Ruben Navarrette: Michelle Obama's under fire, but for no good reason

From a website called, AltMuslim.com:
"...speaking of hypocrisy, and the southside of chicago- and barak obama- one time i went to the bud milliken parade ( a very big event- about 6 hours long) and at one point- michelle obama appeared waving on top of an escalade, she was wearing torn jeans, a drumpled semi dirty t-shirt half tucked in and out- and her hair was crazy undone- then she made a small speech- and actually referred to barak as her "baby daddy" (not baby's daddy even you'll notice)

some of the crowd bought it- but i thought it was really over the top in the way of pandering, as i knew she was going to a state dinner that evening and can only assume her demeanor and dress would morph accordingly.

im still not on the obama bandwagon- not because i disagree with his policies- i just can't figure out what they are."

#1 Definition of "Baby Daddy", from urbandictionary.com:
"Usually a broke ass black man; Who you met through a friend and had sex wit when you was upset and confused. Now you don had his baby and he dont pay child support and denies yo son ray ray. He just my baby daddy"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baby+daddy

CNN transcript:
WOLF BLITZER: We can take a look. Maybe he will and maybe he won't but she looks like she's about to introduce him. Let's listen in.
MICHELLE OBAMA: "My baby’s daddy Barack Obama. Yeah!"
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0411/02/se.06.html

#1 Definition of "Baby's Daddy", also from urbandictionary.com:
"A guy who is a lousy father, who gots one or more kids with one or more chicks and, thinks he's a pimp. And instead of takin care of the baby he goes out an finds another chick to ****. Until she too becomes just another baby's momma and he moves on. So on and so forth."

girl one: "Who is that?"
girl two: "That's my dumbass baby daddy and his dumb ho"

“Even in elite corners. How did a corporate lawyer with degrees from Princeton and Harvard and a record of bringing together whites and blacks in her position as a hospital administrator get transformed, in the minds of some, into a black militant with a chip on her shoulder and a score to settle with white America?”

Are you really this dumb, Ruben?

Fro the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of Ruben Navarrette .

a record of bringing together whites and blacks in her position as a hospital administrator

Har!

She,a graduate of Princeton and Harvard who makes $300K/yr, just developed a sense of pride in this country a few months ago.

That is ***ALL*** I need to know about her.

Just one of hundreds of puff pieces from the ratmedia to barack mcgovern. And they scratch their stupid heads and wonder why their ad revenue is plunging.

“Not to mention a confusing one. Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, Michelle Obama was probably accused of “acting white” because she excelled academically and went off to the Ivy League. Now – abracadabra – she’s a Black Panther.”

Typical of the “reasoning” we see all to much of these days. Writers of this dude’s breadth must present figures either as Adolf Hitler or Jesus Christ. She’s really from a middle class background, but picked up her share of black militant attitudes and victim status attitudes. Nothing unusual, and nothing that puts her at either end of the good and evil spectrum.

How did a corporate lawyer with degrees from Princeton and Harvard and a record of bringing together whites and blacks in her position as a hospital administrator get transformed, in the minds of some, into a black militant with a chip on her shoulder and a score to settle with white America?

By opening her mouth at a public forum and making public statements that reveal her core views?

20 years of sitting through ‘God damn America’ sermons. Michelle is just your typical black person who clings to her bible of whitey-hating sermons.

Notice that the first argument hinges on the word ‘probably’. The second argument was that ‘some people’ might have believed a rumor. Let’s not let facts get in the way of writing an article to protect Michelle against... well nothing definite really...

Her father was a city employee and precinct captain.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]

(some key excerpts)

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.

I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."

SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We don’t worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the ’60s. Many are with us today."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

excerpt...

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

From the New York Times, April 28, 2008
Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

Maybe it was something she said.

I don’t even know who Reubin is but I think his article was clear and precise.

There was even a malicious rumor that she had given a speech in her church in which she had used the word "whitey." Never happened.

Never happened, even though we've heard from people who say they've seen it? They are only holding on to it to release closer to the elections.

Michelle is under fire because she is a whiner and America-hater. Also a whiner and American hater, Navarette thinks Michelle’s critics are off base. Ho Hum!

This woman and her husband are racist, that's a fact. These liberal twits actually expect all America to toss logic and common sense out the window.

Jeremiah Wright is a foaming at the mouth, crazy, white loathing, America hating moonbat. He said so himself, anyone can hear him on youtube.

The obamas consider him their "mentor". They were enthusiastically his disciples for 20 years. They consider him one of the family, again... they said so themselves. A 5 year old child could conclude from just this evidence exactly what they are but this moron has the audacity to say....

Once again, we seem to have an abundance of paranoid white folks who see a black separatist lurking around every corner.

Uh no, I see an 2 admitted white hating racist's being defended by metrosexual mexican guy with a funny name, Mr Ruben Navarrette.

Im sure Ruben pictures a white kkk member lurking around every corner just waiting to deny him and his border jumping brethren a piece of the American pie.

OH COME ON.....does she really “need” a reason?
