Also, the NYTimes slandered me a bit today, in an article about racist voters:
“I don’t want to sound like I’m prejudiced,” Ms. Mendive said. “I’ve never been around a lot of black people before. I just worry that they’re nice to your face but then when they get around their own people you just have to worry about what they’re going to do to you.”
Vance responded: “One thing you have to remember is that Obama, he’s half white and he was raised by his white mother. So his views are more white than black really.”
That's actually a Ms Vance they're quoting, who although ignorant and racist-sounding actually works for the Obama campaign.
Also, phrasing anything as "I don't want to sound X but..." means that you are sounding exactly like X. As in, "I don't want to sound like a pedophile, but your little sister hasn't been hot since she turned 15".
