouldn't have used the term. She could have used it two ways: 1) in a racist manner 2) in a manner meaning somebody, anybody step up and beat Obama

Only she knows her real intent. We are obviously free to judge for ourselves what her real intentions were.

Do you really think anyone who would use that phrase in referance to Obama could be so stupid as to not realize the implications of the fucking phrase?

This woman is a racist , an idiot or both

Racist Republicans say worse things than that.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- An Idaho Republican gubernatorial hopeful insists he was only joking when he said he'd buy a license to hunt President Barack Obama.

Rex Rammell, a long-shot candidate slated to run against incumbent C.L. "Butch" Otter in the May 2010 Republican primary, made the comment at a rally Tuesday in Twin Falls where talk turned to the state's planned wolf hunt, for which hunters must purchase an $11.50 wolf tag. The hunt is due to begin on Tuesday.

When an audience member shouted a question about "Obama tags," Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

Rammell told The Associated Press Thursday he sees no reason to apologize for the comment because it was just a joke.

"What I would say to all my Democrat Idahoans: Take a deep breath and relax," he said. "We're not going to go out and hunt Obama."

He also told the Times-News newspaper, "I would never support him being assassinated."

After Rammell's comment was published in the Times-News, he said one person sent him an e-mail indicating he would ask the FBI for an investigation.
Threatening the president can be a felony punishable by five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

"I'm probably safe," Rammell said. "I'm not the one that started the whole thing."

Debbie Dujanovic Bertram, an FBI spokeswoman in Salt Lake City, said the agency couldn't comment on whether it was investigating or if it had received a complaint.

"I think the Republican Party in this state and elsewhere would be well served by making it clear those types of comments are very inappropriate," Democratic Party Chairman Keith Roark said.
Officials with the Idaho Republican Party in Boise didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

shoot her? of course not. we would seriously deplete the population of our grat nation if we were to shoot everyone who uttered a racist phrase now and then. Can you at least admit to the fact that this woman saying that republicans needed a great white hope was a racist remark?
