Sorry Bruce. I didn’t spend tons of time on it. I was just trying to answer your question. No hidden agenda here.

Students at Obama’s Hollywood Fundraiser? I don’t rightly know. If I was running for president, I wouldn’t have invited my 20-yr. old self to a fundraiser. I had zero funds for donating to political campaigns.

@FiredUp and others on all sides of this discussion…some of the rhetoric in here is getting a bit out of hand as Bruce has said.

As for FiredUp’s reference to “Vetting McCain”…you really should show some originality (for lib circles anyway) and check out who you site. “Vetting” is written by a nut named Ted Sampley. He is a man who I would otherwise pay some respect because of his military experience, but he has become well known for exaggerating and downright lying about the fate of MIA soldiers and former POWs. He also believes that McCain is a “Manchurian Candidate” type Soviet mole who received his programming during his POW years in Vietnam. In addition, he actually suggests that McCain’s command of Spanish is proof that he is secretly working with the Cubans.

Sampley is a kook, FiredUp…quote him if you like, but many of us here don’t take things at face value. Anyone who researches Sampley will see through the crap.

"mjonthemove": If you're going to take a crack at telling the story, tell the whole story: "Tickets were $1,000, $500 for "young professionals" 35 and under, and $250 for students." I wonder how many "students" were in attendance at Barry O's shindig...

This just in! I am the messenger, and NOT the author nor source: There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info.

“John Smith“: If you’re going to http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2008/08/senator_obama_w.php” rel=”nofollow”>copy talking points verbatim off of other web sites, you’re going to need to credit the original source.

Also, tone down the racist rhetoric. You can make your points about Obama without being so divisive.

“mjonthemove“: Excellent list. Some real power brokers in that one.

And what, precisely, was the “per plate” cost to get into said McCain fundraiser?

All I am saying is that Hollywood is throwing money at someone the know nothing about. And what they do know that he idealizes Malcolm X and his church that he attended and worked for over 20years has the same agenda that Malcolm X originally came up with.

So, was Malcolm X a great man or someone that was so radical and/or extreme that his own Nation of Islam murdered him.

Factcheck.org is a obviouly biased towards Obama, please educate yourself, look at their pathatic references. Why don’t you simply look at the statistics and/or correct mine:

~36 million African Americans
1.1 million in prison
30 billion spent per year = 27,000 per inmate
estimate ~33% of population capable of working, but probably much less.
.33*36 million = 12 million
1.1 million / 12 million = ~10% of working force
1 out 3 male Africans Americans obtains a felony by age of 18.
28,000 per foster child per year (Milwaukee county)
25,000 per W-2 reciprient per year (WI)

The problem is the miss-perception that African Americans are victims, the reality is they are sucking the well dry. With this miss-perception Hollywood and the media jumping on board dead cities start to appear and the economy collapses. For only comprehising 13% of the population the African American community takes the lions share of the resources, but then turn their back on America to give to their people in Africa every chance they get (Obama’s main agenda). Why don’t you check out his website where it is clear what his agenda is.

John Smith, there is a website called factcheck.org with your name on it. Post #37 needs much revision. Please educate yourself.

The rest of you watch this, I’ll start by saying I’m a moderate, but no one will believe it and accuse me otherwise, which is fine.

For my second act, I’ll say this.
3.5 weeks ago, John McCain held his own Hollywood fundraiser with the likes of the following in attendance:
Stephen Baldwin
Pat Boone
Wilford Brimley
Dean Cain
Jon Cryer
Robert Duvall
Angie Harmon
Patricia Heaton
Lorenzo Lamas
Craig T. Nelson
Gail Oâ€™Grady
Jason Sehorn
Gary Sinise
Jon Voight

All I’m saying is please try to discuss real issues instead of whose side is more or less attractive, or whose side is vapid and connected with Hollywood. This is almost laughably boring. I like reading conservative perspectives when they are thoughtful………………..
