Let me get this right.
The American auto industry is on life support so a politican seen happily driving a pick-up truck is considered a bad thing.
I see.
Oh well.......they made OBOZO ditch his Chrysler 300 for a PRIUS.
I could understand that if he drove a pink Cadilac.....
Hmmm. A state that massively supported the Big 0 suddenly becomes racist in year because they no longer support the Zero...
The logic is prehistoric.
If anything his pickup truck probably scared off some of the rich liberal Massachusetts voters who couldn't figure out what it was.
So they are INTENTIONALLY driving down their readership..........
Getting flashbacks of old Superman "Bizzaro" comics.
A bailout demand cannot be far behind this piece of economic mastery.
Huh, and here I thought a Dodge Dakota was a code for Hispanic gardener/domestic worker in Kerry/Kennedy country...?
And with that we see the left/media's full political debate arsenal on display. Racism. Strip that away and theres not much left.
This is a good thing for Republicans. The left-wing MSM has genuinely gone off the deep end, and they don't even realize it. Only the most naive, sheltered, nose-pierced, self-absorbed first year 'liberal arts studies' student would buy the argument that one's pick-up truck is "code" for racism. Let the MSM keep pumping these narratives. They are effectively killing themselves, and their preferred candidates.
I thought the 'truck' comments were his realistic stand on the environment and liberty.
Trucks are a race now?
Well, according to this administration, Islam is a race, so I guess it was only a matter of time.
Kate time to repost "the Truck Got Stuck" video.
Ya Trucks are Racist because you need a place to put the Cross and haul the gas.
I cannot believe what some people will say in justifying the ignoring of the obvious. I saw the Olbermann rant off on this with his "prove I am wrong I do not have to prove I am right" statements. What a tool, and I really hope Comcast fires his 7M a year for no market share ass.
So my truck is an announcement that I'm a racist?
I see.
But... its a BLACK truck. Do I get diversity points for that?
Please let the Star hire this guy.
The truck stops here.
I drive a white Suburban, I must hate everyone.
The racial thing - is he talking about Obama's election?
The Phantom @ 10:08: No diversity points for you. Owning a black truck is code for slave owner.
Then there's the fact that a lot of auto assembly line workers are "persons of color". I guess they don't realize they're promoting racism every day.
American liberals hold no "truck" with the truth.

domestic pickup truck = racist republican
hatchback volkswagen = a democrat with so tenuous a grip on sanity that they will believe any ridiculous idea, as long as its printed in the MSM (or peer-reviewed science journal)
If anyone know exactly which pickup truck it is that makes Obama feel that he should be getting me coffee, I want to buy one.

I suggest you start referring to it as a 'flesh colored' truck. That may get you some points ... These ultra-sensitive race loons keep changing the rules of etiquette.
So my black friend who drives a white pickup.... Oh I get so confused without a program.
OH for Christ Sakes,
So, I drive a truck, I am white, I have Nascar Stickers on the bumper and GoodYear Tires with raised white letters and I have a magnetic sign that says Freedom is Not Free, and my 8-year old daughter has Hawk and Crow Feathers hanging from the mirror, and all along we are listening to Carrie Underwood.
Jeeezzz, I must be a dead-give-away.
So this adult child man (probably more a Eunich) can proclaim that driving a pick up truck is white man’s code. This must mean that black people can’t drive pick-up trucks. I wonder why? I’m thinking most black adults can reach the pedals, so there must be a law against them driving pick-ups. Or…. The Eunich is stereotyping both white AND black people with makes him a double racist!
He needs to go to sensitivity training or be fired.
Oh.. and if it is true that black people are unable to physically drive a pick-up, I should let you know that I went to lunch with a black guy last week and he drove an Expedition (as do I) and maneuvered it to and from Burger King without incident. The open back of pick-ups must create some sort of problem I am unaware of.
pickup trucks are scary to Dems.
I believe Sarah Palin drives one
Abe...you mustn't refer to your pickup as BLACK, it's a pickup of color.
I drive a Ford Windstar mini-van, I think I need the SDA contributors to come do an intervention on me.
(I do miss our family's 1961 International pick-up though, so maybe there is hope for me.)
Now it all makes sense.

