I just started reading this on someone elses page but his got flaged because he put the whole article on and someone took it the wrong way I guess. This guy didn't make it up. I just found the page on the web.
Apparently anyone can join the MyBarackObama network and create their own page.
And certainly no candidate can handpick who his supporters are.
But does he have to allow them to advertise on his website?
My guess is that's put up by a Republican who supports their guy. Kinda like the Republican suggesting that (now that the Republican candidate has been selected) in open primaries Republicans should vote for Clinton to keep the Democrats divided. It's politics.
This should be no surprise to anyone. No matter how much Barak claims not be a person of hatred, it seems most of his supporter are people who have some type of hatred for America.
Doesn't surprise me. Even hate-mongers can support people - and purchasing advertising space online is so easy, the Obama campaign probably had absolutely no idea.
Strange that you forgot to post this other half of the post
Obama Campaign Removes New Black Panther Party Endorsement From Web Site Wednesday, March 19, 2008 http://sweetness-light.com/archive/new-black-panther-party-supports-obama
And while we are at it, we should show what the members of that BLOB believe. "Someone please explain why Barack Hussein "Osama" Obama can get away with having black supremecist groups supporting him, and no one makes a fuss about it, but when Ron Paul was taking money from Stormfront, it was considered grounds to run him out of the campaign? (And yes, I do believe Paul should answer for that)
Is it just me, or is anyone else SICK TO DEATH of the racial double standard in this country?
I don't believe anything on the net that cannot be crossed checked for fact from a major news source BBC, NBC, Wall Street Journal, CNN etc. About half of the stuff on the internet is BS.
I did a check and haven't came across this story from any reliable news source a reliable news source. I also noticed that this blog really don't clearly identify themselves and have no contact information especially noted was no physical address, people that lurk in the shadows usually are hiding from someone or are hiding something, lurking in the shadows and hiding is not characteristic of an honest person or operation.
"I did a check and haven't came across this story from any reliable news source a reliable news source will also usually have a real physical address."
Me either. Although I did find the story on "The Official Website of Representative David Duke, PhD". Now there's a surprise!
(Burning questions: when did David Duke become a Representative again and where did he get the PhD?)
OK, I'll answer my own burning questions. David Duke hasn't been "Representative David Duke" for at least 10 years and his PhD is in History from the Ukrainian Interregional Academy of Personnel Management, which the Anti-Defamation League describes as a "University of Hate". His doctoral thesis was titled "Zionism as a Form of Ethnic Supremacism".
Hey Amy H., it would appear that the answer to your question is NO! Why are some hate mongers wasting their time on these trivial pursuits when the train has already left the station, I may never understand.
When ever you start getting internet e-mail and gossip check it against a known reliable news source and also remember a honest person or organization will never hide themselves, only dishonest people hide themselves and use pen names and provide no way to contact them. They are usually one step ahead of the cops.
False things are printed on all candidates on the net. Most people realiize this. But oh if anything false is printed about Barak, his supporters go crazy.They act as if this is the first time it has ever happened. They need to realize Barak is going to be a target for internet gossip just like all other candidates for President. I am not saying this right to do, just Barak supporters must realize that this happens in the political world.
I've been told by a lot of people, including some here on Gather, that when your overall goal is truly moral and just you can justify a lot of things in pursuit of that goal. David Duke truly believes in his heart that America would be a lot better off if there were no living black people left here. I'm sure he believes that his cause is far too important to let little legal technicalities stand in the way of achieving it. That puts him on the same level with zealots and extremists of every belief set and in every walk of life. The ends justifying the means is the shortest road to hell.
I went to the David Duke website and he has a link to the Council of Conservative Citizens, which is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The CCC spills hate all over the place to whomever will listen and often use wedge issues as an opening to gain interest and or new members.
The Council of Conservative Citizens is a re-birth of the White Citizens Councils of the civil rights era who tried with all their might to keep segregation in place. My parents used to call the White Citizen Council the suit and tie Klan. Some called them the up town Klan. A lot is coming out in this thread.
The ends justifying the means is the shortest road to hell. Some people will do anything to accomplish their goal. Our jails and prisons are full of such folks that operate without a moral compass. Everybody from stock swindlers to common thieves and murderers.

re: "I've been told by a lot of people, including some here on Gather, that when your overall goal is truly moral and just you can justify a lot of things in pursuit of that goal."
Yep, or even when you (falsely) BELIEVE your goal to be moral, like the Klan or the Catholic Church or the Republican Party... but some really vile groups truly consider themselves the very height of reason and morality. For example, the GOP has a long-term plan they call Project for a New American Century or PNAC. It involves creating peace in the Middle East (a worthy goal) by eliminating all the people who live there! (Obviously a disgusting and inhuman policy, and the scariest part is, they've already gotten a good start (they have killed a million Iraqis - how many millions of innocent people have to die before we can use the word 'holocaust?' ) Oh, btw, the PNAC plan also calls for "several major-theater wars" for the US, so if you don't think the thousands of dead American soldiers we have now aren't enough, get ready for lots more if the GOP get elected in November. And I'm generous enough to believe that most religious groups honestly believed that the wars they started were in pursuit of worthy goals (although war is such a great crime against humanity, very few justifications are ever legitimate). Zealotry tends to make people become utterly misguided and lose what moral compass they might have had, or as Voltaire opined, "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
That, in short, is the main reason I am against religion. But there are other organizations equally rotten at the core, and the Republican Party is undoubtedly one.
Sometimes I don't find much to believe in about our species.

