[AlCzervik]

are you all seeing this?

[AlCzervik]

1. with KKK signs.

[Virginia Dare]

76. There should be a law against being that stupid...n/t

[redwitch]

84. Fred Phelps illegitimate children?

Do they hate FAGS too?

Honestly, what will the repubs think of next?

[Sugarcoated]

2. What the hell????

All I see on the isgns is KKK???

[AlCzervik]

4. yeah, classy folks. Obama handled it well.

[Cha]

97. Could you give us a little synopsis of how

Obama handled it, crs? For those of us who had to work through it?:) THAnks!

[tridim]

3. WTF? Who is paying these self hating blacks?

[demokatgurrl]

59. Gee... I wonder.... hey, look at that pic in your post>>>>>>n/t

[jonnyblitz]

91. so if I don't vote for McCain I am a self hating white?

some of you are fucking nuts. :crazy:

[tridim]

96. Are you in a group called "Whites against McCain"?

Think before you post.

[jeffrey_X]

5. Wat?

more details please.

[AlCzervik]

9. a group of black people holding up signs reading "Blacks against Obama" with KKK

and something else written on them.

[LibraLiz1973]

70. I never thought I'd see the day when African Americans would do anything supportive of the KKK

That is beyond sad

[CATagious]

75. reminds me of the Dave Chappelle character...

that is black but doesn't know it because he is blind. And he is a leader of the KKK! Of course at the end of the skit he finds out he is black and divorces his wife for being a 'n#@#% lover'. Pretty funny.

[Virginia Dare]

78. Just when you think repukes can't stoop any lower..

really could there be anything more hateful than this?

[Sugarcoated]

19. And a smile

water off a ducks ass.

Unbelievable.

[AlCzervik]

26. the crowd looked horrified for real.

[bigtree]

6. hilarious

Obama: "let's get back to work"

[five_horizons]

22. A group of about 10 or so protesters held up anti-Obama signs

One of the signs had the letters KKK on it, there was other stuff written on it but I couldn't make it out. All of the protesters were black. After a minute or two they all walked out of the arena together.

Weird.

[bigtree]

42. fraternity prank

kids! whatcha gonna do?

[secondwind]

87. maybe the Repugs just paid some homeless, down-and-out guys to do this.

[graywarrior]

7. Sickening.

[Lancer]

8. You beat me to the thread title

Yup. This is a little scary.

[onefreespiritedchick]

Wow, that was deep! n/t

[cliffordu]

10. OK. Now I'm REALLY confused.

[AlCzervik]

11. you ain't the only one, did you see them? Maybe 10 total all holding up signs.

[democracy1st]

63. can u plz give details on the location,channel etc

[AlCzervik]

67. here you go

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/19/protesters-interrupt-obama/

[bunnies]

12. Since when does the KKK accept AAs as members?

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

16. there was something written next to the KKK but i couldn't make it out.

[bunnies]

40. Oh, I see.

So maybe they're just siding with the KKK? Geezus. This is insane.

[Virginia Dare]

79. Maybe this is the republicon unity rally?...n/t

[quakerboy]

102. Idiots. I wonder how much they are being paid.

As I read them, "obama endorsed by the KKK".

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7123984


I am tending towards thinking they were paid. But I suppose they could be radicals. Either in the line with Log Cabin republicans, or in the other direction, angry that Obama isn't part of the more militant end of the spectrum(the "jesse jackson hates Obama" sign made me think of that).

[jenmito]

23. When they're blind and don't know they're Black-like the Dave Chapelle skit...

or when they're Republicans.

[bunnies]

35. I thought of that skit right away too.

heh. This just seems SO bizarre to me.

[jenmito]

41. I'm glad SOMEONE knows what I'm talking about!

:hi: Yeah-strange.

[bunnies]

56. lol. I was trying to think of a 'safe' part of it to quote...

but of course, there isnt one. :hi:


Clayton Bigsby :rofl:

[jenmito]

57. That's the truth!

And that's the guy (as the character we're talking about.) :hi:

[bunnies]

58. Yep.

In this case, a picture really *is* worth a thousand words. :P

[chitty]

13. Looks like it was some kind of

religious fundie group.

[kentuck]

14. Republican dirty trick?

Who do you think organized it??

[WinkyDink]

25. Ya THINK?! Some local jerk made signs and went to some day-labor place, is my thought.

[CJCRANE]

88. Yes, all the signs seem to have the same hand-writing! nt

[Lancer]

30. I think there were closer to 20 signs

(I could be wrong.) KKK was on a lot of them, also "Blacks Against Obama." Something about Jesse Jackson, too. Couldn't make that one out.

