Obama Deals the Slave Card
By Fleaflicker on April 6, 2008 at 2:15 PM in Barack Obama, Farakkhan, New Black Panther Party, Rev. James Meeks, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Roland Martin, Slavery
A while ago, the racist, Farrakhan-linked New Black Panther Party posted a page on the official Obama Web site. That page was pulled after complaints were lodged, with the Obama campaign implying that it would more closely monitor its site. Now, not only has the NBBP reposted its page, but the Obama Web site has become the friendly home for vicious race baiting of African Americans who support Hillary Clinton. The Obama campaign has repeatedly played the race card, at the same time that is has tried to blame the Clinton campaign — see Princeton historian Sean Wilentz’s devastingly factual articles on the subject (”Hold On–’3 A.M.’ Wasn’t Racist,” “Race Man,” and “Obama was the first to play the race card“). The Obama campaign continues its smear by allowing and apparently encouraging posting like this nasty page.
And, my friends, this is truly disgusting:
Hillary vs Obama: The Slavery Perspective
Field Slave/Obama Supporter:
“I seen a way to freedom and power. C’mon go with me. I figured out a way to the promise land - that place Martin and Malcolm spoke of. There’s hope and possibilities out there for us. There some white folks I know say they gon help us get there. The time is now – right now. Come On…”
House Slave/Clinton Supporter:
“Massa Clinton been good to us. Git on ‘way from here Obama. You gon cause problem fo us all!! Didn’t Massa 
Clinton give you food and shelter all these years. Where you gon take us? You never been nowhere but right here on dis plantation wit us. This here fine living. We don’t know where you trying to go. They gon kill you. Then how us gon survive? Aint no white folks gon hep you. Get on way from here Obama. Gon now…git”
Looking at from this historical perspective . . . who was right????
Barack Obama talks a good game. And he is an exquisite liar, nearly pathological with his ease of doing so. His campaign likes to point out that this is an open public forum and they have no control over what is posted there. But those of us that know a little something about websites know that that is a bold faced lie that may play well in Peoria but doesn’t square well with the facts. It is relatively easy to stop someone from posting in an open forum.
There are filters and IP address blocks and all kinds of other methods that allow you to screen out particular words or links. The Obama campaign DESIRES this information to be on their website. It is a part of their BIG TENT approach. Republicans, Terrorists, Racists, Mysogynists, Homophobes and Bigots For Obama is their battle cry. And the Obama campaign only takes this stuff down when someone points out that they are offended by it.
As I mentioned in “Will Obama Deny Knowing the New Black Panthers,” this pattern of Obama support is troubling. Because this group is merely the next logical step forward from the rantings of Barack Obama’s spiritual advisor, Jeremiah Wright. It is no accident that this group continues to be featured on the official Obama campaign Web site. It is a message being sent for those with eyes open enough to see.
This should be a wake-up call for anyone with a shred of decency. But apparently that wouldn’t be a supporter of Barack Obama.
I just linked to HIS website, “community” page??? I am speechless. How will MSM portray this, what will be the new meme?
Apparently the MSM will not portray this until (if he gets the nod) he goes up against McCain. THEN and only then will the MSM tackle this. Right now most of them are careful not to soil him too much, to be sure that Hillary is the one too damaged to get the nomination. Then… oh, it’s cakewalk time for McCain.
Can the Obamacrats really believe that he can withstand even an OUNCE of the scrutiny Hillary has endured? The MSM and the GOP made Kerry, a war hero and respected Senator, look like a sniveling coward elitist. What do they think all of this will be in the GE?
Fleaflicker,
The link for this in your post is gone this morning:
Hillary vs Obama: The Slavery Perspective
Did you save a screen shot and could you please post it?
Thanks for all you do.
Of course, they took it off their site now that they were called to the carpet. The saddest part of this is that kids go on his site daily and are exposed to this race baiting.
Obama is a sorry excuse for a human being. You don’t see those sort of things on the other candidates’ sites.
Sandy, just out of curiosity what are you talking about? Shy of registering and then knowing which “member” to search for… how would the average kid be subjected to “this race baiting” as you put it?
Don’t get me wrong - I find most of the rhetoric of the NBBP offensive and crazy - and would call it ridiculously funny were it not dangerous and offensive and crazy as noted.
