Most campaign positions are unpaid, volunteer positions. How is Barack Obama supposed to control who volunteers to work on his campaigns?

No, i don't find it disturbing at all. Moreover, i don't know what the hell you're talking about on the issue of consistently except that you right wingers and uncle tom types are "consistently" bringing up racial matters on every thread you can invent....all while accusing liberals of fixating on race.

Again, you're ducking the question. Why are you right wing types always making race threads while accusing "minorities" of whining about race?

Why do you hate black people and accuse them of just being stumps on a log when it comes to their political future?

Regarding the red - It's kind of forced down our throats right now by media and political liberals. If it's not dealt with, then the narrative is allowed to stand. If it is dealt with, then people on the right are racists. It's a no win situation because the truth is not the goal - only fanning the flames of racism for elections and political advantages.

And here we go w/ the counterproductive name calling.

I'm using that picture to try to help illustrate the truth of who Obama is so other black people hopefully won't be fooled. He doesn't care about black people beyond the elections - he never has.

You got a white lefty liberal on CNN saying "F****** N*****" live on TV for goodness sakes. Where's Al and Jesse? Is CNN losing sponsors? Why? Because it's really not about black people to liberals - we are just tools to get to the end goal which is winning the next election.

Ultimately, I want black people to make money, and succeed, and have a good life where we don't kill ourselves in the process. To get there, we have to deal with the truth about what's going on.

You can doubt my blackness and call names all you want - but the truth is what it is and Obama doesn't care about black people despite what he says. Except - when he needs blacks to fan the flames of racism in order to silence or guilt white working conservatives - then we are useful. Think about it - no focus on jobs, no economic incentives, black businesses ignored - but when Trayvon is killed, now he looks like you - now he needs you.

Look at who starts all the race threads. It's pretty obvious who is fixated on race.
I posted the link to Obama's site on post #7 about them showing off their new building.

Otherwise, more name calling - no substance.

I love this from their site:

"The other guys have corporate lobbyists and special interests on their side; we've got you. Donate Now."

Oh come off it. This isn't evidence of enlightenment on racial issues, this is partisanship. Obama got a pass for drone attacks and Gitmo while Bush was a "war criminal" too. Obama promises to halve the deficit and triples it instead and liberals who screamed about Bush's deficits don't say a word. Obviously no liberal is going to call Obama a racist. That's just stupid to point to it as evidence of moving past racial issues. Liberals are just as much race baiters as ever. They just don't bait other liberals.

What's it gonna be? If some black person did make a public complaint, then there would be 10 threads by the usual anti-black rabble rouser's saying that blacks are always complaining.
Probably so. So what? Again, it's the Obama campaign. He's the first black President, he massively expanded entitlements, and he has like 95% support in the black community. And you want to point out there's no black people calling him racist? Get real.

Or there are the "Dems focus too much on race" threads....but take a look at all of the race threads on this forum. Damn near all started by conservatives. Hell, the same race baiters couldn't wait to make a thread about CHICKEN of all things!

So tell me again...who focuses on race all the time in reality?
Liberals. They are the ones consistently out there in society making race an issue. The tons of race threads on this forum from conservatives are being started in response to the Martin case, which is being enflamed by liberal race baiters. So, again, you're twisting things. These threads aren't conservatives obsessed with race. They're conservatives pointing out liberal hypocrisy on the Martin case, which just happens to be about race. A few weeks back there were tons of threads about religion and contraception and then liberals were all about the conservatives and their "war on women." In another month it'll probably be about something else. It's whatever dominates the news cycle.

You sure that's not just a bunch of people waiting on Springsteen tickets, or free mayonaise?
