What can we do to counter these impending Willie Horton attacks?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You know that when Obama wins NC, Hillary will try to pull the same crap they pulled in S.C., and the MSM will play along with her.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:12:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Pennsylvania - She Won..oh well, onto Indiana and North Carolina</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/pennsylvania_she_wonoh_well_onto_indiana_and_north_carolina/#comment-1961574</link><description>"1. Obama should have been better prepared for Wright and Ayers stories. This stuff was old news to anyone who follows politics;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. He's done a poor job at exploiting Hillary's weaknesses to gain political points (they haven't followed Hillary's controversies: "screw 'em"; her comments about MoveOn; Rendell praising Farakhan; Mark Penn and Columbian Free Trade, etc.); and&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. His surrogate game is weak. He reacts but rarely gets out in front of a story. Hillary should be reacting to him, not the other way around. He's the frontrunner, not her."&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;B-Serious, I'm ITA with ya! For the life of me, I can't understand why the BHO camp waited until the DAY BEFORE the primary to send out flyers on trade? That's a hot button issue in PA and should've been pounded into the PA psyche the moment the WSJ published the article about Mark Penn. The same thing with Clinton's "Screw 'em!" comments and &lt;a href="http://MoveOn.org" rel="nofollow"&gt;MoveOn.org&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I understand Obama not wanting to appear to be picking on the girl, but that doesn't mean he should allow her to get away with things that have facts and proof to back them up!&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:01:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Michelle And Barack</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/michelle_and_barack/#comment-1961773</link><description>Ms. Martin -&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agree with you whole heartedly!&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anonymous 08:31:00 AM 2008--&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think your idea about contacting local stations about these ads is brillant!&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:13:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: James Clyburn Speaks Plain Truths About the Clintons and the Black Community</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/james_clyburn_speaks_plain_truths_about_the_clintons_and_the_black_community/#comment-1961845</link><description>Thank God someone spoke up about Clinton's PMSing! &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OT: What do think about Rev. Wright agreeing to be interviewed? I think it's a bad idea and I'm kinda pissed off with Wright. He knows the media will have a field day splicing and dicing his comments. And given that the media is on their "Is Race A Factor" kick, this interview comes at a bad time.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:49:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Even Obama Snowed By McCain &amp;quot;Cred&amp;quot;</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/even_obama_snowed_by_mccain_quotcredquot/#comment-1961874</link><description>I don't think Obama believes McCain one bit. Deep down, he knows McCain is behind this just like he knew Hillary was behind the cocaine and Mudrassa attacks despite her denials. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The thing is that unless he has evidence that show McCain is behind this, he can't accuse him. It's a Black man's word against a white male "war hero's" word. Who do you think the public will believe.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I can just imagine the media reaction if Obama said he believe McCain's denials are bogus: "How dare he not believe a former P.O.W.!" "If it weren't for McCain's sacrifices, Obama wouldn't be where he is today". &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is where is surrogates come in. They can come forward and plant doubt in the minds of the voters by saying something like, "Well, it says alot that the presumptive GOP nominee can't persuade his fellow party members. If he doesn't have influence over fellow party members, how can he cross part lines to get things done in Washington?"&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;or.....&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Well, McCain &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; seek the nomination of Hagee and he &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; make that commencment speech at Liberty, so.....".&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;or....&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"First, he has Bill Cunningham introduce at a rally. Then his campaign sends a email trying to tie Obama to Hamas, and now this? I sense a PATTERN".&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:04:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: James Clyburn Speaks Plain Truths About the Clintons and the Black Community</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/james_clyburn_speaks_plain_truths_about_the_clintons_and_the_black_community/#comment-1961854</link><description>Kitty: I hear you. But it's not Bill Moyers I don't trust. The PBS political pundits are covering this race the way it should be covered. What I don't trust is what the MSM will do with this interview. In fact, they've already started with the excerpts that were released, saying that Wright was subliminally saying Obama really shares his beliefs but is only saying what he has to say because he's a politician. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;B-Serious: I agree. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Roland Martin got into hot water with a caller on Al Sharpton's show because Martin said that Rev.

Part of me supports him defending himself.  Give the MSM a big "Kiss my ass! I'm gonna speak truth to power whether you like it or not!". But the other part of me knows that his words, no matter how innocent and truthful they are, will be twisted and mangled by the MSM for their own agenda. In fact, it has already happened with Chris Matthews, Mica Byrinszky, Andrea Martin and Fox News  saying that he was making fun of former presidents or causing more division between blacks and whites, or (my favorite) insulting black children when he talks about how they learn differently. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like it was pointed out upthread, we really need to learn how to be more savvy when it comes to fighting the Right Wing Media Monster.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:22:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/reverend_dr_jeremiah_wright_at_the_national_press_club/#comment-1962364</link><description>Congratulations goes out to the MSM!

BEGGED! But he didn't listen and look what happened.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I feel so bad for Obama because he looked so disappointed and sad that he had to go there today. I also feel bad for Rev. Wright because I think he was speaking the truth in a lot of things he said, and Americans can't handle the TRUTH about this country.&lt;/br&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sepia</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:22:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club</title><link>http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/reverend_dr_jeremiah_wright_at_the_national_press_club/#comment-1962387</link><description>B-serious said: "Still, Wright is not a complete victim here.

Please note that all of the negative attention Wright is receiving is not because of the Moyers interview, the NAACP speech or even the NPC speech.

He realized that, thus his opposition to McClinton. He has the smarts to understand that continuing to do something that gives you the same negative result doesn't make sense. Too bad "experience" hasn't taught McClinton that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW, what's up with her always "Me too-ing!"

Sure, BO could've campaigned so as not to appear to poo-poo the state, but look at the REASON why WV aren't voting for him: RACE -- an issue which Hillary has been pushing all along!

Donald Payne was on The Joe Madison Show this morning saying that he decided to support Hillary before he knew Obama was considering a run for the presidency. When he saw that Obama was a strong candidate, he decided to stay neutral.&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I call bs. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Everybody knew Obama was going to run since his speech at the DNC in '04. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. It's not only about CBC supporting Hillary but it's also about them remaining SILENT when Hillary and Bill started race baiting. Payne thinks that his being neutral will give him a pass, but it doesn't. You weren't neutral, Mr. Payne.

You entire comment was(purposely)not shown, and even then it would be left up to individual interpretation, but still one cannot say that she isn't patriotic. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is NOT A FACT that there's a videotape showing Michelle saying "whitey". The rumor of the tape was a lie put out to damage her reputation. &lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, who's character is really being assassinated?&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But honestly, neither of you are interested in preventing anyone's character assassination, manslaughter, homicide....etc. You're interested in protecting your candidate and his associates.
