Obama tied to another racist, homophobe who is supposedly an Obama superdelegate

[jackson_dem]

Prepare to duck your head in the sand...

Again, as expected, Obama "denounces" Meeks but there is a pattern here (McClurkin, Wright, Meeks, and so on). These characters, along with Farrakhan, are all gravitating to Obama. Will Obama reject his support as a superdelegate?

-snip-

And now Fox’s ire-inducing Sean Hannity & Alan Colmes have turned their attention to another Obama “spiritual counselor,” Reverend James Meeks, a state Senator who spends his free time blasting the bent boys and girls. Obama’s camp already denounced the remarks, saying:

-snip-

Meeks, who’s closely associated with anti-gay groups like Americans for Truth and Focus On The Family, told a reporter during his 2006 gubernatorial run that he’s the perfect candidate for conservative white voters: “Theologically, politically, for the white conservative voter, I’m their guy. I have their philosophy.” That philosophy became his common call during that year, when he was swiftly defeated:

-snip-

There’s a fundamental difference between blacks and whites… We would leave a meeting like that and a black person would say, ‘Let’s do something.’ White people leave a meeting saying, ‘Let’s plan something.’ That’s what they want to do. White people want to plan something.

Meanwhile, like Wright, Meeks has come under fire for using the pulpit to dispense racialized opinions, even referring to mayors as “slave masters” and some unnamed politicians as “house niggers, comments for which he’s since apologized. Here’s the video of that report:

[RememberWellstone]

1. Not surprising

Pandora's box is officially open.

[AX10]

2. All the crap that you can find on HRC has been outed and...

talked to death, as the saying goes.
Obama is fresh meat for the right wing.

[jackson_dem]

3. And Clinton can't be tied to anything as politically explosive as racism against 75% of voters

Obama should have rejected Wright 20 years ago and never should have crawled into political bed with Meeks, not to mention Donnie. It is funny how some buy his "unity" rhetoric. No true uniter gives a bigot thirty minutes to spew hate at a campaign event.

[stevietheman]

4. Please stop the attacks on our nominee Barack Obama. n/t

n/t

[jackson_dem]

5. This isn't the China or Belarus. No single person has the power to shut down dissent in the media

As much as Obamites would love this to be so. ;)

[rodeodance]

15. STOP the SPAM--you go from tread to tread with the same post

[bellasgrams]

28. He's not 'our nominee', I used to think he just needed more

time to learn, but after all this dust up, with his feelings on this country, his feelings toward white people, he doesn't deserve to be a senator and should resign his position.

[zabet]

36. Are you lying again are do you have a link

to back up your assumption that
Obama is the nominee?

He isn't. You can't. It's a lie.

[emilyg]

69. He is NOT our nominee.

[JoFerret]

74. Stevie baby....

...premature electulation there

[maximusveritas]

6. Passing on another smear from Hannity I see

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

[jackson_dem]

7. Hannity runs queerty.com?

Maybe Obama should have practiced what he preached and never given a bigot thirty minutes to spew hate at a campaign event? I suspect if that had not happened this would not be posted at queerty.com

[maximusveritas]

17. Did you read your own post? They got it from Hannity

He's the only one running this story.

[jackson_dem]

20. And? He was the "only one" running pastorgate too

Obama supporters think they can duck their head in the sand and make anything they don't want to hear about Obama go away. Too bad that isn't how the real world works. What will Obama's response be to this?

[Alexander]

26. Yes, and pastorgate was bullshit, too.

Sorry, but you show your true allegiance when you repeatedly source crap from Hannity.

[rodeodance]

32. there is a video for you downstream

[Alexander]

43. So? A candidate isn't defined by who endorses them.

Otherwise, I'd guess Hillary is a ranting, raving, lying, rabid racist nutcase, based on many of her endorsers here at DU.

[rodeodance]

45. pastor gate worked so well for him didn't it.

[Alexander]

49. Yes, it did. He went up in the polls and it's now a distant memory. Glad to see you agree.

[rodeodance]

53. and lost votes. No I do not agree so stop ASSuming you think I agree. You look foolish

[Alexander]

73. The only people who cared about Wright wouldn't have voted for him anyway.

Scary black man and all that.

