Dude, What? - Obama Related to Pitt, Clinton to Jolie

This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

He may be related to them, however look at the black dominate gene as compared to the white recesive gene.
Read the Isis papers.

Aren't we all related if we go back that far?

I think Obama is typical of most Americans. As a people many of us are products of our mixed ancestry. That's probably why we can see someone of a different race that has a remarkable resemblance to a family member or distant relative.

If more people knew their genealogy, then maybe the racism in the US would decline.

Or increase, we all know how relatives don't get along.

This is interesting. I placed a quote from the AFA about Obama somewhere in one of these many many nonsensical stories about him being related to everybody from Brad Pitt to Lassy and it has completely disappeared. Is Big Brother watching???

You are so typical of what is wrong in America. You had to somehow find a way to imply that Obama is an animal by stating he’s related to a dog.

People like you are destroying our nation. You can’t seem to contain you hateful prejudices and bigotry.

Hey tipical US citizen,

I would suggest to you that if you are a typical US citizen, it is you and the rrest of you typicals that are ruinning this country.

And now that it's ok to say things like Obama did about his grandma, You wrote your comment like a typical black person.

Rick op is right, you need a seditive. Or perhaps get your doctor to increase the one's you now take.

Whoa, I just noticed something.
Man, you are from California. That explains it.
The land of the lost.

Trust me, you folks out there are about as far removed from the "typical US citizen" as possible.

If you support someone that believes that Obama is related to a dog -- that says a lot about you.

You stated that I wrote my comment like a typical black person. Why do you believe only a black person would object to Obama being viewed as less than human -- related to a dog? Do you believe that all white people should share your opinion that Obama is related to a dog? What are you nuts?

People like you are a real problem in our society. It's people like you that takes the time to condemn Obama for saying his grandmother was a typical white woman when it came to her fear of black men and that she made comments that were racially offensive. Then you say it perfectly acceptable to say that Obama's related to a dog.

I won’t pretend to know your race but if you are white and were raised in the USA, you too have heard racially divisive comments made by some of your older family members. Just like blacks, Asian, Latinos and Native Americans, we all have heard racially divisive comments made by friends and family members.

But to state that Obama is related to a dog shows that you believe Obama and his family are less than human. That’s way below the belt.

In the pass two weeks there has been continues news stories about Obama's former pastor making statements that were racially divisive. Yet, even Wright never stated that any person was less than human. He never stated that whites or any other race were related to dogs. Yet you find the statement that Obama is related to dogs to be amusing, factitious.

You stated that you think I need a sedative. No – what I would like is to live in a nation where people are treated with respect no matter their race, ancestry, religion or gender. Hate speech is infectious and should always be challenged.

Plus, I like Obama….

Actually I was trying to correct a type-o. I missed the [pass] instead of past. When I'm typing a response I don't always check the spelling.

Good Lord, gimme a break. I would've said the same thing about Hillary or McCain if they were making a big deal about nothing like they are with Obama. I think you are far too bigoted yourself to understand a simple exaggeration. It looks to me like you'll try anything to pick a fight. If that's what you want, bring it on,'cause I'll eat your lunch.

John, I certainly don't and that's what I was trying to get across to people until typical US citizen insulted me. I got to thinking about it and that was about the grossest insult I've ever had thrown at me. To even suggest that I am a bigot is ludicrous. I have a niece who has at least as much African heritage as Obama. If it's OK to have a favorite niece, by Grab, she's it. I love that little girl with all my heart. And to even think that I am bigoted... well maybe I am a little. I cannot stand overly sensitive, knotheaded liberal idiots who try to put words in my mouth just to try to make a point that doesn't even exist except in their pointy little heads like yours, typical US citizen.

To, Probably not a typical US citizen,

You are seriously ill, pal.
I didn't compare Obama to a dog. Where in hell did you ever get that? And you go on this assinine rant about Obama - dog this and dog that?

earlpittsamurican wrote:

His comment was obviously concerning the disappearance of what he posted, and not Obama being a dog.

To most normal TYPICAL US citizens, it was pretty clear he wrote about Obama being related to eveything from Brad Pitt to Lassy - for EFFECT.

You may not agree but most of us think this is this is a very stupid topic to discuss. We have written back and forth in other threads about that very thing.

So earlpittsamuricans comments were to point out the folly of that which I just mentioned.
You liberal dunce.

But no, you with that typical US liberal crapola try to spin it to make it sound like someone really was calling your bud (B. Hussein Obama) a dog. GET REAL, YOU ASS.

Then John in commerce wrote:

Hey Mr. Typical liberal wacko citizen,
did you read that last quote?
"Who really gives a rats posterior how or if these idiots are related..."

THAT'S THE PIONT..........YOU DOE DOE.

It's a stupid subject to discuss....WHO CARES about "these idiots."

I would never agree to anyone saying Obama is a dog.
I would agree if someone said he is a liar, a deceiver, spiritually evil, anti-white, anti-American, anti-Jewish, a con artist, and the Senator with the most liberal voting record in Congress.

but I would not agree to the doggy thingy.
Now, go take a chill pill.

by the way, Typical "are you a" US citizen?,

When you wrote:
"It's people like you that takes the time to condemn Obama for saying his grandmother was a typical white woman when it came to her fear of black men and that she made comments that were racially offensive."

You are not too smart are you?

You seem to stick both feet in your mouth.

I take it you don't think his Grandmother's fear of black men is nothing else but pure racism and bigotry.

You might find it interesting to know that Jesse Jackson was asked about walking the streets of Washington DC after dark. His answer was, "When I did walk the streets and I heard footsteps walking behind me, I was actually relieved when I turned and saw it was a white man."

Oh yeah, before I forget, Bill Cosby said the same thing.

You are not a very worthy opponent.
You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.

Now, you're dismissed, go take your meds.
