Geraldo doesn't get it. The problem is the style of speaking, screaming and yelling in a fit of anger. In European and English culture that is considered inciting violence and hatred or inciting a riot. And the dominant culture of American voters considers that unacceptable.
No one should be speaking in public like this, venting that kind of anger. Period. We don't need to understand this or take any anthropology or sociology lectures from a raving lunatic. No one should defend this. It should prove interesting to watch liberals squirm as this continues to explode. The sarcastic and mocking remarks about the Irish and European culture will not help Obama on this issue.
They call it "anger management issues" in the "European paradigm" of psychobabble and psychology.
Total meltdown. And shows the Bill Moyers interview was just an act.
Ain't that the truth! And what about Big Ted?
Oprah’s success was due to hard work and detrmination?
Maybe.But to me it was more like a manipulation of masses of guilt ridden white women across America who she has been able to captivate with her hollow New Age cliches.
Got to admit she is a good businesswoman,however.Like PT Barnum was.
God help me, I was thinking a blown carotid.
TED
Six pack of one
half a dozen Bushmill’s of the other!
Where’s the Station Wagon?
Oprah before the $$$$ was hard work and determination. She wasn’t poor, but broke poor. That didn’t stop her learning ability.
Oh no, it was possible.
Just not when only ONE SIDE is doing all the trying to get past it!
Well said. I am still stunned by it all.
It doesn't matter if it is considered an acceptable preaching style in that congregation. Screaming and yelling in a fit of anger is considered inappropriate and deranged in normal American culture.
He shouldn't be doing this anymore than running around in public in a grass skirt waving a voodoo hexing doll.
I do agree with you on that.She came up hard with a lot of obstacles to overcome and I give her that.
Too bad now that she has to undermine her talent prompting clowns like that Tolle character and the nutjob known as Tom Cruise.
There hasn’t been a political figure this incendiary in our lifetime. Farrakhan and Sharpton were already relegated to the lunatic fringe. So should this.
I know exactly what you are saying. I have had to stop my car in the middle of the street to keep from running over someone because they ‘dared’ me to hit them by just standing there glaring at me.
They had better thank the Good Lord that I wasn’t in my hormonal state at the time or they would be D E A D.
I think they are taught that white people are the enemy as Wright just suggested in his hate speech today. And any white person who tries to correct their ‘language’ or behavior are racist.
THinking about this screeching howler monkey and his followers...kinda makes me think it will be safer in beautiful downtown Baghdad come 2009, than it will be in Chicago/Detroit/DC/LA/ you name it! SHEESH!
The speech is being replayed in it’s entirety on CNN right now if anyone wants to catch it again- or for first time..
When I was growing up in the 1950s, there was not any fear from me about Blacks. Granted there was discrimination back then and I can recall when we lived across the South there were drinking fountains for Whites and separate ones for Blacks. The same was for restrooms and such.
There were no Blacks in the schools I attended from Kindergarten until I graduated high school in 1965.
Yet I never once recall any fear from Blacks in the 1950s.
Yes, I did find myself occasionally fearful of Blacks in the late 1960s when the Black Panthers and Radical Blacks were calling for riots and the lynching of Whites, but by the 1970s, all that faded away as far as I knew.
Yet in the past years since Bill Clinton came to power and the Liberal Democrats have become the only Democrats, I find your feelings above not foreign to me.
I now go armed everywhere I go nowadays. I am in the worse minority in the world this day and age, a redheaded, blue-eyed White guy over 60!
This guy is very difficult to listen to. He should have stayed out of sight until after the election. Fortunately, he has surfaced and will help drive erstwhile (white) Obama supporters away.
Agree! It will be VERY interesting to see how he handles this. His name with an emphasis on the ‘Hussein’ part was shouted and the ‘Change’ Mantra was THE common thread of this arrogant, unrepentant rant.
