I have no doubt that it was someone from the Fox Noise community or Team Clinton that page.

Obama supporters are passionate, but decent and respectful. We rarely even use profanity.

just e-mailed them. thanx. Since anyone can create a profile, that means anyone can get up to no good and try to create a story out of thin air--it would suck to lose the freedom to post to people who would use it to do harm (the 'evil-doers' if you will) But I think at this juncture in our history as a website, we must yield to the common good and each have to give urine and blood samples and submit to a full background check to be able to create a profile.

bte, i'm being 'ironical'

I wouldn't be surprised if FOX created the page and then reported on it. Did anyone notice that Obama is under fire because Rev. Wright said 9/11 was the fault of America but McCain isn't under fire despite the fact that he worked hard to get into the late Jerry Falwell's good graces in 2006 and Jerry Falwell blamed 9/11 on AMERICANS!

Link

McCain knew Falwell had blamed Americans before he courted and became pals with Falwell.

Why do you think the press gives McCain a pass? Is it because of race? Read about it here:

SOMEONE HAS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SEAN HANNITY. FIND OUT ABOUT HIS MISTAKES. HE'S PROBROBLY SCARED TO DEATH TO TRY SOMETHING STUPID LIKE A SPITZER THING.

HE TRIES HIS DAMNDEST TO STAY AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE.

LET'S HAUNT HIM. AND, SINCE HE'S SUCH A SUPPORTER OF THIS WAR. WHY HASN'T HE COVERED ANY OF HIS WAR STORIES IN IRAQ? HAS HE EVER VISITED IRAQ?

I happened to switch on Hannity and Colmes tonight just to get my blood pressure up, and I saw one of the guests giving Sean Hannity a really hard time. He mentioned the name of Hal Turner to Sean Hannity and you could tell that Hannity got real uncomfortable with the mention of his name. I googled Hal Turner and was amazed at the articles written about him. He is a Nazi sympathizer nut case that Hannity embraced for many years. He was even a member of Pat Buchanans campaigns. I know I shouldn't but I sent one of the articles to every major news outlet. I am so angry at Hannity I can't stand it. I had to do something. Google it and see for yourselves.

Sue, I am so proud of you for taking the action that you did! I was planning to do the same thing as I am fed up with Sean Hannity. MSNBC reported Wednesday that Hannity posted an instigation of a death threat against Senator Obama, and he should be charged and arrested. Please let us know of anything else you find out about Sean Hannity. He is a racist criminal and FOX is NOT a legitimate news network.

Re: RUPERT MURDOCH | Report to Admin

If what I heard on MSNBC about HANNITY regarding the life of this great man Obama is true, then, I don't know why in the world you guys are watching this sicko's FOX channel. The OBAMA NATION should boycott FOX news and affiliated stations, internet medium. For God's sake, show your democratic muscles. For all the racism in America, I wish Mr. Obama runs for prime ministership here in Canada. Canadians would love to have him in a heart-beat. THANK GOD we don't have the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh - ignorants who are given a free medium to tear people apart. I wonder how they sleep at night (I am sure they don't sleep well).

Sean Hannity did the same (not as bad) to Huckabee, because he was in the way of his Mitt Romney, that he had wanted to win.Never had one bad thing to say about his prefect Mitt Romney. He ripped Huckabee apart with anything he could find. It was all over Huckabee's site to STOP watching Fox News,and what Sean Hannity was doing. How Hannity's radio show would never Huckabee supports threw to mack any comments. Now I know he is not a Mccain fan either, but he is now pushing for Romney to be his VP, so now he thinks he can do the same thing to Obama, and HRC will be an easier target to go up against.

Everytime I hear Sean Hannity go on his rants I want to jump through the radio and smack him upside his head. I always start to put together this elaborate email to counterpoint every argument he makes. I am baffled how people can follow him. In fact, I believe what he says on a daily basis is far worse than what Jeremiah Wright said on that one day. But I will say this good thing about Hannity and the likes of him. They turned me from an independent to a full democrat (with the help of GWB).

Re: RUPERT MURDOCH | Report to Admin

My President Obama supporters,

Please, please stop worrying about, CNN, "Pox" news, MSN, ABC, bogus pollsterS, pundits, Sean Hannity, Hillary Clinton, etc. Just keep your eyes on the prize. I've told you before God is in control of this movement. Can't you see how people around the world view President Obama - do you think that so may people could be wrong. We know a good thing when we see it.

Look at the Canadians, your next door neighbours and what they are saying about Obama.

I am from Jamaica and I am on your blog everyday. I have listened to you and have not turned on to CNN, "Pox" news, et al.

OBAMA is the next President of the USA. From Jamaica and the rest of the world, people are exercising more faith and hope that the American people will exercise the right judgment in sending Barack Obama to the White House and that is what the Americans will do in November because from where I sit HC does not stand a chance in securing the nomination.

Continue to exercise good judgment as being exercised by your candidate, Sen. Barack Obama and everything will be just fine. Here in Jamaica we are learing from him how to run a firt-class campaign not just for election purposes but for everything.

You guys are going to take Pennsylvania big time. Mark my words. Remember Texas & Ohio were the big firewalls; well,those have been burnt to the ground; it is the same way HC's firewall in Pennsylvania will be burnt to the ground. The people of Pennsylvania and the others states are not fools. Be vigilant at the precincts to ensure no Hanky Panky is taking place.

LOVE YA.

I always follow up Obama's speeches on you tube,CNN, msnbc and fox news but CNN and Fox news are unfair about obama and i no longer like to watch fox news because they act like not professionals and i wandor how America can allow such embesils to work on television. I like obama the way he has run his presidential campaign but i do not like how Hillary run her campaign without respect and diginity with those kitchen and sink strategy, only in her head there is 'les take back the white house' Instead of what she will do for Americans. I don't know how presidents in other countries will continue to treat their opposition parties in aproper way when Hillary is on power, i think they will use those kitchen and sink strategy to confuse in order to stay on power as long as they like. America is a political role model all over the world.Obama is the one who can bring change and real democracy.I always pray for him and God bless Obama for the America and the world.

Rumor has it that Sean wants to ask Senator Obama why after twenty years he never changed or healed Jeremiah Wright's "hate for the rich white man" since Barack Obama claims to be the one who can bring about real change.

Re: RUPERT MURDOCH | Report to Admin

By Jeremy (Hails from Maine) Mar 20th 2008 at 9:11 am EDT

I had nothing against Cooper until he interviewed Obama and then after the interview went on to question his credibility. Now I realize that Cooper is just another guy who wants controversy. Even if he has a personal problem with the comments, it is clearly not the job of a journalist to express an opinion so blatantly unless it is strictly labelled as op-ed. In fact, I am coming to the conclusion that all news stations have now become opinion editorials. Just take a look at "real clear politics". I go there on a frequent basis, but there is no such thing as investigative journalism anymore.

I agree, sometimes they seem okay to watch, really fire up some arguements, but they just don't seem to have any control on what some of them let fly off their lips... too much DJ or VJ time. I heard DeeDee(?) say that the meeting with the Canadian consolate happened in Canada, which I believed in was in Chicago. I heard O'Reilly claim, "Obama probably did not even write his own books, like I did mine!"... I so emailed him on that!! oH and I don't know how many others, but I have found emails to them do NO good, they won't change, what needs to change is our neighbors tuning into them!!

Since creating my.barackobama.com account, I have gotten more active in my community. After glancing at the Events section, I decided to host a Debate Watching party at a local lounge since there were none in my city. I joined groups like Jersey City for Obama and Hudson County for Obama, added friends (similar to MySpace) and invited them to the party. About 20 Obama supporters (and their friends and family who supported other candidates) from the area showed up. We exchanged our stories & contact numbers, shared food & drinks, watched the debate and had a great time discussing it afterwards. Later, when I went to a Results Watching party at Obama's Jersey City office, I saw one of the women from the debate get-together and ran into my grandfather's cousin. I met the mayor and signed up to volunteer. My.BO is a great site which brings together the community and helps to get an apathetic population interested in politics again.

Everyone,

PLS DO NOT CALL, WRITE OR EMAIL FAUX NEWS.

These are your options should you want to see real results:

Do not watch them=cannot count your household among their viewing audience.

Do not visit their website=cannot register the hit for internet advertising.

Use the only language they understand=not spending your hard earned money on products they advertise or with program sponsors.

PLS CALL AND EMAIL THEIR SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS INSTEAD.

Follow the money!

Sponsors forget that we have MANY choices available to us for just about any product. US CHOOSING not to purchase from them is a simple choice that can be made in a split second.

Either way, it amounts to money spent with the competition.

Let advertisers reflect on that!

The money will get them every single time.

The only thing that hannity want to do is destroy OBAMA Iwish with all my heart that sen. OBAMA turns this issue around in a possitive way. Fox should be using the airwaves to create more divisions and hate in this country. What I like about sen. OBAMA is that he doesn't run away from the problem and that the type of president that we need a person that could talk about race with out hurting anyone.I am hispanic and I ASK MY SELF THIS ? what if the white people were the ones that had to live under that same oppression for so many years. What if this had to happen to OBAMA so the country could move beyond race. Is SHAWN HANNITY affraid to have a black president?

It also is a good idea to let sponsors know that Mark Ferman from the OJ trial is a known racist who Fox News proudly have as a contributer to some of their shows. They want to play the quilty by association game.

Ishara,

I agree that we should not *watch* Fox news, we can find out through other legitimate sources what they're up to -

But the campaign has asked us to email Fox News so I just did. We can stuff their inbox and cause administrative work at the least, we've actually seen good results by doing this with CNN and other outlets.

I'm pretty sure it was the swift email blast from bloggers here that caused CNN to change tied counties on their electoral map to black, rather than count them for HRC(!!).

I personally believe that Fox news does us a great service - they wear out the damaging stories by playing them over and over until people no longer want to see them or care, they behave as if they are the sole possessers of right thinking in the universe and they stoop to levels not exceptable in real news journalistic circles. They lie and shout to drown out their own talkshow guests to make irresponsible points and they create stories from thin air with no care for who they damage.

