And here I thought Obama was a white man with a black father.

I don’t EVER recall America as being “fallen”. My main worry is that the college-aged indoctrinated dolts will learn nothing but the white guilt pabulum spewed at them in school and vote for this wretch. If an endorsement from calypso louie won’t sink him, nothing will. I feel we’re in for a big “change”, I no longer have “hope” for a better election outcome in the “future”. If you really need to have a black president to feel better about yourselves then let’s draft Clarence Thomas.

I wonder if my mortgage company will understand when I say “Instead of $$, I’m sending them HOPE this month”…..and my kids when I tell them “instead of chicken, I’m feeding them HOPE tonight”…..because HOPE doesn’t seem to carry a lot behind it.

aleis   February 25th, 2008 - 12:44 pm

but didnt the KKK back him too?
sounds like a person to unite the races…literally! :)

Ron R.   February 25th, 2008 - 12:46 pm

Will Obama take us for a ride on Calipso Louie’s Mother Ship? Get on board the Love Train!!!

There is no group in this country that are more racist than African Americans. They have continued to re-elect black people, even when they have been convicted from felony crimes, simply because they are black. They, with only a 10% exception, do not even consider what the issues are…just what will benefit ME the most, rather than what is best for the security of our country and overall economic and job growth. Blacks, again with only a few exceptions, are perceived in America as takers rather than givers.
One could say they are under achievers simply because they are black, but that is not the case. They have the same access to education and even have black teachers, so they can’t say they are discrimated against on getting good marks. Why are the majority of black children born out of wedlock? And why are there so many in prison?
These are all things that could be rectified and changed, if blacks would find and cling to a black leader who emphasize these concerns. The only challenge is these changes require hard work and dedication. Wake up black America!

Obama’s spiritual mentor

Barack Hussein Obama is on the record, in word and deed, that Jeremiah Wright, Jr. is an important man to him.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=C19D4D91-618E-40D3-A5D9-C07D7A87A5BA

Like Karl Marx and generations of socialists, “Hussein” Obama prefers not to offer a blueprint of the promised future, even as he works to dismantle the present. Along with George Soros and his so called “Open Society”, his is a smokescreen for whatever agendas the “progressive revolutionaries” may wish to pursue.

If history is any guide, first they will work to destroy “Representative Democracy”. Then they will impliment the Nanny State – Socialism, and ultimately Communism. As the skull and bones on the ash heap of history has repeatedly taught us, Socialism/Communism has repeatedly failed with over 80 million murderous deaths (and counting) as its towering monument.

E390   February 25th, 2008 - 1:04 pm

An endorsement by a radical BLACK MUSLIM. Now all you libs know what the “hope, and Change” will be for America. Get ready for Sharia Law coming to your state. The prayer towers are already being erected. America PLEASE wake up.

James John   February 25th, 2008 - 1:09 pm

A largely irrelevant man seeking cheap popularity by misappropriating teh Obama brand!

Madge Owens   February 25th, 2008 - 1:40 pm

Just one more reason not to trust Obama. As far as I know America has not fallen any where, except in the eyes of terrorists and subversive types. America is the greatest most passionate and generous nation ever, and only these America haters will try and convince you otherwise. God bless America and save her from Liberals who do indeed hate her!

rocky   February 25th, 2008 - 2:13 pm

MOST Blacks are rascist.MOST Blacks are LAZY.MOST Blacks should go back to Africa,bringing them here was the worst thing we ever did.

rocky   February 25th, 2008 - 2:17 pm

Hey Sucks Tobeyou:Learn to spell you ignorant “balck” jerk,you are the reason people will never vote for a “balck” man just because he is”balck”,,,,,idiot!

Heather   February 25th, 2008 - 2:19 pm

I am a conservative black American so Obama will not be getting my vote anyway, but how can he control who endorses him? He did not approach them or seek them out. Is he less of a person because of the Nation of Islam? If you know anything about them you would know that the endorsement is probably just because he is black as they are black separatists.

If the KKK endorses John McCain does that mean that he is of the same quality they are?

That is what scares me about thinking that race is not a big deal in America anymore. Many of you are projecting wholesale generalizations onto him that you would not project onto another candidate.

michael midtown NYC NY   February 25th, 2008 - 2:49 pm

This pseudo love fest and endorsement will not get
Obama the Jewish vote and the vote from good Christians if Obama does not renounce what
Farrakan said when he said”Jews have a gutter
religion”also Obamas church gave a Humanitarian
award to Farrakan recently.
Something stinks and it ain’t fish.

Mr. 1776   February 25th, 2008 - 2:53 pm

This will force John McCain to be president who
needs this crap from Louis Farrakhan ,may be
Obama will make him Secretary of State(laughter).

