Obama said that men of Wright's generation were bitter

[George_Bonanza]

And due to this bitterness, they said things like, "God damn America"! Where's the outrage in that? I guess it's okay to supposedly talk down to Blacks because they're inferior anyway.

1. That is a good point.

No one took offense to him using the word bitter in that context.

But of course the media was busy trying to see if people would buy into the "Obama is a wild eyed radical" memo.

2. your post is confused.

and you forgot this: :sarcasm: please edit.

i cannot accept that obama is being attacked for saying things that are thoughtful & true, & speaking to us as if we were adults who understand nuance.

i'm not surprised, though. after 8 years of *, big words & actual thinking are utterly alien. i'm disappointed in america's maturity level. again.

5. Yeah it is totally acceptable to think those who died in the field in Pennsylvania deserved it.

Fuck Wright.
Edited to fix spelling ruined by anger. Double fuck Wright. Maybe he will pay for America's sins himself someday. Maybe St. Barry can explain to the families why their family members "deserved " to die in that Pennsylvania field.
