Chicago Tribune correspondent, Howard Witt, seems to have found the villain to blame in case Barack Obama loses in November: elderly prejudiced white people. However, such "prejudice" is not their fault, Witt "generously" allows, since they suffer from atrophied frontal brain lobes. Witt's article claims that such people will be more likely to vote against Obama due to the prejudice induced by these diseased frontal lobes (emphasis mine):
The personality is familiar to us all: the sweet old aunt, the loving grandfather or the generous widow down the street, each of them unfailingly kind toward friends and family but given to flights of shocking prejudice when the conversation turns toward ethnic groups to which they don't belong.
Often the response is a nervous laugh, a wan smile or a hasty effort to change the subject. We assume that old people are the products of less-enlightened times, they're unlikely to change and their comments, however ugly, are largely innocuous.
Now, though, in the midst of the nation's first presidential campaign between a black candidate and a white one, a convergence of new political and scientific research suggests that prejudice and stereotyping among elderly white Americans in particular may not be so innocuous after all.
Older white voters heavily favored Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama during the Democratic primary season, and national polls indicate that group now leans toward Sen. John McCain by 10 percentage points or more.
Pollsters and political scientists cannot pinpoint how much of that anti-Obama sentiment may be related to racial prejudice. But sociologists say their research indicates that implicit racial biases influence the voting decisions of many Americans of all ages—and that, for very basic physiological reasons related to the aging of their brains, many older citizens may be unable to suppress their prejudicial impulses, whether at the family dinner table or in the privacy of a voting booth.
In other words, Grandma's biased outbursts may not be her fault. And Obama's election strategists may want to schedule more campaign stops at nursing homes.
Perhaps Obama can give the elderly shots to vaccinate them to prevent them from voting against him... Now a "scientific" analysis on elderly frontal lobe prejudice:
Von Hippel, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia, has found that as the brain's frontal lobe begins to atrophy with age, elderly adults exhibit greater social inappropriateness and increased stereotyping and prejudice. And it happens despite their best intentions.
"At some level, I would say we should not hold older adults responsible for their racist attitudes," von Hippel said. "We call it 'prejudice against your will,' because we think it's not something they can control."
Well, that sure puts Abe Simpson in a new perspective. However, if Obama does lose in November whether due to elderly frontal lobe prejudice or not, I think there will be a another very obvious illness for Howard Witt to look into: Democrat Rage Virus. And that sickness will last way more than 28 days.

September 28, 2008 - 18:49 ET by hydrodynDMYea, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the possibility that "elderly white Americans" simply relate more to McCain than Obama.
You know, sort of how "black Americans" relate more to Obama than McCain.
Only the former is racist and the latter isn't.

"Let's see, Bush stole Florida in 2000, Kerry was 'swift-boated' in 2004, Obama... um... well, he's black, it must be racism... but not really their fault, y'know. They can't help it. It's inbred. And we can't be accused of race-baiting, because we don't really blame them, right? We didn't talk about race, they did, right? Right? Yeah, yeah, works for me."

September 28, 2008 - 19:16 ET by AgentAmericanAs we draw closer to November 4, I am certain Obama is not only going to lose, but the question is how much...and his fellow-travelers are getting far more delusional by the minute...
Trying to silence dissenting opinion in Missouri and Pennsylvania, his media friends inflating his poll numbers, and his buddies in Hollywood frothing at the mouth is becoming a laughable sight!

September 28, 2008 - 19:50 ET by Indiana JoeYeah, that same certainty has been building in me also. Not complacent by any means, but it's getting harder and harder to envision an Obama victory in November. I agree with the "how much" issue, too. It could be shocking... to some.
The desperation of the left is the best touchstone, I feel. And it's way off the chart!
Isn't it interesting that a 10% swing among one group (elderly) is something to "scientifically" attribute to racism, but a 90% swing among another group (blacks) is... what... "normal?"
Very interesting indeed....

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
What percentage is required?
September 28, 2008 - 19:33 ET by krendlerEvery time I see one of these articles I wonder what the author would deem to be an acceptable level of support for Obama from the white community in order to demonstrate that America isn't a cauldron of white racists? 45%? 50%? 55%? 75%? Perhaps as high as the percentage of blacks who voted for Obama against Hillary Clinton (90%)? Just enough for Obama to be elected? Or perhaps the same percentage that Asian and South Asian Americans support Obama?
What if Obama gets 51% of the white vote and he still loses the election? "Bad Whitey!!!" anyway?
Yes. I think we all know the answer. Regardless of the breakdown in exit-polling: Obama loses and the shrieks of racism will be heard far and wide come Nov. 5.
And of course, never a peep from these race-baiters about the obscenely lop-sided support for Obama by blacks (and not just when he's up against a republican). e.g., Why don't they ask,
"Hey, how come Hillary - a white person - is only getting 3% of the black vote?"
It's like with OJ. If you
September 28, 2008 - 20:46 ET by GrannyGrump42It's like with OJ. If you thought he was guilty you just HAD to be racist, because everybody knows that the ONLY reason a Black man ever gets convicted of ANYTHING is that white folks are prejudiced against him!
They seemed consitutionally incapable of grasping that many people believe OJ killed Nichole Simpson and Ron Goldman. And likewise they seem constitutionally incapable of grasping that many of us find their Golden Boy to be a corrupt, egomaniacal twit that they'd not trust to walk their dog.
Yea and don't bother with
September 28, 2008 - 19:43 ET by GregEYea and don't bother with questions regarding the black vote currently polling at 92% Obama, 4% McCain. Yes, I know Democrats always get the black vote by massive margins akin to those enjoyed by world dictators who claim they're simply loved by their people and that their elections are free, but I digress.
But this year revealed something which was never in play and to this point could only be tossed around in hypotheticals, in which case they were easily blown off, cast aside. But then it happened.....Barack Obama - a Democrat - up against Hillary Clinton - a Democrat. In some states, the margins were upwards of 80%-20% Obama to Clinton, or wider.
And as those results happened, the media was all over it, columns were written time after time questioning this..questioning if people are voting by race and not by issues, questioning if peo....
....Oh wait a minute, no that wasn't the case.
Ahhh, Sociology
September 28, 2008 - 19:43 ET by RHRobinsonMDSince polls indicate that 93% of African Americans (and 99.99% of Dead Americans) will be voting for 0bama does that mean that older AA voters will be even more in the tank for Mr. 0 due to their atrophied frontal lobes?
Back in 1995 a study by Richard Lewontin showed that 74.6% of sociology is bunk ( as he so succinctly put it). Is seems very likely that the percentage is higher these days and that is almost certainly (p<0.0001) due to Global Warming and it's effects on both the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. Pure science.
As the author, Howard Witt is quoted:
"There is no better job in the world than being a correspondent and
getting paid to go on adventures, meet interesting people, witness
history and then tell stories about it all."
Telling stories ain't the half of it. Making up cr*p & calling it science seems more like it. As shown here, you can prove anything with Sociology, it's similar to Global Warming in that respect.
Can't I vote against the 0 just because I despise his white half?
I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. - Robert Heinlein