To their own demise, they do all this with the intent of defeating the Democrats - but instead cause the Democrats to circle the wagons and reinforce their weakened battle lines.

They think they are changing people's minds, but they are only re-enforcing the ignorance and negativism held by people that wouldn't vote for a Democrat in the first place.

Fox is our ally, because in their idiotic attacks and hate mongering they strengthen our resolve and Barack's message of logic, honor and hope for change rings clearer.

I am totally disgusted with the way that Rev Wright is being treated by the media. His sermon, although delivered in a rather fiery tone, had some valid points. After 9/11, we could have examined our foreign policies and tried to figure out why certain people in the world hate us. It could have made a huge difference in how things turned out! For example, most Americans now believe that we should not have gone into Iraq. Well, going into Iraq is pretty much the opposite of what Rev Wright was advocating. I believe that Rev Wright wants Americans to take responsibility for our actions of the past, and to not assume that war is the answer for rooting out evil in the world. What is so wrong about this?

Told them more, it was a long letter but ended with "Please disregard this, and laugh it off as just another crackpot! That's your way of justifying what you do!" Well, it made me feel better!

Senator Obama has literally been invisible and blocked out without any favorable or positive appearances on all of the so called news channels. I've been boycotting them all since January. Think about it, when was the last time that appeared on any of the networks other than the debates ??? The only time that they will mention anything about him, it has been something negative. This campaign is getting them ratings also when people tune in. So when they throw in divisiveness don't tune in. Even the New York Times is changing it's tune. They were big supporters of HRC and now they are equally writing about BHO.

Explain your reasons in the very tone that Fox fails to use: respectful, courteous and accurate. Allow the advertisers to witness that Obama supporters are intelligent, complex and thoughtful.

Let them know that we are capable of uniting to reduce the effectiveness of their advertising budgets by failing to use their products and services. News not propoganda is our expectation!

It is just disgusting to know that Hillary and the media will do anything to get her elected.
But the urine, blood screen and background check was a good one. I'm sure that if the media glances at the HRC whitehouse papers they will find more than enough scandals to write about. I have noticed that everytime HRC or the media call Barack out front and center in order to downplay him, he is always lifted up. They haven't realized that they are the one's that are lifting him up in votes and we are lifting him up in spirit. That's why she is so far behind in delegates right now, worried about what we're doing over here in our campaign and not paying enough attention to her own. After he campaigns and stumps they always play the song "your love keep lifting me higher". They love Barack too, they just want HRC to win. So to the media and the HRC spys out there keep on lifting us because you'll never catch up.

Fellow Barack Supporters,

Our problem is that the so called leadership of the Democratic party are showing no courage and endangering all of us in the process. Shouldn't every Democratic leader and superdelegate be adopting and commiting to work on Barack's vision of achieving true racial reconciliation through realistic review, acceptance and movement forward with a focus on our joint interest as democrats no matter what race, religion, etc.

Their silence is deafening. Let's insist they speak up or warn them that they will bear the consequences.

To show how ridiculous their silence is, I just read an article through a link here saying Hillary is using the Rev. Wright matter to argue to them about Barack's unelectibility.

It is the job of the leadership of the Democratic party to make sure that cannot happen and there is no way they should even listen to such an argument. In fact, they should be exposing via tape recording every word Hillary or her supporters say remotely making this argument.

Remember Hillary's words to the press: You haven't vetted him. Well, all they came up with was 60 seconds of his Rev. words and loose allegations regarding Rezko. However, look at the timing and the use. Why now and only now...as she claims she has not written off the black vote.

Re: Ohh yea | Report to Admin

I agree with you 100%, Shelley. I've been writing respectful letters and e-mailing Dean (especially when he asks me for money), Pelosi, and various superdelegates for reconciliation of this farce. However, in this morning's local newspaper our regional volunteer leader for Obama (about 200 supporters in the group) was quoted as saying "the Obama campaign does not want people e-mailing superdelegates." Huh. Too late for me; oops. I think he's wrong but I've been trying to get an answer from busier-than-busy HQ before I confront the leader on the quote. It's possible the reporter misquoted and it's also possible he meant just our district's one and only superdelegate, Mike Thompson. Has anyone else heard this? I don't want to step on an organizer's toes.

By Cynthia Bartley of Portland, OR Mar 20th 2008 at 1:56 am EDT

There are some bad precedents that will come back to haunt the Republicans if they continue in encouraging the unlawful fixing of elections- they are undermining our country in a profound way.

If this is not dealt with- their primary system is far more vulnerable with winner take all early. It runs the potential of producing candidates on both sides who are not great leaders- let's all sabotoge each other and get the worst on the ballots????

We must somehow get through to McCain as he is far more reasonable than others to put an end to this- He was quick to denounce behavior called to his attention -he turned around and got back on stage angering a major supporter who has a lot of influence on voters.

I doubt McCain is able to keep up with all of this- so I would add appeals to McCain and patriotism- people died for the right to vote- and these people are trampling on it.

I understand ignorance about ethnic issues and racism in our society - but deliberately sabotoging our vote having meaning is about as unpatriotic as you get.

Based on these actions-McCain would not get a default non HRC vote. I will not vote for any candidate who so undermines our laws. We will win if it takes a write in, but I refuse any tampering with my right to vote.

For the same reason, I understand the superdelegates- they should not end HRC's campaign if enough legitimate voters want her to stay. Her negativity is her downfall and the demand for documents and lack of them is coming to light finally.

Obama ended up with an audience of people who usually do not hear his speeches because of the Wright controversy- Listen to the republicans who changed their vote to him after that speech or said they would not mind if their candidate lost and Obama wins. People in HRC country are talking about the greatness of Obama

Fox is desparate and on the run.

Its all about letting the electoral process involve us for once(which is why they should have dealt with Florida and Michigan long ago)

We need to stop these people from casting ballots for a candidate they do not want simply to rig the election- its illegal and we need an outcry- Ohio is reviewing this but its not major news

Per Sam's instructions, I sent an email to Fox News. Here it is:

Haven’t you had enough of the division in this country? Where is your character? You know, for people who claim to be patriots and claim to love America, you sure seem to enjoy tearing us down. We are begging you to get past this issue. We are begging you to help us rather than hinder us in our progression towards a better America. While you may have a favorite candidate, is it not possible to promote your own without tearing down another, and his race, and his beliefs, and his stance? I get it, ok. I get that, just like Reverend Wright, you have the “mike.” But, in the words of a famous American, “with great power, comes great responsibility.” Do the responsible thing and help create common sense dialogue rather than an ignorant war. Senator Obama, while imperfect, always manages to rise above gutter journalism. Can’t you?

Piggy Bank for Obama | Report to Admin

By Nzingha Stewart Mar 19th 2008 at 10:47 pm EDT

Set up an Obama piggy bank in your home and when friends/ fellow supporters come over ask them to make a donation (You can also do this when you have Obama events or group meetings). The donations to the Piggy Bank (mine is a coffee can) can be the kind that jingles or the kind that folds. And every time you get to $5+ put it in the bank and make a donation.

Most of Obama's donations have been less than $100 so these small amounts really help.

My democrat fiance would leave the room in disgust when I had Fox on- which was all the time. I soldiered on, we broke up, and Brian, ED, Sean, Bill, Greta, Greg, Shepard, etc. became my "family." I listened to Sean as much as I could though he asked for "four hours a day." I came to believe that I too was "a great American." Well sadly, the time has come to say goodbye.

By Linda from Houghton Lake, MI Mar 20th 2008 at 4:25 pm EDT

I'm new to the site, however, I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning.
I would just like to say, in my opinion, many people are backing Obama because he is fresh and speaks of the kind of change that everyone is so hungry for right now. A politician that is caring, honest, intelligent, powerful, wants to bring the people and their government back together and is willing to work in transparency. Wow! Now, however, we are hearing that he isn't so perfect and that he has lied to the people, worse than that, he doesn't like white people or America!
He can't possibly unite people when he is so full of hate, nor will he be honest with all of these lies coming to the surface.
I would urge Obama to come clean with anything else that may be out there that Clintons people may dig up. Any little thing. Continue to speak from the heart and be truthful regarding the reason he stayed with a Reverend that was so full of passion regarding the issues he spoke of. I am hearing people say they are very dissapointed in him for deceiving the people who put so much trust in him. And now they find out what his church, that he has belonged to for 20 years, actually stands for. Educate the people Obama, let them hear you explain what your church stands for, show some uplifting clips from service, apoligize for any hurt this may have caused the people, be honest no matter what it may cost, ( I see Obama supporters falling by the wayside now, if they could see the person who they were behind come back so would they) We need something just as big to bring us back as we had that took us down. He, once again, has to show that he is not like everyone else who is running and he will create a government of change and transparency. Uniting the people, in this country and out, like only he can do.

I pray that he will find a way to redeem himself with the people because this country needs him, we need him.

My letter to Fox:

Greetings!

I am writing in response to the story found here. I have to tell you, I find this kind of news repugnant.

Just as with the Reverend Wright story, you focus on a small, sensational aspect, inflating its importance to make it 'newsworthy', yet completely miss the big picture.

Anyone could have created and posted that endorsement you put in the news, from an actual member of the Black Panther Party, to one of Hillary Clinton or John McCain's supporters hoping to damage Sen. Obama's chances for the presidency, to even someone at Fox News trying to stoke the fires of the ratings furnace. Believe it or not, that's the beauty of the Obama campaign website.

Try as you might, you won't be able to find any similarly sensational content on Hillary Clinton's website. That's because her forums are HEAVILY moderated; no
undesirable content has a chance to be posted, let alone be put on the news. On the Clinton website, there is no dissent, no debate; Only good things about Hillary, and only negative things about her opponents, if anything at all.

BarackObama.com is a place where anyone can post their ideas, and come together to share information. I've even seen some Clinton supporters posting comments, questions, and engaging in (usually!) civil debates with the resident posters there.

