Ya THINK?

Obama Campaign Removes New Black Panther Party Endorsement From Web Site

A day AFTER his "My Granny's Embarrassing" speech? Why not before it? Like, you know, if a juedo candidate had, say, David Duke's Think Tank listed, or some such crap. Someone probably would have picked up on that sooner than later.

Barack Obama’s campaign has removed an endorsement by the New Black Panther Party from its Web site, one day after the Illinois senator delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America.

“The page in question has been removed from our campaign Web site,” Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor told FOXNews.com after inquiries about the endorsement.

“It’s our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

And this seems to be a sentiment embraced wholeheartedly by the Obama campaign...

...Obama spokeswoman Tiffany Edwards said before the campaign removed the endorsement that that section of the Web site “has nothing to do with us.”

“People can form their own groups,” she told FOXNews.com.

“It’s not something that the campaign — it’s not something that we’ve done.”

No, Rev. Wright/Black Panthers/Samantha Powers/ad nauseum did it. I guess Senator Obama never, ever, EVER heard about anything the Black Panthers, EVER.

Obama's whole schtick disgusts me more every single day. And, honestly? I didn't think that was possible.

Barack Obama gave a good speech on race, but what if it was designed to distract attention from much more damaging non-racial aspects of his THEOLGOY? See:

Oh, please. Advertise your religious slant somewhere else.

The reason Barack is so popular is the rest of the
politicans have all turned out to be two-faced liars.If there was someone else that Americans could
trust I'd vote for them.Remember Bush said he didn't
believe in Nation building and thought the military
should only be used when a threat to the nation was evident.I guess thirty million people pouring over your border less of a threat then a crazed
dictator 8 thousand millions away.

greg, puddin', Barack has distinguished himself from the "two-faced liar" crowd exactly how? I could probably name a couple whoppers from him just in the past 24 hours alone.

Are they all phoneys?

Yup. I just try to pick the least phoniest of the lot.

Cynical, I know, but we live a cynical world, my friend.

The Real Jeff; Maybe you have the right attitude.

I actually believe that I have a "glass is half full" approach here, greg. I truly do. Robert Heinlein once offered this advice:

"If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong."

And it's what I follow when I have an election slate that is unsavory. So far, it's worked.
