Obama Spiritual Mentor: God Damn America

These are from his book.
Doesn’t look like he likes to say anything about his white side.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school”
“I studied the Koran..”
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam ....”I looked to Lolo for guidance”.
From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
From The Audacity Of Hope, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”
From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
From Dreams Of My Father, “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..”.
From Dreams Of My Father:
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Derek, stop, man, you're killing me. Let me wipe away the tears, I'm laughing so hard. The "old uncle" version of lunacy and black supremicism? What's next the "Adolf Eichmann--old-grandpappy" line? If I had an old cracker uncle who still rode around with a torch and a white sheet would I be able to sign up for those "he's just an old crazy pastor" lines? And you've put up with the old black Nazi for how long, Derek? Twenty years? He must be a real avuncular, friendly pulpit-warmer to get the crazy-old-coot treatment.

“Wright stepped down as pastor weeks ago.”

Yes — but he stepped down to join the Obama campaign, if what I heard on Rush is true.

[NathanR]

“Wright stepped down as pastor weeks ago.” ... to work on Obama’s campaign.

[NoDRodee]

(Obama) said Rev. Wright “is like an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with”

One problem: You don’t choice which uncles you associate with. He chose this tax exempt organization, and chose to stay there 20 years

[NathanR]

“Mulatto” is an obsolete word. The word is “African-American”, which Obama, as a child of an African father and American mother, definitely is. Me, I went from “Negro” to “black” and stayed there.

[AndyTheBear]

Who cares. It needs to get out. The racist, commie dirtball Obama needs to be exposed.

Yep. Seems the Democrats really didn't vet this guy soon enough. But you won't find me shedding any tears if they end up stuck with a sinking ship after their convention.

On the other hand if Hillary somehow brokers out a convention win, the political backlash could get messy for her.

Time to pass the popcorn. Its all a weird sort of compensation for being stuck with McCain

[WOBBLY BOB]

Wright is like the uncle nobody mentions who lives at the nervous hospital.

[lula]

Obama doesn't respect the flag,and his wife stated recently for the “first” time she was proud to be an American. They belong to a church that spits vile hatred, and this guy is the Kennedy endorsed Democratic front runner?
Such True Americans!!!!!....(/sarc)

Hi Newbie!! What is that link?? You signed up today so I don’t know you.

When I looked up the word in Webster's online, an ad for Obama was posted on the same page. African American could apply to a white American with white parent(s) from South Africa. While you may believe the word is obsolete, it accurately describes Obama’s ethno racial makeup .Even bi racial is vague, given the fact there are more than two races. In any case, it's not a major issue.

[isrul]

whoa. I've never seen this stuff. It's scary.

[Philo-Junius]

“Mulatto” actually is a good term to describe Obama, but it has dropped out of general use because almost all African-Americans are of mixed descent.

Mulatto implies one parent who is entirely caucasian and one who is entirely African, as in Obama’s case—the issues of identity and caste are central to such an existence.

Most African-Americans, even though they have mixed ancestry, are raised entirely within the African-American cultural sphere by parents of similar ancestry.

There are good reasons to think about Obama’s ethnicity separately from, say, Jesse Jackson’s. Their family stories are quite different.

[NathanR]

“When I looked up the word in Webster's online, an ad for Obama was posted on the same page. “

LOL I still think it is obsolete ... like “negro”.

[isrul]

If that's the case what about the song Rush plays about Obama the magic Negro? :)

[NathanR]

The reason that song is so effective, is because it uses the obsolete word Negro. I know someone who uses that word all the time. The reason is because it used to be “correct” before “black” and “African-American” because now it is vaguely annoying, but not “bad”.

[ladyinred]

This is scary stuff, yet we are not allowed to discuss it! This kind of thing needs to told to the American people, but Obama is off limits. Imagine this from McCain's pastor? The media would go nuts. We are in trouble in this country, no free speech, and no media to tell the truth.

[isrul]

If it's annoying, perhaps I'll begin using it. Obsolete or not.