The freedom on the Obama forums reflects one of the key messages of the campaign and the Movement that has propelled it ahead of the Clinton machine: Respect, Empower, Include. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you should be reporting on.

Many thanks for your consideration,

Dont get distracted. Fox is intellectually bankrupt. Their American Taliban right wing supporters cant bankrupt America fast enough.

As with any feeble and infirm being that is under attack from the harsh reality of a world of reality they scream more from fear rather than logic.

All of us need to ask every (conservative) just exactly what it is they are conserving.

It isnt our civil rights.

It isnt the security of our borders and our nation.

It isnt our jobs or our financial future.

It isnt the promise of equal opportunity.

It isnt our credibility in the eyes of the world.

And, its isnt our soverignty as we mortgage our country but ever increasing debt such democratic nations as China.

Fox defined is nothing more that a myopic spin rag with no intellectual integrity.

Conservatives defined. A group of misguided, myopic, fixated but still not violent equivalent of the Taliban.

At this point, I am assuming that everything originates with Team Clinton and is voiced at Fox. Kind of ironic that fox is now her mouthpiece. I'm starting to believe she actually is more conservative than McCain. I think Fox is too. Murdoch has already hosted fundraisers for her in the past. I guess Clinton believes the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

She apparently still thinks she can steal this election. But you can't steal a movement owned by more than a million people. God Bless Barack. God Bless America.

BE HEALTHY!
First thing's first. Fox is NOT a news channel. They use the word "news" to validate their content, to suggest a respectability they don't have. SO, a great start? Let's all start framing them for what they are. Refer to them as the "Fox entertainment channel" or "Fox variety channel". They take wholesale propaganda, add heaps of provocative theater, and throw in a smattering of news to legitimize calling their poisonous pablum news. You know how total sugar beverages throw in some vitamin C, or say 8% fruit juice, so they can suggest it's good for you? Well, Fox throws in 8% news, so they can suggest all their unhealthy crap is news. Let's be smart, and try to NEVER connect the words "Fox" and "news" together.

And get it. O'reilly KNOWS he's a bastard. It's all for show. He gets in peoples faces, and tears people apart, because being provocative that way gets people to WATCH. Sure, these are weak, lost, shallow, angry viewers with a LONG road of growing and healing ahead of them. But sickly, that's his nitche. It's very sad, but that's how he got RICH. He sold his soul, manipulating peoples lostness and otherwise worst traits, for cash, and he doesn't care.

Don't get angry. Don't get sucked in. Don't let it get the best of you. There's a wise quote: Choose your enemies very carefully, because that's what you'll become. Don't be a wall. Let their BS pass through you, like wind. Dismissively call them madness incarnate, angry comedy, psychotic theater, and go about your good healthy business.
Love & All Good Things,
Greg

Everybody,

Let's use this as an opportunity. In weeks just before Ohio and Texas I saw Fox News adopt the Rush Limbaugh strategy when the Clintonistas started to play the race card heavy.

No one here is realizing that this happened when Hillary had the Mexican activist Adelfa Callejo go on TV to assert how Blacks use Browns to fulfill "their goals" and Barack's problem is that he is black. Ever since Hillary has been making this argument to the superdelegates and Foxnews has been helping because it is easier to destroy Barack with a racist attack from here beccause their own attack would not have much credibility.

Tie this all to Clinton. Spread the word and draw the comparisons.

While we're at it question Clinton's contant showing of a complete lack of integrity and honor.

Clinton engaged in a con jog with FL and MI with everyone and is now executing the back up plan she always had. Every politician knows that simple name recognition is more than half the game so by staying on the ballot while getting everyone to agree not to campaign Hillary was using a set up.

She needs to be called out and refused. Why should MI and FL get to have a reward for replacing IOWA and New Hampshire when, as a matter of honor, the party and its members AND ALL ITS OTHER STATES stuck to their commitment to IOWA and New Hampshire. I mean, truly, the gall of Butter fly Ballot Fl is unbelieveable.

Let the people of all the other states rather than the party, pundits or candidates be outraged by this bull.

I don't believe that Barack understood just how dirty the Clintons play. He was hoping for a clean and fair election and they have never been involved in such a thing. Too bad he did not research all of the campaign's they have been in over the years, he then would have had a heads up.
I believe the Clintons are behind every single negative news report that has come out, and it is very helpful when you have half of the news stations in your pocket.
Regarding the Fl and Mi primary's. It wasn't fair the first time and it would not be a fair vote the second time. I live in Michigan and know that alot of people voted for McCain or not at all since Hillary was the only democrat on the ballot. If they let us vote again, those people will not be allowed to vote, how can that be considered fair by anyone's standards?
I also have written the news, press and governor regarding this issue, to date, no response from anyone.

I would like to expers my self a bit !

Why can`t we just say no to the radio ant TV ?

let`s put it this way. i use to listen to the conservative talk shows, and i consider my self a republican conservative. i am a bush fan and support the war in iraq. BUT i am for obama for the president of the U.S. (i will explain why som other time). therefore when they started to hurt my feelings about barak Obama, i just turned off the radio. i belive i am not the onle disappointed listner.

so why shouldn`t WE learn to say noooo noooo noooo to the radio ant TV when the hurt our feelings.

by the way i like rev. Wright`s contrevertial speeches, noting wrong compared to the right wing talk shows. my opinion

Hi my name is Roger, I just donated $10.00 for Barack. I know it isn't much but I give as much as possible.

I am 54 years old and I am disabled. So as I am on a fixed income my resources are limited.

I was born with cerebral palsy so I am concerned about Social Security. I trust Barack he is a good man. I only feel this about him and not the other candidates,

It pains me to see the attacks against him. But I expect that as Barrack will truly make a difference. People of power are fearfulo of change and they fear the grassroot movent. The people of America speaking truth to power and barack is our conduit.

I challenge all you to match my $10 donation if you can and Gob Bless you all.

Thank you for sharing your story Roger. It's very touching.

My nephew has cerebral palsy and he had to have a kidney transplant. He is 12. I worry about his health care every day. His parents have a good plan but it is very costly. His many prescriptions are also very expensive. I believe that Obama will work to lower the cost of health care so that families don't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills.

You have inspired me to donate again today.

Roger ,

I am on disability fixed income. I am a 51 year old white guy that thinks Barack Obama is exactly what this country needs at this point in our history. I have only donated a total of $55 to this campaign , but as you know , in my world ,thats allot of money.

I will be donating a little out of each check , all the way to the White House.

I can really do the phone banking because , i am also hard of hearing.

But i have took part in a couple sign waving events here in Eugene Oregon , and plan on doing more of that.

I also talk to everyone in my life about politics for the first time in my life.

The "moment" for me was when i asked my 73 year old "Republican Sister" if she had been watching the primary's. TEARS rolled down her face as she said........For the second time in my life , i get to cast my vote for a great American , i will PROUDLY cast my vote for Barack Obama.The only other time in her life she voted Democrat was for JFK.

My next mile stone is this Friday night in my home town ( Eugene Oregon ) Barack Obama will be doing a rally here. I will be in that line hours before the doors open.

I believe in Barack and i believe in you.

Hi Reneea,

What a group of fine people you are. I'll tell you a story. I went through leadership training 3 times in my life and Barrack is the real deal. He has that intangible quality that only true born leaders have. To connect to people honestly and openly to bare his soul without reservation. I thank you for joining with me.

Hi James,

Being on disability is the bunk but we are lucky and both have good outlooks and taste in our candidates.

I was 10 years old when JFK was taken from us. I remember they closed the schools and I walked home. My Dad was watching the TV and had his webcor recorder on. JFK and RFK were my heroes.

I am a great fan of the 100 best American speeches. Great Americans like FDR,RFK,JFK,Barbara Jordan,MLK and others. And you know what?? Barack will be there with them also.

Have a great time at the rally. I hope Barrack visits Reno. I would not pass up a opportunity to see him for the world. Take care James and good health and a happy life to you.

I don't want to disrespect any of our supporters, young or old. But sometimes the younger supporters get a little over-zealous and will say anything. During the last sweep, the news spotlighted our blog network and I knew then that we were being watched by the media and asked people to watch what was said. Of course, noone listened and just continued on. Young people, please be mindful of what you say on this blog. In an attempt to defend our guy, we can be inadvertantly hurting him.

Fear and Loathing at Fox News Network | Report to Admin

My response to fear mongers as emailed to Fox News:

What I simply don't understand is that you continually claim to have "fair and balanced" reporting on your programs. O'Rielly states that the "spin stops here". It is simply appalling. Whether its Reverend Wright comments or messages from this blog, what you do is pick snippets, ones that you can spin to suit your hatred and fear mongering and harp on them over and over and over again. If you were to take the 20 years of sermons of Reverend Wright or the hundreds of thousands of positive blogs on this site, and fairly represent both sides of these stories I might be able to be open minded to your position. Obviously you will never do this, it would wash away your cause with the truth. You are the most twisted, biased "news" channel there is. Don't think I need to understand, or that I am misinformed. I am a proud American. I love this country and it is precisely why I, along with millions of other educated and clear-minded people, are going to take this country back from people just like you. It is why I clearly understand am in no way dillusional about why you are so resistant to this to candidate and to all of us. Why I need no more information about the fact that if the truth and integrity won't help you and people like you maintain your grip on your power, you will resort to deciet and lies and spin that is resonant of lynching. Here is your fatal mistake, you underestimate the power of a people so disregarded by your beloved administration, that together, one voice at a time, across this nation, we will have our country back and there is nothing your fear can do to undermine the mision of a people powered by hope.

Re: Ohh yea | Report to Admin

By Brandi Mar 19th 2008 at 11:51 pm EDT

Actually there are only about 14 people allowed to post over on the HRC site, so "1st" isn't much of prize. While there are risks to being an open blog where we invite all people and all but profane to blog here, it also allows for dialgue, venting, lifting up, advice resources and yes, our own voices an opportunity to respond to those who contintue to perpetuate hate and fear and resistance to the power of what is happening. I always aim to respond in a way that includes integrity and attempt to pause and remind myself my underlying desire is to perpetuate this campaign, which means that I must even in my sadness and anger, call on the better part of me in my response. My email to Fox News comes from an unwillingness to surrender to fear. I also know that certain ears will never hear what I have to say because they were never open to listening. Eventually, what speaks louder than words, is a win in November.

