Bill Clinton, once hailed as America’s “first black president,” has been disavowed by a once adoring black community. Geraldine Ferraro has been accused of being a secret racist. Oprah Winfrey is labeled a feminist sell-out. The major campaigns eagerly pander to racial and socioeconomic groups, and try different combinations of divide and conquer strategies. Black Americans are for Obama, and overwhelmingly admit that it’s a vote based on race, women are for Clinton and overwhelmingly admit that it’s a vote on gender. The two campaigns eagerly fight to curry favor with Hispanics. The wealthy are targeted for income redistribution, the poor are promised free medicine, and free-market capitalism is under full-scale assault. A party who once railed against supposed voter suppression now openly practices it in key states, and a party whose name is synonymous with ideals of populist governance adopts a delegate system reeking of undemocratic elitism. For those who have long understood the American left, none of the bigotry, racism, divisiveness, extremism or elitism that is emblematic of the 2008 Democratic Presidential contest is surprising. To understand the modern Democratic Party, one must recognize that it is a party built on racial, economic and socio-ethno-centric divisions. It is a cynical party; a party that depends on a culture of victimhood and division that in turn generates the demand for governmental redress. Without division, without racism, without inequality, there can be no government programs to remedy them, no election year pledges to change society, no mission or great societal crusade to endlessly fight for - no modern Democratic Party. Change is the undeniable, mechanical, political nature of a so-called “progressive” party, and the disharmony wrought from a perception of inequality is its engine.
Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright is nothing more than a purveyor of disharmony, and sadly, far from atypical. Like the Democratic Party itself, he is a man dedicated to ginning up racial hatred, to sowing societal discord, and fostering ignorance as a means of creating a willing and motivated following. Like the liberal establishment at large, for Jeremiah Wright, race is both a spear and a shield. It provides cover for his own bigotry, hatred and apparent anti-American paranoia while at the same time supplying the very weapon to denigrate his country and foster the societal division needed to drive his wayward flock. Jeremiah’s Wright’s message is not the message of Christ, it is not the message of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., it is not a message of peace, of reconciliation, or of hope.
The footage of Wright spewing hate-filled anti-American rhetoric was not the product of undercover video, or hidden cameras, they were excerpts from DVDs sold in his church gift shop. Far from slips of the tongue, or misconstrued remarks, they are messages Wright thoughtfully constructed and powerfully conveyed with all his rhetorical might. These are messages that Wright is proud of, that he
And yeah, Hannity has been pushing this Wright stuff for a while. I just wonder why he didn't get the videos of him from their online store and use them on his TV Show. It took ABC News, I believe, to run those clips first. Regardless, the glow is coming off the ONE.
Gee, where’s Je$$e Jackson or Al $harpton when you need them?
Seems to me this is right up their alley.
I agree. The glow is off Mr. Halo. He tried to come across as reasonable, but he got caught “ridin’ dirty.”
What's really telling is that considering the ease with which anyone visiting the gift shop could get the DVD, no one in the MSM pointed out the contents till Hillary's campaign operatives started mentioning it. As I recall Obama was a rather high profile senate candidtate with apparent aspirations for higher office four years ago, you'd think reporters would be curious to find out about Obama and the people closest to him. I was talking to a local black conservative radio talk show host yesterday, and he did a show on Jeremiah Wright and his radical agenda over a year ago. It seems to me that the MSM was actually embargoing this information.
The poor DNC....
Played the race card for decades.
Kissed the rings of the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, etc, etc..
Tossed Billions of OUR money and the “Black Causes”....
Managed to convince their Plantation Blacks that the Democrats were good and Republicans bad — causing them to forget which party was the party of slavery and which party was the party of Lincoln...
The DNC is STILL most responsible for the poor condition of Public Schools though their support of the Teacher’s Unions.
The DNC is STILL the force standing between Black Children and vouchers to attend private schools..
The DNC KNEW they couldn’t win any elections without a near monopoly on black votes....
As they have sown, so shall the reap!
The DNC now has a badly damaged, exposed fraud of a black Albatross corpse around their neck....
The stink of decay and scandal is overwhelming.....
It they attempt to cast him off and swing to Hillary at this point — they face a race riot on unprecedented proportions.....
Serves the ^$#^%#^% right.
I do not regard Obama as a true black American, with the black experience. He is a half American and half Kenyan.
That is something different. Jeremiah Wright is just a simple hypocrite, who wants to put Rev. in front of his name. Obama is a follower of Jeremiah Wright and not Jesus.
Obama has made this as clear as he can.
I hope that most people do not see American blacks as low down as Obama, for they are not.
Relax, my friend Kozak. Tip up your bottle of tequila and think for a moment.
Think of the rantings of Michelle Obama. Think of the hateful anti-whitey crap coming out of Obama's church. Think of his support coming from other sleazeball Revs (Jesse and Al). Think of his lightweight credentials.
And then think of the average person in the privacy of the voting booth, with no liberal friends watching and judging, and imagine how they're going to vote with "whitey whitey whitey" and AmeriKKKa ringing in their ear.
“I hope that most people do not see American blacks as low down as Obama, for they are not.”
I certainly don’t, but I am sure beginning to see that Blacks hate us Whites far more than I had thought.
What does “half American” mean? I do not undestand this concept.
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery,
Yes he is. Only problem is that McCain has baggage galore.
//Obama is a follower of Jeremiah Wright and not Jesus//
hammer meets head on nail
My favorite part.
“Obama is therefore either a radical, anti-American bigot or a man of pure political ambition, lacking significant conviction who continues to embrace a mentor with repugnant and indefensible views. In either event it is a devastating indictment of his personal beliefs and political ideals, a thorough evisceration of the core message of his campaign, and a political circumstance that makes Barack Obama both unelectable and unfit to serve as President of the United States.”
You left out "paranoid buffoonery" with the congregation jumping and hollering like a [snip] of [snip] fighting over a [snip].
Baggage galore? That is putting it midly, pissant!
While there is hatred on the right and in RINOville for Hillary and Obama, there is hatred for McLame as well and plenty of it. This year, instead of “the lesser of two evils”, it’s gonna be “no evil at all” for a lot of folks. Still, the Dems have the enthusiasm and the GOP is in the doldrums for backing the least likable/desireable candidate.
I’m keeping my popcorn kernels in the freezer until needed and sitting this one out...
Dunno, that's what I heard.
What U think?

RR, that is one good rant for 1:00 am! I like it!

True...a pastor's slips of the tongue wouldn't bring cheering, clapping people to their feet or inspire slaps on his back.
