The concept of tribal warfare conjurs up images of Witch Doctors.

Can anyone guess who’s acting like a Witch Doctor?

You’ve got it backwards. Obama isn’t trying to play UP his race, he is trying to play it DOWN. He’s trying to counter the Bradley affect.

He’s trying to let white voters know that while he is Black, he isn’t one of those radical blacks.

Blacks protesting Obama isn’t black enough sends a signal to “racist whites” that it is really OK to vote for Obama.

Sickening really, when you think about the duplicity involved.

“Staged”? By whom?

Do you think those 20 black activists were pretending to be upset? What would be their motive to do so?

If that is the case Barry blew it by handling them like they were pesky children to be ignored.

So you think Obama paid the “black” protestors as a publicity stunt? That I would believe.

‘’’So you think Obama paid the “black” protestors as a publicity stunt? That I would believe.’’’’

Absolutely, and it was a feeble & obvious attempt.

There is no way you get into those rallies with those signs.
The signs, made little to no sense, with the kkk stuff.
The guys were orderly paid chomps, lacking the usual hysteria.
They got to stay, way too long and exited without a scene.
And most of all, Barry had to bite the sides of his mouth and avert his eyes to keep from cracking up laughing.

Don’t cha remember all the fainting pastey-white women in the spring?
It’s been a long hot summer, why’d they all quit fainting? (it got old)
Or, how about, “Iron my shirt”? (way too obvious of Hillary)

In Obama's case, bad press is better than NO press.

No cell phones or cameras? That is really weird. Do they frisk you like a Superbowl game, or airport screening, or what?

I haven’t been to a rally since 2004, is this the norm for McCain too, or just special coddleing to protect “the annointed One?”

Definitely not the norm for McCain - I've seen after action reports from freepers who attended his rallies, complete with pictures.

There was a thread today on an Obama rally where it talked about the camera and phone ban.