But shy of banning individuals or organizations that sign up as members in the network… I’m not sure what you’d want. As Larry and Susan have noted, they may not agree with some of the views expressed by some of the posters - but they’re not going to outright ban them for that - I know wrong analogy.
Fleaflicker4..
Thanks..!!….It needs to be Said..I just wish there was Broader Public Awareness of thse issues..of Comments like yours and others Here..
I hope that we will make PROGRESS in the Right Way out of this..To Honor all Progressives, Civil Rights Activists, Those who Honor the Constitution, and those who HONOR Dr. Martin Luther King..who was the BEST Black leader and ROLE MODEL..He really touched me as a Young White Teen at the time..
Barack Obama does Not…all my Insticts tell me he is a PHONY..
Totally agree Patrick
Fleaflicker,
I went to Mydd first thing this morning to recommend this diary and it was not there - What happened?
What happened was that this unbelievable piece of racist trash was yanked and the culprit banned, this time one hopes for good and all.
somebody get this to foxnews, i know, i hate fox too, but this is all telling about obamas nasty campaign. i was stunned at that on his web-site. you know the msm wont pick up on it. he gets more outrageous everyday. go to taylormarsh.com and sign the petition to get him out of the race. its easy and could be effective if enough people do it… go now !
Fox, NBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, WaPo know all about these things. I’d imagine that Rove has been carefully building up the database 9he surfaced recently with a list of contradictions that Obama hads made). They will have all the screen shots and text stored in the vaults for use in October.
But it’ll be used against no sooner than is deemed necessary.
Clinton wasn’t expecting Obama to beat her so she went easy until supertuesday. She didn’t want to damage a prospective VP pick.
Now it’s being kept from public broadcast until it is impossible to go with Clinton or respond in a partywide coordinated manner.
You know they have a mountain of this stuff form what has been posted here and from what you may have seen on Dkos or Huffpo comments…
“go to taylormarsh.com and sign the petition to get him out of the race.”
If the Hill-bots can’t beat him at the ballot box, I doubt a stern letter from them will make him leave, either!
Here is a hint: maybe if you folks spent half as much time raising money, canvassing door to door and doing something OTHER than posting on blogs and presenting yourselves as unhinged crybabies, maybe your candidate would be in the lead. But it seems you are more than content to sit around and whine about the unfairness of getting your heinies kicked by a better organized, smarter campaign. By taking this approach, you are not only NOT cutting into Obama’s lead, but you are also showing yourselves unworthy to take on McCain in the fall.
Obama is too shameful to represent Democratic Party. But I don’t want to see him be forced to quit the race. Obama’s actions will force Obama out of the race one way or another.
Scoreboard!
“Obama is too shameful to represent Democratic Party”? The majority of the party, obviosuly, disagrees with you. Which is why he has more votes, more delegates, more states won, and more donors.
The nomination is not over. Don’t act like a winner yet. It’s shameful.
And the scoreboard has changed if you haven’t notice it.
Rasmussen did the poll of Colorado in Feb after Super Tuesday, Obama had 7 point lead against McCain. He said he can change red state into blue.
In March, the same poll show Obama tied with McCain. Obama has lost the people in Colorado. He tied with McCain in MA, THE blue state. If he can’t beat McCain in Mass, he can’t beat McCain anywhere.
Obama won’t stand a chance in GE.
Let us never forget that the ultimate goal for all of us of like minds is a President that is an improvement from W. Bush. Instead of issuing sophmoric replies such as “scoreboard”, could you please enlighten us Hillary supporters as to why Obama is a superior candidate and would make a better President. I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me specific examples of what Obama has accomplished in his brief Public life. In addition, tell me how Obama is going to defend himself against the waiting Republican attack machines for his lack of experience in foreign affairs and his ties to Rev. Wright.
You might want to buy some products from this site. You seems to be in great need of it. http://www.getoverobama.com/
Funny, thanks.
more democrats have voted for Hillary. Please go away if you can’t be smarter than that. If we wanted to be bored to death by stupid comments we would be reading at dkos.
And just last night, CNN was accusing Hillary of playing the race card. When has Hillary played the race card? Race didn’t even become an issue until we saw that shameful speech by Jeremiah Wright, and Obama had to come out and placate the voters.
