- scotty777, on 03/23/2008, -5/+19You won't see these facts promoted in the main stream press. The NBRA raises insightful questions about Obama WITHOUT the racial overtones. Black republicans have no trouble sharing their concerns about what an Obama presidency will mean to this country... I suppose left wing white and black liberals alike will simply dismiss them as "uncle toms".
- shortysmyname, on 03/23/2008, -7/+4You won't see this because it's garbage. First he's Muslim, then he's against the blacks because his ancestors were slave owners? WTF?
- theaceoffire, on 03/23/2008, -6/+2This article seems to state: All problems are due to democrats, Obama should go to hell for being a democrat and not saying democrats are responsible for it... etc etc.
Obama will do more for helping ALL Americans co-exist and grow than any other candidate that I have seen. He seems to understand the value of technology, of allowing the internet to thrive and grow, and the need for nations to communicate rather than order each other around.
Obama has been polite, more than patient, and honest for the entire campaign.
I have not seen that from anyone else. - 0xception, on 03/24/2008, -2/+2LOL
I love satirical pieces of work like this... always good for a laugh. it's healthy to keep things light every once in a while...
what? it wasn't satire? OH damn... that's even funnier!
- ugotz2, on 03/23/2008, -5/+19Black republican voices need to be heard on MSM. You'll never hear any of these facts on CNN or MSNBC !!
- SheilaNoya, on 03/23/2008, -4/+5You obviously don't watch the news much. The Republicans are constantly putting Black "spokespeople" on ALL of the MSM, trying to change their image and show that some Blacks actually do support the Republican party. That cross-eyed Black Republican "strategist" (can't remember his name) is constantly on MSNBC and CNN, as are many others. However, the Republican party has a severe credibility problem, no matter who they put on to speak for them.
- ugotz2, on 03/23/2008, -2/+2So you are going to make an argument that CNN and MSNBC are not as biased as Fox News ??
- theaceoffire, on 03/23/2008, -2/+2NO one is as biased as Fox News.

- gbudavid, on 03/23/2008, -3/+14Well I Dugg,Shouted and Stumbled it plus news vined it.
- fedupamerica, on 03/23/2008, -4/+20It's ashame that this won't get to be popular. Truth is often hidden. Liberals dont want to hear it.
- ugotz2, on 03/23/2008, -3/+11Sad but apparently true. For a group that claims to be progressive and independent thinkers, they sure act like a bunch of lemmings, easily infatuated with the charismatic silver tongued rhetoric that panders to their overly idealistic sensitivities.
- theaceoffire, on 03/23/2008, -3/+3The irony in these comments is KILLING ME.
- victorypup, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Liberals are dedicated to the destruction of truth, it doesn't matter which party the liberals are embeded in, their goal is the same.

- Indyanna, on 03/23/2008, -6/+19As a member of the Illinois Senate, Obama...
1) opposed four times the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that would have prohibited a baby that was born alive from being left to die.
2) was the only member of the Illinois Senate who voted against a bill that prohibited the early release of sexual predators
3) refused to vote for a bill that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers
4) voted against a bill that made it a criminal offense for convicts to have contact with a street gang while out of jail on bail or on probation
5) voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders
6) voted to make a criminal out of a homeowner who was forced to use a gun to defend himself in his own home
Barack Obama: Just say "no".- shortysmyname, on 03/23/2008, -6/+5All these bills had other issues with them, this stuff is a twisted version of the truth.
- scotty777, on 03/23/2008, -4/+4I guess the truth hurts and if you do your research you will find out it's fact not fiction. He will be toast in a national election. Keep up your wide eyed idealism were lovin it. rotfl

- neocognitism, on 03/23/2008, -15/+2Clarence Thomas, a vastly inferior mind compared to Thurgood Marshall, would be proud.
- Iconoclast25, on 03/23/2008, -1/+12. . . and Charlie the Tuna, a vastly superior mind compared to thee, would be proud of you, neo . . . well, he would if he were not a cartoon commercial, of course.
- neocognitism, on 03/23/2008, -13/+1Following me around, I see. I love you too.

