One of the more popular right-wing blogs in Germany is Politically Incorrect with about 25,000 daily visitors. It has the image of the American flag as part of its banner, and it proudly proclaims that it is "pro-amerikanisch" - pro-American. But if an American happens to be black with the name Barack Obama then the blog and its numerous commenters become very hostile indeed. In fact, "PI" -as it is commonly called - has become a forum for anti-Obama hate in Germany. Here we can read the misinformation about Senator Obama and his campaign in German that we find on racist blogs in the US such as Michelle Malkin and LittleGreenFootballs. In a typical PI post we learn that "Obama verachtet Amerika, er hat seinen Anti-Amerikanismus mit der Muttermilch aufgesogen." (Obama hates America, he suckled anti-Americanism at his mother's breast). It goes without saying that PI tells its readers that Obama is Muslim, who grew up in a mosque, and whose secret agenda is the Islamicization of America. Here is a typical comment on the blog (Senator Obama is usually identified as "Hussein"):
Na vielleicht wird sie täglich stolzer, wenn ihr Hussein die Islamisierung der USA vorantreibt, wenn er bald dem iranischen Mullahhitlerrregime in den Hintern kriecht, sich die USA aus den Terrorstatten verkriechen, auf dass dort die Koranschulen sprießen, wenn ihr Mann das bekannte Kenedy-Zitat in “Isch bin ein Mohammedaner” umgewandelt hat und Zuwanderung aus der bildungsfernen Unterschicht gepaart mit alten kommunistischen Ideen dem Land seine Identität rauben. (Maybe she (Michelle Obama) will be so proud when Hussein advances the Islamicization of the US, as he sucks up to the Hitler-Mullahs in Iran and takes the US out of the places that breed terror so that Koran schools can flourish, after her husband has changed the famous Kennedy quote to "Ich bin ein Mohammdeaner"and destroyed his country's identity by permitting the immigration of an uneducated underclass while implementing communism.)
Each day brings more hate-filled gems such as this. Incidentally, the blog and its numerous fans often call Obama and Muslims in general "Musel" or "Muselmänner" - an extremely derogatory term for Muslims, also used by the Nazis to mock the emaciated condition of prisoners in concentration camps.
A Green Party member of the Bundestag, Fritz Kuhn, recently responded to a question concerning PI by the blogger Dietmar Naeher (whose blog Politisch Korrekt I recommend):
vor dem Internet-Weblog "Politically Incorrect" kann aus meiner Sicht nur gewarnt werden, dieser Blog behauptet, proisraelisch und proamerikanisch zu sein und lehnt doch mit jedem neuen Beitrag genau die Werte ab, für die diese pluralistischen Demokratien stehen. Behauptet wird, angeblich unterdrückte Nachrichten über die Islamisierung Europas zu verbreiten, in Wahrheit wird Hass gegen alle Moslems geschürt. Dem Islam und allen Moslems wird unterstellt, nichts als Hass und Intoleranz zu verkörpern, dabei ist es dieser Blog, der nur aus Hass und Rassismus besteht und das perverserweise als Kampf gegen Intoleranz ausgibt. Der Blog versucht nichts anderes, als den Islam und die Muslime im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zu verteufeln. (I can only issue a strong warning concerning the blog Poliitically Incorrect. This blog claims to be pro-American and pro-Israeli but with each post rejects the values of these pluralistic democracies. They say that they are only publishing news about the Islamicization of Europe that supposedly has been suppressed, but in fact they are only spreading hate against all Muslims. They imply that Islam and all Muslims harbor only hate and intolerance, but it is in fact this blog that consists of nothing but hate and racism, even as it perversely presents itself as fighting against intolerance. The goal of this blog is nothing less than the demonization of Islam and Muslims.)
Will the owners of the blog Politically Incorrect remove the US flag from its banner once President Obama has moved into the White House?
The fact that the world is talking about: race, religion, politics, etc. is a positive thing. If you hate Obama because you believe he a muslim, does that mean Jews have the right to hate Germans or Blacks have the right to hate whites?
I would be interested in know what they teach their kids.

Anyone who celebrates the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans - as Malkin did in her book - is a racist. She compounded it in 2002 by calling for the internment of American Muslims.

Obama will flood this country with people from Kenya to try to keep like all other black politicians. If so many inner cities becoming mostly black & mainstream media is doing what they know upsets people & get's them fired up. The country is still mostly white & If you vote for Obama you better get ready for him to start flooding this country with people from Africa that will drain the economy. Why are whites being run out of inner cities when Blacks get into office. It' s not whites being so racist anymore it''s blacks. The rich in the USA will flee to Europe & get into other political systems & be anti USA If you start trying to play with Wall streets money & keep doctors from making the money they should. Obama will cause terroristic action in our on land from our own people. Man how stupid! America isn't ready to be changed there are to many that fought for this land southern whites that hate I mean hate that man & won't allow him to destroy this country. They are having to sit back while blacks are using race garbage cards instead of being thankful they are here instead of Africa that kills there own black people tens of thousands a day starving & shooting them. Obama will ruin this country. I myself get along with black people really good & allot of times find that they will help me when a white person wont. So in no way am against black people I just feel that there are really good blacks & really bad blacks just like there are whites. I see all the neighborhoods that were mostly white 5 years ago & now they are 98% black & the buinesses shut down & now the allot of the black people are really claiming they aren't racist because now you are seeing them say that Mexicans are taking over there neighborhoods. The owners of the store down the street from me are from Kenya these people are some of the nicest people I've met & really so much more thankful to be in this country than some of the blacks that have been here. The problem is Obama has an aunt from Kenya that illegal & he is going to start letting them come over here in large numbers & they are Muslim that come from terroristic backgrounds. You will say he's smarter than that, but since he is from there he thinks he can make peace with his people & there are to many of them tied to terrorist & it will put all of the USA it's not about white or black with these people because they are killing off there own black people, it's about power & money. I wouldn't have a problem if our inner cites weren't being flooded with other races except for white people. Obama is a better spoken person than Mccain & seams like he has faster, better answers for what the US needs. But he just doesn't have the experiance & he is to much of a risk. Snoop dog says vote because an African American could end up in the white house on a Tv commercial. These people are using to much racial comments against white people constantly on Tv & the radio. For you white people think this isn't about race then you have got rude awakening comming. White people are being forced to give up there European heritage by being forced out these inner cities when racist black mayors & govenors get into office. Because they start moving people of there own race into the city, & is it wrong for white people to want to protect our cities & tierd of us being the ones targeted with racial hate. White people are already starting to realize that America is being Hijacked by racist black people. If Obama wins then I have a major feeling white people will start forming extremest groups to take back there country. All these mixed schools that were white & black are becoming all black & the whites are being forced out by using the race card. These people KNOW when a black mayor comes in office they start turning the cities into racist black cities. Yeah you people want change, you will get change if Obama wins. These places like Russia wont support Obama because they will feel there children kids will think it's ok to date out of there race & that stuff doesn't set in good in places like Russia, Germany, Polland & also allot of the USA. Obama is seen as a discrace to other countries because he is of mixed race.

Now that I am 100% African (German engineering - I used to be 100% Northern European) I guess I can feel your hate.
