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.

UMlaw I think you are only posting to cause trouble. Get a life or find something better to do with the one you have. Your rhetoric accomplishes nothing. Thanks for your input though, I needed a laugh!!

To all of my fellow Obama supporters, Let us not stoop to the level of those whose ignorance blinds them and fills them with hatred. Let us instead endeavor to take the high road as our leader has. We should not retort insult for insult but rather focus on our unity. It is the unity and hope of a people that will persevere. Please be mindful that our brother is the descendant of both African and Anglo heritage and we should be respectful of that. The fear of those like UMlaw and others like him, is real and powerful, but there is more power and more strength in hope and faith. So let us rather be shining examples of the man who has decided to follow his calling in spite of the danger, the hatred and the fear, to be a beacon of light. A pathway of change for a better America and a better world.

I had enough with the dirty politics. Can we just all go out and vote.

I agree with whoever said people choose to remain ignorant because whoever thinks that there is any connection between those two men is obviously choosing to remain ignorant. Also, we’re being tricked again, that’s not the real UMlaw posting that racist stuff up there. The real UMlaw is more arrogant and articulate. That’s probably that illiterate racist “david”.

i wish people would stop calling obama, black… he is bi-racial. there are tons of us in this world.. shouldn’t we have our own label…………



please Said on

In answer to you question, where all this hatred is coming from. America was founded on hatred. Only for a long time it has been hidden. I think we can expect a lot more before it all said and done.

Even given the facts some people still want to act lik Mccaine and Palain are the best quilified for the job of President and Vice President.



lynn Said on

Katrina Said on

I think they sould be ashame talking about obama and my opinion is they is some haters !!!!!!!!



DeeLaw Said on

Actually UMlAW I think that you need to leave the College that you are in..stop taking up Law classes (if thats what you really are taking up) and go back to kindergarten…start all over again and take some spelling lessons. Its SCHWARZENEGGER not SHWATZAGGAR….Each and everytime you log onto this site you have something stupid and idiotic to say….You never have anything with substenance to your rhetoric. I think that the dean of your school of choice made a mistake in allowing you to come to that campus because you are truly ignorant to the issues and facts on anything that you speak of. Maybe you should go back to where you came from…its makes for one less ignorant person taking up space here!!!



Bro Jay Said on

The first thing that I want to say is Obama has made me proud. He is a sophisticated man and he has earned his way to the top. History will be made on November 4th. As for UMlaw….. You are so ignorant it is senseless. Do you really think your race is superior? Ha….. I am not going to get into a racial battle with you but I want to point out an old saying… The darker the skin the older the the race; and alongside that saying we have this one, ” wisdom comes with age and wisdom is passed down from generation to generation.” I am sure you can gather what i mean…. You know what I really think, I think that you are afraid that this “BLACK MAN” is going to get in office and outshine every other president. You fear that he will do a better job than the white presidents have done and you dont want to see that happen. So after Obama wins do us all a favor…..KiILL YOURSELF… AND FEEL FREE TO TAKE ANY ONE WHO THINKS LIKE YOU ALONG!



ditto Said on

UMLAW we would put a black man in the White House first of all Obama not dark skinned why not put a black man in the White House . The way this world is today is because of a white man you can’t blame the black man for what Bush and his aids done did.The white man done messed this world up for thinking they know everthing it’s time for change and it’s coming so get over it .Maybe we can get a white man to be a bathroom stalker since thats what they like to do at airports or up in office ( Gov )cheating on there wives or stealing from there compaines. There no better than the mayor of Detroit he did what he did they did what they did so get it and don’t be a racist and Obama is both so whats the problem.Your just words can’t even express you.
