    FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
    knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

    I don't want Obama for president because he has no experience. He's only been in government for a little over a year. I'm not racist, but I don't like his democratic beliefs. I don't believe in abortion (if you're responsible enough to have sex, then you're responsible enough to have that baby), I don't believe in taxing the rich, (or the poor), and I especially don't believe he knows enough to do it.
    Don't think I'm just being racist. I wouldn't want a woman president right now anyways. Not because she is a woman, but because of how bad our economy is right now. Right now we are in a pit, and most cultures around the world believe women are inferior to men, so electing a woman president, to them, will look like we are weak. Imagine a woman trying to have a peace talk with a leader that believes that women are supposed to be submissive and serving to a man. It just doesn't work, the world isn't ready for it.
    In fact, I'm not even sure if I want to vote for McCain, because I believe we should take care of our environment, I believe that we should find alternative fuel methods to oil, I like the idea of government health care, and I don't want to raise taxes. As the election season moves on, I will be looking out for who seems to be the better cantidate.

    What about the Muslim community, they have invested 10's of millions to help Obama get elected. This is the first chance the Arab nations have had to really influence American politics and they are spending their money to help make sure he wins.

      Dumbo, you pedophile, murdering maniacs are almost extinct. You were a genetic accident in the first place. GOD is going to rectify that big mistake, redneck. You won't even exist in another 100 years or so. You people--whites--are the most hated race on this planet. You have caused the most horrific wars, genocide, and sexual diviant behavior of any other people. It's a shame that Obama is going to have to represent you pigs as well as the other normal Americans--dumba$$ dumbo.

    I reject the premise of your racist question. Something to stir the masses? It is Obama's weak character.
    He smoked crack in HS. He stayed 20 years with Rev wright Hate filled sermons. Bambi regrets accepting Rezco$ money. He funneled money with terrorist Bill Ayers to Lib groups while wasting $100 million dollars of Chicago schools money. His answers of the abortion issues are as weak; as it was above his pay grade to decide when life begins. Hey, its just for the lib votes. A Baby... or Planned Parenthood's MONEY?

    He says he want to help the poor and with the same breath will push laws killing a poor defensive babies with no rights.

    He is a consumate politicatian, bred deep in Chicago land thugs culture, who plays to whoever he needs to screw. All americans who vote for this loser should bend over and enjoy. It is about character, as MLK says look at his history of rogue alliances and character choices. It is not about skin color, it is about the content of his character.

      Bush snorted coke (probably with his druggie daughters), and is a known drunk just like his pappy. Shut the fu*k up. Obama is going to be the next Prez.
      How stupid and unqualified is mccracker?. He picked palin as his running mate, and thought the people who supported hillary felt slighted enough that they would vote for him. Her qualifications--she can she her a$$hole from her toilet seat. Racists like you are cowards. You can admit it. We don't know who you are. You racist rednecks don't want Obama for Prez because--HE'S A BLACK MAN!

      Jose52, didn't you get the memo? The Obamites (and most of the media) have decided that you don't need to do so much complex reasoning... "It's the skin color stupid" is their new campaign slogan. In a nutshell: vote for Obama - you've made an enlightened decision, vote for McCain - you're a racist. Simple. Don't cloud your decision making with all those "facts". And if you bring that "morality" thing into it you're not to be tolerated. Got it?

  • Posted By: Doc Howl @ 10/15/2008 4:18:15 PM

    HAR HAR! If the preceding comments by terrified white republicans is any indication, their reaction to an Obama win will be nothing short of hilarious.

    You're about to have your first black president. Get used to it, America.

      Funny stuff there. And no mention of the fact Obama is just as much if not more a white man then black LMAO (ya hate it dont ya? lol ) Who exactly were the people whom raised Obama, a black man who abandoned him or a white family? What other black man can you think of who is as accomplished and as articulate as Obama who does not have a mixture of another race coursing through them. I know I know Tiger Woods syndrome at work again. Hate it as much as you want. Obama will always be half white, You can't change that fact by continuing to call him solely a black man. It's a fact, deal with it.

      Poor fella hates the white in his own eyes don't ya?

      • Posted By: THE RAVEN @ 10/21/2008 10:16:51 AM

        Get over it, sportyspice--Obama is a black man. In this country, that tainted white blood polluting his system means nothing. Half white? I'm laughing so hard I almost pissed on myself. And whether uncle tom woods thinks he's black or not means nothing, cracker. You rednecks can claim him if you love him that much. He can fu*k all the white wh*res he wants, he's still BLACK. And you and I know that this country made him and Obama BLACK the day they were born.
        He was not abandoned, either, whitey. Rednecks like you are so funny. You honkies really believe it is his white part that makes him smart. HUH? No. that's the part that makes him a bad basketball player--idiots.