Barack Obama delivered a speech unlike those given by other politicians in recent times and with it transcended the questions raised against him. He has challenged us, the American people, to rise above the discord of racial prejudice and division and to begin the dialogue that will one day lead to a truly unified people.

Moreover, Barack Obama once again instilled in us the desire to Hope, but also to recognize that this is more than a movement of hope.

This is a movement of understanding, an understanding that a better America, the America of our dreams, can only be achieved through the application of ethical and moral conduct, through the acceptance of our diversity and a willingness to use that diversity for the improvement of us all.

Holy Thursday | Report to Admin

By Carol G Mar 20th 2008 at 9:53 am EDT

Many people are asking why Obama kept going back to his church to hear his pastor rev. Wright.

Well, we can also ask why people keep going back to Faux Nasty News to listen to them.

Why?

Maybe we think that most of the time the stories they tell are good. We don't always agree with them but we still go back to watch TV instead of getting ride of the TV.

Today is Holy Thursda. Today, Catholics all over the world celebrate the day that the Jewish leaders arrested Jesus for a crime that he never committed.

Today is the day that the Jewish leaders had him on trial and planted false evidents against him. They said that Jesus said that he can rebuild the temple in 3 days and by saying that he has blasphemed and the punishment is dead!

Bottom line, they wanted him dead! And on Good Friday, we celebrate the fact that they got what they wanted.... permission to crucify Jesus. They said that his blood be on them and their generation.

But did killing Jesus end there? No, because in dead HE was born again. 3 days later on Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead and became stronger than ever.

Today I am seeing condemnation for Obama and those people who does the condemnation are like the Jewish leaders because they are on TV and the nation listens to them. They are out for blood.

What happen next will tell us if they are successful in what they want to do. Will the wolf in sheeps clothing be able to lead the American people (sheeps)down the wrong path? We will soon find out.

But, no matter what happens, Obama have shown the way that politics should be done in future. He will always be seen as the man who open the eyes of America. The man who took a stand for his own principle.

Jesus said that when you fast do not show that you are fasting because then you will have had your reward on earth.

When I read that, I remember all those "Americans" who think that Obama to should wear a American flag on his lapel to show everybody that he is patriotic. I am a strong believer in Action and I believe that he has SHOWN his patriotism unlike those who just wear an American flag lapel pin.

Continue to take the high road Obama! What I like about Barack is that win or lose he continues to act with dignity and grace. He doesn't want to be president at all costs. Hannity, OReilly, and the rest of the dirty mudslingers at Fox are just showing themselves for who they really are: evil men with evil minds who pretend to be pious and righteous but really only see themselves as the center of the universe. Yesterday, I saw the look of fear in the eyes of OReilly as he talked to his atheist smart-mouth, buddy Dennis Miller...I could see in OReilly's expression that he disagreed with everything Miller had to say about the futility of christianity and religion in general, but bit his toungue instead of standing up for his fellow christians and I will never forget his cowardice.

Re: Ohh yea | Report to Admin

BE HEALTHY!
First thing's first. Fox is NOT a news channel. They use the word "news" to validate their content, to suggest a respectability they don't have. SO, a great start? Let's all start framing them for what they are. Refer to them as the "Fox entertainment channel", "Fox follies" or "Fox variety channel". They take wholesale propaganda, add heaps of provocative theater, and throw in a smattering of news to legitimize calling their poisonous pablum news. You know how total sugar beverages throw in some vitamin C, or say 8% fruit juice, so they can suggest it's good for you? Well, Fox throws in 8% news, so they can suggest all their unhealthy crap is news. Let's be smart, and try to NEVER connect the words "Fox" and "news" together.

And get it. O'reilly KNOWS he's a bastard. It's all for show. He gets in peoples faces, and tears people apart, because being provocative that way gets people to WATCH. Sure, these are weak, lost, shallow, angry viewers with a LONG road of growing and healing ahead of them. But sickly, that's his nitche. It's very sad, but that's how he got RICH. He sold his soul, manipulating peoples lostness and otherwise worst traits, for cash, and he doesn't care. Watching Fox is like eating Spam, it's really pungent and the first few bites can be interesting, but you always wind up feeling kinda sickish, saying "why did I get this?".

Don't get angry. Don't get sucked in. Don't let it get the best of you. There's a wise quote: Choose your enemies very carefully, because that's what you'll become. Don't be a wall. Let their BS pass through you, like wind. Dismissively call them madness incarnate, angry comedy, psychotic theater, and go about your good healthy business.
Love & All Good Things,

It is a commonly held belief that we only REACT to things that are within us. This is the meaning behind the phrase “he who doth protest..”. Thus, when I hear self righteous ranting and indignation, on matter what side of the issue it is protesting, I wonder is this another Elliot Spitzer fighting his own demons? Fundamentalism comes in many forms (Islamic, Christian, Nationalism, Patriotism, Terrorism), and they are all dangerous and blind. Life has taught me to listen to the moderate, calm voice for the truth always lies somewhere in between. I have come to realize that how people react says more about them than it does about that to which they are reacting. “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are”, author unknown.

If Fox news really wanted to do its job, it would be out there trying to find out who tried to blow up the military recruiting station at Times Square....you remember, 3:00 a.m. and this guy riding a bike drops a bag in a dumpster and the dumpster which happens to be in front of a miitary recruitment center blows up.

The problem with the entire episode was that Congressional personnel reported that a note had been received from the "terrorists" claiming responsibility for the bombing, only the note was received prior to the actual event. This prompted the Bush administration to say that the note describing the bombing had nothing to do with the actual bombing and that the contents of the note were coincidential. Please I have heard of contrived incidents but this was ridiculous. I am really tired of being manipulated by the Bush administration, Hillary Cllinton with her fake "take over of her New Hampishire campaign office", and many others. Fox reported all of them as fact!

This, at the end, made me feel much better:

"Finally, Mrs. Clinton’s aides hope that disclosures about Mr. Obama’s past like the one involving Mr. Wright could give superdelegates’ pause. Mr. Devine said he thought that at least in terms of Democratic primary voters Mr. Obama had turned the furor to his advantage with his speech on race.

“Obama, confronted by an issue that was boiling, seemed to wade into it with a speech that was in many ways profound,” Mr. Devine said. “As a result, now these people who were so interested and awakened by his candidacy are back with him again. Instead of this being a setback, it becomes an opportunity.”

Also Le Monde has an english version online--though the French sounds better even when the news is bad-- and the pink paper or Financial Times of London has excellent international coverage. In fact they ran many stories in the lead up to the Iraq war which countered the false claims of the Bush administration.

How easy it was to change the perception of what news is and how we define it. I have found it difficult to find an hours worth of news reporting on any of the three cable news networks that is without commentary and opinion. Are we even aware that this is not straight reporting of the news? Do Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity or Joe Scarborough constitute journalists? Would we assign the "Today Show" as news?

If today's "News Networks" want to continue to call themselves as such, then I urge them to report the news, not comment on news as they see it. If they want to change their branding to truthfully represent what they are, as "Opinion" Networks from various left, right, conservative, liberal constituencies, now that would be real straight news indeed.

No, they make up lies and then report them. Remember how we were supposed to be scared that he was a Muslim? And now we're supposed to be scared that he's a Black Liberation Theology Christian? (Well, they certainly don't bother to use that term.) My white working class uncle (who hasn't voted since Reagan, mind you, and is now voting for Obama) identified the attacks best. Up until a few weeks ago, they were smearing him as a Muslim. In a matter of weeks, they switched to radical Christian. (Although Hannity has been pushing both the Muslim and radical Christian narratives at the same time. I guess that's what they call Fair and Balanced.)

Schedules Show Clinton Meetings With Felons

By RUSSELL BERMAN
Staff Reporter of the Sun
March 19, 2008 updated 8:31 pm EDT

WASHINGTON — The release of more than 11,000 pages of schedules from Senator Clinton's time in the White House offer a limited window into her day-to-day activities as first lady, showing that she met not only with world leaders but also with convicted felons who helped her raise cash for her 2000 Senate run.

...

fund-raising schedule Mrs. Clinton kept during her run for Senate in 2000, including several private functions hosted by donors with criminal records at the time or who have since been convicted of felonies. On June 9, 2000, she attended a fund-raiser at the glitzy Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills hosted by Aaron Tonken, who was sentenced in 2004 to five years in prison for mail and wire fraud. Later that same day, the schedules show, Mrs. Clinton attended a fund-raiser at a private California residence where she was introduced by Peter Paul, a Hollywood businessman who was convicted in the 1980s of cocaine possession and of trying to extort $8.7 million from the Cuban government. The Clinton campaign returned a $2,000 check from Paul two months later after initially denying that he had contributed to her campaign.

The schedules also show two appearances Mrs. Clinton made in the fall of 2000 with Denise Rich, the wife of the financier Marc Rich, who received one of Mr. Clinton's most widely-criticized last-minute pardons. Rich had been hiding in Switzerland after being charged with 51 counts of tax fraud, and his wife was a major donor to the Clintons.

...

Senator Obama's campaign seized on a meeting Mrs. Clinton attended in 1993 on NAFTA, an agreement she has criticized during the campaign.

...

The records were released following requests by reporters under the Freedom of Information Act and a lawsuit by the conservative group, Judicial Watch.

"The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

After his initial requests for change, the black man rambled nonstop on a variety of unrelated topics, calling for affordable health care, demanding that the government immediately begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, and proposing a $75 billion economic stimulus plan to create new jobs.

This is an indication of how scared the right wing is of this campaign. They are doing anything to divide this party and this campaign. They have "trolls" all over the place, not just on our blog but all over the internet spewing hate. It is meant to make us disgusted, frustrated and just stay home.

They have way too many weeks and no elections in which to make mischief.

