Re: WarOnTara –

Wow there is some kind of racism in here?

ASK RACIST OBAMA ABOUT REV MEEKS.. HIS MENTOR, THE ONE THAT HATES GAYS… FUCK OBAMA.. HE IS A MOTHER FUCKING LAIR PHONEY..
Re: ROB –
Obama is not black. He's multiracial. His mother is white. He got where he is through hard work. Deal with it.

Re: OBAMA IS ANTI CHRIST –
Why would anyone mark your words? You are a racist loser posting on perezhilton.com and likely a complete idiot.
Um to all you porch monkeys who think your gettin a black president IF he wins that is YOUR NOT. Cuz um he's just as much white is he is black. He is half white and half black. And was raised by a single white woman! That's the only reason he is not dumb as fuck as a FULL black man will NEVER be president. Obama is so white washed it's not even funny. he speaks and talks like a white person. He's barely black other than he's dumb as fuck and stands for nothing and has no experience and just says change! we need change! and yet he can never explain what that "change" will be… Good hell. wake up people. he has no idea what he's doing. Vote for him or Mccain but please vote for someone who u ACTUALLY follow what they are gonna DO for America NOT just cuz everyone else is "following" like sheep after some Elvis rockstar persona person… If so then u will see how fast America will fall after He is in office.
please look at the picture on this link…this man killed his 3 young children and is still on the loose…please help find him!!

ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THAT OBAMA IS AN ANTI-SEMITE IS NOT ONLY AN IDIOT BUT ALSO COMPLETELY UNINFORMED.
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Re: ObamaforPresident! – bullshit. he has no experience none. if he is elected which he wont he wont do a damn thing… like blacks now. think they can accomplish everything by just sitting around and running their mouths.
Re: Server that N1gger up! – wow what and educated response not if you wish to be a a biggoted racist prick tell it to someone who actually cares because i'm pretty positive that no one gives a shit what you think or who you are and most often the people who are vocally against homosexuality are actually gay themselves are you hiding in the deep dark closet

FINALLY!
Hussien Obama Barack is a porch monkey smokin no experience person who happens to "look the part"… He speaks well and that's about it and so people are like sheep and are like OMG he's so great! Yet he's done NOTHING really! Thank God he is half white or we'd really be in trouble if he wins that is. If he does win he will most likely end up like JFK within a year. No doubt. Anyway, vote Mccain. At least he has experience and a plan… Not just "talk" of change. Whatever that is Obama? We're still waiting to know what it is? And all u sheep that follow him and really no nothing about politics or follow it u will see if he is voted in how awful it will be. SO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE U VOTE! KNOW WHAT YER GETTING!
Re: Server that N1gger up! – fuck off.
i liked this interview.
Full of promises he will break.
Mario, you will go with whoever supports cock action. Wanker
YOU ALL WILL BECOME SLAVES TO OBAMA IF HE WINS. JUST LIKE ALL YOU BLACK PEOPLE ARE SLAVES TO DEMOCRATS RITE NOW. GET READY. IF HE WINS U WILL SEE HOW BAD THINGS WILL GET. MARK MY WORDS.
LOL! You're ridiculous. You never reference Obama except to talk about the negative, until he talks to the gays. You're pathetic. Love your site and almost boycotted because you refused to put up the "Yes You Can" video but figured, whatever, you're just a silly blogger and not a real journalist, so I wasn't going to get bent out of shape about the musings of a lonely, chubby guy. But it's sad that homosexuality is basically your make-or-break issue … your as bad as the religious nuts who only vote for people who are against gay marriage!
So, you finally realized that you were actually HELPING the Repubs by polarizing all of us? Shame on you….but good for you for FINALLY figuring it out. OBAMA 08!
Ya let's just see how much of a "change" Obama will make if he wins?! I can't wait to see it all! Yes! All of you that are SO excited and voting for him! I can't wait to see in a year just how much America will change if he is voted in! Nothing will change! U will see! and if anything it will get worse! Just wait! Go ahead and vote for him! Then in a year come back on here and tell me how GREAT things are all you Obama supporters! Haha! Deal???!!! IF YOUR SO SURE OF HIM AND VOTE FOR HIM THAT THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE"! MHMM. U KNOW NOTHING OF HIM AND ARE SHEEP AND HE WILL DO NOTHING. BUT COME BACK IN A YEAR OR SO AND LET'S JUST SEE HOW GREAT IT IS WITH HIM RITE! SINCE U ALL THINK HE'S JESUS! LOL. Cuz guess what he will be NO different and much worse… I'll bet on that. Just watch…..
