Misconceptions of Obama Fuel Republican Campaign

typical….republicans are just plain stupid…..

how PATHETICALLY sad…

Omg are the Americans really this stupid `??? Im glad I live in Scandinavia!!

“Obama and his wife. I’m afraid they could be anti-White.”

HAHAHAH LOL !!1 He him slef is half wite you ass, those rasist farmers just wanna create hate!

“Just the whole Muslim thing. A lot of people forgot about 9/11. I don’t know, it’s just a little unnerving.”

Forgett?? Because of the way you think you old man! and the way George Bush thinks, you have created two wars!!! .. isn’t that enough?

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash. Because we’re not!”

Old man, that is something you have dreamed or somethig, he never said anything like that. Why would he when he is half white him self?

– “I’m afraid if he wins, the Black will take over.”

OMG LOL! ..The black people are not as stupid as you!

– “When you’ve got a Negro running for President, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

A negro? You should be ashamed of your self. You make me feel embarissed over beeing white, You make the white people look stupid with those comments.

AND YES I CALL HIM OLD MAN TO OFFEND HIM.

YOU NEED OBAMA! THE WHOLE WORLD SEES IT.

crazy fucCked up ppl
where the world is going to?? tsss

OMG. ******* dumb people. Obama’s dad is black and his mom is white. People are so stupid.

Im in Canada, i havnt really been keeping up with the whole election campaign but i know most of my friends are with obama,
Reading this pisses me off, like really these ppl must really be racist and slightly demented in the head to say these kinds of tings?!
“im afriad if they win, the blacks will take over” WTH kind of comment is taht, that is something definitly coming from a racist person.

The only good thing about this clip are all the comments made here about how appallingly ignorant all these people are. How can there be so many misinformed, misguided, and clearly racist people out there? If only people like myself and others who don’t live in the US could vote. The outcome of this election is going to affect every nation in some way or another. Let’s hope it’s Obama!

@melissa
You’re about as dumb as the folks in the video. Michelle Obama DID NOT say she hated America….now go back to school and get an education

yeh, OBAMA is “black” soo WHAT?!?!
America NEEDS the change….
Some people are too ‘dumb’ to even realize what America needs. How pathetic….. He’s fighting for what we need.
CMON “THE BACK WILL TAKE OVER?!” you’ve got to be kidding me!

Sometimes, I’m even ashamed of being an “American..” to this point.

Seriously, people need to stop with the racial comments. What if he was “WHITE” then what?? The whites would be voting for him ON THE SPOT!

AHH! forget Sarah Palin…!!!!

well good for the taylor guy and his friends

wow they are sooo ignorant its embarrassing!!!

maybe if they read about Barack Obama they would know that he is half white himself!!

as for Palin bringing honesty and integrity?? o_O!! WTH!!! they are delusional!!!

we’ve always been told that america is the best example for people to live equally. but having to read this sort of things from a guy whose grandparents are emigrants aswell makes me sick!

republicans act like this is a highschool election for the next class representative only. but no it’s about your future!!! do you really want to have kids leading you?

obama is clever enough not to comment these attacks against him.

lol jared, it’s bias like this that has people turning off their television sets. do you take money from the obama campaign?

The facts are facts

Obama is saying he’s for clean coal
Biden said he is against clean coal
Biden said taking coal is ‘raping’ the earth
the bible says that the people are entitled to utilize the resources of the earth so that we can survive, but I guess the bible has little to do with todays democratic party, with the abortions and everything.

If BO wins, one things for sure, if the ‘fairness doctrine’ is put into place for the media, JustJared will have to provide BOTH sides of everything or it won’t be able to post such biased material.

This doesn’t exactly help my prejudice that americans are generally stupid. And before you eat me alive, you did in fact put George W Bush in office, quite possibly the dumbest man on earth. And fyi, these dumb ***** are fueling their own fire by saying these things to an arab news-channel.

All I can say is that I’m glad I moved out of this country! I’m afraid for Obama’s life, if he gets elected.

If you put these racist people in office, you deserve everything you get. Americans needs to see that who you elect will not just impact you, it will impact the entire world. If you elect this dumb cow and that old man that is a heartbeat away from death, i hope you all.. yeah i wont even finnish that sentence

Sorry, Eddie Jones, but your lame excuse does not validate the ignorance that was shown by the clip. Before you point out that Obama and Biden don’t agree with each other, please, look no further than McCain and Palin! McCain thinks humans are a contributing factor to global warming, but Palin does not (heck, she doesn’t even know what’s contributing)! Also, McCain is not for drilling in ANWR, but Palin is! McCain wants to talk softly, but carry a big stick, Palin on the other hand doesn’t really think so! The list goes on and on! Please! It goes both ways, not just Obama and Biden!

Not voting for Obama does not necessarily mean that someone’s a racist, but that clip clearly showed that those people are ignorant and racists! No matter how informed they are they are still going to be the racists rednecks that they are! They’re probably the same morons that voted twice for Bush! They deserve the predicament that they’re in right now!

These are the same ignorant and stupid people that elected George W. Bush the president of the U.S. twice!!!!!!!!!
So sad.

Oh My God. “He must support terrorists. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me, is Obama.”

And this is said by a 60 year old man…. an adult. An adult with freeking iq of a child that doesn’t know better.

This is freekin scary.

Go Obama!

OMG. I’m so angry at those people now, how can they say such things!? :@ Wtf, “he must support terrorist” :S Why :S They are so stupid. So lame. If I would love in that little village in Ohio or a place where they are like that.. I would go crazy.. I can’t handle that ****.

And the guy that supports Obama, how can they say that he is the N word, a muslim, an un-american and so on.. såna idioter. Jag blir cp arg på såna idioter. Jävla fördomar de har. Hehe, sorry for writing something in my own language :P

I know that everybody in the USA are not stupid.. but these people are soooo stupid. I can’t belive that they are against black people and muslim and says that Obama supports the terrorist. I’m sure they would be hurt if I would say that I don’t like white people and I think that the people who do believe in God supports terrorist and are stupid, huh! They would not be happy if I would say that.. but that’s not my opinon. So I would never say that, but you understand what I’m saying..

THIS is why i’m SOOOOOOOOOOO glad i’m not American!!!!

What’s hilarious (albeit slightly terrifying) is that you guys will probably vote in McCain and Palin the way way you voted for that GENIUS President you have in office now.

I know obviously not ALL Americans are that stupid but these are the people who are voting in the majority otherwise how else would George Bush be voted in… TWICE??????

i thank GOD i’m not American. I’m sorry, but I really do…..

how can obama be muslim can they ***** get the facts right before they talk
most white american are ***** racist and i am white
if they dont like obama beacouse he is black than they can just go and jump u must be really fuked in the head to say that ****
I HOPE OBAMA WINS AND SHOW THOSE RACIST MOTHER FUKERS
GO OBAMA

i am glad i am not american i be soo ***** embressed
what the *** wrong with them and how can obama be muslim
cant they ***** get the facts right the ***** dickheads
go obama
can u americans get anymore ***** stupid all what

What about the misconceptions about John McCain, or the lies that the Democrats tell about him? Are you going to post any of those? Jared’s just another guy in the tank for Obama.

Or, on the other side, let’s see you post a video of people talking about how they are supporting Barack Obama ONLY because he is black. It works two ways, you know. Yes, there are some who won’t vote for him because he’s black, because there’s just as many who are only voting for him because of his race. What about the blacks who will not vote for a white man and think McCain is a racist? Do we ever hear about them?

wow..that video just makes me feel terribly sad…and he is not even muslim!

this is really embarrassing! They have nothing to say! Thier comments was so stupid! Please america, vote Obama! I just get so angry at those people! But the really wierd thing is that no one has something to say, they’re just talking crap!

@ sillyme!

So you’re saying that it’s okay for these ignorant people to keep on being the dumb racists that they are? It’s people like you that keeps racism alive! When there’s clean and clear racism being put forward, people like you will turn away and refuse to acknowledge it! Quit complaining like a little girl!

If you’re too stupid, then go get educated! On the other hand, I don’t think college will do you any good! No matter how informed and educated you are, you’re still going to be a closet racist!

