He's holding an event at my university, and it's $15 to go (yeah, easy way to increase # of donors and donations)...

So how should I play it?

Hand out slim-jims outside? Wear RP gear or not? Pay $15 just for the sake of hearing him speak in person?

Oh, and some relevant information: my university is about 98% black, while I am not...so let's just say that I probably need to err seriously on the side of subtlety.

I have not found very open minds on my campus, nor many who would appreciate an open, civil, direct exchange of ideas....

but come on, I gotta do something....so give me some thoughts.

Just buy a bottle of alcohol and get drunk tonight. That's what I'd do.

Yeah go, get the mic, and ask him why he skipped out on two really important votes recently.

1 - regarding Iran
2- regarding increasing the debt ceiling of the U.S.

Ask him if skipping on important votes shows good leadership or did he do it because he avoids difficult decisions.

I called his senate office a few weeks ago and ranted about this, they told me they were getting lots of calls about it, but no posted response yet AFAIK

Ask him a question out loud why he promised the racist organization "la Raza" that he would give Amnesty to 20+million illegal immigrants even though these same illegals drive wages down (big corps), and have always supplanted the income and upward mobility of black americans.... so in effect, his very policy of pandering is actually detrimental to black americans.

The best way to counter racebaiting (which is what his whole candidacy depends on) is to stare it in the face and mock it.

Stand on a sidewalk on top of a sign that says "Don't taze me bro" and hand out slim jims while dressed all in black.

Go in dressed regullary...then ask him "How do you explain the fact, that Ron Paul, a republican is more willing to remove the troops from Iraq than you?"

Are there any anti-war groups on campus?

Contact them and ask whether they will be protesting his attendance. If they won't, be ready to share with them the facts about why they should.

We can't trust Obama to take all the troops out of Iraq as soon as possible.

We can't trust Obama to not using a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran.

We can't trust Obama to stop the march to war with Iran.
