This is an “Oh my god!” post on the race card, in yet another ludicrous instance

In that same interview Obama mentions his muslim faith and Stephanopoulos said don’t you mean Christian faith.

Mccain stomped Barry’s ass weeks ago on the race card. He needed the MSM to help him get it in circulation again.

NOBAMA!

Out of college, several of my friends became community organizers and they were all white and female. Does this mean the question was sexist?

The MSM is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. It’s getting to the point of being a comedy act.

And this is the bullsh!t that Hillary was up againt. The media is all too willing to play the race card for Obama.

We are hip this tactic, and it’s not going to work again. I’m partially surprised that they have the nerve to try it again? I guess they figured if it worked on the Clintons, it will work again.

And yeah, of course Obama will say he didn’t hear that. It’s all a part of the good cop, bad cop routine.

OMG, you MUST be SH!TTING ME. NOW ABC IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD?

What, they heard the boycott of Oprah and her numbers are tanking, so they are going for broke?

“Not ready for prime time” is what comes to mind when watching this interview.

Obambi has already put a divide in the Dem Party and if elected I believe that race relations in this country will decay to an all time low. It will also be the death kell of the Dem Party. Far from a uniter Obambi is the worst sort of divider.

Are they all gonna be in the tank for him? If O’Reilly doesn’t nail him over these interviews, we can throw in the towel. I hope Larry’s sources are correct that O’Reilly “wipes the floor with him.”

See post below….but first, did anyone side Biden on MTP? I only saw a few minutes because I was watching ABC. But it looks like his right eye is drooping more. Did anyone else notice this?

Obama Met With Fox News Executives

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 3, 2008; A22

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2 — At a secret meeting with Barack Obama three months ago, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes says, he tried to clear the air with the Democratic senator by saying that his organization was determined to be fair but would not be “in the tank” for Obama’s campaign.

During the sit-down in a Waldorf-Astoria hotel suite in Manhattan that included Rupert Murdoch, the network’s owner, Obama expressed concern about the way Fox was covering him. “I just wanted to know if I’m going to get a fair shake from Fox News Channel,” Ailes recalled him saying.

“Senator, you’re the one who boycotted us,” Ailes says he replied. “We’re not the ones who boycotted you. Nor did we retaliate for your boycott.”

The meeting appears to have eased tensions between the two camps, which began when all the Democratic candidates, complaining that the network favors Republicans, refused to hold any primary-season debates on Fox. After resisting invitations for months, Obama now plans to appear on Bill O’Reilly’s prime-time Fox program on Thursday, the night that John McCain delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here.

Ailes said in an interview Tuesday that he would never have discussed the matter publicly had Vanity Fair not published an account of the earlier portion of the meeting, in which Murdoch sat on one side and Obama and advisers David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs on the other. The article, based on a forthcoming book about Murdoch by Michael Wolff, says Obama told the Australian-born mogul that he didn’t want to waste time talking to Ailes if Fox was going to keep attacking the senator and his wife and portraying him as suspicious and foreign.

Asked for comment about the meeting, Murdoch adviser Gary Ginsberg said both Ailes and Murdoch “had a really cordial and constructive conversation” with Obama.

“They had a frank discussion, aired concerns on our side, and we’re happy we were able to air our concerns,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

Ailes, who joined the meeting in progress and spoke to Obama for 20 to 25 minutes, disputed the article’s assertion that the candidate had “lit into” him. He called Obama “a very charming guy” who is “very smart” and was “gracious” throughout the meeting.

Underneath all the politeness, each side clearly wanted something. Ailes was interested in smoothing relations and having Obama appear on his network, and the senator from Illinois hoped to neutralize a potential adversary and improve his treatment on the nation’s top-rated cable news channel.