Take a breath and keep moving forward. They all heard the speech yesterday and they know how powerful it was...how it moved so many people and if they don't act now, they can't get America back on their agenda of fear. So this is their all our assault.

Don't fret folks. Just keep pushing forward.

I just e-mailed Proctor & Gamble:

"As you advertise on FOX NEWS I will no longer buy Proctor & Gamble Products. They are worse than any tabloid as they advertise themselves as a news outlet with "fair and balanced coverage" when their only goal is to be divisive and to spread lies and hate. They have gone too far in their attacks on Senator Obama and I no longer wish to give my hard earned money to a company that supports this sort of garbage."

Although it would be great to boycott and e-mail all of them I think we should focus on one in particular. P & G is a great one since it shows up immediately in sales. We can all remember the name. We all probably use their products. It would also be impressive if we ALL sent any unfinished product we had back to them.

Does anyone have the contact information of the sponsors. We can take our case to the newspapers, that have sponsored Barack Obama to get the word out.

But I am not good at writing complaint letters and I have read some very good letters on this blog. Can someone create a template letter addressed to the FCC, so we can ALL use it and flood the FCC on Friday? AND send a new email to FCC each and everytime FOX makes inflammatory statements and untrue reporting against our candidate. Or you can go the FCC website and file Form 475B. I think our complaints would receive a faster response by emailing the Commissioners, continuously. What do you think? We have to come together to get this done. Can someone create a letter template ASAP?

DirecTV.... | Report to Admin

Re: Email / Who owns Direct TV | Report to Admin

By Wendy Wilson Mar 19th 2008 at 10:30 pm EDT

Found this from 2007 on who owns Direct TV:

As we've discussed at length, Rupert Murdoch was frustrated by his inability to use the DirecTV brand name to get into the broadband business -- so, after dubbing it a "turd bird," he began working on a deal that would trade the DBS provider to Liberty Media.

That deal was made official today, and Liberty ponied up its 16.3% stake in News Corp for a 38.4% stake in DirecTV, three regional sports networks (FSN Northwest, FSN Pittsburgh and FSN Rocky Mountain) and $550 million in cash. Liberty Media has hinted they'll try to offer broadband via DirecTV -- though it's not clear what they'll attempt that hasn't already been tried.

So, I'm not sure if Murdoch owns DirectTV or Liberty Media.

This is the EXACT THING John Edwards spoke out against. Having three or four BIG corporations owning newspapers, radio and TV is VERY, VERY DANGEROUS for our country.

We should be contacting our Congressional respresenatives and demand the breakup of these monopolies.

My Obama Friends

This is the narrative I wrote to frame the video of Barack's historic Philadelphia address on my personal website which supports Barack - Link
------------------------------ -

The Pennsylvania Pronouncement

Today in Pennsylvania, Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama stared down the ogre of racism and won. His address in Pennsylvania will surely rank among the great political addresses in American history.

His, were not mere words. They demonstrated his complete understanding of America’s ills. Including the causes and effects of racial, economic, social and civic issues and the country’s ability and capacity to recover as the world’s best example of a fine living democracy. For the entire world, the energy and enterprise of ”Only in America” has been locked away for far too long.

The election of a President Obama is the first of many changes Americans must make to help themselves to recover, to build a bright and better future. If a country is the sum of its people, regardless of age, race, colour, ethnicity, creed or religion. Then the American people are that country.

It is their America! An America which must be ready to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Today in Pennsylvania, one man placed his arms around his beloved land, and said without need of words and in all humility. ”Follow me. This is the way!”

Thank you for posting this Sam.

Just as a general comment on Main Stream Media and their agenda: money.

It is sad that the media has been so compromised by bottom line profits that they cannot report "truths" anymore but resort to distortions, exaggerations and more.

I am not personally a proponent of the Clinton or McCain campaigns but remember that the media cuts all ways and that here, on Obama's site, it is in everyone's best interest to rise above the same tactics that we all deplore that the media perpetuates.

It is acceptable to report on the truths, facts that anyone can interpret in a way that best fits their moral compasses.

I am tired of the Main Stream Media. Tired of all the spinning. Tired of all the lies.

Obama rose above this yesterday in his speech. One that moved not only me but many of my coworkers up North.

We are all waiting and hoping for the result that we know will be best for all of us in the world.

Silly season...it continues to be silly season in politics. All Clinton, all the time on kiss-a$$ CNN. And Fox...well, its too bad Fox isn't interested in the fact we're at war and on the brink of a recession. No, that would be covering REAL issues. Oh yeah...problems created by the Republican President. Now, I know why they've got to look for distractions from the real news issues!

I am tired of not only Fix News, but of McCain getting a pass from the media. Both democratic candidates have been on the campaign trail, making speeches, answering tough questions, giving their positions on policies, and yet where's McCain? Oh, yeah, he's overseas laughing it up with Lieberman.

He has not laid out ANY of his plans for the USA. He has not been asked ANY tough questions. The media are giving him a pass. So, what that he's the nominee, he needs to start telling the American people what he intends to do for this country.

As much as I cannot stand Hillary, she and Barack both have been tirelessly working their butts off trying to get elected while McCain goes off overseas without ever going into FULL DETAILS about his intentions for the country. He needs to be vetted!

John McCain continues to put his foot in his mouth, 'mis-speaking' about vital world situations (such as the relationship between Iran and some Iraqi extremists, referring to them incorrectly as Al-Qaeda). He then becomes snippy when called out on his gaffes and says it is 'ridiculous' that anyone should think he might be confused.

I can not believe that you post such inflammatory and outrageous items on your website and profess to call them “news”. I have wondered this for many years, but today, you have indeed outdone yourselves.

I am referring to the Barack Obama story (it is a “story”, as in “fiction”) that the New Black Panther party supports him and had created a user profile on his website. Any person with internet access and an ill conceived notion could make a profile on this open website and call it anything they want to. Like…say for instance…”Fox News loves and supports Obama”.

For all we know, perhaps a person on your staff created the New Black Panther Party group, took a screen shot and posted the item as “news”. In fact, that scenario seems quite likely. Given what we know about how you report your obviously biased version of the “news”.

Shame on you.

Who owns Fox News | Report to Admin

By Wendy Wilson Mar 19th 2008 at 9:59 pm EDT

Some history:

News Corporation was created in 1980 by Rupert Murdoch as a holding company for News Limited.

In 1985 News Corp announced it was buying the Metromedia group of stations, setting the stage for the launch of a fourth U.S. broadcast network. On September 4, 1985, Murdoch became a naturalized citizen to satisfy the legal requirement that only United States citizens could own American television stations. In 1986, the Metromedia deal closed, and the Fox Broadcasting Company was launched. This network, known on-screen as "Fox", can now be picked up in over 96% of U.S. households.

In the US he has been a long-time supporter of the Republican Party and was a friend of Ronald Reagan. Regarding Pat Robertson's 1988 presidential bid, he said, "He's right on all the issues." Many Christian conservatives were dismayed when Robertson sold his television network to Murdoch. Murdoch's papers strongly supported George W. Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.[citation needed]

Murdoch's publications worldwide tend to adopt conservative views. During the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, all 175 Murdoch-owned newspapers worldwide editorialized in favor of the war.[18] Murdoch also served on the board of directors of the libertarian Cato Institute. News Corp-owned Fox News is often criticized for a strong conservative and anti-liberal bias.

On May 8, 2006, the Financial Times[3] reported that Murdoch would be hosting a fundraiser for Senator Hillary Clinton's (D-New York) Senate reelection campaign. Murdoch's New York Post newspaper opposed Clinton's Senate run in 2000.

The company's (News Corp, who owns Fox News) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is Rupert Murdoch and the President and Chief Operating Officer is Peter Chernin.

News Corporation's headquarters is at 1211 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Ave.), in New York City. Inventor relations phone number: 877-277-9781

What is being said about Obama is NOT TRUE and is designed to create racial division. That should be an easy fight for Democrats to handle.

Why are they not calling everyone who has ever supported Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, etc. to leave their churches? This makes NO sense to me whatsoever.

Re: And CNN Too | Report to Admin

By das2109 Mar 19th 2008 at 10:15 pm EDT

My problem with talk that BO should have left the church is that many of those commentators are hypocritical in that, when the shoe is on the other foot there was no insistence for others to abandon their churches/denominations. Religious history will show that there have been numerous occasions where men have failed their calling, and while we may condemn to the strongest degree their statements and actions, going so far as to abandon our faith and religious homes is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There have been times when men have physically harmed others by their actions and not just their speech, reflect on the disgrace brought upon the Catholic church by some of our priests, and not once did anyone suggest that I should abandon the church because of the actions of a few - not that I would have anyway! Let's move on!!

Re: And CNN Too | Report to Admin

It will be very unfair to judge him by 2 mins soundbites.

All pastors of all races and denominations had made controversial statements before. These include: Billy Graham, John Hagee, etc. This apart, for someone who believes in God and the gospel of Christ, there should be no need to worry.

Many people are ignorant of the scripture. According to Matthew 10:34-35, Jesus said I come not to bring peace into the earth but sword. I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother ...... So for someone to come to you and quote that from the scripture as the basis of christianity is tantamount to apostasy. It is necessary to view messages in line with the mood of the sermon.

Many prophets have cursed Israel for her sins, even the Kings do curse themselves to seek the face of God. Even Jesus cursed the rich and many other people but quoting him out of context is distortion of his words. Thus, as a christian, one should not be dismayed or perturbed.

And, given that we are talking about 90 secnds over 30 years, why is it so difficult to imagine that these things may not have been said when the Obama's were in attendance.

I also seem to recall some "religious right" guys who said that 9/11 was God's judgement on America and it is apparently ok to be endorsed by and associated with these guys.

By SaSa ♥ NorCal vote RUE FURCH in the Fall! ♥ Mar 19th 2008 at 10:05 pm EDT

I want to take a moment and say a few things about the New Black Panther Party that make the Faux News story all the funnier.

Sit back, relax, and let me educate y'all for a moment here.

Once upon a time there was a party called the Black Panthers. They were a branch of the Malcolm X era of Civil Rights African American movement, and while some were running around like fools, many went on to work for the good of their community.

