Kobe, R. Kelly…Obama?

More on the Sen. Chris Dodd/Countrywide Mortgage $300 billion bailout.

GOOD ARTICLE. THANKS.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I am voting for Senator Obama because his views on things that matter to me, like the war, the economy, healthcare, education, reproductive freedoms, etc, most closely resemble mine. I was an early supporter of Dennis Kucinich but as anyone with their eyes open saw, he got shoved aside early on. So to hear Hillary supporters talking about their “suppressed” “folk hero” is somewhat laughable.

As for the violent threats, I am a white woman with blue-collar roots who has always been very outspoken politically. Recently on a roadtrip through Chicago and Milwaukee, not once, but TWICE, angry white men raced ahead of me (one had a Hillary bumper sticker) to flip me off and yell obscenities. One of them tried to swerve in front of me but I slammed on the breaks. They were mad at my “Hillbilly For Obama” sign. Never before, not even during the height of the pro-Bush wave an American flag made in China pseudo patriotic years, when I had a “Bush is a Punk Ass Chump” sticker, have I EVER felt threatened by a political foe. Sad thing was, these were fellow democrats. I guess it goes both ways, heh?

Watch this

“I’m voting for Obama because he is black. Why shouldn’t I? I’ve been voting for white men all my life.”

I can imagine how people can use these words to justify their votes for Obama, even though they don’t agree with him or like the things he has done. There is a lot that’s wrong with these words, but if one doesn’t dwell too much on it or hasn’t followed current events, I can see how it’s justifiable. You can kind of shut your mind and think, “Well, he’s not that bad. And I’ve been voting for white men my whole life.”

I don’t think it’s right. I think this logic is dangerous. Unfortunately for some people Obama is a source of pride. I feel sad for them, because he is only appealing to them to get their votes. Will he do anything for African-American communities? His record so far hasn’t shown that he really cares.

Great Post. What the ‘Bots did to Tavis Smiley was shameful. His PBS show is one of the best things on television.

Larry, thank you so much for this. I’m puzzled by the African American Obama supporter. Time and time again Obama has thumbed his nose at them. With over 90 percent of the black vote going to him, he manages to find only a spattering of blacks to include when using images of supporters at his rallies. He’s produced an ad re-introducing himself and conveniently left out his black wife and his black children.

Very puzzling. How many times do African Americans need to be kicked in the teeth before they say enough is enough.

Sorry that happened to you…
Just because Kucinich was suppressed doesn’t mean Hillary wasn’t.
So does Obama’s stance on FISA closely resemble yours then? Do you really know how he feels about the war, besides the reenacted speech that no one paid attention to in 2002?

FRESNO, Calif. – John McCain distanced himself Monday from a top adviser who said another terrorist attack on U.S. soil this election year would benefit the Republican presidential candidate. Barack Obama’s campaign called the comment a “complete disgrace.”

You know, I’m inclined to believe Senator McCain when he says the comments of his campaign advisor don’t reflect his views, so why do so many folks have trouble believing that Senator Obama didn’t hand pick the two Muslim girls himself and that it REALLY was just some ill-conceived decisions on the parts of a couple volunteers??

Excellent post. Kudos and thanks for taking a stand! This country is ready for a woman or a person of color as president. It’s about the content and quality of character and the person’s experience to the do job. Period. I support Hillary not because I’m female, but because she proved her quality and qualifications to me over and over again. My first choice is Hillary, if not Hillary, then NObama. We need a qualified president after 8 years of Bush. Really, hasn’t 8 years taught us at least that much. It’s either Hillary or McCain. So dumb, dumb delegates, if you want to win back the White House, you better find a way to get Hillary on the top of that ticket.

Obama Claims People Who Won’t Vote For Him Are Racists: But It’s Not Going To Work

let the african americans rejoice now that they have their first black presidential candidate. i am happy that they finally have someone of their color they can vote for. the fact rmeains that he is unqualified for the job and the nomination was fixed. i will rejoice in voting for McCain.

Because he has a record of blaming other people…

If we had more people like you in our world it wouldn’t be the messed up place it is today with all the racial divides. I love you for standing up for what you believe in no matter the cost. It takes guts to do and say what you have here. Stay strong.

iam0nly1

Good Post, thank you for your views.
I am wondering if people sense a blowback
for minorities. It seems to me that a “grumbling”
has developed just below the surface.

what say you?

Great post! Thanks for your courage and honesty.

You’ve been bamboozled.

* Obama is FOR the war. See 2004 remarks and 2008 remarks overseas.
* Obama criticized the Clinton Administration for the economy even though Clinton had a surplus.
* Obama’s healthcare is not universal.
* What is Obama going to do about education when he thinks the Great lakes are in Oregon.
* Obama supports late term abortions when not even the most liberal of liberals support this.

Again, we have proof that Obama supporters are blind to facts.

The sad part about all of this is that Obama does not give a shit about his AA community! He never has and he never will! i live not far from Obama’s home in Chicago. I KNOW what he has NOT done for his constituents. The man used the AA community to get where he is today and he has never shown more than a passing interest in them since coming to Chicago. I too have heard these same people say that they are voting for Obama because he is Black. Not because he will help them or has. No, simply because he is Black, no other reason. This is SAD but in SOME instances it is expected. Too bad, the one person that really did care about the AA community, was tossed under the bus!

Maybe you should vote for Nader if you want a true anti-war candidate.

Those decisions about the candidates image are NOT made by volunteers.

If you believe that, then Obama deserves a refund from the multi-million dollar Madison Ave. marketers in his campaign.

Reply to troll Havoc: You have no idea what it is like to be a prisoner of war, and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting that link.

Thank you VERY much for this article!!

And it’s SOOOOO true. Many in our community have lost their damn minds over Obama yet don’t really know a damn thing about his policies. I’m not about to vote for another Bush just because he’s a Black Democrat.

Tell us his positions on healthcare, the economy and education that best resonate with you? Is it the free market philosophy that he is championing now or the anti-NAFTA stance he promoted on the stump when he needed to win in PA & OH? Is it that he wants to fix the housing crisis or that his largest contributors come from Wall St/the sub-prime mortgage industry? Is it that he wants to improve healthcare or that his plan STARTS with leaving 15 million people out, and his mentor John Kerry said it’s a “non-starter in the Senate?” And his stance on reproductive rights was also noticeably curtailed and more conservative when he was pandering to the Catholic vote in PA, and will be more so now that he is courting the evangelical vote. Which Obama are you talking about–he changes his positions so often, it’s hard to know which “working class hero” you are supporting? And you are clearly a minority in this group–look at the primary results. The reason Hillary consistently won the working class vote is because people studied her record of delivering for the working class and BELIEVED her. She connected with people–he talks down to us. I noticed you are a GENX-er–no surprise there.

Thank you for this wonderful explanation of sane thinking. Awhile ago at another blog I did a diary of not wanting any more rich white men for president. At the time Obama was my second choice after Hillary. But there is no comparison as to who would be the better president so I took Obama off my list. But I was called a gender idiot, sexist etc.

This has been the vilest primary I have evr seen. Part of me makes excuses for all of us as we collectively have so much ANGER at the Bush administration and seem to be misdirecting it at one’s right to choose who each of us wants to vote for for whatever reasons.

I have said many times, Obama needs to finish his first term in the Senate before he aspires for more, but that aside his connections and friends etc., is disturbing on many levels and America needs better than he to become President. Hillary was the best option we had and we were all thrown off the bus for power. I see the Democratic Party using and abusing the black voters for Obama as a bigger wrong however, than an AA voting for an AA.

I’d like to see you tolerate having your arms broken repeatedly to get you to talk and then see what you have to say. He was beaten daily because of his father’s position. Let me guess that you’ve never served a day in your life, and you have the gall to question McCain’s experience. You and your kind are a testament to the poison that Obama has brought into the Democratic Party. You have become the corruption that swiftboated Kerry in 2003.

But hey–thanks. You just make it easier to vote McCain. As if smearing him will make Obama’s complete lack of military service more appealing. Idiot.

Obama ain’t sh***

If Collin Powell, the most qualified African-American ran for the presidency in 2000 or 2004, no one would give a rats butt about Barack Hussein Obama.

For all the Obama supporters, Obama asked Powell to be his VP and he declined because he knew Obama is a wolf in sheep clothing.

White America, you don’t have to be ashamed to vote against Obama for whatever reason you choose. I am black and think this inexperienced neophyte is a rogue car salesman.

The question is whether or not he is selling you a mercedes benz or a ford pinto (lemon). I know people say you can make lemonade out of lemons, but this candidate is ridiculous.

Trust, there are blacks like myself who are not buying the Obama kool-aid express. I would not buy it for anybody. The DNC has had a hostile takeover from centrist democrats like myself, FDR, Clinton, and Schumer with Dean, Obama and San fran-gay-sisco Pelosi.

Let the McGovern version fall in 2008. All Obama will have is liberals, youth and blacks and probably will not even get 1 state especially if all the dirt comes out on Obama, which will happen.

How is that birth certificate looking Obama? Have you doctored anything lately? Can’t wait to find out if your mother was in Kenya from her passport records in the later part 1961. It will be pretty hard for you to be born in Hawaii at that time in another continent.

sorry this should work

I can never vote for Obama and not anything to do with the color of his skin. His associations, lack of experience, lies, distortions all combined makes a vote for him impossible. He is corrupt. He is ineligible. He is an egomaniac who supposes that he can play the race card and parlay white guilt to get to the White House. I knew he had no character when he twisted Bill and Hillary’s words to seem racist. To accuse the Clintons of racism was it for me. No way. There are many black women and men I would vote for. Sheila Jackson Lee is one of my favorite people. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. Obama is a fake, an empty suit. Where are his state senate records, his medical records, his actual and real birth certificate? Why didn’t Obama want debates? Because they made him look as stupid and empty as he is. He can study a speech and do well at giving it but that’s it. He is a dirty politician, not presidential material. Not ever. This election was stolen from Hillary Clinton, the best candidate. No one said a thing about the sexist remarks and vile behavior of the media or the Obama campaign. Obama is not even qualified to be a U.S. senator let along our next president. Please give me a break. If African Americans want a black candidate then choose someone better than this piece of crap.

I didn’t say I think Obama is a Messiah. I said his views (the big ones–FISA means squat to me in the grand scheme)MOST closely reflect mine of the remaining candidates. Kucinich first, Obama second. Whatever lackluster charm Hillary held for me faded years ago when she threw WOMEN under the bus by refusing to come to the defense of all the impressionable and relatively powerless ones Bill publicly destroyed. She called them tramps and I said goodbye. She lost me for good when she voted for the war. And yes, VOTING YES TO GIVING BUSH AUTHORITY TO START WW III is a tad more empirical than a 6 yr old speech that was or wasn’t as robustly anti-war as Obama recalls.

I’m sorry, you can say all you want, but the notion of Hillary Clinton being a populist champion of the people is rip-roaring hilarious to me. This working-class woman never fell for that schtick even when she threw back shots and bud light in my homestate. You can take the girl out of the Patricia Ireland bourgeois white uppity woman brand of feminism all you want, but you can’t take…blah blah blah…

AND, I guess Obama having to defend himself against the mutually incompatible accusations of being a Radical Muslim/Terrorist/Angry Christian/Atheistic Marxist/Chicago thug/Womanizer/Closet gay is a walk in the park, huh? NO SUPPRESSION THERE!! LOL!

Great post. I would be inclined more readily to vote for Obama if he had helped the AA community.He needed to spend more time in the Senate, try to find his bearing and get some new friends.

The Obama campaign called and I simply told them I wasn’t ready to support him. I didn’t have the time to tell the absolute BS they are putting out about their “public financing” by private people. His reversal on FISA, Donnie McClurkin, his Chicago friends, and his real advisers are free trade economic centrist and his associates are crooks.

And look at your nic?
GENX?
Go figure.

How do you know what Obama’s real strength is in the AA community?

You are receiving MSM figures. The last real polling of AA was during the North Carolina primary. Obama’s support is softening in the AA community.

The moment his support falls below 75% among AA, he will be dropped from the top of the ticket.

What about his corruption, are you corrupt, too, stealing money from the American taxpayer?

Or do you just conveniently ignore what doesnt fit into your fantasy, or what you find threatening?

It’s like you live on an alternate plane of reality, you’re so obtuse, so out of touch, in regard to the truth of not only Obama, but the politics around you.

It’s a joke, you’re so clueless.

Consider it done.

Hillary in August. Nothing less.

Government spying is not important to you?
Ok…
If you’re calling Monica Lewinsky powerless, I think you have some issues that you need to work out. She made a choice. Bill made a choice. I don’t condone his action but it doesn’t make what Lewinsky did the right thing.

Again. What is Obama’s stance on the war? If his speech was that important to you, didn’t you ever question why he didn’t do more? Why did no one know about that speech until Obama decided to run for president?

I guess you don’t really care about public financing or universal health care either huh?

Asked what he thinks of Barack Obama’s political success this year, former Secretary of State Colin Powell had this to say yesterday on PBS: “I’m terribly excited, I’m impressed, and I’m happy for Barack Obama.” You can watch the video here.

“He is putting himself forward not as a black man but as an American man who wants to be president of the United States of America,” Powell added. “We should see Barack as a candidate for president who happens to be black, and not a black candidate for president.”

There are many, many more quotes like this one which seem to indicate Colin Powell has a great deal of respect for Senator Obama. I can send them if you like.

Hey, I heard this story last month with Obama supporters being the angry ones.

Nice try.

!8 million plus voters think she is a populist. We can’t all be wrong. It’s Okay if you do not understand Hillary. The rest of us do and we come in all colors, nationalities, ages, sizes and soicio-economic status.
You have right to cast a bling vote. We choose to cast an informed vote.

Obama Drops Seal

http://www.obama-wire.com

Genx has a passion for spreading 9/11 lies and is a fan of illuminati…heh heh.

Tell everyone Genx..you are a right wing neo con dude.

Peter, are you, with a straight face, implying that the Clintons haven’t been swimming in a shark infested sea of corruption since day one of their 20 year political rodeo???!!??? Get off your high horse!! YOU are the one in a state of denial!

It must be very difficult for you to accept that Hillary has now thrown her full support behind this man you loathe with every fiber of your being and will in fact be fundraising with him. Maybe you were the angry white dude who tried to run me off the interstate.

Why would he say anything bad about Obama on TV? It wouldn’t be professional. I’d take these things with a grain of salt.

Between the kook priest, and the R Kelly crew, all I can think of is pepper pot soup, a treat for my father, made of honeycomb tripe, or cow’s stomach.

(He rarely was able to find it homemade, though, relying ultimately on Campbells, the canned kind).

Being a descendant of eastern Europeans, Polish and Russian, my father was taught every part of the animal was to be consumed, waste not, want not, from the animal blood, to the stomach, to the intestine.

Food supply was extremely limited, they could not squander resources.

Pepper pot was a Sunday morning hangover cure, called menudo when my aunt made it.

Anyway, the people on the front page today remind me of things I find not only revolting, but superfluous, as I never touched the animal innards, the viscera, mostly for lack of interest.

Except in the lab, I was a whiz at dissection.

That’s the same shit republicans (Karl Rove) used against him in 2000, asshole. You fucking Bushbot/Obamabot. I am having a hard time NOT voting for him because of twats like you, keep it up.

You’re saying Obama does swim in a sea of corruption then?

Did barky pay him to say those things? Seems odd.