Upon joining the meeting, Ailes shook Obama’s hand and sat down next to him. As Ailes recalls it, he responded to Obama’s concern about fairness by saying that “there are opinion shows and there are news shows.” Some of the criticism, Ailes told him, has come from conservative commentator and co-host Sean Hannity — whom he likened to MSNBC’s more liberal pundits Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

Hannity has led the media pack in repeatedly playing videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s controversial former pastor, and questioning his association with William Ayers, a member of the violent Weather Underground in the 1960s. In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, Obama said Fox News and others went after his wife, Michelle, “in a pretty systematic way. . . . If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in and day out, that’ll drive up your negatives.”

“If you’re asking me if we’re going to be in the tank for you, like MSNBC and CNN, the answer is no,” Ailes recalls saying. Executives at the rival cable networks say it is Fox’s political coverage that has been unfair.

According to Ailes, a onetime adviser to Republican presidential candidates, when Obama asked what issues Ailes was concerned about, he replied, “The sovereignty and security of the United States of America, period.” Obama, he said, responded by talking about his love of country and his plans to end the Iraq war.

The talk turned to “The O’Reilly Factor,” and Obama said he would appear on the show before the election. Ailes says he told the senator that there would be no “embarrassing or underhanded stuff” in the interview and that if he had any overall concerns about Fox’s treatment in the future, he should call Ailes directly.

Murdoch has a history of mending fences with political adversaries whom his news outlets have strongly criticized, from former British prime minister Tony Blair to Sen. Hillary Clinton. An executive familiar with Murdoch’s thinking, who declined to be identified discussing private conversations, said Murdoch sought the meeting because he is fascinated by Obama but that the two still have serious policy disagreements.

Asked to assess the sit-down, Ailes said: “I wanted him to understand that we’re a real journalism organization and we’re going to cover what’s there. We’re not out to get him. . . . Neither of us was overly aggressive but neither of us blinked.”

Howard Kurtz hosts CNN’s weekly media program, “Reliable Sources.”

George Stephanopoulos, and the rest of the MSM, would love to push this “race card” strategy. The media loves to divide Americans. The McCain campaign needs to remind America and the media of the context of Palin’s “Community Organizer” comments. Barack Obama started this argument when, just after Palin’s nomination, he belittled her experience as a small town mayor. That was Obama’s choice, his tactic. The parallel in his career was his time spent as a community organizer. (Please someone define that term for us.)
Ms. Palin pointed out that her experience as mayor was at least as impressive and to her mind more impressive as his experience as a community organizer. Obama picked the fight now his pissed that she kicked his ass. Of course whenever someone gets the better of Mr. Obama they become, by definition, racist. It’s one of nature’s laws.

I also heard George bail Obama out after Obama said: “People will question my Muslim faith..” A few seconds later George interrupts Obama with: “uh, you meant Christian.. Christian faith.?”

Obama: “Yea.. What I meant..”

Is ABC trying to sink his campaign even worse?

Listen, anyone swayed by the race card is already in Obama’s camp. All this will do is piss off everyone else, and energize McCain’s base against the unfair insinuation.

sorry. posted before reading other posts.

On youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zQK_EhDhZQ

Stephanopolus then chimes in and says, you mean Christian? Why didn’t he just repeat Muslim, or follow-up the question rather than burp The One like that. Make’s BO look…well immature.

A subtle racial code????????

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is going to end up being the laughing stock of America. How can these douche bags think that playing the race card over and over and over and over again can help their campaign?

Perhaps G is trying to sabotage Obama by raising the issue up.

The media is Obama’s worst enemy — he just doesn’t know it yet.

Notice that when women complain about how Sarah Palin is being treated, they just sit there and call it whining – I have never heard anyone — either when Hillary was running or Sarah Palin — say, “….some people heard that comment as sexist….yahda. Are these men really that thick in the head?

OK. I am lost. Where is the racial code in the community organizer exchange?

I don’t think it is a race thing or a muslim thing. I think, at least here in WV, that folks just don’t trust Obama.

One of the biggest Labor Day events in this state is the annual mine workers picnic. Not this year.

