I just read Obama's speech and have tears running down my face ...

Posted on 03/18/2008 10:53:47 AM PDT by HD1200

I have seen a like intro referencing crying at several left wing message boards a dozen times already.

OK, this is what we are up against people. Crybabies that start crying over political speeches! Unbeleivable! Just who ARE these people that would cry over a political speech given solely because the guy was backed into a corner over an issue? To CRY over it?

Conservative Blog Reaction Roundup...

Here’s a blank check to white racists to join the restrictive country club of their choice because, after all, they can no more disown white racism than they can the entire white community:

Lots of deplorable people are part of America, including white racists. Political candidates are not required to embody every strand of America

That's true, but it's not the story.

The story is how, and why, whites are in denial about how many blacks agree with and approve of Reverend Wright.

We don't see, because if we did see, we couldn't live together with them any more.

It's no good to simply say "this deplorable strand of opinion is one that no candidate is bound to embody" IF it represents 80% of the blacks, as it probably does.

We must unite to defeat the capitalist pig. Socialism is the only way to unite blacks and whites.

Yep, that's the untold story of Obama's church. They believe in liberation theology, which is warmed over socialism.

I’m a little concerned when folks seem to think a political speech given by someone who’s running for president can overcome plain facts: Obama’s spiritual leader is a radical leftist who cowardly misuses race to defeat his enemies.

Didn’t Elliott Spitzer give speeches filled with moral platitudes during the years he made friendly with his night owls? ;0)

Speeches mean little in the face of the obvious unless one can’t see the obvious.

“The most important aspect: Obama threw his white grandmother under the bus. Equating her with the hatemongerer Wright.”

Freudian slip? He hates that part of him.

A long while back on CSpan, they had the “reparations” crowd chanting and holding a protest.
One of the black girls said she was “poisoned” by having white blood in her from her ancestry(white slave owner that helped prolong her family)
I was taken back by the hatred in her voice.
MLK jr probably looked down and wept.

Obama’s very sophisticated appeal IS racist

and now he has said so, directly

he has appealed to liberal whites’ guilt, letting them feel they can assauge their guilt by voting for a black

he has appealed to blacks, with the idea of re-enforcing the liberal supreme court rulings that mandate racial gerrymandering that says blacks aren’t represented unless their representative is black

now, he has pre-determined the 2008 election results as racially motivated if HE is not elected

the card he has attempted to lay down is one where, no matter his political philosophy, a black running for president (obama), according to obama will only be rejected because of his race

he is no different than j.jackson and a.sharpton, just slicker at it

throw his grandma under the bus

That's the first time I heard him acknowledge any of his white relatives. Of course, I am not an avid student of his speeches, so I probably missed previous references.

Grandma must be in show business, where any publicity is good news.

Obama knows how to push their white liberal guilt button.

In today's WSJ editorial page, there is an op ed titled "The Obama Bargain." It makes that point, and talks about how Obama has "turned his blackness to his political advantage" by making a bargain: Not to shame whites with America's past racism, in condition of whites not using his race against him.

Apparently many democrats like that bargain. How else to explain how a guy with no record and lots of empty rhetoric is so popular?

"I just read Obama's speech and have tears running down my face ...

Me too.
Out of frustration, anger and exhaustion of hearing even more racial whining.

Over and over and over.....

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Blacks aren't the only people in America that had it rough, grew up poor, had to work at hard labor.

How long do they expect to get a ride on the slavery issue?

Any living blacks in America that were slaves of white Americans have my ehartfelt sympathy.

The rest need to shut up about it and build a life through their own hard work, just like the rest of us have to do.

"Just who ARE these people that would cry over a political speech..."

Liberals who can be made to feel guilty for things they haven't done, i.e., people who don't think, just feel.

Although Obama’s speech is not without its evasions, I consider it a courageous one by usual political standards.

Not me. It was nothing but hollow words.

Whatever anyone does, don’t ask Crissy Matthews what he has running down any part of HIS body right now - we don’t want to know : )

As for me, I want to ask Obama to pony up money so I can buy a new B.S meter—my old one blew up during his speech.