Some people are voting Republican because Obama lacks the understanding that in order to fix the U.S. Government, MAJOR changes have to be made, not empty promises of tiny changes. Not everyone who is voting Republican is doing so because they’re racist or ignorant — and I certainly hope that everyone understands this isn’t Ohio’s point of view. This is a few voters who are stuck in the past.

@sillyme post 50

first, obama is mixed, representing america’s society of the present.

when you say many people will vote for obama, because he is “black”, then you must also assume, that the us-women will vote for the republicans, because of palin. that’s just not that easy!

the remarks of the people in the video just show the bad conscience of the people. they know how cruel the white people have been to the blacks in the past and that bad concience has evoked their fears of being punished. therefor they have not just shown how stupid and ignorant they are, but they have also indirectly confessed that they feel guilty for how the white have treated the blacks.

dear eddie jones, the last time I checked -the US was not a theocratic country (see Israel and Pakistan for example). therefore i do NOT believe that any political party has a need to vote according to religious scriptures here. Unless of course this is what you’re aiming for and in that case, i’ll take the next boat out of here with the dug up coffins of our founding fathers and the constitution so I can reclaim our country somewhere a little less fanatical.

Everyone should buy a black-and-white TV.
Problem solved then?

Obama/Biden ‘08

OMG, the ignorance of some people.
Despite the fact these people are running for presidents and VPs they are people. I am sure outside of this all they are good people. I recently seen on TV McCain actually defended Obama when at a rally a member of the crowd said these things about Obama and McCain took the mike away and said something like that Obama was not a bad person he is a good family man and that they just have different opinions on how to run the country. It is all politics. These are people competing for a job. I would actually not vote for either of these candidates, and would of voted for Hilary if she was still in the running. Obama has a stong personality and is a great motivational speaker. I believe what he says, but the fact that he has celebs doing his ads kinda puts me off him a little. Making it hard to take him seriously. McCain, I have respect for him after I read the exclusive he did with his family in People magazine and the fact he stood up and defended Obama in that rally. I would not vote for him at all as I do not agreee with anything he has to say and he seems too old fashioned and not willing to change. The world is changing we need to change. Plus Sarah Palin is a joke. I am sorry.

@JJ

Give the evidence!!!

wow. those white americans are scary @.@

from malaysia

The whole world is watching America and shaking their heads.

@shine

Save with palin, who lacks experience AND knowledge?

Save with the republicans who caused the financial desaster?

Wake up yourself!

Jared,

That’s it for me. If I want to have left wing political rhetoric thrown at me I will go to NBC.com. This is officially it for me and this site. I hope others will find their entertainment fix on a variety of other sites that refrain from selective samplings of indiividuals that are as ignorant as the same selective left wing ideaology which for me at this point includes you Jared and this site.

How about some one on one interviews with lower class Obama supporters? Maybe from Luis Farrakhaan and the gang OR better yet Ayers and Wright. OR let’s see a clip from Reverend white talking ignorance about whites. He is no different than these ignorant people you are featuring and trying to represent as a base of McCAin supporters.

You are ridiculous Jared.

JJ is right. I just checked out everytjhing he/she said and it is right. WOW.

You are absolutely right Eddie! I’m so very tired of coming on here and finding that kind of stuff that for the past several weeks I have refrained from doing so. Now Jared, run out there and post the stupid comments of the Obama supporters because GOD knows how many of them have been spoken!
And for your information, not ONCE, but THRICE Michelle Obama said that this was the FIRST time she has ever in her adult life been proud to be an American. (Well for goodness sake, her husband is running for the highest office in the country!) I think it’s a total shame because the judgment of both Barrack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama is so horribly skewed that this country is in for the worst depression it has ever had should he be elected. You do NOT raise taxes when the economy is suffering this badly! The media is so outrageously biased it is absolutely pathetic!

By the way, I happen to be American and my views couldn’t be FARTHER from the opinions of these mid western farmer people. They are truly a disgrace to Americans and mankind with that kind of attitude! I am embarrassed to be associated with such people.

Honestly, it shouldn’t be a wonder that Americans think like that. They have the God like syndrome anyway.

A country with a history of 200 years built by mercenaries, fortune hunters and criminals looking to make a quick buck stepping on the corpses of all native population. A country which allows its citizens to die if they don’t have insurance. It is not mind boggling that people consider Palin holly, but the fact that this country ever managed to call itself great.

Republican hold only one thing holly - start new wars around the globe so that the oil companies and gun manufactures can make even more money while the simple folk keep losing their homes from the financial disaster they have brought upon us..

McCain-Palin MUST BE DEFEATED so the smaller percentage of ignorant whites of America can be truly educated for the first time in their life! I can overlook a great deal more in those of the black culture (whose ancestors were oppressed as slaves by their white owners) than I can ignorant whites who by virtue of the color of their skin have experienced greater opportunities in this country and still remain uneducated and bigotted.

Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have incited racism and hatred on the campaign trail from the ignorant whites who attend their rallies. If anything were to happen to Senator Obama, Sarah Palin needs to be held accountable.

@Miso

I couldn’t agree more.

I have seen chauvinists in my travels but saying that he didn’t put his hand on his chest or blind loyalty without ever questioning anything has only been seen in the middle ages with Cardinals and the inquisition.

For God’s sake, you have brains - use them. How can you be proud to be an American when you’re the only country that doesn’t sign the environment act to limit pollution, when you’re the only country starting wars so that your gun industry can flourish, when you’re the only country that demands other countries to surrender their war criminals while you refuse to do the same with your own, when you detain people in Guantanamo bay without ever seen a lawyer or ever having a trail? Need I go on?

are these people stupid -
first - people haven’t forgotten 9/11 it was a big deal
second - can people actually be this ignorant!?!
third - “I’m afraid if he wins, the Black will take over.” yeah last time i checked he’s half white.
just becasue in the years before you might have treated them like slaves doesn’t mean there going to snoop down to your level so get your head out of your ass and start listening.

VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!! Please they need a change to realise there are other people in this world not just republicans. sarah palin is joke

WTF is wrong with those people ?????? it’s such a shame !!!!!!!!

It’s people like this that give the US a bad name. I’m embarrassed of that kind of trash. Of course they are republicans.

These people help me to vote for Obama. They will be soooo mad. Ha ha ha.

wow, these people are sad. i blame lack of education.
i really hope these people were dumb enough to not register to vote because they’re bringing hate.
and what’s this about a christian nation? this nation was founded because the pilgrims wanted religious freedom…isn’t what this country is about? freedom from persecution?
wow, i’m pretty ashamed to be associated with these people as an american.

Why does this video surprise anyone? The people attending the McCain/Palin rallies are the ‘base’ of the GOP Party (and Palin would draw Evangelicals and small town folk to rallies). In small towns and cities across the nation, race remains a hot button issue. While the media has chosen repeatedly to ignore this factor in regards to how people will vote on election day, I think it will weigh very heavily with voters. I live in Florida and racism is heavy in the Panhandle and across some sections of central Florida.

For example, if someone from CNN calls for a poll, how many people are going to honestly admit that race may influence their vote? Probably not too many (how many people have you met who have started sentences with, “I’m not a racist, but…”). I think we are being ignorant if we think race may not cost Obama the election. Once people get in a private voting booth, they are free to express their prejudices and stereotypes without anyone knowing.

