If Obama had Integrity, he would step out of the race gracefully, skillfully and eventually he could make an atonement for all those people he okie doked in South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Florida and all the other states in which he misrepresented his record.
Obama is a gifted shuck-n-jive liar, swift thief and sitting duck for the Republicans who can see the trees through his rhetoric.
Thus far, he has called the Color Card, the Joker Card, the Jack of All Trades Card wherein he has taken people for fools who will vote for every Bambi in wolf's clothing. I am tired of his bamboozling.
The Republicans will not be so nice to him. McCain is a better man. At least his balls are based on some reality. And, Hillary Clinton and anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can see that about him. At least Senator Clinton has a chance to go up against someone who will stand up for what he believes vs. what he is told to tell people from day to day.
Okie Doke is the code language Obama used on the South Carolinans to continually degrade Clinton's campaign. The Obama all know that he uses local colloquialisms to persuade his audiences that he is the hip dude. He is not hip: he is hype.
And he is hype because...?
His millions of supporters aren't real because...?
The Senators who have worked with him and who have endorsed him fall prey to this hype and can't see through it because...?
Slander is ugly no matter which candidate it is aimed against. There are valid reasons to support both candidates. You don't need to resort to vacuous slanders and broad-brush smears to argue for your choice.
I don't see that as slender, I see that as Vote4Hillary has a strong opinion. Frankly, he is full of what I feel is just HYPE. And the one's you claim to be supporting him in the Senate, educate here please and tell me WHICH one's in the Senate has supported him?? Did he pass any legislation? Has he been moving and shaking, making America safer, better, more prosperous? Has he helped the school children out lately, or has he just put on his caring mask before the media so he can have a forum to speak.
Every piece of legislation he writes he later re writes, and no mention of this yet in the media...except for the New York Times Front Page this morning!
Actually what is happening here, is open passionate discussions about this man who claims he can now start making change, finally with what he claims is all this experience he can bring to the Oval Office Table, now is the time for him to get serious with his Change you Can Believe in speech. Give me a break!
This guy wouldn't know how to bring a change I can believe in even if he admitted that he has been misrepresenting his RECORD to the public!
I accept you apology in advance, the meaning of Okie Doke is thusly meant:
Believing a lie;falling for a scam;a con-game;untruths;fraud etc.
i.e.; Well we went for the old okie-doke again when we fell for BUSHY`S lies about Iraq`s w.m.d.`s! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph p?term=OKIE-DOKE
Obama used Okie Doke to refer to Hillary Clinton calling him on the Facts of His Record. He wanted the South Carolinians to disbelieve Clinton. He wanted to throw them for a loop so that they would think that she was deceiving them. He deceived them with his own trickery. Then he used the term Okie Doke as a code word to keep his constituents to repeat the she was the one who was misleading them. That is how the South was Won.

I am amazed no one picked up on this.
You know, I have grown sick and tired of Obama posters alleging racism at every frigging turn. The accusations of "CODED" racism are the worst, as they are smears that are hard to disprove, but because of the implications advanced proof of the existense of racism, coded or otherwise, should really to 100% rest on the shoulders of the accuser. I kno wnothing about the poster you attack here, but I googled the term "okie-doked" and can't find references to any racial issues, coded or uncoded. In fact, what I get when researching the term is an expression akin to "bamboozled" or "conned into," expressions both of which have nothing to do with coded or non-coded racism. Skin color does not have to factor in at all when some people feel that Obama has tried to portray something to many people he may not really be.
I didn't say ANYTHING about racism.
I asked a question because I wanted to find out what this poster, who has, in just the last couple of threads, posted repeated attacks on Obama calling him and his supporters "evil", "frauds" "hucksters", etc., actually meant.
Coded leanguage does NOT have to be racist language. Take a look at GWB and his "dog whistles" to the religious right.
Well, generally we have heard the word "coded" used in regards to race quite a bit from the Obama side. I don't think it was too far-fetched to see that in your post, but if you did not mean it to be in racial terms (how exactly did you mean it then?) I'll apologize.
I meant it in the exact way I expressed it in the post: why was he repeatedly using non-standard (or, if you prefer, non-common usage) language and what was he trying to say?
No, you called it CODED. So, the question remains: CODE for what, if not racism, in your mind? CODE does not imply non-common at all. Perhaps it was an unfortunate choice of words, but the term CODE used does commonly imply a racist motive.
Code among people I know means a language which has embedded symbolic meaning which is hidden from view. In reality, codes were used for the spies of kings and queens.
Read the founding documents of our country and you will see that codes were used to pass notes between fighting lines often as in the case of a queen to her general, king to his admiral etc. Code is more about James Bond than Racists.
Racists are typically belligerent, ignorant and do try hard to be very hidden in their language. On the contrary, they are loud about their views.
I am not White Either and I am tired of the Race Card. Sen. Rangel of Harlem stated it precise, "It was Obama who called started that". The African Americans in Harlem knew those old games and they tried to communicate that with the southerners. But in the end, they said things like, "Well they are still stuck in race wars."
Now, I am a follower of Daniel Sheehan, J.D. who gave lectures on his discovery from a C.I.A. headquarters administrator in the eighties who told him that the race wars were manipulated by an elite group of people known as Nazis.
Yes, we did recruit Nazis from WWII. Yes, racism is a fascism. Yes, there are real neo-nazis. But most people are not neo-nazis. And it is not fair for people like my mother who went to an African American church as one of the few "white christians" to be labeled racist. Really, there are a lot of people who have bent over backwards to prove that they are not racist.
Voting for Obama is not a good means of doing that one is not racist. The President needs to be accountable and competent.
He has Okie Doked to the point of no return: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AII2yrwSe MA
You missed the part where DISSENTisPatriotic referred to Obama as "a gifted shuck-n-jive liar"--"shuck and jive" certainly does have racial connotations, and there was a controversy over Andrew Cuomo's use of this term in a discussion about the democratic race a few weeks ago. The phrase is sometimes used in a non-racial context nowadays, so just like with that recent golf commentator's joke that golfers wanting to defeat Tiger Woods might have to "lynch him in a back alley", I'm willing to accept the possibility that Cuomo wasn't consciously thinking about/aware of the history of the phrase, but given how it made the news so recently I'm less inclined to give DISSENTisPatriotic the benefit of the doubt, I think it's likely he was being intentionally goading here.
Well, I accept your explanation, but the Andrew Cuomo example is quite fitting here. The yells of "coded racism" were rampant, when Cuomo was not intentionally talking in racist terms at all. It was all made-up bluster by the Obama code police. I am simply tired of all these accusations of racist motives thrown at good people like Cuomo, Kerrey, Bill Clinton. One of the most shameful aspects of Obama's candidacy and his cadre of supporters, IMO.
I guess you did not grow up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Else you would realize that it is part of a slang. Maybe you do not realize that 'white boys' joined black gangs a long time ago. Listen to some rap. Gangs and slang are intermingled and not as racially divided as you imagine from the past.
You sound bitter and pessimistic.
Sounds more like you are supporting McCain than Clinton. Your sentiment will not sway any voters to vote Democratic, only push them to vote for McCain or stay home. Great job, thanks a lot.
