Obama Camp Rejects New Black Panther Party Endorsement After Removing Web Posting (got caught again)
fox news ^ | 3/20/2008 | fox news

Posted on 03/20/2008 8:27:43 AM PDT by tobyhill

Barack Obama’s campaign has rejected the support of the New Black Panther Party, after removing an endorsement by the group from its Web site Wednesday.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor issued a statement rejecting the Panther backing, and told FOXNews.com: “The page in question has been removed from our campaign Web site. It’s our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence.”

The blogosphere was buzzing Wednesday about whether his campaign planned to remove the Panther posting, just one day after the Illinois senator delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America.

The New Black Panthers, who inherited their name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, had the page on the Obama campaign’s public forums. The group’s message said it is backing Obama because he “represents ‘positive change’ for all of America. Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America.’”

The Panthers like him and so does “Calypso Louie”. That should be enough for any reasonable person to proclaim BHO unfit for public office, at any level, and in any position.

Period.

My word, I’m really being forthright today!

It doesn’t matter what is on his website, for, just like his church’s website, it will be scrubbed clean for the world to see while who-knows-what kind of deals and handshakes are going on under the radar.

It was more than likely posted on a public forum, meaning anyone, even you or I could post there. And we could post anything we want. This is a non-story. Sorry. I’m not defending the senator formerly known as Barry. What I’m trying to say is if we wanted to stir up controversy it would be relatively easy to do because we could take on an alias (much like we do here) and post whatever we wanted to.

I'm sure there's individuals in the NBPP that donated money to Obama and if they did will he return it?

What a pickle Bollix Obama has put himself into over the last week. Every move he now makes to distance himself from certain black elements turns him more white in their eyes.

LOL!

Extending Obama's "spiritual advisor's" belief that Jesus was Black and continuing his Church's foundational "Black Theology" doctrine of James Cone whereby God is manifested in the Black race..... I guess Obama is now BETRAYING GOD by trying to reject the appearance of any associations with the "Black Liberation" movement.

LOL!!!

Barry’s site has monitors.

Those monitors chose to leave the link up.

Any link to a racist/violence/seditious site posted on FR would be GONE in a matter of minutes.

As opposed to any group that advocates government-mandated wealth redistribution (taxation) at ungodly confiscatory levels.

It was posted directly on the “Obama for America” website which is controlled by Obama’s campaign and if it was that easy to pull it off by the campaign then it had to have gone through the campaign in the first place to be posted.

That was my question! Why was it there at all? The other question I have is will the New Black Panthers be replacing Berry’s Secret Service detail?

“It’s our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence.”

ahhh - then how did it get posted in the first place? If that was your policy, it wouldn't have made it through that criteria.

Anyone know how long it was on?

Good on FOX - they don't seem to be dropping this "O" stuff

We need to also FREEP them with the speech he made to the conclave of black ministers where he alludes, thinly veiled, the 'Quiet Riot" that is still simmering today just as the "Quiet Riot" was simmering before the Rodney King riots....

"Quiet Riot" = code word for???/

"Obama Warns Of 'Quiet Riot' Among Blacks"

http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/Obama.Blacks.Quiet.2.337535.html

This is vital to get out to the people. This points to plans for all out riots across this land once they get the power -
