Not seeing it in that link - that just goes to a discussion of what race Obama is (and not a very good one, either).

Who cares? With Obama’s Marxist policies in place, it won’t last for long.

For their color scheme they should be burned at the stake after being forced to read War and Peace on their own website.

Anyways, I would think that seeing who is linking here should be fairly simple. Trivially so for the admins who can see where the links are coming from and still easy for anyone with a google in his computer.

Unless the OP did just that and that was the only hit he got, in which case this is actually very depressing.
