Re: “While you were at it, why did you bring that post over here?”

So people would (hopefully) circulate and re-post it as an example of the kind of material that Obama’s campaign tolerates on a site that is under its editorial control, and so people can see what kind of following Obama seems to attract. The same strategy crippled MoveOn.org in 2006 by forcing it to take down its Action Forum. Obama can’t afford to take down My.Barackobama.com, so we should do our best to make sure he can’t afford to keep it up either.

I have reams of hateful and other offensive content from that site, all under Barry’s official campaign picture. I and others are circulating that. It is turning into a major embarrassment. This particular one is all over the place, e.g. World Net Daily.

Let Barry explain how this stuff gets on his site, and why it is allowed to remain there.

“What does that post being on Obama’s sight say to you?”

His campaign attracts anti-Semites (and also misogynists, ageists, and racists, per other material I have seen) the way a dumpster attracts flies.

“What do you think we should draw from it?”

The hate speech at MyBO is consistent with the kind of people and groups (MoveOn.org, Pfleger, Wright, Sharpton, and a church that cheered Pfleger’s racist tirade) with whom Obama surrounds himself, at least until they become embarrassments to him—then they go under the bus.

Is this post still up on Obama’s sight right now?

Let me rephrase that. How long did this post remain up on the forum?

The person that posted it is history. So is the post.
