PM, you’re fear of Obama as a Manchurian Candidate mirrors my own. I believe that Obama feels for racist Wright the love and devotion of a son who never had a father and never lived among blacks before coming to Chicago and Trinity in his 20s. I believe his twenty years spent willingly, maybe eagerly, absorbing the black liberation mantra made him a committed Marxist radical, eager to eliminate rampant “institutionalized racism” (which only blacks see)... but for the moment he’s hiding his real agenda behind a smiling facade and a content-free “Yes, we can”. It’s no accident they’ve put Michele in a cave somewhere until he’s anointed...she says what he thinks but is too smart to say yet.
I saw a clip of the lightweight (literally and figuratively) Elizabeth Hasselbeck 'discussing' this w/Whoopi Goldberg on the Hot Topics session of the View. Whoopi was going on about how the black churchs allow 'venting' because there is a 'generation of black Americans' who still sting, who lived under Jim Crow. Elizabeth, bless her little heart, can't think on her feet. The vast majority of the 'ameners' sitting in the pews of TUCC were of Obama's generation and education. Young, urban, Black professionals, 30 and 40 somethings, who reaped the benefits of the Civil Rights Movement but never, ever lived under Jim Crow. So where does that leave us? White Americans who go to race nuetral churches, now wondering exactly how 'Afrocentric' their neighbors and co-workers are? This is really, really ugly.
