Barack Obama appears at a function hosted by MoveOn.org. The material cited in the video (over "MoveOn.org Action Forum, Hate Speech in Action") consists of racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic material posted by MoveOn Action Forum participants (with the full knowledge and approval of MoveOn's moderators, and votes of affirmation from other MoveOn members). Why won't Obama repudiate this hate organization the way Ronald Reagan denounced the Klan in 1980?

Note: the "screaming in German" background sound for part of the video is a Hitler speech. It seems to go with the material from MoveOn.org.

  • No, that is not a fair characterization. The quotes were posted by individual users on a message board hosted by moveon; for you to attribute them to moveon is highly disingenuous, especially with scary Hitler speeches in the background. Name any organization with a message board, and one could easily find distasteful quotes from the users of that board.

  • Catfishstar, what part of "exercise of editorial control" don't you understand? (See the first site that comes up in a Google search on this phrase.) MoveOn removed (censored) postings with which it did not agree or found inappropriate, such as pro-Israel comments and criticisms of the hate speech. Since MoveOn let all the hate speech stand (until it became a major scandal), it apparently felt that terms like "whining arrogant Jew" and "Catholic Pedophiles of America" were appropriate.

  • THe german audio was overkill. If the quotes are genuine, and not taken out of context, then we should be concerned. You really need video if you are going to convince anybody anymore.

  • The quotes are genuine, but they weren't video; they were from MoveOn's Action Forum. (That is, there is no video of someone saying them.) Nor are they out of context; their hatred was intended. I figured that this should have sound, and I couldn't think of anything better than a Hitler speech to convey the idea of hatemongering and demagoguery.

  • This is exactly what I have been saying. The Democtaric natinal committe as well is becoming as above, only they won't see itVery sad. I suppose we will have to leave the US BEFORE we see more concentraion cmps .

  • This is factually incorrect. Attributing these comments to MoveOn is libelous & irresponsible. While these forums do condone free speech as is our right as Americans, MoveOn is a progressive organization explicitly against all forms of racism and Antisemitism.

    Please link to a CREDIBLE source to show these quotes are from MoveOn itself & not merely racist trolls causing trouble at a left-wing forum.

    By your logic, YouTube is itself racist because of any racist comments anywhere on YouTube.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG! that cracks me up! Do you really think that us as white people are scared that we will become slaves if obama becomes presidant? I really dont see why black people think that white people "fear" them, I for one dont, and no, not I personaly "dragged" you here I was just born white and now I have to listen to black people bitch about something that didint even happen to them. It is you, sir that make me want to reconsider my vote with that racist SHIT!

  • this is the most disgusting video. Too bad there are still stupid people like you who are so scared of anything new that you have to resort to this. Obama 08

  • If i saw this type of change coming and I was used to being first in every aspect. I would be afraid too.I have noticed fear in the hearts of the whites because of Obama.we will not treat you as we were treated. let the truth come to light. any foul play on this election could bring your greatest fears to life. If you have ever seen a people upset; .if harm comes to his head- as you have harmed all of our leaders. America will become as Irac. you dragged us here now deal with it.
