White Folks Have Lost their Minds Over Obama

I know, I know.  It’s a provocative headline.  But I couldn’t bring myself to use the title of the article to which I refer, which, in my opinion, is much worse:

White people shouldn’t be allowed to vote

It’s for the good of the country and for those who’re bitter for a reason and armed because they’re scared.

For the good of the country?  If the author, Jonathan Valania, chief editor of the blog, Phawker.com, really cared about the “good of the country” he would stop blogging.  What is it with these “chief editors,” anyway?  At any rate, here’s why Valania thinks white people shouldn’t vote, in his own words, ‘cuz I’m not that good:

As a lifelong Caucasian, I am beginning to think the time has finally come to take the right to vote away from white people, at least until we come to our senses. Seriously, I just don’t think we can be trusted to exercise it responsibly anymore.

I give you Exhibit A: The last eight years.

In 2000, Bush-Cheney stole the election, got us attacked, and then got us into two no-exit wars. Four years later, white people reelected them. Is not the repetition of the same behavior over and over again with the expectation of a different outcome the very definition of insanity? (It is, I looked it up.)

Exhibit B is any given Sarah Palin rally.

Exhibit C would be Ed Rendell and John Murtha, who in separate moments of on-the-record candor they would come to regret, pointing out that there are plenty of people in Pennsylvania who just cannot bring themselves to pull the lever for a black man – no matter what they tell pollsters.

These people are ruining things for the rest of us white people who are ready to move on. Sure, they have their reasons, chimerical though they may be: He’s a Muslim. He’s a terrorist. He’s a Muslim terrorist. He’s going to fire all the white people and give their jobs to blacks.

But those are just the little white lies these people allow themselves to be told, a self-induced cognitive dissonance that lets them avoid saying the unsayable: I cannot pull the lever for a black man.

Uh, Jonny, white people should be scared, even though, “black” and “Muslim” have nothing to do with it.  “Inexperienced” and “liar” are much more compelling, fear-inducing reasons to oppose Barack Obama.  And before you “move on” to the “she must be racist” rigmarole, for your information, I’m a life-long African American.  Maybe if you did “move on,” you might get to the place where you lost your freaking mind and pick it up and use it, if it’s not too damaged.

Between Truth First, tuxedo wearing assassins and vice-presidential candidates making the case of why you shouldn’t vote for his running-mate, it’s hard to tell where reality ends and the joking starts.

Now African Press International Says “There Will Be Blood”

According to African Press International, the once obscure website now famous for their claims to be in possession of inflammatory tapes of Michelle Obama going off, if we elect Barack Obama there “will be blood.”  Now, there are more than enough reasons for black people not to vote for a dubiously funded, freshman senator who barely knows how to find the bathrooms in the Capitol Building, let alone how to legislate, and whose main qualification for president seems to be the ability to read ghost-written sermons from a TelePrompTer, but threats of violence are not among them.  However, API says we can count on being “brought to our knees” as a nation if not enough people wake up in time; look at what happened in Kenya:

It may sound as a dream. It may sound as fiction and it may sound as fantasy, but it is around the corner. Bloodshed can only be stopped by the Americans themselves by execising their voting right wisely. Personally, I do not have any agenda or intention to bring forth confusion only days to the election, but the truth must be told to the Americans and the world.

America, the only powerful nation in the world right now, will be brought to its knees between the 5th of November 2008 and January 20th 2009 if the American people do not vote wisely on the 4th of November.

Looking at what happened in Kenya during last year’s Presidential elections, one may understand why bloodshed is around every street corner and home in America. In Kenya last year, everybody sang the song of change and change was to be at whatever cost, people said. Those who wanted some excitement wanted immediate change, but got bloodshed in the end and lost families. Kenyans were not prepared for the bloodshed that followed, bringing the country to a standstill for 4 months. People were killed. Neighbours murdered neighbours in the name of change. So Americans should be prepared for that which may come in the name of change.

It is good to have change, but change�that people are prepared to deal with. Kenya did not get the change promised by some leaders, even after�brainwashing their followers making them to believe that President Mwai Kibaki was a old man who could die of health reasons. Some were brainwashed that the best thing for Kenya was to have change by electing a younger man in the name of Raila Odinga to be the President of the Republic. My fear is coming from here, now that Americans have been brainwashed that McCain is old and may die in office and the best for America is to have a younger man in the name of Obama. Most of those who were brainwashed in Kenya got wild when they did not get Raila as the president. Some chose to accept defeat while others chose to go on rampage raping and killing their neighbours. If Kenyans were ignored by the international community when the bloodshed started, the country would be very unstable today. The country was rescued from a brink of collapse, thanks to the international community. Who will rescue America, the most powerful Nation in the world if they start travelling on the road of bloodshed?.

For some it did not matter that people were dying. There was only one was in their mind, “Change”. They were, however surprised not to get the change they had been promised, but instead they lost their loved ones killed by those who were funded by�some of the leaders who had promised them change. Those who killed for some leaders are now languishing in Kenyan jails waiting to be prosecuted. Where are the leaders who promised them change? Some are now having high positions in Kenya’s coalition government and making a good living for themselves and their families.

The same shall surely befall America if they do not vote wisely.

When people talk about change it is�a very good thing. But the question they should ask is, yes we want change, but,�change from what to what? People should know where they are heading to and should not be blinded and misled to fight for change they do not know where it is leading them to.

