African American protestors heckle Obama

African American protestors holding a banner reading "What about the black community Obama?" heckled Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama in Florida on Friday.

Three men stood up as Obama was talking about the economy during a townhall meeting in St Petersburg in Florida, a key battleground state in Obama's duel with Republican John McCain in November's election.

"What about the black community?" the protestors chanted, prompting Obama's crowd of supporters to chant his slogan "Yes We Can" to drown them out.

"Excuse me, young man, this is going to be a question and answer session, so you can ask a question later," Obama told the protestors.

"Sit down. You'll have a chance to ask your questions, but you don't want to disrupt the whole meeting. Just be courteous," he said, before going back to his prepared remarks.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I just saw the video for this on the news broadcast.  Did anyone catch the website on their banner?  It was funny... the network showed more of the campaign workers ripping the sign away from the people carrying it than the actual heckle.  The people carrying the banner were black while the campaign workers that ran to stop them were white.  The contrast was quite striking.

It will be very entertaining to watch Obama tiptoe through the tulips. He likes the race card played when he's playing it. What goes around, comes around bro.  :-)

You don't suppose the heckler would be one of those fake, cheap Chinese, lead based, CNN hecklers planted to make Obama look good by hitting one out of the park so to speak?

Be ready for the DU to say so.  That will be their spin.