State’s Democratic base may be showing a few cracks

The Herald-Dispatch

The annual United Mine Workers Labor Day picnic in Boone County featured most of West Virginia’s dominant Democratic Party leaders, but it failed to attract a large crowd of people to hear them speak. News photos of the event suggest there were more empty seats than interested voters, prompting the local county Republican chairman to label it the smallest turnout he can ever remember.

Gov. Joe Manchin spelled out the party marching orders in the lead-off position, telling Hillary Clinton supporters in this state that it’s now time for them to join ranks with party nominee Barack Obama partisans just like she and her husband did at the Democratic national convention in Denver last month.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, coasting to his fifth straight six-year term in the U.S. Senate, spent his time at the microphone advising those who were in attendance why they shouldn’t vote for his Senate colleague John McCain for president instead of offering reasons why they should support his Senate colleague Barack Obama.

But nobody was listening.

Good Cop (Obama) v. Bad Cop (his supporters, media)

Are we surprised?

Anybody remember the latent charges against President Clinton?

PUMA 2008!

P.S. Check out the polls. Barack America is scared out of his pants.

They keep putting the race issue out there in hopes they can trick Palin into falling in their trap & she can be forced from the ticket. McCain & Palin need to be very careful because they’re up against bad people who will do anything to win.

As I recall all of this exchange, Palin got hit by the Obama campaign for the triviality and unimportance of being the mayor of a small town of only 9000 people in a remote and unimportant, underpopulated state. She struck back by contrasting the role of Mayor (an elected office that usually comes with budgetary and executive experiences) to that of “community organizer” which is not an elected office but more likely a paid job and usually has no budgetary or executive responsibility but requires the employee to carry out a job description. Where is the “racial code” in that? I thought a community organizer was sort of a social service position?

It’s obvious that the Community Organizer comments by Giuliani and Palin were meant to counteract the Dem’s snide dismissal of Palin’s years spent as a small town mayor. She had a perfect right to defend her role by comparing the two i.e. who has wider and more diverse responsibilities — a mayor or a community organizer?

I just watched a February C-Span video on Texas Darlin’s website featuring Palin and she comes across extremely well — very intelligent, reasonable and charming. Check it out.

Larry should really check his Blog Roll. Some of the sites are pro-Obama spin.

FOX is ALL excited…the NEW polls coming out are showing McCain?Palin are gonna take a “VERY SIGNIFICANT” jump in the polls when released…WOOHOO!!!!

I didn’t watch this week and then Mike said I should in another thread…it is worth watching, I got it on-line, the round table was good…

McCain/Palin ‘08

“In that same interview Obama mentions his muslim faith”
Others that have mentioned the muslim faith today are at the NYPost.

“AHMADINEJAD’S NEW ENEMY: WOMEN”

“IN one of his last sermons before his death, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini warned of “three threats” to his vision of Islam: the US, the Jews and women.

Two decades later, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thinks he has the United States and the Jews in hand – and is moving on the third “enemy.”

Article

Would anyone think this has any meaning in a US presidential campaign where we are not sure of the Name of a major political party’s candidate, his schooling, who got him into Harvard, who got him to the Head of the Harvard Law review (where he actually published-Nothing) etc, etc?

Those who didn’t think it could happen in Iran:

“Women were the first to demonstrate against Khomeini’s regime with a mass rally in Tehran on March 8, 1979 – less than a month after the mullahs had seized power. Over the next decade, the authorities imprisoned hundreds of thousands of women for varying lengths of time, and executed thousands.”

Piln Watch:

Day 10 and still no interview/press conference with a serious journalist, conservative or liberal, for St. Sarah.

This woman is asking for my vote, yet won’t make herself available for public scrutiny? I’m supposed to just trust McCain’s judgement of her when it is clear he’s only met her once. What an F-in joke!

Hiding her is a foolish strategy by the McCain camp, IMHO. If she doesn’t get out there and do interviews and define herself, the media is going to define her.

Right now she is only a caricature who has proven she can read a speech written for her. She seems like a capable, smart woman…why does she refuse to answer questions? What is she/they afraid of? Would we accept this from Obama? Hillary? Biden? Romney?

