Washington Post: Hate Group's Newest Target (Whitey is racist, Wright's Church is Not!)
Washington Post ^ | June 22, 2008 | Eli Saslow

Posted on 06/22/2008 7:05:54 PM PDT by GOPGuide

Sen. Barack Obama's historic victory in the Democratic primaries, celebrated in America and across much of the world as a symbol of racial progress and cultural unity, has also sparked an increase in racist and white supremacist activity, mainly on the Internet, according to leaders of hate groups and the organizations that track them.

KEYWORDS: hussein; obama; wright
Funniest line in the article:

"Obama has worked hard to minimize the issue of race in his presidential campaign. When asked about divisiveness and hate, he talks instead about ways in which unity between blacks and whites has inspired him. He chose to "reject and denounce" an endorsement from Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan. Obama quit his church after his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., spoke of racism and oppression in the "United States of white America."

Har Har Har, racism for whitey, but not for Obama's mentor Rev. Wright say the "Hate montioring groups".

For someone who said that race would not play a factor in his campaign, he sure does toss that card out a lot.

Well we all know that anyone not planning on voting for Obama is a racist, sexist, homophobic, hatemongering tool of the Corporate military establishment forwarded by Bush to make money for Haliburton...

Correct me if I’m wrong but Obama didn’t repudiate his church, associates, or endorsements from radicals and racists until there was controversy about his association with those people.

As long as no one was looking, he didn’t have a problem with these people or what they said, in fact he embraced their ideas.

Who is the real radical racist and political opportunist?

Why oh why if the democrat party wanted to run a black man, which would be just fine despite what “Pastor Wright” teaches, did they choose a racist, Marxist, anti-semite? They must believe they can manipulate this entire election based on lies and contrived guilt. I guess we’ll see.

They’re starting to freak out. Philly.com has a big story about how nobody really cares that Southside Barry went back on his campaign reform promise. Meanwhile, I’m having fun playing “double liberal” with my lib associates. I tell them from Barry’s seal and his plan to replace the WH bowling alley with hoops, it’s obvious he’s already won the election! Natureally, they’d like to agree with me, but they’re not sure. When they tell me we can’t drill our way out of the oil problem, I tell them (cheerfully now) “Maybe President Obama will outlaw cars altogether, to save the planet.” They read in their papers (see AP world is out of control story) about how horrible everything is, so why isn’t Barry ahead by 30 points? What’s wrong with this picture?

If this is the feeling and we white folk are still card carrying racists, in the opinion of some blacks, then maybe it is time to dump affermative action..just junk it..

Odd thing...blacks wanted intergration and demonstrated and fought for it and finally got it. They were wronged all those years ago but not by most whites of today..we never had slaves . The sad thing is, that the generations keep perpetuating this racism issue where whites have long since tried to move on and work together not just with the black population but with other races as well. With the Black community, and even in Congress they demand segregation..black cacucs, there once was Miss Black America even though there had been some beautiful black women already Miss America, there are the black student unions and so on..so what did all the bussing get us? What did all the protest marches and support by many white folks earn? All the pain and suffering by whites and blacks alike in the cause of desegregation get us? It seems maybe not a damn thing.

Yeah they are. And it is wonderful, if bizarre, to watch. :)

Can you imagine four years of the media screaming “RACISM” everytime somebody gives Messiah a dirty look? Unbelievable.

That Russellville, Ark group would be far better off to simply go a way north to Newton and Madison counties and get interviews from Obama’s cousins to determine just how many of them were Faubus(D) supporters and publish their testimonials—Whitewater country too. What Orville Faubus—a former manager of Dogpatch—did for the farkelberry bush was a good thing or not? Etc..

There is no doubt our country would be a great risk if we allow Obama anywhere near the White House!!

David Duke, a former Louisiana state representative and a longtime advocate of racial segregation, said hits to his Web site have doubled and that more organizations now request him as a guest speaker.

I know that's true. The same thing happened when California Proposition 209 (ending affirmative action) was on the ballot.

Opponents of ending affirmative action invited Duke and paid him $4,000 (I believe) to argue for Prop. 209. Lots of MSM employees covered the debate and nary a nickel spent for the anti-Prop 209 ads.

Get it?

The Democrats love to use the phrase “politics of fear” to accuse GWB.

This is exactly what they are doing now. Read this article again, and you will see it is all hearsay and conjecture. The left and Obama are just creating a bit of a “Nazi Scare” to motivate their side move the middle to their side if possible.

The blog Sweetness and Light completely DEBUNKS this story as a LIE.

http://sweetness-light.com/

There ARE internet ratings, and they show that there is no surge in web hits at the two largest hate group web sites. It's a totally made up story, and the idiot authors didn't even bother to check the facts, obviously.

The Wash Compost ( old media )and Obama want to shut down the Internet and they mean business. These leftist are now tryinbg to build a case to regulate the internet of Obama seizes power and then the left will decide what is shut down. I suspect Matt Drudge is acting like an OBama 527 because he wants to stay open after the radical left takes over. Where are all those MCCain haters on this post ?
Take a good look at what the OBama ,the Left ,and the old media plan to do.

Obama's people would have Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity arrested for "hate speech" and "racism" if he gets into office. Meanwhile, Obama's media would demonize their audiences as a bunch of monsters.

I am praying that McCain doesn't blow it before November gets here.

There's an old saying that goes, "Fear the government that fears its citizens armed."

You post put in in mind of a new "old saying", "Fear the government that fears its citizen web access."

The MSM employees will flood the public with these "racists oppose Obama" stories now through the election.

The purpose of course is to label Obama's opponents as racists by association.

It's the same little trick that the opponents of California's Prop 209 used; to wit, they invited David Duke and paid him well to speak in favor of Prop 209 thus associating supporters of 209 with white supremacists.

The employees of the MSM are trying to make these phony associations a macaca moment. IMO.

They really tried to make hay of Stormfront having a “white pride” theme. Look, Stormfront is a bunch of feckless imbeciles and the only reason I ever went to the site was to prove Ron Paul had donation banners on the site. I think it is hypocritical to refer to Stormfront as Racist (which they are), but not Trinity (Which also is). Trinity’s mission statement, which they have since altered, was worse than Stormfronts. If that is not a source of shame for Trinity and for the “Communist Who Would be King”, then they are obviously without shame. How many of the “new” hits of the 40k are Obama supporters (See:Communists) just looking for racists. If they wanted to find racists it would be just as east to visit Trinity on Sunday. I would also point out that John McCain did not spend 20 years at Stormfront. Game, Set, Match.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Somebody sent me this e-mail:

Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....

As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.

'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''

A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?

B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?

F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital

I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it.

The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like OJ. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

Jay Leno

Please keep this in circulation. There are so many people who need to read this and grasp the truth of it all

Blackey can’t keep racism at a fever pitch? Guess what; that would put the NAACP, rainbow push, and the whole, worthless lot of them out of business. They need a perceived state of rampant racism like a junkie needs a fix.
