A little off topic, I was in the Orlando airport yesterday walking behind a group of African americans. Not sure how to say it politicallyu correct, but they wee derssed up like rap gangsters. Another group of African Americans walked by and had pro-Voting shirts on. The group I was following starting yelling, "Thats Right!" "Its Obama y'all" Very loudly. A number of white people turned around, mostly older people and the group replied (louldy) " I dint say McCain, I said Obama y'all!" Turn Around!"

Do you know how many people in earshot that may have been on the fence will now lean towards McCain? I posted out here before, that African Americans will be Obama's worst enemy.

I think the pollution from Hannity & Limbaugh and the Rove operatives do far more harm to Obama than black kids in get out the vote shirts. And besides its in Florida, the state election commission ensures you need not worry about any constitutional subversion courtesy of blacks.

you mis-read my post. It was not the people in the vote shirts. It was other people shouting about Obama and telling "white" people to turn around, beacuse they werent yelling about McCain. Their point was Obama was the BLACK candidate.
there were easily 200-300 people in a crowded airport witnessing this.

That is devisive behavior that will push white people on the fence away from Obama. Tie that in to Wrights comments and people will, unjustly so, fear a black president.