Doesn’t this bother anyone?

When asked about Obamoose, Palin will simply refer to her hunting guide:

Obamoose are generally the size of a horse, with long ears, humped shoulders, an elongated head and a “dewlap” or bell hanging from the throat. Their “gangly”, awkward appearance is deceiving as it suits the diverse environment which they inhabit and allows them to travel over any type of terrain.

Next time, “Choosing a weapon of your choice” — brought to you by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Have a great Sarah Selection Election.

Obama already has 90% of the black votes so who is he trying to persuade now with the racial tactics he has used throughout this election cycle?

She should go on ABCNews. I think George would be fair to her.

Well, he was organizing in the black community so I guess that makes it racist code. But then he sold drugs in the black community too, so I suppose bringing that up would be equally racist.

Oops, Bambam. Where’s a teleprompter when you need one?

Hey Yall! Look whoe’s name came up on this site–TWICE— Hello Larry C. Johnson. at the top and the bottom
http://www.iacsp.com/iacsp-dvd.html

Here’s some prespective:

Ferraro first press avail: 4 days
Lieberman : 7 days
Bengsten: 1 day
Eagleton: 2 days
Qualye: 2 days
Bush I: 1 day
Cheney: 2 days
Gore: 2 days

Palin: 10 days and ????????

Or is it sexist to ask this question?

Granted her son is deploying in 4 days, which is a legit for the family to want to spend time together. And I’m sure she does have some things to attend to in AK as a governor.

But if she’s not available by this weekend for a press conference/serious interview, that should tell every clear-headed American her candidacy is a gimmick, and she is obviously not up to the job of VP.

Would Hillary have ducked the press for 10+ days?

I grew up in Logan County, WV, next to Boone Co. where the Dem event mentioned above was held. Rockefeller, Byrd, and Manchin might as well have shut the WV offices of the party, because all those Reagan Dems in the state who helped put Ronnie and W in office will ABSOLUTELY help put Mac in. And, as for Bobo the Clown saying “my Muslim faith”? Lordy mercy!! Who on Planet Earth won’t hear about that?! Now he does look like a Manchurian candidate and the press like his total enablers! The 527 ad creaters must be slavering with mad glee! Two gaffe machines vs. Maverick and Annie Oakley! (And what’s that with the barn/stable/whatever interview locale? Trying to look folksy? Wonder he didn’t wear overalls!)

Whatever. Obamabots hear racial code when you tell them “hello.”

I wouldn’t worry too much about the race card comments. That card has been so overplayed, it’s lost its punch. It’s a shame; they’ve set race relations in this country back decades.

The muslim thing is just a reworking of his tired old race card. Here’s the formulation on June 20:

By Caren Bohan

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) – Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.

“It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,” Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid.

“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

He said he was also set for Republicans to say “he’s got a feisty wife,” in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

Here’s the formulation from Friday:

“I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.”
“And I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.,’ You know, ‘he’s got funny name,’ You know, ‘we’re not sure about him,’” Obama continued. “And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’

Dude, give it a rest already, OK?

I havent seen Joe Biden anywhere on interviews either or any shows. Oprah doesnt want Palin on her show I hear. There are 60 days to the election and Mac and Sarah need to be on the road talking to their peeps.
Interviews is a waste of time. It also helps create anticipation for the debate to be unavailable.
All the stupid media want to ask her anyway is a bunch of personal questions, which she should not answer in my view.

O.T. GALLUP just released…McCain 48% Obama 45%…
says according to data..McCain will get a SIGNIFICANT jump Mon or Tue..just on FOX

I’ve been saying all along that Obama/Axlerod are the third term of Bush/Rove. The anti-Clinton campaign. The uniter not a divider hypocrisy. The verbal gaffs. The use of religion for political purposes. The nice guy frat boy cover for a ruthless politician. The Stepford wives. The voter fraud and manipulation of election results. I could go on. Nobody gets this. The emperor is not wearing clothes, people. He created a false self in his books and became rich doing it. They are now selling this brand like rock stars sell tickets and CDs. It’s the end of the Democratic Party. For the first time in my adult life, I don’t think that is such a bad thing.