In short, a lot of them chilled way out.

I know because in the North Bay Activism circuit, especially working around racism issues -- as I do with Latino groups -- the former Panthers (who are mainly 60-70 years old now) will come out and help. These people are not in any way violent.

Last year I had the pleasure of receiving a special commendation from a former Panther for some local organization. He stood at the podium sandwiched between a guy from the U.S. Department of Justice and a Quaker, ok. Not very radical, but we need justice in this county. Things have become dire with complex issues surrounding law enforcement, lack of transparency in Government, and racially tense officer-involved fatalities. We had the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights out here a decade ago for this matter. It's very serious.

We rallied, we marched, we met everyone we could. There was a sense of deep communion. Families of the dead gave me black satin roses. We wept together with Baptist reverends. We got media coverage, who dismissed us as "radicals," although we were doctors, lawyers, students, immigrants, working poor, people in wheelchairs, and yes, a few former Black Panthers, a few questionable characters. It's hard to RSVP only a march, rally, or open mic.

The NEW BLACK PANTHERS have been sued by the Black Panthers for appropriating their name. They've plagiarized. They're punks. Many radicals don't even like them. They're not interested in bettering the community, to my knowledge. I've never seen them come feed the homeless here. I don't like them hooking into my friends any more than I like when the RCP (something communist party) decided to endorse OUR event without our knowledge.

Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Aside from the fact that anyone can make a fake profile here... I'm also saying that...

You have to know NOTHING about these groups to understand the absolute disdain they hold for ANY presidential nominee, even my beloved Barack Obama.

And the fact that they'd be more offended by such endorsement smears than Barack would be, I'd wager.

Please do not take this in the wrong way, but I have to get this off of my chest.

May I suggest that maybe you don't know as much as you think you do.
Is it possible that members of the NBPP are citizens of the United States, that have jobs and oh guess what, also pay taxes, and maybe just maybe some of them may even have a voter registration card? Maybe as individuals they also see the same hope in Barack Obama as you do. Just maybe...

We are so quick to demonized people without even knowing anything about them. Until you attend one of there meetings I suggest you really don't know what they are about.

This is not the place to debate any groups politics, that is better served with their members on their site.

But this same rush to judgment has demonized a man of God in the last week. A man that none of us know personally. Only Barack does, and we didn't even trust his judgment. Did anyone even bothered to get the full tape, do any research. Or did we just condemn the man based on the reports from the same so called news channel that you are now furious with. (I believe Faux was first and the others immediately followed, after all they can not be outdone.)

I can not say that I know anything about Rev. Wright but what I do know is that he was the pastor of a church for over 30 years. To me this qualifies him as a man of God, and only God can judge him.

Really people, the MSM will not be satisfied until Barack has rejected and denounced every single person in America that has or will vote for him.

BTW most so called militants wouldn't be militants if they had a government in which they trusted.

Let Obama be the start of that trust.

Do you know any NBBP people, Gena?

Of course I realize they're human, but like other folks I know who are hardline anarchists, I don't want to go that route and find this all absurd.

All of the anarchists I know do not vote. Yes, I know Anarchists. Many. Because for a summer I volunteered in an anarcho-infospace. Anarchists do not believe in voting. While technically NBBP/post-NOI folks are more Socialist, they're anti-capitalist and I've never known any hardline anticapitalists who voted, period.

I'm a black sheep in my boyfriend's social group because I'm just a political jumble (I do vote sometimes, local elections and concerns mainly). Supposedly I'm a "true democrat," whatever that means. I was attracted to Barack because he is amazing and if you read my blog, he is the first person I ever felt I trusted enough to hand authority to over my well-being. I believe in his character and him. He moves me in a way that usually only poets can.

I won't get into my personal history any further, but yes, I do know what I'm talking about, and if you'd like to chat further, you can add me as a friend and we can certainly discuss matters.

Sorry you misunderstood my position. I wasn't attempting a debate whatsoever.

It would be a great help to all of us if the some of us who tend to monopolize this blog -- by shouting (that's using all caps, esp. to draw attention to negatives) or quoting long news stories in full instead of providing a simple link -- would please refrain from doing so. If we all keep our exchanges relatively brief and to the point, we will all get a lot more said, and heard.

Net etiquette is important for reasonable discourse, and for a good example (there are lots, just Google "netiquette") of basic guidelines we would all do well to keep in mind, go here: http://su-groups.group.stum...

Everyone is on this site because we have a common goal, so we do our best to share and respect each others' commentaries. Senator Obama wants us to educate ourselves block by block with the goals of unity, respect, and cooperation. In that regard, sometimes less is more, and mutual consideration is always the imperative. The world is watching this site to see what Obama is all about, so let us be about it…

This is not a repost. I wrote this here. In this blog. I spend a lot of time here writing personal, long and heartfelt pieces, or trying to give people links to information.

I'm not sure what I said to make you feel that I was not entirely on board with the concept of unity. As someone who works for the common good of all people, as an unpaid volunteer cooking food in my own home every other Sunday for the homeless and so forth, I only hoped I could assist others understand that not only was Fox News bad, but also that the NBBP were NOT like the NOW BPP, which stands honorably at times with the U.S. Dept of Justice and the Quakers for the purpose of social justice.

Susan and John,

I really appreciate what you have to say. We all have to be aware and respect that this entire campaign is so much bigger than us and our personal issues with the media, or "outside" posters, etc. This all shall have long lasting effects, and can really make a huge difference, not only in this country, but throughout the world. You're right, everyone is watching us.

Thank you for your thoughtful statements, there is so much repetition of the negative on here and link after link to the Conservative news sites, to the point where one stopping by who didn't know better, might at times think they're at the wrong place!

There is also alot of "tit-for-tat". That isn't what Obama represents, in fact he speaks out against that. But at this time, I'm weary of reminding people on here to ignore the imposters.

It's time for me to take a break from daily posting and focus my efforts on what I can do to help get Obama elected. I'm limited to an extent due to health issues. Seeing Barack take that oath, always was and still is my first and foremost goal. This country needs his leadership more desperately than ever. I am so grateful for everyone who contributes in various ways. Esp those who go from state to state. Support them too!

Many of the people from early on seem to have disappeared from the blog and I do miss seeing them.

I'll still stop by and post our Aussie friend John Hay's site and latest articles, as he emails me, so hopefully people can enjoy those and relish the company of a caring supporter and his amazing insights, and long hours of effort put into contributing in his way, to this campaign. There are many ways to help, and one of them is spreading the good word!

Anyone can email or message me at any time.

Here's something interesting I saw a few minutes ago, it isn't Fox, but oh well!

And here is John Hay's site. Please DO check it out and save the link, check back frequently. It is well worth it. John deeply appreciates comments and feedback on his articles and videos.

Oops! Now I find I need to put in a penny with my own thoughts.

I believe that it should be fully understood that We the Obama Folk are from all walks of life and ages. That is Us, Obama Folk.

That understood, we are not false sugar here. One only need to flash on to HRC monitored site to see short nice postings that are thin.

While it is always good to nudge a reminder of etiquette, it is best not said patronizingly.

Folks such as SaSa have a long and deep profile here of hard work and a plethera of interesting and important information. Usually if one isn't interested in another's post, they don't respond and move on.

But I do caution about cautioning us into being one breed. We are not. I am an Indpendent and can swing the rafters from one end of the spectrum that McCarthy would love to hang to the other end which would make me seem like a czar--benevolent yet.

We have people who like being 1st on the blogs and have playful fun in between their hard work and frankly their dedication to being 1st means that they are up to date on what is going on and I for one like that. The long blogs of information are rather handy for me who does not always wish to lose my place in the blogs if I go to a link which slows my pc.

Personally, I accept all of you with all of your offerings.

Let's keep us always together. Keep it coming in is what I say!

Rev. Wright Should Apologize | Report to Admin

If Rev. Wright cares about Obama, as much as Obama cares about him, he should publicly admit that "some of his comments" were over the top!!

Re: Rev. Wright Should Apologize | Report to Admin

By John Mar 19th 2008 at 10:14 pm EDT

It will be very unfair to judge him by 2 mins soundbites.

All pastors of all races and denominations had made controversial statements before. These include: Billy Graham, John Hagee, etc. This apart, if you are a believer in God and believe the gospel of Christ, you should know better.

In the scripture (Holy Bible), Matthew 10:34-35, Jesus said I come not to bring peace into the earth but sword. I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother ...... So for someone to come to you and quote that from the scripture, will you agree, not be afraid, or believe christianity? It is necessary to view messages in line with the mood of the sermon.

Many prophets have cursed Israel for her sins, even the Kings do curse themselves to seek the face of God. Thus, if you are truly a christian, you will not be dismayed or perturbed.

It is my hopes that he has not put to much faith in, "we the people. If he cannot recover from these ungodly attacks, it will have little to do with Rev. Wright, but rather, we who have the collective voices and votes, have failed him.

That is the point Obama made in his speech yesterday. Some people will never understand that and I feel for them. Some people don't wnt to talk about race. Some people want him to crucify his pastor. Some people never planned on voting for him in the first place and will continue to arm themselves with the words of his pastor. This thing will never go away, but will we as his supporters let that defeat us. The people who want to find problems with Obama will continue to do so and no speech or action will help but its up to us, his supporters to keep supporting him. If we don't, he will fail. We really have to move past this, not the Replicans or the conservatives or Hillaries supporters.

I am a white lesbian in the NYC metro area, and I am all about Obama- always have been. The NY senator could never pay me enough to make me support her!

It's been annoying to me that some of my gay friends are blindly jumping on the NY senator's bandwagon without educating themselves on Barack's superior positions on gay issues. The fact that Barack supports repealing all of DOMA is a great example of this superior leadership. Our "Democratic" (had to use the quotation marks now as the term seems less and less applicable to her) opponent only supports repealing part of it. When I was weighing my candidate choices, this was one thing that solidified my support for Barack.

