If you think a collage prank skit is tough on Ob, just wait if he becomes president.
Maybe not from American media, but the world is not as "fair" minded when dealing with minorities.

And here come the right-wingnuts complaining about how the whole country has become too "politically correct" and "can't take a joke" in 5....4....3....2....

What they don't seem to understand, which we thinking, liberals will keep to ourselves, is that they can't have it both ways. Because many if not all of these right-wingnuts who are going to complain that we're too PC, and need to lighten up, are the same fools who are ranting about Obama's pastor saying some truly offensive and racist things.

No the right-wingnuts don't understand just how hypocritical they are, nor do they understand that irony that you can't be critical of an African American making racist comments, then defend white people acting like racists.

Neither is a good thing, and I'm in no way defending Obama's pastor, who was clearly wrong. But let's see how many Republicans come out against what these North Dakota kids did. Anyone who doesn't is a hypocrite, which these days, is also the most salient way to describe a Republican.

So it is ok for Fred Armisen to dress up in black-face to play Obama every week on Saturday Night Night Live but no one else?

I think that....well I think that these children have lived good lives. But they are just victims of the times and you have to look at the totality of...of circumstances....to see that really they're good people and everyone upset over this joke is just a typical person whom has been bred for stupidity.

See what I did there Jason, I just defended these little bastards with NObama logic. That means what they did is okay in your eyes now and you should give a standing ovation.

What's the offense? Is it blackface or is it the simulated sex? These young people are reflecting the "anything goes attitude" that is prevalent in our american culture, seen on tv, in movies, in language, in manners ect. They probably don't grasp the offense committed or they don't care. The uniter has a lot of work to do.

"University President Joseph Chapman said the campus will work to ensure such incidents do not occur."

Hey pal, they do occur, and this one DID occur.

And why no fuss about the queer cowboys skit? Only about the obama skit?

There is a comic book store on the east side of Clark St. and just north of Belmont that sells T-shirts.

One of them depicts Cheney and Bush in a passionate embrace. It's pretty darn funny.

This wouldn't happen if we had more black comedians. That's a symptom of this countries racist past.

It doesn't matter that the majority of the population in America didn't even live through the 50's, they are RESPONSIBLE for all past acts.

Therefore, we need a new hiring plan to get more blacks into comedic positions. This plan would, of course, take into account their skin color as the sole consideration of employment.

We must also hire more black prison guards. This must be done until blacks make up at least 80% of the guard force. This will bring their number closer to the percentage of black inmates.

Sounds like dumb a** kids doing some dumb a** stuff to show everyone how vapid they are. Now, the media is all a twitter.

Anyone catch a look at what’s been going on at Berkley and San Francisco the last couple of weeks? Thought so.

Now that's open minded too!

OPEN LETTER TO FOX NEWS

HOW DARE YOU. How dare you Fox News get in the way of progress by spewing your divisive and hateful ways 24/7 and making sure that racism stays alive and well in this country. Here we have a very different type of candidate running for the presidency of the United States of America who is trying to get above politics as usual. Someone who truly DOES have the best interest of this country, and the world, at heart. We, the people, will not allow you to destroy our country by trying to pass off your bull crap racist ways as “fair and balanced.” How dare you feed us your divisive garbage. I find FOX [Tabloid] News and it’s commentators downright dumb and unprofessional. FOX News is insulting the intelligence of the American people. The majority of the Americans who DO want change have their eyes and ears connected to their brains, so your brainwashing techniques won’t work. We, the American people, will not allow FOX News to cheat us out of a better tomorrow for the United States of America and our respectability with the rest of the World. If you don’t like the way we feel, you can just choke on it! And remember, what goes around comes around.

Too bad the students didn't get a grant from the NEA.

Then it would be considered "art."

But they're not members of an anointed victims group.

Borrow and Spend is mistaken.

George Bush is a hard core liberal.

He's a staunch supporter of affirmative action.

A staunch supporter of open borders.

A rabid multiculturalist.

And he's spending billions trying to find a cure for the African import known as AIDS.

If he's a conservative, than what constitutes a liberal?

We "thinking Liberals."

Now there's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one.

Last I heard, it was not conservative Americans, but the dominant left-wingnut academic culture that imposed "speech codes" on campuses, and speech related "hate crimes," elsewhere.

But just look at Obama's lame rationales for his family pastor's anti-white hate laden diatribe and look at today's Tribune in its lame rationalization for the same.

Hey -- we just have to understand the "cultural and historical context" in which these kids grew up, right Obama? Right Tribune?

The Obama campaign has unleashed a race oriented fury in political discourse, from which the left-wingnuts might not emerge with the upper hand.

Some healing, post-racial candidate, this Obama!

Even the liberal mainstream media establishment is beginning to feel some buyer's remorse with regard to the South side Chicago charlatan.
