Protesters holding posters saying Sen. Barack Obama was endorsed by the KKK are escorted from his speech

(CNN) — Barack Obama's campaign rally in Coral Gables, Florida Friday was interrupted by a group of about 10 African-American protesters holding signs that called themselves, "Blacks Against Obama."

The signs said Obama was for gay marriage and abortion, and said his candidacy was "endorsed by the KKK." Another sign said, "Jesse Jackson hates Obama."

Obama originally said the protesters could stay inside the event, but they were escorted out when they would not stop shouting.

About ten protesters holding up signs that were wrong. To bad they don't read or watch TV, but rather accepted the $20.00 the McCain Campaign gave them to do this.

By the way CNN, you show an outright lie about Obama, but where is your coverage of KEATING FIVE?

Rick   September 19th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

These posted comments just prove once again what democrats really think of African-Americans:

"Uncle-Toms"
"Idiots"
"Pathetic hateful homeless sycophants"

I don't understand why African-Americans keep letting democrats take them for granted and use them for their own political gain.

Scott M   September 19th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

I don't know if most of the posters here, who are obviously far left, are more paranoid, shrill or fascist. When it comes to Palin or McCain, shouting them out is admirable, but if some wackos do it to Obama, there is obviously a sinister GOP plot afloat. Pathetic.

Linda   September 19th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Wow!!! Now this is news. AA actually protesting against "The One". I bet Oprah will kick them all out of her book club.

Maybe he can get Rev. Wright to save them like he did the Obama's.
But if I were those protestors, I'd be careful…remember Obama could get his friend Rezko (the criminal) or his friend Bill Ayers (the terriorist) to hurt them. They better be careful.

I bet all the Obamabots will blame McCain for them. Well seeing how this morning on Morning Joe it was reported by the Obama camp that the McCain camp hasn't done anything to reach out to AA. So they did this all by themselves. Their kool-aid didn't have the stuff in it I guess.

Please print this CNN…I know you are all in it for Obama but fair is fair. There are two opinions to each story. Be fair!

I'm African American an Independent voter for Obama and just want to say people have the right to freedom of speech ,but it was very disrespectful for these guys to interrupt a Women's Equality and Issues rally for these absurd lies they have made up. I smell a Jessie Jackson rat.

REG in AZ   September 19th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

If someone’s strong bias, prejudice or emotional attachment just makes it impossible for them to vote for Obama-Biden, then that is a real shame but maybe it just can’t be overcome. Even recognizing that John McCain is really out of touch with the people and with the problems and literally, like George W Bush, is focused on Special Interests and continuing policies that have and are failing all Americans; even recognizing that Sarah Palin could become president, if McCain-Palin were elected, and seeing that she is self-focused, extreme, bazaar, arrogant, aggressive and incapable; and even noting that they both are literally dishonest saying anything and everything they think will get them what they want, even to often copying whatever Obama says; even if someone’s conscience identifies all of those things and yet they still need to rationalize that Obama and Biden have faults too and they then try to build that into something more meaningful; then maybe the only rational and conscience driven thing for them to do is just not vote. The Bush-Cheney administration has left America with a whole lot that we desperately need to recover from and it actually has become more and more obvious that a McCain-Palin administration would very possibly be even worse. We, America, just can’t take that! If anyone does recognize the truth but still can’t overcome their resistance, for whatever reason, and just can’t vote for Obama-Biden, then they should follow their conscience and just not vote. That would be more responsible.

Biff Biffington RETURNS...   September 19th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

funny, when protesters at republican events speak up, it is usually about an ISSUE…. (IRAQ, GLOBAL WARMING.. BUT 'ONE' ISSUE)

THIS WAS A MISH-MOSH OF … 'STUFF…. KKK, JESSE JACKSON… GAY MARRIAGE…. HUH???

I WOULD BET MY LIFE IT WAS A COORDINATED REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICK !!!

Phoney protestors. Obama endorsed by the 'KKK?' A new one. But at least is goes to show that blacks don't all think the same way, which is a good thing for republicans to consider.

James   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

he is for gay marriage and abortion rights…so he wants to kill cute tiny babies…what's new.

also, I like how when I write negative things about him…they never get posted….CNN BUSTED!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF IGNORANT PEOPLE. THE KKK ORGANIZATION LOVES YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE DOING THEIR RACISTS WORK FOR THEM!!! UNBELIEVABLE.

WOMEN AREN'T ABOUT TO LET YOU RUIN OUR FOCUS AND OUR DETERMINATION ON ELECTING SEN. BARRACK OBAMA. IF THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE THEN YOU'VE REALLY UNDERSTATED THE "POWER OF THE WOMEN", YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT.