I missed most of the shows this morning but was struck by the sexism present: “that woman” and so forth. It still seems open season on women, even if racism gets front page attention.

I have a little different take on Barry’s muslim slip. It came in the middle of a discussion about the smears against him being of muslim faith, he and Geoprge had both said muslim faith, so it’s hard for me to jump on it as proof that his heart belongs to islam. I could be wrong.

What it DOES show to me – this guy’s synapses aren’t firing properly. I’ve seen lists online of all his gaffes since he started running. (I know McCain has had them as well- and it’s bound to happen in a long election cycle.) It’s the combination of the variety and number of gaffes with Barry- in combination with his continual aahhhss…uhhhmmmss and hesitation.

I’m not a doc- not trying to diagnose- but he never seems clearly in command of his thoughts. After reading his socialist agenda on his website- I believe he has to mentally work full-time to translate his aims into politically acceptable rhetoric.

For example- did any of you know that his intent is to make FEDERAL FUNDING of public schools conditional on students performing “community service”? No? Go to his own website and browse around..I found that bit of information at this link:

http://www.barackobama.com/2007/12/05/obama_issues_call_to_serve_vow.php

the more obambi and his thugs play the race card, the more they alienate themselves. so hopefully they will just keep playing it. reminds me of the story of the boy who cried “wolf”. the sad part is that one day when there might be an instance of real racism, nobody is going to believe it.

Are ‘community organizer’ two more words now taken out of use due to racism?

At this rate no one will be any to say anything. Including ‘the’ and ‘and’.

The smart thing for Obama to do after Gov. Palin & Guiliani questioned his work as a “community organizier” was to run an ad with the people he actually helped through this work. All during this campaign, we have yet to see any REAL people from Illinois who can attest to the fact that Obama’s actions have improved their daily lives.

For me, that speaks volumes. If there’s anything “racial” about this, it’s that fact that Obama has taken the Black vote for granted and has done NOTHING to help his predominantly Black district.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THIS?????? Oh….that’s right, they’re too busy reporting imaginary dirt on Palin while a whole landfill of dirt on Obama is right in front of their faces.

Does anyone who saw this feel that Obama has diarrehea of the mouth?
All I need is a simple answer. Is this what they teach in law school now?
Biden is just as bad. Saw him up with Brokaw and he bold faced lied and circumvented answers as well.

How Dare Sarah Palin question Barack Obama’s qualifications to be the next President of the United States of America!
As a Community Organizer Barack Obama brought about world peace, cured cancer, stopped global warming, ended poverty, initiated a “group hug” between blacks and whites, taught the world to sing, found homes for all the pound puppies AND cleaned up South Side Chicago!
It’s about time that the Nobama crowd got their facts straight.
BTW, the “racial code” was originally encrypted into the Dead Sea Scrolls where the prophecy of Senator Barack Obama was first revealed. MSM knows of what they speak!

Geeze, I can’t believe Stehpanopolous is now playing the race-card! Is he deliberately trying to torpedo Obama’s chances by baiting the consummate race-baiter into overtly playing the race-card?!? Stephanopolous is simply way too smart to not know what he is doing.

Without question, the three best and objective political analysts on TV are George Stephanopolous, David Gergen, and Chuck Todd. (Carville, Begala, Rove, and Luntz are political hacks which is why they don’t count. Dick Morris, as a pundit, is a joke, despite his considerable genius.)

When the race-card is played, it immediately causes a racial polarization of the electorate, simply because racist or not, no one likes to be called a racist. This includes African Americans who are ironically by far worse race-baiters of this election season: They will NEVER admit that it is they who are the ones committing the lion’s share of the race-baiting. In the past, we’ve seen African American brazenly race-bait on behalf of douchebags, murderers, rapists, crackheads, and what have you, like OJ, Marion Berry, TuPac Shakur, and so on.

