4. Were you a listener to "black radio" before?
IF this election has gotten you to tune it, then that's a good thing.

16. The Clintons are not racists, but they will use racist and homophobic language to advance their aims
Bill Clinton signed DOMA in hopes of increasing his appeal to bigots, so we wouldn't be surprised he used coded racist language in slamming Obama on PBS's Charlie Rose show.

7. Well considering this is between Hillary and Obama is it necessary?
But if you want to bring it up, go right ahead. I ain't stopping you.

9. So since his FATHER said something negative over 20 years ago he is discredited?
LOL ok go right ahead with that. Do I need to go ahead and start looking to see what white candidates and surrogates had ancestors who owned slaves?

11. no different than pasting Clinton fro what Johnson said is it?
my point is that this whole thing stinks to high heaven and Rove is rolling on the floor. And if you think for one minute that Turd Blossum hasn't stirred the black pot you are completely naive and know little of politics and how it works in the back ground. Why do you think these political gurus make the really big bucks? It ain't for organizing banquets and news conferences.

13. Much different, as I said Johnson's spoke RIGHT before Hillary and his comments. . .
. . .were most likely vetted.

18. “White America got their wake-up call after 9-11. White America and the Western Obama's Pastor
I think this is more racist...don't you! The media is holding this and the rest..just in case...

http://www.israpundit.com/2007/?p=7069 their are many sites with all kinds of info...

We welcome back to discuss that MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan and nationally syndicated radio show host Bill Press. Now, I have kind of liked Barack Obama from the very beginning. He seems moderate in tone. I spent all morning reading Jeremiah Wright online. All the church newsletters are available. The guy is a full-blown hater, actually. This is just pulled at random.

Here is his attack on Natalee Holloway as a slut. “Black women are being raped daily in Africa. One white girl from Alabama gets drunk at a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and gives it up while in a foreign country and that stays in the news for months.” In other words, she is a slut.

Nine-eleven, he says: “White America got their wake-up call after 9-11. White America and the Western world came to realize people of color had not gone away, faded in the woodwork, or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.” So 9-11 was payback for white racism. I mean, it goes on, and I will read more.

22. Because 20 year old anti-semitism is relevant for this particular discussion?

12. The slug fest should be about economic issues.
As this is turning out to be one of the more crucial issues. Obama has finally come out with a plan to boost the economy- - and it has repercussions for all of us, especially our children that might have to pay for it. I hope they are comparing Obama's plan to Edward's and Hillary's plan.

Does your Black Radio care about the real issues?

17. Racism isn't a 'real' issue in your mind?
Unbelievable.

20. I see, so white people are the only ones who get to define 'racism'
Isn't that special? And convenient.

23. Didn't you get the memo we Black folks have to look to white folks for confirmation on racism. . .
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 08:52 AM by wndycty
. . .if they don't think its racist we must move on and shut up.

24. Now, now...remember, the economy is a "real issue", not racism
Now take your medicine from the nice white Hillary supporter and just be quiet. *vomit*

25. I like to listen to Black talk radio and Spanish talk radio to get different
point of views. I learn a lot about other cultures here in Chicago. I've noticed however like other radio stations that are mostly white and liberal or conservative there are many different ideas coming from the various talk show hosts.

26. Just heard a clip of Bill whining on TJM about nobody giving Hilly a chance
to tell her side of the story. Bill: HRC and her campaign have been engaged in a racemongering monologue ever since Iowa. She IS the story here.

The latest polling that shows Obama making huge gains with blacks across the country obviously has him panicked.

27. As it should be. If the DLC and RNC have their way, blacks will be made irrelevant as a voting bloc
along with blue collar workers. :(