As for looking foolish, I can't hold a candle to your daily idiocy.

[walldude]

27. Nope wasn't just Hannity runnning "pastorgate"

it was also O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, Carlson, and all the other white people who can't seem to get a grip on their own racism.

Yes that's what Obama does, he hides his head in the sand, he certainly flubbed the response to Wright... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh wait, it's his "supporters" who are hiding their heads in the sand. Well, then it's a good thing they aren't running for office. Whew, you had me worried there...

angry racist rant! He just endorsed Obama. I am beginning to wonder, Just how transending is Obama?



Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "has been linked to another controversial pastor, this time a declared spiritual adviser who has called white American mayors 'slave masters,' and referred to black preachers and politicians who 'protect' the 'white man' as 'house n-ggers'," Aaron Klein wrote March 23, 2008, for WorldNetDaily.

Meeks is pastor of Chicago's 20,000-member Salem Baptist Church; an Illinois Senator and superdelegate "pledged to Obama"; "has served as an executive vice president for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH organization"; and "has reportedly campaigned for Obama and allowed Obama to campaign at his church" in May 2006, as well as "during the presidential candidate's 2004 senatorial run". A "recent Meeks endorsement of Obama is touted on the presidential candidate's campaign website," Klein wrote.

In an August 2006 sermon originally broadcast on "a Chicago community television channel," that was broadcast March 20, 2008, by Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes," the Rev. Meeks said "We don't have slave masters, we got mayors."

Continued Meeks in the sermon: "But they are still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able to be educated. You got some preachers that are house n-ggers. You got some elected officials that are house n-ggers. Rather than them try and break this up, they're gonna fight you to protect that white man."

Meeks at the time was lashing out at Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley over public-school funding issues.

With regard to his use of foul language, Meeks stated: "The N-word is not in the African-American community a bad word. It's a term of endearment. And I don't see it as derogatory or defensive, offensive."

According to reports, shortly after his 2006 tirade, Meeks endorsed a Rainbow/PUSH call for blacks to stop using the N-word.

[maximusveritas]

51. That video is from 2 years ago; it was just picked up by Hannity 4 days ago

and now Hillary supporters and other right-wingers are trying to spread it around the net.
Again, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[rodeodance]

19. I saw it on several blogs. How would you know Hannity is involved?

[walldude]

Because.. it says so right in the second paragraph? n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

8. jackson_dem - go over there..

http://tinyurl.com/38upa3

I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms since you really agree with them.

And also, please provide proof that Meeks is a SD, or even an advisor to Obama.

[rodeodance]

38. according to this--Meeks is on BO website--ck it out

10. I'm glad Etheridge and many other gay rights activists have a better understanding of the issues

than you and realize that and are supporting the candidate who wants to repeal DOMA.

[jackson_dem]

14. He is losing GLBT voters something like 2:1, and that was before his slide over the past month

It may be 75-25 now.

Obama's promise on DOMA isn't worth a penny. He has proven he puts political gain above gay rights. The idea that he is going to spend political capital, if he somehow manages to win, on gay rights is fantasy.

30. This Meeks is bad news.

Just read the page you linked to. I followed up by going to this link that was referenced: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=410

Obama has surrounded himself with some pretty shady spiritual advisors. I guess he just turns a deaf ear to the homophobia.

[AX10]

33. How did Meeks get to be an SD, if that is true at all.

[goodgd_yall]

39. I didn't verify that

I don't know if he is or not. I just find that Obama's calling him a spiritual counselor to be upsetting enough.

[goodgd_yall]

71. He's an Illinois state senator

He says all the anti-gay stuff when he's giving a sermon at his church. He even said something about "Hollywood Jews" being responsible for "Brokeback Mountain." What a piece of work!

I can't find him on a superdelegate list. He was one in 2004 apparently.

Hey, Its like Rummy says: "You don't go into a presidential campaign with the super delegates you wished you had, you go with what you got."