There’s more to this post, but enough is enough.  Chief Editor Korir may be well-intentioned, or he may be an unscrupulous hoaxter, but either way, indulging in racial fear-mongering makes him no better than any of the other rabble rousers using threats to blackmail voters.  Barack Obama is a lousy candidate, unworthy of overwhelming support from anybody.  Make that case, and everything else will take care of itself.

Another One Bites The Biden Dust?

Looks like another tv station asking Joe (Yeah, I Said It) Biden questions he didn’t like, has been banned by the Obiden campaign at Joe’s request.  I say, “looks like,” ‘cuz, this one kinda smells.  You decide.

Obama White Tuxedo and Top Hat Assassination Plot Thwarted

Since, according to AP-Yahoo News, the Feds have proven that some loony white skinhead guys were determined to kill Barack Obama by driving really fast and shooting at him, after they killed over one hundred other black people for no reason, I guess I have to vote for him now, huh?

Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF’s Nashville field office, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

“They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” Cavanaugh said. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

The court records say Cowart and Schlesselman also bought nylon rope and ski masks to use in a robbery or home invasion to fund their spree, during which they allegedly planned to go from state to state and kill people.

For the Obama plot, the legal documents show, Cowart and Schlesselman “planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows.”

“Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt,” the court complaint states. “Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt.”

Cavanaugh said there’s no evidence — so far — that others were willing to assist Cowart and Schlesselman with the plot.

He said authorities took the threats very seriously.

“They seemed determined to do it,” Cavanaugh said. “Even if they were just to try it, it would be a trail of tears around the South.”

I can understand the rope, ski masks, etc., but they would both wear white tuxedos and top hats?  My other question, if the records were unsealed in court today, when did this happen?  Well, according to KAIT in Jonesborough, Arkansas, last week:

The pair was arrested on October 22, 2008 by the Crockett County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Department.

Good thing they didn’t tell us about all this last week, we might have missed all that Biden stuff.

Can’t Lynch Blacks, Women Okay

I have learned so many things this election cycle.  I learned that just running for president qualifies as presidential experience, since the guy who didn’t have enough to run in the primaries now has enough to win!  Boo-yah!  I have also learned that girls can’t spend a lot of money on clothes if they want to be taken seriously as major party candidates for high offices they won’t win anyway, since they’re girls.  Alllllrrriiiiight!  And, I learned, just today, in fact, that it’s okay to depict women as lynching victims, but if you show black men hanging from a chimney, that’s bad.  Who knew?  If I didn’t read news stories, I know I wouldn’t know that.

See, some guy in West Hollywood has a mannequin dressed as Sarah Palin hanging from his chimney below another mannequin dressed as John McCain surrounded by flames (which, of course, would mean that his house was on fire, since flames aren’t supposed to shoot out of chimneys) as, get this…a Halloween gag!  That not only makes it okay, that makes it “art.”  From KTLA:

The creator of the display, Chad Michael Morrisette says the mannequin may be unacceptable any other month, but he says it’s Halloween and that makes it okay.
“It should be seen as art and it should be seen within the month of October. It’s time to be scary and spooky,” Morrisette said.

“I know if we had done it with Barack Obama, people would’ve probably thrown things through our windows,” Morrisette said. “The image of a hanged black man is a lot more intense than the image of a hanged white woman — for our country — in the history of our country.”

From what I can gather, the whole thing is okay because they guy who put it up is gay:

The Republican vice presidential candidate is not considered to be a friend of the gay community and has been the subject of rumors throughout West Hollywood in recent days. First, there was word the city was going to ban Sarah Palin drag queens at its upcoming costumed street party, which draws some 500,000 people annually. But, that rumor turned out to be false.

So, I guess, if you’re gay and working under false assumptions, it’s fine and dandy to express your misplaced faux outrage by depicting the person not responsible for your misconceptions as a lynching victim, if it’s Halloween.  Who the hell knew?

What’s next, burning “fag” giggles?  Fun with witches?  The possibilities boggle the mind.  With so much hilarity to pursue, I sure am relieved it’s not a problem as long as the “fags,” witches, whatever, aren’t black.

Spreading The Wealth To Who?

Some say Barack Obama has a “socialist agenda.”  I have no idea what that means, let alone if it’s true.  In this video, he talks about the “redistribution of wealth.”

In this one, he talks about a “Civilian National Defense.”  The longer video with the entire speech can be found here, for context, with the money quote coming about 16:42.

He also talks about AmeriCorp, damned near compulsory “volunteering,” putting old people to work, and making kids work off their college loans.  And who can forget Michelle Obama’s words?

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed.”

Yet, how do you then account for his financial backing from people like Penny Pritzker, JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon and William Daley, both of whom are on his finance team and who I have written about here, here, here,and here, among others.  Earl Ofari Hutchinson, in a piece for the Huffington Post, lambasted Obama and McCain equally for their part in the finacial crisis, given the amount of money both have recieved from prime players, though Obama has gotten far more, which can be validated here, here, here,and here.

When Obama talks about “spreading the wealth around” is he really talking about “redistributing the wealth” to the “middle class,” or is he talking about restructuring the financial industry to the benefit of the big money donors who bankroll him?

Socialism?  Capitalism?  Redistribution?  Restructuring?  Screw-up?  Screwed?
