52. That's the DAMN truth. Sooner or later those who have the "audcity to face the truth" are going to
realize they bought seven gallons of snake oil from a Svengali in a traveling revival show. How they react to that realization will be a direct reflection on their personal integrity.

Is that Ms. Black Panther herself? Yeah, she's hugged up with AL SHARPTON talking about how the halls of government have been ran like a slave plantation in a BLACK CHURCH. Que Rev. Wright. Don't THINK the REPUBLICANS WOULDN'T USE THIS AS WELL. There is plenty of this stuff from the Clintons because they love preaching from the pulpits of black churches.

50. And Rev. Wright is
OLD NEWS and has been dug up from the grave by desperadoes in the Clinton/Faux/Limpballs camp. You just don't see what is happening DO YA! HA HA HA HA! After they have their run with Ole Rev. Wright, all of a sudden, this little clip along with MANY MANY others, will all of a sudden be unearthed for renewed discussion. It is perpetual. It will keep going because they are simply trying to divide the Democratic party and it is working like a "lucky" charm. HA HA HA. Besides, didn't Andrew Young say that Bill Clinton has "slept" with more black women than Barack Obama? Don't think THAT won't come up as well.

http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/03/13/obamas_pastor_says_god_damn_america/8771/

trust me... this isn't going away.... and folks are going to realize what kind of change that he's talking about.

you couple this with the comments that Michelle Obama has to say about Mean America

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/03/09/michelle-obama-s-mean-america-statement-gets-nearly-free-media-pass


Then folks are going to realize that he believes in what Wright is saying... and then make their decisions accordingly.

The only thing that shocks me is that this is coming out now, before the Primaries are over. I totally figured this for the fall.

53. You are citing obviously out of context quotes off Newsbusters?
At the very top of the page you link to we see the slogan "Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias" and then we see several quotes from Michelle Obama which could not possibly be presented in a way that was any more obviously out of context.

If this is considered a credible source then I hate to see who you will be citing next.

And one New Yorker piece with the same out of context quotes. But even if that quote was out of context does anyone actually deny that there has been quite a bit of mean-spiritedness in this country lately? People get so worked up over the most basic of statements it is ridiculous.

75. and, "the first time in my adult life I've ever been proud of my country."
It's like a movie that you go to about a train wreck. It's a really long movie. It's unnecessarily long, as a matter of fact. You knew going in who the major characters were. You had a really good idea of how it was going to end, and you've seen enough trailers to fill in how they were going to get there but you go to the movie anyway. About 1:20 minutes into the movie, the media is just beginning to talk about them getting onto the train and you're looking at your watch thinking, "are you KIDDING ME, at this rate it's just going to be one gigantic ugly crash at the end when nobody can do anything about it, THE END."

Hopefully, this new scrutinization means that at least a few of the media realize they have a genuine duty as the fourth estate to report stories that take just a bit of courage to tell. Hopefully they have in their characters the fortitude to report what people have a right to know, even if the telling is not popular everywhere.

60. Now I understand why Obama wanted to take Hillary out in Ohio and Texas
And why he has been so deflated since that time.

He figured that if he had the nomination sewn up, he'd be able to rely on the vast resources of the Democratic party to deal with this.

Instead, he's out there on his own. Twisting in the wind.

And the super delegates now have an option that allows them to save face in November.

I am looking forward to how you will be working to help the Democratic party and Obama counter this slimy attack during the General against McCain and the Republicans.

We should all be glad that you are doing the necessary legwork now in uncovering this filth. You will be a great asset come November.

At this point you have 2 choices. If you're delusional enough to believe this garbage that Obama is "not who he seems", and you're not willing to defend Hillary (who's lost now anyways), then I don't see why you're wasting your time on this board jumping on other peoples comments.

45. Everyone in the media knew it was coming. Someone reported on Tweety
being glum a week or so ago, and saying something about some bad news for Obama. I'm just paraphrasing, I don't watch Tweety but those that do can verify.

70. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
What fascinates me is that these tapes were on sale and the media took THIS long to give them a look.

This is the clearest proof yet that Obama got a pass.

33. I wonder if this will be enough to make James Dobson change his mind and support McCain.
Wouldn't that be just lovely, that in reaction to Jeremy Wright's vilification of America, Dobson calls upon all good Christian soldiers to rally around McCain for the patriotic love of America.

Yeah, just super f*ckin' lovely. :sarcasm:

42. Let no one try and convince you otherwise about this "preacher"
wright was obama's "MENTOR" and based his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called "Audacity to Hope," --also the inspiration for Obama's second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope." but obama trying to hide the most reverand wright decided at the last minute not to let him open the campaign with a prayer in Springfield, Illinois.

A campaign can spin on a dime and go from good to bad and obama and wright only offer audacity of bigotry and ignorance.

I take no happiness from this but I did say last year this campaign would soon divide about race, and it has, but instead of blaming the clintons for playing the race card, it seems it was obama and his campaign.....

79. Since he's in the lead, that perception you are suggesting is held by the minority.
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 10:34 PM by AtomicKitten
And really just by bitter people that refuse to accept reality. And, in the end, the majority rules.

Gawd I love the smell of democracy in the morning!

78. So, the story is this:
One of Barak's close personal mentors made disparaging remarks about the history of this country? With Barak having stated, on the record, that he doesn't agree with much of Wright's opinions or rhetoric *before* the "story" broke?

Not seeing the problem here.

Where I guess it *might* be a problem would be in the mindset of Hillary supporters, where dissent is crushed, opponents lashed out at, and there is no such thing as calmly agreeing to disagree, and remaining close.

Barak's not that kind of candidate, he's already on record that he's more than happy to hear Hillary's opinions, even though he may disagree with her.

Oh, and BTW, I got a measly 32 articles from that search.

Compare to Clinton's 2,671 articles about her "apology".

It may have legs, we shall see (if for no other reason than watching a pastor use "damn" as something other than a curse word, and/or people who know nothing about american history freaking out about chickens).

84. He's not done. But Hil is toast. And has been since she lost Texas.
This is the last throes of a dying campaign trying to stay alive with a burnt-earth strategy.

She needs to accede and show her party loyalty. At this point she is only giving ammunition to the Repukes for the GE.

Was made an issue a few weeks ago and more was talked about it 24 hours ago and still nothing.

97. No, the real truth will emerge.
The truth is that Obama has disavowed and denounced the batshit-insane stuff that Wright's said.

The truth is that Obama and Wright are not in bed with each other.

The truth is that any monetary donations are as innocent as you or me putting money in the collection plate in our own places of worship.

The truth is that this story doesn't have real legs.

The truth is that Obama didn't do anything wrong.
