One Word About the Timing of Nader’s Racial Rant

Is is possible for Ralph Nader or John McCain to “talk black”?
Would the media hyperventilate over it if someone asked it about them?

Great question… Media, can you ask Nader and McCain if they can “talk black”?

What a perfect diversion. I’m sure Obama is thrilled about it. But you’re not fooled.
I think a better distraction is all of McCain’s flip-flops. I can keep track of Obama’s, but I have no idea where McCain stands on anything. I’m very afraid it may be early Alzheimer’s. Scary.

JAKE
why did mccain opt into public finance when his campaign was in shambles, take out a loan, opt out of public finance, raise cash and spend cash well above what the public finance systema llows in a primary per state, and then opt back in, and then call obama a great disappointment?
Why are you reporting that he only supports the fisa bill, what about the rest of the story?
when he says hes going to try to remove immunity for telecoms
so geevil i guess your wrong not everyone in the media is for obama or willing to tell the truth…
i think mccains gotten a pretty easy ride from his “base”

Obama and McCain tied in the Gallup daily poll track. There are still more than 10% of people undecided. Following the primary trend, undecided voter broke again Obama on the voting day, Obama will lose the ge.

hey pete i totally agree the only thing mccain is good at is flip flopping i dont know what he stands for and what he dont i dont think he knows me being an independent i tried to give mccain the benifit of the doubt but your right hes too scary to be president he makes me dizzy with his flip flopping i will be quite happy with my decision to vote for obama in nov

Nader nailed it this time – his remarks are exactly what I felt about Obama. He in fact intentionally hides a lot of black hatred toward white so as to avoid irking the white votes he needs. This is exactly the same thing he did to the Muslim community that several major newspaper articles have reported recently. He can ignore the black community because he knows he will get their 100% vote. But he has to pander the whites by talking about things that white people like to hear.
It is nothing wrong with the positive stuff he is using to portrait himself, but I just don’t trust him – what exactly he believes? His words are no longer to be trusted.

i cant help but laugh at your post because it sounds like your talking about mccain but you kept saying obama
lol thought i would correct you on that one
after all mccain is the king of the flip flop
teh biggest pander bear at the zoo

i also think its funny that yesterday all the repub people on here were running around saying… polls dont matter, so what if all the polls have him up, its too early to tell anything… what a sham
and then suddenly a poll comes out that is the only poll to have them tied and its like
HAHAHAHHA IN YER FACE WERE WINNING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

bhrandon – there is no public finance for the primary and McCain actually spent very little.
He won spending about 10$ per delegate, meanwhile Obama spent over a 1000$ per delegate!!
got to wonder!!
Hey Libs follow your leader Obama and say you are going to Vote for him, then do not show up election day and then on the next day say you voted for him, if you want to be like him then act like him!!

“amy
meanwhile ever other poll has obama up by 7-15
hmmm wonder which one is an outlier?”
Don’t get too excited. It’s only June. Plenty of time for typical Americans to get to know Mr. empty suit.

Whoopee angie – 90% of the blacks did & will vote for BO because he is black For those of you that keep talking polls then you better check those because those are the facts of what did happen.

still no one wants to touch on why mccain has broke his promise on public finance, and broke the law on public finance
guess whats good for the goose isnt good for the gander
“my friends i am going to tell you one thing and tomorrow im going to tell other people something completely different, and then someones going to have it on tape and when teh press asks me why i said this yesterday ill say i didnt say that, and then theyll show me this magical thing called video, and pull up web sites and the google and i will have to figure out what it is i have said or didnt say”
iraq was for oil
immigration is fine
bush tax cuts are no good
we should stay in iraq for 100 years
there should be no off shore drilling
i voted for levees
i voted to protect the everglades
i think we should talk to rogue nations
i will not play the fear card
i will not opt into public financing and then opt out again
i am a maverick

hey d bag i dont listen to polls im just simply saying i know black people who dont support him but what about the black person who always had to support the white man for president they did and they didnt cry about it

Does anyone care about/listen to Nader?
Obama’s broken campaign promises–remarkable in their short shelf life (he hasn’t even been elected, let alone sworn in as POTUS yet, and he is already breaking them)–are not mitigated by anything Nader does/says.
The issue is how can we believe that Obama will do anything he pledges to do if elected?
Is this the politics of change or business as usual?

OBAMA is just campaign rhetoric that is so old. Obama tells his audience that John McCain “opposed legislation to fund levees and flood control programs, which he considers pork”. How far can someone go to CHANGE THE TRUTH without so much a comment from the press? Talk about people in Obama’s pockets and in America of all places where the “press” was truthful and informative but are now letting the people down. The bill was to cost the tax payers some $23 billion dollars and was nothing more than a waste of taxpayer’s money because it was full of earmarks and very little for flood control. You know that wasteful spending that Obama himself wants says he is trying to get rid of. What Obama did not tell you is that John McCain and other senators tried to fix the water bill, and get rid of the “pork” and make it a bill that would not waste the taxpayer’s money and get the job done. What Obama did not tell you is that Obama voted against taking the “pork” out of the bill—he voted “nay”. Obama stands for politics-as-usual, more lies and corruption. It is John McCain who stands for change. The amendment steered the money and efforts toward stronger levees and not putting money into politician’s earmarks….like the huge earmark of 17 million that Obama’s church received.

