Obama will be history’s first racial facist. It will be a crime to criticize anything he does because that will be taken as racism and thus, will be a hate crime.

Can you say O.J. on the cover of Time Magazine, 1997.

Can anyone really say they’re surprised! The Clinton’s are the political duo that honed “The Politics Of Personal Destruction” into an artform; and, most certainly will not tolerate, who is in their mind, the “upstart Obama” to derail Hillary’s pre-choreographed coronation. Slick and Hilla-the-Hun have repeatedly demonstrated a vicious mud-slinger demeanor that is unprecedented whenever their political dynasty has been threatened in the past. Just ask anyone of their innumerable victims.

Oh come on… jez… you would think they painted him in minstrel black face and white gloves. I have 3 TVs in the house. I can tell you without a doubt that each screen image will show at least that much differentiation in skin tones.

Issues please… ISSUES !!!

Looks like Hillary cannot win for losing

Chicago Tribune: Big front page articule saying Bill forgot to report $7000000 is stock payments to the IRS from a startup. The funny part is the startup is involved with the chinese govenment.

Bill better get a good lawyer.

ROFLMAO! Please, please continue on Hillary! This is far more entertaining than anything Hollywood can come up with.

CLEARLY the Daily Kos is part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy!” Can’t you all see it?

I have to agree with Greg Neubeck on this, this can’t come to anyone as any surprise. Hillary is the most ruthless, most duplicitous, most untrustworthy, and most determined politician we’ve ever seen.

She will say anything, do anything, imply anything, and publish anything under the table that she can to achieve her objective.

Her idol, Communist Saul Alinsky, taught her that power was the only thing she need concern herself with, and that winning that power was the only important thing to remember when in a campaign. Winning is everything, doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it.

She is evil, she is a danger to this country, she wants to make major changes to this country’s freedom base and give the State more power over it’s citizens. All from a Marxist base. Go research her beliefs in Marxism and her ties to Communists. One tie we all know of, that that’s with Communist China. How could it be surprising that there are others?

Re-defeat Communism! Defeat Hillary!

I think it is kind of funny the blacker you are the more negative you are and this is coming from the guy who is going to bring us together. What is Obama complaining about? I thought he was going to be the first Black president.

Nick Kasoff   March 5th, 2008 - 6:20 pm

Yeah, they needed to darken him, because up until now, we all thought he was white. Him, and Michael Jackson, just a couple of jive talkin’ white boys. Yep.

This reminds me of the old Star Trek episode where one guy was white on the left side and black on the right, and the other guy was white on the right and black on the left. They couldn’t get along because one was half white and one was half black. Who really cares? A commie in any color is still a commie.

Please just the ISSUES…if Obama can not deal with skin tone! I do not think we should judge a person on skin tone. I have never heard Condi Rice complain about some VERY negative coverage. Please Obama argue the issues with Hillary (but when you do not have a grasp of the issues you go for SKIN TONE). The Light Black Messiah has NO clothes!! Hate to say it she is looking better all the time.

[...] Uproar over The Darkening. [...]
