Actually, Eleanor sounds like McCain or a spokesman for his campaign.

Yes with the philosophy and minus the rantings. You might say Obama is a slicker version of Wright without all the distressing and hateful bromides. At least that's how Obama depicted his relationship with his mentor. For the sake of argument - we'll stipulate Obama isn't a bigot. But that doesn't mean the leftist views Wright holds and which Obama apparently has subscribed to - are right for this country.

Only a blind and dumb racist fool could support Obama.

Obama said that there are racists on the right too and said that Reagan’s support and talk radio’s audience comes from white racists.

The man is a bigot who sells race hatred to get ahead.

Oh come on. Eleanor Clift is Cindy Sheehan with an education. McCain’s not that bad.

What is now AMAZING to me is that Oprah supported Obama...KNOWING of Reverend Wright’s rhetoric.....DID they really believe they could keep the wool pulled over everyone’s eyes? I guess so, but, now that the wool is gone, I believe America is seeing why some (the liberal) in the black community can’t seem to be successful. When you preach VICTIM....you get VICTIMS!

This isn't a racist quote: “(white) people were satisfied as long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves."

I'm gonna vote for a guy who believes America's race problems can be solved by treating white people like nuerotic poodles?

Don’t Judge Obama on Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Remarks

Why not? People judge Republicans and Conservatives based on Clift's Remarks!
(as well as other liberal pundits)

I wouldn't be surprised if he had been in the pews and never noticed what the Rev was really saying because I could see Obama there just off in day dream land not paying attention.

Possible, but not likely. In the videos the congregation is on their feet cheering...could he have slept thru that? No...more than likely he was on his feet cheering. Can't get any votes by being passive!

He was there for 20 years...of course he was in complete agreement!

I don’t judge him by the racist bastards remarks.. I judge him by the fact he sat there and let his family be repeatedly exposed to them for 20 years.. then when called on it, lied and said he’d never heard them... then when that was proven to be false, tried to play the race card.

Fauxbama is no leader... he’s just a pathetic stuffed shirt, trying to pretend that he’s a man.

I agree. But I am starting to believe that it is Michelle that has driven their membership in and support of the church and racist rev. Barack may be 85% in agreement, while Michelle is 100% in agreement.

Eleanor child, I'm not judging Obama on Wrights remarks, I'm judging Obama on what he didn't do, or say, about them....for 20 years.

agreement by acquiescence

Obama was up front about blaming his white Grandma for being a racist. She had no power Barack, her opinion had very little effect on anyone. I see this as an effort to protect the very hateful, Marxist preacher, Wright, by equating his white Grandma, with his America hating bigot pastor Jeremiah Wright. Both loved, both racists. Yeah, right.

Obama is an Obamanation, and should never be given any power or credence by US citizens.

Mmmmm, would Ms. Clift be so forgiving were it to be found out that John McCain’s pastor for 20 years was a KKK sympathizer?

This is standard liberal thinking: conservatives are racist. No further reflection is required.
