CORAL GABLES, Florida (AFP) - Around 20 African-Americans heckled Barack Obama at a rally here Friday, screaming chants and holding up placards accusing the White House hopeful of selling out the black community.



As the Democrat, who would be the first African-American US president, spoke, the protestors jumped up from their seats in a corner high up in the University of Miami's basketball arena. One of their signs said: "Barack Obama endorsed by KKK (Ku Klux Klan)."

Police and Secret Service agents intervened, as thousands of Obama supporters responded with boos and jeers. The protestors did not appear to resist as they were hustled out of the stadium.

"OK, let's get back to work," Obama said after the five-minute interruption, resuming a speech dominated by attacks on Republican rival John McCain's record on women's issues and the economy at a time of financial crisis.

1. Best thing that could happen...

...couldn't have been better if they were sent by the campaign.

The median voter's chances of voting Obama go up, sad to say, with the likelihood that he'll 'sell out the black community'.

The median voter's chances of voting Obama go up when he is portrayed as the opposite of a identity candidate.

2. "Barack Obama endorsed by KKK (Ku Klux Klan)"

I'm just thinking of any members of that organization who might have been watching and thinking about how their heads must have exploded.

15. It actually holds some truth

I remember back in February that the TN KKK group "endorsed" Obama. I put it in quotes because it was more of a hatred toward Hillary than an endorsement of Obama. It had the feel of picking the worst evil to them.

4. Only about 20 of 'em, huh?

I guess Rove is a little bit strapped for cash these days.

7. Black (un)like Me.......

Proof positive that for enough money, some people will gladly step into the noose if you hand it to them.....

I don't claim these people.....nor Cowboy Troy, or Clarence Thomas, or Armstrong Williams, or Larry Elder. (They're really Men in Black-style aliens, anyway. :) )

8. Well, it's every black Republican in Florida anyway.

There might be a few more in other states. But I bet most of them weren't even Republicans...they were just paid extras like on a movie set, hired for the occasion.

error: I meant to post this as a reply to a different post. Hope it makes sense anyway.

9. Wouldn't surprise me if they were paid by repuke operatives...n/t

11. That's why they went quietly

No sense getting arrested, having your name recorded in the public domain, and then getting outed as an agitprop tool.
