It has become very difficult to get away with it due to surveillance. It did NOT change because the racists changed their ways. The recent Sol Campbell and Adebayor abuse is racism disguised as "passion" or "banter" aided and abetted by the media as my blog has highlighted.

]]> Comment on Obama’s first 100 days (or so) by Laura http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/obamas-first-100-days-or-so/#comment-68 Laura Mon, 04 May 2009 03:57:20 +0000 http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/?p=213#comment-68 Wow. That's sure an interesting point of view, I guess. You do of course remember that Bush kissed King Abdullah. You do of course remember that Obama said, "I'll be damned if I'm gonna kiss the sonofab!tch". The gifts and the flyover were dumb, but compared to the last eight years of incompetence, I'm not ready to give up on Obama just yet. Wow. That’s sure an interesting point of view, I guess.

I mean, yes...his speech was amazing, I agree with you completely. But, I'm not so sure how much he's actually been following through thus far. It seems that a lot of his policy's choices have been rather erratic and scattered. Thoughts? Good blog by the way... Just curious, how do you think he’s doing?

]]> Comment on English football “fans” need to get over themselves by commonsmith http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/2008/12/14/english-football-fans-need-to-get-over-themselves/#comment-60 commonsmith Mon, 15 Dec 2008 05:20:44 +0000 http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/?p=175#comment-60 Football and banter are inseperable and important part of the fan thing. Obviously racism is not banter and should be severely punished, but booing, chants, shouting fucking idiot when your left back gives the ball away are all part of the game and nothing wrong with it imo - thats how you get such an electric atmosphere. When fans shout stuff its because they are fans - fanatics - and they live every kick of the football. Shouting insults is part of that - but they should be generic and racism is obviously totally unnaceptable Football and banter are inseperable and important part of the fan thing.

He hasn't drawn breath, but plunged right in. I especially loved that he qucikly squashed Bush's Halloween sneaky surprises; stating clearly he was going to overturn them if they was wrong, without Congress or anybody's by your leave. Yes! Folks forget that Clinton spent weeks partying after he won, didn't get his cabinet together until December and then had one of the worse transitions in history. I think we have evey reason to be hopeful. Meanwhile, how you doing? I hope you don't hold my humor against me? sometimes I forget that this screen don't convey as well as looking right at you. I mean well. Take care. Love, LuRain x Hi Sam,

]]> Comment on Voodoo Economics by lurainpenny http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/voodoo-economics/#comment-50 lurainpenny Sun, 02 Nov 2008 05:53:35 +0000 http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/?p=154#comment-50 Hi Sam, I was listening to the PBS in the car the other day. A McCain spokesmouth said that 'sharing the wealth' was like stiffing the waitress to tip a homeless man. I was flabbergasted. Why is it always us or the other? It is going to take your generation to dismantle the box. I say, time we skipped dessert, so we can leave the waitress what she deserves and still have a few pennies for the needy. All a matter of choice. Change of heart cannot be legislated. It takes change of mind. In a few days, we'll know whether this country has what it takes to start anew. Heaven help us from those who will, undoubtedly, try to put an end to our emergence. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration. Love, LuRain x Hi Sam,

]]> Comment on How McCain and Palin could win by ianheath653 http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/how-mccain-and-palin-could-win/#comment-48 ianheath653 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 23:14:15 +0000 http://samhaydenjr.wordpress.com/?p=148#comment-48 If Palin got the same reaction from Penguins fans, I'd rest a bit easier. Southeastern PA is pretty much solid Obama country; it's the western part of the state that worries me more. If Palin got the same reaction from Penguins fans, I’d rest a bit easier.
