The billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television says Barack Obama would not be a leading presidential candidate if he were white and that the Illinois senator's campaign has 'a hair-trigger on anything racial.'* * *
'Geraldine Ferraro [was] right,' [Bob] Johnson added. 'The problem is, Geraldine Ferraro is white. This campaign has such a hair-trigger on anything racial it is almost impossible for anybody to say anything.'
What's your opinion about Mr. Johnson's comments, Rev. Wright?

Steelers Owner Dan Rooney Endorses Obama
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney on Monday endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid.
In a statement, the 75-year-old Rooney said endorsing political candidates is not something he regularly does.
"As a grandfather and a citizen of this community, I think Barack Obama's thoughtful, strategic approach is important to America," Rooney said. "When I hear how excited young people seem to be when they talk about this man, I believe he will do what is best for them, which is to inspire them to be great Americans."
The Obama campaign said the Illinois senator and Rooney met Monday after Obama spoke at a meeting of the Alliance for American Manufacturing. Obama's Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, also addressed the gathering.
Last month, former Steelers running backs Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis also endorsed Obama.

Look if you are going to do that to Jayson's thread then you should sign it-
Jay Tea and not just "J"..
I have a good feeling about that because Jayson has a strong belief in free speech.
Do I 'm pretty damn sure that the "J" is for "J" as in Jay Tea and not "J" as in Jayson.
Be fair.

Valid point, Rory. I didn't connect "Jayson" and "Jay," and it was, indeed, me (wearing my "Main Page Editor" hat) who disemvowelled Adrian and not Jayson.
Oh, and for the record, Jayson is not my son. Just to avoid any confusion.
If you're curious, Rory, Adrian posted an article about some sports team owner endorsing Hillary, and linked to some stupid picture -- neither relevant to the topic at hand.

Fortunately, the only opinion that counts is the voters. Maybe they'll think he is and maybe they won't.

This B.E.T. guy sounds like a typical whitey who clings to guns and religion because he is bitter.

The only racist I really know about is you Willie which you have proven in other comments on this blog. Remember? The one where you argued blacks were too dumb to make voting decisions on their own?

JFO, I remember that thread and that was YOUR accusation, not WildWillie's. You completely rephrased what he said and now you throw out your version as a fact. That is disingenuous and borders on defamation.
