151. Thanks kpete for the thread...Thanks Nancy for your "rebuke" of POTUS

The two people most responsible for the criminalization of marijuana are Harry Anslinger and William Randolph Hearst.

Anslinger promoted and read from "Gore Files" -- "wild reefer-madness-style exploitation tales of ax murderers on marijuana.and sex, and...Negroes.".
Here are some quotes that have been attributed to Anslinger and his 'Gore Files':
"There are 100,000 total marijuana users in the US and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use.This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is it's effect on the degenerate races."
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."

"Anslinger got some additional help from William Randolph Hearst, owner of a huge chain of newspapers.
Hearst had lots of reasons to help. First, he hated Mexicans. Second, he had invested heavily in the timber industry to support his newspaper chain, and he didn't want to see the development of hemp paper in competition.
Third, he had lost 800,000 acres of timberland to Pancho Villa, so he REALLY hated Mexicans.
Fourth, telling lurid lies about Mexicans (and the devil marijuana weed causing violence) sold newspapers, making him rich."

Obama's attitude on marijuana is totally "in sync" with the racist views of both Anslinger and Hearst; and will possibly cost him millions of votes this November, since the American people overwhelmingly support the use of medicinal pot.
