YO YO YO YObama campaign has worst week of the election, America still has a chance.

August 07, 2008 10:07 AM EDT
views: 265 | comments: 165
   Following a disasterous week on the campaign trail, Barack Hussein (YO YO YO) Obama's drive for the White House (or should I say Black House as the eloquent MR Ludacris, Obama's favorite rapper, put it?) went into a bit of a tail spin. Following an ad featuring Britany Spears and Paris Hilton that struck a deeply resonating chord with discriminating and thinking voters, Obama saw his numbers drop noticeably. In response to this ad Obama did a complete 180 degree flip flop on his stance on offshore drilling. It appears now the affirmative action savior thinks offshore drilling is a swell idea. He has even gone so far as to intimate he has been in favor of it all along. I guess all those speeches where he said it was a "dumb idea" and "pandering and simplistic", he was just you know, joshing.

       Following up the McCain ad, Ludacris released the new Obama campaign song. The song, (and I use the most liberal definition of the word I can manage) Extolls the virutes of Obama, while referring to Hillary Clinton as a bitch, suggests that McCain should be crippled, Offers Jesse Jackson the choice between "one in the head or the gut" and promises to paint the white house black. Luda as Obama seems to refer to him, apparently is one Obama's favorite rappers and according to Luda hisself, is on Obama's Ipod. How charming.  Let's run down a who's who of Obama's supporters and "friends" shall we?

      ** William Ayers-Confessed domestic terrorist and murderer, who is quoted as saying the "only thing I ma sorry about is that we didn't kill more people". Ayers you may have seen as recently as 5 years ago spitting on and burning the AMerican Flag at a protest in Chicago. Obama thinks so much of Ayers that he used his home to launch his campaign.

   ** The Reverend Racist Jeremiah Wright. A man who spewed racist bigotry to the masses of his Chicago church for decades. Is there anyone in the country who hasn't heard his ranting? Apparently Obama "never heard him say anything like that while he was there" Later proven that these rants were weekly screeds and Obama and his America hating wife were regular attendees at these down with whitey, America sucks rallys. Obama after intially defending Wright as just a bit cranky, eventually threw his beloved spiritual advisor under the bus.

*** Hamas. Yes that's right that bastion of middle east civility and inclusion Hamas has come out to endorse Barack Hussein Obama as the candidsate they would most like to see elected president. One assumes that Hamas speaks for most of the murderous turban wearing pigs of that area.

*** Let's not forget the ubiquitous Ludacris. The self proclaimed favorite rapper of single most unqualified man ever to run for president of this country. Luda and YO YO YO Yobama had a sit down back a few months ago where Obama praised the rapper's music. Presumably Obama is a big fan of gang violence and mysogyny, as that is all the talent challenged  Luda writes about.

     Here's the good news America. Obama has not managed to reach 40% of the white vote in a SINGLE state he ran in during the primary. In national polls his numbers among white voters hover somewhere in the low to mid 30's. It is mathematically impossible for him to win the election come November without winning a minimum of 40% of the white vote. The best news? That number is trending down.

    While it is a given that he will win 99.8% of the black vote (but THAT isn't racism, that's just coincidence), it is a mathematical necessity that he win no less than 40% of the white voters. Thus far he has been unable to that even once. This is a fact the media is doing it's damndest to hide. If they can make Americans believe in the inevitablity of an Obama win (and consequently an American defeat) they hope to keep his opponents away from the polls. DON"T BUY IT!

    The next thing you can expect readers, is his national campaign to begin to call those who don't support this clown racists and bigots. Pretty much what his looney tune supporters on Gather do every day. This will begin to happen nationally very soon. Trust me it will.

         Well that's my little bit of sunshine for voters that still love their country and don't think affirmative action should affect who holds the most powerful position in the world. Cheer up things are better than they seem. Just think of sweet it will be in November to see all these whining Obamadroids jumping off bridges and leaving the country in droves like they threaten to do if he loses.  Now if that doesn't make you smile nothing will.

    So I ask you, and this is directed to people who actually think, not the Obamadroids who will cry about how mean pointing out facts like this are, are these the type of people who hold the same values and beliefs that you do? Are these the types of people you want affecting American domestic and international policy for the next 4 years?

Interesting article Chris.

I imagine that all candidates, like any normal person, like some pretty strange people or have some really un-cool friends--even family. I also think that some candidates have better, more experienced handlers.

I'm just watching everything play out.

Not surpirised that Clark flagged this article. There is no spin only facts. The title is something that perhaps some of Obama's illiterate toadies don't understand and that is satire. It refers to Obama's constantly changing positions on issues as well the fact that he is apprently a big fan of hard core rap. Get over yourself. The flag will be removed by Gather presently and I am working on having these specious flaggers sanctioned. We will overcome America.

