CNN Now Has Black Pundits on TV Trashing Obama While They Run Wright Footage
Larry Elder, promoting his book, "Stupid Black Men" on TV today to talk about why Obama and Wright are stupid black men. CNN loves it and runs Wright footage as he speaks.

It does look to me that the networks are taking a more balanced approach to this issue. Now, instead of white men bashing black men, they're finding blacks to do it. I guess it doesn't look racial that way, right?

I predict the racial divide in this country is going to explode. The scab has been ripped off, and not in a good way. Rather than healing, as Obama spoke so eloquently of, the wound is open and being torn apart by the MSM, RW and people in our own democratic party.

Good job, America. Nice going, Democrats.

2. CNN is implementing the "Southern Strategy"
They want to milk the "angry black man" theme for as long as they can.

4. To be fair, MSNBC is worse, if possible. They still have Buchanan and Scarborough doing
it, while talking about bombing black churches and other black hate crimes. All associated, of course, with Obama and Wright.

19. Yep.
And this morning... Tucker on Morning Joe... repeating the same thing for 3 hours. "How could you STAY with someone that said that. How could he? Shame on him. He Hates America." :banghead:

3. I'm going to start posting action threads tomorrow here.
I HATE watching the corporate media but am in for some push back.

Let's think how we can do that for our candidate.

7. I know we've called, and I know we're not the only ones.. we're writing daily and
mailing the DNC. Somebody with POWER is going to have to speak out or its going to take a concerted, organized effort by some group.. like MOVE ON.ORG to nip this thing in the bud and expose it for what it is. I'm even wondering if its to the point we need to run 527s to combat it.

13. You'd be surprised at how many networks we can access here from DU.
It's worth a shot.

Including Hillary.

30. yeah, and that payola-grubber isn't "in bed" with some mighty fine big corporatists?
I have no doubt of Obama's loyalty to ALL of America--but must question that of the "Senator from Punjab." She's been over there scoping out the scene for the benefit of her offshoring contributors, looking for cheap laborers, lining up IT people to take over our jobs, looking into factories that can make the goods we used to make. She made THAT bed ...

not to mention the genocide she's promoted in the Middle East.

But be happy in your delusional world of race hatred.

It's disturbing, but it shouldn't lead you to despair. Obama gets an hour on Larry King tonight; nobody will see a stupid black man there.

32. My TV is off for now
Will only watch Olbermann at this point. What they're doing is borderline criminal. Aren't there laws against instigating riots? It could so easily come to that if they're not careful.

10. This is no one's fault but Obama.
The "uniter" should not be so close with such divisive people. Besides, you still can watch MSNBC (Most Surely Nothing But Crap). They still love Obama. Tweety was in a trance discussing Obama last night. Tweety also told Florida and Michigan to go to hell. Tweety still loves Obama. Maybe you will feel better when he comes on the tv this evening.

And he didn't.

16. ROFL.. evidently, but honestly, Keyes would have been better. I'd never seen
this guy before and hope I never do again. At least with Keyes, you know what you're getting.

27. Did they get Kenneth Blackwell?
When he was on Hardball the other night, I almost lost my lunch! He didn't even want to talk about Wright... he wanted to talk about Obama's support for partial birth abortion!!!!

That guy is a ginormous tool. It was fun when me and my fellow Ohioans defeated that election-stealing asshole in a landslide in 2006. :-)

20. Now does ANYONE wonder why Obama didn't want his race to
be the main issue? I suspect he knew this would be the kind of fallout he'd face. So many critics...

25. Let's back up there a little bit, tiger. Barack and his campaign very handily fostered a racist
undercurrent from the get go. If necessary, I'll print that ridiculous memo from his camp highlighting all the Clinton actions he considered racist. Oh, and his speech on Tuesday? The one that his camp prefaced as historic was a knee jerk to save his sorry campaign after the good Reverend surfaced. That was a cya for Rev. Wright. He dressed it up so it looked like his Lincolnesque moment but the intention was to take our attention off of Rev. Wright and guilt white people into thinking how bad we are. The ol' switcheroo. Sorry, it didn't work.

The scab you refer to is the one left by Barack when he bloodied the Clinton campaign over ordering white instead of brown ice cream.

Good job. Nice going, Barack.

which campaigns will live and which will die.