Re: Keep Emailing!!! | Report to Admin

By Sam from ATL Mar 19th 2008 at 10:39 pm EDT

more from this article (a must read!):

The Associated Press last week got a preview of how this presidential season is going to unfold, and how online liberal activists aren't going to stand down when the press takes cheap shots at Democratic front-runners.

After AP reporter Nedra Pickler wrote a news story highlighting how some fringe Republican operatives were raising questions about Sen. Barack Obama's patriotism, angry readers dispatched nearly 15,000 electronic letters protesting the piece. Why? Because instead of providing balance and context, which is what good journalism does, the article simply offered a platform for Obama's opponents to roll out their smears, to broadcast their dark doubts about the senator's character.

That kind of media shortcoming has become predictable; reporters love to quote partisan Republicans about how deficient Democrats are. And in the past it would have likely produced angry denunciations online within the liberal blogosphere -- a blog swarm, perhaps. In fact, within hours of the article being posted on the wires, John Aravosis at Americablog condemned the news agency for the way it regurgitated "right-wing lies about Obama lacking patriotism." (Aravosis was simultaneously irked by an interactive poll posted at CNN.com that asked readers if Obama was sufficiently patriotic.) Even without an organized effort, it's likely the Pickler article would have prompted scores of blog readers to send off a fistful of angry missives to the AP.

But nearly 15,000 letters sent in just a matter of days in response to a single news wire article? That's something else entirely and could mark the dawn of a new era in progressive media activism. The phenomenon has received very little mainstream media attention (journalists probably don't want to encourage this sort of thing), but make no mistake: It was a very big deal.

In part because it's become clear that if there's going to be an effective media pushback during this White House run, it's going to have to come from online.

Also, this White House campaign is going to be the test case to see whether the more fully matured liberal blogosphere is able to alter the mainstream media landscape at all, whether it's going to be able to knock the press off some of its favorite, predisposed biases against Democrats. From the looks of the eruption the AP created, progressives have already made enormous strides since the 2004 campaign.

Shame on Fox - they probably either posted the page in order to take a copy of it - or found some mercenary dupe to do it for them!

That is so cynical. And it won't work. Time to think about filing a protest with the FCC - they are completely disregarding their responsibility to the public by such falsehoods.

We will prevail. Patience in persecution - Veritas Odium Parit. Truth separates itself from hatred (violence, fear and lies).

Good work you guys! Love you Barack.

Listen folks again I say don't watch the media.
You see what it is doing to your minds. They may come on this blog and see how we are all caught in the in junk. So please stop! They are idoits, racist, ignorant, bias and prejudice.

I don't look at them! Only when I know Barack may be on them.

They don't speak for the American people. Remember that. If we have people out there that are stupid enough to believe this stuff, then all we can do is pray for them.

I have faith that it is someone out there that is going to put a end to the racist and bias messages that we are hearing from those stations.

Remember everyone who has all POWER!

NOT THIS TIME!

Yes we can, yes we will.

Keep the faith, keep looking up, pray and know that nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Let's make it happen!

I avoid watching political programs on TV. HOwever, what Fox did is so despicable that they need to hear from us. I know they do it in order to get massive emails (and for political reasons). I believe we need to let them know that we know what they are doing and that they are going to lose viewers by their actions.

IMO Fox news does not even deserve to be broadcasting any news; it is so FAKE!

360 | Report to Admin

By SK in Atlanta Mar 19th 2008 at 10:18 pm EDT

Not impressed with how the AC 360 piece has been conducted and framed.

Wolf had some real hatchet men on just before who totally trashed Obama (why do they let republican strategists in on these 'expert panels') and Jamal was mostly worthless as an Obama advocate on the panel.

Now AC has DeeDee Meyers on--a Clinton supporter who wrote a book entitled 'Why Women Should Rule the World'. Isn't that just as bad as something entitled 'Why Black People Should Rule the World'? or 'Why men should rule the world'? How is that not inflammatory?

Isn't it better to say 'The person best up for the job should rule the world'?

Crap reporting. If Obama wasn't on, I wouldn't watch. And they continue to insist on showing those Wright clips. Wouldn't it be ironic if the pundits had their way and used the media to end Obama's campaign because of Rev Wright? Just goes to show what Obama talked about yesterday: the fruitlessness of such anger. Black anger and resentment over a lack of progress on racial issues, could be what derails Obama's campaign--the black man who was well on his way to becoming president before another black man stabbed him in the back with a dagger filled with anger at society.

maybe i'm overstating it. I hope no one was offended. That's not how I intended the comments to come off...

I agree with Gergen -- this story won't have the same legs in the general -- people will be burned out by then. Dee Dee disagrees but she's a closet Clinton lover. She's trying to act impartial now because she thinks that will help her book sales -- she doesn't want to appear too partisan. Her book came out just after Super Tuesday. Given the title and subject matter, it's my belief that she timed it that way because she, like others, believed that HRC was inevitable and would seal the nomination by March 4. She was going to use a Clinton victory to launch her book. Oops!

She is out in the open about her support for Hillary Clinton. Leading up to to Ohio, you couldn't turn on a news program without seeing her face. Her book is a subliminal message.

Yes, I logged too on to express my discontent with the show. I NEVER watch news, only web, an while I visit CNN.com, I balance it with others (but never FOX.)I did watch the speech live on CNN, and besides Wolf, I was not too disappointed with the analysis there, but that was an exception.

Anderson is supposed to be neutral, but he asks questions that are loaded. I didn't watch much because the panels make me mad. I wanted to watch Barack on the campaign trail. I am done with panelists.

Barack can and will rise above all this. That HRC is making this re-vote his fault is absurd. Are we all so naive? I hope not. We are so used to our diet of pre-digested sound bytes, that we won't think for ourselves.

Yes, you are right b/c Roland Martin sets them straight also. It is all about which commmentator can keep the controversy lit. This story could have been dropped days ago. It's ok b/c I am see that the more the media is talking about it, the general public is asking why are we still talking about this and I truly think Barack will pick up more voters b/c of all of this negative campaigning and if not, the right wing or republicans or whomever put out the Wright video has received more of a reverse reaction than they thougt - Obama speech on race, more positive reaction, more verbal support, etc. Keep your eyes and ears open people and don't let the Fox sneak up on us.

My problem with talk that BO should have left the church is that many of those commentators are hypocritical in that, when the shoe is on the other foot there was no insistence for others to abandon their churches/denominations. Religious history will show that there have been numerous occasions where men have failed their calling, and while we may condemn to the strongest degree their statements and actions, going so far as to abandon our faith and religious homes is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There have been times when men have physically harmed others by their actions and not just their speech, reflect on the disgrace brought upon the Catholic church by some of our priests, and not once did anyone suggest that I should abandon the church because of the actions of a few - not that I would have anyway!

Luckily, our candidate is a cool customer. McCain is doing well in the polls right now because Barack is being hammered (unfairly, I might add) while McCain is skating along and no one's paying much attention to him. Just watch and see what happens when the general election starts. McCain will make mistakes and they will be magnified by the intense media coverage of the campaign.

That makes me think about the short history of our country. Not even 250 years old and already we are blatantly and violently attempting to increase our domination of the planet. America, Inc. absolutely loves war. That sounds really messed up but it's true. To the media, and a war is a bigger spectacle event than the SuperBowl or the Olympics. Money! Profits! Lights! Action! All the reporters and commentators get all dressed up and prance around the airwaves giddy and ridiculous.
Our country is fighting two wars of aggression and not doing so well on either front. Nobody barely notices out on the street. Sure, we talk about it and worry about it and sympathize but most American carry on quite as usual in their lives. 7 years of war has brought us nothing. Nothing but loss of blood and treasure, and years of heartbreak and slow recovery for thousands and thousands of honest and innocent American families.

Hi Believe 67, I have been loosing some hope myself. I dont understand. I thought that because there were so many Whites willing to vote for Barack, that maybe I was closeted in my thinking that they wouldnt allow him to be Prez. Now I know, as long as he is a "good little boy" they vote for him. So many people are turning their backs on him. Im scared we are going to loose this thing.

OutFoxing Fox | Report to Admin

By Michael in PA - Outraged Hardboiled Citizen-Historian Thwacked Giddy with Hope Mar 19th 2008 at 10:25 pm EDT

ObamaFamily,

I'm feeling somewhat dismayed by the dismissive tone towards Fox News that I'm picking up here. We are waging a battle of perceptions, of narratives. Fox News is a powerful agent in shaping social perceptions. We would be foolish to underestimate its power.

Never underestimate the power of the adversary.

We shouldn't dismiss this assault. We should strike back, of course, but not in self-righteousness or indignation or disbelief. We should poke fun at it, yes! - nothing like satire to pop the pretensions of stupid ideas. We should reveal it for what it is - ridiculous. And we should take the perception that it isn't ridiculous VERY seriously.

In this battle over perceptions and narratives, we need to be persistent, patient, plainspoken, and fair-minded. We need to EXPLAIN, in ways that reach people's insides, what this movement is about. A lot of people pay attention to Fox News. They take it seriously. We need to take that seriously. And provide an alternative narrative.

We also need to expect skirmishes like this FoxNews Internet trolling incident. When powerful interests are threatened, they strike back. The more powerful we get, the more vicious, offensive, and unified our adversary will become.

Revolutions always breed counter-revolutions. And the contras can get very nasty.

The Obama candidacy isn't a revolution, but it does represent the prospect of significant change. In today's world, that's enough to spark the fiercest of backlashes.

And it's barely begun.

It's good we take heart in the power of our numbers, and the power of our ideas, because they are our two greatest weapons. I hope we can learn to use them wisely.

This is a war of ideas. Let's take the ideas of our adversaries as seriously as soldiers in battle take bullets and bombs.

Finally, let me say that I hope Steven Colbert, a.k.a. Hero of the Universe/Multiverse, Prince of the Galaxy, and King of Humankind's Better Angels, takes this FoxNews Internet Trolling Incident head-on!

Go Get 'Em STEVEN ! ! !

