Fear of a Black Planet, the "I hate that negro because he has class" edition
This is just so unbelievable it feels like I am in an episode of the Twilight Zone's rendition of Lord Of The Flies.
The fact that the accusation has been published in a few newspaper blogs makes it even worse : LA Times and Chicago Tribune are both alleging that Obama flipped the middle finger to Clinton during the course of a speech in North Carolina.
This.
Insanity.
Has To.
STOP!
You know, because he can't have that much class. Obama could have never scratched his face just because. Especially when it is in the middle of one of the snarkiest and wittiest dressings-down of the media and political elite by any presidential candidate in recent memory.
Yes, you read that right. Some idiot over at both the Chicago Tribune, LA Times took the spweage of several pro-Clinton and Republican blogs and ran with it. They actually took the time to slow down the footage to show how Obama's scratching his face is somehow akin to flipping the bird.
It's just ... OMFG ... this is just outrageous!
A brother cannot have class at all. That's basically what these people are saying. How can he take it and throw it back at them with the class, intelligence and snark they only attribute to their own whiteness? How can this negro be a thug without being a nigger? How can he brush it off and still look damn fucking good doing it.
Their racist little minds just don't get it.
Harold Ford, jr in Tennessee
To get a hint of what we will be in for, look back at the "call me" ads targeting Harold Ford, jr. in the 2006 Tennessee Senate race. Guaranteed the same tactics done by the same people will play in 2008. You can also read about it in the Political Brain, by Drew Westin. The Republicans are going to get nastier than we have ever seen them nationally and we had better be prepared whether Clinton or Obama is nominated.

Get ready kids,
You are about to witness what your forefathers went through since even after slavery. The core nutjob base of the republican machine (read: racist hating white people) can't fathom a classy black man and WILL make up ANYTHING to pull him down.
People you might have thought to be nice will turn inside out at the very thought of a black man sleeping in the white house. With his black wife.....they just can't wrap their pea brains around it because they're not really Americans anymore. They're the guys that demanded the constitution be compromised to preserve slaver at the founding of this nation. They're the rich whites that own the means of transport, printing and control many religious institutions. And theyre the poor folk that hate because all they've been taught says hate the black man.
It'll get much worse....and then when Obama is elected we'll hear a collective 'pop' as they're heads implode from shock. Fine by me. I'm tired of this country being run by people that cant think they're way out of a wet paper bag.
