Nah. Once the intent is mentioned, the racists’ apologizes don't really count.
Right-wing commentators and talk show hosts have taken a lot of fire from critics who say their excessive Obama-bashing fueled Brunn’s hate.
James Wenneker von Brunn, Abdulhakim Mujahid and the Unibomber are HUGE leftist brothers in arms.
One day the leftists will see it and be ashamed.
On the flip side - what was it about Dubya that drove some people nuts?
Wright is crazy all on his own, Obama didn’t make him that way.
Never ID'd Von Brunn as a leftist either huh?
He's a commie.
I don't like commies.
There is a commie in the White House.
This is a pebble in the shoe. A bone out of joint. Clouds without rain.
Fingernails scratching across a chalkboard.
He has an unnatural zeal for supporting abortion that convinces me his 'moral compass' is missing its needle...
Yes, he is an irritant.
All of the above.
Plus, I just cannot stand the sound of his voice. It is like fingernails on chalkboard. I have to turn the radio off.
Bambi drives me nuts because he is a leftist puke with no morals. What drives me even more nuts is that people refuse to look beyond the crap he says into what he actually does.
Wow. Silly me. I thought that Obama’s advisors — Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Pete Rouse, et al. were refusing to allow Obama see Wright.
But no, there’s this Zionist conspiracy that won’t allow Obama to see Wright.
I don’t see Zionist leanings in Rahm Emanuel. I’ll admit I don’t know the others’ leanings quite so well.

Although I can't pinpoint it exactly, one of the early moments when I started to loathe & detest him was when he made his 'lipstick on a pig' comment, and then pretended that he hadn't said anything rude. That's when I definitively knew that he was a duplicitous bastard.
I really don’t give a crap about Rev. Wright. I see no mystery whatsoever about who and what he is. He’s just another “automatically excused” malevolent and twisted influence on 0bama, in a long line of same.
From the title, I thought the article was about “what drives people nuts about 0bama”. One among many of the things that irritates me about him is indeed how all these obvious anti-American “get whitey” thug influences on him are just so much water under the bridge. He’s entirely and transparently a product of all these weirdos that seem so borderline ghoulish, but somehow, he’s the one, he’s the messiah, his ideas are the answer to our prayers.
It would be easier for me to answer “what do I like about 0bama”. And there’s really not much of anything. And all those things I dislike are seen by his supporters and cronies as plusses. He’s the embodiment, the warhead, of a mass utopian delusion that has taken over the country and is nothing short of a grisly reminder of how despots can come to power in confused and desperate times. This is government by “get whitey”, I really can’t explain it any simpler. That the impoverished folks who elected him think they will benefit is tragic. That the liberal elites, including Jews of whom I am one, voted for him in large numbers is a deep embarassment. I believe 0bama et al will set back race relations by fifty years. I detest what he’s doing to the economy. While the roots of the situation belong to both parties, the observations that power-hungry cliques and individuals in Wash DC are using this crisis to both consolidate and expand bureaucracies without apparent limit, seize more power, and overturn critical issues covered in the Constitution are nauseating.
Man, isn’t that the damn truth.
Yep, Zero is a big joke. We know nothing about this individual, and people bought that hopey changy crap. So be it. We are out numbered by the idiots. And I, too, am bewildered why the Jewish folks flock toward this crap.
News to me, honestly. How is he a lefty?
He describes himself as a Pagan Socialist
Von Brunn was one of yours, Clarence, ol' buddy, ol' pal. He self-identified as a Socialist -- not to mention Holocaust denier and white supremacist.
"Right-wing commentators" had nothing to do with Von Brunn's crazed rampage.
Which still leaves unanswered the question about, across twenty years, exactly how much influence the president's pastor had over him. How many of those hatreds does he share...???
Clarence, I don't think you want to know the answer to that question.
Who of course were a party of the Left.
That sounds pretty close to what he considered himself.
When you're talking about popular sovereignty or popular supremacy, the primacy of a people, you're talking about the Old Left, i.e. the 19th-century Left, of which our classical liberals, ordoliberals, Jeffersonians, Jacksonians, and so on (now including paleocons and neocons), were a part.
The more exotic weeds of the Left grew into cover stories for vanguard despotism. There were Communism, Nazism, Trotskyism, Maoism [someone tell me quick, the difference between Maoism and Trotskyism -- I can't think of one], and New World varieties like Mexican Communism, or PRIismo, and Peruvian Aprismo, from APRA, a Communist-nativist movement and political party rather like Nazism. Aprista political refugees in the 1930's cross-pollinated Mexican Communists with their nativism afresh: PRI had been a very mestizo and indio party in 1919, but it was gradually becoming Creolized, and so the Apristas reinvigorated the Mexican Communists' identification with indio problems and agenda.
The North American variety of classical liberalism and democratic republicanism (i.e. Jeffersonianism) grew into populism, Progressivism, nativism (the Know Nothings), and Kluxerism, together with Kluxerism's offshoots, white supremacy and segregationism, all of which were centered around the welfare of The People (however defined), and particularly the less well-off, since the well-off did fine on their own, thank you.
But there was never as much daylight between a classical American economic liberal practicing laissez-faire and busting his unions (and calling in the bulls to do it, and having the State lege write convenient gun-grabber laws like Chicago's to help him do it: which was what gun control was all about, after it stopped being about keeping black freemen and slaves disarmed), on the one hand, and the populist Grangers and small-business Mugwumps he affected to disdain, as there was between any of those representatives of popular sovereignty on the one hand and the exponents of Leviathan government and the authority of the State, the Church, and other self-ordering, self-seeking institutional Lords Ordainers and their votaries, whether they called themselves Falange, or Fascists, or royalists, on the other.
In fact, it was precisely this division that ranged Whiggish English businessmen and American business and political groups on one side, and the victorious powers of the Vienna Congress and their anti-liberty, anti-Masonic, anti-Protestant representatives of the old feudal order on the other, as the daughters of Spain fought it out with their mother country for liberty and independence, and Britain and America, with Spain finally defeated after a civil war of 44 years, interposed the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty and the Monroe Doctrine between Spain and her lost possessions, to deny authoritarianism a fresh foothold in the New World, a world that Americans and Englishmen agreed the Old Order had lost on merit.
Thug thizzle, baby. Watch him get off Marine One and do that slow, ponderous thug stroll, rolling as he walks slow, across the White House lawn to the White Crib, middle digit uplifted.