Thank you so much for proving my point and doing precisely as I predicted the weak minded Obamadroids would do....You are such a simpleminded lot truly. Very predictable and easliy manipulated. As far as the flagging goes I doubt you are being truthful. Considering the fact that therer were only three views of the article and three comments and yours was by far the most inflammatory (big shock there). However I will afford you the benefit of the doubt and take you at your word.
There is no racism here Clark, My dear simple minded adversary, you see facts are not racist, they are facts. If the facts seem to be racially inclined one way or the other then one needs to examine the subject of said facts. There is where the racist is, not the one who points them out. Do you see the difference little toad?

Sylvia, you will notice I didn't get into the racial remarks made by Obama's grandmother. One cannot choose family. One can however choose their friends and associates. William Ayers is a murderer, who's only regret was that he didn't kill more. Obama chose him as the person who's shoulders he wanted to stand on to launch his campaign. Nuff said.

"So I ask you, and this is directed to people who actually think, not the Obamadroids who will cry about how mean pointing out facts like this are, are these the type of people who hold the same values and beliefs that you do?" (Chris, above)

Well, at least you admit that you have no interest in presenting factual information. Which is a relief, because for a second there I thought you actually believed some of what you are saying was true. Now we can appreciate the quality of your interpretations. Though it does seem kind of odd that you would choose to denigrate yourself by constantly repeating things that all reputable sources have been shown to be false. But the great thing about this country is that we all have the right to show our true colors.

"Are these the types of people you want affecting American domestic and international policy for the next 4 years?"

Actually, yes. It would sure be an improvement, wouldn't it.

"Well, that is an outright lie, Clark. "

More denial. What a shocker. Take a look at the absurdities that this racist fool has pointed out in his idiotic article, and tell me that they're meaningful issues, especially given the fact that the EXACT SAME issues can be brought up against McCain. The point is, the obama haters are racists. Issues don't really matter to them, which is why they bring up points that have no meaning. They're smokescreens, used to hide the fact that the REAL reason for their evisceral hatred of the man is that he is simply the "wrong color" to reside in the white house.

Let's not pretend that the republican party isn't the party of racist bigotry, shall we?

Readers you will notice that faithful Obamadroids haev come out in force and done precisely what I said they would do. Since there is not a single thing in the article that is untrue, they call one who points out these facts as racist. They can't repudiate anything writeen except through blatant and transparent lies so they attack the person who delivers the message.

It sometimes gets tiring being so right so often. :-)

I understand what your saying about the title Lera. I have gone back and forth about it. For now I'm going to keep it. Because it addresses both Obama's flip flopping and his apparently close ties with the rapper Ludacris. I may rethink that later.

Btw, moron, my comments here have NOTHING to do with Obama. You'll notice that I've not even mentioned him. My comments are NOT in response to your idiotic nonsensical non-issue points about the man in your pointless, worthless, racist article.

My comments are entirely in response to your overt, offensive racism. But, as usual, when you can't handle the harsh, bitter truth, you simply make shit up to make yourself feel better. I would've expected nothing more from you, that's for certain.

Wow, you know how to get the hate flowing! I did not see anything racist here but the hate directed at you! Lift facts from the newspaper, place them at the feet of those who see some uncuallified clown as a savior and they get pissed.

Apparently wishing someone was crippled is OK, as long as it is in the name of Hussein Obama. Don't get me wrong, I do not like McCain either, but if you speak against the Holy One, you are racist.

Perhaps someone can show which statements are false and racist?

Humm...

What did you say that was untrue? Let's take the first sentence. I have watched the news several times this week. I have read the papers. Somehow all the media have missed the disaster and the tail spin of the Obama campaign.

Second sentence refers to an add that "struck a deeply resonating chord with discriminating and thinking voters." Now since you have no knowledge of anyone else's "chords" (whatever they are) you could not know the truth of that part of the statement. Secondly, everyone who is alive and conscious thinks. That includes those who found the ad to be offensive and racist. Thus that statement is either untrue or says nothing at all.

Third sentence, "affirmative action savior" seems to imply that Obama became editor of the Harvard Law Review only because he was black. That is also untrue.

But I tire of this game. You give supporters of McCain (and there are many good people who support McCain who are discriminating in the good sense of accepting only high quality and who are quite rational and honest) a bad name. You make McCain's campaign look low and mean spirited and without issues other than gratuitious insults.

Do you represent mainstream Republican thinking? Do you claim to represent the Republican Party? Are most Republicans in high places in the Republican Party like you?

Well I never said I didn't like Obama but I am on the record for saying that I will not vote for him. By Clark's definition then does that make me a racist? I've been told that before and I'm still puzzled about this train of thought. Perhaps you Chris could shed some light on this assumption that Clark has made?

