And some people wonder why some other people find the actions of some well educated, professional Blacks, who should know better, so totally implausible!
God help us if nObama gets elected!

About 600 of Chicago’s top African-American lawyers and judges gave standing ovations Thursday to two preachers who’ve been vilified in recent months for their sermons that went nationwide on the Web.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Rev. Michael Pfleger became headaches for Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign when their controversial comments became fodder for conservative talk-show hosts.
Wright said “God damn America” in arguing that American foreign policy helped bring on the 9/11 attacks. Pfleger said Hillary Clinton resented Obama as a black man taking the nomination she felt was hers.
But despite the heat on them, the two clergymen kept a previously scheduled date to double-team the annual banquet of the Cook County Bar Association, the country’s oldest black lawyers’ association.
Sticking a finger in the eye of Wright’s chief critic, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, Pfleger introduced Wright by listing his degrees, then saying, “And, Mr. O’Reilly, he was a Marine!”
And Wright jabbed comedian Bill Cosby, who has been critical of how many African Americans have been raising their children.
“I have no problem with Cosby . . . going around the country diagnosing our problems,” Wright said. But Wright said he preferred the actions of so many of the lawyers and judges who attend his church and work with his youth programs.
African-American youths need to see black judges in their robes and corporate attorneys in their suits as something to aspire to because “You can’t be what you can’t see,” he said. These attorneys do turn out in the community. You can see their black ass--ets in the hood, 24-7." Wright said.

Judges? Uggghhh.
Do these people really consider it necessary to give a standing ovation to a clown like Wright, and Vanilla Ice Pfleger? And if they do, am I obligated to respect them for it, or can I consider them foolish and arrogant?

Future Obamanation Scotus, Appeals and District court nominees. And Harry Reid will get them confirmed. Be afraid.
I hope the "I'm voting third party" fools reconsider.
I am not sure if the RINO relic would know good news if he heard it. But Wright-Pfleger hate tour would be very good news for the Keating Five guy.
Flegler’s Bishop better start sitting on him.
They see all there customers in the hood big time.
I hope the "I'm voting third party" fools reconsider.
I hear ya. The whole "not voting for McNasty and making America suffer for four years to see how awful the Democrats are" people don't realize just how much damage can be done by a person like Obama. I really, really don't like McNasty either. I haven't forgotten all the times he pissed on us, but the thought of putting someone like Obamalama in office is unthinkable. I mean, the guy is close (close enough) to someone who bombed the Pentagon and is proud of that.
The thought of Obama putting two SCOTUS Justices on the bench is downright frightening.
Thanks for the heads-up.
He stuck his finger in his own eye.
Every self-respecting patriotic Marine who has ever been a Marine is still a Marine.
Now there are two former Marines we know of. Murtha and Wright.
