Dear Mainstream Media:
1) Obama has posted a fraudulent birth record. Please report this.
[crickets]
2) Obama’s campaign has engaged in attacks on free speech by shutting down YouTube accounts and hacking PUMA websites. Please report this.
[crickets]
3) Obama’s 200,000 person crowd was a sham and he was merely an intermission speaker at a 2 band rock concert. Please report this!!
[crickets]
4) The fainting ladies at Obama rallies were paid fainters and it was stagecraft. Please report this!!!!
[crickets]
5) Obama claims he was NEVER a Muslim, yet there is documented evidence that he was (no problem with being a Muslim, just his lie) Please report this!!!!!
[crickets]
Oh for heaven’s sake…won’t they report ANYTHING on this fraud? Oh right, today’s big news story on CNN and MSNBC…his birthday gift is missing; someone left it in a taxi cab.
obama is a racist!
where have you been thats old news.
are you suggesting that because he called his grandmother a “typical white person” he’s a racist?
You don’t think they would call me a racist if I called Obama a typical black person, do you?
Never mind.
Have you ever heard the tape of him reading excerpts of his book re: “White folks”?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no…he called his gramma a racist.
He did.
You don’t call out your own blood like that.
It’s an INDICATOR.
Tool.
This is amazing. An African American woman named Chris from Florida said she’s been called a racist and even if Hillary is veep she is not voting Obama. It was a great call.
I heard that. They will play the race card on anyone who doesn’t fall in line.
I’m black, and I’ve been called a racist too. It was online, but that doesn’t make it any less ridiculous!
I’m listening to this show, and I just have to say “Amen, sister!” to the lady that just called!!!
Now they’re talking about Max Cleland. I still cannot believe Obama uninvited Cleland from an event. I think Obama just cannot appear with personalities that upstage him in terms of courage.
Isn’t that about everybody.
That A$%wipe Oblahma shoved Max under the bus wheelchair and all!
Yeah, how DARE Max “lobby” on behalf of crippled veterans!!
TYPICAL LOBBYIST!!
STONE HIM!!!!!
Do I need to make some sort of SARCASM notation, here?
The Cleland story:

Hi trist, nice to meet you.
Hi There!
We should publicize this show so people listen to the podcast, the callers are really good.
Yup! I try to mention it to as many people as I can. I also have a youtube page if you wanna check it out.
I LOVE that there are so many people of color calling in tonight! ^_^
A third black woman caller now, who is frustrated with black people voting for Obama.
Me, me me!!! Several of them in my family.
But there a LOT of us out there not drinking the kool-aid. You wouldn’t know it by the way people on tv talk like it’s ALL of us. But it’s not.
And also keep in mind, many people have been pressured, or even threatened to vote for that scumbag.
Trist you should call in, make this a four-in-a-row. Maybe the AP will pick this up as a trend story. (African Americans behind the computer screen confront charges they are racist.)
I would, but I think the show is about over now. Maybe next week.
Shut them up by telling them you are voting for Cynthia McKinney (even if you don’t plan to).
Cynthia don’t play!
The third black woman caller who will vote McCain (unless Hillary is veep.)
Love what this caller says: “When Hillary got out of the race, the issues went with her. So all I have to go on is who loves their country.”
Said she doesn’t know if Obama loves his country or would sell his country out in negotiations. This woman is in the military, and said that unfortunately, she needs to know the candidate loves this country.
She’d done not one, but two, Iraq tours, so she has room to talk, too.
Really to hear these voices…the woman from the military is right on….she doubts Obama loves this country. Talking about how great Hillary was down at Ft. Bragg. She’s depressed, but will vote for McCain because she thinks he loves the country.
Doesn’t want to worry about someone who might sell-out the country….
That’s one of MY number one reasons. That guy and his wife are so anti-American, it’s crazy that people can’t see it…..some people anyway!
I see it, and can’t believe I say it because I thought only Repubs said this but does this guy love America? He seems anti-American to me.
The mark of all the left over members of the marxist, socialist, Stalinist,and communist parties in America, whose parties can’t make it (so they call themselves democrats) and who support him. The one thing they all have in common: THey hate America and they hate democracy as a way of “ruling”.
Really GLAD…to hear these voices….
She’s talking about how she’s been called a racist…and she’s black!
happened to me too!
CHRIS WAS AWESOME!
A woman called chris was called a racist. a black military woman was called a racist what is going on with black people?
Yeah really. You’d think they’d at least have the decency to call us “race traitors!”
In all fairness, I am now saying that about women, specifically feminists. So many self-proclaimed feminists went for Obama. What is up with women? or should I say what is up with feminists?
But….but….but…he’s CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!! And there’s always the fantasy that Michelle will kick off from some obscure disease and he’ll see THEM in the crowd and fall instantly in…. LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV….. and they’ll be WHISKED OFF to the WHITE HOUSE, where they will be the Pretty Princess of all of AMERICA!!!!!
It’s Davey Jones or David Cassidy syndrome….
Or BACKSTREET BOYZ for the younger set…
Teen crushes by fools who are first, too old, and second, should know better.
“Unrequited Hormones” only override the self-interests of the stupid. There are many ’stupid’ who walk amongst us, regrettably. And they’re allowed to VOTE, too.
Really good show! I’m definitely forwarding this one!
Wish I could hear the program all my system says is the server for the broadcast is overloaded:(
Well, it’s over now. so you should be able to pick up the archive. You gotta hear it!
Was the beginning good? I just tuned in when Chris was calling in.
I missed the first 15min. So I have to back myself. But last 45min were definitely worth it!
