"Obama caused Prop. 8 to pass!": With black folks coming out in huge numbers to support Barack Obama, enough Black people voted to pass the proposition, goes this argument. The problem is that there just aren't that many black people to have changed the outcome one way or another. In California, blacks are the only ethnic group to be declining in population. |

As you can imagine, coach Mack Brown kicked him off the team immediately. Buck then issued an apology that was obviously not written by him. |

» Explosive Racism…
Tuesday's historic election didn't magically erase racism here in America. In fact, it may have fueled some new adherents. Four students North Carolina State University have admitted to writing horrific messages against President-elect Barack Obama, including one that read "Shoot Obama." And that's the nicest they get. [Interstate Q] |
» "Deplorable."
More racist grossness, kids: "University of Kentucky police are investigating who hung an effigy of Democrat Sen. Barack Obama from a tree on the Lexington campus Wednesday morning. UK President Lee Todd, after a press conference Wednesday, said that UK police have notified federal authorities of the incident… UK police took down the effigy and have it as evidence, Todd said. He called the act "deplorable" and says that type of behavior is not tolerated on UK's campus." [Pol Watchers] |

While the vice-presidential nominee went on a crazy cat lady rant about how Obama's policies would make it so that the things a person buys aren't theirs (a lie, by the way), one of her supporter's decided to cut the chit chat and get right to the heart of the matter: "he's a nigger!" Palin says nothing of the slur, a move that's cowardly at best and a tacit agreement at worst. |

» Damned!
Janet Porter, the right-winger who "cast" a news report from a dystopic post-Obama future, has sunk to even lower depths of insane evil. Rather than beating around the bush, so to speak, Porter recently wrote that people who vote for Obama will burn in hell: "To all those who name the name of Christ who plan to willfully disobey Him by voting for Obama, take warning. Not only is our nation in grave danger, according to the Word of God, so are you … [T]his election is not about race. It's not about the economy. It's about obeying God." [RWW] |

» Campaign Collaboration?
"John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established — and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions." [TPM] |

This epically long election season has clearly taken a toll on John McCain. The Republican Senator screwed up royally in Western Pennsylvania yesterday when he accidentally sided with Democrats who have called the region racist. Said McCain: "You know, I think you may have noticed that Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about Western Pennsylvania lately. And you know, I couldn't agree with them more." Whoops! |

Click through to see video of some Republicans at a Virginia rally – a few of them Muslim – swarming and haranguing two jackasses who are defaming Obama by saying he's an Islamic Communist. Surprisingly, the guy with the sticker on his head is one of the rational folk. |

But something else he said that may get lost in the shuffle is just as important, if not more so. He criticized the GOP for spreading the lie that Obama is a Muslim, but he also spoke at length about the harm that such accusations do to Muslim Americans in this country. Powell specifically mentioned this photo of Elsheba Khan hugging the Arlington Cemetery gravestone of her son, a Muslim who died at the age of 20 while serving in Iraq. Judging Americans like Khan or her dead son, Kareem, based solely on their religion "is not the way we should be doing it in America," he said. |

Appearing on NBC's Meet The Press yesterday, General Powell expressed his concern of McCain's economic ignorance and ever-changing, negative campaign direction before diving into full blown Obama adoration. Describing the Democrat as a "transformational figure," Powell went on to laud the Senator's "steadiness," "intellectual vigor" and "inclusiveness." |

Let's run through the list: first, Obama's a donkey, then there's the floating ribs, watermelon and Kool-Aid. Oh, and not to mention that delicious bucket of fried chicken! Too bad those silly white people forgot the greens. (It's not as if black people don't eat their vegetables!) [via Pam's House Blend] |

"I don't like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash." That's just one of the many, many idiotic, racist and downright despicable comments made at a recent Sarah Palin rally in Ohio. Another attendee griped, "When you've got a negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He's definitely a second-stringer." For that quote, we're going to hope the speaker said "negro" and not "nigger." The accents a bit rough. (God, we never thought we'd be praying for "negro.") Anyway, this shit makes that other scary Palin rally look tame. Oh, and the piece is for Al Jazeera's English news station. Yay! |