We will just have to wait and see what happens election day. Meanwhile, I will be extremely proud to vote Obama/Biden!!

im really afraid, that obama doesnt win…
it relly would increase the hatred in our world, i really hope the usa won´t make that mistake

I studied in USA & Canada twenty yrs ago and have many friends there. I visited often and whenever I can. I cannot believe that this election is boiling down to racial issues. What if Obama is really Muslim??? Is there anything to say that a Muslim or a Black cannot be Pres. I have Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Catholic friends. I go to church with them during the holy holidays. Same I celebrated Bar Mitzwah with my Jewish friends. I am Buddhist. I am not anti any religion as I believe that all religion teach us goods not evil.
Most importantly in this election, pls study the issues not a person background. I am anti killing of animals and humans. I do not believe that war solve problem. Tolerance and understanding of each other alway are the best way to deal with problem.
I want to see the best man who can solve the economic/ financial woes and give hope to Americans and the world. We have enough of natural disaster without having to solve man-made problems.
George W Bush has created many problems and he is leaving behind a lot of problems to be solved by the next president.
With regards to Ayers, is what Palin is saying is history or is he still the same. Can a person past always be held against him.
Good luck to the guy who get elected because USA is facing is most difficult time. The world is watching as what affect USA will affect the rest of the world.
To all American, plse elect the best man for the job.
Plse keep racial issues out. Palin, plse keep to important issues and not raise racial issues. Do not incite the yr followers this way. It is not good for yr country. If voters are not voting for Obama because they believe he is Arab, Muslim, anti- American, a terrorist then it is a sad day for America.
Plse inform yr voters to vote on what they want to see happening to USA and themselves in the next 4 years. Vote for the change they want. Plse let’s hear about these changes.

AJ (#95) I love how you never address what is ACTUALLY said in this video. If Obama supporters are all cult followers then what the hell do you call the people on that clip? Those idiots take the word of a flyer and a woman from Alaska that they knew nothing about a few months ago! Read, ask questions, travel, open your heart and your mind! Be a true christian and do not hate someone because of their name, colour and/or religion. Its sick that children are being raised to believe this insanity and ppl like AJ etc have no problem with it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ MEredith

“Patriotism”?

You hide behind this word to cover for your country’s gross criminal behaviour all around the world and then you wonder why Americans are not as popular as a nation as they used to be. What is it, the McCarthy years all over again?

Oh sweetmotherofgawd… I swear, there must be something the in the damn water over in the US..!!
In Europe presidental election would be shut down if one third of the **** thats happening over there would happen here!!
C´omon people!! REALLY! Are you this thick??!!??
The whole thing has turned into a proper joke!! Look at yourselfs!!!

After 43 white Presidents over a span of 219 years, I doubt there was ever a moment when the question of race ever came up white Americans (are any other Americas since it seemed a fargone conclusion that a white would be President ) .

I know no one white has ever wondered if a non white interests would be less served if a white was in office.

Why is it Obama has made an effort in those places alledgedly full of nothing but the so-called hardworking white American vote like SD, Omaha, and Nebraska, but McCain-Palin haven’t even thought of a meet and greet in Harlem, or Miami, or Southside Chi-town, or East LA, or China-Town?

Don’t answer the question because it doesn’t matter one bit. It’s perfectly ok for the mindsets in the video to exist, but Rev Wright is the racist. Yeah right.

jpf

There are plenty of dumb and uninformed people from both political sides. Just vote.

I find it incredibly disturbing that Just Jared has jumped on the smearing political bandwagon by “uncovering” this kind of crap…there are ignorant Americans all over this country - to suggest they’re all Republicans or McCain supporters makes you as ignorant as they are.

# 109 Name @ 10/16/2008 at 9:12 am Are they aware he’s half white?

That would only matter if the white half looked like them.

jpf

105; Oy, aren’t you the clever one? Would you be so kind as to give me 3 good reason to dislike Obama without mentioning his race or the word terrorist? I will give you iq- points if it actually has something to do with his politics

This is ignorant people, they don’t represent Americans, nor American people.

disturbing how ignorant and stupid some people are

Yellow Rose: I see nothing wrong with what he said, he basically said that he wants to change the world perception of America. I understand him completely, I’m a norwegian myself and I don’t think I can come up with one person that still admires america. It’s about 7 years since I was impressed by you. Yes i cried for you during 9/11, but that is the last time shed any compassion for you. If you manage to elect McCain now, you deserve everything you get

@ #123 Yellow Rose

Finally someone with no delusion of American grandeur!!!

So the constitution wants you to be sheep and force you to salute a flag even if you don’t feel like it and brand you unpatriotic if you don’t follow blind all such demands? Wow, how democratic of you…

Then again America can’t be accused of being built on democratic principles but rather the rules of the gun….

We as proud Americans have DEFENDED your countries against these very terrorists we are fighting today.

All of the non United States people should not even be allowed to comment on this Presidential race. The only time you care to be the least bit informed about the nominees for the position is when your own countries are at risk. And Jared, like many others that have seen this post…..I am another that is appalled by your blatant Hollywood and Democratically skewed blog…. Impartial any?

You know JJ I wish you would also put up the interview made by Howard Stern. Same type thing where they interviewed nothing but black people and the same damn thing happened just vice versa. You are going to get idiots on both sides, but that doesn’t mean all people are idiots. You know JJ, if your going to show this one you ought to have the other one. I mean it’s all about being politically correct isn’t it? Or is it just politically correct to make white republicans all look stupid?

These are ignorant white Americans who will tolerate a stupid President like Bush for eight years who ran our country into the ground, but would NEVER accept a smart black president! Racism in this country is till so prevalent. I pray every night that Obama does not end up like Kennedy with a bullet inhis head! This video is sad but does show and remind Americans that we still have racism in this country.

Obama distanced himself with whites growing up. Proof was when he threw his white grandmother under the bus calling her a racist. Remind you the grandmother who raised him.

“Proud Americans? Defended your countries against these very terrorists?”

America didn’t defend anything else than its own interests. Where you can make money and exploit, that’s where you go. I’m not saying that America is the only country that does that, but come on, open your eyes!
You people are so brainwashed into believing you’re all heroes, it’s pathetic and it makes me sick!

As we may need to remind some people, America is on earth, it’s not a planet, and it doesn’t have supremacy over the rest of the world. “Proud Americans”? Have some humility and acknowledge your mistakes for once.

don’t you people see michelle and osama HATE WHITES, they will destroy us, they are laying down the red carpet for terrorists and violence, they want the destruction of Israel.

micelle and osama mean the DEATH of America, we MUST be scared of them because they are scary, they are up to NO good.

Palin is an angel sent from heaven by comparison, she will grace out White House. What ever she needs to learn she will learn. She will bring no harm.

Wow, we found someone who’s even more stupid than Palin herself.

Congratulations n°140!

The only problem that I have as an American with this sort of website is the propaganda factor. Do you honestly believe there are not the same racisms and ridiculous beliefs on the Obama side? YET I have not seen them posted here or really anywhere else.

Instead of repeating commercials, hype and rhetoric….. why don’t we find out the facts? What the real truth is, not just being a sheep that believes and follows everything it hears? Most of the comments here have proposed that Republicans are stupid, racist or behind the times.

I especially like the post that they were “fat, dumb and ugly.” OH, that was an inspirational intelligant comment. Truly based on factual information. YEAH, OK.

if you guys have an ounce of common sense and reasoning left… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!

Europe

“White people”, “black people”. It seems like on both sides, some of you don’t like their neighbour because of her or his colour.

My father is black and my mother is white. My husband is white. I have three brothers-in-law, one who’s from Madagascar, the other one from Jamaica and the last from Zaire. That’s why I don’t understand why is race such an issue in Amercia.

This country is weird…

Oh good lord…that is some scary ****!

The problem here is the all this people can’t accept the fact of a black man is so close to be the nex presidente of US , so they call Obama Terrortist muslim, so ignorant and embarrassing to be a american.
more than ever I want Obama to be the next president of united states

Once again some people (you know who you are) are weighing, that have no clue. First of all unfortunately, this election is about race. Some people will vote or not vote for Obama because of his race. Some people wil vote for McCain because he is white and they will never vote for a black president. I VOTED FOR MCCAIN….WHY??? more experience than Obama…period…end of the story. Second reason…it is utterly ridiculous to think that Obama will not tax businesses(one of which I own), that make less than $250,000…when over half the people in this country do not pay taxes…THAT IS FACT!! I do not like Obama’s dodging and ducking questions concerning Bill Ayers and ACORN. Last night he FINALLY had the guts to address the questions, but too little too late for me. He is too perfect and too slick. Noone is that perfect or slick. Another reason, people will vote for Obama is because they THINK change will happen. Maybe, it will, but it will not be much and it will not be positive, that is for sure. As for those of you who do not live in the United States…be quiet…..it is not your election. Everytime your country gets in trouble or needs something…..your country’s politicians look to the United States for help and we help. SO SHUT UP!!! Now, I have said my piece, and will back to work, which real middle class people do, unlike Obama who claims to middle class and is not…..

