In most of the news items, the only quote listed is "The Star Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that [expletive]. I'm black."

But I was watching CNN and they played a clip in which he mentioned Obama several times.

Nary a word here however.

No problem Howard. The Start Spangled Banner, the Flag etc are for Americans.

I just happened to catch his rant (including Obama) this morning on the tv. Most people who will read these articles on the net will have no idea he said anything about Obama.

What a worthless piece of human waste. He should go play for a team in Cuba, Iran or North Korea.

Cuban is an idiot, and so is this player. If he doesn’t like America, he can go play in Europe. I won’t pay one nickel to support these people.

What would this guy do, if he were not a professional athlete? Sell pencils at the Dallas airport?

What a child. A spoiled, stupid child.

Now, now, remember this is a mentally-disadvantaged "ute", raised in the depths of poverty caused by rich white racist Republicans and Conservatives. Told by Democrats that he should hate America, that he was a victim of the "system", that he was too stupid to make it without liberals running his life,...that bling, calling women "ho's", selling drugs in the hood, fathering illegitimate children, and having a criminal record were OK with Democrats, he just never had a break!

Now do you understand his plight better you arrogant white racist you!!? (Sarcasm off!)

Oh, has never been proud of his country huh? He should talk to Michelle Obama and see if she couldn’t help him through this.

He sounds like a spoiled little brat.

Howard's dismissive words not at home among the brave stands

And apparently the remarks got worse.

THE FAR-LEFT, MARK CUBAN AND A MOVIE THAT WILL PUT U.S. TROOPS IN MORE DANGER

November 15, 2007
By Bill O'Reilly

As we've been reporting, the movie "Redacted" will be released this week. Only a few theaters will show it, but billionaire Mark Cuban, who financed the film, is pushing the project hard.

Directed by Brian DePalma, the movie graphically shows two drunk U.S. soldiers raping and murdering a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and committing other atrocities. There's little doubt the film will be used by Muslim jihadists to recruit terrorists. And certainly this vile project will create even more hatred around the world toward the USA.

Most anti-war Americans are running for cover over this. Only elements at NBC News have supported the film so far. As you may know, NBC is the most anti-military TV news operation in the country. You'll remember NBC News analyst William Arkin calling U.S. troops in Iraq "mercenaries" and writing that they receive "obscene amenities".

There comes a time in a free society when citizens must take a stand. And this is one of those times. Cuban has a constitutional right to make this piece of garbage. And we have a right to criticize him and anyone who supports the project.

This is not about the Iraq War or any other policy. This is about inciting even more violence against Americans, both military and civilian. Mark Cuban may not be smart enough to figure that out. I don't understand his motivation, but at this point I don't really care.

"Talking Points" is asking all NBA fans to bring "Support The Troops" signs to Dallas Maverick games. Cuban owns that team. And if this revolting movie plays in a theater near you, stand in front of the theater with a "Support The Troops" sign. Already a theater in North Carolina has canceled the showing.

We all need to take a stand on this one, ladies and gentlemen. Over the past few years, I have watched as far-left loons have denigrated America over Iraq, have dishonestly portrayed the war on terror, have blamed the USA for just about everything bad in the world, and have insulted the military time after time.

As we reported last night, liberals are not doing this. Far-left fools are. And Mark Cuban is certainly a member of that group. Obviously, our men and women overseas are making a great sacrifice. And even if you disagree with the war on terror policy, we all owe our troops support and encouragement. Any American who would harm our military people must be confronted. And that's why I'm spending so much time on Mark Cuban.

This man is hurting our troops and helping the terrorists, period.

It has taken some time for the spoiled rich - Oprah and now J Ho (as he is called in Dallas) to be exposed for the white hating that they say in private. Thanks to Obama we know see that was hidden and we are relieved of our burdens.

No different than nearly all entertainers and Democrats. They are they most insolent, ignorant children in adult bodies this world has ever seen. Take Obama's lipstick comment. Yes it was sexist and personal but what gets me scratching my head is that they think this playground insult is somehow a hilarious bit of humor.
