Perez is an idiot. Bill started the whole race thing in the beginning. And why does Obama have to be Black? He's half white too! Can't people just be people?!?

How about mentioning the racist comment that Hilary Clinton's ex advisor Ferarro made the other day, and how she resigned??? Obama has tried to keep race out of this, yet her people keep bringing it up…

Funny how Perez, wants to point out race and gender when it suits his ass. Ask yourself this, "Why do you always have to make it about the Gays?" We get it; so stop trying to ruin people if they don't like "your" people.
Donovan says – reply to this

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know that Obama was linked to a guy that racist. Racism goes two ways. I get talking about your struggles as a culture, as a race, but encouraging and preaching division like that? I thought Obama was all about uniting?

perez, i luv ya and all but u didnt report much of anything when geraldine made those comments about barack. why's it gotta be all about race? it shouldnt be, but lets be a little more realistic about politics. btw, why are u even supporting hillary? she's turned into the type of politician that she's sworn she'd stand up against. i had major respect for her in the begining but now, thats all gone. she'll be kicking herself in the ass in the end when obama picks edwards or someone else as his running mate instead of her because of all of this kitchen sink stuff she's so fond of. but, i luv ya perez. you're the best

why does it have to be about race and gender? maybe for the same reason your blog makes it about sexuality and ethnicity. why should it matter if someone is gay/straight or latino/not-latino. your thinking is narrow-minded perez.

Michael Jackson will sing for Obama next…it doesn't matter whether you're black or white…yet it matters for MJ as he has turned white already…anyway playing the race card is the wrong step for the white one becos the black one supporters will make sure that they voted for him…end of the story

ps, fyi what he says is true. this country is controlled by "rich white people." and she's never been called a "n*gger." and she's never had a cab pass her by because she was black. and no, that doesn't say she's less qualified to be president, but it's not quite as ridiculous as you think it is.

i am SO sick of people pulling the race card! Perez says it best, cant we just pick whoever best suits the needs of this country?!?
here's an idea, lets have all the runners write down their views, have 1 person read them on air, not disclosing who said what- but identify each with a number. that way we can only focus on what they're saying they stand for and not on what they look like
ss794 says – reply to this

49

People are delusional if they don't think people are voting for these two based on race or sex. There has been many, many interviews of people saying that they have no idea what these two stand for but since he is black or she is a woman that is why they are voting for them. I heard one women say that she didn't know who to vote for because she was an African-American women. She said she was either going to vote based on color or sex NOT the issues. People are just ignorant and need to vote on issues.

51

We have to remember that the people who surround us, do not always speak for us. They do not know what is in our hearts and minds, only what lies in their own. The same goes for all these people claiming to know what Obama and Clinton are about. Do not be distracted or dissuaded by these people, vote for who you think will best represent you. And if you don't know who that is do some research, and figure it out.
♥ says – reply to this

52

BECAUSE THATS THE WAY IT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. DUH. It's always about race in everything. Gender isnt that much of a big deal ( I dont think anyway) I just think that people are more loyal to their race then their gender. And of course this is probably going to go down in history as one of the most famous presidency races, Especially because one is a black male, and the other a white female. Our country is very divided by race. If you disagree, your probably not a minority.

It's gotta be about race because Obama supporters are racists. They don't think they are though. Because they're also stupid.

55

It's interesting how you have NOTHING about Geraldine Ferraro's comment, Clinton's financial advisor, or other Clinton aids who have been known to make racially charged comments. It's apparent no one but Hillary Clinton is applying race into this campaign. Be fair, Perez. Maybe this is exactly why you should remain informing us about petty 'celebrity gossip' instead of applying your own bias to American politics.
Michael says – reply to this

Hillary, Bill and their surrogates comments are NO DIFFERENT than that Ass from Oklahoma. I am so disappointed in you Perez.

Racism, Gay Bashing, Sexism are all unacceptable.

I'm sorry to say that was a racially charged tirade against ANYONE white. I hate the fact that if I say something as a white person, it is prejudice but this man can holler to the rafters and it's not??? What's with that crap?

shut up perez, seriously. her campaign is just as racially/gender charged as everybody else's. quit making hilary out to be some angel. she's a dirty politician just like everyone in washington. in fact, she's one of the dirtiest. she'll do anything to win. at least barack is new blood… we don't need the same families in the white house over and over again. that's why NOTHING ever changes.

FUNNY STUFF>
OBAMA has gotta be dying. This is not good for him.
How is he going to FIRE his pastor?
What kind of weird church is that with people getting up in the aisles and running around like it was a basketball game or something?
This makes Geraldine Ferrao's comments look like nothing. (although she was right)
Obama is all flash and fiction.
No substance he can't do 3/4 of the crap he is promising.
It is like that movie "Wag the Dog"? He is straight out of a hollywood casting
G says – reply to this

61

This doesn't support your cause to get Monica Lewinsky's ex-lovers wife into the White House. You fail to post on the outlandish things that are said on behalf of Hillary's camp regarding Obama. Please perez, be responsible in your political postings. You DO have an influence, so make sure that people know both sides.