Lucinda,
Isn’t it infuriating to watch and read a lie repeated even after having been already corrected by that very station?
I only slightly disagree with you. The race card was first used by Obama through his surrogate/confidant/spiritual leader/Kooky Racist Uncle/Preacher/Friend Wright back in December!
When in the history of modern media have we had such a large percentage of seemingly incompetent, purposely daft or otherwise editorially brain dead reporters/pundits/journalists/anchors/hosts ..
Can we say “Gee, W?”
Now ask yourself logically, Y?
Why is the MSM so blatantly and without any shame shilling for Obama almost in unison?
This should not be a difficult answer. We get what “they” want.
FIRST of all, actual Democrats do prefer Hillary. It is the so-called “Democrats for a Day” et al who have given Obama his (apparent) lead. Many of these people have NO intention of voting for the Democrat in the GE.
I am not a member of the Dem party, and likely won’t be, but I can’t believe most of the party leadership want THIS crap to be the face of the party. Somebody forward this to them AND the SDs. By tacitly condoning this rhetoric, Obama takes ownership of it. If he REALLY wanted to take the high road as he’s always claiming, he could make a short statement on the site to the effect of “this type of rhetoric will NOT be tolerated and does NOT represent our vision of uniting America (blahblahblah)” then get one of their hired bloggers to ENFORCE IT. Then I might have a modicum of respect for his campaign.
Then they stop threatening the SDs (loyal Democrats) with a primary attack, and EARN those votes as well. I’m guessing John Lewis might not be to happy to see this stuff associated with his candidate.
I came by my support of Hillary through lots of research and soul-searching after Edwards suspended, and being in CA I may be able to vote my candidate without hurting the Ds should he be the nominee, but unless he breaks his pattern and disavows this garbage, he will NEVER have my vote, and will undoubtedly hurt the Democrats horribly. How sad, just when they had the chance to reclaim their core values, to have it wrecked by an egomaniac like this…
Wrong, Clinton has more votes from Democrats thus more delegates and in states with closed Primaries - she has won. So, the choice of Democrats is Hillary Clinton.
No matter how many times you Obama followers pronounce the inane “more votes, more delegates, more states” meme, this race is a statistical tie. The reality is that barring a collapse by one of the candidates (and if this should happen, my bet is on Obama), Clinton will lead in the popular vote and Obama will have a just a double digit lead (<100) delegates after all 50 states are counted. Thus, neither candidate can reach the magic number to obtain the nomination and the Super Delegates will decide.
Now, Clinton will have won if not all, by far, most of the remaining contests, so, the “big Mo” will be with her. Obama will continue to have his “embarrassing” associations brought to light - and show just how unelectable he is in November. Clinton will also continue to lead on issues such as the economy that are in the forefront of American voters. So, the Super Delegates unless they want to really lose and that includes Congressional seats, it is an easy decision and Clinton is chosen. Them’s the roolz and that’s how the winning hand is played.
I have a $100 bet with my cousin that if Obama is our nominee, he will lose in California.
i love it. i’m looking forward to seeing california go red if obama’s nominated. also massachusetts. maybe that will get the attention of the nutjobs who’ve made such a mess of our party. maybe it will get them OUT and get real leaders in. only then can i again call myself a dem. for now, after straight dem ticket votes every year since ‘72, i can’t associate myself with the so-called “democratic” party.
If by “the party” you mean Democrats, sorry. Clinton has a huge edge there. Obama’s edge is coming from caucuses and open primaries–and those voes will hold up in Nov, no worries.
But you’re right, if you disenfranchise 20 or so states, you might be able to find a way to jerrymander an Obama lead among Democrats. Go heavy wth Alaska.
Hillary’s votes are 75% from the Dem base. Obama’s are only 55% Dem base. 45% of Obama’s votes are from Indepdendents and Republicans. That’s almost half of his votes. And I think that one could safely assume that he picked up the majority of those votes primarily in the red-state caucuses that go to the Republican nominee in the GE.
If you extrapolate Obama’s 55% base vote our further, and make a general assumption that approximately half of those votes are from ethnic blacks, Obama has only won approximately 28% of his votes from other ethnic groups in the Dem base, such as whites, latinos, and asians.