It's the POLICIES, stupid!! Sad to see the lengths the MSM will go to in an attempt to hide the obvious. It's the Cosmo pin-up from the 80's, it's the truck, it's tea-bagging hatred. Heaven forbid they admit that people looked at the destructive polices and arrogant attitudes of the dems and voted GOP.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - jus' when you thought liberals couldn't get any stupider, they outstupid themselves! One glimmer of light in all this may be that people with commonsense will wake up and begin to reject the leftards.
I'm sure the Associated Press has sent a dozen investigative reporters to Mass to try and see in Sen Brown ever had a gun rack installed on his pick-up?
If he has a winch on the truck - does that make him a sexist too?
>>Top 5 Signs Your Car is a Democrat
1. It's a Volvo. (Or is it only communists that drive Volvos?)
"If he has a winch on the truck - does that make him a sexist too?"
No. For that, he needs to have a wench in the truck.
RIMSHOT.
I thought Barry drives a truck, as a matter of fact he likes it so much he bought the company.

(on January 19'th):
Let's see, who to vote for? Brown is talking about this issues while Coakley and her supporters are talking about the sexist, fascist, racist, imperialistic, oppressive ramifications of Brown's pick-up truck just like the one on my driveway.
Decisions, decisions.
I drive a truck because it is damn hard to haul 2 1500 pound bales on a f...ing Prius. When one goes about the process of helping grow food for these lieberal morons, we need trucks. If John Ware were alive today, he would drive a truck, because he was a smart colored man, like Thomas Sowell. In the MSM's Oprah's and Hollywoods zeal to have a black president, they elected a DUD with a communist precondition, good luck with that America, hope and change Che Guevara style. Should have done your homework, we Canadians will pay forever for the idiots that elected Peeair Turdeau. Never believe the MSM, lesson 1.
The only car Obamaaaaa should have is the Smartcar. It will so...leftist...right. The mean Green Machine, the new sign of the looney left.
No truck nor trade with the anti-cap&trade crowd.
I drive a black, diesel, dually with a custom pipe and racks. I;m afraid to ask what this means.

Volvo,vulva. Obviously your volvo remark is 'code' for misogyny. You sexist pig.
Syncro @ 3:22
I hate to tell you but black is code for slave owner; diesel is code for luddite; dually is code for anal retentive (four wheels just not enough for ya?); custom pipe-obvious code for homosexual; and custom racks is code for cross-dresser.
You in big trouble, boy.
SNAP! I was afraid of that.

OK...so what does silver "bulls-balls" dangling off the rear bumper signify?
What a confusing week. On Sunday Obama said, "anybody can buy a pickup truck." I figured he was lowering the prices on trucks built at his GM and Dodge plants so indeed anyone could buy one.
Now a pickup truck is a racist code and I'm in trouble with the ACLU and CHRC.
Glengarian
The first time I saw a set of those was on a Dodge Durango here in Calgary. Wondering who would have the balls to drive around with a chrome set dangling we pulled along side to scope out the occupants.
The large cowboy in the passenger seat did not appreciate the truck load of construction workers LOA's off. The petite gal driving the Durango did however crack a faint smile.

It is a fact that the likes of Olhbermman and his ilk are really soooooooo stupid that they don't know that they are STUPID!
Now, if I drive a white truck does that make me an even bigger racist?
Being that the boys in the hood like to steal cars rather than trucks - is that part of the reason why I'm a racist if I drive a truck? You see if everyone drove trucks instead of cars then the hood gangs would be forced to be stealing only trucks. So if that happened maybe I wouldn't be a racist anymore.
You see - there are solutions to every problem. I just solved one - the laws should be changed so that everyone has to drive only trucks.
More stupid than offensive.
What's next? Tea leaves?
I drive the 2009 GAIACrusher XL - 1200 HP of pure methane-fueled power. And with the Move-It© bulldozer blade and a couple of anti-Prius attachments, I can drive in any damn lane I like.
I drive a Tractor-trailer that gets 6mpg (cause emissions rules brought down the fuel efficiency) bringing you the things you want and need.
What does that make me?
liberals are gonna look soooooo funny walking around naked scrounging for fruits and berries after using pine needles to wipe their a**es.
