Flier Being Distributed in AA Neighborhoods in Virginia

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Replace "Team Obama" with "The Bush Administration" and you have a typical rant from a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

team obama campaign tactics getting clever in the closing days.  i like it!

WTF?

what is so hard to understand?

team obama, or some group closely associated with the obama camp, puts out this flier, so people like you will go 'OMG THE RETHUGLIKKKANS ARE AT IT AGAIN!'

If you actually believe something like that, please don't vote for Obama. We don't need your vote.

why is it so hard to believe?  they have played the race card since the primaries, why wouldnt they continue?

the idea that team obama is somehow above skullduggery is laughable.

sure, but it's happened more than once before....were those also democratic tricks?

A bit early in the campaign for this kind of thing, no?  Typically, they wait until right before election day.

OK so in the last week we have
1. a nutjob McCain campaign worker create a hoax of a black man hate crime in PA
2. Virginia McCain supporters put up fake fliers to try and trick blacks from voting
3. A well funded GOP group push a TV ad with Obama's angry black preacher
4. A group of skin heads plot to kill Obama and 88 other blacks in a killing spree

anyone else see a pattern?

Yes. I've been saying McCain would win this way for weeks.

you dont seem to have a lot of faith in most white americans. I dont think this will work, it just shows that there are still racists out there, but recent polls show obama with higher white support than Kerry. I do not believe in the Bradley effect, certainly not people lying about voting for Obama. At best some of the undecided Dems could be closet racists, but even if Undecideds break heavily for McCain it is not enough

Maybe Obama should return the favor and hand some similar ones out at Southern Baptist churches

Anyway, people are blowing up over this.  It's a low level saboteur doing something ineffectual

Not surprising. Republicans have always won elections (since the 70s at least) by doing their best to disenfranchise blacks, minorities, and poors.
