Obama’s Campaign Tightens Control of Image and Access

I wonder why he considers himself black when his mother was White and his black father abandoned him? He talks about “Dreams of My Father” and searching for his black identity. It appears that the only dreams his father had were scoring with a stupid White chick and flyin’ the coop.

Cue up Christopher Guest singing The Middle Class Liberal Well Intentioned Blues (from National Lampoon Radio Hour).

Ok so who has the burkahs ?

This would be a perfect Obama freep.

I hope that the Obammy campaign decides to deal fairly, politically correctly and multiculturally with all the poor downtrodden Muslims and Islamofascists that will be voting for him by showing as many turbaned, bearded, stupidly head scarfed Muslim women, etc. as possible on the platform with him and his lovely wife Michelle.

I know it would really make me want to vote for him

Welcome to the New Politics.

Yep. Some asian girl showed up to an event early to get a good seat behind the podium, and she was told to move by his "handlers" and replaced by a white person.

Anyone that concerns themselves that much with the racial makeup of those who will be seen on camera, is an out and out racist of the worst order.

What would people say if David Duke, in an attempt to show his "diversity," told white people to get up out of their seats so they could be replaced by black people? The press would freak! But not when their demi-god does it, and does it more than one time.

Obeymao is a dangerous SOB.

One of the challenges that we are confronting very directly is dealing with the rumors and the e-mails, the inaccurate information about Senator Obama

So hiding him away from the electorate is going to help resolve the problem?

URGENT

Please pass this on to other FReepers who might be able to chime in or give some advise on this... kindly advise here or Freepmail.

I've been told personally in the last few days that regardless of where I am - I am still subject to US law with regards to what I post with regards to Barack Obama - factual or not, posts or any correspondence of mine concerning a "US presidential candidate" that might be considered to be possibly inciteful or hateful are taken seriously.

What the hell is this about?

[Ronin]

He’s not going to be able to keep that up forever, is he? He has to debate McCain sometime.

“Welcome to the New Politics.”

How new is it if NatLamp had this going? “Radio Hour” was done back in the mid-70’s, wasn’t it? (see below)

Who told you that — and the only US law that applies is the 1st Amendment.

The 1st Amendment specifically protects political speech.

Post away.

Well, that settles it...Fox Friend Alisyn Camerota was just on a screaming rant that Barry Hussein is NOT a Muslim, he is a Christian, he has always been a Christian his whole life and the poor thing has even had to start a website to stop these evil smears and you can read her blog to see all the horrible things that people are writing about him every day. Well, I guess we know who she is voting for (not like we had any doubt).

“The Obama campaign is vigilantly fighting erroneous information that has spread on the Internet that he is Muslim”

The Obama campaign is vigilantly fighting correct information that has spread on the Internet that he is a zero accomplishment leftwing junior Senator with a lifetime history of associating with radicals, socialists and extremists.

To do so, they are using some exaggerations as a strawman to argue that *any* criticism of Obama is false and phony.

Obama is not a Muslim.

MCA-27024 from 1972. Featuring Christopher Guest. I’m looking at this album now. I’ll have to see if the “plus much, much more” includes this tune. Freegards,

He proclaims himself to be a Christian. When and where was he baptized?

[weegee]

Momma was an atheist and daddy was a non-observant muslim.

How’d he get raised as a Christian?

[Miss Didi]

Beats me...but Alisyn knows and took over the segment with her claims.