“No one is as blind as he (or she) who will not see.” Folks who are scared about a man of color being our president obviously don’t know that he was raised by his white grandparents and white mother, that he used foodstamps as a boy, that he lived without a dad, that he is a slef-made man as opposed to the son of a Navy 4-star admiral, and that he attended an amazing southside chicago church for years BEFORE he started to run for office, which makes HIM a christian as much as Palin is one and which means he is not a muslim. NOT that that should matter in regards to the separation of church and state when it comes to a president’s faith!

I just hope all thge church-going believers don’t buy into the BS rhetoric that the Republican party is the christian party, because they are NOT. Caring for the sick and the poor and the orphaned is as much a christian virtue as protecting innocent life, and the Democrats are more about those issue than big busienss-based Republicans. Besides, how pro-life can you be if you’re for saving unborn babies but then sending them off to war to die or kill innocent civilians once they are grown-ups?!!

Lastly, Obama is right-on when it comes to thinking about our huge need for energy independence, a more responsible life style for americans in the future, and the need for education for all young people.

Poor senator McCain - all he can suggest is offshore drilling (that’ll help for about 1 year), stayiung in Iraq, and taxing health benefits.

And let’sa not even get into the emancipating psychology for America’s kids of color if and whenj Obama beocmes president. Finally - a black male role model who is not an actor, rapper or basketball player!!!! G’Obama!

You bleeding heart liberals never cease to amaze me…You can’t see the forest for the trees…Osama Obama is just that….a muslim, terrorist loving half breed that plays the race card whenever it suits his purpose. He has abolutely no idea in the world what sacrifice is…Has he ever given up anything in his life for anyone else…Oh, I guess he was too good for the military. Sen McCain knows what sacrifice is and he knows what a fight is and this country in in foir the fight of it’s life if you damn liberals don’t open your eyes and see that all osama obama is is a professional politician with his own agenda. He doesn’ t give a damn about this country…He refuses to respect the flag and the National Anthem by placing his hand over his heart…and as a career military man I find that totally appalling. He’s only in this for himself. Maybe this country does need change but not the type he talks about…the only change you’ll see is the change at the bottom of your pocket after he taxes us all to death and that’s all we have left is change….
So wake up people….open your eyes….McCain the the ONLY logical choice for this country. His selfless, passionate love of country should inspire all you left wingers out there…How do you feel knowing that your canditate has the official backing of Hezbollah…
So, call me a racist or whatever you want…I don’t care….That’s all this country needs is a half breed president with a rag head name that has no clue in the world what he’s doing….now, doesn’t that make ya wanna have group hugs and sing kumbayah

I feel sorry for the ignorant people out there

congratulations to that brave man advocating for Obama on the midle of this racist trash

Here is some light reading for those who can’t think for themselves: http://scaredmonkeys.com/category/barack-obama/ & http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2006/12/barack_hussein.html but I’m guessing you won’t even go there & the lings will probably be removed so that others can’t see the real issue that American’s are dealing with.

Blind leading the blind.

I wasnt going to look at the video or comment, but I just wanted to see for myself what the good people of this country has to say, my heart is truely broken! I mean you know they hatred between blacks and whites as well still exsist but OMG! This is indeed a sad day in america.I was mixed on who to vote for but now I feel more like voting for obama more than ever.I hate racism! These people cant be christians,God doesnt promote or put up with hatred!!!!!

This video is even worse

I honestly think I’m in love with you DOC! Hooray!

Lovely Jared, quote the morons. Way to stir things up. These idiots don’t represent everyone who questions Obama and his quest for the presidency, BTW.

Doc I have one thing to say to you: Bahhh! Bahh! Stupid sheep. Go follow your military shepherd. Logic seems to be one thing an ignorant military man like yourself lacks. Think for yourself. Even inteligent military men and women support Obama, not the military-industrial complex and the Republican party.

I am not a bleeding heart liberal; I’m just educated. I am liberal because I am educated. Conservative beliefs led to some of the world’s greatest human rights disasters: The Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Darfur, the Hutus and Tutsis, and even the Salem witch trials. Go ahead and stick to your conservative ways.

i cant believe the racism… its so sad that ppl still think like that.
I beg you all to vote for Obama, lets vote for change!

I’m embarrassed to be a white american! OMG who are these
dumbass people? How ignorant and misinformed can they be?
Typical simple minded Republicans stupid beyond words, they seem to be the same everywhere but with different accents!!!
We need to put some Democrats in Video’s so the world can see
that not all Americans are complete IDIOTS that are clueless and
lack wisdom and class - c’mon someone out there should be able to post some video’s :)

i am white and if i lived in the US i would totally vote for obama.
the interviewed people are all ignorant and stupid. this is really sad

doc-

I have to say you sound a lot like my husband.

Thank you once again Doc. And I don’t mean just for your words, but for your part in fighting for my freedom and rights.

negro???? nice people the americans are.

As a black male in America this posting disgust me to my soul. We live in the year 2008 and we still have backwater rednecks who think it’s 1808 what the f***! This is why black people feel the need to hate whites and not trust them because even though we have moved forward in terms of racial relations and tolerence, Blacks are always and forever viewed as seconds class. It’s almost like whites in America are two faced. One side will smile in a blacks face and maybe shake their hand but when the doors are closed when they are with their own they just hate us for no reason. WTF!

“mchat “,what happen wiht the spanish???u are some problem??or with the asian people??latinoamerican people????european people??…
people like u,is the reason that i embarrassment belonging to other people….ouch..yakees!

Annaspain,
Get a life. Why don’t you go into some of the rural black areas of America and conduct a similar interview. You’ll be amazed what you hear!!!!!

Give me a break!!

You can’t seriously tell me you fall for this BS…

The liberal media has been controlling the minds of the young people of this country for several decades because they believe every lame video, like this one, that they see.

Even if the people in this video were not paid to make these stupid statements, they would still be the exception to the rule.

Make no mistake, whether you are democrat or republican, the media would like to lead you by the nose. No matter who you vote for, be educated through research, such as studying the voting records of the candidates, etc., NOT by listening to commercials paid for by the candidates and CERTAINLY NOT articles and/or videos produced by the media. Get both sides of the story. You won’t find it here.

First of all, the few people that actually believe that do not represent the entire Republican party, so anyone saying how stupid and ignorant the entire Republican Party is have just as many misconceptions. So honestly think that there are no Democrats who are completely and horribly closeminded?

Everyone is so upset about this video and talking about how Obama will be able to fix all the problems of this country. But voting for McCain doesn’t mean that the people in this video gain any type of power. They are still going to think that way regardless of who is in office. I think people should be more upset that there is still such hatred in general and stop pretending it’s some great reflection of who McCain and Palin are.

Take it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

Well Said. Do your own research on both side with open heart, eyes and mind before you vote! >>>>

…and that’s why I am proud NOT to be an American!

annaspain-

If I could make any sense of what you wrote I could probably respond better than I am going to, but I will try.

First of all, saying a lot of people want to live in this country is anything BUT a racist comment. That’s just ridiculous. It is a pure FACT that there are thousands of people applying for citizenship from other countries into the United States of America. So, just like many liberals, how about you stop throwing the race card around when it’s not warranted.

Yes, I am embarrassed that there are people of my party that would spew this hatred, why that insults you I have no idea. I am defending my party because the majority of us do not think the way the people in the videos think.

As for John McCain supporting the views in these videos, I suggest you watch coverage of the rallies in which he cuts people off and calls Barack Obama a good man and repudiates people’s claims that he is an ‘Arab, and a scary individual’.

ALSO, good for you that you have pride in your country, as I have pride in mine. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else either. I have fully taken advantage of being an American and all the oppotunity that supplies me with. I am a 27 year old WOMAN with a law degree. So see, I also believe in education, that’s not just indicative of Spain.

