Obama to Wright: WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[Seeker30]

:spank:

[Yossariant]

1. Best thread title EVER!

:rofl:

[beezlebum]

6. i guess if you have the sense of humor of about a 6th grader...

other than that, seeker seems a tad on the obsessed side this morning.

[rodeodance]

12. engage in a discussion without personal insults. Now that would be nice.

[Yossariant]

15. I understand that you're feeling a tad defensive this morning. There's an epidemic here at DU.

:toast:

[beezlebum]

17. yeah- it's called delusion and "poor-white-guy" racism.

so sorry but, while i am often amused by the former, i am utterly incensed by the latter.

[Yossariant]

23. I wouldn't have said that you are delusional, but you know yourself better than I

So since you say so, I accept that you are delusional.

I'm not sure if delusional people have momentary lapses into reality.

Must be grim if it happens.

:scared:

[beezlebum]

26. dupe

[beezlebum]

27. more sixth grade humor/insult?

groan. i can do that too: -->:eyes:

[Saturday]

2. I don't support Obama but I want Wright to STFU too. nt

[oviedodem]

3. He probably already has said something to that effect but sadly it won't matter.

[LakeSamish706]

4. Not to likely, but nice try... I think that Obama is probably in the background saying "YES"...

Go get em Doctor Rev. Wright....

[Saturday]

8. You must be kidding. Obama sinks lower with every word Wright says. nt

[LakeSamish706]

11. So as a Hillary supporter, your problem with this is? n/t

[faithfulcitizen]

30. God, I hope not.

[rainy]

5. Why should anyone speaking the truth STFU?

[Honeycombe8]

14. There is a time and place for everything. Wright is on an ego trip, recognizing...

that he is hurting Obama's chances in the race to be President, but choosing to take advantage of his newfound national fame. After Obama does not throw Wright under the bus, Wright repays him in this way.

Wright is basically excoriating against white people and injustices...activism. There is nothing wrong with this. But the timing could not be worse. Obama is at this moment trying to get white votes. His chance of being successful at that is hurt now.

There is a time and place for things. I believe this has cost Obama the nomination. Who wants to see this guy giving national speeches every week, which is what may happen if Obama gets elected.

[Cassandra]

37. That's quite a spin.

Wright is excoriating the power structure in this country that has taken an imperialistic bent for over 100 years (read "War is a Racket"). That that power structure has been white is not the main point, but it's one you're fixated on. I thought all good Democrats were against the imperialism that is draining our country, but apparently, some can't get around their fears of the boogyman, whatever faith or color he might be.

[Seeker30]

40. Most truthful post today

[guruoo]

53. Ahh, because it might cause truth to lose the election?

[CBGLuthier]

7. Coming up now Sammy Davis Jr. visits the Bunkers

Feel free to change the channel to a funny, singing, dancing black man if that is more to your tastes.

[ShortnFiery]

9. Obama won't do that because he has faith that WE can employ "critical thinking"

instead of DOGMATIC rhetoric.

I know it's difficult but we can "consider the full context."

God Bless Rev. Wright! :grouphug:

[guruoo]

51. It's going to take more than the 'critical thinker' vote to win this election.

[rucky]

10. If this sinks Obama...

at least we know where America stands on race relations, and we've had some truth (among plenty of lies) told in the process.

That was a great f-ing speech - damn the political consequences.

[chimpymustgo]

13. I started out thinking, this is informative and good - but as the speech wore on, he fell back on

racist bullshit about differences in learning. If a WHITE man said that, he'd be run out of the country. Why - because it's CRAZY talk!

He does seem to be quite the egomaniac, too.

[rucky]

21. I went to school for urban education

and taught 5th grade at an all black school. The reasons behind the differences may be debatable, but the differences are undeniable.

[JoFerret]

44. Obama is not served by this man

and his views at this time.

Which actually seems very unfair to me.

[faithfulcitizen]

18. As an Obama supporter, I totally disagree. The political consequences are far too important now.

[rucky]

24. Too late.

so now what do we do?

