I got an email this afternoon telling me about this new Obama campaign tactic.
How is this ok in America today?
How is this not racist? What do you supposed would happen if Romney announced a “White Americans for Romney”?
He’d be crucified yet it’s perfectly acceptable for Obama?
Please explain to me why this is ok for a black president but no white in this country could ever do this?

I can't help but troll. My family is Scottish and Sicilian. And you know how your people treated us. You should really feel awful about it.

Their keyboardist reminds me a bit of Rick Wakeman.