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BIG OL CHANGE OBAMA IS TALKING ABOUT RITE!?! TELL ME WHAT IT IS? HE'S NO DIFFERENT IF NOT WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE WITH NO EXPERIENCE… PROMISES HE WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP AND THE WORST THING ABOUT HIM IS HE HAS NO REAL PLAN! ALL HE SAYS IS "CHANGE"! WE NEED CHANGE! BUT DOESN'T EVER SAY WHAT THAT IS? HMM… CAN'T WAIT TO SEE JUST HOW GREAT IT WILL BE IF HE WINS! ALL YOU OBAMA PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO TELL ME IN A YEAR OR 2 WHAT IS SOOOO DIFFERENT AND BETTER ABOUT AMERICA AND WHY U VOTED FOR HIM! I'LL BE WAITING!
Finally Perez you are not bashing Obama!! You have major influence over your readers, I think it's great you are pro Hilary but scary when you bash him because of the influence you have.
No one knows enough to be a pesimest…about anything.
SCREW OBAMA! HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT GAY ISSUES! BARF!
PLEASE TELL ME OBAMA SUPPORTERS.. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS SOOO GREAT ABOUT OBAMA AND WHAT HE IS GONNA DO THAT WILL BE SOOO MUCH BETTER AND HOW GREAT HE WILL BE AND HOW GREAT THE NATION WILL BE IF HE WINS AND WHAT ALL THIS "CHANGE" TALK IS ABOUT?? PLEASE TELL ME… GO AHEAD… I'LL BE WAITING….
Well, I am a Negrita Puerto Rican, so I am a porch monkey to I guess. Black Puerto Ricans are of African descent and if you want to read about us goole up Black Puerto Ricans. The next human rights movement in this country will be when the Black Puerto Ricans stand up and demand to be treated equally by the lighter Puerto Ricans who are racists against us.
#19 - MCCAIN/PHELPS '08 says – reply to this
"HUSSEIN" OBAMA OR CLINTON WILL NEVER WIN IN NOVEMBER. THE F A G S THAT THEY WANT TO PROTECT WILL BE DESTROYED WHEN WE TAKE OVER IN NOVEMBER.
NOBODY WANTS F A G S OR N I G G E R S. IT IS NATURE'S LAW!!!
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A DINOSAUR ASSHOLE? WE WILL WIN AND WE WILL TRIUMPH OVER THE REPUBLICUNTS AND THEN YOU'LL BE BENT OVER A BARREL GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU!
Re: OBAMA WILL RUIN AMERICA – What else does your
8-ball have to say?
All Hillary can do is Lie!
She's lied to the American People to the point where no one believes anything she says anymore.
Obama has more experience than Hillary, that's been proven.
Hillary will not win the democratic nominee, the numbers don't add up.
Obama is the only one who can heal our country.
All Hillary wants to do is destroy our country.
Obama is a con artist. Tony Rezko and he had been bff. The only change Obama is interested in is how much he and his old lady can deposit in their bank accounts.
I predict a Clinton like out-of-pants experience for Obama someday too. (Can't blame him for that though.)
Re: OBAMA IS ANTI CHRIST – GOSH! At first I thought you were talking about your MOTHER! She fits your description!
GO OBAMA!!
http://theworldsgreatest.blogg.se
As a lesbian I cannot stand Obama. He only did this interview because he knows the gays LOVE Hillary.
GO HILLARY!
I can't wait until McCain starts his attacks on Hillary.
2 things will happen.
1) She will blame someone else for everything.
2) She will start crying "He's picking on me."
I'll be crying from laughing so hard.
Some Negrita Puerto Ricans are filled with rage. They forget that they are Black, just not American Black. Even the whiter skinned Puerto Ricans look down on us. If a racist saw me on the streets he would call me the N word and a monkey. believe me. Speaking Spanish does not spare you from your true ancestry.
