Anything is better than a lying white woman.

If you’re interested in the upcoming presidential election, CNN.com is as good a place as any to visit. If you’re interested in filling yourself with despair at the state of the American electorate, CNN.com is an awesome place to visit.

CNN’s political ticker, where they track the ebb and flow of this seemingly endless campaign, offers readers the opportunity to leave comments about each piece. The comments are usually more entertaining than the actual articles – if you find idiocy, poorly informed opinions, and bigotry entertaining, that is.

Let’s take a look at the following article on the Political Ticker, dated April 3rd:

GROWING NUMBER SAY COUNTRY READY FOR BLACK PRESIDENT

Reader Bon gives us a global perspective on why black people are unfit to lead:

Show me a country run by a black president and I’ll show you a place plagued by corruption, violence and general mismanagement.

Absolutely, But Not Obama is confused:

hey what happened to my comment?

We’re reading it, dumbass.

Meanwhile, Vig thinks the whole thing smells fishy and is willing to get all Dirty Harry on your ass:

Well, here’s another Obama favoritism - did they poll people to see if they are ready for a woman president? Well, did you punk?

Actually, Vig, if you had bothered to read the article you might have noticed this passage:The poll also suggested more Americans think the country is ready for a black president than a female president. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed say the country is ready for a female president, 13 points lower than those who say the country is ready for a black president.

Big K gets a dig in at all the descendents of slaves who might happen to be reading:

If Obama loses the election, will he ask for reparation? I’ll stick with Senator John.

Debra is just as pissed as Vig, but not nearly as tough. She’s just upset that there wasn’t a reseach:

Why no Research about gender? How many Americans are ready for a female President? I guess that the porcentage might be lower, but it dosn´t matter. There should have been a reseach!

Actually, Debra, if you had bothered to read… ah, skip it.Robert, IL (typical white male) is ready for a black president! Because…

Anything is better than a lying white woman.

Spoken like a true redneck divorcee.Bill from Covington has confused the headline of the article with the poll itself:

’Growing number say country is ready for a black president’ I notice they say “country” why not name the country. If you ask is the United States of America ready for a black president, what would be the answer? Quit playing games with polls, we all realize how easily they can be manipulated.

Yes, you horrible headline writers! Quit playing games with polls that you have nothing to do with!

Dallas thinks the entire thing is MISLEADING!

Very MISLEADING Is there a poll asking if the country is ready for a female president, to be fair?”

Actually Dallas, if you had bothered to read…

Will is another “typical white person” with an opinion:

I don’t think so. I am a typical white person, and I will not vote for that black racist, along with probably 70% of typical white people will not vote for Obama. Chew on that.”

Well, now that we’ve heard from the official Ambassador of Typical White People, let’s end things with some wisdom from Jimmy, who brings a certain pop cultural wisdom to the world of politics:

But we are not ready for a woman president. Look at that commander and chief show with Geena Davis - cancelled. On the other hand there have already been 2 black presidents on 24. Co-incidence? I think not. Hillary is fighting an uphill battle. May be in 4 years.

America is totally doomed.

  1. It’s easy to play games with the numbers, but did they bother to poll people about a woman President? Yeah, I didn’t think so!

  2. What’s scary is that some of these people may actually be registered to vote.

  3. I like Jimmy’s idea. The US should definitely base the presidential nomination process on the relative success of television shows. I look forward to the next elections, when the contest will be between a lonely yet attractive girl who talks to dead animals and solves environment-themed crimes, a seven foot space-faring warrior recreating the twelve tasks of Hercules (in space!), and a WW2 soldier magically transported to present day Iraq - hijinks ensue.

    If anybody would like to discuss production rights to these televisual concepts, drop me an email. I also do political analysis.

    Registered to vote, maybe. Turn up to vote? I doubt it.
