Presidential Politics Get Ugly in California

waterboarding

Presidential politics get ugly in California.

Sacramento County Republican leaders finally took down material from the party’s official Web site that encouraged people to “Waterboard Barack Obama.” The site also sought to link the Democratic presidential candidate to Osama bin Laden – material that even offended state GOP leaders. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who’s been pushing the party to appeal to more people, chastised party officials for its handling of the site –  that included materials that ranged from depicting Obama in a turban to attacks on his wife, Michelle Obama. “In the governor’s view, it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” said Julie Soderlund, a Schwarzenegger spokeswoman. Hector Barajas, a California Republican Party spokesman, said that while the Democrats weren’t innocent when it came to dirty politics, in this case the party might have gone too far. Barajas said the campaign should be about who is ready to be the nation’s commander-in-chief, that Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has never questioned Obama’s patriotism, that he’d ask local leaders to take down the offensive content. By Tuesday night, much of the questionable material had been removed, replaced with political cartoons attacking Obama.

Obama must win. He is the best man for the job. He represents a fresh and better change in todays and the future leadership. McCain and Pailin need to go off somewhere and play golf or Hockey or something for the next for years.

I am so frustrated with all this mess. Racism is coming out. I am going to share a scenario that happened this week. It is not exact but I want you to see the majority is really pitiful. I was in an email chat with someone. I had to correct the person on something and tell them that all the others had no issues. The person(who was majority) responded well….I guess the are all BLACK also, I asked the person to clarify they would not. I called them on it and took action to remove them from the space. They blamed their actions on a illness. They have never met me but assumed I was BLACK. This is the ignorance we are dealing with. The bottom line is McCain is done!!! The Republicans know to. Just the thought of having to be led by one of us irks them. Guess What…………Who knows it may be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Re: Osama Bin Laden. They never found him because he is in Brooklyn, NY on Atlantic Avenue. This is not a joke. They need to check. He is a dialysis patient so there is no way he is in some hills.

Amazing:

So much talk of understanding and harmony of the races. Yet what do we find in these comments: hatred and racism. Read some of the comments on this page about white people: “They are killers all over the world it’s something in their DNA, thye cant help it. ” “crackas” etc etc etc.

Looks like racists come in all colors, black included, and the comments on this page go to prove that.



Shay Said on

Im a black woman, and i didnt vote for Barack Obama because he is black, i voted for him because he is a qualified black man! God let your will be done…..YES WE CAN!!



Racism has took on a new form Said on

The GOP has held office for years now! and thought of an African American taking office has turned som folks beet red, so by any means they will do what ever to discredit Obama…

You people here disgust me…your sitting here accusing all white people of being racist and every white person I know is voting for Obama. On the other hand not a single black perosn I know or have yet to see is voting for Mccain…so which are more racist. Clearly Obamas 2 Reverends are racist and no one has a problem with that, Oprah did though right. His friendship with a domestic terrorist…thats ok to i guess.. I hope he does win so maybe that will shut you guys the hell up. I mean seriously BET..are you kidding me..can I start WET, no because I would be racist… Before you all start crying that Im a racist.. I listen to pretty much all black music, all my favorite entertainers are black, my favorite athletes are black…my boss is black..seriously how come its ok for black people to be black and proud and I cant be white and proud without being a racist.



