If You Don’t Look Like Obama’s Son, No One Cares

The news story is horrifying: after a trivial encounter with a group of youths who were playing basketball, a man in Mobile, Alabama, was set upon by a gang of twenty men armed with brass knuckles, chairs, pipes and paint cans. The victim, Matthew Owens, was attacked on his own front porch and beaten within an inch of his life. He is in critical condition and may die: As the gang walked away after assaulting Owens, one of them said, “Now that’s justice for Trayvon.” (Jim Treacher) comments:

Hey, that’s what he gets for having a similar skin color to someone we’ve all been instructed to hate.

Well done, Spike Lee. Nice job, NBC. Keep up the good work, ABC. And to everyone else who’s been using a shooting in Florida to foment hate and divide people by the color of their skin, kudos. Don’t let this attack, and similar attacks across America, bother you. If you had a conscience, we never would’ve heard of you in the first place.

Well, it won’t bother them; we know that. It certainly won’t bother Barack Obama. Matthew Owens doesn’t look like his son, and there are no votes to be had. For Obama, if it doesn’t help his re-election campaign, it doesn’t exist. Whether he likes it or not, however, I think incidents like this one, which have multiplied all across America, will hurt Obama in the fall. Millions of Americans voted for Obama in part because they thought his election would put racial division to rest, or at least contribute to that goal. But the opposite has happened. Obama has been an extraordinarily divisive president; neither he nor others in his administration, like Eric Holder, have ever hesitated to foment race hatred when they thought it would serve the Democrats’ political interests. As it turned out, Obama’s election represented a setback for race relations in the United States, an outcome that virtually no one foresaw. This is just one way–but perhaps an important one–in which voters are disillusioned with Obama.

If there were ever a doubt about the influence the Rev. Wright had on Obama and his wife, this should clear up any questions about the Obama racism often displayed...this man does not belong in the White House...VOTE this RACIST OUT!

Bingo. It appears they wasted their vote.
Hopefully, they'll learn from all this - never trust the democrat party to be honest with you.

Matthew Owen may not look like obama’s son, but the mob looks like his aunts and uncles.

When Eric and Barack ignore crimes in which whites are beaten by blacks, it makes one wonder if this is pay back. And, what is just as immoral is the media turning a blind eye.

About 20 African American adults beat Owens into critical condition on Saturday night after an argument between the victim and some kids at a local basketball court, witnesses said.

One person claimed that Owens spewed racial slurs at the group and even pulled out two knives, according to WPMI.

"It was like kitchen knives," witness David Dinkins told the station. "They were long."

Another witness, Lemicka Whisenhunt, quoted Owens as saying "he's going to lynch all the black kids, he hates black n---ers, he hates that we moved on this street."

Police aren't saying much about the incident Saturday, but they and mayor Sam Jones said the attack is not being investigated as a hate crime, or even a race issue.

That's their story, and they're sticking to it.

So what do we have to do to get politicians to start asking why Eric Holder is allowed to pick and choose the crimes he goes after? Why are they not raising hell about Holder not prosecuting the NBP for inciting a riot, treason for calling for the overthrow of the US government and the NBP conspiring to murder Zimmerman?

Go after the RINOs as hard as we do the democrats. Washington needs an overhaul. It's gotten out of the citizens control. RINO Republicans in Washington believe they're deities now - just like the democrats.

If you look like 0bama's brother 0bama doesn't care.

[Son-Joshua]

Yes, I agree (mention by not mentioning)

[cookcounty]

200+ Mexicans (who don’t look like Barack)dead from DOJ’s ATF Gunwalking to Drug Cartels,........

.....and Obama and Holder completely undisturbed.

(By the way, The IG “internal investigation” of Fast and Furious, run by one of Holder’s pals, has now entered its 16th month)
