The Black McCains

Posted by Kim S. on October 22, 2008

“Yes, Virginia, Sen. John McCain does have black relatives in Mississippi.”

I found this video over at Politico. It appears that Sen. McCain ancestors owned some slaves in Oxford, Mississippi about 150 years ago and many of there descendants still live in area. The video is very interesting. However, family ties doesn’t mean Sen. McCain is getting their votes.

Digg!

Obama vs McCain Round 3 — I am not President Bush

Posted by Kim S. on October 16, 2008

At last night’s debate, Sen. John McCain thought he slammed Sen. Barack Obama when he said “I am not President Bush, if you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run four years ago”. Ooooooh! You really told him Sen. McCain. Well leave it to Obama and his campaign to take said slam and throw it back in his face. Check out this video:

Love it! By the way CNN, FOX, and CBS all report viewers though Obama won. Less than 20 days to go. Let’s get it! YES WE CAN!!!

"That One"

Posted by Kim S. on October 8, 2008

The 2008 version of “You People”. Has it really come to this? Sen. John McCain couldn’t even refer to Sen. Barack Obama as person, as a man, instead he’s a ‘That’. A thing, an object. Sen. McCain dislike (or is it disdain?) for Sen. Obama was more than obvious! Maybe I’m being overly
sensitive? But with Tina Fey Gov. Palin’s borderline racist attacks against Sen. Obama, McCain/Palin surrogates oh so subtle reminders of Barack’s middle name (Hussein) and supporters screaming ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him’ at their campaign rallies, I think I am justified in believing the ‘that one’ comment was more than Sen. McCain just condescending and sarcarstic.

What’s McCain gonna do at the last debate? Call him ‘boy’? Too obvious? How bout ‘uppity’. Its been used before by a McCain supporter. It is amazing to me just how nasty the McCain campaign has become. And just I love the coded language McCain and Palin have been using.

“I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.” Palin has said.

In other words he’s not like you and me — you know, white. Keith Olbermann referred to this in his special comment Monday night saying,”it’s a nifty trick to remind the white folk that (psst) Obama is black.”

But it doesn’t seem to be working. After last night’s debate, the polls from the various networks — NBC, CBS, CNN, and even FOX News (they didn’t cook the numbers??? Truly a sign of the Apocalypse) — the American people have said Sen. Obama won the debate in a format that was suppose to be in Sen. McCain’s favor. Heck even some Republican’s are calling it for Obama, including Bill “I’m a Gambler” Bennett.

“I confess I so much admire McCain, but I just don’t think the campaign is equal to the story,’ he said. “I just don’t think it’s equal to the man, it hasn’t been. … We needed a breakthrough, talking about the economy. I think he was a little better than last time, but he didn’t break through enough, and he’s behind. So it just wasn’t good enough for McCain in terms of what it had to be.”

Ouch.

So much for the race baiting Sen. McCain, it looks like ‘that one’ won the debate.

Yet Another Reason Why Rappers and Politics Don’t Mix

Posted by Kim S. on September 2, 2008

I found this on the Huffington Post. The originator of the “Vote or Die” campaign of 2004, Diddy, expressing his views about John McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin. There’s a point in there somewhere…I think…

Maybe he should think about returning to Howard University and completing that degree.

Paris Hilton for President

Posted by Kim S. on August 6, 2008

Don’t worry, its a joke.

Funny or Die recently created a spoof response ad to the John McCain ad that compares Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In the video, Miss Hilton mistakenly believes that getting a shout out in the McCain ad means she’s running for President. The video is hilarious! Listen to explain her energy plan!!!

Where’s the Media Coverage of Rev. John Hagee’s Comments?

Posted by Kim S. on May 22, 2008

Comments John McCain’s pastor John Hagee’s made in a sermon from the 1990s about Adolph Hitler “doing God’s will” have recently come to light. However, this story does not seem to be getting a lot of play in the mainstream media. The Huffington Post and Keith Olberman and Dan Abrams of MSNBC have covered it, but these comments do not seem to be getting the media saturation that Barack Obama’s former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright received. Double standard? Hmm…. Here’s the audio of the comments posted on YouTube.