In reality, Hillary has won more votes from the Dem base. If these were closed Primaries, we wouldn’t even be discussing Obama as the front-runner. He would be way back in second place.
Those statistics do not bode well for Obama in the GE if he wins the nomination. Unless the Dem base in all the blue-states that Hillary was won rally to support him, I’d say he’s up shit creek without a paddle.
There’s the rub, right? Obama would only win if the Democratic supporters of Hillary vote D in November. It looks like Hillary supporters (75% of the Dem base!!!!!!) are going to all be voting Republican. That means that if Obama wins the nomination, the Republican party gets an inevitable, unstoppable majority. Shame on Obama for making 75% of true Democrats (not those pesky African-Americans) vote for a Republican!!! He’s going to ruin the country by making the 75% of us true Dems who really care vote for Bush III, John “Stay in Iraq for 100 years” McSame!!!
If your candidate has it all locked up then what the hell are you doing here? Insulting and irritating people that will be needed to win a GE is not only a stupid tactic, it’s a damn stupid tactic.
Smart Obama supporters are all ready trying to make nice with Clinton supporters knowing they will need them if he wins the nomination. (Sorry folks, I know smart Obama supporter is an oxymoron.)
Go away little troll. You are boring.
I agree with you totally. He is too disgraceful and I think he will come to be known for what he is: a sham candidate.
so what is it that you are doing? are you being paid to lie and distort? are you kidding me, she would not be able to take on mccain in the fall? Give me 2 examples of how Obama would take on and beat mccain, just 2. So you come here and criticize people who have every right to air and vent their feelings and you call us cry babies, is that all you have is name calling? any and all criticism of BO is documented with facts, not rumor or innuendo or bad sportsmanship, FACTS!
Being paid to distort - talking about yourself are you - thanks for letting us know.
what the hell are you talking about?
“you are not only NOT cutting into Obama’s lead”
Fifteen yards and loss of down for premature triumphalism.
Yer man is already glissading down the backside of Gravity’s Rainbow as reported in the New York Times. The fad has passed and an ever-fickle public is looking for a new pet rock.
Shillelagh law will be the new rage at the Donnybrook Fair in the credentials committee in Denver.
Welcome to Stalingrad, Obama worshiper.
Isn’t there some moderation at BO.com?
Can you find a statement somewhere which says that all community blog posts are subject to removal if they are found offensive?
If so, then the post REALLY belongs to Obama.
If he can delete pro-Hillary comment from his blog, he sure has moderators working on his web site.
Perhaps someone needs to put up a very nice pro-hillary page and see how long it stays up? hmmm…
didn’t take them long to put up a disclaimer about Randi Rhodes. But the page sat with no disclaimer till the fit hit the shan
In order to believe the truth about a person, someone who continually denies, denies, denies, you need in a case like this to not look any further than the person who shares their bed at night, and in this case, Michelle Obama!
Her “they will get it” and her “is it a fairy tale for a black man to become President” and her “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of America” kind of rolls together the ideals of the Obama household! And let’s not forget her Thesis at Princeton on Race that is no longer available till after November 21st/08 talk about transparency Barack!
If Obama is not made accountable for this race baiting and sexism that emanates from his website and his events, we will see it used again and again in the future. The monster he is at best tolerating will end up consuming the Democratic Party and the cause of civil rights as well. The foolish enablers of Obamanism who are trying to ride the back of the tiger had better take stock and move quickly to rein it in or they will end up inside. Those who care must stand and be counted even if it means turning our backs on long established alliances and voting habits.
Not only Obama but so-called “progressive” bloggers who are using the race card repeatedly like a fire hose. Its to the point now if you’re white and don’t support Obama you have to be a racist.
Funny thing is these “progressive” bloggers are merely doing a variant of what Bush did after 9/11. Where if you didn’t agree with him you were against the U.S. and “objectively pro-terrorist”.
Pro-Obama progressives, meet Cheney.
Cheney, meet your ideological cousins from the left.
Anybody who wants to preserve this one for posterity (”Hillary vs Obama: The Slavery Perspective”) had better click on the link, right now, and save it as a pdf. You really have to see this one, in its original form, to full appreciate it.
It’ll stay up long enough to get the job done, but I don’t think they’ll keep it on the Obama website into perpetuity.
