Please provide links and/or proof of the above allegations. The "whitey" comment has been shown to not have one ounce of evidence behind it, only Rush Limbaugh and others constantly repeating it.

On the contrary, the Republican camp leaves the dirty work at the grassroots level. That's where the real mudslinging is.
Obama has had a "free pass" all through the Democratic nomination process, but that will change as November approaches.
Obama is far from getting a free pass on anything. I think it's fair to say the gloves are off, and Obama will stand on his own two feet.
I guess it's simply a matter of perspective. How anyone could honestly claim they have no doubts about his character is beyond me.

Come on, now. I think we both can distinguish between discussion and a fulll-fledged smear campaign.

All one has to do is take a peek at this thread to distinguish the difference between smear and discussion:
The meanest, baddest guy in US history
If someone wants to discuss Obama on his issues, policies and character, no problem. However, no one can claim that there isn't some mudslinging taking place.

Isn't discussing the issues first like putting the cart before the horse?
Please, can you Obama supporters not come up with a better defense than playing the "race card" all the time? It's really lame.

I am ashamed of the rhetoric being posted about Obama. The venom "IS" racist.
That's a laugh! If he were judged by his character rather than his skin color, he wouldn't even have been allowed in the race, so be careful of what you wish for. The man hasn't even served one full-term in the Senate, yet you want him to be your President?
Judge the man on his character, his ability to rebuild this nation and help the vast majority of our country get back on their feet. Neither candidate should be elected or rejected upon the campaign trail's "BS" which everyone slings. The question we will need to answer in November is, which man "WILL" bring the best plan for new life in this nation.
Obama is part of the "good ole boys" network, so don't delude yourself. As you said: he's a politician and a millionaire. He could care the least about me or you..
We are sinking fast. How can anyone with an ounce of brains think that any of the "good ole boys" will affect change for anyone but themselves? Who's pockets have they lined so far? Bottom line, Obama is a politician and more to the point, a man. He has made mistakes and will make more. So...
It shouldn't be, but I think his wife's comments, and his questionable choice of friends say otherwise, don't you think? i.e. Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Father Fleger, etc.
Time for Americans to wake up and salvage what little of America is left. This is not about "Black, White, pink or green.
Obama has no problem with the high gas prices at the pump, he was only disappointed that they didn't spread the increases out a little more so everyone could get used to them.
By the end of the summer everyone will get it. Those of us who are not corrupt and rollling in dough already do. Gas at $5.00+ a gallon will speak volumes. The choices we make "WILL" matter for generations to come. Take the time to do a little due dilligence. Research and get to know both candidates for yourself. Stop allowing "the powers that be" to program your thoughts. Stop listening to the media's hype. Is this the kind of world do you want your grandchildren and beyond to inhabit? We hold the key... Choose wisely.
