Ok, Saturday Sept. 20, 2008... Today we are being invaded by the notion that Obama is black.
Gasp, oh my gosh, I just didn't realize that... who cares about a push-poll. We all know he's black and that he's fathered black children (oh my god--freak out). This must be the meme to distract from McInsane and the Repugs destroying everything they have gotten their hands on in the last 30yrs and really in the last 8yrs, its really gotten bad. Most of the electorate doesn't care if Obama is fucking green with yellow polk-a-dots, he's NOT a republican and he's not george/john mcsame. Some out there may just have to stay home because they are assholes and believe somehow Obama is coming to get them because they are racist pigs.. but they'll stay home, rather than help the demise of themselves and to try to prevent their lifestyle from detereorating even faster under Insane.

4. A push-poll about how white's view blacks is running rampant all over the board
today.. like that somehow is important over the total finacial collapse of America and the apparent theft of the entire treasury as Bush Co. walks out the door.

7. I noticed too.. it all started Friday afternoon..
On a number of blogs and forums... racial attacks on Obama, and they all had pretty much the same wording and same meme. For example.. the one I noticed the most was titled: "Does anyuone think Obama has a big ego?" (with the code word "Uppity") Karl Rove has turned his gremlins loose on a mission.

8. This is pretty good news really.
It shows just how desperate they've become. They know for a fact that they can't win on the issues. But then they pretty much new that from the beginning. All the made up smears have blown up in their faces. All they've got left is "BUT HE'S BLACK!!!"

It's both sad and funny at the same time. They're in a tailspin and they don't know how to get out of it.

9. Race is also the lead story on Yahoo....
"Role of race in the election"
"A new poll says voters' deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House."
"Obama's race could play a surprising role in election"

http://news.yahoo.com/page/election-2008-political-pulse-obama-race



I was surprised to wake up to it this morning because I felt like we'd been there, done that.
But it looks like the next attempt at a scare tactic...so, so sad.
"when will we ever learn, when will we ever learn"

12. So, would you expect anything less from them... Who wants to talk about
the real issues, when the black thing is just so divisive.

10. I seen these rumors on the internets that says he's black but I'm just not sure.
I found these pictures. People says it's his mom, grandma & granpa.



I guess they must be some of them light-skinned blacks.