FISA means squat to you? You mean something that shreds the constitution and threatens your freedoms – such as they are – has little relevance to you? And you think Obama is more of a populist than Hillary? Clearly, you’re reasoning and deductive skills leave much to be desired, not to mention your reading comprehension, as Hillary did not vote to give Bush the authority to start WW III, as you so simply put it. Nor has Obama distinguished himself as a leader opposing the war you abhor. You need a serious history course and more research to back up your rant, as it’s obvious Bill and Hillary’s marital problems are of more concern to you than their policies for the country.

unfortunately, too many people who say this are filled with so little hope that they don’t CARE what Obama supports (they are holding their hands to their ears, closing their eyes, and yelling every time you try and tell them the TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA; others are just myopic losers.

Huh,
Thomas, I can give you dates, interstates and police reports if you like. But I guess it’s easier to sit around waiting for the whitey tape whilst calling everyone else a “liar.”

Lou Dobbs jus said that the latin phrase on Obama’s seal mean

“Truly we are evil” ROFL

I even back tracked LOL

Obama is mixed-race, not black.

Great article. Keep up the good work!

And why didn’t Barky just call the girls up and say he was sorry, they deserved better than one of his stormtroopers saying it was all the fault of a stupid volunteer…a volunteer just like you. Becareful X or you will find yourself under the bus as well.

Thank you for this article..

I have say one more thing.. last year…I went to an BO rally, now I am a non-AA minority, I have pretty dark skin. Unfortunately, I have seen some racism directly at me.

I was undecided at the beginning of the rally, but leaning towards hillary. After the rally, I was approached by a couple of white guys asking me if I had decided to vote for BO, I said no, I would vote for hillary. They accused me of being a racist and said I didn’t understand racism.

I was too shocked to say anything..

BUt these morons made me realise that next time someone accuses me of racism, I WILL LET THEM HAVE IT!!!!!

I am sick of this race-baiting..

apprently, race baiting is a campaign strategey for that racist fraud;s camp.

I will only vote for hillary or then mccain.. I will not vote for anyone who is inexperienced and incompetent.

Where is Obama’s birth certificate?

Where are Obama’s medical records? Is he still smoking? Why are his lips purple?

Where are his records from Columbia? Will he be Affirmative-Action’s 1st Black President…Pundits say…

Why did he enroll in school as Barry Soetoro? Just because Ann Dunham married again doesn’t mean Barry went from Obama to Soetoro. Was he adopted?

Where did Obama go those 3 weeks in Pakistan? Especially in the early 1980s. Wasn’t really a tourist spot back then.

Oh well, answer those Gen-Xer.

You are very perceptive. I hope more people who have given up on nominating Hillary in Denver in August will open their eyes.

Time is running out but it’s not too late.

Most excellent post ismonly1…please send this post everywhere you can think of including Main mdeia. It hits it right on! Right on !

So, help lift the bus off of Hillary so that she can accept the nomination in August.

Don’t forget Rezko. All these things are unanswered and voters have a right to know.

Tokens, get your tokens! Tokens here!

Full support? Yeah, that video Hillary sent me today sounded sooooooo convincing.

Amen.

Now let’s put Hillary back where she belong.

Hillary in August. Nothing less.

This is one of the best posts and threads I’ve seen in awhile. It is filled with content and thought provoking statements.

THIS is the type of discussion we should be having on racism.

Hillary was the ONLY candidate that came to Tavis’ event. I was so happy that it was down here in New Orleans because we so much need media attention still. Treatment of Mr Smiley has been more than over the top for telling Senator Obama that he could’ve made time to speak at his event.

Last Wednesday, The Black Agenda Report pointed out that Senator Obama spent Father’s Day calling black men “boys” and lecturing them on moral shortcomings to appease white voters in front of his daughters.

Later, Senator Obama pulled the race card on us again at a Florida fundraiser suggesting that any republican attack on him was based on making him into a scary black man with a funny name. Dealing with racism and sexism and electing a president are huge tasks for us as U.S. citizens. We should be joined in our efforts to make our country a better place for our children.

I hate the politics of divide and conquer. It panders to the worst in human nature. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us at this crucial time.

I think the AA Community has been able to be bamboozled in the past and the present is no exception. I point to several historical incidents that illustrate the ability of white guilt to be utilized by certain AA leaders to rouse the masses only to find out they were totally using them. One such incident that stands out for its blantant racist tone was the Tawana Brawley case. This was perpetrated by the that racist icon, Al Sharpton. The entire case was a fraud but AA believed him, even after it was proved to be a total fabrication. The other case was recently in the election during the SC primary. While Bill Clinton was stating facts, AA leaders were outraged at the FACTS. This is the kind of outrageous racial bias that is totally tolerated by AA that is the antithesis of what MLK was all about. This kind of black racism is tolerated and fed by the media. Since there are no more journalists that are active in the media, it is easy to put over this kind of farce that parades itself as reporting, and is all too common. Chris Matthews comes to mind and the speech Barry gave in Philadelphia which was so empty of reality, but praised in the media like it was the second coming, is another example of the kind of empty rhetoric that masks itself as serious discourse.

In my opinion, Obama has set back race relations 30 years. Even Colin Powell is rumored to have jumped on the bandwagon. I lost a lot of respect for him when he allowed himself to be used to tell a lie before the entire world. Are there no men or women of principle any more?

This kind of racial pandering might be expected at a lower level, i.e., Rev. Wright, Father Flageel and MO herself. But, what about everyone else? The DNC, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Biden, etc. The list could go on. When Barry goes down to defeat, no doubt it will be blamed on racism. This is most unfortunate. One of the reasons is that the next time any AA person runs for office, they will inevitably be compared to Barry. The problem with this is that the person will have to go out of his or her way to prove they are not Barry, as opposed be being who they are. We saw this with Hillary Clinton proving she was not Geraldine Ferraro.

But, one thing is for certain. Barry will be defeated and it will have nothing to do with racism but with his inexperience, his terrorist friends, his racist friends and his own lack of accomplishment. Racism? Well, that will have to wait another 50 years.

Excellent post. Truth becomes powerful when written down. It takes guts to put into writing your beliefs; for others to read and dissect and rant over. You have created something of power and I hope it reaches far and wide. Those who drink of the kool-aid can only read and not understand. Those who do not drink of the kool-aid, they will know true enlightenment when reading your article. Thank you.

DoroB,
I told you I don’t have an Obama shrine at home, (nor a blow up doll in his likeness for that matter). He is an imperfect human being and a politician at that. This year Dennis Kucinich best reflected my views ideologically, but I’m not a fool and realize that there are simply too many competing views in this country for him to ever be taken serious. He was given his pink slip early on and we were given another choice between two deeply flawed politicians who have both flip-flopped, already been dripped and fried in scandal and whose “exotic otherness” let us know once and for all that as far as we’ve come along lines of race and gender, we have a long, long way to go. Their views on most issues are very similar so we were left with who we most trust to actualize some of those plans in 4-8 years (they both lose me on healthcare, as I am a single payor advocate, but the universal mandate as Hillary’s plan entailed is not to my liking). I chose Obama as did roughly half the democratic party. I am one who believes the republican party helped drag this race on so as to render WHOEVER won, unelectable in the fall. They crossed over in droves in my home state–estimates have as many as 7% of Hillary’s votes coming from naughty Republicans here when she won by less than 2%–with the sole purpose of dividing the donkey party. And guess what? They just well might have!

so what? Colin Powell was part of the conspiracy that lead us into the war in Iraq; maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t have a lot of respect for Colin Powell any more because he was too silent while our and men and women and the iraqi people have died and are still suffering in iraq; i want to hear him talk about THAT!

It was the MSM that turned Bill and Hillary into racists. And now the same MSM is telling you that it’s too late to deny Obama the nomination in Denver.

Do you still believe everything they say?

Hillary in August. Nothing less.

Damn! Awesome, iam0nly1

genx, i don’t doubt that the interstate incidents did not occur, no more than me being flipped off in Portland numerous times while campaigning for Hillary. Nor do I doubt that Steven Colbert received a death threat. I as well always start out Kucinich. I like that he pushes all the centrist to the left a hair.

But why do you have a Hillary for Obama sticker on your car? Did you vote for her in the primary after you switched from Kucinich and now you are voting for Obama. Nadar should be your next switch a roo.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-obama_apology-jun20,0,7865913.story?track=rss

There are more links to Obama’s personal apologies to those girls, if you need them…

Don’t rely on the MSM. We must do this ourselves.

Thank you for sharing this article with us. I’ve read the posts here and there seems to be a common theme, people prefacing their posts with, ‘I’m not racist’. None of us has to feel compelled to explain our vote. There are reasons for voting booths and that is because your vote is personal and private. WHat’s important is that we all vote. I have ever had to explain to anyone why I voted the way I did and I will not start now.

Camping,
My sticker said “Hillbilly for Obama.” Sorry if I mistyped. I have NEVER supported Hillary Clinton and could bring myself to vote for Bill only once, and I’ve never voted republican. I guess neither side is a monolith and it just really disturbs me that many here seem to think Obama’s is.

If he picked them himself, then why were they removed. Does he even cave to his own volunteers. I guess so: They are voting in the general as well.

You should do your homework, GenX.

Not only has Obama lied about his antiwar stance, and spoken out of both sides of his mouth about it, he intends to keep tens of thousands in Iraq for decades AND he intends to make national service MANDATORY for teens and even for those over 50!

And privatize social security and fund school vouchers, nice REPUBLICAN values.

So first off, you are a useul idiot tool on the issues. That’s if you are for real.

But I’d bet my bottom dollar you are a MALE pretending to be female and lying about the road incidents.

I saw the SAME bullshit for YEARS with the Bush brown shirts…lying about losing people in 9/11, lying about serving in Iraq and “seeing” the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

You POS liars are all cut from the same cloth.

I was always hoping that Colin Powell would wind up as Al Gore’s vice president and then later, the first black president. I was so sad when he turned out to be a republican. He’d have never made it through one of their primaries with his prochoice stand. Can’t say I blame his wife for not wanting to go through that ordeal.

I thought he was a great Secretary of State and the only redeeming thing in the Bush White House until they made him push that stupid Iraq war in the UN. To take such a great man with a passion for this country, with such leadership talents, and abuse his training as a good solider was one of the worst injustices of the new century.

I also find it very insulting to blacks to say that they are just being “bamboozled” by Obama. Hillary actually enjoyed a great deal of early support from Afr Amers until she and her husband made a few comments which could be interpreted as racist. Why is it okay for one out of five whites in some states to say they WOULD never vote for a black person?

Zee-
Figure out a way to give me your private email address and I can give you PROOF of my demographics. Way to stereotype though.

Sorry to interrupt but Obama nomination will not survive the roll call vote in Denver.

Hillary in August. Nothing less.

Have you heard of “Democrats for a Day?”

And how would universal health care work without mandates? Do you really think everyone would buy health care if they could save some money not buying it? Premiums would continue to rise until we are back where we started.

Sorry, but your reasons for voting for Obama aren’t that great.

I think most of us here are equally terrified by the neo-left and the neo-right. Atleast with Kucinich or Nadar you know where they stand from the get go. We do not know enough about Obama. The radical school and the Chicago School of sociology are so radically different, both his educational experiences. He is like Bush in that he propped up but big money, i.e. George Soros.

If Obama’s polling numbers in the AA drop below 75%, and they are going there now, the DNC will replace him with Hillary.

Give me a break. There are plenty of us who did our homework on the CULT FRAUD that is Kucinich — it’s just that he’s not worth schooling those of you who did not.

Thanks.

“Again, we have proof that Obama supporters are blind to facts.”

Word.

Only Obamabots who really want to make themselves feel about the blind support most AA have for Obama would say that those comments can be interpreted as racists. That reason is a stupid excuse for voting for someone based on skin color, not character.

Tavis Smiley has long beenone of my favorite people.

Not only his PBS TV show, but I really enjoyed his hour long NPR show on weekends.

He brings humor, insight, love and a healthy since of reality to all the issues he discusses.

Try as you might, no one believes you.

Obama has done more to divide this country than any candidate who ran for president. Blacks as well as whites are using a thug campaign of “vote for Obama otherwise you are racist”. And it does not take a genius to figure out that Obama and his supporters are the ones who are racist.

For some reason an unqualified black man is not supposed to be vetted. The US is going insane.

And what does “change” mean? For a lot of blacks it means reparations and more handouts to them. If Obama is elected he will be expected by a lot of radical black groups to give the handouts. I believe Obama will resort to black handouts to placate the radical blacks and then come out with a speech the next day to try and justify it.

Actually, Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming “America’s first African-American president” ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro – a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama’s great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator’s ethnic composition.).

That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.

THAT makes Obama an ARAB-AMERICAN, not an African-American.

Barack Obama: Washington Post, Chicago Tribune investigations confirm autobiography lies; now asking: Is “African-American” a lie too?
The following article with preface may be distributed. If used, please contact the author before editing and publication. The author has written and researched for the New York Times, the Miami Herald, the St. Petersburg Times, and the Jewish Information Network, among others.

Synopsis: The author opens citing the work of Mr. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post. Mr. Cohen’s columns about the “composites,” rearranged timelines, and complete fabrication of events in Sen. Obama’s autobiography are the basis for a further investigation into Mr. Obama’s claim to be “African-American.”

(NOTE: This IS NOT a rehash of the discredited discussion of either his education in Islamic schools, or any other ties to Islam. His religion, and education, outside of citing his Harvard attendance, play no role whatsoever in this article. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED documentation concerning his ethnic identity claims. It is based upon original research that the author openly invites for further inquiry and academic verification in his preface to Mr. Cohen.)

Documentation of his actual ethnic background demonstrates Mr. Obama is not an “African-American” as defined in United States law. This research was initiated by a request from a daily news publication of international reputation in New York City.

The story then moves to documenting his father’s genealogy. This study indicates Sen. Obama is actually Arab-American. The significance of this is that “the soul and substance of Mr. Obama’s claim to fame” rest entirely on his being “the first” African-American to achieve whatever it is that Mr. Obama is claiming at the time. If Mr. Obama is not legally an African-American, then his claims collapse. While there may still be historic firsts, for example, being the first Arab-American to be the president of the Harvard Law Review, those claims are not the star-appeal of his entire political life, and the basis of his current celebrity star status. If he is not African-American, then he is not what has propelled him up the political ladder; he is not, as described by one journalist riding Mr. Obama’s campaign plane, what is currently capturing America’s “cult” attention.

The author includes a section that notes the double-standard Oprah Winfrey applied in her handling of Mr. Obama’s autobiographical fabrications vis a vis her reaction to much less in a book by another author she promoted. It calls upon her to explain her double-standards, and asks, reasonably under the circumstances, if her double-standards are racist.

The article concludes by citing the importance of recognizing that Mr. Obama’s image of himself is built on lies. It challenges the reader to ask if his or her own racist presumptions of ethnic identity tied to physical appearance are at play.

The encapsulation of the final question put to the reader is to ask, “If we elect a person whose entire image is based on lies, and citing again the documentation of Mr. Cohen and the Washington Post to show he continues to lie without conscience as a matter of habit, should the burden fall upon him when we feel the anger of being lied to, or in fact, is it we who should be the object of our anger when it is we who first lied to ourselves when we decided to accept his lies, knowing all along that he was lying to us?”

