Best article I’ve seen on Obama. Ever.
Here; we can test that theory:
Michael Pfleger is another "pastor" who espouses essentially the same racist views as Jeremiah Wright - and Pfleger is white!
I find him just as abhorrent as Wright, don't you?
So it's not "race," it's stupidity we object to.
I have long thought that when a black person is elected to the presidency he or she will be a Republican for precisely the reasons given in this essay.
Many have hoped that the candidacy of Barack Obama would help move the nation beyond the racial issues of the past. Unfortunately, the reverse may occurhis candidacy may actually set back the cause of racial harmony in this country. And that is truly tragic.

Yes, and liberals are the real tragedy. THEY are the racists. From their PROFESSIONAL racists like Jackson and Sharpton, the NAACP, etc. to the self-declared lazy “victims” of just being black, racism on the left from the majority of self-serving black African-Americans will not cease. They represent the MOST RACIST group in America, playing the race card at every chance. And Obama and his ilk, are no exception.
Maybe one day, real solid Americans will all stand up, of all ethnic backgrounds, and tell these political parasites to either become REAL AMERICANS first, stand up and be responsible Americans first, or just find another country to live in. Until our pols find Americanism more important than being PC and playing that liberal card, will this crap ever end in America.

Hey, I’m white and I only hate the half white part of Obama, so I can’t be racist!
What Juan Williams has said about the disintegration of the black family was said long before by the much better known and more popular Bill Cosby - and he was denounced and traduced by the black “leadership” as though he had just joined the Klan. The indisputable fact is that blacks voted about 93 percent Democratic before Obama. Now the race motive has been added to their natural predilection for liberalism. Look for 99 percent in November!
I agree. It was a pleasure to read - which doesn't happen much these days.
I wish Juan Williams would read this because I'd like him to understand.

I do not care that obama is 50% white or 50% black, I will not vote for him because he is 100% socialist liberal, when obama loses what the dems will have to come to grips with is he lost because DEMOCRATS would not vote for Obama
Yes, and these are the people voting for him.
This is the DNC; they are the race party.
If you are prepared to ignore race, if race isn't particularly important or interesting to you, if you would prefer to judge someone on the basis of their character and their policy positions, you are probably a Repub and you are probably shocked as all get-out that a guy with no qualifications is getting this close to the White House.
Of course, when you consider who he is running against, another Dem with no qualifications at all, you have to wonder what has come over these people. Are there no adults at all left in the DNC capable of mature leadership? What has happened that the two heaviest of heavy hitters are vanishingly lightweight, with no accomplishments to point to at all?
What does it mean when one of the major parties has made defeat and surrender the linchpin of its campaign platform and half of America can't wait to vote them into office?
What does it mean when a major political party responds to the highest energy prices ever by promising never ever to let anyone drill for oil?
What does it mean when a package is completely empty, and half of America wants only to look at the wrapper? And gets upset if you shake the box and point out that there is nothing at all inside?
marking for later reading
If there is a hidden contingent of white Americans who will choose based on race, then it makes sense that there is a hidden contingent of black Americans who will vote the other way for the same racist reasons. I have yet to see an article or hear a pundit mention the hidden black racists. Oh wait I get it, They aren’t being targeted for a guilt trip...
SECOND BEST.
‘THE JIHAD CANDIDATE’ IS THE BEST.

Rich Carroll nails him. Nothing is left out.
“Truly, we will never know, because there can never be another first.”
So the Republicans nominate Condi Rice.
First black WOMAN President!
A NEW first... (never happen, I know)
Excellent article. Thanks for posting.
Bump - because I want to see what it says too.
