ll day yesterday, the pundits told us that exposure of the borderline obscene, nakedly racist advertising plan put together
on the dime of millionaire crackpot Joe Ricketts to resurrect that
Jeremiah Wright issue for the 2012 campaign was going to drain
all similar poisons from the election. Sunlight. Disinfectant. The whole
thing.
Fat chance.
As much as it may harsh the mellow
of Willard Romney, this kind of thing has become such an inherent part
of the way his party does its business that he might as well decide that
he no longer wants the Republicans represented by an elephant. The
"Ricketts Plan" may be dead, but you've got career charlatan Ed Klein
out there pimping his latest garbage. (Yesterday, Arianna's joint bit
for Klein's claim that the Obamas were heading for divorce court after
the president lost a congressional race to Bobby Rush. Klein's book is
now called "controversial," which, of course, makes anything in it
"newsworthy.") And Drudge went all red-light-alarmy this morning over a
report that appears to be a misunderstanding involving the president's
original literary agent.
This is likely going to be the most obviously racist presidential campaign the country has seen since people went out a'whispering
about Warren Harding's black ancestry. Even if Willard Romney has the
stones to unequivocally denounce the entire network dedicated to
boosting this stuff into the mainstream, which he doesn't now and never
will, he can't stop it. It's a feature of conservative politics, not a
bug.
COMMENTS
Indeed, the most
racial, hateful and character assasination on a sitting president is
being pursued by persons so set on the destruction of a man, not because
of his inability to lead, but because he is a first Black president.
These people who have committed themselves to this heinous endeavor are
creating the pits of hell. These people are as racial as it can get.
They are creating absolute mayhem and diversity among all parties and
theological groups. I have seen it in my family. President Obama is a
good human being, graceful, intelligent and absolutely presidential.
It's time for the haters, racists and Obstructionists to come to their
senses. American cannot prosper nor move ahead with these sort actions.
If we are to move this country ahead and defeat the economical and job
problems facing this country, a positive, united stand must prevail
among all peoples.

Gop is not against
Black at all, or even a Black President as long as it one of theirs
where their $$$$ supremity can browbeat and exploit them. Republican
Corporate America pay huge sums to ad agencies to ensure their adverts
appeal and sell their goods to allcolors. Its about winning to put more
tea in their pot.

If the President was white he’d win 65% - 35%.
Too many male, pale and stale southerners speak without knowing what they are saying. On a per capita basis the south draws more “entitlements” than any other part of the country, and 14 southern states have childhood poverty in excess of 20%. They are hardly a good example for any of the rest of us. Here’s the trouble: Until ol’ Bubba-Bob discovers that his pappy was lyin’ to him when he told him the confederate flag flies over our Capitol, and “Dixie” is our national anthem, he’ll continue to be dirt poor, and he’ll keep on blaming everyone but himself and his liken.
Sleazy conservatives and their Bible totin’, Penthouse readin’, hooker propositionin’ Klavern of pastors are using the “men” of the south. Why just the other day I watched as a young man at a checkout stand looked up to the man he was with and said, “Uncle Dad, why did you get mad at the mad for not allowing you to buy Billie Beer with food stamps”? Oops, that’s a different story.
