Does anyone in the Barack Obama support group care about, or read Raymond Coleman's negative comments?

Hello fellow Barack Obama Supporters,
Please answer the discussion question: Does anyone in the Barack Obama support group care about, or read Raymond Coleman's negative comments? I'm curious to know. Since this group was formed, he has left dozens of negative comments about Barack Obama & the Democratic party. (The sad part is, not all Obama supporters are Democrats)
Then he had the nerve to personally "attack" me when I asked him to leave the group. Was I wrong for asking him to leave? Do you think he should leave the group & post his negative comments elsewhere? Should he be allowed to stay, & post his negative comments on the Obama group? Please share your thoughts.
Have a Blessed Day!

I am sorry KaTrece that you were offended by his attacks, but the truth is you have to pick your battles. If you look at most of his comments, they are groundless/ useless. Don't waste your time engaging in conversations that you know provoke no intellecutal thought. What I am basically saying is, "IGNORE HIM."
Wow. How bout that is what I said below? But that is exactly what it sounded like. Please people I don't get as angry as Ray Coleman I use the complete form Raymond. So, we are not the same. It just means we are both crazy. I am of course less crazy. God Bless. Obama 08
Hello All,
WOW !! I don't know what all the scuff is about but based on what I have read Raymond though I understand your points and some I do agree with you can come off quite angry and hateful. Katreece I respect what your saying BUT you cant make this personal just rebuttle with facts and yes we all can agree to disagree. If you want to get biblical even Jesus and his disciples disagreed from time to time we are all still HUMAN. To argue is elusive to the point to debate is an oppotunity for all involved to learn and grow wether you agree with there standpoints or not. Raymond I cant tell u what to do nor am i going to try but your meager attacks on individuals Churches and their appearance only takes away from your character you seem quite intelligent and your outlook is different. Katreece you too bring a different outlook to the forum and I offer you the same advice I offered Raymond. So my question to Raymond is this are you going to support Senator Obama? If no may I ask why?
Hi Raymond,
Ok I apologize to you I thought you might have changed your mind. O.k again I understand where you are coming from and I am sure there are more well qualified African Americans out there. Let us not forget this is American politics and often it's not what you know it is who you know. Our current President is a living testimony to that. Now if anyone bothered to reserach Barack Obama you will find out that he did not start off wanting to be President but rather just to be Senator. He had a LOT of help in that department. It was the Democratic Party that sought him out and pursuaded him to run for office. I agree Barack needs a little more experience in a time like this we need a REALLY STRONG PRESIDENT that is truly for the people not their personal bank accounts or OIL. Raymond sometimes the oppotunity chooses you and I just think the time was right for Obama. In terms of his radical racist past could you elaborate further? Raymond for the record all the Presidents were one trick ponies at one time or another its politics all of it is smoke and mirrors. You just pick the lesser of two evils:)
Hi Raymond,
Yes I am aware of Barak's more than questionable association have you checked Palin and Maccain as well? They all suck if you ask me but again these are the leaders we are given to choose from so we have to choose...America is for America not Americans our democratic system is badly broken people in power forgot who put them there and they became for themselves and there own self gain. Once America gets back to being for the people and make decesions based on that we will all be in a better place HOPEFULLY I can live long enough to see it happen. Did you read the 700 billion dollar bail out bill? MY GOD!!! I am on page 45, the amount of earmarks and pork packed into this puppy is DISGUSTING what the hell is Washington doing? or not doing?
I do. I like Ray. And just like you got opinions he has them too. Remember, we are not 3 year olds.
Ray why you copying my stuff. I think the guy has substance. I am not voting for him based on that substance though. And you know most economist agree with his plans than McCain's whatever they are. I think his experience is relative. No first term president has ever been president. and barack is kinda smart too. I knew you were going to vote for him.