[GoesTo11]

99. No logic too them. Quite odd.

[CJCRANE]

72. Could be a Rovian stunt

because of the protesters against McCain and Palin.

It's exactly the kind of counter-intuitve idea that he would think up (even if it wasn't him this time).

[Virginia Dare]

80. Nah, Rove's not that stupid...

at least the low class shit he does makes sense.

[MagickMuffin]

92. I bet you would have a Roger Stone under that rock

Next question: How much do you think he paid them?.?.?

[WinkyDink]

15. And probably were paid less than minimum wage to be there, too.

[LiberadorHugo]

17. If there are Catholics stupid enough to back Palin, a Catholic "saved" from Hell...

It goes to reason that there would be a few people of every demographic stupid or self-hating enough to struggle against their own interests.

[oviedodem]

18. THese would be the folks that are on the extreme side of equal rights

[scheming daemons]

20. HAHA... this actually helps Obama look better

[AlCzervik]

24. he handled it really well and so did the crowd.

[Max_powers94]

21. They were paid by the Repugs to pull this off....As an AA I am sooo piss right now!!!!

[onefreespiritedchick]

27. Yes, they had to be paid...

What a sellout.

[ellacott]

33. It's a possibility that they weren't paid

I know one of the persons who protested one of Obama's earlier events. He was very proud of himself. There are still some blacks who still feel he isn't black enough.

[SweetieD]

66. I'm with you. It infuriates me. But for the right amount of money there are a lot of people who woul

would sell themselves out.

[rucky]

28. and now, for your Moment of Zen....

[LynneSin]

29. Honestly - republicans probably paid for 10 people to hold those signs

I wouldn't hold that past him.

[KingFlorez]

31. Now all the Freepers and right-wingers will be touting this as something big

FAUX News will do an exclusive on how this shows Obama is losing black support.

[JuniperLea]

WTF?

This is pretty sick.

[knixphan]

32. (shaking my head)

Is it ok to be black and say 'Oy vey'?

I need to get those protesters in a room with no cameras. 'Funded by the KKK?' WTF?

[leftynyc]

61. Oy Vey has become universal

Yiddish is a very descriptive language and here in New York, everyone uses it. And this one definitley calls for an OY VEY in big six foot letters.

[knixphan]

62. hell yes!

Also, shout-out from a nyc transplant! (In L.A. now)

[vaberella]

34. If you see Black people with a KKK sign, you know they got paid.

No sane or normal Black person would so something like that. They were paid well for their services.

[AlCzervik]

37. i don't know what was written along with the KKK, i don't think they were claiming

they supported the KKK obviously but something about it.

[vaberella]

47. Ahhh....Do you think they might have linked Obama to the KKK?! n/t

[cwydro]

101. Well, I am white and you could not pay me to hold a KKK sign;

there is nothing you could pay me, so there must be something I just don't get here.

[Jennicut]

36. Their signs read that Obama is backed by the KKK or something like that

Weirdest protesters I have ever seen. Obama would never support the KKK. Just bizarre and weird. Oh well, probably paid by Rethugs.

[AlCzervik]

39. yes something like that, very weird.

[bunnies]

45. Now I've officially heard everything.

:banghead:

[Sebastian Doyle]

95. Probably a reference to an old article from a UK site called "The Daily Squib"

http://www.dailysquib.co.uk/?c=117&a=1227

Of course the morons may not realize that The Squib is a British version of "The Onion". In other words, it's satire. Fake. Not real... like Bush's election, or Palin's qualifications for office.

Of course, as you'll see by the comments section over there, a lot of people took that article seriously. :puke:

[Critters2]

38. I saw. Couldn't figure out what the hell was going on!! Blacks with kkk signs.

Very strange.


But, in general, I was really pleased at the turn out and enthusiasm at the rally.

[willbbalin]

54. .

The signs said "The KKK backs Obama" one read somewhere to the extent of obama is a baby killer on abortion, Im watching CSPAN so they zoomed right into the distraction

[EffieBlack]

43. Just follow the money . . .

I sincerely doubt that these people organized and gathered on their own accord.

[Critters2]

44. CNN talking about it now. The KKK signs said "Obama endorsed by the KKK".

Very, very strange.

[AlCzervik]

46. oh yeah i'm sure the KKK loves him, i'll be discussing that at my Jews for Hitler meeting tonight.

[vaberella]

53. Well some members of thet KKK did endorse him. Apparently his presidency will hasten the race war.

It's ludicrous and in my opinion another way to scare people into voting McCain. This shit is a set up because of the GM shit that happened to McCain.

