At a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida, Senator Barack Obama displayed his hypocrisy when he played the race card against Republicans, while whining that he expects Republicans to play the race card against him. This dishonest tactic is straight out of the Democratic Party’s race-baiting political playbook.

Since Obama wants the American people to believe he is disgusted by racism, we call upon Obama to condemn his fellow Democrats for their Jim Crow-style racist attacks against black Republicans because we do not adhere to the Democratic Party’s liberal agenda.

More specifically, we ask Obama to condemn Democrat Senator Joe Biden who boasted proudly on FOX News that his qualification to be president was enhanced because his home state of Delaware held blacks in human bondage. “You don’t know my state,” Biden crowed, “my state was a slave state. “ Imagine the media firestorm that would have ensued if a Republican had uttered such an outrageously racist comment.

We request that Obama denounce Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy who called black Republican judicial nominees, including Justice Janice Rogers Brown, "Neanderthals."

We ask Obama to condemn Democrat Senator Harry Reid who appeared on Meet the Press and attacked black Republican Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, demeaning the justice as an incompetent Negro, incapable of writing good English. “Slap at Thomas stinks of racism,” was the headline of the New York Daily News’ December 7, 2004 editorial.

We request that Obama denounce the Democrats who threw Oreo cookies (black on the outside and white on the inside) onto the stage during an appearance of Maryland’s former Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele when he was seeking a seat in Congress.

We ask Obama to condemn the Democrat bloggers who posted a doctored photo of Michael Steel on the Internet, depicting him as a “Simple Sambo” with a Jim Crow-era “black face,” nappy hair and thick red lips.

We request that Obama denounce the two members of the Democratic Senatorial Committee (DSCC) who resigned in September 2005 after admitting they illegally obtained Michael Steele’s credit report in a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a federal offense. The two culprits were Katie Barge, the DSCC’s research director who pled guilty to a misdemeanor, and her deputy, Lauren Weiner.

We ask Obama to condemn the Democrat talk show hosts and cartoonists who denigrated Dr. Condoleezza Rice after she was nominated to be the first black woman secretary of state. Democrat Pat Oliphant drew Dr. Rice as a big-lipped, buck-toothed squawking parrot, smearing her as an empty-headed stooge. Democrat Jeff Danzinger depicted Dr. Rice as a stereotyped “mammy,” barefoot and ignorant. Democrat Ted Rall referred to Dr. Rice as President Bush’s “House [N-word]”. Democrat John Sylvester characterized Dr. Rice on his radio talk show as a stupid, servile black woman, calling her an “Aunt Jemima”.

We request that Obama denounce Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, a former “Keagle” in the Ku Klux Klan, who led other Democrats, including Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer, in a filibuster of Dr. Rice’s confirmation when she appeared before the Senate for her confirmation hearing.

We ask Obama to apologize for writing a letter in support of former Klansman Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, considering the following facts about Byrd.

- In 2001, Byrd was forced to apologize for using the N-word on television.

- Byrd pushed to have the Senate’s main office building named after Democrat Senator Richard Russell, Byrd’s mentor and leading opponent of anti-lynching legislation.

- Byrd, along with Democrat Senators Sam Ervin and Albert Gore, Sr., was a chief opponent of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and filibustered against the bill for 14 straight hours before the final vote.

- Byrd, along with other racist Democrats, smeared Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the 1960’s. This racist attack on Dr. King was ongoing when Democrat President John F. Kennedy had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a communist in order to undermine Dr. King. The relentless disparagement of Dr. King by Democrats led to his being physically assaulted and ultimately to his tragic death. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King's leaving Memphis, Tennessee after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Byrd called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

We request that Obama apologize to all black Americans for the Democratic Party’s 200-year history of racism against all black Americans as exposed in the books “Unfounded Loyalty” by Rev. Wayne Perryman and “A Short History of Reconstruction” by Dr. Eric Foner.

We ask Obama to embrace the 2006 report by the Commission appointed by North Carolina’s governor which uncovered facts that prompted the Democratic Party of North Carolina to pass a unanimous resolution apologizing for the Democratic Party’s role in the bloody 1898 Wilmington Race Riots where dozens of black Americans were massacred. That apology is on the Internet at: http://www.ncdp.org/node/1546 . In a letter to the North Carolina Democratic Party, Lt. Governor Richard H. Moore wrote: “We can no longer ignore the fact that many of us grew up being taught a much sanitized – and inaccurate – history…. The truth is ugly.”

If Obama refuses to condemn the Democrats for their racist past and current race-baiting against black Republicans, then what right does Obama have to preemptively accuse Republicans of using racism against him?

