Is this the “Talented 10th” vs. “The Happily Segregated?”

b.serious, you’re so right…How the CBC, Julian Bond and Tavis Smiley could align themselves so closely with the Clintons despite the resounding aftermath of their actions…

There’s an article in the NYTimes about Michelle Obama…There’s an excerpt that caused me to shed tears:

“My parents told us time and time again, ‘Don’t tell us what you can’t do,’ ” she said. “ ‘And don’t worry about what can go wrong.’ ”

“I realized that gnawing sense of self doubt that lies within all of us is within our own heads,” she said in Atlanta. “The truth is we are more ready and more prepared than we even know. My own life is proof of that.”

I wish that I could convey the true impact of her statement ON ME…maybe I’m the only one here who can relate to it…I don’t think so…I think there are many of us who can relate to it.

What a bunch of disgusting power grubbing assholes. They care so much about the voters, they’ll ignore them.

They’re already conceding they can’t win through democratic means, and are laying the groundwork for diabolical plans to steal this. Look what they’ve got us doing: talking and worrying about freaking Julian Bond! Thank god for Obama–I think he is just too damn smart for them. Run up the score, bigtime, with record turnouts everywhere.

Bond can try and spin this as a civil rights issue all he wants. The question still remains…WHY NOW?!?!

He should have said this months ago.

The “pledge” is besides the point. The delegates are not supposed to count. End of story.

I’m sorry, but Bond’s explaination sounds like it came straight out of Clinton’s talking points memo.

And to top it off, he makes it seem like Obama wasn’t for black people . . . like he sided with white Iowa/NH and threw black MI/FL under the bus.

This don’t feel right, people. You watch. This is gonna get really ugly. From the CBC to Bond to Tavis Smiley, it’ll be a civil war amongst the black leadership before Obama takes his oath of office.

But I couldn’t fathom why it wouldn’t make her nauseous to make that argument. I mean, if that comes to pass, why does she want to stick around when she’s not wanted? Then, I figured out that she really thinks she knows better than us stupid voters. She thinks the voters are rubes. That’s why she’ll lie to their faces to get their votes. In her mind, that’s the only way she can win and she believes she’s doing them a service.

What an arrogant and craven fool. Reminds me of that idiot Lieberman running as an independent after he lost the primary. And look at that turd now, campaigning for McCain. He’ll probably blast democrats at the repulican convention – maybe he’ll challenge Chris Matthews to a duel, too.

babyming,

it’s called confusing the issues. trying to get them entangled. Green is an official Clinton shill.

Isn’t it interesting that what may be two of the most critical primaries are going to be occuring in handkerchief-heads Sheila Jackson Lee and Stephanie Tubbs Jones’s home states…TX and OH respectively?

I’ll take that as a good sign, b/c John Lewis is from GA and we brought GA home to OBAMA. To folks on this blog from TX and OH: Bring it home for US ALL!

BTW, great article on the Next First Lady of the United States.

And why is this dude on the Huffington Post stealing my material on the Next Vice-President of the United States???

Look back through my comments, I’ve been talking up Webb since December…damn, I even took it as my username on here.

Remember you can donate multiple times up to the $2,300 individual limit.

We gotta push hard now more than even before, to win not just in Wisconsin but also in Ohio and Texas, and to win by crushing margins so that Obama runs up the delegate count and overcomes any Clinton superdelegate bribery. Remember that when you donate, you can also Email friends and family to do the same.

Also, if any of you have even the most tenuous Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, Vermont or Rhode Island connections, please sign up to phone bank, go door-to-door, volunteer for GOTV, put Obama paraphernalia on your car or by your home, pass out campaign literature and just generally campaign intensively for Obama.

We have to go all out in Texas and Ohio in particular. This has to be a nonstop push to get out the vote and convince people why we need Obama to lead today.

I’m sure that many, hopefully most of you all are well aware of this already. But many people apparently do not know this.

I also saw a post on huffington post (by some guy named Mark Green) who combined Florida/Michigan with the superdelegate issue. These are two ENTIRELY separate issues, and should NEVER be “lumped together” like “these are the rules, you’ve gotta play by the rules”.

Obama did NOT campaign in either Michigan or Florida because he was following the rules that he, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards all agreed to at the start– which of course, Hillary later broke when she did campaign in Florida. Obama wasn’t even on the Michigan ballot!

Like people are saying, this would be changing the rules of the game after the second half and even worse, trying to *retroactively* add bullshit points from the first half on that basis.

Are the KKKlintons consciously trying to destroy the Democratic Party and the country in the process? Is there any reprehensible tactic they haven’t tried yet? Let’s see– they blocked GOTV efforts in New Hampshire, they sued to close down Nevada caucus sites while giving false directions and prematurely closing pro-Obama sites in Las Vegas, they tried to tamper with voting machines and vote-tallying operations in South Carolina and Louisiana (and apparently got busted trying to do the same BS in Texas and Ohio), they went into overdrive to stop college students from voting in Iowa, they plant softball questioners in the audience, they race-baited Obama relentlessly before and after South Carolina and then accused the Obama campaign of playing the race card.

What’s next? The Clintons trying to pull a Tonya Harding and whacking Obama’s knees? Hiring an assassination squad? Is there any level to which they wouldn’t stoop in their own obsession for power?

Much as I love the USA, this is why I think we’re soon headed for a fall, much worse than what befell ancient Rome all those centuries ago– our democratic system does attract top talent like Obama, but it also attracts pathological narcissists like the Clintons who are willing to divide and destroy the nation if they think it would help them gain power. They’ve already done so much damage as it is, it’s difficult to comprehend how they could do more, but they’re sure trying to build further on that foundation!

Fair enough BUT the question still remains: Why didn’t Bond speak up months ago?

If Obama prevails in TX and OH, then this can all be ended. As Mary J would say, “No more drama.”

As a part of this J&J community, I want to especially thank Jack and DNA for your spectacular work in the Potomac Primaries…you all have put *O* over-the-top!

Regardless, for everyone discussing allowing them to hold future contests, what is the basis? The DNC didn’t strip them of their delagates because they wantes to disenfranchise them. The states made a decision. I personally feel they should have to live with that. Those 4 states were chosen for a reason to be first. Finally, its actually not fair to the the other candidates (not just Barack or Hillary). The timing of theses primaries and caucuses is factored into campaign strategy. To change it this late in the race is unfair and wrong.

I don’t know if this particular letter is a hoax, but Al Sharpton and the Associated Press are going with the story that Bond wrote “a” letter to Howard Dean. See the link below:
