Obama Needs Slaves, Blackmails Supporters

http://americasnewstoday.com/stories/BRiT-08132008-oBAMAsLAVes.html

Some Barack Obama supporters have been told they must complete six hours of volunteer work by Friday if they want a seat at Denver's Invesco Field for the senator's Democratic nomination acceptance speech. The Rocky Mountain News reports a campaign phone message says volunteering makes one eligible for a ticket, but does not guarantee one.

Well, that phone message is not going over too well.

One applicant says: "It's not fair. It's elitist. And they need to practice what they are preaching." And another calls the conditions "blackmail," adding he was told to volunteer for 12 hours to have a shot at two tickets for the August 28 event.

The campaign originally said the tickets were free and that it hoped to fill half the stadium with Coloradans. An Obama spokesman says only those who indicated on their application they would volunteer have been asked to do so. But no one has explained the phone messages indicating a service requirement for a ticket.

Fox news is republican propaganda bullshit. Right wingers are the cause of this country's problems.

Are you kidding me?? Have ya watched CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR or read the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post or Chicago Trib. lately? Fox may lean to the right, but all of the above are as left wing biased as it gets.