To: Richard Cohen, Columnist, the Washington Post

From: Kenneth E. Lamb
kenneth@kennthelamb.com

Dear Mr. Cohen:

Earlier today, I sent you an email about Sen. Obama. In the course of reviewing it for final draft, I made some changes; for one thing, I upped the number of references to your columns. What follows below is the final draft – it varies significantly from the prior draft by placing more responsibility upon “us” of the American body politic for lying to ourselves, and using racist presumptions to allow Mr. Obama to lie to us as well.

With this amendment, I send to you what I hope will be the first read of the article, and hopefully it may provoke all of us to reexamine ourselves in light of the Obama mania sweeping America.

That said, the rest of the email and article follows with the introduction I sent below for the sake of continuity with my previous communication to you. While similar at first, it is now much more pointed in its condemnation of us for lying to ourselves, again, about whom we elect, and why.

Dear Mr. Cohen:

I’m using my real name for this, even though I’m not a celebrity so you won’t recognize it; I’m doing it because what will follow is a matter I’m serious about, and I believe you are serious about it too.

There is a professional reason that I am emailing this to you as well. I use your name in it and cite your columns in five different places in this article, and so I owe you the professional respect of making you aware of it.

I’ve written for the NY Times, the Miami Herald, the St. Petersburg Times, and the Jewish Information Network. I add this upfront for credibility. I know you are flooded with crackpots, so I admit that as someone whose name you don’t know, I’m trying to establish my credibility at the top of this email to you.

That said, I would be happy to discuss the contents of the article below with you. It was a News Corp. publication that I refer to in stating the genesis of the research that follows, although I don’t name it for general circulation.

Again, everything in this article is documented, and I can get with your choice of researchers to have them document my documentation.

Let me close this preface with the close I use for my article below:

“Why am I writing this? Maybe I just want a clear conscience, clear that the research I did didn’t get buried because the people who received it are afraid to tell the truth in the face of Sen. Obama’s frenzied celebrity status. I’ve been in the business since 1972 – 35 years – writing and researching for people like the NY Times, the Miami Herald, the St. Petersburg Times, The Jewish Information Network, so I know what it’s like on the newsroom floor right now. Nobody can dare speak against Sen. Obama without generating at least a flickering flame of doubt about his or her own sanity – not to mention the knee-jerk reaction that questioning him is indicative of some deep, dark, racist agenda spurring those questions on.

“And truth? I ask as Pilate asked, ‘What is truth?’ Who cares about truth? This is history; this is the first time ever in America – why let truth get in the way of chronicling history? (. . . I wrote facetiously.)

“Maybe I just want to know that if he gets the presidency, he will get it honestly – if this is general knowledge, and he overcomes it. Maybe I’m just tired of presidents who lie to us; and in this case, I already know Mr. Obama will lie to us, just as he lied in his autobiography, and on so many other occasions documented by Mr. Cohen, by the Washington Post’s fact checker, and so many others.

“And maybe I’m tired of us lying to ourselves. Mr. Obama is what we’ve lied ourselves into believing he is.

“Maybe by saying that I know he lied, and saying that we lied to ourselves, I will say after he is elected that nobody has any right to complain about him lying after he takes the oath of office, when everybody knew he lied about so many other things – when we lied to ourselves about so many other things, so very long before that.”

Here goes:

By Kenneth E. Lamb

Sen. Obama’s autobiography is filled with “composite” characters, rearranged timelines, and fantasy events that never occurred. I read that twice in the Washington Post – read Richard Cohen’s columns of Jan. 1, 2008, and March 27, 2007, for yourself.

There are more articles than that, by more authors than just Mr. Cohen, but I wanted to get started by saying that what follows isn’t just something I’m pulling out of thin air. What follows is serious, documented, and not at all what those who want to write history about the election of the first so-called “African-American” president, want in the least to admit is true – and why its truth matters more than their desire to ignore the truth for the sake of their desire to write history.

While his shrill wife objects, the truth is that Sen. Obama’s life, as he wrote about himself in his autobiography, is, in fact, nothing but a fairy tale. Again, don’t take my word for it – read Mr. Cohen’s, and others, articles about it.

If what Mr. Cohen writes are truths, then what Mr. Obama wrote are lies. It’s just as simple as that.

Yet there is not one word from the “Last Bastions of Accuracy” that comprise our first-tier information enterprises about the complete lack of integrity Sen. Obama shows with his fictional life history. He lies, but his lies are swept under the rug by a groupthink mentality that is so desperate to regain leadership positions – as opposed to actual leadership programs to earn those leadership positions – that it ignores the truth that Sen. Obama lies – about himself, about his life, about his actions – and even about his racial composition.

I researched what follows for a NY daily of international reputation. It wasn’t what I thought I’d find. I documented it, presented it to the Washington Bureau Chief, but was hardly surprised that it never saw ink. As you’ll see for yourself, this is the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

I must pause very briefly to note usage of the word Negro in what follows: In all academic studies of race, the proper scientific word for the ethnic composition I discuss is Negro. For any who scream racist at its mention, I say take it up with the scientific community. It’s not my word, it’s theirs. I am using it in its proper scientific context.

Why is the fact that Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African Negro not reported?

Because to acknowledge it is to report this devastating truth about him: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Federal law requires that to claim a minority status, you must be at least 1/8 of the descriptor, but for the sake of this article, I’ve converted it to a decimal fraction for easier comprehension. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold.

Again, to let it sink in: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Yet claiming to be African-American is the soul and substance of his claim to fame. It is what he has used throughout his adult life to distinguish himself from other competitors. It is the ethnic identity he proclaims, and it is the ethnic identity he craves. Without it, he is just another mixed race Caucasian Arab with an African influence playing on his skin’s pigmentation.

But no matter what he craves, no matter what he has used to propel himself through life, no matter the racist presumption of seeing his skin and without question calling him black, the hard, cold, genetically inarguable reality remains: he is not an African-American.

Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming “America’s first African-American president” ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro – a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama’s great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator’s ethnic composition.).

That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.

Put another way, his father could honestly claim African-American ethnic classification. He was the last generation able to do so.

Sen. Obama could honestly say, “My father was African-American.” Racist presumptions led an Ivy League admissions committee, and lazy “newspapers of record” factcheckers, to presume that if his father is African-American, then Sen. Obama must be African-American also.

But it doesn’t work that way. Racist presumptions coupled with sloppy vetting don’t turn a lie into the truth.

Sen. Obama is one generation too far removed from the ethnic African Negro input to make the same claim as his father, Harvard’s Admission’s stamp of approval notwithstanding.

As you can see for yourself, Sen. Obama’s African-American ethnic claim, when properly researched and documented, is a lie.

The question no one wants to answer – particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, “Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father’s side have an Arabic name?”

The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father’s side of the family tree is Arabic.

Need proof? Research the Kenyan records for yourself. You will find that his father was officially classified as “Arab African” by the Kenyan government.

But in America’s current political climate, that truth is heresy; that truth is “an inconvenient truth.” It is the political equivalent in our time to what Galileo’s scientific pronouncements were in his time: it is true, but nobody wants to know the truth because the lie is so much more comforting.

That is why detractors of this truth will do everything to denounce it, except submit to the discipline of actually researching it.

There’s a reason for that: it proves he is not sufficiently Negro to earn classification under American law as an African-American.

For Sen. Obama, telling the truth means he will give up all the accolades about being the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, an accolade that relies on a sleight-of-hand in job titling that changed the name of the top job from Editor to President.

If stated in its absolute truth, Mr. Obama was the second person of color to run the Review. He was beat to the Review’s top spot by a true African-American about 60 years before Mr. Obama showed up for classes.

Again, a very inconvenient truth.

That is devastating in itself. The further effect is that Mr. Obama would have to convince Americans still reeling from 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, that now is the time for America’s first Arab-American president.

We all know what chance that has of succeeding.

Of course, that would only happen if Mr. Obama told the truth about his racial composition. To tell the truth means Mr. Obama will have to admit that which he has never been forced to admit before, even in the face of the massive lies of his autobiography: Mr. Obama’s entire projection of who he is, and what he is, is a lie.

Mr. Obama would have to say to the world: “I am not what I’ve told you I am. I lied to you in my autobiography when I told you I am black. I lied to the Admission Committee at Harvard so I could get in. I lied to my constituents in Chicago so I could get elected to the State Senate. I lied to my constituents in Illinois so I could get elected to the US Senate. I lied to my supporters across America so I could be President.

“I have lied all during my life to play the race card, and use it, cynically, to advance myself by playing upon the racist presumption of Americans to accept, without question, that anyone of color is African-American. I lied to you, and you blindly accepted it, because of your own racist presumptions about color, and ethnic identity. I looked African-American, and your racist presumptions told you to believe it.”

Even as you read this, the overwhelming majority of you will continue to believe it. Even as you know the truth, you will block the truth out of your mind, because you are bred to accept the racist presumption of color, and ethnic identity.

And so many of you reading this will create incredible mental gymnastics, telling yourself why the truth doesn’t matter. You will lie to yourself because you want to believe the lie, and then curse the American body politic for being built on lies.

You will do this all while failing to tell yourself the truth that it is your lies, as much as any other lies, that are killing the body. You will commit the very action that you curse as the cause of America’s demise, because you are jaded beyond recognizing in yourself the very same disease you so freely condemn in others.

Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:

True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa – it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.

Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”

The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.

Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.

But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller.

Being the son of a poor Kenyan goat-herder plays much better than being the son of a highly placed Arab-African who operated at the top of the Kenyan government following his education at Columbia. You see, even the way he portrays his father is a lie.

We need to linger for a moment on Ms. Winfrey, and her support for Mr. Obama. A very serious problem arises with Ms. Winfrey because of her double-standards: Does everyone remember how she went ballistic when a person whose book she endorsed turned out to be dishonest about what he said about his life in his book?

Of course you do. She pulled the plug on him and forced him into a highly publicized “Mea Culpa” of near groveling for her forgiveness. She publicly humiliated him, and would actually twist-up into contorted faces, visibly hot with anger.

Why then does Ms. Winfrey operate with a double standard for Mr. Obama? She knows his so-called autobiography is replete with “composites” – an Orwellian word for fictional characters that never existed but in Mr. Obama’s imagination, even though he addresses them in his autobiography as if they are real people. They aren’t; they are lies.

So are his timelines, chopped up and rearranged for Mr. Obama’s aggrandizement. And there are the complete lies about events he said specifically impacted his life – events that never occurred despite his writing that they did. They too are lies.

As I said, don’t take my word for it; read Mr. Cohen’s columns in the Washington Post for the details.

Why then does she not hold him to the same standards she held another author?

She doesn’t say, but the possibility that the reason is race-based is fair to ask. What Mr. Obama did is far beyond what the other author did. Why then, public humiliation for one, but campaign whistle-stops for the other?

Ms. Winfrey needs to tell us why. Her integrity is on the line.

Mr. Obama has struggled all his life trying to prove that he is black enough to be called black.

The truth is that if Mr. Obama is elected, his primary ethnic composition is Caucasian, but of course, that carries no cachet.

So if we look at his next predominant ethnic component, Mr. Obama would be America’s first Arab-American president. The truth is that his name says it all.

What amazes me more than anything else about Mr. Obama’s heritage is the unwillingness of anyone in the journalism profession to want to know the truth. While all this is easily documentable, it is so radioactive that no one wants to be on the receiving end of the racist charges that will bombard whoever broaches the truth.

It is another example of how America’s political system is further degenerating into fairy tales and lies. Torpedo boat attacks in Viet Nam, WMD’s in Iraq, Sen. Obama is African-American; we shamelessly lie to ourselves to rationalize whatever we want to believe.

But I wrote this tonight because I’m tired of reading about “integrity” written by those who have none themselves. They know Mr. Obama’s autobiography is filled with lies from start to finish, they know he lies about what his operatives do (the Apple advertisement knock-off against Hills immediately comes to mind), and for those who circulated my research, they know he is not legally black.

But for those longing for Camelot, for those who feel a good story trumps the truth, for those who are so jaded about others that they now live as those they profess to hate, for those who are terrorized by the racist attacks these truths bring, the integrity of Sen. Obama doesn’t matter.

Because their own integrity doesn’t matter to them either.

Why am I writing this? Maybe I just want a clear conscience, clear that the research I did didn’t get buried because the people who received it are afraid to tell the truth in the face of Sen. Obama’s frenzied celebrity status. I’ve been in the business since 1972 – 35 years – writing and researching for people like the NY Times, the Miami Herald, the St. Petersburg Times, The Jewish Information Network, so I know what it’s like on the newsroom floor right now. Nobody can dare speak against Sen. Obama without generating at least a flickering flame of doubt about his or her own sanity – not to mention the knee-jerk reaction that questioning him is indicative of some deep, dark, racist agenda spurring those questions on.

And truth? I ask as Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Who cares about truth? This is history; this is the first time ever in America – why let truth get in the way of chronicling history? (. . . I wrote facetiously.)

Maybe I just want to know that if he gets the presidency, he will get it honestly – if this is general knowledge, and he overcomes it. Maybe I’m just tired of presidents who lie to us; and in this case, I already know Mr. Obama will lie to us, just as he lied in his autobiography, and on so many other occasions documented by Mr. Cohen, by Michael Dobbs, the Washington Post’s factchecker, and so many others.

And maybe I’m tired of us lying to ourselves. Mr. Obama is what we’ve lied ourselves into believing he is.

Maybe by saying that I know he lied, and saying that we lied to ourselves, I will say after he is elected that nobody has any right to complain about him lying after he takes the oath of office, when everybody knew he lied about so many other things – when we lied to ourselves about so many other things, so very long before that.

POLICE reports?

HOPEFULLY a fatass lie…if not, WTF are you doing wasting the RESOURCES of our police force you freak?

SO TYPICAL of the SOULLESS younger GEN.

Ecomony is going to hell but all the talk is about Barky and race and nothing else. Race card chit is for immature buttheads….

Barky can’t find his ass without being told where it is…Barky’s voting record is equivalent to a 5 yr old….220 opportunities to vote, Barky passed on 130…

The Damn race chit he’s playing and certain individuals acting like their feelings are so hurt,it’s just hard to feel sorry for them….I’m sure mature people would have left and kept quiet rather than acting like the world owes them….

Barky is dividing America a hell of alot worse than ever….Notice how he acts when he’s in the presence of certain individuals…He acts like he’s going to create a “New “Moon,” then he moves on to the next and the next acting like he’s got Saturn and Pluto in his hands ready to tell the world how he changed them.

Change? Yeah he is changing things, the economy is changing everyone’s life.

Barky has not told us how he will pay for the new Socialist Government he intends to have…

One more thing. Changing laws or making new laws always helps one,but hurts millions…Make changes for one group to screw another is really the thing to do,huh? So goes Barky chit, America is screwed….

Make a pdf. file and post.

Thanks a million.

Screw you…go make a POLICE report of people cutting you off in traffic you freak.

Not only has Obama lied about his antiwar stance, and spoken out of both sides of his mouth about it, he intends to keep tens of thousands in Iraq for decades AND he intends to make national service MANDATORY for teens and even for those over 50!

Links, quotes, sources please.

OH, and WAY TO IGNORE THE ISSUES.

You are a moron tool who believes Obama is antiwar.

Loser. Thanks for screwing it up for the TRUE PROGRESSIVES.

DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

Obama LIED about when he made his bullshit antiwar speech, flipflopped on that and said that he’s close to Bush on that issue (HINT: LOOK AT THE CHICAGO PAPERS).

And look up the mandatory public service…you DO know how to use GOOGLE, right, MORON? Or are you solely ON YOUR KNEES at Obama’s Official LIE AND SCRUB website?

