    The tea parties that are sponsered and lead by Sarah Palin and Glen Beck who are very dangerous not only for our new President, color of change and all africian americans who live in the United States. The last tea party was held at the White House was led by Glen Beck. There was not any Any African American's attended the tea party. Confederate flags, and hate Obama signs were displayed throught the crowd. Pictures of monkeys and apes were also displayed. This group is a racist group that have attended many of Glen Becks and Sarah Palins tea parties. They are extremly dangerous. This is 2009 and America has a Black President. Many African Americans and caucasions can easily identify the hatred the tea party group represents. We experienced this type of behavior during the civil rights area. We have marched with and for the Reverend Martin Luther King. However, we were beaten, chased by police dog, arrested and/or killed. we have campaigned for Senator Barack Obama. Sarah Palin racism is very blatant and her IQ maybe 60. The major newspaper in Alaskan is the Ancorage news paper. The Ancorage news endorsed Senator Barack Obama. Palin would do any thing to hurt President Obama. Her goal is to become the next president of the United States. Glen Beck barely gradurated from high school. The sad part about what is going in American is based on the Republican Party, they are backing Fox News, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck and Joe Wilson. Former President Jimmy Carter and Bill Cosby have stated that racism is the major problem that President Obama is facing. Bill Cosby said "There was the Birth Of A Nation and now we are facing the Death of A Nation" Sarah Palin and Glen Beck Have scheduled another tea party that will be held soon. African Americans know what a tea party is. We know that tea parties are associated with the American Revolus War and we know that Chripus Attucks a black man was the first solider killed in the war. There are many baby boomers that do not want our grandchildren and our great grandchildren through the violent hatred that we have gone through and can still remember the racism that we went through. The Jews will never forget the holocost. African Americans will never forget the Revolutionary War, The Civil War and the Civil Rights War. The Republicans lay back and let idots like Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, and Joe the Plummer do their dirty work form them. This Republician strategy was used years before Barack Obama was born. This man's ancestry is white, black and native american. Joe Wilson is very angry and has shown his hatred of President's Obama. He is also angry because former Senator Thurmond's bi-racial daughter made her heritage public. Jim Wilson stated that she should have never made it public because is would damage Senator Thurmond's image. Senator Thurmond, other children knew about their half sister and knew that she was bi-racial. Jim Wilson had to apologize to the Senators white children. He never apologized to the Senator's bi-racial daughter.

    I just found your site. I am 58 year old Democrat just about white as it gets, and I am overjoyed that we are one step closer to true E.R. I thought when I was 14-15-16, back in the 60's that NOW everything will be alright, but I have seen that there are some low lives that will try to kill anyone who is truely GOOD. I have high hopes for true love between all peoples, but some of these racest pigs of ALL races will try to block it. Please God in my life time let MLK's dream become everyones dream, and more than that become truth, and fact. Wanda Banks,,,, dabampire@yahoo.com

    Apparently the No on Prop 8 campaign in California is being hurt by registered African-American and Latino Democrats who say they will vote with the conservatives to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. This is incredibly sad. It is, after all, about equality. Perhaps a big story from J&J Politics might do some good.
  • Please post this video. I know the "other" team has tried so many dirty, shady tactics to win this election. One thing that makes me so proud of my brother Obama is that he has conducted himself and his campaign in such an above board fashion that it is the definition of class. It is one of the reasons, I believe, that he is pulling away in the polls right now. In the spirit of this behavior I ask that this video of McCain defending Barack Obama to his own supporters should be posted. This site attacked McCain for not speaking out against people screamed hate filled remarks. I did the same in emails in to friends and on my own webpage. I am posting this because I actually believe McCain was a decent, honest man; that in his desire to win, lost his way completely. This video is the senator I once admired. I have every intention of voting for Obama and I plan to get everyone I can to vote for Obama, but in this instance I wish to emulate the class that Obama has shown by displaying a once good man making an attempt at redemption before he loses his soul completely.

    If you crave Mexican food while you're in Denver, try Emilio's Super Chef at the corner of East Colfax and Logan, just about a block behind the Capitol. Nice people. Good food. My family grabbed a snack there a couple of weeks ago when we got a flat tire downtown while visiting from Texas.

    Can't wait to hear/read/see your posts; sure wish I could be there, too!
