The one I saw last night was in VA
Apparently the people responsible for this blatant lying have a nationwide billboard campaign
This is what they have on their website:
"A Treasure from the Eagle's Nest - White Guilt Emancipation Declaration: "We, black American citizens of the United States, do hereby declare that our fellow white American citizens are now, henceforth and forever more free of White Guilt." Click here to view the entire text of this declaration that grants whites freedom from White Guilt as a result of the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a black man, to be our president based solely on the color of his skin.
Eagle Eye Alert - Obama's post-racial promise by Shelby Steele exposes how Barack Obama seduced whites with a vision of their racial innocence precisely to coerce them into acting out of a racial motivation. Dr. Steele writes: "There is nothing to suggest that Obama will lead America into true post-racialism. His campaign style revealed a tweaker of the status quo, not a revolutionary. Culturally and racially, he is likely to leave America pretty much where he found her."
A Historic Moment: Barack Hussein Obama Elected As Our Nation’s First Black President and Our Nation’s First Marxist President"
Some true gems there :crazy:

Never went to the site. Just figured it was part of the election mania.

So they may keep them up a while longer
Maybe they can be countered with signs like
Colin Powell: Real Republican Real Obama Supporter

14. The ones I've seen are all in areas of high minority populations |
|
which I found curious. Do the Republicans think that they can sway the minority vote with slogans? We're a little beyond that I hope.

10. Who exactly are they trying to convince? |
|
Black people? Yeah, I'm sure they know quite a bit about MLK to know that billboard's bogus. White Republicans? They pretty much hate MLK.
And the average person probably couldn't name a black Republican. Maybe Alan Keyes (that's not a good sign).

13. A "frenzied wedding ... of the KKK and the radical right." |
|
That's what King called the 1964 Republican Nation Convention. "The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism."
These were quotes taken from King's written records, published as an "autobiography" after his death.

15. Some of us (me) are old enough to remember southern Democrats in the 50s and 60s. |

Clearly, that billboard targets people who don't ... and don't know the bigots switched to the GOP in 68 .. Nixon's "Southern Strategy."

18. I think the Southern Democrat bigots preferred Wallace in '68 |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-18-08 03:48 AM by Art_from_Ark
That's why he won 5 of the Deep South states. I think Nixon capitalized on that in '72.
