A lot of right-wing blogs are abuzz with the news that there was a web page for the New Black Panther Party on Barack Obama’s website. Sam Graham-Felsen of the Obama campaign tried to weasel out of this one: he noted that it’s easy to create your own web page; over 700,000 people have. And this one, he said, was created without the knowledge of the Obama campaign, and was deleted as soon as they found it.
A likely story. I know that if I were running for President, I would employ whole legions of people whose job it was to scour the hundreds of thousands of blogs and accounts people put up on my website. It’s not like they would have anything better to do.
In any case, through a combination of intrepid sleuthing and, well, more intrepid sleuthing, I have found something that leaves Mr. Graham-Felsen’s pitiful excuse in tatters:
Another Panther endorsement on the Obama website!
Explain this away, Sam Graham-Felsen. If you can.
[UPDATE: Apparently, they do have people scouring their website fulltime. They’ve taken my post down, in about an hour. That was fast. Sorry, Obama campaign.]
(h/t Steve Benen. It took me about three minutes, and that’s only because I actually wrote some text.)
(PS: I am very tired of all this idiocy.)

Yes, but does his dog bite?
And has he a lisannse for his meunkey?
Pink Panthers…? Hmmmm, perhaps they was afeared you was TEH GAY.
I can see a resemblance. Big ears, lean, alert, serious gaze. Some color in the complexion. Sure.
Funny.
*snorgle* *gives you Easter cake*
Thank you, reading this brightened my day (the pink panther bit) =)
Speaking of endorsements, it’s no surprise that Richardson, like all the states that went for Obama, is insignificant.
the Pink Panthers ?
is that a working group formed of Code Pink and the Black Panthers – gay pacifist black power advocates ?
Surely this is a deceptively innocuous figurehead for the pink-pistoled lesbian terrorist gang that O’rlly warned American about!
I’m highly amused at P.Z. making the news this way, with Richard Dawkins, no less.
