Biggest fools of all are those who voted TWICE for the idiot Bush.

Pathetic that most of the hatred for Obama in this forum comes from people showing a TX location. What the hell is wrong down there?

That video reminds me of the stock footage we've seen for 8 years, the ones from Al Queda training camps of goons swinging from monkey bars and jumping up out of holes in the ground and of Bin Laden holding his assault weapon. Goons. One and all.
Ooh please, even the DNC recently backed down from their pathetic arguments about "racism" after they looked into the fact that it was the left wing pushing the "racism" adjenda.

The fact that you grew up with racism means nothing to me. Its 60 years later, whats your point? Thats like saying we have slavery in america because you lived 150 years ago and seen it.

Most of the examples you listed, "Tx seceeding" is a movement that started around 2000, and gained traction with the Tx Nationalist being formed in 2007.

Dont want to listen to facts though do you? Its so much easier to just repeat a lie told to you by someone else and since you can stand up and shout "racism", you expect people to just cave into your argument. Say it all you want but your wrong, unless you want to proclaim Bush was black when the movement began.

You are the second person, but the first moderator, to cast aspersions based on the fact that I live in Texas. If you had a clue you would know that El Paso is closer to New Mexico and Mexico than it is to the rest of Texas. El Paso is ruled by Democrats. Perhaps you should do some research before you paint an entire state and its inhabitants with such a broad brush mister moderator.

Are you sure it's not just that you want it to be about racism? Paramilitary groups have been forming, growing, disbanding, coming and going for years. Some are racist, some aren't. Some believe the commies are coming, while others think they're preparing for the much awaited chaos of the 2012. Others simply expect total socio-economic collapse. One thing they all have in common is that all believe(d) the current POTUS, no matter what color or religion he happened to be was destroying the country.

So when Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and the Bushes (All surprisingly white men) were in office, were all the paramilitary groups made up of blacks?

You (and the media) try to make it sound like these groups suddenly sprang into existence when Obama took office and that simply isn't true. There have always been people who believed the end of society or a civil uprising is just around the corner.

What does the video being on YouTube have to do with anything?

As if flagging/removing it from YouTube will have any affect, good or bad, on the underlying sentiments being expressed therein.

Its just another left wing posting about how they think shutting up those who disagree with them will resolve all problems..

So much for bi-partisan support from those on the left.

I cant watch the video as I am at work, but shall watch it when i get home. please watch out for the "KKK" words, as the KKK was founding by democrats after the civil war.

It's sad that people like you can't disassociate yourself from the past. Just because you were raised "in the 1950's" doesn't mean that what you see in that video is equivalent to the racism of the past. Talk about stretching to make a point. I'd be willing to bet that even the African-American's that experienced racism would have trouble linking the sentiments of these folks to the racism they experienced. Give it up already. Beyond ridiculous, and I think you know that. You just can't get over your hatred of George W. Bush, and its completely clouding any ounce of rationale you may have.

As threats against Obama increase, security will be tight for Florida visit
