i have been watching random videos about the presidential campaigns, which i have received through email, or just came across on youtube or any place of the sort. i wanted to share two of these videos, and share my opinion of the matter.
here goes it...
now, the first video was the lesser of the two evils, but crazy nonetheless. a few McCain supporters put together bumper stickers making a mockery of Obama and his alleged "association with Islam" by combining the symbol for communism and a crescent and star within the slogan "Obama for Change". a few muslims that support McCain (lol) and others found this offensive and drove them out of the rally. now i would hold back, but its my blog so why should i?
first of all, when did a crescent and moon become the symbol for Islam? this has always been a mystery to me, and probably derives from the fact that Islam is commonly associated with the Middle East. second, how dare he make that prejudice ignorant comment that Mohammed SWS said Islam spreads by misleading the infidel or something of the sort. people so openly broadcast their ignorance. the only thing misleading about this religion are the lies people tell of it. but my thing is, we have all been blessed with intelligence, and the ability to seek knowledge. people who say things like this are lazy and ignorant because they lay down their ability to learn for themselves and believe whatever they are told. third, how is it that you can be a muslim, and support a candidate who is pro-war? and not just any war, but the war in iraq that kills many muslims everyday. INNOCENT muslims might i add. idk, just a thought. i could go on, but i dont feel like it. bottom line it is ignorance.
this second video takes the cake though. this is a newscast from al-jazeerah. they were covering a republican rally for Sarah Palin in Ohio. this was offensive to people of African-American descent, as well as muslims. now, i am not racist in the least bit. but these people are trash. me feeling this way about them has nothing to do with the fact that they are caucasian, but only to do with the fact that they are IMMORTALIZING THEIR IGNORANCE on television. you want racism, here it is.
now, when did it become an insult to call someone a "muslim"? just wondering.
this one woman on here says she doesnt like Obama because he thinks white people are trash. wow. his mother and the grandparents who raised him are white, which makes him half white, so why would he think they are trash? then this other lady, lol, says the "blacks are gonna take over". i mean she sounded pretty upset, lol. just craziness. i cant say enough, or more than they have said for themselves.
someone commented in response to this video that people are only voting for Obama because he is black. well, it is obvious that these people are only voting for McCain because he is white. they dont know anything about Obama, but have so many negative things to say about him. they clearly took one wide-eyed glance and said "i aint votin fer him". its scary that this type of mindset is still present, but all we can do is make sure we do not fall into it.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

apparently i am having trouble copying the videos, so i will give the links until i can fix it.
