Obama Cutout Evokes Lynchings! Oregon Christian University Facing Racial Issues!


I came across a very revealing article which I will provide the link to now; (http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/racial_incident_rattles_george.html). It talks about how racism is an issue at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. There was a cutout of Barack Obama hanging from a tree. On the representation of Obama "Act Six reject" was written, according to the article. It goes on to explain that Act Six is a scholarship program whose recipients are mainly minorities. The campus is mostly caucasian with a republican student group. There are no groups for democrats at this christian university. The story did not say who the culprits were. But the motive is clear from what was written on that image of Obama. Someone was angry about the 1 yr. old Act Six scholarship program. It's the affirmative action outrage that many whites express that is the cause of this incident. For more insight into this standpoint on affirmative action go to: (http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-eberstadt030501.shtml).

See, I've heard it from a Conservative Republican that I used to work with. He was a staunch supporter of John McCain & a ex-cop. He was telling me about some of the ideology of his fellow party members. They felt that affirmative action was unfair & helped blacks get ahead who did not deserve to. The basis of this view is that there is no imbalance in the privileges of blacks & whites. Since this campus is populated with mainly republican whites, it's easy to see how they tied Obama to the fray. As the first potential black president, he is a target of racism from every angle. Not unlike the minority students who received the scholarships at George Fox University. The Republican party is not exactly the most welcoming to blacks. I've read conservative blogs that claim that Obama's success can only be attributed to affirmative action. So it only makes sense that Obama's likeness would be attached to this odious act. I just find it appalling that it occurred at a Christian university. The perpetrators are such hypocrites because those attitudes contradict scripture. Pray for them, Lord.

We All Know Who Bill Clinton Supports


I'm not disappointed by Bill Clinton's lackluster endorsement of Senator Barack Obama. He never was the "first black president" to me. I cannot count one thing that he did to help the poor. And wasn't he presiding over white house affairs(business affairs not personal)during the Rwandan genocide? What exactly has he done to earn such a moniker? This article expresses in great detail what he hasn't done for african-americans; http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_n40_v14/ai_21278590.
What sickens me is how strained he looks whenever he's asked a question about the leader of the democratic party. His full support should be behind Barack Obama simply because he represents his party. Even if he does not like him, he should be able to disregard his personal feelings. Bill Clinton certainly shouldn't appear to be endorsing Senator John McCain at the same time. It seemed a little strange to me when John McCain spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative in person. Barack Obama is the head of the democratic party. It seems quite odd that he wasn't there but his opponent was. But then I said,"Nah"! Bill Clinton wants bipartisan support for his program. That's why John McCain was there.

Lo& Behold, I was right! Mr. Clinton has been singing the praises of both John McCain & Sarah Palin! Now since he's such a freak, I just assumed he wanted to bang Ms. Palin. That's why he was gushing about how real she was. But then he went on to sound like a McCain supporter the more he spoke. I think we all know where he really stands on this issue. He's no Obama backer, that's blatantly obvious! That's what makes this video so funny. But even without Bill Clinton backing him, I believe Obama will win. John McCain is hurting his own campaign with his erratic antics. He's helping to boost Barack Obama's appeal. So thanks Bill Clinton for helping the real " first black president" get elected. You've done as much for him as you have for all black people.

South Carolina Mayor Ponders Whether Obama is the Anti-christ! What a Far Right Nut!


A South Carolina mayor named Danny Funderburk has been circulating an email that poses a ridiculous question. The email that was forwarded by him asked if anyone thought that Barack Obama was the antichrist. Remember, in my last posting I told you that John McCain has the South Carolina Attorney General in his truth squad. It seems as if there is a republican network of dishonesty that gets employed in every election. This article also brings up the fact that the far far right Glen Beck posed the same question to his viewers. Here's the link:http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/28/obama-antichrist-nc/. This is casting religious aspersions & apocalyptic fears into a presidential election. It's obvious that there is no real dirt on Barack Obama. Folks like Glen Beck & Danny Funderburk have to resort to evoking people's religious fears of the apocalypse. I guess the possibility of a black man running the country seems like the end of the world to some. But how did these mentally unstable people get into positions of power in the first place? I'm baffled!
