AMERICAblog: Cox reports "Noose allegedly found at Secret Service Training Center" and the Secret Service already has serious problems with racism

    This is very bad. I hope the ones protecting Obama have been vetted carefully.
  • AngelaChanning · 1 year ago
    Mike_H, that is first thing that I thought...especially when we had observations that security was allegedly more lax at Obama rallies. So for all those Fox news pundits that dismiss Reverend Wright's discussions of what the government has been doing to African Americans, well he is not pulling this stuff out of his butt.

    This is so appalling.

    Racism goes along with fascist depression. We need to be extremely vigilant these days. Demographic-based economic assessmentsof the social dimension of the depression tell us the situation could get much worse: http://www.hsdent.com/

    Could this be part of the explanation for the apparent lack of secret service coverage Obama received while campaigning in, I believe, Maryland? Many people attending rallies commented on the lack of checking of bags and the ease with which they entered the place of the rally, especially just before the rally was to begin. Just asking.

    Didn't know the Secret Service was full of Rednecks, but it figures.

    Probably some End-Time loonies hoping to get their hands on the nuclear codes.

    All these years we have been told that America is not ready for a black President when in reality it is the Democratic party that is not ready for a black President we already know that the Republicans would never have a black nominee.

    If this race was between Edwards and Clinton would Democrats have sat back while Hillary attacked Edwards?
    I am very sad to see that I have voted consistently for racist Democrats that only use the black community when the race is close.

    If only it was the Republican half of the nation that were racist then we could have a little hope...but many in the Democratic Party are racist and willfully ignorant also...this country is basically done.

    The American public continue to be fed lots of BS. Just go down south or in rural America and see how much racism there is. People that live in cities do not see it as much.

    In this coming election, Americans are going to find out how wide spread racism is in America. It won't mean anything to us since we are in denail, but, the world is going to find out. Just watch the Clintons and the republicans.

    I wonder how our troops would feel fighting a war on terror for a racist nation? How can racist spread democracy and unite warring clans? If we let the racist win, the world community [and God] may condemn America. The little respect we have left will be all gone. Our only friend will be Israel.

    The Secret Service sounds so Soviet Union. I wish the Secret Service protected the votes for president, like they do that worthless president in office now.

    Obama: "Some of the comments that Rev. Wright has made offend me, and I understand why they offend the American people. He does not speak for me. He does not speak for the campaign."

    Very disappointed in Mr. Olbermann tonight and the lily-white mischaracterizations foist by Wolfe and Fineman...Cheapest and the most glaring example of corrupt media projection was the suggestion that Rev. Wright is jealous of a former State Senator for gaining more attention.
    The Wright Q&A at the press club was another media disgrace regardless if they, in the depths of their corruption, fail to recognize it.
    Mrs. Greenspan, for one elite pro-establishment apologist, dripped pouty sarcasm during her afternoon slot as did what Frank Rich called CNN's "hapless political team".
    The media's bubble might not have the perks of Bush's little bit of surface tension delusion but it appears to be as divorced from any realistic appraisal of reality as the got'cha of the diversions that created these last 9+ years of fascism and failure.
    The godless press fails to realize that many of the rural white populations of the south and Midwest are intimately knowledgeable of Scripture and can understand Wright on a level hindered by the biblically ignorant corporate food chain.

    Hang in there. The talking heads have nothing else to talk about. They know the economy is imploding and they're scared. Wright's a good distraction for everybody...and silly Hannah Montana too!

    Did the GOP give America a lobotomy when I wasn't looking? ;-)

    You got to wonder about those agents protecting the candidates. And worry.

    COX reports?

    COX?

    Ummm, this is way too easy...
  • mike31c · 1 year ago
    Disgusting and unfortunately, does not surprise me. We have that idiot monkey king bush in charge and this slacker moron has destroyed EVERYTHING he has ever touched or been associated with. Of course the Secret Service has been degraded and disgraced themselves! Look at who they are "protecting" and the image that king wanna-be loser is projecting to those around him.

    I thought you had to go through several, intense psychological screenings before you were accepted in the FBI. Hell, even in the local sheriff's department, full of non-educated rednecks, you have to go through at least one such screening. And, do they just take one, and that's it for the next 30 years?

    Or, is it like the military -- no one wants to join anymore, so they accept criminals, dimwits, racists, etc.?
  • cosanostradamus · 1 year ago

    What is with you people? Of COURSE they do psychological screenings of Secret Service agents! It's just never been necessary to screen for racism before. I mean, really, in all fairness, a BLACK President???!!! It just could not have been foreseen. And, if Billary and their very good friends in our right-wing media have their way, it'll never happen. So, there's nothing to worry about. Jeez, people, why do you think they call it the WHITE House? The paint? Bwahaha!

    This bothers me because while the SS is a highly professionalized service, it is administered by the political appointment at Treasury. When Rubin was SecTreas he increased their standards to surpass Israeli which were considered the best in the world, knowing that it would need to be that to keep Clinton safe from redneck assassins, who still were able to crash a plane into the White House. It may be unthinkable that a Bush appointee could affect the physical safety of a RFK-type candidate, but so much else that has occurred under this criminal regime was unthinkable once, too.
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    Disturbing indeed. I'm glad that this issue is getting attention. It is time for ALL Americans to admit that racism is still alive and well in 2008.
