"Is the Obama Campaign Orchestrating These Weird Episodes by Blacks to Make Him Look Normal?"
Well, Alonzo did publish his phone number with this disgusting weirdness if you want to contact him!


=====

Contact: Alonzo Brooklyn, 678-367-3696

MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- I am an African-American Christian, but I find it strange that Barack Obama could suffer so many unfortunate events by his own people who are suppose to be ecstatic about him possibly becoming the first black president of these United States of America.

First, there was the strange "showing out" by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club, after he had been embarrassed for cussing out America from God's pulpit. I found it very odd for a man who has an earned Doctorate to behave like a seventeen year old, defending himself in a high school yard.

Then there was the Catholic priest, who, by the way, preaches just as good as any black Baptist preacher, who went into Trinity United Church of Christ (Barack Obama's home church and Wright's former pastorate) and cussed Hillary Clinton out in God's pulpit.

Then there was our dear friend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who threatened to cut off the presidential candidate's "manhood" on national television, and on FOX at that. And in the same conversation, he called us "niggers". You talk about an unfortunate event. I find it hard to believe that a man of Rev. Jackson's sophistication would be that dumb to say such things on national television or anywhere else for that matter, without getting some reward.

Another recent unfortunate event comes through the "genius" Ludacris, who thought he should help the presidential candidate by calling the former first lady a bitch and disparaging McCain in his rap song that praises Obama. I refuse to believe that the "genius" Ludacris is that dumb.

Finally, we come to this asinine episode of today with some young black dudes holding up a perfectly designed sign, heckling Barack Obama about paying more attention to black issues. Now this one was just plain stupid to me. And I find it hard to believe they did this without some coaching by the Obama camp, because even though Barack Obama has made some mistakes, balancing the race issue is not one of them.

What's next people to prove that Obama is one of them? Rev. Al Sharpton and the NAACP marching against Obama for trying to be the president of all of America and not just Black America?

1. Yeah, Obama LOVES being embarrassed by members of the AA community
and having to apologize or answer for them. Keeps race front and center, which we all know HELPS Obama, right? :sarcasm:

3. I doubt very seriously that the Obama camp
has anything to do with this. The African American community have different voices and views like any other group. It doesn't benefit him for the focus to be on race.

4. Dear Alonzo:
Have you been living on a deserted island for the last 25 years? You find these episodes "strange"? The Republicans will seize on anything and blow it up into a "scandal" or a "controversy." Wake up, Mr. Brooklyn.

5. Uh, the Republicans didn't invent those people...using them to their advantage is smart politics
for them. We can understand the phenomenon without liking it.

6. And don't forget the enablers
Have you seen McCain having to answer for anything every one of his supporters say? There's only one candidate that has to explain himself for his supporters, and it isn't McThuselah. For example, Straight Talkin' Johnny Maverick claims he's not going to have any lobbyists on his campaign team, but his campaign is rife with lobbyists. You see his advisors - like Phil Gramm - calling everyone whiners. But does McCain have to answer for the lobbyists? Does he have to answer for his economic advisor? He does not.

Meanwhile, the Today Show leads off a full week of shows with truncated clips of Rev. Wright, demanding that Osama answer for it. And this sort of thing has been happening for decades. It doesn't matter who the candidate is or what happens around the candidate, the Republicans will gin up a "controversy" or an "outrage" relentlessly fed by Hannity, Limbaugh, Scarborough, Savage, Larson, and the rest of the echo chamber, and the popular media sooner or later "demand" responses. It's not politics, it's the way the playing field is tilted.

Obama's done a superior job dealing with this ersatz dudgeon, and he's gotten some good support (for a change) from his party colleagues.

7. Is ersatz dudgeon higher than high dudgeon? haha...sorry couldn't resist.
The thing is, they play dirty...they know it, we know it and most Americans know it and yet it's politically effective. It's damn hard to fight that kind of thing without -seeming- to be vindictive; an image they happily encourage.