Jen   February 25th, 2008 - 3:24 pm

…anddd enter Ralph Nader! We don’t want another republican president, we don’t want a woman, don’t want a black man…perfect-dems have a choice now!
Any change has to be better than all this crap!

90% of BLACKS CANNOT SEE PAST THE END OF THEIR RACIST NOSES.IGORANCE BREEDS CONTEMP,WE HAVE THE ISLAMIC TERRORIST AT 13th. CENTURY- BLACKS MIRED IN THE CULTURE OF THE 1930′S.STOP THE INCESSANT WHINNING AND STOP BLAMING THE WHITES FOR YOUR SHORT COMINGS AND ABILITY TO ADVANCE IN SOCIETY.

Harvey Levy   February 25th, 2008 - 4:01 pm

People, RELAX!!!!! There’s zero chance that Osama Obama will become prez of the US of A. Now that Louie has thrown in his ringing endorsement of a fellow Muslim (that’s right, folks)next in line is the little Iranian cockroach. To be sure these endorsements will guarantee 90% of the Hollywood airhead vote (with the other 10% falling in line after Castro and Chavez endorsement)but most of America does not buy what Osama Obama is selling. If Hillary does not get the nomination most of her supporters will bolt and vote for Mac, sit it out or go the independent route. Who knows, maybe Hillary will go in as a third party candidate.

BillFulie   February 25th, 2008 - 4:34 pm

I will not vote for B. Hussein Obama – not because he is a Black man. He is educated but has been voted the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR IN THE SENATE. I do not want my Income Taxes to go up.I am retired and can not stand paying anymore taxes. What worries me is:1)He had a Muslum father 2)He was raised by StepDad who was Muslum and 3)He decided to join a Church if Christ Church which is fine with me, but Newsweek went to this church and listened to the Black Pastor who is a RACIST. This pastor hates all WHITE PEOPLE AND HAS SAID “We are in the UNITED STATES OF “WHITE” AMERICA. Also he is too LIBERAL….

Dan, St Louis   February 25th, 2008 - 4:36 pm

“Most of you commenting belong to the biggest group of Whiny Ass Titty Babies the world has ever seen. A balck man will be president of the United States. Deal with it. It is time for America to grow up. You cry babies.”

Put Condi, Justice Thomas even Colin Powell up and watch how fast we conservatives vote for a black person. Don’t you, make this about race, it is about ideology.

Ben   February 25th, 2008 - 4:44 pm

“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us.” Is this buffoon talking about Jesus? Jesus’ mother Mary was not white, she was Jewish. And Jesus was not black, he was Jewish, too!

Racists for Obama 08!

Josh   February 25th, 2008 - 4:49 pm

C’mon dittoheads, the calypso line from Limbaugh is getting old. Do you still call Bush a crackhead? Obviously his coke and alcohol problems were too long ago to have relevance today, so why use Rush’s moniker? Come up with something new & fresh. I find Farrakhan’s words uplifting…afterall..the man is a conservative. Obama has won over conservatives and liberals alike and Farrakhan is proof.

And many of you know, you dispise Farrakhan becuase he tells the truth. If he was a liar like Bush you would kiss his tail. He has never lied and its his truth that has you and the drug head Rush and all other supremist up in arms.

MadMike   February 25th, 2008 - 4:56 pm

After the lunatic Farrahkan’s endorsement I am sure Al Qaeda will be singing Obama’s praises next!

Tex Taylor   February 25th, 2008 - 5:03 pm

I don’t understand the big deal about this endorsement. Louis is not much different than Obama’s own spiritual leader…Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

About as racist as they come.

Carter   February 25th, 2008 - 5:06 pm

Now we need our brothers from KKK group to endorse Obama. When you are great, even your enemy has to acknowledge. Obama has the vision to unite, black, white, christian and muslims. Even moromons :)

Stub   February 25th, 2008 - 5:15 pm

Obama’s Minister has praised the good works of Mr. Louis Farrakhan. The only proper way to return the favor of such praise is to endorse someone who shares your beliefs. My hat is off to Mr Farrakhan to continue to illuminate the shining character and values of Mr. Obama. Please Mr Farrakhan repeat your endorsements all over the news (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS) everyday.

Janice in NC   February 25th, 2008 - 5:21 pm

It will be interesting to see if the main stream media has the guts to put this on the 6:30 news. I don’t think that NBC or MSNBC would EVER do anything but try to continue helping Obama just like they have done since December. No, Obama didn’t necessarily solicit this endorsement, but his church has close ties to Farrakhan – and America needs to know! Without much history about Obama, we truly are “rolling the dice” by continuing to vote for him. His following has turned into a cult with the help of the press.