IT'S PROTESTORS LIKE YOU, THAT WILL SEAL THE FATE OF THE McCAIN-PALIN TICKET.

Bettie   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

The young people who were "protestors" were not there of their own volition. I believe that they received some type of renumeration to go to the rally. I also believe that their goal was to totally disrupt the rally - which of course did not happen, only because truth has a history of prevailing. There is not a single black person in the world who would be supported by KKK, as indicated by one of the "homemade" signs. That in itself tells the story. No Black person would ever attend anything making that kind of claim - history belies the claim of that sign. Also another sign siad that Rev. Jackson hates obama, that to is not true (Rev. Jackson has said as much himself). I urge that all who are investigating will not only find out who these young people are, to not only find out who made the "homemade" signs, but find out who paid them to do this… Also, I think it is an insult to the intelligence of America to attempt to use young people for ulterior motives which are far from positive.

Steve   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Nada points out that they must be part of the 5% of AAs that will not support Obama. And all the white politicians now saying that race IS a factor and lots of people will not vote for Obama because he's black. What about the MANY AAs that are ONLY voting for Obama because he is black?! If McCain had support from 95% of the whites in America, we would never hear the end of how RACIST America is! Obama and his racist followers have no chance to win this election.

David   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Wah, wah, wah. The Dem nutjobs on these blogs had no problem when Palin was heckled but when the all mighty Obama gets heckled the tears and insults just come pouring out. So much for the tolerance that the Dems love so much, LOL.

African American 4 Obama   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Some African Americans and its a very small minority of them feel that he has not done or has not said anything about helping the African American community and that he will turn his back on them to prove that he is not favoring them. They do need to realize he is not running for President of the African American community. He is running for President of the United States and there are a mix of people here. He represents everyone not just African Americans. And yes there are some very conservative African Americans as well.

Arcy   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

As a member of the American-African community (I'm American FIRST), I can tell you that there are quite a number of us who believe Barak needs to get a little more experience in world affairs before he is ready to lead our country. We do have a serious problem with his acceptance of homosexuality as well. This will continue to haunt him on the campaign trail.

Barbara   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

You know this thing happens all the time, that shows that as Americans we have different point of views. I make my point, "Americans" not robots with the same view on life. It was nice to see that Obama just laughed it off and asked the people to stay if they would stop yelling, but some people can just be rude and just ruin things like this for both sides Republicans and Democrats rallies. IF you want Change vote for Obama. IF you want the same old Policies vote for McCain. But I don't think I want my family living under the same old Policies that we have had for t he past 8 years. We as Americans can't afford it.

Cricket   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

McCain has protesters removed, Obama allows them to stay-shows very good understanding and patience, traits McCain certainly doesn't possess.

Can't understand why folks aren't calling for Palin to allow the investigation in the "Troopergate Mess". If there's nothing to hide why not clear the entire mess up?? I certainly would never vote for someone with something hanging over their head.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Khaalis   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Just Sad…

When Obama wins states with 95% Blacks, I always wonder why didn’t the other 5% vote for him. These must be those folks!

What did McCain, Barr, Nader, and McKinney plan out for Blacks?

So why is a small group (.00000000001%of Blacks) against a man who Championed inner city more than any other candidate?

Puzzling

Quinn - Houston, Texas   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

They think Obama is working with the KKK? Is this a skit from the Dave Chapelle show or something?

Those people are as ignorant as they come.

This is the second time they have protested at a Florida rally.

I wish they would get a life.

Ms Gunn   September 19th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Thank God, It was only 10 of them.

Because, everyone That I know, Is voting For Obama. Im Black, and we can see the light.

I want to know, do these Black republicans have money falling out of their pockets, and if so, WHY couldn't they buy better signs? and Don't t hey know that John Mccain is R*acist? Is this deja va of The south VS the North?

Tainopower   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Looks like all 90% of the black vote is not going to obama. and if it does its racist. To all my Latino brothers don’t fall for obamas lies. we are going to be sorry if he wins the presidency. It will turn this country in to a socialist one .the reason why we come to this country is its freedom.

Lynn:60 yr old Obama supporter   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

This race card is firther fueled by McCain's latest false ad about former Fanny Mae employee as an Obama advisors which Raines and the Obama campaign have categorically denied.

Funny they chose a black person rather than the white Johnson who immediately resigned from Obama's VP vetting team when it was obvious he could harm Obama's campaign.