    How are the white folks going to feel if he loses? He's half white don't forget!

  • Posted By: changeiscoming @ 10/19/2008 10:17:20 PM

    Oh God, why do we have to keep making this a color issue? Isn't the fact that Obama is leading McCain enough not to make people worry, why would they worry? The more attention we bring to the fact that Obama is HALF BLACK (and half white) does not help. It's really not a color issue, it's an economic issue. Articles like this do not help Obama. America is ready for a NEW GENERATION change and that's what Obama brings. It's the new against the old mindset. I know there are prejudice folks out there, but articles like this just make it worse. When are we going to rise above it? Obama's going to win in a few days, let's stop embarassing him with this color stuff. Another thought....when you're poor, what's wrong with socialism? It seems the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Obama will even it out.

    Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!! He admitted to Joe the Plumber than he wanted to spread the wealth! He said that he wanted to make everyone equal! Is America ready for Socialism? The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, said today that he is glad to see the end to capitalism in America!! Are you glad?????
    ====================================================================================================


    Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

    The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
    Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

    Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

    Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

    Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

    Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

    It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

    Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

    Everyone of voting age should read these two books written by Obama, 'Dreams of My Father' and 'Audacity of Hope'. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves.

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "I never emulate WHITE men and BROWN men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

    And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

    From 'Audacity of Hope', "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

    PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TO BE HELD SUNDAY AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

    The Free and Equal Elections Coalition (FREE) and the Columbia Political Union are pleased to announce that a Presidential debate will be held this coming Sunday, October 19th, 2008, on the campus of Columbia University.

    ALL SIX of the Presidential candidates who appear on enough state ballots to acquire the 270 Electoral Votes needed to become President are invited. They are as follows (listed in alphabetical order by affiliation):

    Constitution Party Candidate: Chuck Baldwin
    Democratic Party Candidate: Barack Obama
    Green Party Candidate: Cynthia McKinney
    Independent Candidate: Ralph Nader
    Libertarian Party Candidate: Bob Barr
    Republican Party Can John McCain

    The Columbia Political Union will present the debate from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in the Altschul Auditorium, located at 417 International Affairs Building. The debate will be moderated by Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman, the host of "Democracy Now!". CSPAN will cover the debate, and live radio broadcasts are expected.

    "The Columbia Political Union is committed to energizing political discourse on Columbia's campus," said Allon Brann, Columbia Political Union Publisher. "As a non-partisan organization, we work to provide students with opportunities to encounter and engage with political ideas across a wide ideological spectrum, and on a wide range of issues."

    "It is with these goals in mind that we have organized this Presidential Debate: to give all candidates-- either within or outside of the political "mainstream"-- the opportunity to speak directly to students about their goals on the issues they deem critical for this country."

    "We have invited all eligible candidates, and it is our sincere hope that all will participate, to ensure the substance and rigor of the dialogue which we believe is crucial at this time."

    Certified letters officially inviting each candidate have been sent to the respective campaigns.

    The Free and Equal Elections Coalition and the Columbia Political Union await the response from the candidates. All candidates' supporters are encouraged to contact the Presidential campaigns and urge them to attend.

    The Columbia Political Union seeks to enhance involvement in the political process, domestic and international, and draw every member of the campus community into an ongoing discussion of political ideas.

    What about Hillary Clinton supporters? Obama got fewer votes, but formed the VP search committee.

    IS Axlerod Obama's CHENEY!

    In a normal election year, Obama's link to Wright's "black values system" would disqualify him from the presidency in the eyes of most Americans.

    1. Obama told a crowd in Elko, Nevada,"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and neighbors. I want you to argue with them and get in their face." IS THIS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? DIRTY POLITICS!

    2. When Stanley Kurtz began researching Obama's ties with terrorist William Ayers, the papers in the Richard J. Daley Library in Chicago were at first closed off to him for several days, apparently at the bequest of Nobama supporters. When Kurtz was appearing as a guest of Milt Rosenberg's radio show, Obama's supporters were ALERTED by campaign email and jammed the radio station (WGN) phone lines and sent in hundreds of protest emails.IS THIS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? What happened to free speech? DIRTY POLITICS!

    3. Last month, St.Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned citizens that they would bring libel prosecution against anyone who made "false" statements against Obama. What happened to free speech? DIRTY POLITICS!


    4. Similarly, the Obama camp called for a criminal probe of the American Issues Project when it linked Obama to Ayers. DIRTY POLITICS!

