Questionable Endorsement

I find it interesting that the man who claims to not have any racist tendencies whatsoever was endorsed by the Black Panthers. Yes, it is true. Barack Hussein Obama was indeed endorsed by the New Black Panther Party. What if John McCain or Hillary Rodham-Clinton was endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan? Would people look the other way? I think not! On Barack Hussein Obama’s website, people are able to create their own groups for the forums. Before this week, Obama’s spokesperson said the forum portion of the website “has nothing to do with us.” Really? Is there a problem with maintaining some kind of decorum on the forums of his website? I have run into many forums put out by politicians or commentators that require some kind of integrity in the comments made, otherwise they are subject to deletion. Why can Barack Hussein Obama not hold the same standards? The page the Black Panthers created has now been deleted. Another spokesperson for the Obama campaign now says “It’s our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence.” This is only coming after weeks of questions and speculation made by the media. So, is it really the policy, or does the Obama campaign just want to avoid the issues that are certain to stem from the endorsement of the Black Panthers?

I would say that the Obama campaign is absolutely trying to avoid the issues that stem from the endorsement of the Black Panthers. Just because the Black Panthers decided to endorse Obama, doesn't mean that the Obama campaign asked for their support or that the Obama campaign supports the Black Panthers.

Not to say that the Obama campaign isn't flawed, because I think if the Ku Klux Klan endorsed Clinton or McCain, they would blasted and criticized much more than Obama.

"I find it interesting that the man who claims to not have any racist tendencies whatsoever was endorsed by the Black Panthers."

Obama is endorsed by a Black Panthers member... so he's racist. Excellent logic, no?
You're right on--- Obama is spending too much time with his black friends and needs to show more of his "white" side. He's beginning to look a little out of control radical-like.

On a more serious note: my expectation before seeing Obama speak in Missoula, Montana was that he would highlight his race, or you know at least use it as a symptom of the system he wishes to change. But I heard the other issues. You know, the more important issues: healthcare, energy, foreign policy and whatnot.