I applaud you Perez. Thank you for making an effort to show the good sides and bad sides of both Candidates. (for a change!)
I hardly think the gay agenda is on anybodys radar in this election. real issues face us, such as how we will get along with james brown as first lady.
he's a homophobic asshole & the only reason he's doing the interview is to fool people…him and his gay-bashing reverends can all go to hell…make sure you bring that "lovely" wife too…
I AM A PROUD NEGRITA PUERTO RICAN AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED THE N WORD AND A MONKEY BUT I AM TOO PROUD TO BE AFFECTED BY THE IGNORANCE OF OTHER PUERTO RICANS WHO ARE ASHAMED OF THEIR TRUE RACIAL HERITAGE.
Re: Negrita – brilliant.!! you have hit it right on the glans. a viable third party is exactly what we need. 50 for and 50 against doesnt work very well at all.
PLEASE: GO TO GOOGLE AND LOOK UNDER BLACK PUERTO RICANS. HIGHLIGHT THE STORY CALLED BLACK PRIDE, NEW YORK POST FEB 15, 2007. IT WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR IS SO MUCH SELF-HATE AMONG THE BLACK PUERTO RICANS TOWARDS OTHERS.
Re: Server that N1gger up! –
Perez - any way to get this a-holes web provider information, account, or IP address? If so, please let us know. It's really awsome when jerks like this are using their work computers to spout this crap.
F-ing coward…
thanks Perez dear for putting that up.
I can't believe some of the things that these nasty racist people say on this site. I bet they wouldn't say things like that in public. Isn't there some kind of tool you could use to filter hate speed on these comments? Calling Obama names isn't going to help McCain win. Obama does have experience, it might not be in the Navy, but who wants another war mongol for a president anyway? Look at what we have now. And the change that Obama speaks of is "its time for a new president with good ideas and a better plan for America" If you would do some research, you would know that.
One simple observation:
It is virtually impossible to win the presidency if you not win 2 of the following 3 states:
Florida, Ohio & Pennsylvania.
Who will never ever get the Florida vote because he's continuing to imply that Florida's voice does not count (even using his lawyers to block a new vote)?
Who could not win Ohio (a good McCain-state as well) even though he was outspending his opponent 3:1.
Who will probably lose Pennsylvania even though he's -again- outspending his opponent 3:1?
I rest my case.
It's math people! Pure and simple!
If Clinton wins PA by more than 10+, Obama has a biiiiig problem.
It be strange but certainly he hung like a hamster.
Re: TELL ME –
1) I prefer his system of making healthcare more affordable.
2) His expansion of Veteran benefits is more comprehensive than either McCain or Clinton's. He wants to streamline the DoVA and the DoD so that there is no more lag with soldier benefits and health care.
3) His "Zero to FIve" education plan
4) He is the ONLY candidate to talk extensively about Net Neutrality and wants to create a cabinet level position regarding new tech and media
5) Of the three candidates remaining, he was the ONLY one to vote AGAINST the FISA Immunity act, and as president would introduce legislation that finally repeals it (McCain voted for it, Hillary no showed the vote).
That's off the top of my head. I am also aware that no president can make the world instantly better. But I do beleive the right leader can bring people together. Just as in the past, when the leader is inspiring enough the people will start their own movements to bring about change. So aside from his concrete policies that I happen to agree with, I feel he is best suited for this moment in our history.
Hope that helps.
well lookee here. if it aint a queer luvin monkee. back home in oklahoma weed a raped this chimp all the way to africa just fer lookin at a queer. raped him so hard he wouldn shit right fer a week! yee haw!
WELL…I TOOK A LOOK AND IT'S TOTAL HORSE SHIT…HE DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THE GAY COMMUNITY AND THIS PITIFUL INTERVIEW PROVES IT. SO, OBUMMER, GO EAT SHIT YOU UNQUALIFIED TURD, THIS QUEEN IS STICKING WITH THE CANDIDATE THAT CARES ABOUT HIS COMMUNITY…HILLARY RODAM CLINTON. YOU CAN GO FUCK OPRAH FOR ALL I CARE MR OBUMMER, CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER HAVE MY VOTE…NEVER !!!!! AND GUESS WHAT ASS WIPE…THE MAJORITY OF THE GAY COMMUNITY IS IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for finally giving this amazing man some credit. Chances are we'll all need to get behind him and our party soon.