McCain-Palin’s attack on Obama community organizing is well grounded on several levels:

1. The statement is TOTALLY RACE NEUTRAL.

2. Obama was a paid organizer, not an unpaid volunteer, regardless of his modest income.

3. By Obama’s own words, in one of his memoirs, he says he did NOT accomplish much, which is TOTALLY TRUE and then some.

4. Obama’s ruthless backstabbing of fellow community activists Alice Palmer in race for the Il. State Senate reveals what he really believes in. To back stab a long time community activists is to betray community activism. Likewise, to cravenly disqualify the voter petitions of 4 other black political candidates, including Alice Palmer, the night before the certification deadline reveals he does NOT truly believe in voter registration drives, despite claiming repeatedly he signed up 150,000 new voters.

5. He was a community organizer for only 3 years.

6. Many within the community where he worked as a community organizer flatly contradict his self-serving version of events as recorded in his two memoirs, and in his self-glorifying claims on the campaign trail.

7. Community organizing is NOT a big job. And as stated above, Obama’s own memoirs says he accomplished little. IF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING IS A QUALIFICATION FOR BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF ALL ARMED FORCES, AND THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, THEN ALICE PALMER AND COUNTLESS OTHERS ARE FAR MORE QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT THAN BARACK O’BULLSHIT.

8. It is Obama and his bots, who are by far the worse race-baiters of this election. Hillary, Bill, Geraldine Ferraro, Ed Rendell NEVER race-baited Obama. Neither has McCain. But YES, the GOP and the corporate media have race-baited Obama.

9. ETC. ETC. ETC.

The above is the full context of the McCain-Palin’s attack on Obama’s community organizing. Since the context is legit, the racial subtext does NOT kick in. Repeat: Once cannot invoke race here.

Thus, to inject race into a race neutral statement, on top of which where the full context is not in anyway corrupted, is to play the race-card.

————-

Note: Not all statements which include race can necessarily be labeled as race-baiting. To say that high profile black celebrities and politicians often play the race card is a statement of fact, not race-baiting. To say “OJ killed two white people and then he played the race-card.” is not race-baiting.

Of course all factual statements concerning race or gender must be said within their proper contexts, otherwise it is race-baiting or gender-baiting. For instance if you’re in the Olive Garden and you see a nice black family enjoying the endless pasta and salad bowl meal, and you walk up to them and say “Did you know that OJ killed two white people?” Then that is clearly racist. Why? Because that’s not exactly the proper context for invoking OJ. DUH! (BTW, the all-black-crime-all-the-time corporate media does this all the time, when they deliberately inject the most RACIST and IRRELEVANT stories about black criminals and/or white victims into the daily news, no doubt to constantly condition us like pavlovian dogs to be afraid, be very afraid.)

Hillary’s statement that it takes a president (i.e. LBJ, Bill Clinton) to pass and enforce Civil Rights legislation; Bill Clinton’s comparison of Obama to Jesse Jackson; Geraldine Ferraro’s (and George McGovern’s) assertion that Obama was lucky to be a black man and so on; Ed Rendell’s analysis about his election against opponent Lynn Swann and the Bradly effect years ago, were all factually correct and uttered within their respective proper contexts. Hillary’s was totally race-neutral, whereas Bill’s, Geraldine’s, and Rendell’s statements did of course involve race.

But Bill’s, Geraldine’s, and Rendell’s respective statements were not just factually correct, they were also all MINOR and off-the-cuff statements uttered only once. And in all three cases, they did NOT control the microphone; they were NOT on stage before thousands of people repeatedly saying “What they tried to do in South Carolina?”–This was Obama did btw, milking and race-baiting Bill Clinton’s comparison of him with Jackson. The control of the microphone and the place (on stage before 10’s of thousands vs. in obscure interviews) is key here, since they spoke the TRUTH which involved race in it’s proper context, but Obama spoke them out of context. Of course, what Obama spoke was scurrilous lies to begin with.