I am a pro life mother of two, I believe rewarding for hard work, helping the lesser fortunate recieve training to help accomplish their goals. I believe in small business (my family owns one and they get taxed like crazy), I believe in Government guidance but not interference. I do not like war, but I believe that we as a such a strong country must stand up for the rights of the weaker, I also believe we must stand up for our own rights. I also have the upmost respect for our soldiers and am more than proud that my best friend of 16 years is one of them, a 28 year old female who has been to Iraq twice.

I wave an American Flag in my front yard, I have a McCain sign right next to it. I pray to God every night to protect my children and thank him for all I have.

But I also believe in the equality of all people, regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. And yes I believe that everyone has the right to get married.

That is who I am and what I defend. That is also closely in line with who John McCain is and what he defends. Just because I am not voting for Barack Obama does not make me a racist or uneducated.

Feel free to ask any more questions, I have plenty of answers.

I can”t beleive that this country still has people like this. If they wouild just onoly get over their own ignorant prejustices and beleifs and except new things, they would be so miseralbe and hateful. I mean it’s the 21st century and these people are still living int he in the 19th and 20th. Times are changing and so should they.

crap, tthis is for al jeezera(sp?) news too, so you’ve got all these hicks talking about obama as a muslim terrorist…soooo embarrassing….

Well Chris…since you don’t feel that this country is the greatest in the world then I’m quite sure that there’s some country out there that would welcome you and your anti american ideas….
Now, as far as you “guns and crosses” statement….do you honestly think that those rag heads would actually sit down and talk things over??? If you believe that then you wasted the money you spent on college…all those people wanna do is kill you…that’s all….kill ALL infidels…Hey Chris, ya know what an infidel is??? I’t anybody and everybody that’s NOT A MUSLIM…..so, that includes YOU….and your family….Oh , but I guess you’d wanna have group hugs with them huh…..

Doc @ 10/16/2008 at 11:59 am

IT”S A WAR……

It sounds to me that you were in the military. If so what do you think you were getting yourself into? Both side of the party thinks they are right and both side will fight to the death. Did you expect them to be inferior to you because you though what you were fighting for was right, greater than yours? Did you think God will be on your side because you are a christian?

Take a moment and calm down set aside your feeling and go back and read your post! My god i don;t know why it still surprise me to hear so many angry racist people out there. And please don’t deny that u are not racist because your post is just a neon sign with RACIST, BIGOT all over IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We should be embarrassed. And yet, I am not surprised. The level of misinformation (ignorance) is evident in every comment on this video. How different are we now than we were in the 16th and 17th century? This video shows that we are no different and racism today is an embarrassment to this country after its deplorable history of slavery and what happened during the Civil Rights Movement.

IT COMES TO A POINT WHERE I AM ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN! REDNECKS SHOULDNT EXIST!!
IGNORANT FOOLS!!!

PLS VOTE FOR CHANGE!!

#206

It’s funny how you hate fanatics ( for muslims and fanatics are not the same people ) as you obviously are one yourself.

OMG!!! I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion but, PLEASE! I can’t believe these are the people responsible for helping select our leaders plus the fact that they are reproducing and raising our future generation. McCain is a good man and may have been a good politician when he was younger. He is now out of touch with reality. He calls everyone ‘his friend’ in the debates…not mine. His choice for a running mate proves that. She also may, in the future, be a good politician but for a beginner in the political arena to ALREADY have so much baggage is incomprehensible. She’s PRO LIFE..has a 6month special needs child but doesn’t bother to stay home to raise him. The other children were important enough to warrant her staying home. So, this one doesn’t? Abuse of power in her state of Alaska? Sounds like this pit bull needs some obediance training. She says she fights against the BIG BOYS in politics but it seems like she’s already pulling the same garbage she’s accusing them of. Abuse of power??? The rumors of an affair with her husband’s best friend and business partner??? 17 year old daughter pregnant???? Seems to have a considerable amount of baggage for her SHORT amount of time in politics. No passport, never been out of the country…omg…are they serious? McCain never even met her but once in passing before asking her to run…how desperate is he??? It wouldn’t matter so much about his choice for VP if he wasn’t so old. Nothing against the aging but seriously….where does he get off calling himself and Palin a breath of fresh air??? I am terrified for our country. The economy is a shambles. We ARE a laughing stock for other countries. These people interviewed are the ones responsible for the 8 years of Bush…how can they be so irresponsible as to make another blunder with the MCCain/Palin ticket ??? Not that democrats are perfect or haven’t made their share of mistakes BUT it’s time for a change. Unfortunately, no matter who wins this election…we must pull together as a country and continue to TRY to vote into office people who truly represent our concerns…not easily done…our choices are too limited. Consider this people….1) Term limits..change the blood more often in the House and Senate. 2) President is elected by popular vote…ditch the electoral college. 3) Straight across the board 10% income tax…no exemptions or loop holes. 4. CEO’s held accountable for actions (jail time)..no bonuses in the millions and billions of dollars. No man, woman or child requires a pay scale in the millions which includes sport figures and celebrities. Get real people! Okay, I’ve said enough….just one woman’s opinion.

How do you spell idiot? R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n

About Palin, how dare you people call her a joke. Would you guys do some research of what this woman has done before spewing any hatred? Don’t you want a VP who has 80 percent approval rating? Don’t we want a VP who toppled down a very known and powerful corrupt fellow politician? Who’s in her state gave back the money to the Alaskan people instead of spending it over some wasted projects?
Don’t we want a VP who’s for energy exploration and for safe drilling?
and also sympathizes special needs children because she has one and cannot bear to abort this precious life inside her? And in the other hand, Obama who is for some weired reason remains calmed and can maintain that for hours oviously, is too weiredly perfect that it’s hard to tell his emotions. Don’t you guys find it scary? We can never tell what his thinking or feeling.

Hey Heloise…..I’m really not concerned with your opinin….I have no idea where you are but it appears that you’re not in the USA….and if you’re not here, then I’m so very thankful for that because we don’t need any more liberals …..It’s so easy for foreigners to sit on the fence and look at us and criticize….I guess it’s also easy for many foreigners to forget that if it wasn’t for the Unite States of America coming in to bail out their asses they’d be speaking another language…Hey france, are you listening???
And as far as traveling is concerned Chris…I’ve been to more countries on this planet than you could ever imagine…probably some of them didn’t even have names….lol …In many of them I really enjoyed myself but needless to say, there are a few that I didn’t particular like….
No one made me join the military when I was young…I was raised in a family where duty, service and sacrifice was expected and I gladly served my country…..and bled for it so you people could have the right to say this stuff….Unlike the candidate you support who was too good for the military….He’s a LAWYER people….How many of you can actually say that you trust lawyers….??????????????

Mary Diamond you really really need to some serious studying woman! It was John McCain that stood up for us on every single issue related to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He was the one that wanted to insure that none of the CEO’s were just out for their millions. The Freddie/Fannie thing dates all the way back to Bill Clinton and you really need to study up on it because you have shown your stupidity over and over again with the nonsense you are spouting.

Why do you suppose the Al Jazeera produced this video?
And why is JJ posting it?
Wake up people and start thinking for yourselves! It’s bad enough that some of your comments are from things you’ve heard from news commentaries that are so biased, and now you are going to be influenced by Al Jazeera.
Do you honestly beleive that these people are the Republican party? Then you are as ignorant as they are!

Most of the Whites that spew this racist venom are uneducated, uninformed, and believe what ever someone White tells them. They also have nick names like Bubba and a sister named Sue!!!

This makes me sad to be an American to see in 0ver 50 years of history, we still can’t see past color. American is a big melting pot of people of various colors- George Bush Sr. has a Cuban mixed grandchild!

I do believe that Sarah Palin is a joke. I feel like she is a very bad representation of women. She tried way to hard to seem “normal”, when she isn’t. She is just like the rest of the politicians. She can’t even hold her composure in a t.v. interview and she wants to have a hand in running our country. And in her debate stating that you are not going to answer the questions that are asked of you ??? I think Obama’s calmness just shows professionalism and a good quality that is needed for leadership.