    5. Saturday Night Live ran a spoof of the fininacial crisis that skewered Democratics like House Chairman Barney Frank. The tape disappeared from NBC's Web site and was replaced with another that omitted the reference to Frank.

    6. Obama sent 31 of his hired employees to Alaska to ASSIST in the Troopergate investigation? WHAT WAS HE THINKING? Just more dirty politics to try and dig up dirt on Sarah Pallin? DIRTY POLITICS!

    IS AMERICA NO LONGER THE LAND OF THE FREE?

    THE LACK OF INTEREST IN KNOWING JUST WHO NOBAMA IS IS STUNNING!

    Obama and his wife went to a church for most of his life listening to a pastor who hates whites. I really don't see how any white person can honestly vote for this man - I would love to see a qualified black person in the White House. There are so many great ones; this one is not. He is a socialist who will not deliver on what he says. He funded close to a million dollars to promote voter fraud. These are the facts - and also the issues

    The lead in African Press International???s (API???s) ???Mrs. Obama decides enough is enough??? comes well down copy:
    ???My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband???s adoption by his step father.???
    In other words, according to the overzealous, you???re-all-racists wife of candidate for presidency Barack Hussein Obama, the fix is already in.
    The candidate???s wife treated the Norway-based API as if it was already under the command of a Barack and Michelle-run White House.
    With an arrogance that can only be described as stunning, Michelle Obama said API would earn an invite to hubby???s upcoming inauguration ceremony when he will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year, if only they wrote a ???good??? story.

    "Press Releases

    AJC Strongly Condemns Rev. Jesse Jackson's Comment on American Jews
    October 14, 2008 - New York - The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has condemned the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about 'Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.'
    "Rev. Jackson's remarks, which appeared in an interview with the journalist Amir Taheri in today's New York Post, echo classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said AJC Executive Director David A. Harris. 'This statement, regrettably, is not the first troubling comment by Rev. Jackson regarding Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people.'

    Arguing as a private citizen that an Obama administration could bring significant change to U.S. foreign policy, Jackson was quoted as saying that "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would lose much of their influence should Senator Obama be elected president."

    And people are upset about raciest comments some in the crowd are allegedly saying at Palin events? Isn't this the same Democrat leader who once called New York "Hymietown"?

    How would the African - American handle an Obama loss - simple, they have to honestly concede to the fact, that Obama does not have the political wisdom to efficiently manage in a presidential capacity. If he does win, I would personally consider it the greatest political & psychological absurdity of the 21st centuary. There are other African Americans out there with far greater political exposure than Obama - get them interested in occupying the White House.

    As I read this article I became sad. The idea that until know the black man doesn't count upsets and depresses me beyond belief. Perhaps I am a naive young woman who has never had to experience the racial prejudice that I have come to understand most have. I believe whether Obama wins or losses this election it is a win for the whole of african-americans living in this country. He is the proof of yes you can. Even if he were not to win this election who is to say that he or anyone else of african-american decent can not come back next election and win? I read in this article that if he doesn't win it is the end all be all for african-americans in this country. As if this doesn't work it should never again be tried. Shame on all you people who have this defeatest attitude. Stop giving up on yourselves, your beliefs; defeating yourselves before you ever really get your foot in the door. The doors that are opening are monumental. Step up, heed the call. Make sure your children believe that they can achieve all things like college - becoming lawyers, persuing political careers, becoming senators, congressman, and becoming presidents. Nothing worth having has been easy. If it is given easy it is not appreciated. I think that is why more people need to consiously work to make the choice to advance themselves into leadership positions in this country to envoke the change that this country so desperately needs. We will not get a fair shake until we do this. The people who have the money don't care about us. It doesn't matter what color, background, any of it. What is happening now is pure proof of it. All the distractions, half truths, all of it coming from everyone in the government. All meant to keep the little guys mind realing why those that have the power do what is going to be best for them and to hell with us. We need to become involved. It is no longer safe to believe that all is well as long as nothing is wrong with my life. They are going to try to placate us with some tax reliefs and other incentives but I do not hear that the incredable over taxation will be obolished. Government has become way to big and intrusive in the economic lives of americans. I believe the term is stealing us blind. We do not protest because we have defeated ourselves before we ever put out the offensive. It sounds like this: What can I do? Nothing that I can do will change anything. People don't care for my issues. It won't change so why bother. This is the very mentality that has keep the american people feeding those fat cat liers for so many years and it needs to stop. Become the difference. Believe, educate, take action, succeed.
    Become the difference.
