F... Josh Howard

I think he's replying to the part of the video where someone off camera says "Obama '08" and then Howard says "Obama and all that shit!"

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't watch the video and thus didn't know.

I still hold to the point that most of the people that talk shit like that, never end up voting anyway. Voter turnout is always so low in the inner city because (from the people I've talked to, who actually know something about politics) they feel like no matter who gets in office, they'll just end up getting shafted anyway, so they feel like why should they bother?

But I don't want people to think that because one douchebag says some dumb shit that it could possibly represent the way an entire group feels.

Anyone see Cuban's blog? He posted hate email received from various people. He also posted their email addresses. He subsequently took it down.

Thanks SmootSmack for helping to make my point.

And D, all I said that if Obama had a "vast amount" of supporters who felt that way, not "all". I know that he doesn't have everybody feeling that way that support him.

I'm going to try not to get too emotional here, but this kind of crap just gets my blood boiling. But, Howard felt damn comfortable "thug muging" in front of the camera with his boys, and showing his ass. If he or anybody else feel that strongly about this country, then please do us all a favor and just leave. Just get your unhappy, disrespectful ass out of our country. It is called a visa Howard, and I would even help to pay for it.

All this talk about Obama not wanting to wear a flag pin, and not putting his hand over is heart (or stomach) during the National Anthem should give us all a little pause for concern. He is a freaking U.S. Senator. And this man wants to be our president. Not if I have anything to say about it.

Like I've said in privious threads, this man Obama has questionable people that he associates with, and who support him.

Totally agree. Good post.

Howard is a disgrace the way he went around and made an ass of himself.

About Obama, I just find it odd that this is a senator not following the code.
http://www.stpeteblue.com/Flagcode.htm
"During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there."

So he's either really stupid, or really ignorant. How can you run for president and do such a thing?
Although his stance on 3rd term abortion is even a stronger reason not to vote for him.

Note the use of the word "should", and the omission of the word "must".

As to the "3rd term abortion" nonsense, I'm quite certain that Obama's stance doesn't require a 3rd term abortion for those facing such a dilemma -- just that the option should be there, and not a matter for the federal government with which to insert itself (if you'll pardon the expression).

You are right saden, we don't live in a fascist state. And we also don't live in a country where we have a military goose stepping through Main St. snatching people out of their houses, and putting them into box cars, and shipped off to a concentration camp just because somone didn't know proper Anthem Code.


But, Obama looked border-line defiant standing there during the National Anthem with his hands folded, while the other candidates were doing the right thing. Say what you want saden, but Barry has a deep seeded resentment for this country. But, don't blame him, he got most of his influence from his spirtual mentor of 20 years, Rev. Wright.

You know, you're absolutely right, I don't know why but you are right. I tell you what though, he isn't as bad as me. I hold my crotch while the anthem plays...I wonder what they would say about me if I were running for office.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha

This whole Obama-Hand-Heart incident is not even newsworthy; these type of issues should be reserved for those lame e-mails that extremists in both parties resort to. But, why would you even joke about holding your crotch when the anthem plays? It's one thing to fail to go through the motions of pretending to care about the flag. It's quite another thing to essentially piss on it.

saden1

You make it sound as if I shot Mother Teresa. Folks need to lighten up. With respect to flags in general, I don't believe they have or should have as much weight as people give them though I wouldn't "piss" on them.

To be frank, when I see the American flag I don't feel anything, it's just another flag, like that of the Chines and the Russians. When I read our constitution, however, I feel joy, proud and appreciative. Point is flags are not as important as ideas and people shouldn't get their panties twisted in a bunch over them.