Hope Nader spoils everything for Obama.
Go McCain

Not ranting – it is fact.

LOL mccains now ripping off obamas speeches
obama has been attacking mccain on his 300 million proposal to anyone in the world, by saying “When John F. Kennedy decided that we were going to put a man on the moon, he didn’t put a bounty out for some rocket scientist to win — he put the full resources of the United States government behind the project and called on the ingenuity and innovation of the American people.”
now today we see john mccain talking about “strategic” foreign oil independance (i dont know what strategic means either)by 2025 (i may also remind you iraq war won by 2013)
“Some will say this goal is unattainable within that relatively short span of years — it’s too hard and we need more time. Let me remind them that in the space of half that time — about eight years — this nation conceived and carried out a plan to take three Americans to the Moon and bring them safely home.”
lol nice on mccain now you need some talking points from obama cause hes whoopin ya

Or was it a speech BO ripped off from someone else? We know how he is!

Not sure what to explain. Can we count 1..2? Two small examples of race baiting by BO & his people.
1.)It was BOs people that turned what Bill said into a racial thing. 2.) Now BO is saying “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid,” Obama said at the fundraiser. “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black? He’s got a feisty wife.”

i think your mistaken d bag he was talking about the mccain campaign and if he was talking about bill so be it can you honestly sit there and tell me bill clinton did not use the race card please he used every card thats why hillary lost because of bills big racisit mouth!!!!

I love the people critical of Obama, with Nader and Dodson as enemies, kinda gives me a warm fuzzy for Obama. It’s been said that “you can tell a man by his enemies”, this puts Obama well up there, doesn’t it?

Jake,
Liberals as a whole are GLAD that Obama didn’t take public financing so that really was NOT a big issue.
FISA is a big issue with liberals and many on the left are disappointed with Obama if indeed he votes for the FISA bill. Obama may not though so who knows about that.
In terms of Nader, the vast majority of liberals would not even think of voting for Nader for that means that McCain would be president and there goes the Supreme Court.
I do agree that Nader’s IDIOTIC comments will make it harder for any liberal to vote for Nader. If Nader was smart, he should have just attacked Obama on the FISA bill but by injecting race into the question, Nader has LOST that argument.

LIKE I SAID INDEPENDENT BLACK MAN THE BLACK HAD TO VOTE FOR THE WHITE AND THEY DID AND DID NOT CRY ABOUT IT LIKE THE WHITE PEOPLE ARE PLEASE PEOPLE GET A GRIP!!!

Oh please. This is getting ridiculous.
Now, about that Fake “certification of live birth”……it’s looking very, very likly that it was made on the same computer as that Fake presidential seal……

ARE WE FORGETING HES HALF WHITE NOT THAT THAT SHOULD MATTER LOOK I DONT CARE IF HES GREEN PURPLE OR BLUE COLOR SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS WHO IS GONNA TAKE THIS COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH THE WARS THE ECONOMY GAS PRICES MORTAGES ETC THATS WHAT WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT NOT COLOR GROW UP PEOPLE CHOOSE YOUR CANIDATE ON POLICIES NOT COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple question. If Obama isn’t hiding anything on his real birth certificate, then why not just release it?

The issue is how can we believe that Obama will do anything he pledges to do if elected?
Is this the politics of change or business as usual?

——————————-
What has he PROMISED? Have I missed some real, REAL concrete, specific ideas and plans that BO has PROMISED?
Hurry tell me before he flip flops again and CHANGES his plans. Hurry….

geevil, and if a poll finds McCain & Obama tied, then you know McCain is ahead because people don’t feel comfortable telling a pollster they’re voting against Obama.
Glad to know McCain is winning. Thanks!

First we hear that Michelle Obama said they need to get more whites behind the podium (for the speech) and now they move the muslim women.
Can you say phony? LOL! Geeze, how contrived is this campaign?
Love it.

drudge always puts these phony “shock polls” showing Obama ahead by 12% or 15%. Obama is throwing tons of ad money to drudge. Just like he bought superdelegates and is trying to buy Clinton voters.
Rasmussen Nebraska poll McCain 52% Obama 36%. so much for the new electoral map.

What ever happened to the 8-10% bounce Obama was expecting?

Awww, ABC doesn’t want you to read the PC vs Mac article because it doesn’t reflect well on Obama.

Obama has never been liberal enough for me. But I’d never vote for Nader. What Dems do you hang out with, Jake, who’d even consider jumping to Nader’s ship at this point? They must have been shackled in the hold with no news of the outside world since the Clinton administration. Nader is as fresh as a “Dr. No” reference, a mean-spirited spoiler, in it only for the schadenfreude.

Explanation #1 -the documents were not computer printed in 1961.

Nader would have been better off to say obama was “talking corporate” — but Nader’s comment is certainly not a “racial rant” as the corporate whores at ABC incite it to be.
Obama is doing exactly the same thing as ‘Rebel Al’ Gore did in the summer of 2000, when he first came down from the mountains in fatigues and a Castro beard and briefly promised to average Americans, “I’ll fight those powerful corporate interests for your interests” — and then the DNC and DCL beat up Gore and he caved into the corporate shill that all two-party ‘Vichy’ candidates always become before November.
Obama is just doing what all Democratic horses do in the race.
It’s not an issue of his being a black horse or a white horse — but of being a corporate whore.
