have been out of touch this week--what is this thing about wright?

[niyad]

[scheming daemons]

1. No biggie... A close friend of Obama's is an asshole...and they're trying to attach the stink to BHO

..

[Eurobabe]

35. thanks for clearing that up

I've been out of town and then test prep for today, haven't been on DU much this week.

BTW, my scheming Daemon thanks you! :hi:

[David Dunham]

2. Obama said Wright is his "mentor." Very close connection. Big trouble.

[LSparkle]

6. We all have "black sheep" in our families ... he can distance himself

from Wright by coming out squarely against the sermon comments that are
burning up YouTube. I doubt that every sermon Wright gave was as fiery
as the one(s) being spread all over the 'net -- I'd like to know the
specifics of these. (Were these at regular church services? What was
the context?)

[book_worm]

3. His pastor who has said some stupid things and they think they can tie them to Obama

it won't. Obama will handle it just fine. What it will do is alienate Hillary even more from African-American voters many of whom have deep roots in their religion and they will see this as the Clinton's trying to attack Obama thru his church. If she's the nominee she will have a hard time generating a big turnout in November among African-Americans and that will hurt the party as a whole.

4. Him and his brother flew the first airplane. Lead to big changes in the way people travel.

8. Excellent!

:rofl:

[Scurrilous]

5. LOL

I guess you haven't been watching Inside Edition.

[niyad]

9. I don't watch any msm except KO

[azmouse]

12. Better hide. You'll get attacked for watching KO too.

Don'tcha know he's sexist and hates Hillary.

:sarcasm:

[TomInTib]

7. I have been wondering the same.

I miss out on a lot of things by sleeping late and living on the Left Coast.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. It's About A Risk To The Obama Campaign That Might Force Hillary As The Nominee.

Obama may be too damaged to run in the GE now.

His 20 year pastor, the man who married them, baptized his children was his self proclaimed mentor, spiritual adviser, and inspiration for his second book, had videos of himself (pastor) ranting like a lunatic, blaming 9/11 on america, saying we should sing "God damn america" instead of god bless america, and other things that are a RW'ers wet dream.

Using these videos/statements along with Obama's praise and closeness to him, tied with the flag pin incident, the hand over heart incident, and his wife's comments incident, is enough to forge a swiftboating campaign the likes of which we've never seen. If Obama doesn't make this go away NOW, by issuing one hell of a brilliant response, then I think he's done as it relates to getting the nomination. Nothing about Hillary is as bad as the swiftboating campaign they could now concoct with the above. Nothing.

[azmouse]

13. That'll only happen in your dreams.

[jaxx]

14. This must be the "talking points"

I heard the same thing from some pubs, practically word for word.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Exactly.

Without your even realizing you did so, you just totally proved my point.

This is bad news. We need to figure out how to squash it NOW.

[jaxx]

17. No, I wondered why they were being posted here.

I don't believe them, do you?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Open Your Mind. It Isn't About You And It Isn't About Me.

We both can have confidence that each of us will vote for the Dem in November. What matters are the people who AREN'T steadfast democrats or found on DU. And if you don't think the combination of all those things could be used in a powerful way to affect and manipulate the minds of those people, then you haven't much been paying attention to just about anything these past years.

Please, wake up a little.

[jaxx]

20. Save the sermon.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. Pretty Sad That's All You Were Left With In Response. You Should've Admitted You Were Bested.

That way, you wouldn't continue to look silly. :hi:

[jaxx]

24. Never bested.

Those replies remind me of Hillary's 15 mins of never ending talking over the top of others thinking she'll get her way and the message will be as she dictates.
Ain't no way.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. Actually You Were. Quite Readily I May Add.

You posted a knee jerk and thoughtless response that I was able to explain away quite easily and readily, thereby showing you to be closed minded and reactionary, while unable to actually refute the context or logical points raised. In fact, you've got nothing.

So yeah, you've been best. Maybe you should wake up a little.

[apocalypsehow]

16. It's about some Democrats proving they are every bit as vile as Rethugs with their swift-boating.

It is a non-story, ginned up by Obama's Democratic opponent and her sycophants in an attempt to smear him.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. You Can Call It A Non Story All You Want. In Real Life, The Story Is A Huge Threat.

If you want to keep your head in the sand go right ahead. But as a real Democrat who care passionately about winning in November, I refuse to take such a naive and ignorant stance on the issue.

[apocalypsehow]

21. Your "concern" is noted, and dismissed with the contempt it is due.

:thumbsdown:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. If You Want To Be Blind, No One Can Stop You. But You're Hurting Our Party.

Ignorance will not help us win the GE. I hope when the time comes, you wake up and join those of us who actually care about winning.

[apocalypsehow]

26. I guess you don't read so well, so I'll give it another go: your "concern" is noted, and dismissed

with the contempt it is due.

I hope you read slower, or better, or something, this time. Thanks.

I hope you read slower, or better, or something, this time - retake #4. Thanks to years of Republican neglect, the primary education system in this country needs some serious attention. Encounters like this confirm it.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

39. Well, You Certainly Lost That Battle Of Wits. God Are You Easy To Manipulate.

Looks like the one who doesn't read so well, is you.

(and no, the comma instead of a period doesn't quite make a difference LOL)

[apocalypsehow]

40. Since my opponent is half-armed, I don't know what you could possibly be referring to. Nice try.

n/t.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

41. If You Knew How To Read, Instead Of How To Knee Jerk, You'd See Why.

Yup. Jokes on you pal! :hi:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

42. Uh-huh. Give it another try, and this time read slower. Or better. Or something.

The "jokes" on somebody alright - I just don't think you quite grasp who that is...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

43. Is This Seriously Still Going Over Your Head? ROFLMAO!!!

C'mon, try and read my earlier reply slower, or better, or something, ok? :hi:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

46. Nah - your cutesy kiddy-pie games remind me of a kindergarten class. Doesn't change the fact

that you seem incapable of grasping the antecedent point of my reply to your post, or do much else than post reams and reams of drivel in response to it. As I said, the "jokes" on someone alright....

