If there was ever one! <br />After all the news networks are excited to cover the first African American to lead a national party to the White House.</p> <p>3 out of 10 Americans believe that race plays a decision in the way they vote! That's 30% of the American public. About a good 35 million or so! I would think this includes those critics who are leaving the "nice" comments at the bottom.</p> <p>The polls say that Senator Barack Obama is leading Senator John McCain by at least an average of six points. All things can change in the coming months.</p> <p>There are going to be dissatisfied people. I am aware of that! You probably didn't want Senator Barack Obama. Well for those who are critical of the candidate I got some words for you straight from YouTube:</p> <p>Get a life! You Obama hating idiots must have forgotten the millions of voters who supported Senator Barack Obama are not just Black people. There were people who were dissatisfied with Senator Hillary Clinton. There are Republicans dissatisfied with President George W. Bush. Senator Barack Obama has more appeal towards Independents. There are many people upset over the way the media has covered the candidates [Fox News, CNN, ABC, MSNBC and the like]. </p> <p>Ok, you Obama hating idiots! If I didn't throw my support to Senator Barack Obama, then you flip the corner and attack me for supporting Senator John McCain or any other candidate. You can't win for nothing! And by the way, I like Senator John McCain, but I am not supporting his stance on the economy.</p> <p>Ok, you Obama hating idiots! I am going to ask you why the hell, Mitt Romney, Senator Hillary Clinton, Fred Thompson, John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani failed to secure the nomination?</p> <p>American people come from all walks of life. They get their news from the internet, the cable news networks, and newspapers. They give you the word of mouth. So somewhere in America there's always a candidate hater! I welcome you here to my YouTube page!</p> <p>If you don't like Senator Barack Obama, vote against him! It's not that hard! You want to sit it out, and then you're lost! As for me, I will encourage my friends to vote for him, you got a problem with that? Tough!</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43171-how-the-media-creates-obama-hating-voters-i-mean-idiots">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41845-ayaan-hirsi-ali-on-tolerance-for-islamic-radicalism 2008-07-09T11:08:18Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EOzW-aHo-6E&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EOzW-aHo-6E&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41845-ayaan-hirsi-ali-on-tolerance-for-islamic-radicalism"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47181" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/2008/05/02/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali_on_the_Viability_of_Hope">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>Author and former Dutch Parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali argues that political tolerance of radical Islam threatens the security of liberal, secular values in the Netherlands and other European countries. </p> <p>-----</p> <p>Seeking a New Global Order: The Viability of Hope featuring Ayaan Hirsi Ali in conversation with David A.

It has abandoned pride in the nation, discarded traditional Christianity, and, in so doing, is without unifying values, ideals, and beliefs.</p> <p>But if Europe is still democratic, and if it still embraces the free market, why should anyone care that Judaeo-Christian religious beliefs are slipping away.
