The Obama Crash and Burn (Hanson gives great news and is hilarious)

. . . Over the past four days, I asked seven or eight random (Asian, Mexican-American, and working-class white) Americans in southern California what they thought of Obama’s candidacy — and framed the question with, “Don’t you think that was a good speech?” The answers, without exception, were essentially: “Forget the speech. I would never vote for Obama after listening to Wright.” In some cases, the reaction was not mild disappointment, but unprintable outrage.

. . . The sure thing of Democrats winning big in the House and Senate is now in danger of a scenario in which a would-be Senator or Representative explains all autumn long that the party masthead really does not like Rev. Wright, whose massive corpus of buffoonery no doubt is still to be mined. (The problem was never “snippets,” but entire speeches devoted to hatred and anger, often carefully outlined in a point-by-point format).

What is the remedy?

I would go buy about 10,000 American flags to blanket every Obama appearance, have a 4x4 lapel-button flag custom-made for the senator, have Michelle finish every appearance by leading a chorus of “God Bless America,” draft every middle-of-the-road crusty drawling Democratic veteran (the knightly Harris Wofford doesn’t cut it) to criss-cross the country — and try to Trotskyize Rev. Wright from the campaign.

The bad news is Obama will win the Democratic nomination. The good news is he will likely lose in November. Operation Chaos rocks! And I still loathe McCain.

Is Hanson calling for Wright to get an icepick in the neck from an Obama supporter? Maybe they could do it in Mexico City.

Do not underestimate BDS. My left winger brother is a racist, plain and simple. He even made a joke about how “when” Obama is elected reparations will be a reality. And then took a more serious tone, began to sympathize with prejudice that blacks deal with today. Told me that Rev. Wright’s comments were blown up, out of context. To my amazement, my brother will vote Obama, and will do his best to get everyone he knows to do the same.

My brother admitted McCain is a liberal, but said he couldn’t vote Republican after all the “evil” Bush and Cheney have done.

Sadly, my brother is a moron, but that makes him part of the crowd among Democrats.

My in-laws unfortunately are enthralled with the Obamessiah, and gave me a full text copy of his “wonderful” speech. I told them I read it 2 times already and it’s a bunch of crap. How can you put your family on par with a pastor? Especially one like his? He practices the politics of envy, hatred, and class warfare, all crap. My mother in law just said, well I’ll let Mrs. VPINTHEAK read it then. I said OK, see you later. Mrs. VPINTHEAK is not fooled.

If Michelle sings anything like hilliary does, that would be an additional detriment to his campaign.

They can put all the flags behind him and lapel pins on him they want and we will still know he is a socialist who hates whites and America.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that Trotsky throwaway line, too.

Maybe they’d better send out a Secret Service detail to protect the Reverend Wright.

I assume these are the same people who were stunned when black people cheered OJ for getting off scott-free after killing his white wife?

The MSM portrayal of black people and black churches is a lie. A well meaning lie, but a lie none-the-less. And it's a lie that keeps racism alive.

[Southack]

The problem with Obama and Hillary crashing is that leaves Al Gore to come to their rescue at their Denver convention.

Dang, VDH - Don’t go giving the guy any ideas!

The first step to put racism behind us is to get real about the issue.

I deal with couple guys that are right in there with your brother, and concur.

That said, there are also some middle of the roaders who can’t stand Bush, can’t stand Hillary, and probably would have voted for Obama, up until now. At this point, they’re leaning McCain.

Along with that "gifted" son Wofford was a a Bob Casey gift to Pennsylvania.

I took it as taking a 'hero of the revolution', and turning him into a 'non-person'...Erasing his picture from photographs with the party's apparatchik.
