1. If he isn't booed...

...someone needs to check the water in Aurora for Prozac, or Kool-Aid...

[wndycty]

2. Bud Billiken is not in Aurora. . .

. . .its on the southside of Chicago, OBAMA country!

3. Why boo?

Everyone should just stare at him in stony silence

[wndycty]

4. Or point and laugh

5. Question from East Central Michigan

What is the Bud Billiken Parade?
John
Is he some politician or what?

[wndycty]

7. No, the Bud Billiken parade is a 75 year old tradition in Chicago's . . .

. . .African American community. It is one of the oldest and largest parades in the United States. Bud Billiken is a mythical character created to encourage kids to stay in school. The parade is broadcast nationwide on WGN-TV (Cable). Its a must do for any politician in Illinois.

6. Why

Is this dimwit getting air-time on Wolf Blitzed's show? Has the media trotted out Barak?

The first we saw of him was at the DNC...seems the "Librul" media would have really started to get him on talk shows, interviews, sit downs, etc....

But then we have Alan Keyes...someone nuttier than squirrel shit and we get him jammed down our throats.

GO LIBERAL MEDIA!!!

8. They should cast pearls before him.

and what does Farrakhan have to say re: Obama vs. Keyes?

[wndycty]

9. No idea . . .

. . .will his opinion affect your choice?

[elehhhhna]

12. re: farrahkan

no but he has a big mouth and a large, relatively affluent, quietly activist following.

[wndycty]

13. So you think?

Believe what you want. Farrakhan is a leader but his influence is a little different what most people think it is. He is voice that people will listen to and evaluate but he does not have the influence over the Black community that those who hate him think he does. I don't even know why we are talking about him.

10. I just hope that WGN and the others show it..

And that the papers report it!
Notice that he isn't going to BB picnic? I suspect he wasn't invited...

[wndycty]

11. I still doubt he is going to be there.
