John McCain sat on the board of...the U.S. Council for World Freedom," said Begala, "The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League - the parent organization - which ADL said 'has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.
McCain Sat On Board Of Racist, Radical, Extremist, Group
"John McCain sat on the board of...the U.S. Council for World Freedom," said Begala, "The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization.

But McCain's involvement in the U.S. Council for World Freedom, which extended from 1981 through, possibly, 1986 is significant -- not merely because it ties him to unsavory characters but because it firmly associates him with a foreign policy that was, at the time and still, controversial.
"I didn't know that [McCain had] served on the board," said Shannon O'Neil
Douglas Dillon Fellow for Latin American Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. "It is a little bit surprising to me. But all of those organizations did come from the Republican side mostly. Often the people were tied to the military and they saw the world in black and white terms... My impression is [McCain] still sees the world in back and white."
Now I understand why John McCain can not look Obama into the eye and why he never hold or carry his little adopted colored Asian daughter!(LOL) And similarly, I have also noticed that Sarah Palin's husband never holds, carry, or touch their little special needs baby. Is it his baby or not? However, because I understand the nature of the conservative beast, I understand why most Aryan conservative republicans do not accept racial or mental imperfections. And why they ditch their wives when they get sick and/or old!
SO knowing the racial background and history of most conservative republicans I can not understand why Obama and his people are so polite and accommodating when it comes to these debates.
Mr Obama and his advisers agreed to an interview with the conservative bias ABC Network and its conservative reporters Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. He sat down for and interview with Katie Couric who believes that "sexism in more prevalent and accepted in America than racism?" Barack went into a racially hostile "saddle back," (more like broken back) environment for naught! Then he allowed the debate commission to schedule the first two presidential debates in racially conservative red states! How can Mr Obama and his advisers think that these hostile racial, social, and political stops will yield any political rewards for an Obama candidacy?
It is clear that Mr Obama do not understand the nature of this red, southern, and racially conservative political beast.
While the general Nashville urban area is a progressive and predominate Democrat area, Belmont is a majority Anglo and conservative campus. Tennessee State or even Vanderbilt would have been more diverse and representative of all of Nashville and progressive/liberal politics.
Most of the elite in Nashville , Belmont , and even in the Democrat Party are racial conservatives who allow local "hate radio" rejects to thrive and go unchallenged in playing every race card, terrorist card, religion (Muslim) card, etc to undermine, discredit, and destroy the Obama campaign! "These hate radio racist say "they say the things that the rest of Anglo Nashville wants to say." They call Mr Obama by "Osama" Obama. "These hate jocks say that Oprah only supports Obama because he is black," etc. Moreover, no one in the Democrat Party, Belmont, or in Nashville government ever challenge these hate radio racist. To the contrary, the local ABC affiliate, WKRN, allows one of these racist "hate radio" talk terrorist to pose as a political analyst , all while attacking Obama!
Most in America have moved forward toward racial harmony and acceptance, the era of conservatism: racially conservative, is all about keeping racial Status Quo and truing back the clock on racial gains and progress. Many of the faculty and students at Belmont and in Nashville ’s "hate radio" staff and audience are among those who still hold firm to the hate and racial tendencies of the past! While officials at Belmont, the students, local Democrats, and Nashville Officials allow the racial and political hate mongering at "hate radio" to go on daily, unchallenged.
Many Tennessee leaders, Republicans, and democrats like Al Gore, are only one decade or generation removed from the historic racism of a father or grandfather, so when I watch Democrats and those in position of authority and influence in Nashville and Tennessee allowing "hate radio" to go on air each day, uncontested, to spew out racial hate, half truths, and lies then nether Belmont nor such a demographic is worthy of hosting a national presidential debate!
I can guarantee that with conservative Tom Brokaw moderating and questions from ignorant red audience members, the question to Mr Obama will be subjective, bias, and ignorant repeats of old worn out questions.
For the first African American with a real chance to be president, these debates should have been held in racially neutral states and sites, not in a red campus or states.
