Interesting. You can almost tell from the comments who's been here for more than five years…

An act of children. The rightists of Japan, another group of children, are green with envy…

Helter - All of us liberals in the US military never for a second believed Obama would cut military spending. It's one of the many reasons so incredibly many of us voted for Obama.

Gravitybrakes - With pleasure, a sentiment echoed by the vast majority of my US military colleagues. There was (and is ) no way in hell we'll vote the party of NO back into power.

Well, then I guess I should just be happy that a vast majority of Americans disagree with you.

Gee, wasn't it the right-wingnut contingent on JT who just swore on a stack of Bibles that Obama would cut military spending?
Checking... yes, it certainly was!

As will Obama.
Sarge - Sarah Palin will never be President of the United States of America; true Americans care too much about the US to allow her to that honorable position when she has the potential to lead us even further down the path to ruin than bush.
To you both: Remember where you heard that.

Well, Obama has so far inarguably outperformed his predecessor as President of the United States of America by leaps and bounds. "Unmitigated disaster" isn't a term that leaps to most American minds when describing his first term - more like great success! Heck, if things continue as they are, even you might get with the program.

Heh! Methinks the neo-cons doth protest too much! You don't seem to have as much confidence in Sarah Palin as you'd like the rest of us to believe, do you?
Nominate Palin in '12 and Obama will definitely win a second term as President of the United States of America. Sweet!

Just that millions more prefer Obama, hence his victory. What would you guess the ratio is? 15 to 1? 25 to 1?

Except when we elect a black man (who's clearly the better candidate) over a white man for the office of President of the United States of America! Don't forget all the truly racist slurs dished on by Repubs in the election, gang. People were right to call Republicans racist, then and now; the Republicans are simply trying to limp-wristedly sling it back at us. Yet anothers swing and miss by the defeated, racist Republicans.

More than 65% of respondents in the above poll agree the ad was not racist. So there you go, "mate"!

As an American, I would like to sincerely apologize to the Aussie people for evangelical political correctness like this without using my apology to take limp-wristed jabs at Democrats, liberals, and President Obama.

SuperLib - you mean a tiny minority of insecure people in the US shouldn't have put KFC in that position, period.

Everton2 - To say "The fault is entirely on the offended, not the offender". speaks volumes about an abundance of understanding. The commercial was not racist; the racism was read into it by a bleating, over-sensitive minority seeking merely to appear morally superior to others, pretty much the same as you're doing in your posts on this thread. It's the same manipulative crap people have been doing since the early '90's.
Happily, such malice towards the innocent (such as KFC and the makers of this exact commercial) is being tolerated less and less, replaced instead by open, honest dialogue about real racial issues, not the transparently fabricated "issues" raised by opponents of this commercial. All these fabrications do is distract from combatting true racism; all these fabrications do ultimately is harm the progress of racial equality.
Now, before you get all over-emotional again, go to YouTube and watch the commercial; really LOOK at it. Then, after seeing it and applying the truths I've expounded upon here, you'll see things more clearly.
Here, I'll help you out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTizDcdyly0
Glad I could help. Happy learning! Your new teacher, USAFdude

Everton2 - believe whatever you wish. I prefer the truth. Educate yourself on that before you presume to question my understanding of things.
Political "correctness" is what future generations will look back on ours with shame.
