This lady needs a good stiff drink, a cigar, and a clue.

I needed that laugh!

Right. Obama's wife campaigns for him, and it's racist to
criticize her...

I'll give ya racist-

"Declared McKinzie, 'As the head of one of the leading
organizations for African-American women,
I am compelled to speak out'"

[Fox_Mulder77]

That sorority has endorsed Barry, even though McKinzie said in March, "While Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority cannot endorse candidates, the organization supports the uplifting message that Senator Obama is espousing." Here's the sorority's endorsement.

Pepe Le Pew there looks like she just graduated from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls.

I'm already tired of hearing this carp, and the election is months away.

Yes, notice how they’re always “outraged” and “offended.”

I feel so sorry for them.

[freeangel]

The obama’s and their surrogates cry race at every opportunity even though they are the ones making this a “racist” campaign. They made their bed, now they will have to deal with it.

Mrs. McKinzie, as one Greek to another, could you relay a message to your sister Mrs. Obama?

“Don’t start none...won’t be none.”

[jimfree]

I’ve known of the AKA ladies for a while. If they think uniformly like Michelle O, then ...........

[Fox_Mulder77]

This sorority is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.............. they are prohibited from making political endorsements!!! And they endorsed Obama!!!

[Navy Patriot]

Well Babs, if I can’t quote a Republican, can I quote a Democrat?

[SayNoToDems]

Voters need to know...and deserve to know....that Mrs Osama,a graduate of Princeton and Harvard who recently has earned (or,at least,was paid) $300K/yr,only developed a sense of pride in this country a matter of months ago.

[Sprite518]

A who gives a rat's a$$ what AKA thinks???? Furthermore, I guess when you point out the facts, and the other side does not have a defense. Then they attack the messenger. How pathetic...

[MinuteGal]

" 'We must snuff out the embers of racial fear that the ad attempts to ignite', said McKinzie."

Is "snuff" a code word for "assassination"?

Let's ask Liz Trotta for a comment.

"Workers of the World and Oppressed People, Unite! (2nd Comintern Congress, 1920)

Black liberation thinks it’s untouchable. Their feces doesn’t stink and pointing out any mistakes or errors in their judgment, or actions is racist.

The only good I see is that they themselves are pulling back their curtain of hypocrisy they’ve hidden behind for decades.

I’d never heard of the term “black liberation” until recently, and IMO it is a monumental step forward in separating true concerns about racism from the race baiting, victimhood culture that demands kid glove treatment, affirmative action, entitlements and everyone bow to it’s PC culture.

The American people are growing tired of the coddling and stepping around the offended/victim egg shells of their issues. Hopefully, within a few years the absurd aspects of their “cause: will be laughed at publicly by all.

Will Smith?

This type of ad could pose a real threat to the safety of the candidate's wife given America's historic behavior.

Recently I have heard callers to talk shows come right out and say to the host (paraphrasing), "You're going to get Obama killed if you don't shut up."

This follows on the heels of the (IMO) phony "issue" of Hillary's RFK comment. Surprise.

I have not heard so much race talk since the 1960s. The hate-America radicals will likely find it easy to get folks stirred up for another "long hot summer."

You will never get an honest discussion vis-a-vis this "victim" argument, it is a powerful "issue" to be used to shut down anything but admiration of Senator Obama, et al.

I can say without even bother checking that Ms McKinzie cares not one whit that black conservatives are the targets of the most vile insults and lies from her side.

Note to Mr. O'Reilly, mediasmatters, moron.org and other external monitors: please note that my statement was referring to callers who are hostile to conservative radio talk shows, in particular the station they hate the most, KSFO.

I don't disagree. Sunshine is a great antidote to rot.

[freekitty]

Wonder why some of the blacks are always seperating everyone. It’s black this or black that.

I am wondering who the actual racist is?

[ANGGAPO]

Perhaps we should think about this, now. Obama wins the democrat nomination and then loses to McCain in the fall election. With an attitude like that displayed by these “educated students” what are we in for?