Never hip hop   February 25th, 2008 - 6:18 pm

No! to Louie & Hussein & other Muslim advancers
it’s called “White house” for a reason ,Ouch!
just kidding.
Obama renounce your Church for giving an award
to Farrakhan . His only good deed was having his
bowtied followers protect Michael Jackson during
the perversion trial.
I’m changing my vote for Hillary.

seejay   February 25th, 2008 - 6:21 pm

It’s funny that to con-men like farrakhan, the rest of us are all too concerned with RACE.
Truth is, these race-baiters live and breath RACE! Without racial differences to exploit they’d have to go out and GET REAL JOBS!

Everett   February 25th, 2008 - 6:24 pm

Let’s not forget Obama’s minister and Farrakan are close buddies and communicate often Does anyone see an association here?

lauding farrakhan   February 25th, 2008 - 6:31 pm

The bigger story is that Obama’s pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, CEO of Trumpet Magizine (the magazine which shares a street address with Obama’s church) lauded Louis Farrakhan with a lifetime achievement award late last year – see footage at youtube here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXS_YrYp07Q . Obama reportedly speaks of his pastor (again, Jeremiah Wright) as helping “keep his priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated” (see here – http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/religion/chi-070121-relig_wright,0,7064380.story ). Now, if I belonged to a church that gave the grand wizard of the kkk a lifetime achievement award, I should think I would have seen that train wreck coming a long time ago; Obama has been going to Wright’s church for decades now, after all.

Anyway, here is a link to Obama’s church’s website – http://www.tucc.org/home.htm

Here is a link to the church’s magazine (which can be clicked into from the church website) – http://www.trumpetmag.com/home.cfm .

Here is a link to the Obama’s church’s magazine’s issue with Farrakhan on the “Double Cover” at page 8 – http://www.trumpetmag.com/pdf/nov_dec_magazines.pdf

Farrakhan’s “Nation of Islam” doctrine’s include that God says whites are the literal progeny of “the Devil”, that white women copulated with dogs in the caves of Europe thousands of years ago and thus whites literally “amalgamated” with dogs – that whites at one time, thus, walked on all fours, were covered with hair, and had tails which have since all gone away.

Sources are “Black Man’s History” and “Message to the Black Man” from Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad respectively linked at these sites -

Sonya B.   February 25th, 2008 - 8:32 pm

Yet another reason to oppose Obama … the endorsement of a supreme hater like Farrakhan.

Roscoe   February 25th, 2008 - 9:02 pm

Wow Barrack Hussein Obama is getting accolades from Farrakhan and the black nation of Islam. This is the kind of change I want.

annie   February 25th, 2008 - 10:03 pm

The media has been quick to announce Obama’s indorsements as they come in, but I haven’t seen anything on TV yet about this one?

Randy   February 25th, 2008 - 10:22 pm

What does he mean by a black man with a white mother saved us all, is he actually referring to Jesus? Whose mother was not white nor was he black, I guess the aliens that he regularly meets with dropped this nugget of truth on him. This is the best thing the GOP could have hoped for. When he gets the nom, we need to put this endorsement along with really anything this guy has said in the past and put it everywhere. Screwy Louis, one of the worst racists of our day, a man who says if your skin is of a light complexion you are a devil and work to destroy the justness of darker people. He needs a good beating.

Half/Rican   February 25th, 2008 - 10:49 pm

Ugh! a death sentence to his Presidential run.

rocky   February 25th, 2008 - 10:50 pm

What a rascist, thanks for the endorsement.

Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are. Unless Hussein Obama STRONGLY repudiates Calyso Louie and his band of merry little Islamo-facists, you know full well Hussein Obama’s true heart.

All bigotry aside…

For somebody that was supposed to have been dead a long time ago from cancer and everything else, old Louise is looking pretty good these days. If he really is this healthy now, we will be hearing a lot from him. Like it, or not…

Stan G.   February 26th, 2008 - 12:02 am

I don’t need to judge Senator O’Bama by who does or does not endorse him. He is a socialist, pure and simple. Informed voters that want socialism will vote for him, informed voters that don’t will not vote for him. Race, religion, associations ultimately are marginal influences. I don’t want this country to be like France, therefore I won’t vote for Senator O’Bama. When he finally has to fess up to real issues, he will be for higher taxes, larger government, more restrictions on businesses, more of our tax dollars to politically correct “green” issues and, ultimately, when all of this fails, blame conservatives for the failure.