If the white trash helt to elect odama, it will be the end of America for the rest.

You probably went to Berkley or some other super liberal school huh Chris…You can go on and on about how science can explain everything but I’d sure hate to be in your shoes when your standing at the gates and St. Peter asks…”what are you doing here??” Control mechinism huh…..lol….yeah right….
You’re probably right about the war thing Chris….every religion has it’s own bastardized form at some point….I’ts just that right now it’s islams time. And I’m realy happy for you that your friends don’t wanna kill ya….lol Just give them time….
Also Heloise, I’m not angry or bitter and I’m certainly not stupid…..lol Perhaps you might care to go straight to Al-Jazeera’s website so you can watch more one sided propaganda in osama obamas favor….

I am happy that I am not American and I would never live there. Your country is rotten!

I think it’s safe to assume that if you are a “Democrat” or a “Republican” then you pretty much have your minds made up and you are just walking around with blinders on. You’ll believe what ever comes out of your respective candidate’s mouth (true or not, right or wrong).
I’m college educated but finance is far from my background. So I will listen to what those experts have to say about each candidate’s plans, not what each party’s spokesperson has to say about them, because you know their opinions would be biased.
Being well informed is good, but consider your sources.

The level of stupidity and ignorance of some people in this country is shocking and embarrassing. We can only hope that Obama’s education plan can help the descendents of these morons.

Alyssa…………LOL You’re so funny!

Oh my gawd, it’s a KKK rally. Well I’ll be darned, thought that ended years ago.

And oh, Doc I’m pretty sure I can wipe my ass with your “doctor-degree”

Jared, I come to this website in order to read about celebrity gossip. Could you leave politics and your obvious opinion about the election off your website? I don’t care if you clearly support Obama, it’s a free country. But when you put these kinds of posts on your website, all it does it promote hatred. How many people have now commented on this post about how stupid and ignorant Americans can be? Why would you post something like this knowing that your readers would be so hateful towards other Americans?

Just proves, republicans are a bunch of racist idiots.

I would not vote for oboma I would be afraid all those things are true

First and formost in the words of the great Peter Griffin “…while I might not agree with what you said I’ll deffend till the death your right to say it” ….second Ignorance is a lack of knowledge those who are ignorant and don’t know any better speak of only what they know … stubborness is having the knowledge and refusing to accept it!!! the bottem line is this ,The Year is 2008 and we are not going back in time we are moving forward !!! and those that are ignorant will soon learn and those that are stubborn will soon see that no matter what happens CHANGE will never die !!! it will always be and you can decide to run with it or be left behind but no matter what !!!! it’s gonna happen…I think Mr. Farmer forgot This is The United States of America land of oppertunities!!!!

You know what don’t care what he looks like or what his religion is, i don’t like his politics that’s why I AM NOT for voting for him.

Ok clearly the people not voting because he’s black is wrong BUT aren’t the people that are voting for him because he IS black just as ignorant??? I mean think about it, there are white and black people voting for him just because they want a person of color in the white house. That alone is scary.

Wow Miso….You must live a very sheltered existance. You apparantly think that it’s only “20 extremists” that did something 7 years ago….how about a whole religion thats dedicated to our extermination and taking over the world….and yes , I will condemn all muslims to that belief….it’s not a matter of if…but when they’ll attack again….and they’ll attack like cowards again…behind women and children just like I’ve seen them do on the battlefields of Iraq….and osamam obama is just opening our doors to them….

Whoa, whoa, whoa. wait a minute. There are bigot, racist, and ignorant democrats too. This isn’t a good representation of republican citizens, and politically biased posts like this aren’t fair at all. Don’t categorize republicans that way, and don’t insult me by affiliating me with a handful of backward idiots who “just happened” to be interviewed on camera. If you wanted to find equally demented footage of democrat voters, you’d find it. The thing is, jared, if you do, you’d never put it up on this site. Is that the kind of person you are? How disappointing.

i LOVE. i serioulsy LOVE

that this is coming out right after mccain threw a hissy fit on national television that someone didn’t apologize to him for saying that his supporters are essentially racists and segregationists.

really? REALLY? ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
you don’t see barack throwing temper tantrums about the shi* your crazies are saying about him.

if obama loses, i’ve already decided that i will leave this country after i finish college. i refuse to let my life be dictated by a bunch of mislead and uneducated rednecks.

OBAMA 08, BABY.

October 12, 2008
New York Times
OP-ED COLUMNIST
The Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama

By FRANK RICH
IF you think way back to the start of this marathon campaign, back when it seemed preposterous that any black man could be a serious presidential contender, then you remember the biggest fear about Barack Obama: a crazy person might take a shot at him.

Some voters told reporters that they didn’t want Obama to run, let alone win, should his very presence unleash the demons who have stalked America from Lincoln to King. After consultation with Congress, Michael Chertoff, the homeland security secretary, gave Obama a Secret Service detail earlier than any presidential candidate in our history — in May 2007, some eight months before the first Democratic primaries.

“I’ve got the best protection in the world, so stop worrying,” Obama reassured his supporters. Eventually the country got conditioned to his appearing in large arenas without incident (though I confess that the first loud burst of fireworks at the end of his convention stadium speech gave me a start). In America, nothing does succeed like success. The fear receded.

Until now. At McCain-Palin rallies, the raucous and insistent cries of “Treason!” and “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!” as well as the uninhibited slinging of racial epithets, are actually something new in a campaign that has seen almost every conceivable twist. They are alarms. Doing nothing is not an option.

All’s fair in politics. John McCain and Sarah Palin have every right to bring up William Ayers, even if his connection to Obama is minor, even if Ayers’s Weather Underground history dates back to Obama’s childhood, even if establishment Republicans and Democrats alike have collaborated with the present-day Ayers in educational reform. But it’s not just the old Joe McCarthyesque guilt-by-association game, however spurious, that’s going on here. Don’t for an instant believe the many mindlessly “even-handed” journalists who keep saying that the McCain campaign’s use of Ayers is the moral or political equivalent of the Obama campaign’s hammering on Charles Keating.

What makes them different, and what has pumped up the Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies, is the violent escalation in rhetoric, especially (though not exclusively) by Palin. Obama “launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.” He is “palling around with terrorists” (note the plural noun). Obama is “not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.” Wielding a wildly out-of-context Obama quote, Palin slurs him as an enemy of American troops.

By the time McCain asks the crowd “Who is the real Barack Obama?” it’s no surprise that someone cries out “Terrorist!” The rhetorical conflation of Obama with terrorism is complete. It is stoked further by the repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name by surrogates introducing McCain and Palin at these rallies. This sleight of hand at once synchronizes with the poisonous Obama-is-a-Muslim e-mail blasts and shifts the brand of terrorism from Ayers’s Vietnam-era variety to the radical Islamic threats of today.

That’s a far cry from simply accusing Obama of being a guilty-by-association radical leftist. Obama is being branded as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder. “Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family” was how a McCain press release last week packaged the remembrance of a Weather Underground incident from 1970 — when Obama was 8.

We all know what punishment fits the crime of murder, or even potential murder, if the security of post-9/11 America is at stake. We all know how self-appointed “patriotic” martyrs always justify taking the law into their own hands.

Obama can hardly be held accountable for Ayers’s behavior 40 years ago, but at least McCain and Palin can try to take some responsibility for the behavior of their own supporters in 2008. What’s troubling here is not only the candidates’ loose inflammatory talk but also their refusal to step in promptly and strongly when someone responds to it with bloodthirsty threats in a crowded arena. Joe Biden had it exactly right when he expressed concern last week that “a leading American politician who might be vice president of the United States would not just stop midsentence and turn and condemn that.” To stay silent is to pour gas on the fires.

It wasn’t always thus with McCain. In February he loudly disassociated himself from a speaker who brayed “Barack Hussein Obama” when introducing him at a rally in Ohio. Now McCain either backpedals with tardy, pro forma expressions of respect for his opponent or lets second-tier campaign underlings release boilerplate disavowals after ugly incidents like the chilling Jim Crow-era flashback last week when a Florida sheriff ranted about “Barack Hussein Obama” at a Palin rally while in full uniform.