I followed the link above and fortunately, there were several sensible comments in response to that pathetically ignorant and bullying blog Hillary vs Obama: The Slavery Perspective.
African Americans need to ask themselves a few pertinent questions: Where was this passion when Jesse Jackson, Sr. was running for president? Al Sharpton? Not all blacks supported them with votes (although I did). Why does Barack Obama, who is half-white and has NO African American relatives apart from the ones he sired, engendering all of this viciousness within the black community?
I don’t think AAs really want to have an honest discussion about The Slavery Perspective and slave mentality just to get this biracial candidate elected POTUS. This is a public office and as such he will have to represent ALL of the people. He has to swear to “defend, protect the Constitution of the US.” and that means having to adhere to a system of checks & balances and working with the members of Congress. The Supreme Court is there riding shotgun on our Democracy. It’s absolutely pointless and absurd to hurl offensive racial insults at AA supporters of Hillary Clinton when the reality is that Obama would not be crowned King and have absolute sovereignity. AA supporters of Hillary are merely excercising their rights as citizens of the US to stand behind the candidate of their choice. A decision based on a sober look at the issues confronting the US at the present time. Not based on the politics of racialism.
That Obama supporters seem hellbent to be at the forefront of historically racist agendas that have kept AAs from enjoying their rights as American citizens, begs the question, who really is the slave? Who really is doing the slave masters bidding? Disenfranchizing voters, bullying oponent’s supporters, threatening and demeaning AA elected officials pubicly who have served our interests in some cases for decades, all of this for what purpose? To get Barack Obama elected president?
It should be remembered that slavery was commonplace in most civilizations in antiquity. Sadly, on the continent of Africa it was still practised long after other societies in the world had abandoned it. This is how it came to pass that Africans cooperated with European slave traders to send our ancestors on the long inhuman, vicious voyage known as the Middle Passage which resulted in our ancestors enslavement, those that survived, that is. I mention African involvement not to let white European slave traders off the hook, but to be historically accurate. The Obama campaign, however, seems to have a problem with historical accuracy.
BTW, Obama has no ancestors who suffered under slavery. I do.
Thank you for your thoughtful post. I agree with your statements. I am not African American so I cannot possibly know of the AA experience but I can empathize with it. I am not a racist for not supporting Mr. Obama. I am foremost an American citizen who is interested in Democracy and fair play. These dangerous race games he is playing are scary and do nothing to further any honest public discourse.
You are absolutely right. And don’t let them guilt you into voting for someone you don’t want. It’s your right as an American citizen to choose the candidate you wish to vote for.
Obama mastered the art of white guilt manipulation growing up and practising it on his white grandfather. He’s now using it on all white America. Don’t fall for it.
I resent that he’s played all sides against the middle: posturing as the most important symbol for AAs since MLK while covertly playing the race card. At the same time he’s encouraged the notion among whites that to not support him means that you are racist.
No good will come from this kind of divisive politicking. And that the DNC has allowed it, along withe the MSM’s disgusting behavior, and then blamed the Clinton campaign for everything is an outrage.
They are treating us as if we are stupid. As if we don’t have a brain to think for ourselves. I think this is what I resent more than anything.
FleaFlicker, Viewing his web site is like playing “wack a mole”. Good find.

It is an interesting read.
Thanks Susan for getting it out of the “spam” cage. You rock!
I would really enjoy reading a diary by you backing up what you are claiming. I have never heard anyone say this before.
I’ll look into it. It occured to me after that ‘great’ race speech when he threw his grandmother under the bus. What kind of husband doesn’t heed his wife’s fears about feeling threatened? I though it was very telling that his grandfather felt the need to explain to Obama that the man his grandmoter was so frightened of was black and that was the only reason she was making a big deal of it. It was like his grandfather was apologizing to him for his wife’s reaction.
We all know that kids in general will manipulate their parents if they find out they can do so. Kids do this all the time. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that Obama may have done so. They sprung for a private school. Did his mother also attend private school as a child? I don’t get the sense these people were rich. There are a multitude of reasons people spring for private school apart from the belief that you can get a better edcucation. Some people put kids in private school to protect them from the ‘unsavory’ influences of kids they feel come from families that don’t share their values. And if they paid for his schooling they would have more say/clout if there was a problem. Maybe they felt they were protecting him from possible discrimination. Or could it be that if there were other AAs in Hawaii, they wanted to keep him from mingling with them.
