received a viral email today about Obama
And, though I am voting for McCain, I find this to be a horribly racist rant and I’m so pissed that I’m venting into the blogosphere… The link to the actual author’s blog page is at the end of this posting.
The gist of this drivel is that Obama is an empty suit who has been placed on a pedestal by white liberals seeking redemption for the sins of slavery but, according to this “rational conservative” Christian author, in fact Obama is a son of slave-selling Muslim Arabs.
His Kenyan father may have been Muslim, a fact that the politician Obama obviously doesn’t advertise since he wants to win, but that does NOT make him Arab; it makes him a black African Muslim, yes potentially of Arab decent. Just going off names, the author of this right-wing upchuck has a name that rings of “descended from convicts rejected by Australia.”
Nor is there any excuse for intimating that Obama is “hiding” that his family sold slaves: as if the ethnicity and/or the sins of our ancestors were controlled by us.
One thing that is not correctly acknowledged by any of these diatribes is the extraordinary organization and team that Obama created: this guy built a grass-roots campaign, heavily funded by locals, and intelligently targeted specific districts to maximize his political impact and, as importantly, kept his team on-message in the face of extraordinary opposition from the establishment (Clintons). This was not luck nor a silver-spoon inheritance, it was intelligent hard work that deserves praise. The man did not “not do anything,” he beat all odds and won the Democrat’s nomination for god’s sake!
Anyone who judges Obama based on this piece of shit cloaked in holier-than-thou shineola deserves another four years of vapid Bush, BUT DON’T DO IT IN MY COUNTRY! Use your damn brain and vote; if you don’t like Obama, pull the other lever or don’t vote, but crap like this does nothing whatsoever to further humanity.
Go McCain ‘08.
And Go To Hell pompous holier-than-thou bible-thumping fearmongering blowhard racists.