Rob   February 26th, 2008 - 12:32 am

Calypso Louie hier apparent to the Rain Coat salesman has spoken–and the big wheel keeps on turnin. Maybe Hussein will invite him to a public appearance–hand in hand would be nice. The hopeless, mindless,fawning,fainting,ignorant,mob screams deliver us !!

no identity   February 26th, 2008 - 12:40 am

Sucks Tobeyou:

Yes, that’s my only concern. My problem with Obama has nothing to do with his views, agenda, or transparent rhetoric— it is all about race. He is (half) black, and I’m white. That’s all I can see. That’s all I think about. I’ve got this intrinsic compulsion to keep black people out of power— it must be genetic. I can’t seem to see through it. When I go out, all I see around me are white people and non-whites. I can’t handle dealing with non-whites— it gives me fits. The idea that Obama might be president makes my intestines wavy. Because all I care about is race. That’s what determines whether you are human or not. Right? Us against you? Right? Gotta keep up the fight to suppress the black population— gotta keep on keeping you guys down. Same as every other white guy, you know? It’s all a big game with us— keeping blacks in the ghetto, giving blacks crappy role models so that the youth have nothing positive to model themselves after, coming in to the projects with buses full of automatic weapons & crack to give to the poor communities, hoping it will keep them down. It’s our fault when you get a parking ticket, it’s us-against-you when your air conditioner breaks, when you don’t get what you ordered at the restaurant, when the wind is blowing too hard and it is too cold outside and you don’t have a jacket because the government (the white government) won’t donate jackets to the jacket-less. White people are the reason you occasionally stub your toe— I hope you remember this the next time that happens. We invented the toe-stub as a very clever way to undermine the contentedness of black people.

All this racism we see on these forums is simply people being swine. I try to disregard it. Perhaps I should have simply disregarded your comments, too. In fact, I don’t know why I didn’t. I suppose it is my deep-rooted hatred of anyone whose skin is not the same shade as my own… Damn, all this talk has made me want to go start a company that never hires black people because they are black.

Regards,

Gregory Scott

Lonewolf   February 26th, 2008 - 1:15 am

LOL- this ought to put Obama over the top a ringing endorsement from Mr. Racist himself Farrakhan. This guy is just as loony as Scientology Cruise only more dangerous.

non-livid   February 26th, 2008 - 1:21 am

^ Well said.

JihadJoe   February 26th, 2008 - 1:46 am

Obama’s the Pride of Farrakhanstein?
We may not only get the first half-black president, we may also get the first to be sworn in with a Koran. One Nation under….Allah?
On a related matter….Obama looks like he’s waiting tables at Sambos in that Ethiopian wrap. WTF?

David   February 26th, 2008 - 7:17 pm

I notice that my comment is waiting “moderation” I could tell you what I really think we should do.I seriously believe that when(if EVER),the U.S.citizens understand what has been done to their children`s education,Our economy,our jobs,ect.And who has made alot of money(clue)doing these things,to our country,Ther will be a serious shortage of rope and emty tree limbs in the Distict of Columbia.Have a nice day.

David   February 27th, 2008 - 2:57 am

Well,it seems now that folks still don`t understand what it is that made this all possible.So,I`ll share.The people who set all this up,did it after defeating the greatest military force in the world.We have a system that works.We can only blame ourselves for a group of socialist candidates.And yes,including Mac.in that group.For goodness sakes, read just a little of Lennin,Hitler,Mao,ect.These people should be locked up.Not tring to run the country.Only one stands alone with the 10 term congressional exp.Back our constitution,and don`t buy into the lie that”Ron Paul can`t win”The control freaks will win if we don`t support Paul.

Grendel   February 28th, 2008 - 4:50 am

Josh:

You said: “C’mon dittoheads, the calypso line from Limbaugh is getting old. Do you still call Bush a crackhead? Obviously his coke and alcohol problems were too long ago to have relevance today, so why use Rush’s moniker?”

Funny, I don’t remember anyone in 1980 saying that it had been some 30 years since “Bedtime for Bonzo” and 40 years since “Knute Rockne All American” were released, so it wasn’t relevant or fair to call Reagan “Bonzo” or “The Gipper.” (That’s probably because Reagan himself couldn’t care less, and even used the phrase “win one for the Gipper” in his campaign speeches.)

Of course there’s a reason why we call him Calypso Louie, and it’s a good one. That moniker refers to the most recent time in his life when Mr. Walcott did the world some good by *deliberately* trying to entertain people (that would have been the 1950s, for those keeping score). These days, his entertainment value (if any) is purely accidental and mixed in with the foulest racist, sexist, antisemitic and misanthropic filth human ears can nigh endure.

Were I a candidate for president, and were I endorsed by the likes of Calypso Louie, I would call a press conference and officially rebuke the man, publicly casting off the endorsement.