- Iconoclast25, on 03/23/2008, -3/+13Duplicate submission, but still worth a digg.
- pbd1637, on 03/23/2008, -4/+16"Obama rails against the failure to educate black children. However, he gives a pass to teachers’ union special interest groups that are responsible for black children not being educated. Those groups are aligned with the Democratic Party and are against school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black parents get their children out of failing schools."
Obama, typical liberal elitist.- theaceoffire, on 03/23/2008, -2/+1[Citation needed]
- kp998, on 03/23/2008, -10/+3Obama may not be perfect but he sure beats the hell out of John McSame, Wake UP!
- ugotz2, on 03/23/2008, -0/+5So exactly how is McCain the same ?? When he had the courage to challenge Rumsfeld ?
- flip2trip, on 03/23/2008, -1/+8I must be out of the loop, it's LEGAL to allow a baby born alive to let it die? Is this true?
- madfrogurt, on 03/23/2008, -1/+7Extremely premature babies born within the second trimester can be kept alive without any chance for recovery or growth. When the cortex of the brain isn't developed and you're keeping a kid alive for months without any hope, eating up resources and sapping the morale of nurses, I can see why we would want to have a legal way for parents to opt for ceasing care and allowing the baby to die.
- SheilaNoya, on 03/23/2008, -6/+8Gee - Republicans want to smear Obama? I'm shocked!!!
- madfrogurt, on 03/23/2008, -4/+4"Has the Hillary Clinton bashing gone so far as to blind the Obama cult-like followers to the reality that he is in fact NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER POLITICIAN who will say anything to his voters to keep their votes, and attempt to spin past facts away?"
I'm amazed that even the official republican stance now is "at least we're no worse than the other guy." I have no idea how anyone could have pride being part of that group. I assume they only feel less disgust in themselves for not voting for the party that has been vilified to them since they were born. - madfrogurt, on 03/23/2008, -4/+5It's always good to have an indicator of just how vindictive and petty a source can be, and this article scores high on both: it repeats the lies and fear mongering that Obama is a secret Muslim, and it continues to criticize Obama for not wearing a metal American flag pin.
I agree that you should criticize his record and explain why you disagree with his candidacy. That's not racist. But to bring up his heritage just to fear bait people into thinking he's a Muslim sleeper agent is insulting to the democratic process. - Ell3, on 03/23/2008, -5/+7Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) is all you American need to know about Obama. He'll sell your sovereignty down the river for some money to give to Africa.
- Harboggles, on 03/23/2008, -2/+1Ok, so what do they suggest we do? Vote for Hillary? McCain.
Sorry, it's WAY too late to drop this article into the bucket.- ugotz2, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2Dems vote for Hillary and Nader LOL
- scotty777, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2"Sorry, it's WAY too late to drop this article into the bucket." Dude... you must be kidding!! Too late?? These two will be eating each other alive for the next several MONTHS!!
- Ih8troofers, on 03/24/2008, -3/+3Don't be bamboozled by B. Hussein Obama. Also take notice of all of the NOI (nation of islam a group that believes god is in a spaceship that has visited farakkan) people who make up his senatorial staff.
I hate racists and that is only one of the reasons I am not voting for B. Hussein Obama. There is something seriously wrong with anyone who would take that Wright scumbag as their "spiritual advisor" - roosevans, on 03/24/2008, -2/+4I found this link very informative. I am a black supporter fo Hilary Clinton because I just don't trust Obama. Hilary with all her faults, I feel I know. Obama is still a question mark to me.
- ugotz2, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1Everyone is so wrapped up in the "historical event" aspects of Obama as the first black President, they simply don't want the onion peeled back for fear that something might turn up to spoil the opportunity. Have we become a society more enamored with hype and image than substance? The answer is self evident.
- chicofaraby, on 03/24/2008, -4/+1It's a good thing I have Digg to let me know that Republicans don't like Senator Obama because otherwise, I would have never known that .0001 percent of American blacks think that Republicans have a better platform for them than Obama.
- ugotz2, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Interesting that this thread has drawn so much controversy. Who would have thought Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican. I bet most blacks are totally unaware of that fact.
- ugotz2, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2The Republican Party needs to re-invent itself to coin a phrase from Corporate America. Their "branding" unfortunately is lousy.They need to focus more on the value of wisdom and experience... to contrast the Obama campaign of "Change and Youth" with can also be challenged with "putting and end to Mindless Change" and Obama's clear lack of experience. The dangers of change for change sake alone can be a powerful message in the hands of the right political marketeers.
In this world of slick marketing, you must fight fire with fire...
