All you low IQ Steelers fans would be shocked to learn what Judaism actually teaches jews like Myron Cope to believe about other races. They view all non-jews (goyim) as chattle to be used and abused whenever they wish. The occasional jew such as Cope may be able to cleverly ingratiate himself somehow into a blue-collar environment such as Pittsburgh but believe me that they always remain a slimeball jew no matter where they make their money. Cope and Cosell didn't go by their real jew names.

*** Vote NO Barack Hussien Obama. Do we really know who Barack Obama is? Obama may just be the Anti-Christ. Do you really want Obama as President, He does Not salute the flag, He Refuses to wear the American Flag. Barack's Pastor is Pro-Muslim. No wonder Obama did not reject the endorsment of a Muslim Extremist. VOTE NO OBAMA AND SAVE AMERICA!!!** VOTE HILLARY CLINTON 08 **** VOTO HILLARY CLINTON 08 **Hillary Clinton hears the People's Voice.Hillary Clinton Ella le oye. GOD BLESS!!!
