That's one of the main things I hate about this area (St. Pete); the goddamn Uhuruists.

Sure, they sing the song of just "looking out for the black community", but in reality they are black supremacists.

There are many areas of the city where you will be beaten and robbed or raped if female (if not outright murdered) simply for being white.

I would assume they are supporters of Cynthia McKinney, she speaks more to their anti-Jewish, anti-Government (read: anti-whitey) message.

I say... Glass Parking Lot!

C'mon people. Is this what we really want in our leaders? People who listen to opinions other than their own??

Grow up.

Why would a leader listen to anyone other than Jesus ?

I like how the guy in front of the kid rips the banner out of his hands. You can almost hear him schooling that kid.

You forgot anti-gay. They hate all civil rights movements that aren't for their own race.

Apparently not. Bush did this a couple of years back in Virginia when a liberal protester snuck into one of his Q&A sessions and started making a scene. As he was being escorted out, Bush stopped security, and demanded that he be allowed to address the man's questions.

Nasty PlungerYou're a peach. Keep protecting the white wimmins from the evil blacks, hoss.

Yes, I totally must be a racist for thinking a racist organization is racist.

Nice doublethink, douche.

Of course, you support their "blame the Jews" agenda, so why am I surprised.

Wow. The way he handled that was awesome. I wonder what script he had prepared for that. Did they have time to put it on the teleprompter?

I mean, isn't that what the republicans want us to believe; that unless it's prewritten for him, he can't handle himself in a conversation?

Yeah, I seem to recall at least one Fark IndependentTM saying that he's horrible at speaking without a prepared speech. I'm impressed, I'm not sure I would have known about all those events, and he handled the problem of the apparent booing/shouting quite well.

Apart from gelding Nestea Plunge, that would be a kick ass way of holding a debate.

I don't know, but I'd give Nestea Plunge's other nut to see it. Honestly, can you imagine some Klansman arguing with Obama? It would be like that time Jon Stewart called Tucker Carlson a dick on his own show.

My experience with those people makes me doubt that they would have gone into the townhall meeting for two reasons.

1) Their inability to shut the fark up would have caused them to get kicked out within 5 minutes
2) The general lack of education and wit present among white supremacists makes them shy away from direct confrontations with charismatic political leaders.

Pathetic.

Well, unless of course that confrontation is in the form of a Molotov cocktail into said leader's office or home...or the more subtle burning cross left on aforementioned office or home...

right... those are forms of indirect confrontation. In direct confrontation racial supremacists crash like a house of cards, because the assertions that they use to justify their hate fall apart when directly challenged by facts.

Looks like I found another place where I disagree with Obama - the Jena 6.

I still like the way he handled this situation.

McCain should be asking himself if he's really sure he wants to do town hall meeting with Obama - that is, if McCain can't cherry-pick the audience.

Have you even heard Cynthia McKinney's platform? She isn't anti-white, or anti-Jewish. If those words meant anything at all.

You obviously have no conception of even basic logic, so I question the rest of your statement of which I have no conception of myself.

Cynthia McKinney has been a part of a gay listserv for gay rights, and has supported church leaders that embrace a gay congregation.

Believing that the Israeli occupation of Palestine is wrong is not a "blame the Jews" agenda.

It is international consensus, and the facts of the matter are the Israeli government commits war crimes, and breaks international law.

It has nothing to do with "the Jews", and everything to do with a particular government breaking international law.

They can be any religious or non-religious entity.

 
NYZooMan 2008-08-01 02:14:50 PM

98% of blacks are in the tank for Obama so it's unlikely you'll ever actually see one who goes against him.
