GOP Rep Walks Back Birther Rant
British Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton is now a bonafied world champion. On Sunday Hamilton came in fifth place at the Brazilian Grand Prix securing the world champion title making the youngest to ever win it and the only Black man to ever hold the title."I thought, 'Do I have it?' They told me and I was ecstatic. I must thank God," Hamilton said after barely taking the fifth position."I'm speechless - that was so pretty close. You guys (his McLaren team) have done an amazing job all season. It's been such a long journey - all the sacrifices we've made, I'm so thrilled to do this for everyone. It was one of the toughest races of my life."
The win comes after a tough week of more racist taunts. After experiencing racist taunts from fans in Spain earlier this year, it appeared those fans weren't giving up. The racist taunts showed up online. A Spanish F1 racing fan launched the website, pinchalaruedadehamilton.com, which means "Burst Hamilton's Tires," and asked fans to virtually leave nails, pins and porcupines on the race track image on the Web site.
This site also asked fans to "Leave a Message for Lewis," which featured hundreds of racist and obscene comments directed toward Lewis. Formula One's governing body denounced the website telling a Brazilian news source that it stands firm against acts of "discrimination and prejudice."
The website was pulled after the Spanish branch of the New York-based ad agency, TWBA, who owned the server the site was on, started making headlines. The website grabbed attention just as Hamilton was preparing for the final race of the season in Brazil. Last year Hamilton lost the title by one point to Kimi Raikkonen.

When the republicans say that they hate big government it's because they don't want the states to have their decisions contested by the federal government. Whenever Blacks fought for anything it would be from the support of the federal gov't help that they would win because the states were ran by the people doing the dirt so republicans hate "BIG GOVERNMENT" or oversight. When schools were first integrated the Black students had to be protected by federal troops because state cops were in on the BullSht. That is the hate for BIG GOVERNMENT by republicans. When you hear conservatives “BIG SPENDING” democrats o liberals they hate social programs that are paid for by the government (programs for parolees Day care) needed to fix all they done to us. There are a few celebs with these views and yahoo and a site called "The Daily Standard listed them. These are people we support but have views that affect us in a bad way. Here are those celebs being listed because when they have $2300 to donate to republicans to when the White House and push agendas that hurt us it's like we are paying to hurt ourselves when we watch there shows on TV or in the movies and buy their music. I personally won't be doing that for any of them you can choose for yourself.