From the start, there have always been two separate but equal questions about race in this election. Is there still enough racism in America to prevent a black man from being elected president no matter what? And, will Republicans play the race card? The jury is out on the first question until Nov. 4. But we now have the unambiguous answer to the second: Yes.

McCain, who is no racist, turned to this desperate strategy only as Obama started to pull ahead. The tone was set at the Republican convention, with Rudy Giuliani’s mocking dismissal of Obama as an “only in America” affirmative-action baby. We also learned then that the McCain campaign had recruited as a Palin handler none other than Tucker Eskew, the South Carolina consultant who had worked for George W. Bush in the notorious 2000 G.O.P. primary battle where the McCains and their adopted Bangladeshi daughter were slimed by vicious racist rumors.

No less disconcerting was a still-unexplained passage of Palin’s convention speech: Her use of an unattributed quote praising small-town America (as opposed to, say, Chicago and its community organizers) from Westbrook Pegler, the mid-century Hearst columnist famous for his anti-Semitism, racism and violent rhetorical excess. After an assassin tried to kill F.D.R. at a Florida rally and murdered Chicago’s mayor instead in 1933, Pegler wrote that it was “regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara shot the wrong man.” In the ’60s, Pegler had a wish for Bobby Kennedy: “Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow falls.
”

This is the writer who found his way into a speech by a potential vice president at a national political convention. It’s astonishing there’s been no demand for a public accounting from the McCain campaign. Imagine if Obama had quoted a Black Panther or Louis Farrakhan — or William Ayers — in Denver.

The operatives who would have Palin quote Pegler have been at it ever since. A key indicator came two weeks after the convention, when the McCain campaign ran its first ad tying Obama to the mortgage giant Fannie Mae. Rather than make its case by using a legitimate link between Fannie and Obama (or other Democratic leaders), the McCain forces chose a former Fannie executive who had no real tie to Obama or his campaign but did have a black face that could dominate the ad’s visuals.

There are no black faces high in the McCain hierarchy to object to these tactics. There hasn’t been a single black Republican governor, senator or House member in six years. This is a campaign where Palin can repeatedly declare that Alaska is “a microcosm of America” without anyone even wondering how that might be so for a state whose tiny black and Hispanic populations are each roughly one-third the national average. There are indeed so few people of color at McCain events that a black senior writer from The Tallahassee Democrat was mistakenly ejected by the Secret Service from a campaign rally in Panama City in August, even though he was standing with other reporters and showed his credentials. His only apparent infraction was to look glaringly out of place.

Could the old racial politics still be determinative? I’ve long been skeptical of the incessant press prognostications (and liberal panic) that this election will be decided by racist white men in the Rust Belt. Now even the dimmest bloviators have figured out that Americans are riveted by the color green, not black — as in money, not energy. Voters are looking for a leader who might help rescue them, not a reckless gambler whose lurching responses to the economic meltdown (a campaign “suspension,” a mortgage-buyout stunt that changes daily) are as unhinged as his wanderings around the debate stage.

To see how fast the tide is moving, just look at North Carolina. On July 4 this year — the day that the godfather of modern G.O.P. racial politics, Jesse Helms, died — The Charlotte Observer reported that strategists of both parties agreed Obama’s chances to win the state fell “between slim and none.” Today, as Charlotte reels from the implosion of Wachovia, the McCain-Obama race is a dead heat in North Carolina and Helms’s Republican successor in the Senate, Elizabeth Dole, is looking like a goner.

But we’re not at Election Day yet, and if voters are to have their final say, both America and Obama have to get there safely. The McCain campaign has crossed the line between tough negative campaigning and inciting vigilantism, and each day the mob howls louder. The onus is on the man who says he puts his country first to call off the dogs, pit bulls and otherwise.

Hey Andy #48! YOU are a moron and not all Americans are stupid. Maybe once you learn English and how to compose a proper paragraph people might actually care what you have to say although I am sure it will still be a difficult task!!!!!! Also #45, you belong with the douche #48. YOU BOTH SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a disgusting video. “The black will take over”?? “This is a Christian nation”?? “Sarah Palin is filled with the Holy Spirit”?? (LOL on that one). How ridiculous……..just watching it and knowing that some people actually feel this way gave me goosebumps.

It is so, SO sad that there are folks out there who can’t see past skin color. I mean, just think about it…….it’s a SKIN COLOR. Why in the world should that have any significance?

uninformed trashy white people who hate blacks (anti-obamas) are just as dangerous and uninformed trashy black people who hate whites (anti-mccains).

how ignorant. its sad because most of the time, its those ignorant people that are more outspoken.

I am white and I am American. Not every white person is ignorant and a redneck. And not every American is stupid and racist. Those are generalizations that people usually make to justify their own point. I agree with those who say that the people commenting in these videos are horribly out of line and also out of touch with the world today. They do not represent me or any Americans I know, actually. Most of them are older and come from a generation that has prejudices against others. That doesn’t make it right for them to say what they did, though. There are great people who live in my country. People full of love, intelligence and compassion. There are also people here who are full of hate, stupidity and low morals. The same is true for any country in the world. There are good and bad people EVERYWHERE.

What people fail to see is that there are people like this on BOTH sides of the aisle… like most of the people on this frakkin’ website sufficiently representing the idiots on the LEFT. Thanks, Jared, for showing us how biased you are, once again.

amazing isnt it? shocking? disturbing? i think alot of people in this country forget how many ignorant , uneducated ,racist and fanatical conservatives there are in this country and guess what? they ALWAYS vote…you cant keep people like that out of the voting booths they are just as delusional and fanatical as the terrorists we are supposed to be fighting.
this is a prime example of how much this country has not evolved i could blame religion but its worse than that, its deep rooted stupidity…generation after generation of ignorant people breeding more racists .
if you are old enough to vote please do because we are up against a huge enemy ,sure we see all these liberal celebs on television but the fact is there are alot of conservatives who vote republican out of fear.they are afraid of everything especially change.

if they had their way jefferson davis would be on the hundred dollar bill and we would all be whistling dixie by the swimminghole while little johnny leaves his 16 yr old bride behinde to go fight in the millionth vietnam………………..

well, these people have their hearts in the right place. they still are smarter than ALL the people voting for obama.

i’m sure there are plenty of people who have misconceptions of mccain, too. in fact, 99.9% if democrats lie about mccain.

To quote Winston Churchill: ” The problem with democracy is just 5minutes alone with the average voter.” (Oh so true as evidenced by these ignorant comments.
There is a whole lot of stupid out there!

As an American, the only thing I find worse than the morons featured in this video are the morons defending them on this website.

Wow…watching that video makes me want to move out of the country. I feel ashamed to be an American right now.

How do you know these are misconceptions? You don’t know that. Every single one of them can be true. It is very biased & wrong to automatically say they’re misconceptions when you really have no idea.

As a white South African woman I just could not believe this remarks. I am honestly stunned that citizens of the leading country of the world can come up with these remarks about Obama. His father was from Kenia, a country I know well. So what? Terrorists? So what? That’s what we used to call Nelson Mandela when his freedom fighters went around blowing things up.

The past is the past. The future is at stake. Obama to me looks very, very good - I have enormous respect for McCain as well. But Obama is younger and healthier and definitely sound a good deal better to us (white and black) Africans in general. And he does not have Palin to drag him down. She is not qualified. No point about it. She is attractive and probably quite decent, but she is not suitable to be the leader of a super power.

In our country abortion is legal and you don’t need anybody’s permission to have one. The onus is on the religious leaders to sort that problem out. Gay marriages is legal, although the churches don’t like it - most of them accept gay members as long as they remain celibate. Most of us cannot understand how these things can still be brought up during political campaigns - it is part or our constitutional rights. And although we also experiene some economic problems, we have one of the best Ministers of Finance in the world - Trevor Manuel - and he is not white either. Apparently our money and our banks are still safe over here.

As for Palin - she will only be a true hunter in African eyes once she has gone after the big 5. But let her hunt, please, don’t let here rule the USA and by implication the world!

this just really hurts my heart. We’re still working on this???

