Plenty of proof. An ex-GOP dirty tricks operative was recently released from prison and tells how it is done. Refer to Allen Raymond and his book: "How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative."

Yabits, I would like to see the proof of this myself. Since I am a Black American and have voted in elections since 1984, I have see more dirty tricks on White Democrats than White Republicans. Case in point, when a Black man was running for Governor of Maryland under the Republican ticket, the white Dems in the state went so far as to pull up his credit record and make it public as well as a host of other ads in the Black communites in Maryland stating to the effect that he was a sell-out and even going so far as showing him in a poster with an "uncle tom blackface."

The Dems have marginalized the Black voters since they have joined the Dem ranks after Johnson started his great society programs. Now with the influx of Hispanic voters in America, they have started to shift their focus.

The bottome line to all of this is that yes there are still racial tensions in America, on both sides (Black/White and Rep/Dem). Both sides are capable of doing dirty tricks to get elected. I don't think Obama (or McCain) will be able to solve our racial problems on Nov 5.

Then I assume you'll go and get the book I referred to.

If you're talking about Michael Steele, I recall him running a few years back, and the incident to which you refer. It was done by two young campaign workers on their own authority, who were immediately fired when Democratic officials discovered what they had done. (Now, if you can find a book written by an ex-Democrat operative who admits to party support for dirty tricks, by all means, let us know.)

You say Steele "ran as a Republican." You would have had a hard time telling that from Steele's ads. He omitted his party affiliation and made sure his name was always bordered with plenty of blue and not a trace of red. He really didn't fool anyone but himself.

Their plan was to shoot at him while driving really fast.

To quote Lois Griffin from 'Family Guy,' "meth is a hell-of-a-drug."

Oh man, the media will have heyday with this. And of course, any Obama-critical news (remember the recent recordings of him declaring that the constitution is "flawed") is blown out of the news.

Did the clowns ever have a realistic chance of doing anything, other than bragging? It seems to me that an unbiased press would put this non-story on page 4 somewhere.

An unbiased press, of course, is something we don´t have.

The two men were arrested Oct. 22

If the authorities actually had this information, it should have been released at the time of the arrest not five days after the fact.

Something's not right about this "story". Oh ... wait. It's coming from a "news" organization that stopped being objective during this election cycle a long, long time ago.

Nevermind.

"In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree..."

The press did not get the information until it was unsealed and then they reported it like they should have.

So the real issue here is Obama says the constitution is flawed? You mean the same constitution that once contained laws that allowed one man to own another, yet in the same breath say all men are equal? Say it aint so. Can one seriously say that the constitution is perfect? If that's the case, why are new laws added every year? Why do laws differ from state to state? If the constitution were perfect as you claim (as implied by your outrage at Obama's statement) wouldn't we have the same laws everywhere?

Looks like these guys had no plans to assassinate obama afterall, Per the ATF:

"A senior Barack Obama aide tells ABC News that Obama's Secret Service detail had not been briefed on the alleged plot to assassinate the Democratic nominee, an indication that the plot had not reached the point of posing a serious threat to Obama.

"They were given no heads up," the Obama aide tells ABC News.

ABC News' Jack Date reports the ATF have arrested two neo-Nazis for an alleged plot to Obama.

The plotters were also planning to kill 88 individuals by gunfire and 14 African Americans by decapitation a federal law enforcement sources tells ABC News.

Obama has had Secret Service agents surrounding him since May 3, the earliest a candidate has ever been provided protection.

An Obama aide tells ABC News that Secret Service headquarters "would be notified of anything that mentioned" Obama. But adds that "it never rose to any sort of serious level," which explains why Obama's personal detail was not notified."

So, it appears the obama dog walkers at AP got it wrong, again.

You mean Obama right???? Look at all the bad associations he has had over the course of his life. Radical thinkers that just create chaos and hatred. He's more the racist than he thinks.

Thsi is just another one of Obama's stategies to gain sympathy, sad!!!!

His distasteful comments on our constitution is offensive. The same constitution that allowed the civil rights movement to prevail. Slavery at the time was all over the world not just in the US; whatever some of you might think. This constitutional document is the reason this country is great. I'm a so called minority and am very proud of what our founding fathers set forth many years ago that has allowed for change to happen. A flexible document that stands the test of time. They foresaw the needs of the future. You tell me what country out there has a better one. There is none. Capitalism works and not Socialism. To think of Socialism while there are countries out there that are still wanting to become the big dog is stupid. Not to mention that the very foundation of our constitution does not support it.

**"One of the tragedies of the civil rights movement, was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways, we still stuffer from that." **

Change is coming, folks. I hope the swooing crowd are ready for they voted for.

Yes willi, Obama is going to redistribute the wealth, nationalize the pick-up truck industry to give a renaissance to the Trabant, increase evils such as public transport and if that wasn't enough...

...the day of dhimmitude is imminent.

RomeoRamenII,

So you're saying that these two patriots had no plan to kill 88 blacks, behead 14, and then--while wearing lily-white top-hats and tails--to assassinate Obama if possible?

Or are you just saying that the plan was as inchoate as the pizza delivery plot on Fort Dix?

oh madverts -- not the pickup truck industry! but maybe he will soften the blow and have gun-racks installed in the back of the buses!
teaabe at 10:10 AM JST - 3rd November

the media should have accurately reported the plot.
