Remember when Obama supporters were pissed off at being called homophobic |
|
for defending Obama over the South Carolina Gospel controversy?
Is it fair to say that some (SOME, NOT ALL) Obama supporters are attempting to broadbrush Hillary supporters, in the same fashion, as racist because of various opposing views about the Rev Wright affair?
If you didn't like being called homophobic, because you thought it was a simplistic generalization, try to keep that in mind before you make similar accusations against people that disagree with you over Wright.
Just as there were people who defended Obama over McClurkin who were indeed homophobes, there were plenty others who were not. It's far more complicated than that.
The same holds true for Hillary supporters and the Wright situation.
(note: I kind of like Wright. I would attend his sermons. I think the rants that are perceived to be anti American are more of a bad political problem than anything else. While I don't agree with everything the man says, I'm far from offended by him.)

1. The posts I've seen don't accuse her of racism, but of exploiting race... |
|
...for her personal political gain.

4. I'm referring to various |
|
Obama supporters who, with great vituperation and faux moral superiority, dismiss anyone who disagrees with them on the Wright affair as "racist."

5. That's what I've seen also, CW. Some posters express that as racism but...It's worse. |
|
The Clinton's keep attempting to run Obama against John McCain, white America, The Rev, Wright and himself.
The one person they don't want Obama running against is Hillary Clinton, because he keeps defeating her.
