Does anyone seriously think that a man of Kenyan origin with a name like Barrack Obama is EVER going to be president of the USA ? What is all this fuss about ?

Obama is there to give cover to Hilary Clinton and deflect some of the flack, that ALL !

Is it Ron Paul who is racist or is it math, statistics and reality that is racist?

ans,

Thank for the link. According the the article and looking at Paul’s own word clearly identifies his bigotry and racism. Below are quotes of Paul

Regardless of what the media tell us, most white Americans are not going to believe that they are at fault for what blacks have done to cities across America. The professional blacks may have cowed the elites, but good sense survives at the grass roots. Many more are going to have difficultly avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists — and they can be identified by the color of their skin. This conclusion may not be entirely fair, but it is, for many, entirely unavoidable.

Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action…. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the “criminal justice system,” I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.

Perhaps the L.A. experience should not be surprising. The riots, burning, looting, and murders are only a continuation of 30 years of racial politics.The looting in L.A. was the welfare state without the voting booth. The elite have sent one message to black America for 30 years: you are entitled to something for nothing. That’s what blacks got on the streets of L.A. for three days in April. Only they didn’t ask their Congressmen to arrange the transfer.

btw, someone needs to inform Glen Ford before he sallies forth to another round of uninformed bombast that most Indians have "come to terms with the founder of Pakistan and his country". The outdated propaganda script that he's reading off ("Pakistan was the British and American answer to ascendant Indian socialism") and his wild pronouncements ("Osama bin Ladin, it is universally agreed, lives in Waziristan, in western Pakistan") only detract from his standing as a genuine voice of progressive black opinion.

Ron Paul a racist? Quite a statement. I’m sure Ron Paul, who has delivered more than 4,000 babies, has delivered one or two black and brown ones. And because someone differs on economics, that hardly makes him a racist. You sound like a bigot, sir.

The assumption in this article I would call into question pertains to Osama bin Laden. Osama Bin Laden has most likely been dead for four years now. His spectre is now invoked for propaganda purposes by both factions of the business party in the US.

Except that Ron Paul is a racist and believes there is a free-market solution to everything. He doesn’t believe that systematic and institutionalized racism or patriarchy even exist, either. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/15/124912/740)

Glen Ford’s right about Obama. The guy is a sell-out.

Glen Ford remains stuck on the fable of "socialist India" of the 50's (which under Nehru's image friendly administration was expert in giving lip service to "Gandhian values" that so dazzled the pilgrimage making MLK and other black leaders of the era). Obama is speaking as a mouthpiece of the funding friendly, politically powerful, and historically Democratic voting Indian immigrant lobby (whose most vocal part is so fascistic and anti-Muslim that a noted leader from back home cannot even get a visa to most Western countries) and which has over the last few years become "strange bedfellows" with forces pushing for a "Clash of Civilizations" against Muslims.

This ain’t rocket science, hell, it ain’t even high school level.
All bullshit and peripheral maneuvering aside, the only contender for POTUS who has not and will not rush to Israel to fall on their knees and claim eternal allegiance to “our special friend” is Dr. Ron Paul, who, by the way, really is a doctor.
Isn’t that special.
JFK, RFK, JFK jr., Paul Wellstone, Mel Carnahan, Ron Paul?
But hell, Carnahan easily defeated the cretin Ashcroft even while dead.