Don’t bother, it does not impress me.

Only if you ignore the fact that the Obama campaign was intentionally looking for quotes from the Clinton campaign that could be misrepresented to be race baiting. Obama is a criminal plain and simple, and you can talk about the Clinton baggage all you want. Plain and simple the Republicans spent millions of taxpayer dollars investigating whitewater where the Clintons LOST money. And Obama has been getting a free pass on Rezko where he blatantly made the crimes possible! Expect the free pass to end the day after the convention if Obama is the nominee.

Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.

Hi GenXDem,
It’s hard to receive bad treatment simply because you’re for a particular candidate, isn’t it?
Still, I read with interest your remarks and I’m a little disconcerted by your accusations of the Clintons. Yes the Clintons have been less than perfect, I think we all agree with that. However, they have worked their whole adult lives to better our society. The same cannot be said for Senator Obama.
It might be easy for you to dismiss his corrupt and terrorist allies, but it is not so easy for me. I personally remember the Weathermen and William Ayers and in my mind there is no excuse for the kind of violence he practiced. Also, here’s a thought I wish to offer. I attended church almost every Sunday while growing up (I’m an agnositic now and don’t go to church anymore) but NEVER once did any of our ministers preach hatred of someone else or do a lot of name calling. There is also the tax exempt status of churches that are supposed to keep them from preaching politics from the pulpit. Wright didn’t preach Jesus’ message, neither did Father Pleger. What’s the point of preaching hatred and divisiveness in church – just turn on the television or watch one of the violent movies and you’ll get that. It was my impression that people went to church to hear the message of God and Jesus. I remember my Bible pretty well, and Jesus’s message was about love nad forgiveness. None of which Obama’s friends practice. I’m voting against him and for John McCain even though I’m a lifelong Democrat. And I will work hard to make sure this unvetted candidate does not make it to the White House because he does not have a clue what it is a President does.

Iamonly1,

Superb article and thanks for coming here and posting this. You must be a person of wisdom and courage, as others have let us know of the pressure on AA’s who do not bow before “The One”.

I am saddened that 40 years later, the skin color is more important than the content of character.

As Red Dragon points out below, Obama has IGNORED AA’s and in specific instances actually hurt them. Obama has no loyalty to anyone other than the Corporate types who fund him. For Obama he is the ONLY person in his universe who matters, and it is always about him, just him.

Mimi, RedDragon, Sugar n’ Spice, and other AA’s post wonderful comments and keep us aware of all sides of an issue. Hopefully you will join them here at times.

For the LIES, look up ALL of his bullshit replies during DEBATES.

Even worse than his DEBATE LIE that he made his little speech during the campaign for US Senate, are his lies during debates that he only worked with Rezko maybe “five hours” and his lies about Ayers being a casual acquaintance….you HAVE to remember that! All the Obamaborg Collective put up a HUGE HOWLING the one time he was seriously questioned during a debate.

And then they allowed him to LIE about Ayers, who financed Obama from the start and was another “mentor.”

Well, you used more words than I would have but yes, as I say again and again, he is not AA. Obama is mixed-race.

That is the key to lower polling numbers in the AA community.

Thanks for the detailed research.

IamOnly1: This diary/post…..is such an awesome piece of writing that I honestly don’t even know what else to say.

And what do you expect Obama to do, change his campaign theme from “change” to “reparations”. Even Obama knows that if he wants to get elected he has to appeal to more than the followers of NOI.

Awesome, awesome article! Thank you for your honesty and courage in speaking out.

“Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father.” –at a 1998 Republican fundraiser

Wow, you mean the kind of Christ-like forgiveness that Hillary must’ve practiced in order to forgive John McCain when he said this about her only daughter? What double standards you people have…

Wonderful post, well said!

It’s hard to be “black and not buying it” in the age of Obama. Your post makes it just a little bit easier.

THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! iam0nly1

‘FISA means squat to me….’ is a that an accurate quote pal? Well, we are sure to respect the opinion of an AssClown Majorus such as yourslelf. A low-info moran who from that one statement can be show to be of no consequence in any possible dialogue thinking Americans might have about the rule of Law.

I think the phrase we want to use here for you pal is:

‘Eat shit and die…’

You don’t deserve the courtesy of any sort of discourse.

Fascist scum.

I don’t need anything from Obama, thank you. I have been wise to him for quite some time.

At least Donna Brazile had the decency and honesty to admit that Obama’s hate crime against Muslim women, not allowing them to be in the photo op behind him was “wrong” and “disgusting.”

And lest anyone say it was his CAMPAIGN not him, remember he himself refused to be photographed with Mayor Newsom…so apparently Brazile and other Obama supporters thought, “ok for gays…” and forgot that old chestnut…first they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew….

Yer an idiot.

Plain and simple.

Exactly.

Technically, yes he’s mixed race …

But historically in America, if you are part black you’re black period. Being only part black was enough to get you all excluded from white society. So yes, he’s “African
American”.

I don’t believe it, I think Obama will get 98% of the black vote.

Mr. Lamb gives permission to share the entire blog as long as he’s given credit. I didn’t write it, but thought it deserved to be read in its entirety.

Since BO gets 90% of the AA vote, I think it’s important the AA community know he isn’t African American. He’s Arab American.

I wonder if this will EVER hit the MSM? If it was on NQ’s front page it would! People need to know this. The man is a FRAUD!

No he’s not. He’s Arab American.

Because he himself REFUSED to be photographed with SF’s gay mayor.

I m voting for Nader. I wouldn’t vote for Obama if my very own mother was on the ticket with him.

Thank you for a perspective that is not addressed frequently enough. I have to tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed the breadth of my education during the past two months.

Anyone voting based on color ought not be voting. But in all fairness to Obama or any other black politician why should they be required to focus on the black community? Anyone who wants to be president is responsible for the entire country not just one group.

It is not fair to black politicians to expect them to support affirmative action, reparations, etc.

ImOnly1, that was a fantastic piece. Thank you for posting that.

You are absolutely right — the issue here is not that the AA candidate had to be twice as qualified, it’s that he’s gotten away with being half as qualified.

Unfortunately, no one notices that and those that do are called racists. I don’t see racism, I see realism.

I ran into Kuccinich and his wife at a Greek Festival not long ago in Cleveland. We spoke for less than three minutes. But as a supporter of Dennis’ I thought you would be interested to know that he was disgusted by the disenfranchisement of voters in Michigan and Florida. Say what you will, everyone had an opportunity to revote and only Senator Obama declined. That is a fact. Not an opinion. To state that he would have lost to Hillary again is an opinion. He agreed that Democrats had abandoned the moral high ground. Our encounter was prior to the decision rendered by the DNC in Washington, but NO DEMOCRAT would be proud to say one person, one half vote. What say you?

Isn’t that the logic that freed O.J.?

Ah yes. Mandatory public service, an idea put forth by J.F. Kennedy and W. Bush.,amongst others.

It seems to me, though, that it would be mandatory only to people graduating high school.

I participated in something like that when I was 20. It opened my horizon, made me discover how people lived in other places, made me learn another language, changed my life.

Sure, why not.

On the war, you must be mistaking Obama for McCain. I think Senator Obama will bring back the troops as soon as he can and avoid wars if possible.

Senator McCain, on the other hand, wants to keep American troops in Iraq and start another war with Iran.

Excellent article.

I’d just like to note that, race politics in the African American community notwithstanding, the madness surrounding Barack seems to encompass people of every race and socio-economic background. I attribute this to Axelrod’s marketing of Obama as a hybrid Savior-softdrink, and the failure of the press – relied on by millions in place of independent research and thought – to do any sort of vetting or questioning of Obama, and their dispicable willingness to wink at every bit of dishonesty, ineptitude, and hypocrisy he displays as if it’s all just a sign of a shrewd politician.

To be honest, I think America needs the African American community to courgeously step forward and confront Obama while other communities are too cowardly, or dismissed as irrelevant or racist for doing so. If America’s black community steps up and exposes Obama, no one will be able to call them racist. But the Obama’s will accuse them of being in a fearful slave mentality.

What a mess. I can’t believe I’m witnessing this travesty of an “election”.

Thank you for being so brave and challenging voters, black, white, and other, to vote intelligently, based on the facts, not on color. I find myself asking Obama supporters to tell me what they know about Wright, Rezko, Auchi, Alsammarae, Ayers, Dorhn and their relationship to Barack Obama, and, sadly, most can’t tell me a single thing. Same when asked about Obama’s legislative accomplishments…nothing! How can we Americans vote on something as important as the presidency without educating ourselves about the candidates or the issues??? There is too much at stake here to vote blindly based on the color of one’s skin or their age or gender!!! I am a proud white mother who has raised two non-racist sons, and I believe that Obama and Axelrod have set back race relations around the world! Wrongs have been done in this world to many people, not just blacks, but I have never heard in 29 years of marriage to a Jewish man from him or his 80 year old parents that they are owed something, or that the wrongs can never be made right. We have to move forward and not hold future generations responsible for past generations hatred. We all need to continue the work of healing and making this world a better place for our children, and how can we do that if we are continually moving backward to the past? I’m not black, so my reference point is quite different, but as a mother to Jewish sons, I will always fear that they will be subjected to anti-Semitic hate. The KKK was active on the UCONN campus when I was a nursing student in the late 80′s, and I am embarrassed to admit that I told my son 20 years later when he was to attend UCONN that he should never tell anyone he was Jewish. People of color cannot hide the fact, nor should they have to, but as long as racism exists, we live in fear. The one thing we do not need is the likes of Obama, Axelrod, et al using the race card for personal gain. For that we will never forgive them, and for that reason, and many others, he will never get my vote. They may feel they have been slick and surrepticious in their actions, but unfortunately, they have been totally transparent.

Nope – he’s black in America.

We can agree to disagree.

I will reply more in detail below your other comment.

“I’m voting for Obama because he is black. Why shouldn’t I? I’ve been voting for white men all my life.”

What faith you have in Obama.

Sorry, wrong quote above.

On the war, you must be mistaking Obama for McCain. I think Senator Obama will bring back the troops as soon as he can and avoid wars if possible.

What (blind) faith you have in Obama.

stinky is a completely total fraud.

That symbol was a calculated insult to the country and should have never been used. It made an embarrassing mockery of this country’s history. Anyone with a grain of common sense and respect for the symbol it represents would have squelched the idea of using it right from the start.

These people are utter fools.

Great work,iam0nly1.

I agree with you completely. The Bambians have worked extremely hard to rile up black folk for just such verbal assaults as what has come down against yourself and Tavis Smiley.

I have also mentioned Kobe Bryant as regards Barack Obama. Both men, like R Kelly, are being held up by many African-Americans in total falsehood. They are being given free passes and made excuses for and it is a disgrace. It is like some version of Stockholm Syndrome.

And to my African-American brothers and sisters such as the horribly misguided Donna Brazile, I say: You can do better than Kobe Bryant, or Barack Obama. You can and you must. These men are not worth your support and are hurting everyone’s name who supports them.

I have also written on this subject and there is much, much more still to be written on the cultural and social dynamics going on behind the R Kelly/Kobe/Barack/OJ/… phenomenon. It is an extremely self-injurious state of affairs for the black community and it isn’t helping race relations either when Wilder and Clyburn and Rolly Polly Martin are calling everyone racists and talking about riots.

F_ck you, Obama, and your demon spawn campaign for this bullspit. This is not what America needed and you don’t care, none of your Insane Chicago Clown Posse cares. Deval’s Daddy saw an opening and he took it, along with you, Deval II.

Thanks again, iam0nly1.

God Bless you IamOnly1. Thank you so much for your post. I don’t understand why more people do not understand that it has nothing to do with the color of obamas skin……it is all about his LACK of EXPERIENCE,lack of judgment,character and his friends. I agree if Hillary or John McCain ever pulled half the crap that obama has they would have been swiftboated right out of politics for life period end of conversation.

Come on obamabots stop drinking the Kool-Aid the future of our Country is at stake here!!!!!! What the hell don’t you all understand?????

Haven’t you heard the expression……

Look at you friends and you will see a reflection of yourself.

I just hope we actually get to HAVE a real roll call vote in August- if we do, then maybe there IS still hope for Hillary winning in the end. I’m with Thomas- it ain’t over till it’s over. And excuse me- but NO delegates have actually voted as yet, no matter what precious says. Great article- thanks!

Birth certificate? What about a marriage certificate? Seems like Obama Sr. never bothered to get divorced from the wife he abandoned in Kenya before his “marriage” to Obama’s mother. I know polygamy was legal in Kenya, but not in Hawaii. See Andy Martin’s http://www.ContrarianCommentary.com for his research on the matter, and his critique of Obama’s new TV ad, stressing his “strong family values”.

I did not see the words “suppressed” or “folk hero” in the essay. I think it is unfair for you to assign those words to the writer of this essay.

I think you are missing the point. In your case, people were angry with you for WHO you supported. It had nothing to do with your skin color. The writer, I think, is saying that African-Americans are angry with anyone who is black voting for someone other than Obama because they view it as a betrayal of the race.

What happened to you was wrong, but it is different from what the author is describing.

On a lighter note, I think they might have been offended by the word “Hillbilly” more than by your support of Obama. That is an offensive word to some people.

Maybe the people most tolerant of political differences are republicans since you never got any complaints about your anti-Bush sign.

I agree that one should not base solely on color, especially if the candidate in question has a record of befriending slum lords who let minorities live without heat in the winter, etc…
But I believe that there is nothing wrong with a minority politician working to make the lives of the minority a better place, not through special treatment, but by focusing on the issues that are important to that group but that is shared by other groups as well.
Racism still exists, for example, but Obama didn’t make it any better by race-baiting or by pandering to racial stereotypes by putting down black men. AA and Hispanics are still underrepresented in higher education, but does Obama have any record in that area? He didn’t even show up at the State of the Black Union, yet he took for granted the AA votes.

http://blog.cleveland.com/openers/2008/05/kucinich_wants_polling_to_end.html

Kucinich has supported Obama since late winter/ early spring, btw.

I have faith in both candidates that they will do what they stand for, Peace for Obama and War for McCain.

Did you have faith that Obama will vote no on FISA and accept public funding?

I don’t believe you are another Barry Distraction. The young lady whose article you try to rip has so much honesty in her little finger than you would ever hope to earn! You are a paid Obama snake. Core Dems don’t believe hin or his so-called supporters. Now get back and pick up your two bits. from Fight the smears office.

I have every confidence that obambi will backtrack and reject every principled position he has taken, and that you and your dreams will end up under the bus.

How are these reversals working for you?
FISA
campaign finance
blank check for Iraq

still guzzling the koolaid?

Thank you iam0nly1 for this essay. I enjoyed reading this piece. Your writing is excellent.

You said:
Maybe the people most tolerant of political differences are republicans since you never got any complaints about your anti-Bush sign.

I don’t think so. I had my car’s rear bumper covered with anti-Bush bumper stickers and had my car keyed TWICE, 2 men flipped me the bird and someone threw a whole glass of McDonald’s pop at my car. Republicans are NOT more tolerant. I know from experience.

here’s the swift boat campaign against McCain.

shame on you.

Yeah, were you one of the Homoobanabots who called Mrs.. Clinton a whore?

I must admit to a deception on his stance on FISA. I think I can understand why he did it but it does not excuse the deed. The telecom immunity clause shoud go though.

Obama is a politician and a human being, with all the shortcomings that entail.

