But Miller said Owens was also Astroturf because most black Americans will stick with Obama seemingly no matter how much of Christianity he opposes in the public square. Miller is essentially telling blacks that they are "more Democrat than Christian".
Some would beg to differ.

Lisa Miller is a slobbering whore of Babylon. How dare she call them astro-turf! Has she been cavorting with Satan’s disciple, Nancy Pelousy? Lisa’s the one that’s astro turf, she should be melted down, tarred and feathered and drive out of town on a rail.

LOL!
Yes, "ignore the black pastors who oppose homo marriage. Now if they supported it and approved of Obama, then we'd want to you listen to them (and we, the "news" media, would be shouting it from the rooftops)".

It doesn’t get much more grassroots than pastors. This is how the monolithic black vote starts to crack.

"But Miller said Owens was also Astroturf because most black Americans will stick with Obama seemingly no matter how much of Christianity he opposes in the public square."Someone who doesn't declare blind allegiance based on skin color is "astroturfing"? "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil..."

Not only does she presume to decide who is an authentic Black and which one is astroturf, but she can’t even imagine a Black thinking for himself. It would be really bad news if she inherits a plantation.

Lisa Miller need to get her paper to do a little research ... maybe take a poll of the black 'community'... I don't know about the rest of you - but our Chick-fil-A had blacks, Hispanics and their children right along side the rest of us with our kids and grandkids...
Blacks are not 'white liberal elites' - even if their votes are what keeps white liberal elites in power... and Lisa needs to understand that...

Lisa Miller is a member in good standing of the white liberal media elite"

It's doubtful she is acquainted with any blacks other than the affirmative action tokens her circle may keep at hand to assuage their "commitment to diversity".

I would place the odds of African Americans defecting the president as about the same as the odds of an asteroid hitting the Earth and wiping out all human life....well, I watched the press conference on C-Span and one minister from North Carolina said they had done a poll showing that up to twenty percent of blacks who had voted for Obama in 2008 were thinking of not going for him this time - and the entire group agreed that their protest was not only about gay marriage, but more generally about Obama "not listening to us" - not reading their newspapers, not attending their conferences, not hearing their complaints - sounded pretty serious to me, but you're allowed to go through life as ignorant as you want to be, Lisa.......

“I would place the odds of African Americans defecting the president as about the same as the odds of an asteroid hitting the Earth and wiping out all human life. Another cute little Democrat trick with words. NO ONE IS SAYING OBAMA WON'T WIN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE BLACK VOTE, BUT HE DOESN”T NEED THE ‘VAST MAJORITY’ OF THE BLACK VOTE, HE NEEDS 95% OR MORE OF THE BLACK VOTE AND IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN HE WILL not GET THAT MUCH. So make believe all you want because the truth shall make us free of Obama. If he gets just 90% with just a 60% turnout instead of the 65% that turned out in 2008 he is finished.

Unless the GOP develops a minority outreach they won’t cross over to our side. Indians, Chinese and Asians in general should all be Republicans. They know socialism firsthand, yet the Dems capture these business owners right away. GOP outreach is non-existent.
The vast majority of blacks are conservatives and know the importance of marriage and family. We need to get Allen West and Herman Cain on the Tom Joyner Show and tell it like it is. Go head to head with these mindless Step-n-fetch-its on the Dem plantation.

The Elite Liberals are the worst racists in the world. Blacks are their pets. They see them as inferior and in need of mentoring and control. All’s good as long as they don’t move into the neighborhood.
