Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama
SEAActionFund writes "Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist who also happens to be credited with co-founding the Internet, submitted a video to our AVoteforScience YouTube challenge. In it he discusses the importance of net neutrality and endorses Barack Obama specifically because he supports net neutrality (John McCain does not.)
The AVoteForScience challenge calls upon scientists to upload videos to YouTube explaining who they are voting for and why. The first two videos were by Cerf and the 2008 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Marty Chalfie. Any Slashdotters game for explaining who they are voting for and why?" Still waiting for one of the campaigns to ask for my endorsement, which is totally available to whichever campaign offers me the better cabinet seat.

Looks like smart people are going for Obama, shocking.
Well he is, after all, the chosen one.
You'll have that sometimes...
Wow op was considered insightful. Should we get to obama's only real qualifications? Lets see he is great at running for office. Not that he has ever spent any time there. He is eligible for preference under affirmative action. That pretty much sums him up. Oh and he's clean and articulate too...
No scientist should vote for a man who puts a creationist (ie Palin) as his second in command.
My web domain.
> You are pathetic.
I notice that you didn't care to dispute anything I wrote. Neither did anyone else. So let me be even more blunt:
Have you bothered to do even the most elementary research on the teachings of Black Liberation Theology?
Do you agree with Black Liberation Theology?
Do you dispute that BHO sat in a 'church' based on Dr. Cone's BLT for twenty years, considered Wright and Phlager to be mentors and titled his 'autobiography'[1] based on a sermon by Wright that was overtly racist?
Do you believe Mr. Obama first met William Ayers in 1995?
Do you actually believe that Mr. Obama didn't know Ayers was a radical? Until the last few months it appeared to be impossible to get Ayers to stop talking about his past to the media. Is it reasonable to believe that neither Ayers nor anyone else close to Mr. Obama told him about Ayers past life as a fugitive? No press clippings on the office walls? No copy of his wife's FBI Most Wanted poster as a treasured relic?
Do you believe Mr. Ayers, who wrote the grant proposal for the CAC would have permitted an unknown person to gain control over the biggest chunk of cash Ayers was ever likely to get his grubby communist hands on? (Note, Ayers described himself as a 'small c communist'.)
Do you believe Mr. Obama could have such extensive ties to ACORN and not know the sort of old retread ex SDS radicals that ran the place? He was hired by precisely such a person as a train the trainers teacher to teach the Alinsky methods of 'community organizing'[2]. Do you actually believe he didn't know that ACORN basically did three things; street theatre, election fraud and subprime mortgages? Mr. Obama lead Project Vote[3] in IL for a time. Election fraud was his JOB description.
And finally, a question I have neen asking Obama supports all year and never get an answer to:
Most candidates for POTUS have done something noteworthy, something to stand out from the run of the mill political type. Name ONE major accomplishment for Senator Obama that recommends him to high office. Hint: getting elected to the Senate against Alan Keyes doesn't count, I could do that and so could you. HIs whole pitch is he is going to totally change everything. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show me.
[1] There is serious doubt as to whether there was a ghostwriter involved. Nothing Sen. Obama was written since exhibits the quality and/or writing style of his first writing effort.
[2] Community Organizer in the Alinsky school of thought isn't some nice little old lady working a soup kitchen at a homeless shelter. Communist street agitator is closer to the mark.
[3] Project Vote was a wholly owned part of ACORN. Radicals love to create dozens of front groups to keep the ordinary folk from connecting the dots.
