How An Intentional Collaboration To Vote For
Barack Obama Could Amount To Mass Homocide And Murder In The First Degree Charges For Millions…

Serious Risk Of Massive Fatal Heart Attacks Exists For High Numbers Of White Racists Should Obama Be Sworn To The Presidency

I know, I know — you think I’m joking again, but be assured, I am NOT. According to some disturbing facts released in today’s Washington Post article by Kevin Merida entitled Racist Incidents Give Some Obama Campaigners Pause, THEORETICALLY speaking, millions of racist-despising individuals who are currently backing Senators ["I Shalt Be Thine QUEEN!"] Hillary Rodham Diane Clinton and the Panamanian-born Senór John “Maverick” McCain, could band together to vote Barack Obama with ONE END-RESULT IN MIND: the instant deaths of potentially, TENS OF THOUSANDS of backwards, inbred, racist HICKS…

Some “snippets” from The WaPo article mentioned above:

“… Danielle Ross was alone in an empty room at the Obama campaign headquarters in Kokomo, Ind., a cellphone in one hand, a voter call list in the other. She was stretched out on the carpeted floor wearing laceless sky-blue Converses, stories from the trail on her mind. It was the day before Indiana’s primary, and she had just been chased by dogs while canvassing in a Kokomo suburb. But that was not the worst thing to occur since she postponed her sophomore year at Middle Tennessee State University, in part to hopscotch America stumping for Barack Obama.

Here’s the worst: In Muncie, a factory town in the east-central part of Indiana, Ross and her cohorts were soliciting support for Obama at malls, on street corners and in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and they ran into “a horrible response,” as Ross put it, a level of anti-black sentiment that none of them had anticipated.

“The first person I encountered was like, ‘I’ll never vote for a black person,’ ” recalled Ross… “

(Snip!)

“… Doors have been slammed in their faces. They’ve been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they’ve endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can’t fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president. …”

(Snip!)

“… Victoria Switzer, a retired social studies teacher, was on phone-bank duty one night during the Pennsylvania primary campaign. One night was all she could take: “It wasn’t pretty.” She made 60 calls to prospective voters in Susquehanna County, her home county, which is 98 percent white. The responses were dispiriting. One caller, Switzer remembers, said he couldn’t possibly vote for Obama and concluded: “Hang that darky from a tree!” …

Hmm. “Haingg that there durned darkie from a tree”. Can we say “knuckle-dragging mouth breathers”, folks?

THESE are the people who would become the victims of a coordinated, mass-murder plot via “vigilanté justice” via an intentional, “Perry Mason esque” twist at the end of the story. Would this be a better world, should these yellow-toothed, tin hat wearing FOOLS perish at the hands of such murderers? Very few would argue against the fact it would…

However; may I remind you — there is no “death penalty” for being an inbred racist. Nor should there be. And taking the law into one’s own [collective] hands is NEVER the “principled” option. On the other hand, I must admit I’m not “perfect” either. I might just choose to look the other way and take it up with my maker at the other end of the journey.

MS-01: Last Stop Til November

The special election in Mississippi's first district today will likely be our final opportunity before November to turn a red seat blue. Coming on the heels of our wins in IL-14 and LA-06 earlier this year, a win by Democrat Travis Childers in MS-01[...]

"The nutjobs might have been kind of right about
the Clintons this whole time."

In response to my earlier post about Hillary, AMERICAblog reader Anne sent me a note that echoes what I've been hearing from a lot of Democrats of late:

I used to love Bill Clinton. Love him. I didn't particularly like Hillary (her comments on John Kerry's "botched joke" sums up why) but I wouldn't have minded her as the nominee, though I didn't see how she could win. But this whole primary season has been about dealing with the sinking realization that the nutjobs might have been kind of right about the Clintons this whole time. That's not a good feeling. It's like finding out my mom eats puppies. (She doesn't.... as far as I know.) -- Anne

Matthews on "older women" who "get really angry
at me": "[T]hey usually have a hard time figuring out what the fact I was wrong on, but that's OK"

During the May 13 edition of MSNBC'sMorning Joe,guest host Chris Matthews, also host of MSNBC's Hardball, stated: "Ifyou talk to people, older women, and I don't mean older than me, butmaybe my age and older, and you talk to them, and they get really angry at me, ofcourse. They get -- we have nice arguments,and I try to be respectful and say, 'Well, you know, that's a pointof view,' and I say, 'If I ever get anything wrong on the air, letme know, on a fact.' And they usually have a hard time[...]

The Media Downplays West Virginia , Focuses on
Obama and McCain

Update: The first discussion of West Virgina I've heard is happening with Terry McCauliffe talking to Chris Matthews. He says Hillary will win W. Va. by 2:1 and by possibly 200,000 votes. He expects she will be ahead in the popular vote once KY and Puerto Rico vote, counting the 2.3 million votes in FL and MI. He says she will give the best speech ever tonight, he's seen a copy. He says the superdelgates will go her way once they realize she's better to beat McCain. He still expects the race to be decided in June.

****

The media is focused on Barack Obama. Even his flag pin is more important than the West Virginia primary. MSNBC is running Obama's delegate numbers at the bottom of the screen. Fox News is reporting on various state elections. My local news is talking about Roy Romer's endorsement of Obama today.

Matthews even says Obama's speech tonight was bad. Olbermann mocks McCauliffe's characterization of her speech. [More...]

CNN analysts discuss Obama's speech. MSNBC is discussing McCain and Obama. Olbermann says to the Governor of West Virginia, "lets look past W. Va." The Governor, who is an uncommitted superdelegate, wants to talk about how high the voter turnout is. Olbermann responds by asking what West Virginia has to change to be able to have a November win for Obama.

The media is diminishing West Virginia reporting mostly how white, rural, poor and uneducated the voters are.

Polls close in 45 minutes. I wonder if they will even report the results as they come in like they've done with every other primary. I suspect they'll call the race for Hillary at 6:31 pm and then go back to discussing Obama.

Russert to Obama: Why Do You Hate Cheap Gas

From the tone of Tim Russert's question on Meet the Press last week, you'd think Barack Obama was denying food to starving children:

MR. RUSSERT: Why are you against giving taxpayers in Indiana, North Carolina, a relief from federal gasoline tax this summer?

The nerve of that Obama! You know what other jerks are against giving taxpayers in Indiana and North Carolina "relief" (a term once limited to hardcore libertarian propaganda, now a common in the media)? Taxpayers in Indiana and North Carolina.

It may have marked a turning point in America's energy policies. While Hillary Clinton and John McCain have tried to pander to voters by offering them cheap gas, it's backfired. Americans are finally saying they don't want short-term cheap gas -- they want solutions that would take long-term pressure off energy prices, like more fuel efficient cars and American-made renewable energy.

Now that the Indiana and North Carolina primaries are behind us, the media has finally recognized this, crediting Barack Obama's willingness to stand up to Hillary Clinton with his resurgence.

How out of touch was the media on this issue? For sports fans, this is roughly equivalent to, while the winners are celebrating on the pitcher's mound, standing up and confidently predicting the World Series champs.

The Green Miles has been way behind on criticism of media coverage of environmental issues this campaign season. So this week, you get a double dose. Tomorrow, I'll take a look at Hillary Clinton's appearance on ABC's This Week.
