New Fox theme: Electing Obama will boost KKK membership and could start a race war...
Just heard in on Faux news... They reported that the head of the KKK is excited about an Obama presidency because it will boost membership and start the race war. They just thought that "we would want to know this."

So now they are going to start pushing the Obama is endorsed by the KKK theme. Unbelievable.

2. So does that mean a shortage of white sheets if he is elected?
God what a bunch of assholes.

5. Southern Poverty Law Center
has reported on this for weeks. Some white supremacists want him elected b/c they think it'll "wake up" more white people.

7. I actually saw them push this theme of a "race war" months ago
I forget what their "excuse" was then...they have no shame.

9. They'll never push that meme...
It encourages their viewers to vote for Obama.

I'm a little surprised by how nonchalantly Fox announced that they have direct contact with the KKK. I'm not surprised to hear that they do of course *cough*Hannity*cough, but just that they'd be so eager to reveal this fact.

12. So Americans should be afraid of the KKK
Sounds like the 50s and 60s alll over again.....Faux is trying to instigate this and at some point they are going to cross the line.

They are to the point of inciting violence.

Be afraid.....that's all they have because their candidate is losing.

Up is down once again in the right wing. Also, to ease off our dependence on oil, we should drill more.

We all know if it's Faux, it's crap
We all know they can spin anything to their advantage
We all know they have ZERO credibility

They're not worth the time of day

I decided a long time ago to ignore their incoherent
babble. Otherwise, it'll make you :crazy:

17. Faux is saying the majority of white Americans are
raving racists and will destroy this country rather than have an Afro-American president? Whereas African-Americans have accepted white presidents (in fact seemed to have loved a couple) without starting race wars.

So, by Faux's standard, which group has the more mature citizens, the better Americans?

run right out, like all Americans, and join the KKK

19. gee
did they report on the memphis color-blind primary? kkk didn't work out so well there, Faux.

they are sooo sadly out of date and out of touch. now, that's what I call McCaining it.

Way to be a racist, fear-mongering, irrelevant force in the universe. Hey, pssst...We're evolving whether you like it or not and you missed the damn bus. Ignorant, low-level, knuckles-dragging-on-the-ground, gossiping HAGS the lot of them (men included).

23. Faux is preaching to the choir. I think that everyone is going to be
surprised including some of the idiots who watch faux. Obama is aware that he will be the first black president and that he will set the standards for the future. What I expect from him is to work very hard to prove that all this BS is wrong. There may be opposition at first but when they see he is not going to start a blacks only country they will have to give him a chance. I believe he can achieve what needs to be done.

26. There is a bright side guys...For whatever people we lost to PUMA we gained the KKK
vote...the most ironic crap I've ever heard with a healthy dose of stupidity. But it just so happens.

People have always wanted a President to unite the people, he just got all Minorities (progressive whites) and now the KKK to vote for the same man. Different agendas of course, but we have the same end----the future President Obama. McCain lost before this, but now it's official.

Stupidity reigns supreme and we've just got it---cause there won't be a hastened race war and most likely nothing Faux News can pull will work since their biggest funding comes from some of these cats.

28. Let the KKK react.
I wonder if they are going to be sent to Guantanamo Bay if they make threats to our national security. Probably not because they don't attack white people.

44. You'd be accepted. Bill Clinton had the honorary Black Man card, currently it's been revoked.
Or going under processing. So we have plenty of room. Eminem was another one, who had it but got it revoked after the Black Woman comment; then there was Vanilla Ice, he had it until he went mainstream and they turned him into a clown.

Plus the other side include Asians mainly East (they have a bone to pick since Internment)and Latinos...I'm sure Mexicans would be the first ones signed up.

:sarcasm:


The utter hilarity.

Yeah, I've seen the story that prompted it.

This is pretty desperate, but seriously, who would ever change their vote because of it?

Interesting how the post pegged to Faux gets 37+ responses, and the plain vanilla one gets, um, one...

43. This is what the MSM does. They throw crap out there to start a controversy because
without something to alarm or titillate their audience, they would have no audience. A story like this is tailor made for their needs.

45. They actually had a KKK leader on to interview him about a black presidential
candidate?

Fox is blocked on our TV and has been for YEARS, but this is about beyond what my head wants to handle today.