He looks like the president of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, skinnier brother.
Re: Dawn M – it often seems that people of color are even more racist than palefaces. discuss amongst yourselves
Re: JUST ANOTHER CRYBABY LOSER! – BOY YOU SURE ARE ONE HELL OF A ROTTED PIECE OF HORSE SHIT AREN'T YOU ???? AND IT'S OBVIOUS YOU DON'T MIND MAKING A TOTAL IDIOT OF YOURSELF ON A GAY MAN'S BLOG. OOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SUCH A TUFF AND MIGHT BREEDER…NOT !!!!!!
Re: MOI –
As a Lesbian do you think you might be leaning toward Hillary because she's a woman? Just asking. Don't rip my head off…
IT is very sad how the Negrita comes on to spew vile racism against an African man. She is also of African descent, which makes it doubly sad. I am sure that this Negrita has been called the N word and a monkey like all Negrita's and the Black Puerto Rican male. Your feeling that you have nothing in common with the Black Americans does not refute your color and true racial heritage. I am sorry that your brother suffered such personal abuse from light skinned Puerto Ricans when they told their daughter not to marry your brother, the El Negro. We Puerto Ricans are not doing so well here or back on the island I have proof.
Re: bathog –
Don't encourage the racist white people out there. The only reason people of color self hate is because they want to be like/accepted by white's. A racist white person doesn't care how light skinned you are. You're still not white.
please barack dont be a fag hag
thanks for posting this - great article!!
ELTON DOES A CONCERT FOR HILLARY AND OSAMA DOES AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ADVOCATE, STRANGE TIMING.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – I FIND HIM HIDEOUS LOOKING AND CAN NOT IMAGINE THE NIGHTMARE OF HAVING TO LOOK AT THIS CHATTERING SKELETON DRAPED IN BROWN CREPE PAPER FOR FOUR TO EIGHT YEARS!!!
Bush's "experience" included bankrupting 3 companies and being bailed out by dear ole dad and his friends each time. Who thought he would do better with a whole country? Only the MORON REPUBLICANS. Kennedy was a one-term senator before being elected. Clinton is ONLY a junior senator, and being first lady is not presidential experience, you dillholes. Maybe all you rascist homophobes should go back to your home countries…Nazi Germany perhaps. Let's hope repugnantcants die off or kill themselves soon, because they are the ruin of America!
BARRACK WOULD FUCK HIS OWN MOTHER IF IT WOULD GET HIM ELECTED.
As was stated above you must read about the Negrito Puerto Ricans in America to understand the depth of their self-hate. To want to only identify with the white Spaniards even though they are Negritos, Puerto Ricans of African descent. To somehow want to be seen as special Blacks, divorced from American slavery although they are themselves the descendants of African slaves on Puerto Rico. A white person seeing a Negrito Puerto Rican would only think they were seeing a black person, nothing special as none of us are special in God's eyes, right.
AND OBVIOUSLY I'M NO "OBAMA GIRL"–MORE LIKE "OBAMA HURL MY LUNCH"
(OF HERBED TIGER PRAWNS ON A BED OF SAFFRON-INFUSED RICE, NATURALLY!)
who's more dangerous to this country, people spouting off hatred or Barrak Obama. Bush will have this country on its knees long before Obama will.
WHERE IS THE BUSH RANTS, THIS GUY HAS US AMERICANS AT EACH OTHERS THROATS. 8 MORE MONTHS OF DEATH AND RESECSSION. GAYS GO OUT AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS LIKE WE BLACKS DID. NOT ONE GAY PERSON WILL DIE FOR BEING GAY BY LEADING MARCHES, AS SOON AS THE WATER CANNONS COME OUT THEY WILL RUN, BLACKS STOOD UP AND DIED FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN. WHAT GAY RIGHTS LEADER HAS STUCK HIS HEAD OUT TO BE EXECUTED. BTW I AM PRO GAY, PRO CHOICE, PRO LIFE. LETS LIVE AND LET LIVE