I not afraid of my pep, arabs, muslims r any bod elz w / a diff bacgrd.

It makes u wonder ?

As your neighbour to the North, all I can say is Wow…

These comments are absolutely disgraceful and sickening. I truly feel sorry for those Americans who are disgusted by these comments for having to be lumped in with these ignorant people. It’s these people who give you a bad name and it’s these people who project a very negative image of America to the rest of the world. Sad.

Oh dear god. look at all the f*cking rednecks that still walk this earth!

when are all these old-as-dirt conservative republicans gonna die?

their racial mentality is so disgusting. it’s not 1960s Mobile, Alabama anymore folks! Its the 21st century now, deal with it.

and you have to be completely and totally f*ckin retarded to want another four years of the last eight.

these people make me ashamed of being an american.

first of all i am a John McCain supporter and second of all i dont think barack obama is a racist however i think blacks only vote for him because hes black and its the truth! thats not right! its about THE ISSUES and THE POLICIES! not because obama is younger and cooler cause hes not also he’s got a big mole on his nose and big donkey ears. go vote for obama if you want “fundamental change” what is this change? no one knows wanna know why cause HE’S A MUSLIM! also if you want HIGHER taxes, MORE babies to be killed, and GAY MARRIAGE to be allowed, be my guest and vote for Barack Hussain Obama.

Katie you’re an idiot.

OBAMA/BIDEN - Taking the high road in 2008

MCStain/Palin - slithering down the low road in 2008

I’d rather back a black muslim for office than a decrepid old white racist ANY DAY! McCain looks like Edgar from Men in Black - he’s got a cockroach living inside him and he’s feeding off the white trash in this country!

Did anyone listen to the reporter signing off? He works for Aljazeera. Some may argue that Aljazeera is a some-what anti-America publication so of course they will take the dumbest, ugliest, most idiotic and judgemental Americans they interviewed. While I admit that the people in the video are appallin, I take comfort knowing that there are Americans out there who actually follow politics and make decisions based on issues besides skin color.

Maybe if the Osama would speak up and explain his shady friendships…without the REHEARSED answers, people wouldn’t say this kind of stuff….but wait, he’s a lying piece of **** and you can’t believe a word that comes out of his disgusting mouth. The ignorance is on the part of all you libs with your heads up your asses. You touchy feely, tree hugging, baby killing, in desperate need of a little stroking libs saw the word “change” and ran with it. You refuse to look at the facts and even question for a minute-this losers connections. What has he done? Nothing. Who the hell is he? umm…nobody really knows-just some well rehearsed robot. Nice candidate!

For those who called these flolks are stupid, look at yourself first to vote for Obama. Their comments are genuiely concerned. How about the black girl sang “black anthem” to prove black power?. Come on. If a white person votes agaisnt Obama, he get accused racist, but a black person votes for Obama, he is not .
I am an immigrant but I do not say I love this country first time when I try to get votes ( it showed what color’s skin Michelle is). It’s instant love in my heart when this land provided me tremendous opportunity to make better life.
Have you ever encountered someone who is very smooth talk but does not get the work done? Obama is the one.
Obama said nothing about ARCON registration fraud as if it is OK if the votes go to him. America is not a developing country that cheat on the election, why the black people be honest just register and vote?
I do not look at people through their skin color as many my friends are black. Just one’s integrity makes the different.

I find it hard to believe Stephanie that you had any clue what the Weather Underground or who Ayers was before Fox News told you. Let’s look at the fact that McCain will most likely die in office. That would leave an even less experienced gun and Bible toting Redneck in charge. Her foreign policy experience is being in close proximity to Russia. Did you know Maine is actually closer to Moscow than Anchorage? I would rather have a “liar” who is at least capable of performing the basic tasks of President than “pitbull” who can’t even say she’s left the country.

If they don’t want anybody, including myself, to view them as “white trash” then get an an iota of intelligence in your dumbass brains. Jesus Christ! This is ignorance incarnate, people. It’s ugly, shameful, embarrassing and has NO PLACE in American culture today. This is proof that all over there are people who don’t want to change or grow and will always see a divide. How sick they are. I’m calling for immediate sterilization STAT.

I’d advise you to use your language more carefully. “I” did not vote for Bush once. “I” and millions of others fought very hard to get the better candidate in the office. I absolutely hate it when people generalize the people in this country. We all have varying if not stark differences in our hopes and desires for America. But indeed it’s dumb f*cks like this who crawl out from their ignorant caves every fours years to join in the idiotic attack machine and hijack the votes from more intelligent and better informed citizens. I more than resent it.

and he’s christian….fyi

s @ 10/16/2008 at 7:01 pm and he’s christian….fyi

Correction: he’s “Christian.” A fake fronter with no substance or real knowledge of what that word means. Sacriligious if you ask me. Poor Jesus. Like Woody Allen said if Jesus knew what was being done in his name he’d never stop throwing up!

Fucktards. You vote for him for what he will do to lower the multiple problems encountered in your country everyday not for his skin! That is far from being a problem & how can your country get worst when George Bush is currently the president?!

We shouldn’t allow some people to vote because they’re some that are plain stupid.

My God!!!!!
the american people is scary and mostly dumb, you guys are allways funny for us the english people
cheers from here..

Bravo Chris!!!!

You know, with all these people whining about abortion, I can’t help but wonder if any of them care about the childern born into this world that are beaten, raped, and starved? McCain proudly boasted about being an adoptive parent. Well is he and his wife going to adopt all those babies who would otherwise be aborted, or just let them set in foster care until 18?

This video reaffirms what I have said about people all along, they love to hate. I have heard all the negative things about Obama, but I chose to listen to both candidates during the debates and decide on my own who I felt had our best interest at heart.

That lady saying that this is a christian nation…that did not sound very christian to me. Maybe I’ve got it wrong but didn’t Jesus say, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”? And I can not believe that people are still blaming the entire Muslim nation for 9/11. The people that did that are radicals. In my heart I can not believe that all Muslims think like that.

This video is probably fake and what is with the Al Jazeera symbol?

Bty… for all those people who make a big deal about obama’s colour and accusation of terorist connection…… do yourselve a favour don;t ever leave America, you would never have to experience the hatred people around the globe has American esp those die hard narrow minder right wing ……

i was spat on once for mistaken being an american, i had to produce my passport to show that i am not…. and i am glad i am not

Ohmygod! Americans are SO,SO,SO stupid. I agree with Erika, I’m soooo glad i live in Sweden. I even don’t know one person here in Sweden who supports John McCain and Sarah Palin. These “horrible-Ohio-people” should been banned from voting in this election. They don’t understand how much the U.S and the whole world needs Obama!!! Obama,Obama,Obama!!! <3

I have already voted for Obama. I say if you are a racist vote for the white half . He is half white and half black. I voted for the man. I’m White.
For the religious, I’m a christian. So why do Republicans judge what people do with their on body. They are the ones that have to stand before GOD on judgement day. If a Gay person is in love , so be it. that does not effect me and my spouse one bit. Again, they are the ones to stand before GOD . Who am I to judge. GOD LOVES EVERYONE, people forget that he created ALL !!!!!!

I cannot believe these people. It’s like stepping back in time! I am also very tired of hearing Replicans claim to have all the morals in the world and Democrats are evil. I know WAY too many church-going racist republicans to believe that the Democrats have the monopoly on evil in this world! Our nation is not known as the “melting pot” for no reason. We are suppossed to be a nation of caring, loving people; not fearful of anyone different to the point of hating them!

is sad how some people can be so stupid *_*

GO OBAMA!!! :D

wow is this for real?
sad.
i can not believe that there are still people out there who seriously think this and vote for Palin/McCain. I don’t know how much more stupid you can get if you think PALIN is what america needs right now. but then again, this is the nation that voted for bush not just once, but TWO times.
what a joke.

o____________o
i can’t believe someone still thinks like that nowadays.
ppl always say that some americans are horrible racists, but i never thought it would get to this point…
how can ppl be so freakingly stupid? that’s gotta be some kind of mental illness. i feel absolutely disgusted. thank god i live in brazil!