And be nice to these women you know they sensitive. Send them some flowers at www.mysweettravel.com sorry I'm a capitalist had to throw in a plug.
Katrece,

I got into a little back & forth with Raymond Coleman when he first started on the blackswampland website. Quite frankly, I can't figure out why he joined black swamp land. Every thing he says is anti-black, anti-Obama, anti-Democratic party. He has spewed on this website every Anglo-Judeo-White Christian Reight winged bigoted rhetoric filled comment that is currently popular in the media today. I suggested to him that the mainstream UF alumni website might be a better place for him to spew his garbage but he insists on trying to bait all of us into these types of arguments. Heck they might even ask him to leave. He has turned the intent of this website into his own personal battle-ground for his UNCLE TOM movement. Needless to say I don't think he has much support here even though a few people have joined his group "Black Political Conservatives." I even suggested that perhaps a better name for his group would have been "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Maybe he learned it in the military.

Having said that, I have seen his kind before. I personally have chosen to ignore him and you can't personally hold anything against him. I just wish he would not have tainted the entire website with his anti-Barack Obama political jargon. He'll probably respond to this with a long list of hate speech High-hitler rhetoric but you know and I know that God is Good. I see that he has frustrated you a little bit as he did me earlier in this website but don't sweat it, God is Good. To see how far blacks have come and to see how some Uncle Tom's can't wait to hate, probably doesn't sit well with you but God is Good.

I know he frustrates you but what he's going through is deep rooted in his spirit. I had a really good friend of mine take the route he's taking, talking about and voting for George W. Bush. Well I think Mr. Coleman needs to start a John McCain Support Group on the website and let who wants to listen to that garbage join. To join the Barack Obama Group and spew anti-Barack Obama jargon is very disingenuous. Not only is it disingenuous, it is dis-respectful. It is dis-respectful to this website, it is dis-respectful to Barack Obama, and it is dis-respectful to his fellow gator alumni.

He tried to hit me back with that "come with a better counter argument" garbage (as though he is smarter than somebody) but I had to put him in his place real quick. I may not have been the smartest alumni to ever attend the University of Florida but one thing is for sure, you have to wake up very early in the morning if you plan on out-smarting me in anything. Sorry for the tangent.

Anyway, don't worry about him. Keep up the good fight. God is Good.
Quite frankly, I'd rather not read it. I joined this group, instead of the Black Political Conservatives, because I wanted to communicate with like-mind individuals and show solidarity. Others that I know that are in this group have chosen not to read them. We may be more inclined to read and participate in the discussions if they were not full of Raymond's rhetoric. Sure, he is entitled to his opinion but why should our group be infested with such?

You asked my opinion and there it is.
I am glad that idiot is gone. I reported his comments as SPAM and abusive. I am glad that they finally banned him from the group. I know the best thing to do was to ignore him but he posts 2-3 pages of propoganda at a time making it hard to get to everyone else's stuff. What a butthole he was.
PLEASE CHECK OUT RAYMOND COLEMAN'S COMMENT TO ME AFTER JOHN MCCAIN LOST:

And how should one describe your childish behavior and remember I live in the Tampa Bay area where you live with roots that run deep and I invite you to repeat every personal attack you have so cowardly stated hiding behind your keyboard to me personally when we eventually meet. Do not interpret this as any kind of physical threat. I do not roll like that and you certainly are not worth the effort or consequences.

Your manhood and political acumen will however be put to the test in front of an audience where you will not have a keyboard to hide behind.

If you can say it here, you should have the courage to say it in person.

Hopefully you will one day grow up and behave in a more civil manner like some of the other posters who also disagreed with me have done.

Have a great day Greg.
SEQUEL TO JOHN MCCAIN'S & RAYMOND COLEMAN'S BITTER DEFEAT. CHECK OUT ANOTHER COMMENT FROM HIM TO ME. I DON'T THINK I DID ANYTHING TO HURT HIS REPUTATION, HE DID A GOOD JOB OF THAT ALL BY HIMSELF. THESE ARE HIS WORDS....................

libel

An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation , as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).

Please read the above definition very carefully Mr. Gainer.

You have been warned.