Public financing is a non-issue. Check how McCain manipulated the system, getting a loan using the public financing system and “opting out” when it suited him.

I think tolerance is not party-specific. Not anymore.

Obama is a politician and a human being, with all the shortcomings that entail.

When he first ran you bots were proclaiming that he’s special because he’s not a politician.

I see you are gradually lowering your standards to accept him. Excusing someone for totally trampling on your hopes and dreams by saying “he’s just a human being” is kind of sad, don’t you think?

Yes, drkate, he/she is still guzzling that drink.

You really believe that he would say anything else after what happened to other blacks who told the truth? Get real, he already lost all of his creditability over the WMDs in Iraq. You really think that he is going to rock the boat now?

Too bad the media isn’t interested in hearing from African Americans who are aware that too many red flags have been overlooked to keep Obama on the rise, when they may have ruined a white candidate’s chances. I’ve been waiting for someone like IamOnly1 to write from this perspective.

I am ready to support a black man for President. Just not THIS black man. He is not experienced enough for the job — YET. Would he have gotten this far with so little experience if he’d been a woman? There must be some people uncomfortably aware of the passes that Barack Obama has been given. A white candidate may have survived Tony Rezko, clinging to guns, that TACKY fake seal, and the sexist “we’ll get to you in a minute, sweetie” but NO white candidate would ever have survived anything like Rev Wright, his church, Father Flegler, etc. The old adage applies: Show me who you’re with and I’ll show you who you are.

I chose Hillary Clinton for her record, experience, ideas and STRENGTH. She really seemed in it for the people. I do not choose Barack Obama because he is inexperienced, and quite frankly, seems very narcissistic. In it for himself. His skin color has absolutely nothing to do with it. THANK YOU
IamOnly1 for a frank and unflinching look at the truth.

Don’t you get it…obambi is THE MOST corrupt politician in the history of the USA and probably the world. Mathematically there is no humanly possible way, that he could have raised as much money as he did by his followers donating 100 dollars or less think about it. He is getting his financing from bundlers, thugs, and anti-American groups. Did you ever notice he has NEVER disclosed his list of financial backers. He has more money for earmarks (one of which helped his wife’s employer a nonprofit hospital receive millions and she in turn receives a 6 figure salary now) hmmmm there is real change for you…… Blatantly go after government money and give it to your wife’s employer. How is that for conflict of interest… Oh come to think of it he got earmarks for his church, Father Phleger too………. Hmmmmmm

Do you even know what his so called policies are? How do you think he is going to pay for all these big promises ??? He is going to tax us into oblivion.

I hope you never receive and inheritance from a family member, or try to sell your house for profit, or try to cash in any investments because with his policies you will be paying more than half back to the government.

If you plan on your children going to college and getting a PEL grant, forget it. You will only qualified if you are an illegal alien, or if you are so poor you can’t even afford a house, because that will be the ONLY way you will be able to qualify for a Pell grant.

Oh what about his universal health plan BS? Who do you think is going to pay for that….. The tooth fairy? WE ARE with our taxes. With the chosen one you will be paying 55% or higher of you PAYCHECK to the government…. is that what you want?

WAKE THE F&@& UP!!!!!!!!!!

Well, now that Obamarrhoids exist, I guess that’s absolutely true.:) It’s not party specific anymore, but Republicans are NOT tolerant of opposing opinions. I know that to be true.

And?

All Obamarrhoids have selective memories. They remember only what they choose to remember. That’s why they’re all so ignorant.

and what is your point asshole…….let me guess he drank the Kool-Aid right.

I think you’ve got a point there. I think only the AA community could, at least, bring forth some truth here. If Obama goes down at all, no matter how, racism will be alleged. But you are also right about what the AA community might have to contend with – Uncle Toms, slave mentality, etc. It’s a real mess.

I used to watch the Boondocks when I could find it. I thought it was funny and pointed. I enjoyed the comic strip until it was taken out of the local paper for being offensive.

Kind of like Cosby on acid.

Thanks for an excellent and, most likely, courageous, perspective.

Maybe it’s time to stop putting offensive stickers on your Pinto?

The more I hear from you, the more you lose credibility. I don’t believe you one bit. You are a paid Obama blogger. Liar.

IamOnly1- articulate article and needs to be said.

Will it have any impact ?

Bad move voting for Nader…..you might as well just go in the booth and vote for NObama then. Even though you hate Republicans a vote for nader is a vote foe the corrupt one NObama.

I am a democrat for 20+ years and I am saying this. So do the smart thing and vote McCain. I trust him more than NObama. God know what will happen with that in the WH.

FISA means squat to you? Our constitutional protection from unlawful search and seizure means squat? Good lord. I shudder to think what you “principled” people will put up with as long as Obama is doing it.

GenX DEM

For a blue collar worker you sure have alot of free time to spend on these Bloggs. I don’t beleive you. Matter of fact its difficult to believe many comments on other blogs when Obama supporters, almost with the same comment repeat themselves over and over again. GenXGen is earning his/her two bits! They are repeating Mr. Obama’s and David Alxerod scripts. Gen..you are a liar, you reflect your candidate very well.

Is this part of your training? “Make references to documentation to lend credibility to your story.” Yes, I want police reports, photos, license plate numbers, witness affidavits, the works. Come on. Your story is bullshit.

We can’t take no for an answer. We must insist on a roll call vote.

This is a great post and it reflects many of the thoughts I have had about Obama’s relationship with the African-American community. I have thought that he is insulting the AA community by constantly bringing up the race issue. He seems to want to use that to keep the AA community in the “victim mode.” Victims never heal or gain empowerment by always resorting to victim modality. It keeps them locked in a weak position. Yes, we still have many issues to solve like sexism, racism, ageism, but Obama’s “retreat” to the victim/race card keeps those issues from really being discussed with an attempt to heal them.

Tavis Smiley’s program is one of the best on TV—he always asks very pointed questions of his guests—his interviews are the best/ in-depth, and he does not deserve the kind of treatment from other African-Americans who are so in the tank for Obama. It’s unconscionable and “stabbed-the-back” type of treatment. It’s an insult to the rest of the African-American community as well.

Thank you so much for your insightful and so well-written article.

To me Senator Obama is a divider, not a uniter. He has set back race relations in this country. To me, that makes him dangerous. He is not going to be the Jackie Robinson of politics. I am saddened that the African-American community can’t see this. I know they have been treated terribly, but can’t they see how bad he would be. Historically, if he was elected to the presidency, he would do it with the thinnest resume ever. He has not led anything. He was not a governor or even a general, such as Washington, Grant or Eisenhower. He has had business and politican dealings with a convicted felon. He has a racist preacher. He lied to the people of Ohio about NAFTA. O.J. divided this country and we all know he is a double murderer. The African-American community’s threats on Tavis Smiley are obscene. Come on people, come to your senses.

This thinking is more prevalent than you will ever see in the MSM.

If a roll call vote is announced it will become a game changer for the convention.

Nothing is greater than defending our Constitution even in the AA community.

I would ask you as a member of Generation X, who might not have been following politics in the early 1990′s, what the basis is for your assertion that the Clinton’s have been “swimming in a sea of corruption”? You might want to check some history books and first hand accounts of the work of the Special Prosecutor who tried to pin numerous such charges on the Clinton’s only to have them be shown to be untrue. Better get your facts straight about which of the two politicians has the record for lack of integrity and intestinal fortitude. If the source of your facts is the Obama/Axelrod propaganda machine, I would hope that you would do yourself a favor and at least consider a different point of view.

are you retarded or what……. Obama is a lying sack of shit. He will stop at nothing to get into the WH. He is going to take away the freedoms that our forefathers, mothers,sisters,brothers fought so hard to keep……..Maybe you should look up nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler……he promised his people change……look what they got.

stupid is what stupid does.

Here we have a case of semantics taken to the extreme.

Yes Barack Obama appears to have some difficulty with presenting the objective truth about himself.

But telling “AA”s that Barack Obama is actually an Arab American just isn’t going to wash. You are wasting your time.

Why do I say this?

Well, according to the Arab League, an Arab is defined as

a person whose language is Arabic, who lives in an Arabic speaking country, who is in sympathy with the aspirations of the Arabic speaking peoples

It is not about genealogy or race.

Need proof? Research the Kenyan records for yourself. You will find that his father was officially classified as “Arab African” by the Kenyan government.

Well for black people and America in general, race is well, about race. Not language or culture. Your argument seems to hinge on the assumption that the label Arab means Arab race when it could have more to do with cultural identity or status in that society.

His father’s family has been in Africa for generations, have negroid racial characteristics (as opposed to looking like they’re from the Arabian Peninsula), he married a black woman, and he’s embraced Black American Culture. That’s plenty black for most AAs. Most AAs probably don’t know what part of Africa their ancestors are from anyway. So pointing out that his family are “Arab Africans” as opposed to those OTHER Africans would be totally meaningless.

There are lots and lots of “AA”s who are mixed race. But in the past, there wasn’t the claiming of “mixed race” that there is today. You were just black (or other euphemisms), because that’s the group that could and would claim you and accept you.

My adoptive father is 1/16 black, 1/16 Jewish, 1/16 French and the 13/16 Portuguese. But as an old guy who grew up “non-white” or “coloured”, his identity and identification is black. He loves Obama! You try telling him Obama isn’t black. He’ll laugh you out of the room. Good luck with that.

I myself have probably more scottish/english ancestry than I do african negro, but my identity and identification is “black”. Yes I’m “mixed race” but my identity is black.

Now maybe if I was born in the last 20 years, I might go around calling myself “mixed race” … if I had “pure” parents to start with. But as a person over 35 with generations of mixing, I would feel it was a conceit and downright pretentious. And self-hating. Yes I’m mixed race. But my identity is black.

So by all yardsticks that count to black people, Barack Obama is black. You dig?

Find some other mode of attack. This one only makes us (anti-Obama people) look obsessive and anti-Arab. It also demonstrates a lack of understanding of what it means to be “black”, historically speaking, in North America today.

with your smarts, integrity and honesty, maybe we need to replace obama with you. that would be a good start.

i think you are a damx liar.

You are obviously misinformed. Obama DID call both of the women and personally apologized for the actions of the campaign volunteers. But of course, you and the others on this pathetic site don’t want to hear the truth. How sad you all are… *smdh*

Thank all of the above for your kind comments

I watched the “Real Time” clip you gave.
Maher seemed to be quite annoyed that Tavis was not going to support Obama based upon skin color.
For someone who claimes to be anti-PC, Maher is very much so PC. Hollywood and company are quite PC, left wing tools even though they claim to be anti-PC.
Tavis is a real journalist (one of the few left in America). He would fit in well on the BBC too. I now know why we rarely see him on the cable outlets.

Thank you for this post; this is the only post on this thread that makes any sense. I’m also mixed race (Hispanic and AA), but I don’t run around identifying myself as such. I am a Black woman, end of story. There is still so much that other groups do not understand from a minority’s perspective, and it is both comical and infuriating watching them try to figure it out. Even though we may disagree politically (I am an Obama supporter), your post was thoughtful and accurate. Good work!

I’m very sorry to hear about that. Some people can’t keep their emotions in check.

I would never argue that no Hillary supporters engaged in threats and intimidation, but from my experience, and from the experiences of people I know (including Obama supporters) there seems to be a pattern of threats, accusations of racism, and downright thuggery coming from many Obama supporters.

Are you kidding me…if the obamatards were ever POWs (not that any one of them would ever enlist to protect our Country….freakin cowards) they would shit, piss and puke in the first five minutes. After six minutes they would turn in ALL of there fellow soldiers give away all locations of the military, and within 10 minutes they would give away every bit of classified information and stratigic logistics they ever had and then probably return to America as suicide bombers for the enemy.

Yes obama asslickers that is what I think of you.

Proud daughter of an American WWII Purple Heart Veteran.

Thank you for this article. It was outstanding and I am sorry for what you and other AA have had to deal with. I wondered how people like Tavis Smiley were holding up under the pressure. I was just thinking of him yesterday wondering how he was doing. I don’t really know him much only saw him a few times but it made me sad what was done to him and other AA .

And I thank you as well for giving me hope that someday this nightmare will be over and maybe the damage that has been done in the past few months with the divide and conquer of all Americans can start to heal.
Thank you again and best of luck to you.

I really fear the damage it is doing in the mean time.

IamOnly1 -

Well said, especially your concluding paragraph:

“… If you are a supporter of Senator Obama, and want to help him, then instruct him to go back to the Senate for a few years, at least serve his first term, and gain some experience….”

One of my biggest problems with Barack Obama is that he rose to this position without “paying his dues” in the Senate. I know that’s old-fashioned, but that’s the way it is. It’s not just lack of experience, it’s lack of respect for the electorate and the office.

Anything can be interpreted as racist if you’re looking for it.

NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING Hillary, Bill or their surrogates said was racism. Period. Black people were indeed duped…at least those who are voting for him “because he was a victim of racism” or to get back at Hillary or Bill for something they said.

It’s pure ignorance. Obama put on a damn show. I hate to out the black community this way, but most of us will see racism in the most benign acts because we’ve been raised that way and taught that way by idiots like Rev. Wright.

Thanks so much for clarifying my position for Gen X.

iam0nly1,

Should we be held to account by a humane code of conduct, which does not allow anyone to avoid the truth of a person’s charecter?

Thank you for shedding light on an elephant in the room.

That’s the thing. Obama hasn’t done anything for our community except have a similar skin tone.

It’s absolutely outrageous that people would shut their minds off in order to vote for somebody of the same non-existent category. Race isn’t even real, it’s a sociological construct. Obama is a perfect example of the lunacy of race because his father is African and his mother caucasian yet he looks “African American.”

These labels are just a way to achieve social control and the desirable hierarchies. That people claiming to want freedom and equality blindly adhere to these arbitrary lines and categories is the ultimate irony.

Thanks Bud. I also love and respect Tavis. He’s definitely on the short list of people I gained even more respect for during the primary season.

The “f*ck them” list had gotten too long and depressing, so I switched to a more positive list

I officially love you. This post was fantastic and presented how I feel exactly. I watched that episode of Boondocks–I’m a huge fan–and I had the same reaction as Huey. Just because you’re black and you get away with a crime doesn’t mean you should be glorified for it. It’s ridiculous.

It was definitely his campaign. I’ve volunteered for campaigns and worked a few Hillary events, and the staff makes clear what they are looking for if you are a volunteer responsible for picking members of the background crowd. Usually it’s preferences like certain age cohorts, or people wearing College/University merchandise.

If two separate volunteers told two separate Muslim women, in a state with one of the largest Arab/Muslim populations that they couldn’t sit behind the candidate, then those instructions came from the campaign itself.

Well, it is widely believed that there are Obama people in the McCain camp. Apparently there were Obama people in Hillary’s camp, leaking information and volunteer lists to Obama. I think Solis-Doyle was a mole. It wouldn’t surprise me.

He didn’t call until at least one of the women demanding a personal phone call, siting his personal call to the woman he made the “sweetie” comment to.

Obama doesn’t do the right thing until he’s pressured.

No.. Iamonly1 you are indeed a HOUSE N***. On the merits I would still condemn your article as simpleminded, immature, selfserving garbage, giving absoulutely no credit to AA people who support Obama. However, for you to come to NQ (one of the most hateful sites out here Republican or Dem) just makes it only more condemning for that bile you call writing. I’m sure all the haters here will give you an amen sister, and you can feel good about yourself, saying “see I’m black and I don’t like him either”, like that gives you more credibility. But to have credibility with these embiciles is your own condemnation. Yes you are all of the above, a sell out, a house n**, etc., etc, etc, not because you won’t vote for O or don’t like him. It’s because you make the same generalizations that THEY do, you discriminate in the same manner THEY do, you have the same judgemental condecending views of us (African Americans) that THEY do… it doesn’t make you one of them SISTA.. it makes you worse.

