Presidential Politics Get Ugly in California
October 17th, 2008

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.

That is a nice ad.
I don’t understand why and where all this hatred is coming from? Americans need to open there eyes, and see this country for what it really is… Obama gives us a glimmer of hope, which as been stripped away from all races and cultural backgrounds. The last eight years, has been farmost the worse in America history. Life is to short to focus on hatred, we all need to come together and get obama in office, not because his black but because what he stands for. For the first time in my life, I gave a donation to the presidental campaign. I’ve never felt so moved, and inspired in my life. McCain doesn’t relate to the working class people. He doesn’t understand our daily struggles. Obama does! If you gotta hold your breath, close your eyes, or even pray…Make sure you vote for obama, vote for a change!!
Obama/Biden 08
Sad to see how grown people act like children. This might be the reason why our children act like they do, Childess Grow up.
I love Obama and he will always have my vote. It will always be people trying to tear another fellow helper down. But God Knows best for this country and that best is Obama
Obama that’s my boy and these stupid ass people need to quit haten on him just because he is a strong successful black brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some people will never change, because they choose to be ignorant. And
they want thier seeds(children) to be ignorant as well…go figure. But guess
what that’s thier problem…we are going to choose to move on! let them
reap what they sow…. and they will…….we must still pray that they find
wisdom peace and understanding
Struggling, my uncle said the same thing when the primaries was going on. He said you haven’t seen nothing yet wait until it get close to election. Its showing and it is sad these are people that has eat with us, smile and laughed with us, drinked, worked, rode in our cars and walked the streets with us. Look whats coming to the light, Jesus said what is in a man will come out, what comes from the mouth comes from the heart, defilement is withing, WOW
They are favor haters.
I didn’t think Obama would make it this far just because of his name. I was born in 1962 and I said who is going to vote for a black man named BARACK OBAMA , I am a black woman and he has my vote chow bella!!!!!
Who in the hell would put a black man in the White House anyway? They would put an Asian in there first. You put one dark skinned man in the chair and he will mess up this country big time. He is better off running as a mayor for a city like Detroit.
Cocoa59, for those of us who are in the trenches, we are in for it.
This is awful they need to stop this mess before someone get hurt.
I have learned something from Obama and thats you got to let some things just roll off and go on.
lets see if mccain and palin will speak out for or against.
i tried but couldn’t digg it.
newsmax.com also has bad stuff.
and several pacs ..
As we near closer to the election, we will see the real person as they really are. Racism is very deep rooted in white people, they have been lied to all their lives to think that they are superior and we are less than human. We must remember our history, they would love to go back to the 40’s, and 30’s where we knew our place. I feel this is a wake-up call for all to see who they really are, watch your back on your jobs, and especially those smiling and grinning in your face trying to find out where you are politically, just be cool and don’t tell them anything ! They are killers all over the world it’s something in their DNA, thye cant help it. They will take their wife down over insurance policy, what do you think they will do to you. All those brothas lynched in the south, for nothing, they have not changed..we must forget who they really are.
Warrior Princess.
Yes everyone, we need to watch our backs. Not for the obvious stuff like the website referenced in the above article. It will be a lot more subtle. Be especially careful when it comes to your job. The other stuff we can better tolerate but we all need our jobs.
Here we go! Mister hater UMlaw, you are so prejudice it isn’t funny you need help. They got an Russian in California who is a Governor. Don’t the word communist come to mind when you think of him. No, because he is a white man. Your race is not perfect nor will it ever be. You are the very reason the United States is in the shape it’s in because of racist peoples like you. You are so simple but stupid. Go! Go! Go! Go! Barack Obama that’s who’s going to win whether you like or not.
See now, this is why we don’t need a dark skinned person in office. Arnold Shwartznagger is from Austria, not Russia. Who need to brush up on your history sister.
This is not campaigning – this is straight up RACISM. Its sad to think we haven’t changed that much in 60 years. THATs WHY WE NEED CHANGE. VOTE OBAMA
Thank you Obama supporters for your great comments – To the couple of loser rethuglicans – we ALL know how great of a job they have done for the past 8 horrifying years and you’re afraid of a intelligent AA? Are you kidding me? Rich old white men have ruined this country. We all are now and will be paying for their mistakes and greed for a long, long time. OBAMA 08!!
ALL I KNOW IS YOU REAP WHAT U SOAR!!!! BARACK YOU GOT MY VOTE………………ITS REAPING TIME “GOOD OLD WHITE BOY”!!!!!
