The Mail website isn't just home to British racists, it also holds great appeal to racists of other countries. The Mail online proudly lets commentators from across the globe write absolute rubbish which is welcomed onto the site by 'moderators' and voted up by other moronic readers. How else could you end up with Barack Obama being accused of 'hating whites' and Glenn Beck being labelled a 'libertarian'?
The story in itself is very interesting; an African-American Professor was returning from holiday when he realised that he had lost his keys. So he and his driver had to break into the home, the Police were called and an argument about racial profiling took place and the Professor was arrested - he had proved his ownership of the home but was arrested for his actions towards the police man. Barack Obama got involved - presumably before being fully aware of the exact facts - and pointed out that African-Americans have long been victims of racial profiling, something which I do not think any sane person can deny.
Mr President is way out of line on this one...

But, presumably, Glenn Beck is spot on? The comments sticking the boot into Barack Obama are well into the green:
Very confidence inspiring, a "President" who rushes to pronounce on a sensitive matter without even getting the facts straight first. Hmmmm, maybe his teleprompter had broken down again ....

In one fell swoop Obama managed to alienate most of the dedicated, hard-working policemen and policewomen in America.

Whilst Glenn Beck (a C of the highest order) is getting plenty of support:
Beck is a Libertarian, not right wing. There is a difference.

If you watched or listen you would know that Glenn Beck is not a "right-wing" which in this case sounds like a pejorative in this context. In fact Glenn Beck is a Libertarian who attacks both the Democrats and the Republicans. A libertarian is more in the middle wanting fiscal conservative and personal liberty. I also believe that we are all using the word "racist" incorrectly we should be using bigot instead.

Joe from Newark keen to point out that Barack Obama is not racist, he is actually a bigot. Wonderful that 362 agree with this comment. As for Fox News - the kind of news station that you'd associate with a fascist dictatorship (which, I guess, is what most mainstream media is) it is getting plenty of support as well:
fox news is a joke of a news channel

And is much better than the BBC:
Fox (Faux) News is the very best example of why we must ensure that we retain the BBC in this country!

2. So from 'closet Muslim' to 'brought up a Muslim' to went to school in a Muslim country. It gets weaker with each comment you make. I went to a Church of England school but I ain't a Christian. I had lessons in Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Sikhism in a school in this Christian country. It means nothing. You could say I was instructed in Islam, but I ain't a Muslim either. And nor is Obama.
3. I still do not know which quote you are on about.
But I don't really think it is worth continuing this as you won't produce any evidence to back up your claims and you have had multiple chances to do so.
To answer your comments
1. No I don't agree with your comment on snopes. To have no comment to make about the subject of the NAU which has been on the cards for the at least the last 4 decades. Reams has been written about it admittedly not in the national media who usually ignore anything that will truly inform the people. This when it happens and will happen . Will have a life changing affect on the nations involved as has happened in Europe. I would have thought this there would have been some response to my query likewise my query on the CFR the most influential body in the USA nothing!
2. There is evidence that at least in his early years he attended school in Indonesia which is a Muslim country, therefore, he would have been well instructed in Islam.
3. The quote on his comment about his grandmother was from the New American Magazine that has been around for 60 years obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but they have never been found guilty of misquoting. I am sure that while the worlds eyes were on him during the election it would have been callous to ignore visiting a dying woman it would not have gone down well with the public.
It's hardly bias if snopes says they don't exist. Either they are in the books, or they aren't. Do you disagree with any of this:
http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_obama_write_that_he_would_stand.html
It's got pages numbers and everything to prove what it says. And it proves the quotes either don't exist or are completely out of context.
Also - not the slightest shred of evidence that Obama was raised or educated as a Muslim. Nor that he is a 'closet Muslim' as you claimed before, so stop spreading blatant lies.
Not sure what you are on about regarding his grandmother. She was one of the most influential people in his life and just before she died he took a couple of days out of the campaign to visit her.
On other words: no evidence at all he is anti-white.
You will be telling us next he wasn't born in America so shouldn't be President...
If you are referring to checking up on either snopes or hoax. I found them not to be impartial when I queried for eg.about the American Union it claimed it was false when it is true. They are okay for superficial things.
As to Rev Wright he is blatantly anti-white. That is why he appealed to Obama. Whether we like it or not he was brought up and educated as a Muslim
It is also on record during his campaign that he stated that his white grandmother who brought him up was not too bad for a white, which if she had been alive I think would have been insulted.
Fortunately we have Ofcom to stop that. But what was it that David Cameron wanted to do to Ofcom....
As for him being a closet Muslim - if that's true, how come all the fuss about Rev Wright?
From Dreams of my Father. Where he makes no bones about the fact he does not like whites and he is a closet Muslim
From Dreams of My Father :'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
From Dreams of My Father :'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father:'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY,
From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

In terms of the U.S. federal budget - $5 million is peanuts! The estimated expenditure for 2009 is $3.1trillion. At the current expenditure rate, $5 million is less than 4 minutes worth of spending on defence and the War on Terror.

(notice the headline isn't something along the lines of 'now blacks allowed to stand in front of expensive things')
No comments though, strangely.
Also reminds me of a Dave Chappelle joke:
'All black guys are scared of cops. You think if my house got robbed I'd call the cops? My house is way too nice for them to think I lived there.'