Color shouldn’t matter period.

Yes, African Americans have suffered, just as other ethnic minorities, women, the elderly, disabled and homosexuals, etc. have suffered. Having a “presidential candidate of our color” should not be some consolation prize, like the USFG is tossing us a bone. The guy should be qualified and respectable for Christ sake!

I think there are some grumblings, but many are being intimidated into not saying anything about it. It’s as though we have close our eyes, ears and mouths until he gets elected.

Sadly, there are few who are willing to vocally come out against him. But perhaps they will have the courage, alone in the voting booth.

DoroB,

Don’t waste your breath trying to convince her about Monica. She believes Monica was a poor little powerless thing when even Monica doesn’t believe that about herself.

Bill certainly was wrong. But so was Monica. She went to the WH as an intern for the sole purpose of getting next to Clinton. She admitted as much. I’m sure our GenXer doesn’t remember how one of Clinton’s secretaries complaned to whoever was in charge of the interns about Monica’s choice of wardrobe: lowcut bosom-revealing mini outfits.

Women like this believe it’s a woman’s perogative to dick tease (and I’m talking the real thing not some fantasy in a man’s mind)with impunity.

Sorry, but I don’t buy it and I will never hold some man’s wife responsible for the actions of her husband. When women shamelessly hunt another woman’s husband, what do you call them? Girlfriend?

I don’t think so!

I’d feel the same way if a man shamelessly hunted another man’s wife. There’s something scurrilous about both the spouse who commits infidelity and the willing paramours that they are intimate with.

But infidelity happens in marriages. Storybook unions in today’s society is not the easiest ideal to achieve. And people, even good people fail at it, forcing the injured spouse to make a choice. Having to make that choice in the most public of circumstances only makes matters worse.

Anyone with a modicam of common sense knows until you walk a mile in somebody’s shoes, refrain from making a judgement.

Me and the GenXer are on 2 different sides of the laughable spectrum. That she thinks Obama stands for anything would make a horse laugh.

He’s already exposed himself to be a card-carrying hypocrite.

“No more politics as usual?”

He played so much down and dirty Chicago politics, the movie version will be X-rated.

That the poster didn’t read the above blog. Is par fo the course. She almost got run off the road? Paging Sugar to tell about her encounter.

But at the end of the day, this Hillary supporter still respects her right to choose Obama in this democracy.

We’re all here at no quarter because Obama supporters refuse to offer us the same.

Agreed. Blacks risk a lot to get on TV and tell the truth about Obama. They were threatening and blackmailing Black superDs for the love of everything holy!

They are silencing dissent.

A bling vote?????

That’s a good one, Lou.

That’s ridiculous! The “audacity” of some people, coming up to you like that.

Next time, you should certainly let them have it. This race baiting has got to stop!

You are indeed a fool. A dumbass fool. So now you speak for all black people. Ms. Uncle Tom bowing down to the master, telling it like it is for all of us [DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR]. We too damn stupid to have minds of our own. Man, no wonder you get hammered for this [DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR]. You see I don’t go around calling black Hillary supporters ignorant or stupid, or do I claim to speak for my WHOLE race. And you’re wrong TOM the Clinton’s made racist comments. Not even gonna try to get into it with you because you’re too busy kissing that [DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR].

We can agree to disagree, but the point is that he did do the right thing. At least he was smart enough to apologize to the women and to the Muslim community as a whole. Of course, nuance seems to be lost on many of the posters on this site. No one can even seem to understand that this would not even have been an issue if the political climate was not so anti-Muslim, which is a crying shame. Islam as a whole is not our enemy… jihadists are.

I don’t agree with your article, but I appreciate where you are coming from and do find your “courage” to speak out refreshing. Everyone should vote their interests, and if a vote for Obama does not match your values, then don’t do it. I just question what exactly your values are if you’d rather vote for McCain. It seems as if you can’t have Hillary then you’d rather vote for him. How does he represent your interests? As an African-American, I would have loved to read why you’d rather vote FOR McCain more than why you’d vote AGAINST Obama.

No, get into it. I’d like to see you try to explain how ANY of those comments were racist.

“Self-injurious state” is spot on. Thank you so much for your comment.

They show the Boondocks on Adult Swin on Cartoon Network. The Second Season just wrapped up. I’m sure you could find the DVDs on Amazon

I love the show. It’s hard truth that many AAs need to see.

Your position… you have no position. It’s black Hill supporters like you that disgust me more than any idiot on this board. Half the people here giving you the “right on” and “amen”
are the same people on another thread calling Michelle Obama a black bitch, calling her O’s baby mama, talking about her “nappy hair”.. every insult African American women find objectionable. THESE ARE YOUR BUDDIES!! House N**** indeed.

I noticed that about Maher as well. He seemed miffed and confused that Tavis wasn’t lining up behind Obama. Should tell us that possibly Maher has some white guilt he’s trying to assuage. No such guilt about the patriarchy, seeing as we was willing to say “c*nt” on his show.

NO problem Doro:

Bill Clinton’s comparison of Baracks campaign in SC was an attempt to label him as the “black candidate”, trying to diminish his candidacy as just another black guy in the Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton mold.

Hill’s comments alluding to the fact that it took a white LBJ to accomplish what MLK couldn’t get done.

Hill comments I’m getting all the White vote or something like that.

Leaking pictures of him African garb.

The Clinton’s aren’t stupid, but too often Hill supporters excuse the behaviour. I don’t think they’re racist, they have too many AA supporters, but they did make racist statements and commit racist actions.

And msm has not called him on the casual acquaintance thing regarding Rezko.

I sure wish some casual acquaintance would help me purchase a mansion.

Do you hear the horse laughing in the background?

Congratulations for your post. I am planning to vote for Cynthia McKinney, a candidate for the Green Party, if Sen.Clinton is not nominated at the convention. The interesting thing is that she is a Black woman. Am I still going to be considered racist if I don’t vote for Obama? And if that’s the case, I guess that will show that they are sexist.

I’m not really sure who you are, but you have presented your argument and I have read it. Now, here is mine.

You say FISA is not important to you and I don’t believe I have ever heard a Democrat say that publicly and I’m not sure if you know what it is.

FISA is a court established after the Nixon presidency to ensure American Citizens would not be victims of those in power deciding for any reason to put wiretaps on their phones without first obtaining a warrant. It is a protection granted by the constitution of this country of a right to privacy. The establishment of this court is not what the senate will vote on tomorrow because, as I said, it is already there due to Nixon’s using wiretaps on his “enimies”.

What they will be voting on is to amend the original to allow the executive branch of the government to bypass the law and wiretap without having to prove cause to the court.

The new bill also includes retroactive immunity to AT&T and Version for supplying phone records without a letter from the Justice Department establishing evidence. Those companies subsequently received federal contracts in the billions.

I’m not sure you understand the implications of the law or the significance of Obama’s support after months of using the issue in his campaign.

You are a rare Democrat in your lack of support for universal health care. Well, you can relax if Obama is elected because in spite of the fact his campaign went to great pains to draw one up to compete with Hillary’s, his is worthless and he has never intended implement it.

His biggest issue in this campaign has been a speech he gave in 2003 opposing the war in Iraq. In the last few weeks, there has been evidence of his contradictions on Iraq as well as Iran. But, you mentioned neither in your post so I am left with the impression this issue has no importance to you either.

As for your attacks on the Clintons, Hillary in particular, they are fairly typical of his supporters and I have never seen a single one offer concrete evidence beyond “Monica” and “Bosina” and I can give you a list of 10/1 on Obama’s lies.

Why don’t you ask Dennis Kucinich why he supports health care, opposes the new FISA Act and had a plan to end the war in Iraq and no military confrontation with Iran. I would like to understand the basis of your support for him.

Can you appreciate the problem I am having here understanding exactly who you are?

Finally, Republican support for Hillary. This has been a completely confusing issue for me. Obama, his campaign and supporters have said many, many times they are uniting the country and they offer as proof, the number of Republicans who voted for him in the primaries.

His campaign made a special effort get Repubs. to vote for him in open primaries. He also went to great lenghts to praise Frm. Pres. Ronald Reagan(R) and Frm. Pres. GHW Bush (R) and recently, his wife offered her praise for First Lady Laura Bush (R).

Until the supers gave him the magic number of votes, he had nothing good to say about Frm. First Lady and Sen. Hillary Clinton or Frm. Pres. Clinton who, BTW, had a 65% approval rating when he left the White House.

I am offering my case here, not because I believe it will ever change your mind. I’m sure it is set in cement. Rather, I am responding in the hopes you will understand how pathetic your argument is and the next time you decide to post a comment, you will not insult others, but give the true reason for your support, whatever that may be.

Oh shut up.. please!!!! With every sentence you do nothing but condemn AA’s as stupid, ignorant, unintelligent race voters. Al Sharpton NEVER got this much of the black vote, Shirley Chisholm NEVER got this much of the black vote, Jesse Jackson NEVER got this much of the black vote. Before Bill’s fucked up comments in South Carolina, Hillary was getting over 40% of the black vote. Consider for one second that MAYBE it was your FUCKING candidate. Why don’t you for one second, stop calling all of us who DIDN”T vote for Hill a bunch of dumb ignorant Niggahs, you uppity bitch.

After Hillary, Voting With Conscience and Pride
Time for Americans to find the courage and vote against the two-party plutocracy
by Joel S. Hirschhorn — Friday, May 9, 2008

This general election more than most will test the courage of voters to avoid lesser-evil strategic voting that has propped up our two-party plutocracy. People with intelligence and conscience must resist peer pressure and the temptation to vote against John McCain by voting for Barack Obama.

Of course, a McCain presidency that pursues much of the same policies and values of the totally inept and morally bankrupt Bush administration is something to loathe. But lesser-evil voting sustains our corrupt political system.

Nader/Gonzalez’08 — votenader.org

AMEN!

I am white; my son is black. (We both support Hillary although, at first, he supported Barack, because he’s black. Then he began listening to him speak. ‘Mom, he isn’t saying anything!’) I turned him on to the Boondocks books. Already a fan of Tin Tin and Spy vs. Spy, at first, he wasn’t interested. But I persuaded him just to ‘take a look.’ That hooked him. (And the fact that its author, Aaron McGruder, is a young black man.) The first book I bought was, Right to be Hostile. It’s a riot. Michael Moore wrote the foreword.

JUST FUCKING STUPID..

O.J. divided this country and we all know he is a double murderer.

WTF does this have to do with the price of tea in China. This goes directly to my point. So now Obama is a double murderer??? Right, right.. so by that conjecture maybe I’m a double murderer too?? Or all AA that didn’t vote for Hill, maybe they’re double murderers too??

JUST FUCKING STUPID..

You are such a typical arrogant Hill supporter. I take that back no your not. You know why? Because your on an island and just don’t know it. The undertone of racism on this site has existed for months. Red Dragon post that the Black Congressional Caucus is racist based solely on their name, uppity woman called blacks that voted for O ingrates (lol) because they didn’t vote for clinton. Just like you they got a bunch of amens and cosigners. They had a beauty contest with Michelle O and Cindy M., that’s where they called MO a black bitch, nappy hair, etc etc.. Your buddies. You and Mimi, hold onto each other hard, cause you som sellout colored girls. Because you put up with this bullshit just to be a part of the gang. In your case you’ve participated actively calling me and mine a bunch of ignorant niggers that you need to “call out”. Fuck you. Arrogant hater. Hang on to your goddess with your slave mentality. Crabs in a barrel.. that’s you.

I think you lied about everything. I don’t think you were ever a Kucinich supporter or a woman. I’m not sure you are even a Democrat. I think you are being paid by the Obama campaign.
There are words and ideas you use that are so phony they give you away. I won’t bother telling you which ones they are, because it would just make you a better liar, and you are already good enough.
Everything you write is a big lie designed to manipulate. It’s not working. Go do something productive for your family and friends instead of wasting your time intimidating us.

House n***r?
What does that make you, a field hand?
Us, them?
McBush?
Get real.

You are one angry person.

I bet you think that’s racist too, don’t you?

Why thank you Jackie. I try to just say no to the tinfoil.

The “mixed” aspect of Obama’s family tree is one of the things I really like about Obama because it should give him more insight and understanding into all races, colors, creeds yet make him beholden to none. It should be hard to discriminate against others if they’re all family. The key word is should.

Unfortunately he’s kind of in denial about his Muslim heritage and that really bothers me. His anti-smear site says he was not raised as a Muslim when he clearly was (mother’s second marriage, learned the Kuran in school in Indonesia, etc.). Why lie about it?

It’s not a crime to be child dragged around the world by your mother’s wonderlust. When it counted and he had a choice, he chose to live in America and later to be a Christian. There is an inspiring story to be told there if he chooses to tell it.

But his reluctance to stand up and be counted, to choose to tell the truth about a little thing no sane person would fault him for, makes him suspect in my book. Rather than being a man to stand up against discrimination against Muslims, he subtly condones and enables it (headscarfgate anyone?).

I invite you to look a little deeper at the threads on NO QUARTER. Some replies are sensationally written but this reflects the depth of feeling that posters have about the subject matter. Many of them DO make sense … you just have to be prepared to question your assumptions about Barack Obama.

I might look stone hearted, but if you ever feel suicidal, please don’t ask me to talk you out of it.

Thanks so much Regency! It means a lot coming from you. I absolutely adore your posts.

You’re right Doro, THIS makes me angry. When a black person publicly condemns the entire black race as ignorant, stupid, dumb, etc, etc. Just so THEY can have their two minutes of fame. It’s worse than the ridiculous bullshit that I read here and don’t feel a need to respond to. Iamonly1 is an idiot. It’s good she hides behind a keyboard and monitor. That’s where she should stay. The internet where drunkards and fools prosper. This is her domain.

Ignore McBush.

She is not. You need to get some help.

lol.. No such luck gotta stay around to correct all the fools like iamonly1. I don’t know what it is with her. Maybe a brother spurned her or her daddy left at a young age, but she gotta let that black haterism go.

Now you’ve done it McBush! I’ve ignored your fool ass for about 2 weeks, but consider the glove thrown.

You suddenly racially sensitive white Progressives and your Ratfuck Revolution has been filled with the most sickening, self-righteous piety for a man who is half-white, was raised by his white mother and white grandparents in a privileged lifestyle on a tropical island paradise that for this inner city AA was just a picture postcard.

Obama and his pathetic racist card-playing ratpricks have some nerve co-opting the tortured but noble heritage of the AA experience just to get his sorry unqualified/inexperienced, racially conflicted ass elected POTUS.

You have audacity to come here and try to get all up in iamOnly1′s face spewing the N-word, no less, coupled with one of the more ugly racist epithtets from America’s disgraceful slavery past.

Who the fuck are you? The white ‘Overseer’ of black racial identity?

And you have the nerve to try to call people here on race-baiting? When, in fact, the disgusting remarks that you have mentioned have been lambasted by most, deleted and posters even put on moderation, if not banned by Susan or Larry. And of course these remarks are about on par with the vile names Hillary is still being called on Obama boards.