OD says – reply to this

63

I don't understand why you would comment about this but not about Geraldine Ferraro's comments on Obama.
While you have a preference for Hillary, you should be equally disturbed when attacks like this happen regardless of what side it's coming from.
I hope your one-sided bias doesn't sway people especially when Hillary's camp has been just as attacking if not more so.
VAL says – reply to this

64

BECAUSE HILARY IS THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN NEGATIVE THE WHOLE CAMPAIGHN. SHE HAS CONTINUOUSLY ATTACKED BARACK. PEOPLE ON HER SIDE STARTED WITH THE NEGATIVE RACIAL COMMENTS. INCLUDING BILL CLINTON AND FERRARO.

see i knew it…Obama is already separating people, this is bad, you don't want a runner up who is going to divide the country and be too proud, anyways he is not qualified in any ways, he is more of an inspirational speaker, who speaks mostly for the blacks.

Re: dan –

How is she more qualified?

Is it her time as First Lady? That is a joke.

Is it all the times she went abroad? That has been refuted by people who were in the meetings.

Hillary is a fraud and a racist.

Ok, are you completely stupid??? I kow that your a hillary supporter, but you've gota be fair. It's hillary's husband and supporter that are using the race card. Making hillary looking horrible. If you're truely going to make this website about politics suddently, you've gota have the facts.

Re: OD –

Perez hasn't commented because Geraldine Ferraro's comments about Obama were 1) not racist 2) true and 3) taken out of context. Also, she is not, nor was she ever, a member of Hillary's campaign staff.
Laurie says – reply to this

77

This is so disturbing.. and he's totally wrong about one thing just for starters. From first hand experience, as a working IRISH single mom - WOMEN have to work at minimum, TWICE as hard as a man who is less talented and less qualified for any job. This "preacher" has alot of nerve to spew ignorant, self-serving lies like this. Fact is - Hillary has probably had a much harder time overall getting where she is today than Barack. And if Barack himself doesn't step up to the plate and publicly regect this diatribe - I'm changing my vote!
sarah says – reply to this

78

This is very disturbing for me. Had I, a white female, gone on a rant about not voting for Barack because he is a black man, I would be accused as a racist. You will not see campaigns for Hillary in an all-white auditorium bashing him because of his color, its absurd. This is why the United States has laws against slander, defamation, and why hate crime is such an issue. We know he's black, we're over it. We don't bash him publicly for being black, nor should anyone judge Hillary for being a white female. And, God is white, sir. Ron Paul 08.

ACTUALLY RACHEL, OBAMA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE ELITE BOYS' CLUB. IN FACT, HE IS EVEN A FREEMASON AND DICK CHENEY'S 8TH COUSIN. LOOK IT UP IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME. SO HE IS A LOT LIKE THE REST OF THEM, DESPITE HIS PUBLIC PERSONA. READ PEOPLE GAWD!!!

I know WTF is up with OBAMA playing the race card all of the time. You don't see Hillary playing the gender card. So fucking pathetic! For once Obama should actually focus on the issues and in reality he since he has close to no experience he doesnt have much to say on the subject. INstead of attacking Hillary's personality why not be a man and base your campaign on what the American people really care about.
shay says – reply to this

this is ridiculous. this guy is so damn ignorant talking about how hillary doesn't know anything about discrimination and saying she never had to work twice as hard to be accepted. last i heard, black men got the right to vote before women. last i heard, black men could own property before women. it wasn't until 1994 that women weren't considered property of their husbands. now i am not saying what this guy is saying is wrong - i do think blacks have been treated as second class citizens since our country began but so have women. to criticize clinton based on the color of her skin is to be ignorant of all the other aspects that make her who she is, and vice versa with obama.

i agree with perez: can't it just be about how qualified the candidates are? i am certainly not voting for clinton because she's a woman or for obama because he's black. if those are the reasons you vote, please stay away from the polls. it's time for a president who knows what he/she is doing.

em says – reply to this

96

yeah, why do you cover only one side? I mean Hillary and her camp have said more hateful and outrageous things at this point. She has run one of the dirtiest campaigns in history!

Also- consider this: you are saying that with color being used against people for generations in this country it would never be okay to use color in one's favor??? Come on!!! Why not use white guilt to his favor? All things are not equal in this country AND IT IS OKAY TO SAY SO.

Perez is just upset to see a preacher talking. But why not say that?
Claire says – reply to this

97

Have you ever thought that Jeremiah said what he said because he was hurt and fed up with the racist comments coming from the Clinton camp, even Bill Clinton himself? Why is this a big deal? Obama wasn't with him when he said this and Obama is half white. I don't think this man travels with Obama or is even part of his campaign staff, so why do you call him a spiritual advisor as if he is a part of his campaign? As far as I know, he's just the preacher from his church in Chicago, which Obama hasn't been to in probably months because he's campaigning. Not a big deal to me, Bill Clinton saying that White people aren't ready for a black president is more upsetting.
Tiffers says – reply to this

98

I agree with many other people. You had nothing to say when Hilary's advisors made racial comments or attacked Obama.

some of your posts would seem less hipocritical or ignorant if they weren't so bias. but hey its your site right?!
anna says – reply to this

99

that is so embarrassing. So wrong, so provocative, so designed to stir prejudice, so… low. I can't believe people can get away with talking like that in this day and age in America. Does that kind of rant make blacks feel good about themselves? He should be ashamed. And Jesus was a black man? WTF?
Jon says – reply to this

While no one should inject race into this competition, It's sad that Perez is so one-sided that he never even mentioned what Geraldine Ferraro said. FUCKING SAD!!!

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