[faithfulcitizen]

33. Pray.

[rucky]

38. "There are people committed to changing the way we treat each other."

I think part of the solution is to become one of those people.

[faithfulcitizen]

48. Sorry Rucky, I do think Obama is "one of those people" but not Wright. He's hurt our guy today.

[HereSince1628]

20. Unfortunately, we have an inkling of where America is with race relations

It isn't as good as we would like. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as some fear it is.

[Doityourself]

Forget the pundits. May 6th will be the first testing ground...

47. Tell the mods. I'm sure they could use the laugh.

[navarth]

29. well spoken. Rev. Wright shoud keep on keepin' on

"wright is not a racist. wright should MOST DEFINITELY NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP. and as far as i am concerned he is nothing short of an asset to obama and it is a SAD CRYING PATHETIC SHAME that in order to appease crybaby white ppl, obama has had to distance himself from a man with such gripping perspective and powerful insight."

abso fucking lutely. could not agree more.

[polmaven]

57. May I have a definition of

where, exactly "here" is?

Are you referring to Democratic Underground or Obama Underground?

Believe it or not, they are not one and the same.

[beezlebum]

61. groan. "here" as in "here you are" or "here you go" or "this bud's for you."

it is curious the tough time hillary supporters, a-hem, "here" on DU seem to have with context...

[polmaven]

64. Well, a comma or two

might help. You'd be surprised what puntctuation can do.

[beezlebum]

66. uh-huh, comment on typos after the reference has disappeared.

i guess it figures someone might have some obscure interpretation of "here though {colon}" (colon implying the offering of substance, {comma} which rodeodance requested...)

[Seeker30]

19. Wright has a book coming out in a few weeks

He is exploiting Obama and you obama's are falling for it hook line and sinker.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

28. agreed, I am not coddling him any more. He went to the press to start this shit storm

its over for me, I'm not making excuses or explanations for this man any more.

Crap! selfish jerk he couldn't wait - he has a book to promote.

[navarth]

32. this is sheer idiocy

He already has all the promotion he would ever need for a book. He's trying to do good here.

Try again.

[MonkeyFunk]

31. No doubt that's true

watching him taking questions at the Press Club. As entertaining as he is, he's not helping Obama.

[rodeodance]

34. My guess is that Obama wanted to put this issue behind him.--

[MonkeyFunk]

36. This is why it must be frustrating for him

it pretty much WAS behind him - and then Wright shows up, and shows up big time. MSNBC said he's got a book coming out in a few months, and that'll just keep it going.

[rodeodance]

63. a book . Figures--as someone said--Wright is the gift that keeps on giving--to the Repug party.

[Catchawave]

35. Wright just threw the Marine Corps under the bus....

comparing them to the Roman Legion that killed Jesus !?

:wtf:

[BigDDem]

39. Keep talking "Reverend!"

:rofl:

[uponit7771]

41. Hate truth much?

[SeaLyons]

42. Whether you agree with Wright or not...

what he has done is VERY divisive and has greatly harmed Obama.

[beezlebum]

45. in. what. way.

in what way is anything wright has said or done divisive?

[madrchsod]

49. let them count the ways.........

[SeaLyons]

62. ...

Like it or not, AA's are a minority in this country. Obama is not running just for black America. The timing of Wright speaking out will tend to turn-off middle America. People are paying nearly $4 for gas, going broke at the grocery store, worrying about an unjustified war, worring about health care, and frankly, most white Americans don't have the energy left to worry about AA's anger towards them right now. America embraced Obama, and now are getting slapped around by Wright. It's not going to work in Obama's favor.

Wright is divisive. He's thrown Obama under the bus. He's arrogant in his delivery and he has ignited a doubt that Obama is any different from his pastor.

[JoFerret]

43. Obama has Wright

And Hill has Bill.

[Seeker30]

72. I'll take Bill any day

[madrchsod]

46. where else do you post these pearls of wisdom?

or do you just bless us with your insightful commentary on race in America...

i was reading a site the other day where their members were expressing their opinion of rev wright in the same manner you are. maybe you should try their forum also, i`m sure you will be received as well as you are here.