You Obama fucks aren’t swilling kool-aid, you are chugging down pig slop by the throatful. And you all have some very deep throats.

Get this and get it real clear:

THIS IS A DEMOCRACY!

We here on this board are fighting to protect our democratic right to choose!

And no amount of shameful, despicable racebaiting, no amount of fascist stormtrooper violence is going to get in-between me and my one vote.

Obama is a biracial fraud! Nothing in his background even remotely resembles mine so I don’t owe him any racial solidarity, especially since he’s offered none in return.

But what he will get, come November in the voting booth, is my foot up his inexperienced, unqualified ass.

WIN WITHOUT ME!!!

Now I’m done with you. You don’t exist!

No Doro Iamonly1 needs the help. Up thread she indicated that AA’s frailties regarding racism is somehow due to rev wright. I’m guessing based on that alone she can’t be more than 15 years old. ANY AA that’s got any age to em knows where racist anxieties come from. She gives blacks no credit AT ALL, and acts so superior. She’s a fucking idiot and I’ll use her as an example to friends and families as to the type of sellout nigras out there. And it has nothing to do with her opinions of Obama, so much as it has to do with her opionions of the AA that support him.

Here’s the rub:

No white Democrat would get away without speaking to at least some black issues.

Obama spoke to the latino issue of immigration.

And yes, the POTUS is a president for ALL of the people. So why leave black people out?

I’m sure it’s beneath her to address another AA. Especially, one that supports O. She disgust me more than ANYONE on this site. Let me tell you I have read some bullshit on NQ. But sellouts like Iamonly1 are the worst. They knock other AA for their own edification. She’s not black.. she’s wack. Coming from Susan, LJ, Pagan, anyone else I wouldn’t feel so offended.

I’ve got some age to me and I know that white racism predates America.
So what?
Obama is an unvetted, propped up token presidential candidate whose greatest accomplishments have been winning elections his opponents dropped out of.
Saying so is not grounds to call somebody a race-trator.
His health care plan sucks, that’s why I don’t support him and do support HRC.
That and the fact that rather than spend time proving he’s worthy of anybody’s votes, he inspires people to misapply racial motives to questioning his lack of accomplishment.
When a candidate runs his campaign as if he is applying for the job of overseer, his supporters have no right to call anyone else a slave.

I know, I know.
Just don’t ask me when the time comes.

I’d like to think that it is BOBO that brings out the worst in his supporters, but anymore I’m thinking that his supporters are just the worst. We’ll almost, the left wing progressives fringe that supports him is equally matched by the right wing conservative fringe when it comes to worst.

so the fact that he grew up in his teenage years on the knee of frank marshal davis a memeber of the comunist party doesnt bother you,or the fact that a 33 unit apartment owned by rezko went without heat for over a month in dec january because rezko did not pay the bill but he did contribute to obama during the same period.this was in obamas senate district and it was reported in the papaer and to city authorities and was not a isolated incident.yea he really cares about little people.

Did you just use the term NIGRA…? You racist fuck.

Mimi.. you’re just as bad. You think these people are your friends. lol. Fuck you. We WILL win without you, of that I’m confident. I’ve pretty much ignored your post the past couple of weeks as well, because I felt SORRY for you, I still do. You witnessed them calling Michelle O a [EDITED BY ADMIN] and kept you’re sorry ass mouth shut!@! What kind of black woman are you!! You can hate O’s politics all you want but you stand silent for the epithets?? You’re a weak person. I never gave a [EDITED BY ADMIN] who any of you voted for, but your ignorance can’t go unchecked. Bow down to your goddess, she’ll be at home election night.

ADMIN NOTICE: IF YOU EVER WRITE LIKE THIS AGAIN, YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THIS BLOG.

You are one angry racist fuck. “NIGRA” Who the hell uses that kind of language. If you were my kid, I’d slap you blind.

Ok, win without us. LOL you won’t hurt our feeling at all.

someone beat you to it

This coming from a guy who called a AA Hillary supporter a “NIGRA” downthread. I’m serious WILDCHILD, McBush calls us racist but uses a disgusting term like that.

Then make the argument based on his health plan, the facts that he’s not vetted, has no accomplishments. I have no problem with that. I have scorn for Iamonly1 and others like her because they interject other specious arguments guaranteed to ingratiate them with some of the racist element on this site. In her article she repeatedly insults AA as being shallow, ignorant, and stupid. That’s my problem with her.

YOu can;t expect an BOBOweenie to be consistent… or principled.. or sober…

If I were your kid I would slap myself blind lol lol.

supporting a guy because of his skin color is pretty shallow, ignorant…. stupid.

He can’t hear you. LMAO He’s too busy feeling superior.

You used the word “NIGRA” to describe an AA female…YOU ARE THE RACIST.

It’s too bad your alternate heritage didn’t save you from the same fate.

How can someone like McBush go pointing fingers at everyone on this site and scream “RACIST” and think he can getaway with using words like “NIGRA” to describe an AA woman? Wow, just wow. What a dirtbag, racist fuck.

How? Because it’s Ok when he does it. The BOBOboy is fringe. Fringe doesn’t hold themselves to the same rules they hold you to. LOL Fringe doesn’t really hold them self to any rule. But they’ll sure hold you to all of them.

And you have the nerve to try to call people here on race-baiting? When, in fact, the disgusting remarks that you have mentioned have been lambasted by most, deleted and posters even put on moderation, if not banned by Susan or Larry

This of course is a lie. And it was Susan that wrote the article for the beauty contest. She provoked the whole ugly name calling thread. But hey, whatever helps you sleep.

LMAO in thread order, you responded to your own post. You’re a psyyyyychoooooo…

That’s odd. I never see any black family members in Obama’s ads.

I wonder why?

Let’s work on securing the nomination for Hillary in Denver.

OK?

Hi strawberry,

That video near killed me. It was like a hostage video. Hillary looked terrible.
I don’t believe for one second she supports that fraud. Regardless, I don’t.

I guess we don’t deserve the courtesy of any sort of coherence either, judging from your writing.

I agree, your post is certainly well thought out. But in truth, it is an individual point of view as is the one that follows.

I know many biracial people who do not adhere to an exclusive black identity. And they are not self-hating. I also know mixtures of AA and Hispanic and I tend to find in that case, the tendency is to lean to an Hispanic identity.

What does this mean?

That the black community is all over the place.

“So pointing out that his family are “Arab Africans” as opposed to those OTHER Africans would be totally meaningless.”

I think this quote sums up the problem: ‘willful ignorance.’ And that certainly is the perogative of any citizen in a democracy. Democracy guarantees you that privilege.

But no one has to respect a person for that. Nor does it change the facts.

Right now, Obama has made it cool to choose a black identity. Al Sharpton is very black in his identity, but no one wants to be Rev. Al.

So here is this biracial man, raised by whites, but has chosen emphatically to be black. AAs love this. In fact, one of the rifts with the latino community is that blacks resent the notion that a minority with whom they often share community and heritage can also be ‘white’ if they so choose.

AAs have always demanded that mixed race people choose. A biracial person is excoriated if they choose both. I witnessed this first-hand. My BFF is mixed heritage and unlike Obama she had the presence of her black family as well as her white ones. and because her experience was one of harmony, she couldn’t choose one or the other. And that left a bitter taste to her black friends. Because I was her closest friend, and had experienced the harmony between families, I understood.

Obama took great pains in fashioning his adult life to choose black. Because he is just a politician, and a very dirty one at that, I am suspicious of this choice. It seems expedient to me. Exploitive.

How do you erase your formative years? Remember, he has no African American relatives save the little girls he sired. My friend had full exposure to both sides. Her black side was very culturally black and we grew up in an urban AA community.

The cultural identity that Obama has latched on to is adopted and relatively recent. And yes, it’s his right. But it does not change his biographical history.

As a candidate for the highest office in the land, it’s fair for people to be curious and want answers. People questioned and probed and still probe Bill Clinton’s personal behavior, there have been lots of demands about McCain’s POW experience. His wife’s addiction to prescription drugs, Bill Clinton at on point was hammered and ridiculed about his ‘didn’t inhale remark.’

Obama, OTH, has been allowed not to have to answer anything. And his followers support this.

We are in an election cycle and decisions are being made. He can’t just keep shoving the race card down everyone’s throat and guilting his way to the WH.

He started out with “no more politics as usual.”

Well that lie has been exposed.

And since it has been we need to know more about the man who would be President.

That’s an old quote. Pre- Rev. Wright and all the other stuff.

But even if it isn’t, as an AA I’m excited for him. But I stop short of exhultation because of his background and dirty politician tactics.

Ultimately, he’s bad for the race, IMO.

I don’t believe for one minute the troll is black. Nigra?????

Oh please!!!

iamOnly 1,

Great post!

BTW, you are not the only one. There are many of us!

I am really breaking my own rules tonight by responding to your hateful post, but since in involves a young woman who has not deserved to be attacked, here goes. Whether or not McCain ever made such a statement depends on the original source; A writer at Salon. However, that in no way makes you better than McCain for repeating it in a public forum.

And BTW, you in advertanly told the truth about Hillary. She has shown time and again she holds no grudges and accepts attacks as an unfortunate by product of politics. In the senate she has shown no reservations in working with the same people who tried to force her husband from office if it served the public good.

If you think repeating something like that here serves any purpose in helping you achieve whatever it is you are looking for, you need to understand what this demonstrates about you and no one else.

I am responding, not as a Clinton supporter for McCain because I haven’t decided if I will vote for him or stay, but because I will always support Hillary.

That should be “stay home” because I will never vote for Barack Obama.

Blacker than black Mimi. Born in Biloxi Ms. the deep south back in the day. I make NO bones about who I am and what I believe. Which is why most of the time I can ignore the odorous crap on NQ. The gay guy, the tape, the magazine (lol that was stupid), and I just comment for sport. But when I see stupid shit that shoe shuffling good colored folks like you and iamonly1 post it’s highly offensive. You ever why I go out of my way to address you in those other threads? It’s because YOU id’d yourself as AA. And I chopped your sorry ass up the same way I chopped up homegirl here. It’s because you try to legitmize your statements with your blackness. You hate O for his white momma and grandmomma, everyone else here despises him for his African Pappy. You feed the hate with your idiocy and presumptiousness. “Blacks get mad at interacial people who don’t choose”. STUPID STUPID STUPID. We love Tiger in all is Caublanasian glory. Funny how everyone here thinks that us “Obamabots, Obamoids, trolls, etc, etc,” are after their votes. HELL no.. don’t want em from you hate mongers. Another AA guest put it succinctly, it would be nice to know what you are for rather than what you are against.

Thank GOD less than 10%. lol lol lol

But where is his offical endorsement?

Dear iamOnly 1,

Thank you for the eloquent, heart-felt post.

I believe that Obama is the worst thing to happen to race relations in the last 30 years.

He is a racist who has resurrected racism that was dead, and given birth to a new breed of it.

He and his cult followers behave as terrorists, intimidating and attacking people who do not share the same opinions as they do.

His biggest victims are the black people who are wise enough, like yourself, to see through him and his bs. You are being targetted by other black people as traitors to your race.

But you are also now victims of others like myself, a white person, who is outraged that black people would vote for someone solely on the basis of the color of their skin, especially after two centuries of fighting to end others “voting” or “choosing” white people on the basis of the colour of their skin, not just in jobs like president, but ordinary jobs!

Since Obama began his racial tricks and words, but more importantly, since witnessing black people support him for them only because he’s a black man, I now have no respect for black people.

I was under the illusion that black people were hard-working, yet black Americans are voting for a lazy-bum.

I have always thought that black men were more eloquent than white because that is my experience, so Obama, to me is one of the least eloquent of them from my perspective. For example, you IamOnly1, are an example of someone who is better spoken than Obama. White men don’t talk a lot – black men love to talk and everyone likes to listen.

I was under the illusion that black people would never vote for someone to lead them solely based on the amount of melanin in their skin, and would choose to follow someone to lead them based on whether that person could bring them to where they wanted. So this has been, for me, a tragic revelation and disappointment.

To me, someone who votes for someone because of the colour of their skin is disgusting. And as a result, I now find all black people revolting because apparently 90% of black people are doing so.

I constantly try to remind myself that there is that 10% who see through Obama and will fight against those who try to bully them to vote for black skin, and that these are the real heroes in this sad tale, but unfortunately, I don’t know who those people are.

And so, now, for the first time in my life, when I meet a black person on the street or in a public place, I no longer smile at them, no longer see them as good and fair human beings, as smart, but as racist pigs.

I see Obama and Wright the same way as I see David Duke, an ex-leader of the Ku Klux Klan. I could never ever support a Ku Klux Klan, white supremist – nor respect a race of people who supported their message or tactics or choice to follow. Ditto for Nazis. They are disgusting.

And therefore I can no longer respect the followers of Obama, Wright, etc… who I have concluded judge the world and its leaders solely based on skin colour. They are black supremists – and the people who like their message are extreme racists. They too are disgusting to me.

Not only has Obama and his supporters resurrected hate against black people by white people and hate against white people by black people, they have given birth to a new hate, by people like me who no longer can look at a black person and see a fair-minded, intelligent, open-minded person despite feeling that way for half a century. And thanks to Obama, I’m not sure I will ever be able to see a black person as anything but an extreme racist again.

If the number of blacks supporting Obama was 10%, I could. But 90%? I can no more ignore 90% black people voting for someone because of black skin than I can ignore 90% of Arab-muslems hating America because of their race.

I always gave every black person I met respect and they have always always proven that they deserved it. Thanks to Obama, I don’t want to give my respect anymore because it’s the same as giving respect to German Nazis or terrorist Moslem Arabs or Ku Klux Klan members.

I do, however, respect you, and others like you. But if I met you on the street and didn’t know, I would no longer trust that you aren’t one of the 90% black racists. And I am so, so sorry. I just can’t change my morals and the numbers state a truth that no wishful thinking can erase.

Before this happened, I could easily have supported some of the black congressmen for US president. Right now there is one only that I know of. She, like yourself, was harassed, booed, in Texas for supporting Hillary Clinton and for not choosing based on the colour of skin. She was one of my heroes before – and still is. You are one too.

I am so so sorry but I cannot change my new view of black Americans as being extreme racists who are so trivial and ridiculous and forgetful of their own history as to give a job they have the freedom, authority and power to give to someone solely on the basis of skin colour.

Since Obama began his racial tricks and words, but more importantly, since witnessing black people support him for them only because he’s a black man, I now have no respect for black people.

lol a by product of the Mimi’s and Imaonly1′s of the world. However, Anonym, I think you mean you have no respect for everyone black except that good old colored girl Imanonly1. I don’t need YOUR respect. Just show yourself for who you are. You don’t need an excuse like – many blacks voted for Obama instead of my candidate so I don’t respect them anymore. lol lol lol No really… IT IS AS RIDICULOUS AS IT SOUNDS.

One other comment….

My love of Black Americans died sometime in the last 6 months. It took several polls citing that 90% support of the extreme racist that Obama is, that 90% of Black Americans and Obama, to murder that love.

I am still in mourning.

lol mimi iamonly1 can you count the number of racist characterizations in Anonyms post. He/She is a complete idiot.

But 90%? I can no more ignore 90% black people voting for someone because of black skin than I can ignore 90% of Arab-muslems hating America because of their race.

This fools equates someone voting for a black person to hating America.

I don’t want to give my respect anymore because it’s the same as giving respect to German Nazis or terrorist Moslem Arabs or Ku Klux Klan members.

