Obama: Fire Imus Obama First White House Contender to Call for Imus' Firing Over Racial Slur"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Obama corner in upper right.

"He didn't just cross the line," Obama said. "He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America. The notions that as young African-American women -- who I hope will be athletes -- that that somehow makes them less beautiful or less important. It was a degrading comment. It's one that I'm not interested in supporting."

Aha, but I'm one of those "rich white people" that are the world's biggest killers who nuked thousands without batting an eye and invented HIV to commit genocide against people of color. My government lied and we all conspired to condemn the world to grinding poverty as we live in luxury. I am no better than Al Qaeda.

Like it or not, Barack, these are the ideas you supported for 20 years, and it didn't bother you to take your two young daughters there to hear it over and over again.

Lest we forget... This asshat didn’t just sit in the pew listening to this crap. He provided financial support to the tune of $22,500 in 2006 alone.

He HAD to have endorsed Wright’s message. Otherwise, why pony up?

I agree, it doesn't add up to give big bucks to the church and claim to disagree with the message.

Now to be fair, I am willing to give the reverend a pass as to being bitter against white folks, considering he grew up in the segregated era of history.

But when he starts saying we are killers and we unleashed HIV on black people to commit genocide, that guy is nuts. Certifiable. Big red flags.

Even if someone has a grudge against white people, that's not the sort of conspiracy theories you want your kids to be hearing. Just plain crazy.
