Please ! Someone explain to me

[mindfulNJ]

why Obama is responsible for everything that has ever come out of the mouth of his pastor, and Clinton and McCain are not for theirs ???

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

1. It's hilarious when white folks pretend to not be aware of the "black rules"...

... It's one nice form of racism-denial. Everybody in America knows that any black person is responsible for anything said or done by any black person anywhere.

It's just how America is, despite the feigned ignorance by the very group that reinforces it.

[EffieBlack]

23. Yet when a black person does something admirable, the response is "Well, isn't HE something?!"

"He's so REMARKABLE!"

[BlooInBloo]

27. A credit to his race, even. But it's all immediately forgotten...

... It takes 10 "atta boys" to make up for one "aw shit", after all.

[Voltaire]

29. And he speaks so WELL

I get the same crap. Its cute for awhile, but it got old when I was 20. I am 49 now.

[MNDemNY]

2. Too bad "why" is irrelevant.

Obama is stuck with this albatross.

[bdamomma]

3. the media has alot to do with this.

is the media "swift boating" Obama now?

[mindfulNJ]

21. I think you know

the answer to that.

[bdamomma]

25. unfortunately I do.

[Texas Hill Country]

4. DAMN, how many explanations need to be made as to why Wright is important?

srsly?

[mindfulNJ]

6. yes seriously.

Why is McCain getting a free pass on Hagee??? Are you seriously OK with THAT?

[BobbyVan]

7. Is Hagee McCain's pastor and spiritual advisor?

[Innocent Smith]

12. No he is not

But McCain did seek out his endorsement.

[uponit7771]

14. No, but Rod "America exist to destroy Islam..." Parsley sure the fuck is

[mindfulNJ]

16. Hagee has endorsed McCain...and he accepted it happily.

The man has said(among MANY other outrgeous things) that Hurricane Katrina was God's judgement on New Orleans for having a Gay pride parade! The media seem to be just fine with McCain's close association with this lunatic. Nothing Wright has said comes anywhere NEAR that man's disgusting statements.

[newmajority]

17. McCain has described him and Parsely both as "spiritual advisors"

Parsely is a Dominionist Nazi who literally believes that the world must be forced into a theocracy in order to bring back Jesus Christ. Hillary's prayer group "The Fellowship" are also domionists, by the way.

Hagee is a Zionist Extremist whose vision of Israel goes way beyond even the Likudists in Israel. He believes that Israel's borders must literally be the Nile and Euphrates rivers before Christ can return.

These are the people advising John "100 years of war" McCain, and as I said, similar people are advising Hillary Clinton.

Give me a thousand Jeremiah Wrights over any one of those freak Nazis anytime.

[polmaven]

35. Where have you seen ANYONE

on DU say ANYTHING about being OK with Hagee????? :shrug:

[Bensthename]

11. Sounds like you know. I must have missed it. Please tell me..

Why?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. One.

One good one.

[blm]

30. Wright didn't cause 9-11, but BCCI dealings did and you want BCCI thugs protected.

.

[LSK]

37. because people are shit for brains and cant leave religion as a private thing?

I dont give a fuck what Reverend Wright says, it will not affect Obama when it comes to taxes, civil rights, foreign policy. This issue is such fucking bullshit. America needs to GROW THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Because he's black

White pastors are fine, but scary black pastors need closer examination my the corporate-media.

[goddess40]

8. Those in power always sterotype everyone they see as inferior

it's done to maintain their power.

When I worked in the prison system I cringed anytime a women screwed up, and sometime screwed was the only word to use, in any of the institutions. I knew it had nothing to do with me but that a minority of officers would openly hold it as proof that all women shouldn't be working their and the quiet majority would say nothing - there by reinforcing the lies.

[Sweet Pea]

9. Association and judgment

Simple as that. Oh-BAH-ma! is not responsible for Wright's verbal foolhardiness, but it reflects very clearly on the judgment of Oh-BAH_ma! and the sorts of people he associates with and chooses to hitch his wagon to - people such as Wright and his claims of the government being behind 9/11 and the AIDS virus and Ayers who is a domestic terrorist and Resko who is a first class slime ball and slum lord. Who else is out there?

Judgment and personal accountability. Its important to some people. Like me.

I'll be slammed for being a racist, no doubt.....*sigh*

[mindfulNJ]

22. What's with the

"Oh BAH ma"?

:wtf:

[Sweet Pea]

26. The Chant

His followers just have to chant his name over and over again - Oh-BAH-ma! - and all will be well.

Haven't you seen the video? He can be (and in my view, is) devoid of substance and not have any plan for anything (what is his plan for ending the war? His main military adviser - McPeak - agrees with McCain that we'll be there for 100 years, for Christ's sake!), yet all his followers have to do is chant "Oh-BAH-ma!" over and over again and voila! Instant karma.

Its the verbal equivalence of drinking the koolaid.

Come on now! Say it with me! "Oh-BAH-ma!"

There. You won't feel a thing.

[Bensthename]

10. Because he is not part of Wash DC establishment. It is Hillary's turn..

They dont want a regular Joe to take down their power.

[uponit7771]

13. They're white

[ashrob123]

15. Because all black people think exactly the same

and if Rev. Wright says it Obama thinks it. He is not an independent man. He is but a robot to the black monolithic.


What other reason could there be?



:sarcasm:

[rurallib]

28. That was something I learned growing up

1) blacks are a monolith. They all think and act alike.
2) they all know each other. I remember my dad asking a black guy once "I met a negro in Chicago, I think his name was Bob. Do you know him?" I wish that wasn't true but he really did.
Seems like the media (for some strange reason) hasn't moved past 1960 yet. Good grief

[BlooInBloo]

33. hahahha! Was your dad a member of the media?

If not, maybe the media isn't the root of the problem.

[rurallib]

36. no - just an average american of his day.

[Saturday]

18. Because he 1) sat in the pews for 20 years,

2) called Wright his mentor, and 3) had him as a paid consultant on his campaign staff.

spelling correction

[Connie_Corleone]

19. He's a black man running for president...

Black people have to be perfect. No flaws and our friends have to be perfect too.

[EffieBlack]

24. Because they have to make sure he's not a "fire-breathing black man"

even though he's never given any indication that he is.

[Voltaire]

31. And why are they so ANGRY all the time?

Sometimes I don't know why I bother.

[BuyingThyme]

32. Because George W. Bush is Hillary's politico-military mentor?

[guruoo]

34. He's not. They're not. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Because the "triangulators" say it is.