This is laughable, every one knows the racist elemnt of the Democratic party left with the dixie crats. Where did they resurface? As far I am concern Barak can be in line to apologize behind this president.

for that matter it was the Republicans who freed the slaves

and it was Republicans who passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting blacks freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote

and it was Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting blacks protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations

and it was Republicans who sent U.S. troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools, established the Civil Rights Commission in 1958, and appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation



Your are kidding right you are giving too much credit on the Republican party.............the Republican party was only good for black people until the end of slavery after that it changed to the HATE PARTY........................US troops can only be sent by Congress please dont give me a fallicious statement..............Brown v. Board of Education wasnt a milestone in America it did nothing............and they knew it would do nothing that is why it passed and by the way the whole world was watching the Civil Rights Movement by then that is why it even passed................they would look like idiots


as a political scientist you should already know this stuff, if you weren't blinded by your racism


Listen I am stating facts...........all your doing is trying to change facts to justify your statement and I wont let you .................please do not give the Republican party credit that is not due..................THE REPUBLICAN PARTY USED TO BE A LIBERAL IN THE PAST AND IT CHANGED AS SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED..................REPUBLICANS now do not hold the same ideas as the Republicans before slavery was abolished.....................dont undermine me and by the way I dont have to read a link and copy and paste to know my history.................but im guess you do.......



you don't have to read anything. You can continue to sound like a racist fool

what I posted was from the National Black Republican web site. But you probably don't consider them to be the right kind of blacks since they don't follow your brand of racism


So i was just theorizing yet I still its true...................

Dont be so narrow in your views... The republicans were originally looking out for the good of the people. From what i am told they used to try to keep our spending in check. That is a good thing any way you want to look at it.

There are some hateful republicans, just like there are hateful democrats. Hell i can name you a few liberals right on here that are pretty hateful.

Actually the winning the of civil war was not necesarily a good thing...

It was WONDERFUL that we freed the slave. Everyone deserves to be free. This is a concept i would willingly die for. Unfortunately we all have to sacrifice a bit as we now have a centralized government. This enables for corruption (like what's going on now).

apparently you missed the Vietnam War in history class as Johnson sent troops without asking for a Decloration of War from congress.congress only controls the purse strings,the president can send troops anywhere without their approval.


EXACTLY!!! The two parties don't sound very different now do they? I'm pretty sure a number close to or more than half the dems in congress did vote for us to go to iraq btw....

slaphead slaphead


Since African Americans were given the vote they have always choosen WHITE MEN for presidency.............black people have been a major promoter of white men in a position of power..............so I dont think if a black person especially someone as Obama who is educated and classy who is running for president should not get the black vote...............
So do you mean you are only voting for Obama because of his race? Doesn't he have a white parent in the mix? Almost like defeating your purpose if that is the reason for your vote... still voting for at least half-white. It would be like voting for McCain because of his female running mate.... the novelty of something new. Hmmm.... vote to have the first half-black president, or vote because there is a female on the ticket and if McCain kicks during the term, first female president? Choices, choices, choices..... Oh, wait? Shouldn't it be about the platform and what is going to be done for the betterment of the country? :wink:


For me to vote I have to American which im not....................black people have been voting for RACIST WHITE MEN since they could vote so lets change it up and give that little power to someone else.................Oh yeah so far Bush(who is in the Republican party) has got us into a recession, we have higher gas prices, most of the people that I know are loosing their homes or in the mist of loosing their homes, young men and women have died in a war about oil (in vain), or but the most amazing of all things he is done is set us in a 3 trillion dollar deficit.........................GO REPS............slaphead whoa waving
So much hate and anger.... can never have a logical discussion when hate and anger are involved. How can you expect anyone to take you serious if that is your only argument... Race Race Race. Hell, my ancestors were thrown out of their country, been admonished and abused because of who they were, but I don't feel the need to hold a grudge. It was so long ago and no affect on anything that has happened good or bad in my life. I had control of that. I can't blame anyone for any success or failure I have endured except myself.

Sure, I could quote all kinds of programs designated only for blacks, such as the United Negro College Fund, Miss Black America, etc. I have always, as I am sure many other non-Negro people have, what repercussions would occur if there were White only groups as listed? We all know how that would turn out.

And I REFUSE to add the tag of my heritage before the word American.... I'm American regardless of my color. By doing that it only causes separation amongst the HUMAN RACE once again....
glasses This is a total misunderstanding and mischaracterization of these social programs (and American History).glassesThese programs serve a vital and neccessary sociological purpose.glasses Sociologists have put these programs into effect based on scientifically accurate information gathered over the course of many decades.:smile: Social science in on our side,while all you (and a lot of others)seem to be baseing your conclusions on are your misinformed opinions.flowerforyou

only an out of touch person wouldn't realize that 80% of small businesses make much more than a quarter million dollars annually, and so yes the story does apply because many small businesses are restaurants. you guys are idiots for believing this is only going to touch the wealthy. this tax hike will touch all of us. prices will raise in every market because business owners everywhere will be affected by this.

i think the moral of the story is this: i pay taxes not because i think it's the patriotic thing to do (thanks anyway joe biden). i pay so that i remain a law abiding citizen and i don't want to suffer tghe consequences of not paying.

I would REALLY like to see more conservative members in congress. Whether they are dems or repubs, they are what we need. We need some MAJOR budget cut backs to get us out of the mess we are in.

Unfortunately most of them are Neocons or left wing extremists... These are the people leading us down the path of destruction.