Also the selection of an elderly white woman as the "victim" was the one McCain decided to use.

American voters need to raises above the lies and false fear promoted by the McCain campaign and put "Country First" and vote on the issues!!

Young voters who have risen above this racial history and get out to vote and take their country back!!

Brandon for Obama   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Pure tomfoolery.

I can understand being against a candidate, but no need to do it on the means of your race. I'm not a black against McCain…I just don't agree with the direction he wants to take America in.

But, to contradict myself…I do think WASP (women against Sarah Palin) is sort of funny. So I guess if that's what they think…let him think that. I think it will go to show some people who think that black supporters of Obama only support him because he's black.

Lady Jaye   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

You protesters need to get a grip. This is America and we have the right to choose what ever life style we desire. No one is telling you how to live your life what give you the right th try and control someone else. No man is going to tell me what to do with my body I don't agree with abortions and I will never have one but this is my choice and I can't tell you what to do with your body. If my choice of a life partner is not hurting you then stay out of my business.

Northwood   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

They have every right to protest…there were more than "about 10″. Nothing they said was not true, just their point of view..I find it interesting that some people are saying they can't believe "black people are protesting Obama"..To me that is a sign that many of us, regardless of color do not see eye to eye with Obama. I for one agree with Obama on social issues, but not on the economy. This is a tough decision for many and has nothing to do with race. Obama has not been clear, has not been vetted, and many do not think he is prepared to live of to his own hype.

Andy - Atlanta, GA   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Looks to me like the same person wrote those 10 signs, & took 10 homeless ppl off the streets (bought them some clothes - notice how they're all dressed pretty much the same) & paid them a few bucks.

C'mon republicans, if you're gonna do this, atleast mix in a few white folks, & use different colored markers on the signs so it's less obvious. Oh, & come up with better lines than "endorsed by the KKK", Americans (especially African-Americans) are not that stupid.

Our economy is suffering and THIS is what is important??? Obama needs to make sure education is one of his top priorities, especially in Coral Gables, Florida, when he becomes President.

I'm amazed this was actually reported? You mean to tell me that not every single african american and not every single woman who consideres themselves a feminist aren't for Obama? Imagine the audacity of not voting directly in line with what every other person who looks like you votes. We need to supress such individuality and free thinking.

Paizley   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

hmmm…I woonder when it was reported that some protesters got thrown out of the McCain-Palin speech the other day were they decribed as "white protesters" or just protesters. Why does the race matter so much this time? Someone please enlighten me……

Laura, Boston   September 19th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

You people are so cynical….they speak out in protest so they had to be hired by the McCain campaign.

If that's the case then I guess Obama's campaign hired people just the other day when they were speaking out while Palin was speaking. Right?

Whether Dem or Rep….let's be grown-up about things. It's stupid and gets us nowhere on issues and things that matter.

Now I recognize them for the intolerant, hateful, hypocritical creatures they really are.

Where is the coverage of Joe Biden? I would like to see him at least 1/2 as much as I see the Hockey Mom in Lipstick. I would got to a hockey game, if I wanted to see one, but I am focused on something much bigger occurring on 11 4 08. Remember it is called Election Day. Show me the real pitbull, Joe Biden. He is in Sterling, VA today, right now in fact.

Cover the VP that is pro-choice, pro-woman, pro-USA (not the one who has a spouse who is seeking independence from her) and who is also sending a child to fight in the IRAQ war!!! I am sick of seeing Palin read someone else's note cards. What happened to your coverage of the Anti-Palin rally that took place in Alaska upon her return. Save your partisan behavior for your vote, when it is your choice. It is not my choice to be fed your views with your partisan coverage.

Molly in MPLS   September 19th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

I was completely impressed while watching this on CNN. He said they could hold up their signs, but asked that they "settle down." I thought it was the perfect tone to say, I respect your right to have an opinion. This is so much better than having signs ripped from your hands and being forceably removed — as what has happened at the RNC and just the other day at a republican rally.

J from DC   September 19th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

McCain claims he would fire Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Committee. Yet, McCain won’t even fired his economic advisor is Phil Gramm.

There's billions of people in this world, are we expected to steer clear of him because of that one man who's presidential bid failed miserably?

Clearly his reason to be against Obama stems from his own jealousy.