YES

COLBERT

I am so sick and tired of the drama | Report to Admin

By Cherry NYC Mar 19th 2008 at 10:26 pm EDT

I am so sick and tired of watching all MSM today. Why do the media keep asking if Barack Obama can put this Rev Wright thing behind him, when THEY (the media) keep talking about it. They keep playing clips of Rev Wright and then ask their panelist if BO can move pass this. Anderson Cooper agrees with the panel that BO needs to talk about the issues and not Rev Wright, yet he spent the first part of his interview with BO talking about Rev Wright. It's as if BO is calling everyone begging to keep answering questions about Rev Wright.

I wish BO could just tell people he's going to stop answering questions about Rev Wright and he will only talk about the issues.

Plus if a 527 group tries to use this in a general election another 527 can use Pastor Hagee and Pastor Rod Parsley in a commercial against McCain. And I want people to grow up about the flag pin. McCain doesn't wear one everyday either.

MSM is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

It's interesting after Barack Obama made a compelling case for Americans to dialogue with each other so that we can begin to shrink the racial divide and begin healing that Fox News posts a supposed "news article" about a user account created on the Barack Obama for President website. You should be ashamed of yourselves, although I suspect you will just ignore this comment and other like it. Your "slant" on the news continues to help polarize this country. Instead of recognizing that we can have honest disagreements about public policy you continue to publish the salacious, reality TV version of so-called news.

What Fox did was deplorable. What did we say about "anything to get elected?"

I came to this blog after watching Anderson 360. I was most unhappy that a panel of 3 consisted of a republican strategist (obviously biased), Deedee Myers (a Clinton supporter) and David Gergen. Did that panel sound balanced. Deedee decided to whip up all the race stuff and basically assert Obama cannot be the nominee. She included the bit that he was caught without his hand over his heart during the pledge. Nobody corrected her.

Now I screwed up earlier today so I want to be a little more careful before e-mailing 360@cnn.com, but wasn't that the when the anthem was playing that he was seen without his hand over his heart? Not the pledge? Does anybody know?

Thanks.

Fox News = TASS | Report to Admin

By Pat Clarke Mar 19th 2008 at 10:31 pm EDT

My parents have been die hard Fox News fans for years. It has always disturbed me to see the devotion they have to it. Anytime I bring up some absurdly inane story like this that Fox has reported, my parents get defensive and talk about the other networks and how they are worse etc.

The scary thing to me, is that people, intelligent people like my parents, actually believe this stuff. My parents buy Fox News books, bumper stickers, mugs, t-shirts, hats, and as retired people with too much time on their hands, watch about 6-8 hours of this tripe a day. The low levels that Fox will stoop to never cease to amaze me. My parents comment about how great it is to live in America with a free press and how places like Iran and the USSR had their fake news like TASS and how horrible it must have been in those countries to have such news broadcasts.

But you hear about stories like this, and it makes you wonder how our different our media outlets actually are from TASS and Iran News et al. It's naive to think they are any better. Our only saving grace seems to be CSPAN.

It is probably futile, I know, but I am going to boycott any Fox News advertiser and will do whatever I can to encourage others to do the same. The only way you can stop this tripe from being spread is with the power of the purse.

On a website I tend to blog on their has been a little " battle " going on, on who is the better candidate, Hillary or Obama. I have commented on it a few times backing Barack of course but, after Barack's speech I saw two post today then immediately put a smile on my face. One was a former Kucinich supporter the other I am not sure of, but none the less their comments were positive.

" Anyone who still won't consider Obama needs to sit down and listen to the speech he gave on race in America the other day.

it has been a loooooong time since a speech made by any politician moved me, and it nearly brought me to tears. before, i said i wasn't "for" Obama in any meaningful way -- i now retract that. i will be actively campaigning for him from this point forward.

the media tried to make him throw his own pastor under the bus for some comments that he made a while back, but true to form, Barack stayed above the fray and successfully distanced himself from those particular opinions of his minister, while completely still embracing the minister himself.

he could give lessons on the fact that you can kick someone OFF the "bus" without throwing them under it. anyone who can navigate the minefield of the media BS like that, and turn their own disgusting games against them... gets my vote."

Re: If I didn't love Barack... | Report to Admin

By ForObama Mar 19th 2008 at 11:07 pm EDT

Something about Anderson tells me that he just isnt willing to believe Obama.

After his interview a couple of days ago, he insisted with all the panel members.."can you take him for his words on Rev Wright..?" He kept on prodding the questions trying to get a negative reply from the 'experts'.

Even today, in his interview with Obama from the trail, his expression said that he was interviewing and asking questions alright, but he had this "I am not sure I can believe you" look about him.

In fact it wasnt just Cooper. I noticed CAmpbell Brown also repeating the same mantra---can the GOP attack Obama on patriotism if not Rev wright's comments come November? When the panelists were singing praises about Obama's Race Speech, Campbell kept on prodding about the damage that wright has caused to Obama--all the while the clip from Rev Wright playing on the other half of the screen.

I think an internal memo from the bosses at CNN requires them to be slanted towards HRC for sure.

David,

DO NOT CALL, WRITE OR EMAIL FAUX NEWS.

Do not watch them=cannot count your household among their viewing audience.

Use the only language they understand=not spending your hard earned money on products they advertise.

CALL AND EMAIL THEIR SONSORS AND ADVERTISERS INSTEAD.

Follow the money!

Sponsors forget that we have MANY choices available to us for just about any product. US CHOOSING not to purchase from them is a simple choice that can be mde in a split second decision.

Either way, it amounts to money spent with the competition.

Let advertisers reflect on that!

The money will get them every single time.

Except it won't help. I'm sure that whoever did it was behind an anonymous proxy. You might be able to trace it but if they used something like Tor then forget it - it's virtually untraceable.

I'm ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED the page was created by someone at Fox News. Maybe Rupert Murdoch himself.

If they have a log of who logs on and when, they might be able to compare the IP address that was used to sign up and if that person came back later, what IP address was used then.

I use vBulletin on a forum I've run for 5 years and if I see someone signing up and their IPs don't match on the "Who's Online" feature and their registration, they go straight to the ban.

Re: Hey Sam | Report to Admin

By Neo Hussein Abraxas Mar 19th 2008 at 11:25 pm EDT

If they go through the same proxy every time, you'll get one IP but it will be the IP of the proxy server. It won't tell you anything about who was behind the proxy. Especially if the proxy is configured anonymous and keeps no logs.

Yeah, it was probably either someone at Fox, or the hateful person who posted it sent Fox a tip about it. How else would they have "found" the group page so fast? I even tried searching for it after I heard about it, and couldn't locate it--that was BEFORE it was taken down.

Anyone else notice that the Anderson 360 episode that was supposed to be showing a day with Barack, turned into an interrogation fest, and comments on CLINTON'S former staff??

Anderson acts like he is sincerely interested in doing a piece profiling Barack and asking him a few questions with the intention of getting an answer. Instead, it's as though he didn't like Barack's answer and turned to HILLARY'S panel for THEIR opinion!!

This was HORRIBLE and I turned it off after the first few minutes of it after I saw where this was going.

Very disappointing. I am sure if Sen. Obama knew how they were going to once again SPIN this story, he never would have agreed to let this interview happen.

I say Anderson needs a few hundred emails sent to him showing how sneaky this was!

Keith Olberman is the ONLY journalist who's TRUE and HONEST opinion I care to hear anymore!!

okay, i just went to the fox news website (shudder) to see if the story was still up before i emailed them, and i feel kinda dirty.

believe me, the two photos of bill o and the depressed vagina lady will haunt my dreams tonight.

anyway, the story now reads "obama camp rejects black panther endorsement" Link

it is not a positive story by any means, but it does state that the page has been removed because the group advocates violence. it goes on to talk about the black panthers and belittle senator obama's speech yesterday, but it appears they are now reporting some version of the (fixed) truth.

i guess the emails worked?

i have to take a shower now.

Since comment moderation is in full force, I can't be sure if my comment will be allowed there, however, if not, I decided to post it here just in case.
============================== =====

I have never been more ashamed to be a Republican than now. Fox News, you've sunk to a new low. Everyone knows any Tom, Dick or Sally can create a webpage profile on these candiate blogs!

There are literally thousands of people posting pages on the McCain, Obama and Clinton sites. They're impossible to police! Yet someone on your staff, wanting to continue this race-baiting nonsense, decided yellow journalism was the way to go. Anyone with a brain cell would know the Obama campaign has NO link to the Black Panthers. Wouldn't it have been prudent to call the campaign HQ to verify things before running with a story like this? A story steeped in lies?

And here I thought Hillary Clinton was the desperate one.

Fox seems to have surpassed her.

I respect John McCain a lot and I KNOW he would not approve of what you're doing. What's more, I respect Barack Obama too and I take great offense to these vile tactics of yours. You people make me sick to my stomach.

John McCain does NOT need your brand of vicious attacks to win this election. He wants to do it honorably and honestly, yet you've decided to drag the rest of us in the mud with Hillary. And what does this do? It makes it look like McCain is in league with you!

God certainly doesn't like ugly and your news organization will reap everything that you are sowing, especially you, Sean Hannity. I hope you get what you deserve.

I am a foreigner in this country, but it does appear to me that to vote Republican means to vote for war, to attack Iran, and to ruin this country economically.
I do not understand why so many relatively poor people vote for Republicans, the rich people - yes - they do it for tax cuts.

Emphasis on INITIALLY.

The "poor people" you refer to are more likely to: 1) be less-educated, 2) have pressing financial concerns, 3) feel insecure about their jobs/careers and future, and 4) scare easily and resort to fear because of their situations. Hence, they're more likely to buy into fear-tactics and VOTE FOR WAR.

Liba,

BTW, I don't know why poor people vote for Republicans, nor do I know why they vote for Democrats! People, whether they're rich or poor, vote for CANDIDATES mostly because they perhaps identify with the person or with the person's message.

Most of the time though, people end up getting disappointed because politicians promise you the world, then fail to deliver even a clump of dirt.

Obama is different in this respect because he says upfront that he's not perfect and that he NEEDS our help. I respect that.
