Obama shows grace under fire (Barf Alert)

Where can I buy one of those "get out of trouble for free" cards?

Obama just handed a pile of them to Jeremiah Wright.

[syriacus]

Yesterday, on Countdown, Howard Fineman quoted someone who said that knuckleheads might not understand Obama's "high-minded" speech.

Headline should read: “Obama shows race under fire.”

Good one!

So the day had to come, sooner or later, when the issue of race claimed center stage.

You can thank Jerry Wright for that, Ms. Tucker.

He is indeed threatening us =

Will the real Manchurian Candidate please stand up?

[popdonnelly]

Please explain to me why I should entrust a man who’s wife and pastor hate America with the White House. Is this what we’re to expect from our leadership?

Why not vote for Hugo Chavez? At least he’s honest.

You post:
“The unspoken message is if you don't vote for me - the next black riots are going to shake the country in way we haven't seen since the 1960s. He and his supporters are not going to say its blackmail. More of an inducement to keep the next uprising at bay. “

Actually, he ‘spoke it out loud’ at a meeting of black ministers -

Why do the images of Red Square riots of the Bolshevik Revolution keep flitting across my mind?

The stealth weapon to keep us quiet has been “PC” while these Black Separatists have been planting the seeds of resentment and 'get Whitey - make Whitey pay'

“Cox communications was founded by a former Dem Prez nominee (’20)”

Yeah, but that Democrat was a segregationist. Something you won’t read in our “Democrats are wonderful” history books.

I nominate this as the Star post of the day!

“Where can I buy one of those “get out of trouble for free” cards?”

How many liberal friends do you have in the media?

I’m really getting tired of these people trying to manipulate me. If Obama’s closest people really feel this way about the United States, then I don’t want them in the White House.

Hmmmm......Grace is now defined by throwing your grandmother under the bus.

[popdonnelly]

“knuckleheads might not understand Obama’s “high-minded” speech.”

Fineman’s right. He didn’t understand Obama’s speech.

[maine-iac7]

Barack Obama is not a man who hates — but he chose to walk with a man who does.

Au contraire

He just hides his hate to achieve his goal - if he didn't also swallow the hate Whitey rhetoric, he wouldn't have continued his membership = he wouldn't continue to raise his children under this = his wife wouldn't be a echo of Rev. Bullfrog's hate-spewed, anti-America, anti-white agenda.

She regurgitates Rev. Bullfrog's words.

[maine-iac7]

Fineman’s right. He didn’t understand Obama’s speech.

[libertylover]

If this controversy was the first major test of Obama's leadership skills, then he passed easily, delivering a speech that was true to the essence of his claims about his candidacy.

What utter garbage. It's like trying to tell me some white guy goes to KKK meetings for 20 years and is a close friend of the grand wizard, but doesn't believe the KKK message. Bull****!!!

From the article: His speech in Philadelphia on Tuesday was for those voters, those discerning enough to embrace complexities, savvy enough to see past sound bites and wise enough to reward truth-telling.

Obama showed courage in talking openly about past and present race relations...including growing White resentment.

He disagreed with Rev. Wright in very strong terms...yet had the courage not to dismiss his other contributions, including his service as a US Marine.

Obama showed great courage, he showed the stuff of leadship.

If not for his proposed liberal policies (!!), I would vote for this man to be POTUS.
