I would say that it is all bogus, but if I do — even as a person of color — I will be labled a racist, so I will just shut up. I can’t afford to fight Obama’ lawyers or withstand the ruinous media focus that would surely follow. Yeah, mouth shut… definitely mouth shut.

Obama is the one who surrounds himself with racists and anti-Semites of the worst kind, including Al Sharpton (Google on “Freddy’s Fashion Mart”), Jeremiah “God **** America” Wright, Michael “There were a whole lot of white people crying” Pfleger, Otis Moss (who thanked God for Pfleger and the latter message), and Obama’s fellow churchgoers, who gave Pfleger’s statement a standing ovation.

The problem is not the color of Obama’s skin, but the content of his character–or rather, his total lack of character. In “Dreams From My Father,” Obama says essentially that he was ashamed of his own mother’s race, and he belittled a Black classmate for having a white girlfriend–the kind of relationship that led to his own birth, and that would have been illegal “miscegyny” under racist laws that had only been recently abolished by the civil rights movement.

Yeah, Barry, we need to have a long public discussion about racism in this election: yours.

Bill – do you think the “ashamed” part about his mother has more to do with her abandonment of him at certain intervals of his life? She was a wacko to begin with, perhaps this is why he has such a hang up with whites and females.

Exhibit A – HIllary Clinton.

As an African American who grew up in the south with parents of light complexion, you really don’t know what it’s like to be different until you are put in a situation like that. There is no resentment. You want to understand, you want to fit in. You want to be considered, “normal”. Black kids think you’re a freak, white kids acuse you of trying to be like them. You are in pergatory. In trying to identify youself in a country where what you look like is everything. That can be tough on a kid. I’m impressed that he has been able to overcome all of these obstacles and decided that he wanted to help change the world for the better. It could have been so easy for him to go the other way. That’s why I feel that the emotional hell he had to go through made him a strong person who can inspire and lead people of all racial backgrounds.
I met Al Sharpton. Does that mean I associate with him? I’m sure you have had conversations with a white supremacist. Does that make you one? Politicians will always try to attach people with “questionable backgorunds” to anyone that is successful in an effort to further their own cause. The other parties will exagerate the associations to further their cause. You make it sound as though Obama will be rolling up to the White House in a Hummer Limo with Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Rev Wright and the Black Panthers in tow. Last time I checked, we still had three branches of Government that will not allow one to have absolute control of Government.
Stop spreading fear. George Bush did enough of that in his second election.

First of all Erayng,
There would be, if BO got elected, totally Democratic executive and legislative branches of government, so there will, in fact, be ‘absolute control’ on the part of the Democrats. Secondly, your arguments are about as logical as the black community feeling vindicated when OJ was acquitted for Nicole’s murder. (would it have been the same if he’d killed his first, black wife?). This black person (can’t call him a man), who has NO interest in the black community, kills his white wife, and all of a sudden goes into the black community for support, and thanks to Johnny Cochran (who, incidentally had an interracial affair which produced a child) goes free. No, you don’t get vindication in acquitting a guilty person, you get vindication in freeing an innocent one. So you have it wrong. These are the people he associated with for YEARS!!!!!!!!! (20 in the case of Wright, who, btw, gave Farrakhan a ‘lifetime achievement award’) If McCain had so much as bumped into David Duke in the Dairy Queen, it would be ALL OVER THE NEWS, and he’d be labeled a racist, and his career would be over. But you think that people should give BO a pass for some reason. And these are not just casual acquaintances, he received his FUNDAMENTAL political ideas from them, one of which said he wished he’d ‘done more’ referring to bombs, and whose wife said that ’sticking a fork in that pigs belly, wild’ referring to the Sharon Tate murders. No, if the shoe were on the other foot, you as a black person would be scared shitless that someone like that was getting into office, and that’s exactly why we are working to keep it from being so.

Eraying, you are the perfect example of why black people are voting for Barack, not because he is credible, experience, trust worthy, you choose to look the other way on the voter fraud and all of his other deficiencies – based on his color.

Shame on you.

Eraying – below is some education on your heritage:
Martin Luther King, Jr.

(1929-1968)

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 at his family home in Atlanta, Georgia. King’s grandfather was a Baptist preacher, and his father was pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church. King earned his own Bachelor of Divinity degree from Crozier Theological Seminary in 1951 and earned his Doctor of Philosophy from Boston University in 1955. As a Baptist Minister, he was an eloquent civil rights movement leader from the mid-1950’s until his death by assassination on April 3, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee where he was there to support striking sanitation workers. King registered as a Republican in 1956.

As pastor of a Baptist church in Montgomery, Alabama, King led a black bus boycott. He and ninety others were arrested and indicted under the provisions of a law making it illegal to conspire to obstruct the operation of a business. King and several others were found guilty, but appealed their case. A Supreme Court decision in 1956 ended Alabama’s segregation laws enacted by Democrats. After this success, King was made president of the newly established Southern Christian Leadership Conference. King led the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his most famous “I Have a Dream” speech. King became a national hero as he promoted non-violent means to achieve civil rights reform. He was awarded the 1964 Noble Peace Prize for his efforts, and President Ronald Reagan made King’s birthday a national holiday.

Yes, and what King said was ‘content of their character’, which BO is lacking. So what you’re doing Eraying is doing the OPPOSITE of what King stood for.
Even King’s NIECE is voting for McCain because BO is so left-wing!

My gods… If you support someone other than Obama you are a racist. Does anyone know what the definition of racist is? So this 12 year old girl thinks that white people are genetically superior to non-whites? This is the definition of a racist and no one cares anymore.

Calling someone a racist is about the worst thing you can say about someone. Yet we have allowed people to do away with terms like bigot or prejudice. Now we just call you a racist. Like we don’t all know bigots or people with prejudice. When 98% of African-Americans vote for Obama there isn’t anything to be said but if a white person votes for McCain, said whitey is a racist.

Fucking idiots, you got a bunch of prejudice bigots voting for Obama by a 98-2% margin and white racist voting about 50-50 for Obama. You got folks like Oprah and Colin Powell endorsing a black dude but we are to think it isn’t cause Obama is black. Pullleeeeessssee we aren’t that stupid.