You know how to post nice smilies and "rofl" guys, though, so I guess that's something.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

48. You Lost. You Were Guilty Of Your Own Accusation. You Were Too Easy To Manipulate.

Too easy.

That was fun, wasn't it?

:rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

52. I "lost"? LOL! What, exactly? Some folks take discussion board banter WAY too seriously.

:eyes:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

54. Yes, You Did. It Was Fun While It Lasted Though!

Course, in the end you showed yourself to be someone who needs to read slower, or better, or something, and one who was way too easy to get to fall into a trap. You made it too easy.

Let's face it: Our roundabout game had to come to an end somehow. You think we'd spend an eternity just copying and pasting forever and ever, neither one of us allowing the other to get the last paste? You know you would've done it another 10 times if ya had to, cause at the end of the day you were being as childish as I was in playing the game. But I knew it should only go so far, and wit would have to get involved if it were to come to an end. And in the end, I outwitted your ass and played you for a sucker. I know it hurts, but you'll heal LOL

[apocalypsehow]

60. It was quite entertaining to see a childish mind at work - someone who counts a "win" as something

performed on a discussion board. Sad in an adult kind of way, though. Presuming you're an adult.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

63. Sounds Like You're A Sore Loser To Me. ROFLMAO!

:rofl:

And yeah, this is totally childish. Good way to pass some time.

But if you'll notice, you're still actually 100% willing to keep this subthread going in all its childish and stupid glory, instead of just walking away like an adult would. So tell me, what exactly does that say about you? :hi:

[apocalypsehow]

65. It says we both probably have too much time on our hands this afternoon.

:hi:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

44. Here: Let Me Spoon Feed You...

My earlier reply was:

"If You Want To Be Blind, No One Can Stop You. But You're Hurting Our Party.

Sucker.

[haymakeragain]

45. Wow, that last one was totally...........na, na, na, na, na, na............

Wow.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

47. Ehhhh. Just Havin Fun. Was Humoring Myself Though!

I just know simple minds all too well. Knew he'd fall into the trap, because those who don't think, well, just simply don't think. So yeah, I was definitely being a tad childish, but all in good fun and just to humor myself (as well as to turn his own point around on him quite skillfully). :)

[apocalypsehow]

55. "I was definitely being a tad childish" - Heh. Quod erat demonstrandum.

n/t.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

57. Psssssttttt.... Hey...... Guess What Pal..... You Were Too....

The only difference is, in the end I knew it had to be brought to an end, and used wit to do so. Since you don't think, don't read, and are an amateur, you feel for it hook line and sinker. That upsets you. I understand that. I wouldn't much want to be in your position right now either. :hi:

[apocalypsehow]

49. "Sucker" - case in point. Has kindergarten days written all over it. Not surprising that a poster

who seems to spend their entire life posting on a discussion board would be entertained by such juvenalia. :eyes:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

51. Maybe Next Time You Should Read Slower, Or Better, Or Something, And You Wouldn't Be One.

:rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

53. Oh, I read the entire post alright. The addendum was irrelevant, so I ignored it. Joke's on you, I'm

afraid. You just don't seem to have the mental faculties to recognize it...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

56. ROFLMAO!!!!!

Yeah, like there's ONE person on this board that's gonna buy that LOL.

Who do you think you're kidding? :rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

58. Some folks are easily entertained by childish things. You appear to be one of them.

Guess it keep you from playing in traffic. :shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

59. You Were Right There With Me.

But in the end, you proved to not only be a child, but also a fool. :hi:

Out. Witted.

[apocalypsehow]

62. Nah - you still don't seem able to read. You never replied to my post, and now you act as if you've

"won" a teddy bear at a carnival. It really is quite fascinating to see a person drool all over some clever "trick" they think they've pulled on a discussion board.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

66. I Replied To Every Post You've Made To Me. Maybe You Need To Read Slower, Or Better, Or Something.

:rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

68. My wife asked what's taking so long (we're supposed to meet friends for drinks & dinner in a bit).

I told her "someone's wrong on the internet" (Gawd, I wish I had that image in photobucket). She told me to get my ass in gear. Later.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

69. Have A Good Night Bro. Enjoy Your Dinner And Drive Safe!

[no name no slogan]

64. It's such a huge threat that NOBODY outside of the blogosphere and tabloid TV

has even heard about it, much less cares about it.

Wright is the scandal of the week. I'm sure by next week we'll be on to something else.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

67. Maybe If You Got Out More, You'd See That's Not Quite True.

People are getting wind of this. Furthermore, this hasn't even yet begun. We won't see it's true impact until the GE, once it is put into the RW attack machine and spit out as one of the most powerful propaganda pieces they've used to date.

From now till then, Obama has to do what he must to make sure this issue is totally eradicated from their use. I'm not sure how or by doing what, but he needs to. This is huge ammunition to use against him in the GE.

[no name no slogan]

70. So says the person who posts 100+ posts in GDP per day

I AM out more. And nobody I've spoken to gives two shits about the things GDP gets its tits in a wringer about.

Now, maybe if Hillary cried again, or if McClurkin spoke at another rally, somebody outside of the internets could possibly give a shit.

25. Just Hillarites and DLCers working hard to lose the Black vote permanently

and the Progressive vote and the Independent vote and the Crossover vote.
