Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
WHAT??????????????? Oh, for heaven's sake. I never heard about that one before, Rinslinger. It's downright amazing the stuff that these political disinformationists come up with. And think how well they are paid for it!

It's the "National Enquirer" approach to public affairs, and people go for it, because nothing spreads faster than malicious gossip.

I've seen Ron Paul's reaction to it on CNN, and I was well impressed with what he said in response to it. I know one thing for sure, the rest of the Republican Party would absolutely looooove it if people forgot all about Ron Paul's platform on Iraq and foreign affairs and the Constitution, and instead obsessed from now on about whether he's a racist or not.

That would be most convenient from their point of view, and that's why it's happening. The people who sprang this story did not do it in order to help end racism in America. If racism ever ended, they'd be deprived of one of the key guns in their arsenal.