"He is against Obama and I don't see any reason not to show it in his writing. "

There's nothing wrong with being opposed to a particular candidate. As I pointed out earlier, my comments have nothing to do with Obama, but are instead a respone to what I see as an overt, disgusting level of racism in his comments. "Yo yo yo Yobama?" WTF is that? Would we be seeing that if Obama were white? I don't think so.

Additionally, every point that he makes to back up his inane hatred for the man is something that can be brought up against McCain as well, yet you don't see him or the other obama haters making issues with McCain over those things, do you? Why? Because McCain is white, that's why. It's crystal clear, whenever some obama hater brings up these issues that are McCain albatrosses, as their justification for hating Obama, that the REAL cause for the irrational hatred of Obama has nothing to do with those issues, but rather has everything to do with the color of his skin.

It's no coincidence at all that this is coming from the political party that has built itself on core racism for the past 40+ years.

I don't think Chris is a negative person at all, and I do know him better than most of you. I just think that again this is a matter of supposed grown ups not being able to agree to disagree. I wonder why this has to be this way anytime someone says anything negative about the big "O??" Could it be perhaps because you too have your doubts and the best way to ally those fears is by attacking someone who stands up for what he believes in?

"By Clark's definition then does that make me a racist?"

No, but then again, I haven't seen your rational for opposing him yet. If you bring up nonsensical bullshit, such as that which racists such as Chris here bring up, then yes, you probably are a racist. If you can find some rational, realistic justification for opposing him, and it's not something that can also be tied directly to his opponent, then you've got valid justification.

What would be valid justification?

If you really want the US to be in Iraq for 100 to 1,000 years, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want the oil companies to receive MORE tax welfare handouts, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want more tax welfare handouts to millionaires, at the expense of the lower 99% of the nation, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want to see social security gutted and destroyed, so that vulture capitalists can reap massive profits at the nation's expense, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want to see our schools and infrastructure continue to crumble and decay, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want our healthcare system to continue killing and bankrupting us, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you really want to continue to see good paying American jobs shipped overseas, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you're pleased that al Qaeda is growing stronger and OBL still remains at large, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you this 14.7 million people in poverty, and rising is a good thing, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

If you like seeing millions of people lose their homes and fall to bankruptcy, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

In short, if you thought the past 8 years were wonderful for this country, and want to see it extended for another 4 years, you have valid justification for voting McCain.

Voting for McCain simply to oppose Obama, because of the bullshit nonsense that the rightwing presents is simply not valid.

McCain has associated himself closely with lobbyists that our own state dept. considers to have done business in direct conflict with American interests.

McCain has aligned himself, PROACTIVELY, with two of the most hate-filled, intolerant, terroristic ministers in the entire country.

McCain himself has been immersed in corruption for decades, narrowly escaping prison for his misdeeds in the 80's.

McCain has flip flopped on virtually every issue of the day, and has completely gutted his former "maverick" image, by voting nearly 100% of the time with his own party.

McCain brazenly and repeatedly LIES, even a mere day or so after a prior comment, as if he either believes that nobody will ever find a copy of his prior comments, or will be too stupid to figure out that he's lying.

I could go on and on and on. The point is, the justifications that this author has presented as his valid reasons for opposing Obama are simply not valid justifications, and he knows it. The dirt on McCain is widely known, especially on this board.

These bogus justifications of his, and his use of racist commentary qualify him as a racist.

Could it be perhaps because you too have your doubts and the best way to ally those fears is by attacking someone who stands up for what he believes in?

How come McCain endorses a commercial using Paris Hilton and its OK but a rap artist...on his OWN does a song endorsing Obama and its BBBBAAAADDD?

And yes chris you can skate around it but the Yo Yo Yo is racist as are you.

Even Lera is uncomfortable with it and she is a smart cookie but I dont see her as a racist.

Lera yes I did and I didnt like it a bit...my point is....Obama did not write or endorse the song.

He cant control what songs are written for or against him any more than McCain or Bush or Cheney or Clinton can.

And bad or not Ludicriuos still has the first amendment right to his freedom of speech.

"Why does not liking Obama and thinking that he wouldn't be a good president make someone a racist, PJS?"

I always hear that but I never hear, "I don't want a black man in the white house", even though I know there are racist people around (I grew up with lots of them, for sure - so I KNOW).

I also said "so many" not "all". I also know that there are people who are not racist who are not voting for Obama. But those people don't make the racists all go away.

I agree with you about the song, Lori. He did come out and condemn the song. However, before that he praised Ludacris. Just like he praised Wright and several other people whom he has now thrown under the bus. I just have to question his judgment.

Well this is moving faster than I can keep up, but I'll start with LArry. Affirmative Action candidate refers to utter lack of qualifications for the job which is running for. If he were a white man he wouldn't have lasted the first two mohts of the primary and you know it. Hardvard Law Review? Wow Now there's an organization that practically invented the term diversification hire. Thanks for proving my point.