[frickaline]

50. I really think he's hurting Obama's campaign by speaking to the media this much

He's free to do as he likes of course, and he's certainly going to get invitations to speak various places, but having him open his mouth does nothing but widen the divide. His views are extremely liberal to the point of disowning his own country. Obama is trying to distance himself from the idea that he's somehow unpatriotic and aligning himself with this man won't help in that cause. Given that this country was founded on the idea of separation of church and state, I'd like to see this man step quietly out of the limelight, but I know that's not going to happen.

54. The problem with asking someone to shut up is that you are in your own shoes...

If someone was tar and feathering you, would you just shut the fuck up? I don't think so. No man is greater than another. Stop with the histrionics. You would defend yourself too.

[wowimthere]

56. anyone who thinks this will sink Obama is worrying about the wrong thing...

If you truly do not blame Obama for his pastor... that is if you do not believe that obama is his brother's keeper then you vote for Obama on his own merits. Anyone who finds this the death nail isn't looking at how we got into this war. Wright is a side issue and we should take it at that. It's the media's way of having fun with us because we are a captive audience. We should be laughing at how silly the media is. I laugh about this every day. If you were leaning toward Obama but decided to vote against Obama because of something Rev. Wright said then you were looking for an excuse not to vote for him.

And if this is the case then you should be asking yourself why you would vote for someone who authorized a war that has cost our country human life.

It is racist to continue to denigrate an African American pastor who preaches from the bible and then give other religious leaders, candidates who support fire brand religious leaders a free pass when they do the same thing.

[Kajsa]

55. Obama is now indirectly ( or directly) held

responsible for everything Wright has to say.

It's crazy!

It's guilt by association, even when Obama condemned
many of the statements Wright made.

:(

[Swamp Rat]

58. I guess you are not a member of the NAACP.

:D

[polmaven]

65. The OP may not be a member of the NAACP,

but I'm quite sure he/she is not a member of the KKK either. It is absolutely DISGUSTING that you are even trying to suggest that!

[Swamp Rat]

68. Where did I suggest the OP is a member of the KKK? Post the evidence right here.

Don't just accuse me of it. Prove it.

Rev. Wright spoke at a NAACP convention yesterday, and most folks there, and here, loved his speech.

I'll tell you what is disgusting. It's all the accusations being flung about here.

[polmaven]

69. That disgusting montage

with Limbaugh (I think it is Limbaugh...looks horrid enough to be...) balloon, showing up in that particular post is very much a subliminal suggestion to the poster to whom you were responding, and particularly with that response.

I'm sure you will deny it, but it is.

I'm sure "most folks" in GDP loved his speech, but I am not convinced "most" DUers did...even the Obama supporters.

[Swamp Rat]

70. So, you're a mind reader?

You based your accusation on a metaphysical ability? :wow:

"I'm sure you will deny it, but it is." - Case closed! Book 'em Danno! :rofl:

Btw, that pic has shown up in a lot of threads today because I want a lot of people to see it. "That disgusting montage" came from Rush Limbaugh's website. Of course I added in his opinion of Obama.

I heard him numerous times use the terms "halfrican" and "magic negro" when referring to Obama, so I decided to concentrate my energy on exposing his hatred to those who do not normally listen to him.

Oh, please click on more of my posts, so you can see even more "disgusting" and "subliminal" images. :)

FYI, I have magical mind reading abilities too! I had a seance the other night. Hitler told me to "vote for McCain." What an ass!

[Seeker30]

73. Thank you. The only thing I'm a member of is the PBA

That would be the Professional Bowlers Association...since 1995.

[Armstead]

59. That would be rude -- It should be: Would you please shut the fuck up?

[Catherine Vincent]

60. I wish folks here on DU would stop talking about him.

I'm sort of sick of hearing about him.

[Seabiscuit]

67. ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

K&R!

:applause:

[Beacool]

71. Yep, it's Christmas in April!!!!!

:rofl:

[hans]

74. Hans to Wright. Keep on talking. Obama will be fine. N/T
