RezkoWatch FactChecker: Klein: Obama yanked Black Panther subdomain

::reported March 18, 2008, that the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) maintained a page within the official website of 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). On the evening of March 19, 2008, Klein reported Obama's campaign had "yank from its official website ... an endorsement from the black supremacist" NBPP. According to NBPP's national chairman, Klein reported, it "was for 'understandable political reasons'."

"'It's the game of politics,' the NBPP's Malik Zulu Shabazz told WND. 'The Obama camp's move to remove our blog doesn't mean much because I understand politics. We still completely support Obama as the best candidate.'

"Shabbaz, who has given scores of speeches condemning 'white men' and Jews, stated today Obama 'is the best guy to bring the kinds of racial changes supported by our community at the New Black Panthers'," Klein wrote.

But following publicity about the web posting, Obama's campaign removed the NBPP page.

"It's our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence," explained Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor to FoxNews.com.

Before the campaign removed the party's page, Obama spokeswoman Tiffany Edwards told FoxNews.com that section of the website "has nothing to do with us."

"People can form their own groups," she said. "It's not something that the campaign – it's not something that we've done."

Don't worry. The Black Panthers don't want you.

7. how do you explain this?
An astute RezkoWatcher pointed out that the NBPP could only maintain a page at BarackObama.com—the "Official Website of Barack Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign"—with the permission of the Obama campaign. This Whois search for the domain name BarackObama.com clearly shows ownership, as well as identifies MoveOn.org as a "related site". The "New Black Panther Party" page is a subdomain of the official website; only the owner (or authorized web person) of the site can create a subdomain. It is directly on (i.e. part of) Obama's web site..

how do you explain this?

45. what is the subdomain?
A subdomain is the prefix to the main domain name. For example, john kerry has a subdomain on kos; it's http://john-kerry.dailykos.com/

Looking through the links on rezkowatch, (all which point to WorldNetDaily articles by the way :eyes: ), there is *mention* of a subdomain, but no actual statement of what the subdomain is. There is a link to the now-deleted blog page:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/dashboard/public/gGrXCt

but, in this case the *subdomain* is .. "my".

Any asshole can make blog posts on barackobama.com. Register here.

14. that's not how it works.
go see for yourself. You can create whatever you want there. You're supposed to adhere to the rules and if you don't and they find out, you get tossed. It's that simple. Now hilly is running a top down campaign and isn't interested in the voices of the "little people" so she doesn't have to contend with the inevitable small messes that running a grassroots campaign entails.

Oh, and could you be anymore desperate? You're much like the Obama supporter posting crap about sexual harassment. It's just pathetic.

16. Because that approval is automatic
They are assuming people who will use their site are folks who support the campaign in ways they won't have to disavow. By and large, that's true.

How is that possible? Well, according to what you posted:

"People can form their own groups," she said. "It's not something that the campaign – it's not something that we've done."

You've been using the Internet long enough to understand that there's a difference between what a webmaster does and what the Obama campaign decides as a matter of policy. Just look at DU! Is DU responsible for Freeper trolls? Why hold Obama's site--or any site--to a standard that's higher than DU?

22. your astute watcher is incorrect
Register at Daily Kos. You'll get a subdomain just like that. And you don't have to talk to anyone at DKos to do it. Kos would never know.

You could create the account imasockpuppet. You'd get the subdomain imasockpuppet.dailykos.com

42. cali, I went and looked to see what I could find about it and I did find the images on Obama's site.
Then a spokesperson named Tommy Vietor(sp)from Obama's campaign spoke and said they took the image down. Then they interviewed Malik Shabizz, the man who calls himself a Black Panther and said he does support and endorsed Obama. Thats all I know and from looking they have taken the image down from Obama's site.

Does anyone know who Tommy Vietor or Malik Shabizz is? I have never heard of them?

A lot of ignorant people believe all the scary media propaganda about The Black Panthers. The organization was formed to protect people who were being beaten, shot, and imprisoned.

53. How many people are aware that the NRA advised the Panthers and Rob Williams?
Strange bedfellows. It's also funny how few gun control laws there were outside of the deep south until movements like the Panthers started arming themselves -- guns were fine for suburban whites, but nothing in the world scares them more than a black person holding one.