What did Obama say about this rally?

[Whalestoe]

77. Uhhh, no...

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/kkk.asp

[mamalone]

48. wow... that is just so sad...

[iamthebandfanman]

49. endorsed by the KKK ?

yeah, you know those violent racists... they love 'half breeds'

[AlCzervik]

52. someone just posted info about the group--link here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7119634

[vaberella]

55. Oh so they're the FUNDIES?! Pro-life freakozoids. Nothing of importance then. n/t

[asdjrocky]

50. One word-

Dobson.

[Jennicut]

51. On another thread, it is being said that they are part of James Dobson's anti abortion crew

[FloridaGrl]

60. Sometimes

we blacks do shoot ourselves in the foot. No matter what these rethugs try they will not stop us from coming out in droves to support Obama. If the msm plays this up then they don't understand the black community that trying to divide us will only make us more united. The republicans are trying to manufacture division but we are UNITED! This is pointless. ENOUGH!!!

[Cha]

64. Good to hear, FloridaGrl!

Welcome to DU!

[FloridaGrl]

89. Thanks

[vanderBeth]

65. With KKK signs?

:wtf:

[lonestarnot]

81. Were any of them blind?

[CatsDogsBabies]

68. Here is a link to the clip

The crowd shouted "Yes We Can" over the protesters then cheered when the protesters left.

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=178233

[Obamarulz11]

69. the link

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=178233

[LibraLiz1973]

71. Maybe I am too emotional right now- but that is the first thing

that has happened this campaign that made me burst in to tears.
Literally sickening.

BE black and BE against Obama, if that's what you want.
But the KKK? Making an ass out of yourself at a rally?

WTF?

I loved the way he handled it. Classy.

[CJCRANE]

73. Reminds me of Fred Phelps...

it's just totally against common sense.

[AlCzervik]

74. don't let it get you down, it was upsetting because it was just so weird but you're right

Obama handled it well and so did the horrified crowd. If that happened to a rwinger they would have beaten on the spot.

[LibraLiz1973]

82. I'm not down in that I think he will lose

I am just sad to see how low people will stoop.

[Virginia Dare]

83. I wish we could say we've probably seen the worst..

but unfortunately we probably haven't. This is beyond sickening.

[Thrill]

85. This helps Obama more than it hurts

[Cha]

86. Actually a good thing..'cause this ain't

about Black or White..it's about fookin' Democracy and Obama Biden's got it ALL, Baby!

[Kind of Blue]

90. check out this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7119727

[AspenRose]

93. Damn I miss all the fun

I don't know what to say :wow:

Except those who were holding the signs better have their flame retardant suits on; they are going to get an earful from the community at large via black media

I can't wait to see what Daily Show/Colbert does with THIS.


Can. Not. Wait. :rofl:

[Obamarulz11]

94. The Miami Herald debunked the interruption

Obama at UM: `It's time for resolve'


[e-mail]

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama campaigned in South Florida Friday for the first time in three months amid what he called ''the most serious financial crisis in generations,'' telling a crowd dominated by women that his Republican rival failed to understand their struggles.

Speaking to a nearly packed house of more than 7,000 people at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center, Obama poked fun at McCain for speaking positively about the ''fundamentals'' of the economy and proposing a new regulatory agency for financial institutions.

''I think it's clear Sen. McCain is a little panicked right now,'' Obama said to the delight of the raucous crowd.

The reaction echoed the sentiment among many Democrats that the nation's economic woes could shake up the race and repel voters from McCain, who is trying to distance himself from the unpopular Bush administration.

''This isn't a time for fear or pain,'' Obama said. ``It's a time for resolve, and it's a time for leadership.''

Polls in Florida show a tight race. Obama is slated to headline rallies Tuesday in Daytona Beach and Jacksonville.

Obama accused the GOP of wanting to ''talk about Paris and Britney and lipstick and pigs,'' but the splashy ads of recent weeks have disappeared as Wall Street has reeled from shock.

98. Those guys were dressed as day laborers, not political activists

Baggy pants, t-shirts, baseball caps, and you could see they didn't care. I'd bet almost surely they were just paid to show up and do it. They did not look like African Americans furious about KKK or religious issues. More like unemployed men in their 20s doing what they thought they had to for a good buck.

[crazy_vanilla]

100. W T F ????

I am not saying they should be for Obama, but at least don't inject race into it :nuke:

We've been working so hard to see people as people, not ethnicities and colors. This sets us back 50 years.