margaret Said on

UMLAW/David- No one can mess up this country more than the white devil has since the white house was built by US! Lies, corruption, theft, deciet, adultry, assassinations, false flag operations, and media control has sent Amerikkka nose diving into the shitter! Who did this the blackman or the skunk of the planet earth? Who is responsible for this wall street fiasco, the blackman or your race? UMLAW, you aint nothing but a white devil posing as an asian racist. Trying to cause a rift between black and yellow demon? I had a hunch that you were white, and now i am convinced! As for you David, go take your white ass back to hillbilly hollar and give your mama and your dog a bath! Only a white devil would come on a black website for the sake of spreading lies, despair and mischief! But what else should we expect from the great decievers? Its funny how both of you country time, cave monkeys refuse to look at the devils deeds while in power lol! From wicked foreign policy to the support of the criminal settlement of Israel, the illuminatti (rich white, elite) have captured high offices and wreaked havoc across the globe! These satan worshipping caucus rats have plunged the world into wars, created diseases (boydgraves.com), rigged elections and use the occult to weaken the already weak minded! The Bush family, Rockerfellers, Rothschilds…. just to name a few. And to no ones surprise, they are all white devils! They have gotten rich of the death and demise of the people! Evil and twisted, they are in all levlels of government! The problems facing this world is no coincidence, but white man made disasters, physical and economic! Dont take my word for it, just look at the profits made from this war and economic mess! Look and see who got paid while the Amerikkkan people clean up behind corporate greed! Cant none of you krackers call me a liar! So the next time any of you devils want to point the finger, you can start with the man in the mirror! UMLAW , your people came out of the blackman and so did the white devils! Both of you outhouse #@~~ crickets need to respect your elders (mendels law of genetics)! You devils love to blame black people for the condition YOU put us in! DAVID, get off UMLAW’s nuts and speak for yourself! Come up with something better than quotes from the KKK manual! I know you hate niggers because you hate yourself and need a scapegoat! Thank God for this election, the devil is revealing himself all across Amerikkka! Who said the white man had changed lol? he changed alright, into demon form! Black Power!

David: There should be a law stating that if you can not spell simple words that my seven year old son can spell…( writing, truth and people) you can not vote. Jesus Christ.. You must have had some one reading the posts to you and decided to respond without the proper assistance.. As a matter of fact, most computers have a spell check on them, you should consider using it.



Motivated Said on

I am not a racist. I will not vote for Obama just because he is a black man. I do not ignore Mccains arguments. I watch him on television as well as Obama to get a clear sight of what each of them are about. I can honestly say that Obama has the best solutions. He is going for what the American people really need. Him being black and making history is just sugar on top of the frosting….. LAMONT, you say that you wont vote for Obama because it will make it seem racist?… What kind of sense does that make… That shows that you are not clear on whats going on, that you are not involved enough to know who is really the best candidate and that you are so off into the race of these men that you can’t concentrate on whats really important… Who will get the job done….. And even if it was about race, ( which I assure you, my views are not), you will honestly go against yours to satisfy theirs? Thats why we as black people struggle so much to get what we need for our families and what we need for ourselves. Because people think like you, we can’t stick together and if we can’t stick together this one time for a man who is well worth it, who we know is going to make it right for balcks , whites, latinos and every other race in America then when will we ever stick together? Whatever happened to United we stand, divided we fall…

Why don’t everyone just leave Obama alone and let go out and vote for him,
stop looking at what color he is, we are all human being, God children where everyone believe in Him or not. If McCain needed blood to live and
Obama give him some he will live and if Obama needed blood to live and McCain give him some he will live they are both man, we should care about
what color our skin is. White, Black, Red, Yellow or Blue we vote for who
ever get in the White House. So what worng with Obama been in the White
House and running the United State, let’s stop seeing color and see a man
who can running the Country just like any ohter man. God be with you Obama and keep you in His Grace. I pray for all God Children to wake up.
He said love ye one another.



Kerry-Anna Said on

Stuff like this just shows that republicans are worried about losing and are resourting to scare tactics. Someone mentioned Obama should be receiving votes for what he stands for not just for his skin color. I believe he will. My grandmother an 86 year old white women will be voting for him. Unfortunately she still uses racial slurs as do many white americans. I’m praying every night that more white people will do the same once the curtain is closed in their voting booth. Obama is the superior canidate. He is smarter, attended Columbia and Harvard. His policies and what he wants to do in office is what we need. Our country can’t take another term with a republican in office. Mccain doesn’t even think there is anything wrong with our economy. Nevermind his personal life. He cheated on the mother of his children and left her after she waited for him for 5+ years while he was a POW. I wouldn’t associate with a man like that. Why would I want one running my country. Don’t even get me started on his VP canidate. Mccain will never last 4 years in office. Does anyone trust Palin to run our country when he dies? I think she is possibly worse than Bush. If that is even possible. I don’t think I’ve spent $150,000 on clothes in my whole life and I can shop. She spent that on one shopping spree. She charged Alaska for family vacations. Our $700 billion debt doesn’t need her spending habbits in office. Here is hoping for change in ‘08 and being able to tell my bi-racial children they can be anything they want when they grow up. And it being 100% true…..
