Barack Obama has white ancestors who owned slaves. This work has already been done.
But so do most people in this country. This is completely irrelevant.

If 0bama isn't responsible for his terrorist acquaintance activities when he was 8 years old then why is this pertinent to McCain for something that happened before he was even born?

Headline of truth you'll never see in MSM:
Nigerian Descendants of Africans Who Sold into Slavery
Blacks Owned by Ancestors of John McCain
have Already Illegally Donated to Obama's Campaign.

And they are contributing to Obama’s campaign under the radar a la what happened with Nixon. They’ll help us become more like them and their wonderful forms of government.

Yeah? Well, Obama's Arab ancestors held MY ancestors as slaves in Egypt for 420 years!

Descendents of slaves owned by ancestors of John McCain will vote for Barack Obama But, of course, it isn't about race. Yeah...sure...right.
To: pabianice
I am sure McCain's ancestors were slaves of the writer of this piece if you go back far enough.

Just remember...if you are black, and vote for a (semi) black man just because he is black, you are a "free thinking independent voter, affirming the positive changes in our outmoded world."
If you are white, and vote for a (semi) black man just because he is black (and KEWL), you are a "brave nonconformist, who is not afraid to embrace our changing society."
Of course, if you are white and vote for anyone but a (semi) black man, you are "a racist bastard who must be re-educated by the mainstream media."

What about the descendants of slaves owned by the ancestors of Obama? Are you sure that the question isn't "What about the descendants of slaves SOLD by the ancestors of Obama?

These morons not only vote for the party of slavery but vote for the guy whose beloved paternal african tribe, the Luo, were major players in capturing and selling slaves, possibly their ancestors. The dirty little secret; black africans traded in slaves before, during and after the era of slavery in America and were responsible for capturing and selling those slaves.

"He should just get on TV right away and say “Yes my family owned slaves way way way back in the past, but today I am a proud father of an African American daughter who I love deeply.”McCain's daughter was adopted from Bangladesh.

No black anger or revenge there??? We have an educated psychologist who is too ill with anger to act in the best interest of her nation and not act based on her own pique

I suppose she is hoping Lord Obama will pay reparations for descendants of former slaves.

As I am sure a lot of us do, I was skimming the article. There was a paragraph that said “One of his cousins still owns 1500 of the original 2000....”
I had to stop right there, because I thought it was going to say he still owned the slaves.
Acres...not slaves. Couldnt put it past the media for reporting it other way though.
I thought it was funny....

What about the descendants of slaves owned by the ancestors of Obama? The descendants of slaves owned by the ancestors of Obama in America will never be mentioned by the liberal news media.
The descendants of slaves owned by the ancestors of Obama in Africa are not eligible to vote in a U.S. election.

Fortunately, the Obama-Ayers defense is now a matter of precedent, and we now get to invoke it for McCain, to wit:
All of this happened way BEFORE John McCain was 8, so none of it matters.