And Lera Senator John Warner called....dang whats his name.....the senator from Alaska that is up on corruption charges?

Anyway Warner called him a Hero when the press asked his opinion on the whole deal.

Now can that be interpreted as..if you want to be a hero to the repubs you need to take bribes, let people remodel your house and not report any of it?
People say dumb things.

Just because someone doesn't like Obama does not make them racist. I happen to really dislike the man politically. Would I want him as a neighbor? You bet. Do I want him as my President? Not a chance. People tend to forget that that Obama was raised by a white mother and grandparents in a white neighborhood. His father is NOT 100% black. He did not raise him and no spin can change that. To think that he has the pulse of African Americans is foolish and those who vote for him simply BECAUSE of the color of his skin are wrong. Are some of you truely saying that you don't think that a black person can't be racist? You need to look again! On the other hand, pointing out the positives OR the negatives about a candidate for political office is NOT racism.

Clark though you truly aren't worth responding to as you are so far out of the loop I will deign to point out the most blatant of your lies.
"McCain votes with his party 100% of the time."

Well according to congressional records John McCAin hold the distinct position of voting AGAINST his party more than any other republican.
Just another lie spewed out of that festering wound you call a mouth.

Lera , no matter what justification is used for being against an Obama presidency, his supporters will always attempt to use the racist bludgeon to squelch debate. Their candidate is bereft of experience. They know that thusly they hope to shut you up by calling you bigot.

I told you this was how it would go.

"or should I say Black House as the eloquent MR Ludacris, Obama's favorite rapper, put it?"

I didn't know this, but it's so very interesting to me, because a few months ago, on a political correspondent's post, I joked about it being called the Black House should Obama be elected. My comment was deleted and was declared racist.

How these things do have a way of exposing themselves!

Personally it is wonderful to see Obamadroids come out in legion to show the absolute vacuum of original thought they possess. You notice not one of ALL these posters addresses the issues of the article, rather they fall back on their tried and true crutch; namecalling.

As for the drone who asked about the statistic of 99.8% of african american voters going for Obama. Here's a thought why not check out ANY frikkin poll out there fool?

Not for nothing, but Obama has denounced the rapper's song. I would expect any decent person to do the same.

I've nothing, personally, against B. Hussein Obama. I'm just not willing to turn over the keys to the White House to so naive and inexperienced a person as he.

And, even the New York Times is having to admit to Obama's sliding poll numbers. It seems that most of the U.S. citizenry is far more concerned with domestic issues. The wars have taken a backseat to soaring energy prices, collapsing banks, and the decline of the housing market. That is the primary reason the Senator's trip overseas got so little attention from Mr. & Mrs. Average Citizen back home.

What a shocker that racist little crissy can't seem to respond to my comments. Go figure, huh? Didn't expect that at all.

That's ok, because I can still respond to his racist bullshit.



"Affirmative Action candidate refers to utter lack of qualifications for the job which is running for. If he were a white man he wouldn't have lasted the first two mohts of the primary and you know it."

More racist bullshit. Obama is clearly a brilliant candidate, regardless of how hard it may be for a core racist such as yourself to admit. In every aspect of public service that he's served, he's proven himself extremely well-qualified, and he got there on HIS OWN REGARD, with his brilliant leadership and oratory skills.

To make the comment that he's only where he's at because of affirmative action implies that he's entirely unqualified to be where he's at, and that the only reason he's there is because he was somehow given what some pathetic, racist whites consider an "unfair advantage." This is every bit as racist a comment as the "YO YO YO..." bullshit.

But, I surely wouldn't expect a racist to see the blatant racism in his own words. Racism exists and thrives solely because those who're racist are too ignorant and hate-filled to see the error of their ways.

Both sides of the coin are just as bad chris.

Yesterday I did an article and one of the comments was...If you vote for Obama gas is going to be $10 a gallon.

So I asked the poster where she came up that and she couldnt give me an answer.

Now is she psychic?

"Nothing enrages me more than to be called a racist or a bigot because that could not be further from the truth!"

Same here. Notice how some people, though, such as chris here, don't seem to mind the label? If the shoe fits, I guess. Racism is something that I simply find intolerable in today's society. It's one issue that definitely raises my hackles in a heartbeat.




"Oh so you Clark Kent are the seer of all and the judge and jury to call the kettle black."

I can only call them as I see them. Are you suggesting that I shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion, or to share that opinion with others?



"And why don't you let yourself be known?? "

So, you're real name is "Esther IS Flesh and Blood S., then? Somehow, I find that difficult to believe.



"Afraid or ashamed to show your face Clark?"

My face is shown on a photo in my profile. Is this another weak attempt to somehow marginalize my comments, by any chance? Trust me, it isn't the first time I've seen it, and it didn't work those time, either.