Hamas, New Black Panthers, former Weathermen terrorist....the list goes on. I don't care if Obama says he doesn't accept their endorsement, the fact that all these anti-American organizations support him makes a statement. His disdain for America comes off clearly to them, and me. If elected, he will be a disaster on many levels, least of which is experience and lack of understanding of this country. Does he think Ethiopa is among the 57 states he has visited while campaining? Get real people, if McCain had said he visited 57 states, the news media would have been all over it and Obama himself would have indicated it was evidence that McCain was senile. I give as evidence the Obama knows and cares too little about this country to be president.
Sounds like more politics. Yes, its true that if you volunteer or donate to his campaign you can create a page. They are mostly descriptions of why they believe in him to get others to donate and use it as a campaign to help him. I don't know what the contraversy is. "March of Dimes" offered the same thing for their walk "March for Babies." So did National Water Day. http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/flashindex.html Yes, some people will take advantage and use it as their own personal advertisement site, but hopefully their moderator will find it and remove it accordingly.
Obama Campaign Removes New Black Panther Party Endorsement From Web Site
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Barack Obama's campaign has removed an endorsement by the New Black Panther Party from its Web site, one day after the Illinois senator delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America.
"The page in question has been removed from our campaign Web site," Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor told FOXNews.com after inquiries about the endorsement. "It's our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence." …
Sigh. This is the kind of old-style politics and hate-mongering we can expect from now through November. Obviously, there are a lot of ignorant people here on gather. I have had about enough of it. If you choose to believe this kind of poppycock, then you deserve to have John McCain as your president. He will keep us at war, continue our economy down the same dead-end track, and promote the kind of fear-mongering we are seeing in this discussion thread.
I hope you all are better than that. I hope you will rise above it, like Sen. Obama has. I am doing my best to bite my tongue.
Oh!!! How I love this site. I love to see minds less gifted than my own, make a fool of themselves, for the rest of us to laugh about and pity. I love to see how others use their minds; those who have discovered that they have one; but, are not quite sure about how to use it. LOL If all they can think about is a lapel pin; how empty and desperate their lives must be.
About his not wearing a lapel flag pin, Obama, showed how sharp and clear his mind can be about an issue. Others, bring their petty biases and self-discontent to this issue. They are unhappy people, looking for satisfaction over some issue in their own lives. I love to see these kind of people show how ignorant and uneducated they really are.
I'm Shocked! lol The Republican's did it Heaven knows Obama would never associate himself with racists. Well except for his old pastor, oh and his brother Abongo, and ... etc. etc. etc. llol
Dwight, really I'm laughing with you not at you. Who am I kidding I'm laughing at you. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! What an elitist pile of dung. I wonder why he supports Obama. Birds of a feather and all...
I hardly think Obama's wife needs to thank anyone for her education with the possible exception of her parents sweety. And Shawn, deary, when you've finished bending over for the Republican party the sheep are calling your name from the south 40.
Carol~Your Humble Queen of La La Land, we Obama lovers are fighting for America and our children's future, unlike you who support McSame McClain that wants to take us down the same road of destruction of the last eight years, caused by your failed leader Bush.
Do you not see the financial crisis these fools put us in, while greedily padding their pockets? You and yours sounds to be the only ones here spewing hating for other Americans.
I guess if that is all you have, we will only consider the source and give you a pass.
The 3rd largest pocket padder of Fanny and Freddy Money in the las 10 years was Obama (and he has only been in the Senate for 3 of the 10 that's pretty impressive). The largest pocket padder was Chris Dodd. I guess accusing the other side of not caring about their kids futures isn't spewing hatred. Do you even know how stupid you sound?
Wow, they do like to attack in packs. These people are liberals who work on fear. The Democrats are the ones that are buying out Goldmn Sachs and profiting on the woes of the economy. Grow up foul people. Good job, Amy. Keep hitting the bigot jerks who think they are enlightened.
Tell the uneducated fools above to produce their own degrees. I think we will find they have time to attack because they have no education. I'm retired, but what's their excuse? <center> Myspace Funny Hello Graphics</center>

Yo Terry, your syllogism has no basis in fact, It's invalid, totally inaccurate and totally unconnected to any supporting evidence or proof. This is a perfect example of emotional, irrational nonsense. You have, however, proved something. Hint: it has nothing to do with your statement.

Do you know which party pressured banks into making loans to unqualified borrowers? You do realize that is why we are in the situation we are in now.

I followed the links, and found, as Richard did, that the article had been removed promptly.
Interesting to see Terry claim some insight about "hating America", since this is a person that removes any content to which he disagrees.
They have no trouble with clueless, power-mad, liars who waste american lives and treasure because that Village Idiot is white and talks to Jesus.
Get a life and an education.
David Duke Ph.D. OMG, LOL!
Thanks, Peter. I should have known that. Thankfully that's as far as Duke ever got, although he ran for just about every public office.

Exactly so, Brian.
Leading Republicans, like the unlamented Trent Lott, were members and supporters of these "Councils" throughout their careers.
Lott, of course, is now working as a highly-paid lobbyist in Washington.

I'm going to bed.
Duke ran as a Democrat and a "Populist" (his own party) without success.
David Duke won his election to the Louisiana State House by running as a Republican.
