Can this election season get any more bizarre? Of course we’ve got the PUMAs and the Log Cabin peeps displaying an incredible willingness to present embarrassing, debasing, credibility-crushing arguments in service of John McCain’s candidacy.
There is also a mind-boggling tiny anti-Obama “movement” backed by an anti-choice, anti-LGBT black preacher named Michael Warn. His followers put on a bit of unhinged performance art on Friday at a Barack Obama rally at the University of Miami, heckling and holding up signs that said “Obama endorsed by the KKK,” “Blacks Against Obama”, “Obama for abortions”, “Obama for gay marriage” Obama’s reaction (here’s the video):
Obama briefly paused and tried to calm the crowd down by telling the crowd to hold on. “Hey young people out there - it’s no problem for you to put your signs up, but let everybody - let me finish what I have to say, alright?,” he told the protesters as he stood on stage.
The group was escorted out shortly afterwards by security. “Alright guys, see ya,” Obama said as they left, “Alright, let’s get back to work.”
It would be a relief if I could say that this is some phony front organization put out there by the GOP, but alas, even the Republicans aren’t this insane. Warn’s folks believe:
* Black women are destroying the black man
* Oprah is the devil, leading all women down this path;
* Obama is the enabler of this destruction of the black man.
More below the fold.