Cool, I bookmarked your YouTube page. One thing that frustrates me is this election people are now painting blacks with a broad brush, more so than before. Like “they” will vote Obama. I wonder if you’ve noticed more of it or is it the same.
We’ll listen for you next week, hope you call in!
Next Week. Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel
This is a wonderful program–I’m very impressed! Even with the technical issues, it’s quite …. VIBRANT!
Full marks, well done!
Didn’t you get the memo? All black people that don’t agree with or won’t vote for Obama are racists. Or we’re race traitors. Or something.
We can’t be people who point out things like:
A. Obama left poor black people to freeze and live in terrible conditions while he funneled money to slumlords.
B. Obama’ mother was a white American and his father was a black Kenyan. He has no ties to the legacy of slavery in this country. Yet he tries to use the legacy of Slavery and Civil Rights (neither have anything to do with his heritage) as a selling point to AA’s who are descendants of slaves and who stood up for Civil Rights (me).
He’s a phony.
Hey have you noticed how he pays NO respect to the Civil Rights activists? And in that article on his days as a law professor, they scan in a final exam he gave to students. One said “given the failure of the Civil Rights agenda, some are now suggesting reparations are the only true way for the country to make up for the past.”
What popped out to me was “the FAILURE of the civil rights agenda?” He thinks everything in the past is broken.
I can understand that. He wanted all the advantages of the ‘failed’ Civil Rights movement.
The fact that neither side of his family were participants is something not to be discussed.
That’s why he put out the March on Selma propaganda.
Of course! I never put that together, why he would lie about that.
Why do you think Jesse wants to cut his nuts off? It’s not jealously….well not JUST jealously, it’s because the messiah is reaping the benefits from those who DID fight and die for people like him. Yet he goes around and talks about the civil rights movement like HE personally was there, yet gives no credit for what the real heroes and leaders did.
It is ALSO because he hasn’t done a DAMN thing in his life yet is one days worth of voting away from the white house. He hasn’t done ANYTHING to earn it!
He is the ABSOLUTE worst example of Affirmative Action!
These are not his people.
That’s why.
He’s not OF them.
That putz Brooks at the NYT got it right in that article he wrote.
The guy is not “from” anywhere. He hangs out, but he doesn’t engage.
And that includes the black community.
Ooooh, that pisses me off too!. That he panders to blacks, speaking in that fake preacher voice, and talking about slavery and civil rights, like they were part of his heritage, but does he ever bring up the one part that he DOES have a claim to, the fact his mother’s family owned slaves? Nooooo! Somehow he completely forgets THAT part!
The guy just uses ANYbody, black white, it doesn’t matter. Whatever gets him ahead!
Let’s not forget cousin Odinga. He that lost the election and fomented violence that led to the deaths of many people.
Now said cousin is part of the government.
The dead people? Not so much.
Since this is an open thread, here goes.
I don’t comment much here, but when I do, I try to make a halfway sentient observation. And I take what I write seriously.
Is there any way for one to retrieve their halfway sentient comments, when they apparently follow some troll or anchovy comment, and get deleted in some mysterious way?
Many of my comments seem to get deleted, this way.
This has happened numerous times, and I wanted to expand these thoughts elsewhere.
This is getting really fucking irritating.
Please advise.
LOL that stinks Mitty. The Obama trolls seem to find you threatening to their messiah’s candidacy.
I think when a troll is discovered or reported, all its posts and comments responding to them are deleted.
sorry, I am sure there were some exceptional comments of yours!
Thanks guys.
Just trying to understand how the system works.
Actually I was just trying to plug a biography of my father, co- written by Ralph Cramden, Ed Norton, Carlos Marcello, Desi Arnez, and edited by Cecil B. Demented.
It’s called “The Dreams of My Father, Walter Mitty”.
This magnum opus will be available at national bookstores 1 September.
My autobiography, “Where Mittys Dare”, with an introduction by WJ(Wild Bill) Donovan, will be available in bookstores, 1 October.
I was not being in the least bit silly here.
It seems that the best way to engage relative youth, inexperience, pomposity, and arrogance is to approach it with a bit of humor and derision.
I think McCain understands this fully.
As a life-long Democrat, I hate to see this happen.
But the Obama clown show is utterly deserving of this sort of approach, in my opinion.
Your right candymarl. Although he cant really claim to much considering Axelrod just taught him his version of what “black” is. Thats what I tell myself…By the way, I was that last caller…wish I would of called in earlier..great show
It was really cool to hear you, and the other callers! ^_^
You were great, I’ve seen your YouTubes. And the part about not being sure if he’ll sell this country out, so glad to know I’m not the only one thinking that.
Look at how easily he caved on oil drilling. If he’s alone in a room with a rogue leader, if they just flatter him sufficiently, he’ll cave.
I want to thank everyone who called in - soldier4hillary, I’m your fan! It was great to have so many African Americans call in. I’m so glad you all enjoyed the show. Please come back next week - and don’t forget to tune in on Friday! You all are the best.
WTG DCMMedigirl! Awesome show!
^_^
Oh I will! I wish I would of called in earlier! But I just got off duty…but I will DEFINITELY be here earlier for the next show!
lol i’m black I’ve had my own father called me racist, because i don’t like obama. and lord don’t let me go to black voices, unless you want to be crucified. I’m a democrat but I don’t see the logic in straight ticket voting. Plus I think Obama’s racial attacks against people, goes against everything I believe in. If obama really understood appreciated the office he was running for, then he would have made sure that he would have understood the benefits of becoming hillary’s vice president, running for governor to give him exectuve experience. i will not vote for an intelligent black man who takes short cuts. I’ve lived eight years living under a cheat and i won’t do it again.