Further, the gists of Geraldine and Rendell’s statements’ are constantly being discussed on the media. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd himself said from reading exit polls from the the Pennsylvania primary, he saw that many whites (Starbucks latte liberals) were indeed voting for Obama simply to get the ugly past of slavery and Jim Crow behind us, i.e. Chuck Todd was talking about Affirmative Action, without explicitly mentioning it, of the most ludicrous kind. Without question, Affirmative Action is a much needed policy still, but for Presidency of the United States?!? FUCK THAT.

What Obama did throughout the Democratic Primary against Hillary was to repeatedly make mountains out of mole hills. No one with a half a brain and an ounce of integrity would disagree that if you make a mountain out a mole hill, then you’re a drama queen. If you do so and it involves race, then you’re the one who’s race-baiting. If you repeatedly do this, then you’re a degenerate race-baiter.

Go figure.

Look what reared its ugly head this weekend:

http://black-and-right.com/2008/09/06/la-progressive-palin-racist

Make sure you read the entire entry to see the extent of the hate of his supporters.

Ha ha, that’s almost too good to be true.

So, what was the context? Was he talking about being *accused* of being a Muslim? In which case he should’ve said “my so-called Muslim background”. They’ll say that’s what he meant, of course, and that’s being taken out of context.

Can anyone point to a transcript? Oh how I’ll bet some of those transcripts will be scrubbed, just like his “typical white person” comment got scrubbed to leave out the phrase “it’s bred in” when describing white people’s fear of black strangers.

Here’s how the israelinsider describes it:

“In one of the most astonishing gaffes in American political history, in a national televised interview with ABC’s George Stephanopolis, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama referred to “my muslim faith,” confirming what so many researchers and political opponents have been claiming, and what the mainstream media has allow him to deny, until now. ”

bwahahaha … where’s that bris certificate … oops I mean birth certificate, Barky?

You know, there’s something else that sounds strange in this interview. Obama says “these guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand.”

I’ve never heard that saying before: “Throw a rock and hide your hand.” Anyone else? I mean, lots of American kids threw rocks when I was growing up in the 1950s, but no one ever said that in my crowd. Sounds kind of … you know … shall I say … Palestinian comes to mind.

Here is the transcript:

STEPHANOPOULOS: You mention your Christian faith. Yesterday you took off after the Republicans for suggesting you have Muslim connections. Just a few minutes ago, Rick Davis, John McCain’s campaign manager, said they’ve never done that. This is a false and cynical attempt to play victim. OBAMA: You know what? I mean, these guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand. The…

STEPHANOPOULOS: The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections.

OBAMA: No, no, no. But the — I don’t think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let’s say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks–

STEPHANOPOULOS: But John McCain said that’s wrong.

OBAMA: Now, well, look. Listen. You and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said that’s off limits. And–

STEPHANOPOULOS: But John McCain said the same thing about questioning your faith.

OBAMA: And what was the first thing the McCain?s campaign went out and did? They said, look, these liberal blogs that support Obama are out there attacking Governor Palin.

Let’s not play games. What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come–

STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.

OBAMA: — my Christian faith. Well, what I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested–

STEPHANOPOULOS: Has connections, right.

OBAMA: — that I’m a Muslim. And I think that his campaign’s upper echelons have not, either.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith — something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

I don’t think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let’s say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks–

BO is seriouly worried about the O’Rielly interview. If you take the recently disclosed meeting between Ailes and Obama, then his using the

““They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

.

Just goes to show he can’t handle the nacked truth. OMG he is offended!

Shiver me timbers.

im sorry the race card isnt just for obama. the costmers at the dollar general check out counter say i gave you a $20 when they actualy gave a $10 and try to con the casher out of the money and if they dont get there way they walk out of the store screaming at the top of there voises that the checker was against blacks.

so many people pull the race card no matter what economic level they are.its a wepon to get what they want.my black friends are not this way and do not like obama and will not vote for him.