I was thinking about that "bunk" thing as I was reading this article, although I've never heard of the "study" you cited. But I've known a few "sociologists," and I would say that statistic is, if anything, on the low side.

Jesse Jackson and juvenile-advocacy groups in several states." His excuses for Obama has been years in the making.

Why these theories on racism are coming out
September 28, 2008 - 20:19 ET by nkviking75I see two possible explanations for all these theories about white racism beating Obama. (1) They're convinced he's going to lose and they're putting their excuses out early. (2) They're trying to blackmail (no pun intended) guilty white Americans into voting for Obama.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
(3)They are covering their butts........

Is Byrd bogarting some frontal lobe anti-atrophy wonder drug from other white seniors? Or is Byrd just some kind of freak?

I am an elderly prejudiced person---
September 28, 2008 - 23:02 ET by misterbillI am 75. I have opinions today I did not have years ago. I disagree with the fact that it is atrophy of the frontal lobe. My theory is this:
When younger I did not pay as much attention to public figures as I do today. As I grew older, I was more conscious of my voting preferences. I spent more time analyzing issues and candidates. Then one day as I got even older, I noticed that the number of assholes running for or in public office had increased significantly over the years. Resumes meant little if they did not include "community organizer" or some such bullshit. (I am not blanking out the bad words tonight--that is really what atrophy of the frontal lobe makes one do. So yes, I am far more prejudiced than I used to be, but it isn't a person's skin color. It is their intelligence, their efforts, their kindliness and their Americanism. I do not like people with welfare attitudes. (They are a**holes.) I do not like white people who will not vote for another due to skin color. I do not like black people who like Obama because he is black. (They are a**holes.) I do not like people who will not vote for a woman because she is that. (They are a**holes.)
I especially do not like people who entered public life for the power trip and have the IQ of a gnat. (Point at issue--that f%%%ing idiot Nancy Pelosi.) I would like her to try to save the planet Venus.
I do not like anyone that supports the invasion of this country. I believe their actions to be treasonous, even if through ignorance. They should be put in jail. And , oh yes, thay are a**holes.
So sue me, suspend me , do whatever you think is right, but as of now, I think the a**hole ratio in the USA is about 35-40% right now, and I believe 90% of them are liberals.
I guess in the final analysis, us older people realize that we have a lot less time than younger folks and we do not like putting up with ignorant bullshit.
A lot of us see through some candidates who articulate their thoughts very well, but they are asinine thoughts, most of the time.
Oh damn, I forgot that articulate is another PC word these days.
A**holes!

So why do you suppose in this warped, racist mind of mine, would I think I could support Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Michael Steele, or J. C. Watts? I guess I didn't know they were black!
Talk about hedging your bets!

Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning, you know one time we had a hill bomb, 12 hours. When it was all over I walked up, we didn't find one of them, not one stinking dink body. Smell, that gasoline smell, smells like... Victory.

Voter Prejudice?
September 29, 2008 - 07:20 ET by subman60I find this strange. The only ones talking about race are the democrats. They are the ones obsessed with his skin color. If I don't agree with someones political views, I won't vote for them. Skin color has nothing to do with it. Obama's background, his associates, his terrorists friends are enough for me. His views on this country are not the same as mine. For those reasons he will not get my vote. His skin color is not a problem with me. His politics are. The MSM is trying to make me feel guilty. They won't. I will vote for McCain/Palin. The hate America crowd can vote for Obama/Biden.

Lefties are such racists
September 29, 2008 - 08:06 ET by HockeyKidLefties are such racist bastards. Here in the DC area, there's a company that has two AM radio stations. They've dubbed them "McCain 570" and "Obama 1260". They're totally automated, carrying nationally syndicated programming. Well, somebody screwed up the feeds this morning, and 570 was carrying Airhead America. Imagine my surprise to find out I was tuned in to "Black Politics" instead of "Bill Bennett's Morning in America". It's insance. How can these mental midgets say they're about equality when all they ever do is identify people by skin color? I'm surprised they support Obama, because in their book, he's clearly "Latte", or something equally preposterous.
I say if (God forbid) anything happens to McCain after the election, Sarah should choose Michael Steel for VP. That'll really piss off those racist nutroots.
