According to Reuters, “the Web site, at http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/, offers detailed responses to several rumors that have continued to circulate online and in conservative news outlets despite efforts to knock them down, and encourages supporters to e-mail those responses to others.” The Web site claims that Mr. Obama’s wife, Michelle, who is also an African-American, has never used the racially divisive term “whitey” as some blogs and conservative commentators have alleged. The site also denies Barack Obama is a Muslim and dispels the myth that he refuses to make a Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, by posting a video of himself leading the Pledge.

written by ElHombre , June 12, 2008 It's not just conservative news outlets. The National Press Club is going to have as a speaker a man who has demonstratably lied about having sex with Obama. 'Liberal media', my arse.

written by michael a. , June 12, 2008 What's dogged Obama is the right wing mythology machine. Yesterday on Faux News, Michelle Malkin was talking trash about Michelle Obama while Fox ran the caption "Obama Baby Mama" under Obama's picture. Baby mama is a term used to describe your illegitimate child's mother. Pathetic.

written by michael a. , June 13, 2008 Proud American. I watched your video. You should be proud of the fact that you live in a country where you can say whatever you like. I hope you will allow me the same courtesy. You and your ilk have foisted on the American people the worst President this nation has ever seen. You have no credibility picking Presidents. Bush's policies are presently spreading out across this planet disrupting the economies of our allies and those much less able to cope with the downturn they have created. They used propaganda like the video you are trumpeting to convince the people of this country that Sadaam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. That's all they have, they can't discuss issues like health care or the environment cause that might require you be able to say something besides "Liberal bad, conservative good". Now you peddle some video that says Barack Hussein Obama over and over because they want to hook Obama onto that mythology. What did your parents name you? Is that your fault? We are not our names, we are our actions. 9/11 is sacred to me still and I think anybody that attempts to use those poor 3000 murdered people to gain something for themselves will have a front row seat in hell. Some people still believe that Sadaam caused 9/11, even though it is not true. It's much easier to yell at your radio all day rather than pick up a paper and read it. Your President has blood on his hands because of his propaganda that took us to war. What is at stake now is our good name, our way of life, our currency, our ability to help others, our environment, our children's future....all shot to hell so you can have some fundamentalist leader for eight years to beat up on the gays and the abortionists and the illegals while everything else goes to pot... wake up man. What is at stake is we can't afford any more stupidity running our nation. It should be obvious to you that names mean nothing when picking a President or yours would have been a little more like his father.

written by Jonathan Green , June 13, 2008 In America, we have continuously witness the white media attack African Americans over a history of events white America chooses not to live down. The history that separates African Americans and whites is not as much of an issue today with African Americans as it is with Whites. Why is that you ask? African Americans have resurrected themselves from the oppression of whites. Yes, there still some growing areas, however the progress is imminent. Lets look at the National Security Advisor, Dallas's District Attorney, Ron Kirk, John Wiley Price, Dr. Fredrick Haynes, Dr. Jerimiah Wright, and the countless of other African Americans that educated, and powerful in this country. Barack Obama is what has and will always be to whites a threat. Barack is a threat to that very core of white hatred that has blinded itself to successes of African Americans. Its white American that continues to make itself look terribly bad, with its racists attitudes.

written by Grrr , June 13, 2008 Amen, Mr. Green! Further, it's only white people that think there is no racism in this country.

written by jb , June 13, 2008 One could only wish that the Obama machine, abetted by his adoring MSM would extend the same fidelity to truth and lack of racism that they demand from others [though we all know that this ain't gonna happen]............The truth is that whites are overwhelmingly eager to have a black president in order to put the past behind us, BUT whites have a difficult time having a victimology construct rammed down their throats in 2008 when it is FAR more likely that a white person will be LEGALLY disadvantaged [versus the disadvatage of a minority individual arising from being born into a single parent family that eschews education who is forced to attend a school populated with students whose parents have made the same types of choices run by administrators who are liberals promting the victimology template] And, Jonathan and Michael, as one who fought racism in the 1960's and who now lives in a minority/majority area, I can only say that you need to get your own house in order before casting stones at others.