These are YOUR buddies.. lol lol

Not only has Obama and his supporters resurrected hate against black people by white people and hate against white people by black people, they have given birth to a new hate, by people like me who no longer can look at a black person and see a fair-minded, intelligent, open-minded person despite feeling that way for half a century

This is the crux of the downright stupidity of this article. Anonym, like iamonly1, has presumed that EVERY black person to vote for Obama has done so for only 1 reason. This is the by product of her stupidity.

This is part of the transcript of a News Hour Jan.4,2008. I ask you to read it with an open mind. I think you will notice Sen. Obama says he has not commented while he is commenting.

SEN. HILLARY CLINTON (D), New York: Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Clinton added, “The power of the dream became a reality in people’s lives because we had a president who said we’re going to do it and actually got it accomplished.”

Senator Obama responded in a conference call to reporters, saying, “Senator Clinton made an unfortunate remark, an ill-advised remark, about King and Lyndon Johnson. I didn’t make the statement. I haven’t remarked on it. And she, I think, offended some folks who felt that somehow diminished King’s role in bringing about the Civil Rights Act.”

ROBERT JOHNSON, Founder, Black Entertainment Television: I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues…

REP. JOHN LEWIS (D), Georgia: Judy, I knew Martin Luther King, Jr. I marched with him. I worked with him. He played a major role in inspiring people, giving people hope.

I also knew Lyndon Johnson. I was there with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on March 15, 1965, when we watched Lyndon Johnson deliver his speech in response to what was happening in Selma, when he said, “And we shall overcome.”

I looked at Dr. King. He looked at me, and tears came down his eyes. And he said, “We will get the civil rights bill, the voting rights bill passed. We will march from Selma to Montgomery.”

I think there’s been a deliberate, systematic attempt on the part of some people in the Obama camp to really fan the flame of race and really try to distort what Senator Clinton said. I understand and I think most right-thinking people understood what she said.

Let me say, Judy, President Clinton and Senator Clinton have a long record of working to bring people together. Long before President Clinton ever dreamed of running for president, long before Senator Clinton ever dreamed of running for president, they have a history, a very, very long history.

And no right-thinking, informed American would ever believe that President Clinton or Mrs. Clinton would do anything to use the race card.

lol don’t mourn. Celebrate your freedom to hate. That’s what this cite and people like mimi and iamonly1 are for. Hate is their presuppose.

Your post reaffirms what iam0nly1 wrote is true.

Good one! LOL

JFK never proposed mandatory service. He was responsible for the creation of Peace Corp which is a voluntary service.

LBJ was responsible for the creation of Vista, a voluntary service similar to Peace Corp except limited to the US Indian Reservations and poverty stricken areas of Appalachia. Bush was all hat and no cattle. Nothing ever done.

In which one did you participate? I worked on a Crow Reservation in Montana for two years.

It’s nice you still believe he will end the war. I have no faith in his words. There are some references I can provide which indicate he is at best unsure, at worst deceiving about his foreign policy in general, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan in particular.

One thing I believe completely, he will continue the Bush agenda in respect to missile defense systems in Poland and Armenia which could lead to a confrontation with Russia and possibly China.

He is going to let you down. Break your heart because, like the Dylan Thomas poem, The Boys of Summer, he has been created from bits and pieces of flotsam and he is a straw man.

He has said he admired the way GHW Bush handled the Gulf War so there is no indications he is anti war on moral grounds.

In one debate, he played a game of semantics with Hillary re the embassy in Iraq saying he would remove the reg, troops, but not the mercenaries ie Blackwater. He has mentioned a plan to keep the military in the Middle East bases near Iraq so they can go back quickly if intelligence shows a resurgence of al Qaeda.

Well, I’ve tried to reply numerous times and keep getting zapped. BUT, my comments about FISA (parenthetical comments literally) referred to the fact that in November, when I have to choose between Senators Obama and McCain, I am not going to let some rhetorical flip-flopping on the matter cause me to jump in bed with my KNOWN UNAMBIGUOUS ENEMY on things like healthcare(zilch reform), the war (100 yrs), the economy and reproductive freedoms, etc etc

Right. Just close your eyes and jump there sweetie. Anything oblowme says is gonna change. He says what he needs to say to GET YOUR VOTE … he only said nicey nicey on FISA, NAFTA and taking public funding so people LIKE YOU would vote for him over Clinton. Now that she’s out of the way, he doesn’t give a shit what he said.

McBush, you should post an article stating your case as eloquently as iamonly1. My guess….you can’t! You’re one of the egotistical, brain-dead morons that patrol a site only to make reactionary, lambasting comments. Your ilk never seems to be able to come up with something that is thought-provoking in nature.

beepop,
please get off your sanctimonious high horse. the clintons have been flip flopping for 20 years and you know it. they are ALL POLITICIANS and i’ve never said otherwise.

elise,
puh-lease. this is a fucking website that shot to fame most recently because of a TERRIBLE, SLANDEROUS LIE about a fictional whitey tape perpetuated by Larry Johnson. do you even know that??? people were wandering around all night like boo radley for weeks, wringing their hands, pacing the floors, waiting for the 9:00 am “whitey tape” that never came. fucking disgusting. since then i can’t even begin to chronicle the terrible, nasty lies i’ve read about Barack Obama and his beautiful wife (did you see the beauty contest betweeen her and Cindy McCain that was on here? I guess comments like “she looks like a gorilla” and “aunt esther” are okay as long as you preface them all with “i’m not racist..but”). what the fuck ever, save your touchy feely this ain’t a hate site drivel for elsewhere pollyanna, cos HATE IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS SITE PIMPS.

don’t know where you went to church, linda k, but as long as we’re swappping anecdotes, i went to a church as a kid that was nuttier than a porta potty at a peanut festival, one where the salivating minister DID preach hatred (couched in Biblical speak) week after week against gays and “fora-ners) and i don’t think my experience is that exceptional.

no steve, i’ve never called Mrs. Clinton a “whore” but i’ve observed many, many offensive and frankly disturbing insults hurled Michelle Obama’s way on this website. i even linked one particularly offensive thread every where i could, in which her photo was pasted up next to cindy mccain’s and readers were invited to vote on which they thought “looked like a nicer first lady.” the photo of michelle was an unflattering one and the one of cindy looked as though it were straight out of a senior photo shoot circa 1989, vapid gaze and gauzy airbrushing and all.

obama supporters are the real haters . ..they name-call and use vulgar language at every opportnity (check ALL of the pro-obama blogs for evidence of this). racism and incivility are co-equals. a lack of respect for any human being is wrong.

When he first ran you bots were proclaiming that he’s special because he’s not a politician.

I’ve never argued that he is special, or the Messiah. I’ve always found these claims over the top by Obama’s supporters. These claims are exagerated, like most of the claims of Hillary’s supporters that she is the greatest woman on earth etc…

I’ve simply argued that he is the best candidate in this race. I still think he is the best candidate in this race.

What an excellent post!

There have been so many AA on TV of late supporting Obama (in addition to the real support) and not many showing the ability to judge the candidate without a racial bias. I think this has been one of the most divisive issues actually. It is so refreshing (and important) for the Black Community to have people like you speak out because the hate generated by the blind support is nullified by your balance and comments.

Keep up the good work and don’t let them tear you down!

are you retarded or what……. Obama is a lying sack of shit.

Bosnia, Northern Ireland, the Michigan election won’t count etc…

Politicians are liars. All of them.

JFK never proposed mandatory service. He was responsible for the creation of Peace Corp which is a voluntary service.

I was mistaken about JFK. Still, the idea of some sort of mandatory national service has been played with by several politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

It’s nice you still believe he will end the war. I have no faith in his words.

Your choice.

There are some references I can provide which indicate he is at best unsure, at worst deceiving about his foreign policy in general, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan in particular.

Please do.

One thing I believe completely, he will continue the Bush agenda in respect to missile defense systems in Poland and Armenia which could lead to a confrontation with Russia and possibly China.

Never heard about his policy about the missile defence system in Eastern Europe. Will look it up.

He is going to let you down. Break your heart because, like the Dylan Thomas poem, The Boys of Summer, he has been created from bits and pieces of flotsam and he is a straw man.

I’m not in love with him. As I posted before in this thread, I believe and always believed that he is a politician and a human being with all the shortcomings that it entail.

I also believe and always believed that he is the best candidate in this race.

Thank you, my friend.

BIG fan of “Boondocks.” That guy is funny.

I remember he got in a mess of trouble for poking fun at Condoleezza Rice a couple of years ago.

Great post.

hey mcbush…. YOU should be ashamed of your narrowminded ignorance… Obviously your gene pool never managed to climb out of the swamp… Its either that, or this is one of those nasty side effects of drinking kool aid.

Geezzzzz… I PITY you son! You must live a miserable life.

your name – GenXDem, says it all… You have already provided us with youexcuse for YOUR ignorance and BLIND faith. WOW! Oh and which of bamas ideas are you in with??? The ones he mentioned yesterday or the ones form last week? Or no! The ones from tommorrw????

your name – GenXDem, says it all… You have already provided us with your excuse for YOUR ignorance and BLIND faith. WOW! Oh and which of bamas ideas are you in with??? The ones he mentioned yesterday or the ones from last week? Or no! The ones from tommorrw????

Naive in. Naive out.

whats a matter… You lose your xbox again?
You probably don;t have the balls to look your momma in the eye

Because obaama ISN’T McCain and we have already seen the ‘style’ of I’m not responsible for anything’ of obama

The point is that BHO is “preying” on the whole ‘white america had us in slavery’ thing to inflame passion in the AA community. He has no more connection to that than I do. -unless you count that HIS ancestry was a willing participant in the black slave trade. The bottom line is that blindly supporting and threatening those who do not jump the cliff with you, a FLAWED candidate is just plain INEXCUSABLE. What that means is that there is NO EXCUSE. And what the hell does it prove to anyone??? That you can GIVE someone a title??? The fact that MORE whites are willing to vote for a “black” man, than blacks who are willing to vote for a WHITE woman is what I find truly a double standard of racism. Apparently it matters not to the 90%+ AA community that their man is inept and unqualified and a baffoon and an INSULT to their culture. They can’t see how far BACK he is turning progress and real CHANGE in race relations in this country; and for what??? His own identity issues and massive pathologic ego! That is what I find so very VERY sad.

Thanks for speaking out and STANDING up ‘iamOnly1′. Thank you for your honesty and insight. Your wisdom IS hope.

Collin Powell has NO spine! He sold his soul a long time ago. His words on a tv mean NADA. Nothing.

AMEN!

Hey McBush – You have NO intellect or ablity to comprehend… Pity pity you. No wonder you are so easily duped by obamassole

“”Just because you’re black and you get away with a crime doesn’t mean you should be glorified for it. It’s ridiculous.”"” hey nit wit mcbush, from Mississippi (that explains alot!). This is the OJ thing… or is that too complex a theme for ye?!!!!

That’s because they’re under the bus.

Not because they’re black, but because they’re Muslim.

Wow! How abusive!

I can see here exactly what kind of BS black folks that show any kind of difference from the fad.

I feel for those that are bucking the mob. It’s horrible to be the target of abuse like that.

I’ve wondered about that also since she left the campaign. Nothing specific, but when Maggie Williams started running things there was different feeling about the emails and activate calling. It was more energetic and personal.

Congressman Ellison, Muslim rep from Minnesota, and the Women’s Congressional Black Caucus are responsible for the apology. Rep. Ellison provide their phone numbers. He had no intention of calling in the beginning. Someone from his staff had called to issue an apology. It was only after it became apparent this was hurting his campaign, he agreed to call.

It isn’t about race or ethnicity. It is about genetics. There are characteristics that are genetic specific. Sickle cell anemia is not found in any person without a specific gene found only in Africans.

This is evident in several different races where a paticular disease will show up only in one race. It is possible with DNA testing, to determine someone’s race or mixture of races.

Personally, I couldn’t care less. I won’t vote for him because the campaign he has run has been the personal destruction of someone who is, by far, the most qualified and honest and I have admired her for fifteen years or more,not fifteen months.

It does make me wonder why he has refused to make public his complete medical records and if there is a connection?

You could only wish that i was stupid.

90% of Americans are not voting for Obama. Only 90% of black Americans.

The difference between the percentage of black Americans voting for Obama should be the same as the percentage of non-black Democrats if it was not based on skin colour.

If it was similar, then I would be in error. It’s not even close.

The truth is that Obama is a liar. He is a thief. He is a cultish man who believes his own propaganda, that he is someone who is going to save America from itself or its enemies when the truth is that he is the opposite. Obama has stooped so low as to use subliminal messaging to convince people he is some answer to their prayers while they’re not aware of his psychological brainwashing. His terrorist tactic of asking his supporters to attack those who criticize him prove he is no different than Osama bin Laden or his first cousin in Kenya who asked his supporters to do the same. All three incite others to go out and attack anyone who does not agree with them. In the case of Obama’s cousin, black people were murdered for their beliefs, making them real martyrs, like those of 911 or the murdered and wounded soldiers in Iraq.

His rise to power is not the result of hard work, unless you think moving your lips is.

Obama is so lazy that he did nothing when he headed the Senate committee overseeing the war in Afghanistan and the one overseeing the ones in Iraq. He claimed he didn’t have the time to do his job? If he’s too lazy to do something when he has the opportunity to, nothing is going to change should he win. He will still have excuses for not doing anything at all.

Personally, I believe Obama did nothing other than volunteer for the job because he wants the wars to fail at their objective of peace and democracy and an end to moslem terrorism. He can give a billion speeches about how he cares about vets. It’s a lie. Like all his others.

One of the things I don’t understand is why black people think he will make black people look and feel good about themselves. He is a liar. Is that what it is to be black? He is a bum who thinks he can get by with his lips. Is that what it is to be black? He is a man who uses mind control techniques like subliminal messaging and mantras to brain wash people. Is that what black people do? He is a man who appeals to others to attack their fellow human beings simply because they exercise their right to free speech and their right to vote and have their own opinions. Is that what black people do?

The world has had lots of black presidents. In case you think he’s a milestone, he’s not. Africa is full of black presidents. The last UN chief was black. Being black and having power is nothing new. What really matters is do they know what to do with that power.

Obama preaches change, but he can’t even change his wardrobe. He says that he can deliver on world change? I don’t believe it, and one of the reasons, is that he still won’t change his friends. And when he does, like with Wright, it’s only because the person insulted or embarassed him – it doesn’t matter if that “friend” insults every American.

It’s all about Obama. The election should be about America – and the world.

I agree with most of what you say , and I like yourself am not voting for Obam because of his race, but his superior policy stances compared to McSame.
Only a sellout (of Domestic needs) would vote for anyone but Obama. Does McCain Represent you and the Black Community. Obama is far to the right of me and the MSM thinks he is a liberal. I was a member of the Organization that asked Obama in St. Pete “what about the Black Community”, Uhuru Movement- real community organizers. I voted against Obama twice, once for mayor in Chicago( you won’t find this race, but it happened)and when he ran against former black panther Bobby Rush. I don’t agree with Obama on everything, but do agree with him more than any white guy I ever voted for. I doubt If Obama will ever have time to address the Blackk communities real concerns, Drug laws, No jobs for fathers to stay home with children, TANF (fuck Bill CLinton),
I’m voting for Obama So at least my three boys will believe they can be anything if Obama wins. When Obama loses it won’t effect me emotionally because molattos just became African-American in 2000. remeber in the nineties, Obama types prefered
Bi-racial, I’m Black.