Concerned Voter   September 19th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

That's plain sad….the protestors should be really be ashamed of themselves. This sounds like it was staged by the Republicans. I wonder how much the 10 protestors got paid? And as an African American, I have never been fond of Jesse Jackson…he can take his rhyming irrelevance elsewhere to the highest bidder. Americans want change…and Barack Obama is the man who will deliver that change. Although Jesse Jackson wanted to be the first black president…HE WON'T and THANK GOD FOR THAT. BARACK OBAMA WILL BE!!!!

lsdoylejr72   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Come on CNN! I know you consistently try to paint Obama in a much better light than reality thus continually you distort the truth. How could there have been only "10″ protestors? Your picture on this very article alone shows 13 signs! Quite lying for Obama. You guys are so incredibly out of touch with the average American. People flock to Fox for a reason!

al in memphis   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Obama handled it the right way by telling them it was okay to display their signs, but he wanted to get on with speaking to people in audience. A dignified way to deal with people who differ with your opinions — A president for the citizens who don't agree with all of his approaches.

As a constitutional law professor, Obama understands letting Americans have their rights to free speech, even if the points are misguided.

Obama/Biden '08
iSi se puede!

Oh Boy!!!???   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I just saw this on TV and the protesters were obvious plants. Nobody goes that quietly in single file unless they really thought they had accomplished their goal.

If disruption was their goal, success. Bringing a topic to the people's attention? Jesse Jackson's approval? Endorsed by the KKK?

Ok, sure, way to go guys. Pick up your checks and go.

I'm J. McCain, and I support those posters that I wrote
(notice all posters appear to have been written by one person)

Della   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

This is sickening. How stupid can these people be? As an African-American I am ashamed, but I am not surprised. We, as African-Americans are our worst enemies. When one of us rises to fame, there is always one of us, brother or sister, to bring us down. Get over yourselves. Fortunately, these people are a minority.

Strong obama supporter   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

This protest has GOP written all over it. They're were also paid under the table to do this too.

Obama 2008

A black male who wants Obama to lead the nation, not specific groups   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Sorry protestors, Obama is not going for President of Black people or straight people or whatever. He is going to be the President of the UNITED states. He was NOT endorsed by the KKK — that is an internet rumor. Jesse Jackson hating Obama is a bit of a strech — more like jealousy or envy. Anyway, go vote for McCain if you think he is a better choice. This is a free country where you can vote for whoever you want in the Presidential election.n You think he has your best interest at heart? If so, you are all more foolish than I thought. I am happy they threw you out of the rally. You are divisive and foolish people.

Some honor   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I'm not going to make a comment that attacks either candidate or supports what these protesters stood for, but I will say it was honorable for him to stay they could stay at the event. He was very willing to let them be present and was understanding to their opinion, as long as they allowed him to speak also.

That's honorable. I do feel the GOP would have just tried to rip down their signs, chant something over them, and they would have been taking out of the event without McCain trying to recognize they were even there.

Brandon - Gahanna, Ohio   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

#1 - this isn't worth reporting
#2 - I wouldn't be surprised with as much scandal & corruption that is currently going around in the McSame and "Above The Law" Palin campaign, if these weren't paid off actors.
#3 - Obama/Biden 08.

Barbara Campbell   September 19th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

One more distraction from the implosion of the McCain/Palin campaign.

Now we learn that Palin may not have paid taxes on some of her income. The McCain camp will block the release of Palin's tax returns just as they're blocking the investigation by the Alaska legislature. Not only does Palin engage in secrecy and cronyism (just like the Bush administration), she refuses to acknowledge there is a balance of powers that includes the legislative branch (like the Bush administration). In addition to soaking the state of Alaska for per diem payments while she was at home and travel expenses for her family, it appears that she's also a tax evader.

Some african american still feel left out. This group is just plain ignorant. Because there are other ways to get you point and message out….

Joaquin in Illinois   September 19th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

You can always find someone to do something stupid. Note the signs all look to be in the same scrawled letters. Probably some poor homeless men that someone paid to go and make a scene.
I'll bet Obama handled this with grace. Why not say so.

Greg, Indiana   September 19th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

This is America! If people are allowed to interrupt McCain and Palin, then these people are allowed to interrupt your human God (Obama) as well.

Do you guys realize that Obama is running just as nasty a campaign as McCain? But - the nastiest of all is us - those who leave our comments on this blog!

Interesting. Obama let the protesters stay and be heard. They were only removed when they refused to let other people be heard.

McCain, you should take your ques from Obama on free speech?

And white people protested McCain. So is this really news? I mean come on.

"Jesse Jackson hates Obama."? I can't think of a better endorsement. If that's true, he's got my vote.

Shari, NY   September 19th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Yes, there are black Republicans who revere Abe Lincoln, the Republican who fought against slavery. As to Jesse Jackson - he will never live this down if Obama is nixed. People need to realize that Obama is running for President of ALL not President of ONE RACE.

