Doin’ the Smart Thang
Posted by Bossip Staff
Spike Lee popped up on the scene for his Miracle at St. Anna premiere in London sporting a very loud Obama hoodie. Let’s just hope he had a bullet proof vest under it for good measure.

I am Daywalker, and I approve this message.
From The Huffington Post:
According to the election *****ysis site FiveThirtyEight.com, some Pennsylvanians have complained about a robocall that impersonates Barack Obama and includes racial epithets:
“Over in Indiana, PA and Northern Cambria, PA, volunteers fielded complaints of a m*****ive wave of ugly robocalls both paid for by John McCain’s campaign and those paid for by third parties. The third party call was interactive, and purported to be from Barack Obama himself. The call starts out reasonably, and then “Obama” asks what the listener thinks is the most important issue. Whatever the response, “Obama” then launches into a profane and crazed tirade using “n***er” and other shock language.”
Hey Sydney. Did you see this?
ROLLING STONE: It’s Already Stolen
Investigation by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast released today
Don’t worry about Mickey Mouse or ACORN stealing the election. According to an investigative report out today in Rolling Stone magazine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast, after a year-long investigation, reveal a systematic program of “GOP vote tampering” on a m*****ive scale.
- Republican Secretaries of State of swing-state Colorado have quietly purged one in six names from their voter rolls.
Over several months, the GOP politicos in Colorado stonewalled every attempt by Rolling Stone to get an answer to the m*****ive purge – ten times the average state’s rate of removal.
- While Obama dreams of riding to the White House on a wave of new voters, more then 2.7 million have had their registrations REJECTED under new procedures signed into law by George Bush. Kennedy, a voting rights lawyer, charges this is a resurgence of ‘Jim Crow’ tactics to wrongly block Black and Hispanic voters.
- A fired US prosecutor levels new charges – accusing leaders of his own party, Republicans, with criminal acts in an attempt to block legal voters as “fraudulent.”
- Digging through government records, the Kennedy-Palast team discovered that, in 2004, a GOP scheme called “caging” ultimately took away the rights of 1.1 million voters. The Rolling Stone duo predict that, this November 4, it will be far worse.
There’s more:
- Since the last presidential race, “States used dubious ‘list management’ rules to scrub at least 10 million voters from their rolls.”
Among those was Paul Maez of Las Vegas, New Mexico – a victim of an unreported but devastating purge of voters in that state that left as many as one in nine Democrats without a vote. For Maez, the state’s purging his registration was particularly shocking – he’s the county elections supervisor.
The Kennedy-Palast revelations go far beyond the sum of questionably purged voters recently reported by the New York Times.
“Republican operatives – the party’s elite commandos of bare-knuckle politics,” report Kennedy and Palast, under the cover of fighting fraudulent voting, are “systematically disenfranchis[ing] Democrats.”
The investigators level a deadly serious charge:
“If Democrats are to win the 2008 election, they must not simply beat McCain at the polls – they must beat him by a margin that exceeds the level of GOP vote tampering.”
Block the Vote by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Greg Palast in the current issue (#1064) of Rolling Stone.
I like that hoodie…I want one…
Spike Lee’s not somebody you’d waste a bullet on. A flyswatter maybe.
@Scooby Dubious- STFU! Leave Spike alone!…I’m glad Spike is doing the right thing! That hoodie is nice!….
@Marquis de Sade- Thanks for posting that! It’s real and they are really getting ready for martial law, which leads me to believe that even if Barack wins, they are planning on stealing the election…I’m very nervous and scared about this…I reallypray that everything comes out right, with Barack on top…
that was really pray..
Marquis and Sydney are the same person. Click check me out under both of their names. It’s no coincidence that you can’t see their comments.
*sigh*
Jewish Woman, anyone can block their Check Me Out feature, and some regular bloggers chose to do so when Bossip added the feature months ago. So, no, it’s not a coincidence. Since there are unstable individuals on this site — such as yourself — some have chosen to take that extra step of caution.
Now, back to Marquis, thanks for posting that Rolling Stone story! I’ll take a look at it later. This was also posted in the NY Times today. I think Election Day is going to be pretty ugly, and probably worse than 2000 and 2004:

Obama Camp Seeks Special Prosecutor on Acorn Inquiries
By Michael Falcone
Updated | 8:45 p.m. Seeking to portray law enforcement investigations into reports of fraudulent voter registrations in several states as an extension of the controversial firings of United States attorneys, the Obama campaign on Friday called for a review by a special prosecutor.
Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, sent a letter to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Nora R. Dannehy, who is investigating the attorney firings, requesting that Ms. Dannehy also look into the whether F.B.I. investigations of the *****ociation of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, were politically motivated.
In a conference call with reporters on Friday, Mr. Bauer suggested that there was “an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics.”
“There is ample reason for us to be concerned about Republican involvement and we believe this ought to be included in the special prosecutor’s mandate,” Mr. Bauer said.
Mr. Bauer spoke to reporters after the McCain campaign manager Rick Davis stepped up his attacks on Acorn on Friday, saying that reports of fraudulent voter registrations cast a “cloud of suspicion,” over the election.
In his letter, Mr. Bauer wrote:
I request that Special Prosecutor Dannehy’s inquiry include a review of any involvement by Justice Department and White House officials in supporting the McCain-Palin campaign and the Republican National Committee (“RNC”)’s systematic development and dissemination of unsupported, spurious allegations of vote fraud. It is highly likely that the very sort of politically motivated conduct identified in the Department’s investigation to date, necessitating the appointment of a Special Prosecutor, is repeating itself, and for the same reason: unwarranted and politically motivated intervention in the upcoming election. An investigation must be entrusted to government officials who do not have an improper political motivation or a conflict of interest, either in fact or appearance.
Privately law enforcement officials have said that the F.B.I. inquiries in several states into the fraudulent voter registration cards did not amount to a national investigation. Just today, another lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania.
A spokesman for the McCain campaign, Ben Porritt, responded to the Obama team’s letter by saying that it represented an attempt to “criminalize political discourse.”
“Today’s outrageous letter to Attorney General Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Dannehy at the Justice Department asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Senator McCain and Governor Palin’s public statements about ACORN’s record of fraudulent voter registrations (including in this week’s Presidential debate) is absurd,” Mr. Porritt said in a statement. “It is a typical time-worn Washington attempt to criminalize political differences.”
@Marquis
When I read/see stories about the increasing ugliness of this divisive campaign, it can be discouraging, but then I see inspiring scenes, such as the photos from today’s Obama rally in St.Louis, which drew a whopping 100,000 people, his biggest crowd in the U.S. (I believe he drew 200,000 spectators in Germany this summer) Amazing
Also, it’s clear that the McCain-Palin campaign is going to use Rovian divisive politics for the remainder of the campaign. A McCain aide today said that Northern Virginia is not “real” Virginia, and Palin referred to some parts of the country as “pro-America.” Any day now, I expect McCain surrogates to outright say that it is unpatriotic for voters to support Obama. Crazy!
Oh, and Colin Powell will be on Meet the Press Sunday, so perhaps there will be a huge Obama endorsement soon — I hope.
Sydney
*sigh*
Sure, whatever you say. You just happen to both post articles right after each other. SURE. The thing I don’t understand is why do you continue to talk to yourself? You thanked him for posting a Rolling Stone article. When you actually just gave yourself a pat on the back. No coincidence that I’m not the only person that thinks your Marquis. I have seen other people say this as well. It’s ignorant isn’t it? Or as yo peeps would say, it’s ignant aint it.
Sydney
How is Kevin?
London supports Obama!
*waves @ Sydney*
I hope Colin endorses Obama! That would be grrrreat!
Hi, Lola! *waving*
I haven’t talked with you in months — I hope all is well in Indy.
Yes, we’ll see what happens tomorrow with Colin!
And, yeah, they love Obama overseas.
Did you see this, too? The Repubs are really slinging the mud:
In a television appearance that outraged Democrats are already describing as Joseph McCarthy politics, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn’t be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to “find out if they are pro-America or anti-America.”
I gotta go, but have a good night, Lola (love your gravie)!
And if you have a chance, you have to check out the SNL skit from this week with the crazy woman from the McCain rally. It’s hilarious — the video is posted at thehuffingtonpost(dot)com.
Whispering to Lola…sydney is really marquis. Don’t believe, ask around.
I hope Spike Lee has a oozies in his car for those radist *****s.
