oh my fucking god this is a classic case of OH NO STOP PICKING ON THE AFRICAN MAN WAHHH but if someone made a fucked up cartoon of a white man i bet you any money they wouldnt rise as much of a stink as this fucking dumb bitch oh my god the golden one obama got made fun of!? lol this is such fucking bullshit i just wish the fucking world would end already

I can't even finish watching this. Think of it like this, if we had a cartoon of a white man being made fun of, "Oh, it's just a joke!" Yeah shut your fucking mouth. As Lobos222 said, "Make fun of everyone, except 'my race'..." You are absolutely correct. And to answer her question. YES, Obama is absolutely hilarious, I can't believe we have a black, muslim no less, in office. It's just absolute ridiculousness.

watch clip of her commenting on Dr Laura, and she is completely off the hook, like a gossip. Making slanderous assumptions about everything from what's in the lady's heart, to how creative they should be in punishing this particular person for her using the word Nigger. Liing on air should be as severe an infraction and Giles would have been right beside Dr. Laura, in remedial ethics class. While Laura is forced to watch the promised land, Giles should watch The Ten Commandments. Numbers 9 &10.

I won't be watching this bitches clips, mainly because of the unfair way she, Sharpton, and their newest propiganda mule, Nita Hanson, attacked an innocent woman for voicing a simple opinionated complaint on her OWN radio TALK show.

But I had to click on this to see what she Giles was like before august of 2010. Because she is so obnouxious now as opposed to this clip here. She doesn't misquote the NYT or take anything out of context here She is fair, neutral, and objective to the issue.

I hate this bitch. She makes a fool out of herself going on about Laura Schlessinger's comments a year later, when there are clear-cut issues that need to be ripped apart. She is so sensible here, and analytical with her assessment of the problem. The most she says derrogatory about this picture is she admires NYT and read them but their articles are too long. She calls Schlessinger a fraud and racist and puts a bit in for her show, for attacking the double standard surrounding the N-word.

"It should be ok if Barack Obama were a Muslim because we should have religious freedom here." Having "religious freedom" means that it is LEGAL for him to be a Muslim and no one can restrict his right to practice. However, this does not mean that people have to like the fact that he is a Muslim. Islam is a malignant religion, the Qur'an commands the murder of Christians and Jews over and over - there's no way in hell I'd vote for a Muslim. People have every right to take religion into account.
