What gets my goat about the "Blacks against Obama" protestors.
EVERYTHING!

First of all, there are people who are black who will not vote Obama.. If they had stood there with "No Obama" signs, hey free country, stupid, but free country.

But this is just like those "Women are against Obama" signs. DUH! As a women, that just bothered the living day lights out of me. Not that they were against Obama, again, free country, some people are stupid, there you have it. But that they get this special attention that ends up with a gazillion posts around here wondering why white women of a certain age are not voting Obama. arrgghhhhhh

These protesters are dishonest in their presentation, trying to represent an entire group.

I know a number of veterans who are getting more than a little ticked for the same reason, one group (McCain) trying to pull off this idea that all veterans are for republicans.

But a KKK sign, that is even lower than low. But Obama is a better person than me, that is for sure.

3. Don't look at them as black, look at them as protesters.

It will ease the pain. I don't vote for gender or color. Let's say for example that I held a sign up for Hill to see, that was not in support of her. It would have nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman, I simply don't agree with her. Vagina votes for vagina...black votes for black? Not necessarily.

Edited to add that these folks are likely paid by the *Cain folks IMO. Think PUMA.

4. CNN gave them plenty of airtime
They even freeze framed so we could read the signs. Why do they never show the protesters and signs at McCain rallies? :eyes:
