"I'm sure," said Barack Obama in that sonorous baritone that makes his drive-thru order for a Big Mac, fries and strawberry shake sound profound, "many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed." Well, yes. But not many of us have heard remarks from our pastors, priests or rabbis that are stark, staring, out-of-his-tree, flown-the-coop nuts. ...snip...
It is Barack Obama's choice to entrust his daughters to the spiritual care of such a man for their entire lives, but in Philadelphia the senator attempted to universalize his peculiar judgment – to claim that, given America's history, it would be unreasonable to expect black men of Jeremiah Wright's generation not to peddle hateful and damaging lunacies. Isn't that – what's the word? – racist? So much for the post-racial candidate.

“I hope you are right. There will be civil war in the Democrat party and Hillary will destroy herself politically. I wouldn’t be surprised if she not only loses the Presidential race, but eventually her Senate seat.”
You’re assuming, wrongly, that she actually cares about her senate seat. She ran for the senate solely to run for president. If that fails, her interest in politics is over as well. Consequently, she is completely incapable of harming herself politically.
“The US released penicillin resistant gonorrhea in Viet Nam...”
Monica Crowley might have been channeling Shelby Steele who has written a book about Obama.
this note is from National Review Online:
Shelby Steele, author of A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win, explains the “magic” to John J. Miller: “Obama’s what I call a bargainer. He’s someone who . . . says ‘I will never rub the shameful history of America’s racism in your face if you will not hold my race against me.’ And white Americans love that thought.”
I am getting it from the library next week. We must remember that Obama chose as a college graduate to enter the world of race politics in Chicago “not that there is anything wrong with that” but he could have made a career anywhere and this is what he chose. He is a radical leftist!! and has been since he reached adulthood.
Hope you are feeling better. Some bad bugs (colds and flus) have been going around this year. My husband had influenza twice within a month. It took him sometime to recover both times. Plus two of the kids got it and all three of them have had numerous colds—one cold on top of another.
Does he really believe this? If so, he's crazy, and no sane person would sit through his gibberish, certainly not for 20 years.
Stark raving mad!
Thanks for the ping!
The American people are starting to change their minds about Obama and if this info on Wright came out prior to all of the past elections, I am sure we would see different results.
Case in point: I have a co-worker who is a proud Democrat. She and her family loves our current gov. Deval Patrick and does not like President Bush (typical lib).
Anyhow, they both voted for Obama and are now so disgusted by those tapes they don't think they can vote for Obama in the general because the tapes turned them off so much. My co-woker says she will vote for McCain if it comes between him and Obama. She now wants Hillary to win so she doesn't have to vote for a Republican.
HA! I am loving every minute of it. ;o)
“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”
Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.
“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”
“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”
Here is the link to the Star Spangled Banner video with obama standing there without his hand over his heart...
Notice her ear ring!

Thank you for the ping!
I did a little research and it appears that there was penicillin resistant gonorrhea in South Viet Nam, but it was caused by the government giving penicillin to prostitutes to keep them free of disease, which is thought to be the reason the resistant strain developed. One part of my statement was correct, but one part was mis-stated.
Makes sense. They've been convincingly outed by the new media over the last several years. Their tactics will still work on large numbers of people to some degree or another.
Meanwhile, I wouldn't want my car to be parked on the street in Denver come the DEM convention. I think that scene is gonna be car-flippin' crazy.
They'll claim independence for big screen TVs, storefront jewelry, and drugstore cigarettes.
The GCC will pull all the strings possible to eliminate the possibility of a Rat president.
I have to disagree. The price of oil is currently not in the hands of Saudi Arabia. The market fundamentals don't support a price any where near $100/bbl. This is being driven by speculators in the futures market where a little cash can control a lot of oil. Unless Soros & co. want the price lower, it ain't gonna get there.
The "recession" is a standard, planned event that happens every time the MSM thinks it will help elect a democrat. I've been predicting it's clocklike regularity for years.
Bttt
Or is he just saying it? In which case, he's profoundly wicked. If you understand that AIDS is spread by sexual promiscuity and drug use, you'll know that it's within your power to protect yourself from the disease. If you're told that it's just whitey's latest cunning plot to stick it to you, well, hey, it's out of your hands, nothing to do with you or your behavior.
The pastor is a fraud, a crock, a mountebank – for, if this truly were a country whose government invented a virus to kill black people, why would they leave him walking around to expose the truth?
An extremely well-written and thought out piece and - to me - the three statements above are the best. All these 'elite' media types trying to rationalze this speech and the man who gave it are either utterly stupid or lying. Either way, they are dangerous people.
I would agree with you except that John McCain is waiting in the wings. The man who said he will run a clean campaign. The ads against Obama and Hillary have written themselves but it appears McCain may not use them.
After 9/11 and we went into Afghanistan, I thought the media would get its comuppence after so much negative reporting and then success in Afghanistan. I thought it would happen for sure in Iraq, where reporting a quagmire for three weeks, we were in Bahgdad tearing down Saddam’s statue. But they’re like the Energizer Bunny - they just keep putting out the same lies over and over and the vast majority of the American public keep buying it.
Dr. Deth:They'll claim independence for big screen TVs, storefront jewelry, and drugstore cigarettes.
They love these thing in Kosovo, too. But, according to The Hunt, Carla del Ponte's book due at bookshops in the beginning of April, Kosovars found themselves a better business: they abduct Serbs and keep them in special camps in Mother Albania, and then harvest donor organs (for sale) from them when alive. Then they buy TVs, cigarettes etc. with the proceedings... but first of all Kalashnikovs and other toys.
It’s been this bad for a while now. In 2000 they refused to tell the obvious truth, that Gore was trying to steal it through multiple recounts and lawsuits. And there was the last minute Bush DWI story. And Look how freakin low they went for Kerry with the fake NG documents and endless other dirty tricks.