DaProfessor   September 19th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Interesting!!!
Were these African American protesters interrupting the Obama speech "slaves" paid by the Mc Cain - Palin right wing extremists?

It is fascinating to watch what the McCain - Mc Bush folks are willing to do to lie themselves into office.

Los Angeles, Hispanic Conservative   September 19th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

I think all people of all races are starting to see how Obama changes his speech depending on who he is around… Sure he is a good politician (color aside), but we want someone (dont care about race), who will be straight up honest. Obama has taken millions of $$ fm fannie & freddie (the 2nd person next to cobbs). He was part of this fin. mess, we are now in! I really hope more people will open their eyes. And to lie to the latin community about Rush = Mc Cain,,, does he think latin peopl are not intelligent? Mc Cain has never agreed with Rush's view's on immigration.

Who cares says the Black Woman?   September 19th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

OK so what is their platform? Just that they're black and don't like Barack? Who cares! If they had an issue to stand on, it would be respected, but this is just plain stupid!

sammy   September 19th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

It's kind of odd that 10 BLACK guys in Miami FL, would protest against Obama. Doesnt make sense. Whats funny is that James Baker in the 2004 Elections actually Hired protesters in Florida to stand in the street against AL Gore. It's so transparent and clearly obvious that is the work of republicans

This looks more like the right-wing repubs trying to spread the most vicious lies in order to win this election. Shame on you!

Wonder how much they were paid by the GOP seeing McSame has been bombarded in the past few weeks with protesters. What better distraction than to pay 10 African American's to go protest….

CNN why don't you report on the protesters at McCain's rallys? I guess there wasn't enough juicy negative comments like…"KKK", "Jesse Jackson hates Obama", "Blacks Against Obama"……

The GOP doesn't need to bring RACE to the forefront when CNN is making RACE an issue….

Biff Biffington RETURNS...   September 19th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

I WOULD BET MY LIFE IT WAS A COORDINATED REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICK !!!

PUMA-PAC - Murphy   September 19th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

It's too bad, he even let them stay so they could hold up the signs but they had to go and shout. Remember, your freedom of speech only goes so far as to NOT impede / stop someone elses freedom. He has the right to speak without them shouting and covering up his free speech. They have signs, why isn't that enough for them? How foolish…

jm for sc   September 19th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Now, I wonder who paid them to do that? Are they demonstrating because McCain was interupted so many times on the trail? Obama has consistantly say he do not believe in gay marriages and he is not an advocate for abortion. However,he believes as most Americans do that people have a right to make their own choices.

God gives each of us the right to choose. I am a democrat who do not believe in gay marriages or abortion so I will not participate in any of those things. There is much more problems with this country than gay marriages and abortion.

Inexplicably strange. I don't know how to comment on this. I'll try. There are many African Americans that are against gay marriage and abortion. No real news here. But has the KKK really endorsed Obama? Is that a serious accusation?

Jesse Jackson hates Obama? My guess is that there may be a bruised ego on the part of Jackson for his own personal reasons, but I don't think that he hates BO.

And… I really can't stand the hecklers and protesters of all stripes. There is a proper forum for venting political opinions - and screaming insults while the Prez candidates and VP candidates are delivering their addresses is not acceptable political discourse.

You would think that folks would get their facts straight before making posters and heading off to make fools of themselves. Obama is not for gay marriage, and their is a difference between being pro-choice and pro-abortion. And endorsed by the KKK??? Hahahaha. That's hilarious. That story was written as a joke in a British satirical newspaper.

Give me a break. These people should have done a little research before making themselves look stuipd on national television.

Jordan Whicker   September 19th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Quick, someone mobilize the "White People Against McCain" organization!

Matt   September 19th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Is this planet Earth? I mean really. We all know that there is such a thing as black Republicans. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and beliefs. But "Obama's campaign is endorsed by the KKK"???? Ludicrous. Madness. Sickening. I'd laugh if it wasn't so utterly disgusting.

As we know, Rove and the republicans have adopted Hitler's strategies for misinforming and manipulating the public. But c'mon, Hitler said to "tell the Big Lie" and keep repeating it so everyone believes it…he didn't say "make something up so crazy that you sound like a schizophrenic on LSD."

Tired of the Lies   September 19th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Proof positive that idiocy knows no racial boundaries.

My favorite was the sign stating the KKK would rather have a black man in the highest office in the nation than the poster-boy for the priveledged white man, McCain.