They seem to have been a very insular family. You have yet to see anyone step forward to claim to have known them. Considering his historic candidacy, wouldn’t human interest stories be expected?
Another thing that bothers me on this track: no ex-grilfriends either. No prom dates? Or anything like that. Not saying it had to be serious. Just saying….
Odd, no childhood friends or Obamagirls…
eh Barry?
(rib rib) to flea!
I see where you’re going with this you little sneak! LOL
Good Idea!!!
Slavery was practiced elsewhere, but NOT the particularly brutal form that we practiced here. The horrors of teh middle passage are embleatic of that.
mimi—
I suspect that BO has ancestors that were associated with slavery…..they probably brought your ancestors to the “Door of No Return”.
Obama shows his lack of leadership skills that inspire only hate and smear campaigns. I’d bet that few of those racist bloggers have been in Iraq or know what his Iraq exit plan really is, or fully understand that his proposed universal health coverage plan can’t be affordable, or realize that when he says there are plenty of good ideas, that the one’s he promotes aren’t very good. How can he be a serious candidate on hope and inspiration when what he inspires is repugnant? Of course the Republicans know everything, they knew about Wright and know about Michelle’s dissertation, they know how much ‘blow’ he did and with whom, and he’s clearly the easier to beat and if he happens to win he’s clearly the least progressive and will also be the least effective. But, hey, it’s Democracy and hate buys votes. What will he do with McCain though? the media also loves him and he once lost an election because he’d has an adopted daughter of color.
Look, the Obama campaign is careening out of control. This is not the kind of thing that confident campaigns do. He has no general election strategy obviously if this is the kind of stuff he’s using right now. Or he’s too clueless to realize that all this will come back to bite him and the party completely in Nov.
This is Obama’s base. He attracts thousands of anti-White and anti-American bigots.
God help America if Obama and his supporters get in the White House.
Please, spare us your pseudo-racial histrionics. Such neo-Confederate reasoning makes you sound like a fool, which I assume you’re not. Suffice to say that Obama has repeatedly misrepresented himself on many levels and issues during his campaign for president, you’re not going to vote for him on account of it, and leave it at that.
You Know..
I get the Impression by now…that Niether Obama or his Campaign Organizers Care what anyone thinks..No matter what He does or says..thaere has been little Public or Media Backlash like there has with Hillary..THE pOWER has gone to thier Heads with the momentum and support they have now..Obama apparently feels like He can FLAUNT it..and show his TRUE COLORS..and True Ideology…Pastor Wright Style..
His Web Site shows One side of Obamas Ideology..He public shows the other ..”I’ve kissed thousands of Babys (Poohee SIDE..) using everyone elses tlaking points because He has taken enough Notes to know the Cheeer lines..He”s SAAAAALICK..alright…
Here is a hint: maybe if you folks spent half as much time raising money, canvassing door to door and doing something OTHER than posting on blogs and presenting yourselves as unhinged crybabies, maybe your candidate would be in the lead. But it seems you are more than content to sit around and whine about the unfairness of getting your heinies kicked by a better organized, smarter campaign. By taking this approach, you are not only NOT cutting into Obama’s lead, but you are also showing yourselves unworthy to take on McCain in the fall.
Oh yes and dont forget his be a democrat for a day commercials… Or I have her supporters but she cant say the same… Hmmmm sounds like Obama is all about himself not the party.. Get a clue then come back and chat
I’ve got to run and take some photo’s, it’s been fun chatting with my fellow NQ friends, I look forward to reading B-Rob’s comments later, if he responds.
Have a great Sunday. Go HILLARY!
Fleaflicker, I sure hope you post this on MyDD where the Obamamorons gather.
How can anyone think of voting for this duplicitous, power hungry, divisive hypocrite!
I will post it there tomorrow Mary Jo. Count on it.

FleaFlicker, viewing his website is like playing “whack a mole”.
I have been wondering what the dynamics were in AA community during the history of slavery were from an AA’s percpective.
I apoligize in advance for the launguage I use and refer to it from a strictly historical perspective.
