In what must be the most despicable, unprofessional news article that I have ever read on Faux News... The front page of FoxNews.com shows an article titled "Obama Gets 'Panther' Ok". They point to a public profile set up by somebody claiming to be a member of the New Black Panther Party who supports Barack Obama.

Here's the problem- anybody can set up a profile and blog on the my.barackobama.com section of the website claiming support of Obama. There is no way to tell if this came from the 'black panther party', and even if it did, Obama's campaign has absolutely nothing to do with it, no control of it, and no knowledge of it when it is posted.

Guess what we'll be hearing about next from HRC - the Pink Panther endorsed Barack Obama!

I'm waiting for Bin Laden to release a video "endorsing" Obama. BL probably knows that it might convince enough simpletons to vote for McCain, who's obviously the candidate that BL would like to see win. And Fox News would show the video every day until the November election. Bin Laden would rather fight the US "over there" in Iraq so he doesn't have to "fight them here" where he actully is, in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Obama clearly thinks the fight should be taken to where Bin Laden lives, which naturally, Bin Laden might find less than an ideal situation. It should be obvious to anyone but deluded dimwits that Osama is no fan of Obama, even though their names rhyme.

I use to think of Fox News on the same level as The National Inquirer. Now it turns out that they are even less credible.

Granted Fox News published an accurate report that the New Black Panther Party endorsed Obama and put their endorsement on my.barackobama.com. But Obama violently disagrees with the NBPP, and my.barackobama.com took off their endorsement.

Neither Obama nor Clinton can stop endorsements from people or organizations with whom they violently disagree - they can only speak against the endorsements after they occur. This could happen many more times this campaign.

The USA-Nazi Party can endose McCain on its own and that doesn't make McCain an Anti-Semite.

Fox news is so desperate to bring Obama down that they now have taken it upon themselves to create controversy and propoganda. They tried the name and the smoking schtick and that fell flat on its face. Tried the whole racism bit and that fell flat too. What next?

I am so sick and tired of these race allegations against Sen. Obama, which are really, in effect, crafted by the shady HRC campaign to distract from her own shadiness (read: where are her tax returns for the past 8 years?"read: who was responsible for hacking into Sen Obama"s passport records for 3 months in a row?), etc.. I have said this before countless times and will say it once more¦

Sen. Obama is HALF WHITE!¦he was raised by a WHITE MOTHER and WHITE GRANDPARENTS¦he has NO motivation and/or justification whatsoever to be against white people¦HE IS HALF WHITE!!!

¦now please let"s not keep getting so easily distracted by the shady and hateful Clinton machine, and get back to focusing on the REAL issues that these candidates stand for, and why we should vote for them¦

Obama 2008-2016!

excuse me? didn't fox interview the head of the black panthers just the other day about this endorsement
and the guy co-operated the story... they did endorse, they did put their endorsement on the website
and said they understood obama's action to distance himself but that he (obama) did want their support
even if he wasn't publicly accepting of it....

so who you gonna believe? the panthers themselves? or obama who is a proven habitual liar?

What reason would the Black Panthers rep have to lie? For the publicity? It's another wink, wink like Obama's NAFTA conversation with Canadian officials. Al Sharpton is quietly endorsing Obama, and the Obama campaign is more than happy to have the Black Panthers' endorsement, but they don't want it in the NEWS for fear of what the implications would be.

Statistically speaking, Fox News lies more often that Barak Obama and the Black Panthers combined.

It's a fact.

This is the same guy that asked Sean about his relationship with Hal Turner. Google hal Turner and view his You Tube. I believe that Sean has a lot of explaining to do.

Check Rupert Murdoch in Wikipedia. Excerpts follow:

"September 4, 1985 Became a naturalized citizen, to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens could own American television stations." (Hey, a flag of convenience kind of? Steam ships do this all the time.)

"Rupert Murdoch, 1998 (Protestant)
Knighthood awarded by the Roman Catholic Church. Established by Pope Gregory XV in 1831 as the "Order of the Knights of St. Gregory the Great", it is the highest honor a layman can obtain from the Church."

"The Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great was established on September 1, 1831 by Pope Gregory XVI, seven months after his election"

"The Order has four classes in civil and military divisions:
* Knight Grand Cross of the First Class
* Knight Grand Cross of the Second Class
* Commander
* Knight
The Order of St. Gregory is one of the five pontifical orders of knighthood in the Catholic Church. The order is bestowed on Catholic men and women (and in rare cases, non-Catholic men[1]) in recognition of their service to the Church, unusual labors, support of the Holy See, and the good example set in their communities and country."

Come on, what next? Will Obama have to repudiate the NAACP, PUSH and the Urban League? Anyway, in this country of "one man, one vote" I bet all of the candidates will accept votes from the Panthers. What a paradox that in the home of the brave that we buy into FEAR so easily. Anybody who uses fear has contempt for us and a very low regard for our intelligence. Well, as i write, I guess they have reason to question our intelligence. Domestic and foreign opportunists must be laughing at us. Boo - 9/11- angry blacks- illegal aliens on and on.

qdog112, in this country of "one man, one vote" Barack Obama doesn't want Florida's primary votes to count, even though all candidates' names were on the ballot; nor does he want Michigan to have a do-over primary; Obama withdrew his own name and Clinton ran against him and all the other candidates under the category of "uncommitted". Obama is NOT in favor of a democracy making the choices in an election nor in favor of the Democratic Party running primaries. He prefers "little elections" with every conceivable party able to cross over and vote for whomever. There is a real fear that Obama lacks a real democratic commitment for government. He seems to prefer his "movement" be above the fray. That is dangerous.

The Republican lifestyle network still claims to be news oriented? I thought they'd given up that schtick long ago. I think this is more proof that journalism is not in their repertoire.
