McCain at Sturgess is no different than Obama attending the now defunct FREAKNIK
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 04:41 PM by wndycty
Black folks and Atlantans know what I'm talking about. Can you imagine if Obama went to Freaknik as a candidate? There would be hell to pay.

ON EDIT:

1) It should be noted that there is no reason to believe Obama ever attended Freaknik

2) Obama was rumored to introduce Kanye West at this week's Lollapalooza but I think they were smart not to let that happen.

3) Here is some background on FREAKNIK http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/atlanta/stories/2008/04/13/whatever_0414.html

3. Did Obama actually attend a "Freaknik"? If he didn't, please alter your thread title

it reads like he actually went to one and you're comparing them.

Do I want to google Freaknik or should I just leave it up to my imagination?

7. I also thought the OP was saying that Obama went to the Freaknik
Freaknik was pretty wild. It was a giant party. You can leave it to your imagination. :)

5. The wife and I were just discussing that very point
Still, you know a lot of people out there are shaking their heads and saying, "What a goof ball." McCain did himself no favors with that bit.

8. Yeah, imagine Barack Obama walking down Peachtree Street
staring some female hang out of a car with her "girls" over flowing out of her too small bikini top? I could only imagine how Sean Hannity, Lush Rentballs, or Karl "The Pilsbury" Rove Boy would have to say about that?