Question; Why do I get the impression Obama’s campaign and supporters are “framing the argument” in such a way as to call anyone who supports Senator Clinton “house niggers” and Obama supporters as “field hands”?
I have “Gone with the Wind” between the ears.
The vitriol of the satire and the context it was used in is an insult to Harriet Tubman.

Sam Seder, just a moment ago on his Air America show:
“Barack Obama is, clearly, fully vetted, and Hillary Clinton is pretty muchvetted…”
Obama is “fully vetted?” Really? Did you think that before the Rev. Wright fiasco? Before Rezko? Hey Sam, you realize that the media has barely touched on Obama’s sleazy dealings with slumlords? FULLY VETTED?
And Hillary is “pretty much” vetted?
Caller says that Obama-Webb would be a good ticket “except, with Obama’s Senate experience, having another Freshman would not be a good idea…”
Seder: “Does anybody doubt that when Obama and Webb say things, they aren’t being serious? Does anyone doubt that these two have gravitas?”
Um, simply put, Sam: Nobody questions Jim Webb’s gravitas and seriousness. Obama will have to answer for himself. They are NOT the SAME PERSON.
Finally: Seder tells us that “the media needs to stop telling us that this is still a race, this race is (cough) mathematically over…”
Uh huh. Screw you, Seder. I can’t believe I wrote an email protesting your demotion on Air America last year. You and Air Obama radio can go straight to hell.
What a jackass.
Does someone care to vet him on Odinga?
Would Sam Seder dare to ask Obama about this?
No offense, but merely asking the candidate isn’t exactly vetting.
You are right. “Grill” is a better word.
Better yet, I want him vetted on Odinga and Dick Morris. I think that the FEC would be interested to see where the funds came from to send Dick Morris, an Obama Campaign advisor, to Kenya to help with that election. Dick Morris doesn’t to “pro bono”. count on it.
Seder is a koolaid drinking tool.. I’m so tired of people falling all over themselves to be the hippest guy on the block by supporting Obama.
Obama.. vetted? Yeah right. And to compare Obama to Jim Webb is an insult to Jim Webb. Obama hasn’t an ounce of “gravita”, he can’t even fucking bowl!
“Obama is clearly, fully vetted.” Has this guy (Seder) completely lost his mind? For the majority of voters who don’t visit this site, Obama hasn’t been vetted at all. But don’t think that the republicans will fail to change that if Obama is nominated.
Sam Seder is just a more polite male version of Randi Rhodes. All reason and common sense has disappeared on Air Obama. I cringe to recall that just a few months ago I listened to those people all day everyday. This Obamamania has been a wake-up call for me in so many ways.
I know exactly how you feel. It makes me feel stupid on one hand and like I need to give my brain a bath on the other.
Air America may believe that all us little libs will come trotting back once the Dems have a nominee but I think they’re really wrong on this one.
Many of us thought that Air America was a progressive/liberal place where progressive/liberal ideas and issues would be discussed. Turns out it’s the Obamanation and in between short bursts of sending some vitriol John McCain’s way they trash Hillary Clinton as often as possible.
Some of us don’t like being conned. Some of us get down right pyst-off about that. And those of us that don’t like dishonesty no matter which direction it comes from will not go back to Air Obama to listen to them spew about McCain. They’ve all ready proven they have no integrity; why would we care what they think or say?
Seder is refusing to take phone calls concerning Rhodes until the last half-hour of his three-hour Sunday show. Why? Because “I want to stay on task” and “I can’t believe that with all these Macro-issues…torture, spying, the war…anyone wants to deal with…this” (he never actually says what “this” is, but I think we can infer…)
I wonder if, when the time comes around, Seder will criticize RHODES for spending so much time calling Hillary a “whore” when there are all these “Macro-issues” to deal with. On second thought, I don’t wonder at all.
And Seder ended the second hour of his show by repeating “the conventional wisdom is that there is still a race for the Democratic nomination…but it IS over…I’m not saying Hillary should drop out because you know what? No one would listen to me if I did.”
Got that last part right, at least.
You all are turning into a bunch of hypocrites. Is it news to you that some blacks feel this way? So much for coalition building LOL.
Blame Hillary on slavery is wrong. And Obama is not a victim of slave trade.
