NOTE TO MEDIA: when interviewing "BLACKS AGAINST OBAMA" ask three questions. . .

[wndycty]

. . .who funds you? Who organized you? May we meet the the folks who organized you?

[quiet.american]

1. Hello. As an African-American myself, that's exactly what I think when I see them .nt

[wndycty]

3. Yeah, I say give them the attention they want. ALL OF THE ATTENTION. . .

. . .who they are? Who sent them? Who funds them? Who organizes them? What are their views?

[knixphan]

8. ditto.

[SweetieD]

19. I agree.

[Benhurst]

2. Should the same questions be asked of whites supporting Obama?

The assumption all blacks should be for Obama is every bit as racist as assuming all whites should be opposed to him.

[LiberadorHugo]

4. They're Dobson's people...

As you know, followers of James Dobson and Fascists on the Family are unable to think for themselves. In other words, they've been brainwashed into believing that they're inferior to Whites.

[Benhurst]

15. Duplicate

[Benhurst]

16. Ah, yes, James Dobson's people.

They are all crazy, as are all those who belong to such groups.

And they won't be taken seriously by anyone other than a handful here on Democratic Underground, any more than that silly Rothschild woman who came out for McCain was yesterday. Both she and they probably got more attention here than anywhere else in the country.

Most of Dobson's efforts have been so counterproductive, I'm surprised tin-hatted Freepers haven't wondered if our version of Karl Rove isn't behind him.

[intheflow]

23. "Most of Dobson's efforts have been so counterproductive..."

It may be that most of his efforts have been counterproductive, but whe he is productive, it's potentially devastating for the country. It's never wise to underestimate Satan, imo.

[wndycty]

5. Your question is stupid. The folks held up signs saying "BLACKS AGAINST OBAMA"

They were organized, not individual folks, but an organized effort. If a bunch of folks showed up to disrupt a McCain rally I think it would be fair to ask them the same questions.

Your question is simply stupid.

[FloridaGrl]

7. Where have you ever seen

a sign Whites against McCain? No one making any assumptions but we the public got the message loud and clear. This is manufactured division in what they believe is Obama strongest supporters.

[knixphan]

9. ding ding ding!

you get the prize.

[dchill]

25. You are right on the money.

And welcome to DU, FloridaGrl. :hi:

[thewiseguy]

11. WTF are you talking about?

:wtf:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. There is nothing wrong with Jews who support Hitler.

And it is anti-semitic to even question it!

[wndycty]

17. Where did you go? This is why I want questions asked. . .

. . .Drudge linked to this and folks will be running around saying "Blacks don't like Obama."

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/178233.html

[Benhurst]

22. And many Blacks undoubtedly don't like him. I would be surprised if

there aren't tens of thousands who will vote against against him in November. When have we ever gotten the support of 100% of any group in an election? But millions of African Americans will vote for him.

And there will be millions of whites who will vote against John McCain. So what?

It's not surprising for Drudge to allow Dobson to frame the argument.

It's shameful if we do.

[qanda]

21. If they use their color as a qualifier for their opposition

Then, yes, that same question should be asked.

[Mabus]

6. You want to know about their community organizer?

Let's see them laugh that one off.

[Obamarulz11]

Tip: MLK didnt get all of AA's support

I remember when Obama spoke in Florida during the primary. a group of 5 AA's held up signs as well.

[wndycty]

13. And lets not forget some of MLK and Malcom X's enemies within the Black community. . .

. . .were agent provocateurs.

[Obamarulz11]

10. Tip: MLK didnt get all of AA's support

I remember when Obama spoke in Florida during the primary. a group of 5 AA's held up signs as well.

[BlueIdaho]

12. One more question...

How's Karl Rove doing these days?

[amb123]

18. BLACKS AGAINST OBAMA: The Uncle Tom Brigade

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[jmondine]

20. I have no problem with the group itself

It's the media's focus on it. How big a group are they? Is the amount of attention they get warranted by the demographic they represent, or is it just another attempt to create "controversy" where there is none?

[Unsane]

24. This helps Obama IMO (Sista Soulja)

[Benhurst]

26. Exactly.

And as I recall Bill Clinton's use of the Sista Soulja incident, it was manipulative and cynical on Clinton's part, if effective. Dobson, ever heavy-footed and inevitably counterproductive, gave this one to us.

Gosh, all African Americans are not for Obama. Do you think?

Then maybe this shouldn't be about race after all -- wait, that's not the message the Reverend Mr. Dobson had in mind at all. Back to the drawing board for the self-proclaimed "Man of God."

[zulchzulu]

27. I'm starting up "Humans Against McCain" n/t

[Benhurst]

28. From what I've seen of polls taken around the world, you

may be on to something.
