    I empathize with you. I'm only 5 minutes in and this video raises some very distinct and valid points. Granted, it's slanted in a way that almost mystifies such points. However, I'd like to see some of your "opponents" in this thread address the actual points, reasonably.

    I addressed the points raised in the first 3+ minutes...

    what sort of "actual points" are you referring to...?

    I would like to know this as well.

    I have no problem debating differences someone may have with Obama, but I'm not going to watch a 13 minute video which has an agenda set for itself.

    Ok, I watched this video to the end. And yes. I certainly cringed, and became frightened of my fellow Americans. Frightened that they could actually fall for this bullshit.

    That video is so dumb. First of all, it does not look at anything that has to do with where Obama stands on any issues. Everything it says against Obama is out of context, not analyzed properly, or completely irrelevant to Obama as a politician, or presidential candidate. It is filled with half truths and irrelevant and slanderous information.

    Why don't you read about where Obama stands on issues to decide whether or not you'd vote for him, and not whether or he wears a pin, or puts his hand over his heart. Who cares if he has 3 Muslim names? How is that relevant at all? The video says that Americans might not be ready to elect someone with 3 Muslim names, one of them Hussein. Well, all that says, is Americans are intolerant and not focusing on real issues.

    He also has a picture of Abraham Lincoln in his office. Should I assume he's a Republican in disguise?

    On Reports of an Inappropriate Flag in a Texas Obama Office
    February 12, 2008

    "This is a volunteer office that is not in any way controlled by the Obama campaign. We were disappointed to see this picture because it is both offensive to many Cuban-Americans -- and Americans of all backgrounds -- and because it does not reflect Senator Obama’s views. Barack Obama has been very clear in putting forward a Cuba policy that is based on one principle: freedom for the Cuban people." -- Obama Campaign

    From Houston Fox News:

    "The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."

    Pj Gurl...how long did it take you to find that? 90 seconds I'll assume? Yet, acoustic guy (and a lot of people on here) will believe anything that the almighty youtube or this shitty website claims.

    considering most of the interviewers/video clips are from fox news, it should be taken with a grain of salt. or a whole barrel full of salt actually.

    Excuse me, but its irrelevant that his name is Barack Hussein Obama.
    Its irrelevant that he doesn't wear a pin.
    Its irrelevant that he didn't put his hand on his heart. I
    ts irrelevant that his wife said she wasn't proud of America for two reasons. First, we're voting for him, not her. Second, look at the context, and look at her whole statement. She was saying that she felt hopeful, and its fair for her to say that in her adult life she didn't feel hope in America. A lot of bad shit has happened. Don't take it too literally.
    Its irrelevant what his pastor said for several reasons. First, he is not his pastor. Second, what ever happened to a separation between church and state? I don't care what his pastor said as long as Obama stands for issues relevant to presidency (i.e. not religion), as President that I agree with. Also, you need to look at his pastor's words in context, and again, not take them to literally. The guy is just saying, that blacks in America have gotten a bum rap (which is pretty much true) and that America needs to be called out on it.
    The connection between Obama and terrorists is just plain ludicrous.
    So there's a Che Guevara flag in one campaign office, and? Did he put it up? Did you find out why it was up there? Maybe he agrees with some principles that Che had, like change, but not all. Find out first
    I loved how they had a black kid with a Swastika on the screen for thirty seconds. I wonder what they were insinuating with that... You know, cause it was so relevant...

    So please tell me what was relevant and what about it was so bad about Obama that you learned from this video.

    My point exactly. If you can not watch the whole thing and understand what I am talking about then again its just sad.


    You don't have a point, and there's nothing in this thread that even remotely comes close to being something you have said that we should, for some reason, respond to. This is just another one of these useless threads that pops up on message boards where someone links to a video/website, thinks they are being clever, and then gets all up in arms when people call them out on it.

    Enlighten us. What are you "talking about" that all of us should wise up to? What brilliant insight am I missing in a link to a video clip that is full of B.S. deceit and half truths?
