I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

Hope/Change & Fluffy speeches my @ss.

Enough of his one-way oratories.
Let's get Obama seated for some tough questions.

Thank you for putting this on the front page.

Grandma's racial remarks hurt me bad. Rev. Wright's racial remarks...he don't mean no harm.

Throw granny under the bus!

Forgiveness for me, but not for thee Don Imus.

Take about Hypocrisy, Hilliary is talking about voting rights in Michigan and Florida? Hum, which party screwed that one up?

Don't forget his quote on Imus. He's got to go.

But Uncle Wright....he's just silly.

“He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

And we all know how you eschew stereotypes, unless of course, they're targeted against "the white devil" and spewed from the mouth of the vile Jeremiah Wright Jr.

We've got a tanking economy, a war going on and terror at our throats. Meanwhile Obama is still writhing around in the dirt over his disgusting Pastor.

Why are we surprised. He is a donk. He is allowed to talk out of both sides of his mouth.

re: #2 NoSubmission

Let's get Obama seated for some tough questions.

"Come on guys, I just answered, like, eight questions."
Barack Obama

Quota system?

“He didn’t just cross the line,” Obama said. “He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

What'd they learn in Sunday School?

Good Morning Charles!

At this point, I think Republicans should be doing everything they can to encourage the dhimmirats to tear themselves apart at a hung convention.

On Israel Radio's international hour they said today that if Obama can't disown his racist pastor, he can't be President of the United States. Spot-on!

What goes around, eh, Mr. O? That one's gonna leave a mark.

Unfortunately for Obama, there are now lots of "happy-headed NO's" out here now who will no longer swoon or faint in his presence.

When the news reporters were buying up the Rev's DVD sermon collections, Pastor was laughing all the way to the bank. Now, he's paying the man.

I hope he gets no more passes. I want this to follow him around like stink on skunk!

at least he is consistent!

Never interrupt a Democrat when he is making a mistake.

To the left, there are no 'double standards'. That is a construct for the Bourgeoisie right.

re: #22 Lively

Never interrupt a Democrat when he is making a mistake.

I guess we can't interrupt Dhimmicrats at all, then.

Its about race when it suits him - as in this is historic for a black man, and complains others make it about race when it doesn't suit him.

What concerns me about his associations with lunatics is how much influence they would have with his permission should he win this circus.

re: #20 Lively

Yeah, it looks like the press is going to give him a pass. McCain is too nice to hammer Obama on this. Now that I think of it Obama is going slaughter McCain in debates.

“There’s nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude,” Obama told ABC News in an April 11 interview. ...

...And the hits just keep on comin'
This guy is gonna need a time machine to win this election

I don't think it's McCain's or the RNC's responsibility to hammer Obama. The subject is too dicey. I think the Republican 527s will take care of it very well. I can't wait for the ads...I already have some good ideas myself, so I can't imagine what the pro's are going to come up with.

nothing like a heaping dose of hypocrisy in the morning, sprinkled with a bit of double-standard, and cooked in the bowl of PC.

“He didn’t just cross the line,” Obama said.

Never forget, that for liberals it's a one-way line: perfectly fine for a liberal black (or whatever) person to spew the most vile things, but not for non liberal/black (whatever)

Thomas Sewell has it nailed -

Like the Soviet show trials during their 1930s purges, Obama's speech was not supposed to convince critics but to reassure supporters and fellow-travelers, in order to keep the "useful idiots" useful.

re: #9 NoSubmission

We've got a tanking economy, a war going on and terror at our throats. Meanwhile Obama is still writhing around in the dirt over his disgusting Pastor.

Yup, lots of very important critical stuff going on in the world.
Thank goodness the MSM is covering the gubernatorial goodtime girls, (and guys if you're from NJ).

The untrained eye sees a double standard but the more enlightened mind sees a CHANGE in policy

What bothers me is people are comparing his speech to Martin Luther Kings, "I Have a Dream," speech. To me, that is outright blasphemy! Just becuase he's a good orator does not mean the connection from ears to brain stops working!

Despite being a college student I have not seen any anti-war types so far today, above the usual.

Anyone watch Frank Luntz talk about Obama and his racist preacher on H&C last night? I've never seen him so fired up before.

I put this in the spin-off links, but I think it's good enough to put here, too, for those who don't look at the links. Here is Thomas Sowell's column on the speech:
[Link: jewishworldreview.com...]

My personal favorite two paragraphs from the column:

Accordingly, Obama's Philadelphia speech — a theatrical masterpiece — will probably reassure most Democrats and some other Obama supporters. They will undoubtedly say that we should now "move on," even though many Democrats have still not yet moved on from George W. Bush's 2000 election victory.

Like the Soviet show trials during their 1930s purges, Obama's speech was not supposed to convince critics but to reassure supporters and fellow-travelers, in order to keep the "useful idiots" useful.

Friggen' gutless republicans...

Hey BGB. I hope the the whole thing with Obama, Wright, and his comments hasn't made you feel uncomfortable here. It made me think of you yesterday, and wonder how you felt.

On the weekend shows B. Hussein said he never heard Wright say those things.

Yesterday B. Hussein he heard those things, but disagreed with them.

On the weekend shows B. Hussein said if he heard Wright say those things he would have confronted Wright.

Yesterday B. Hussein said Wright was justified due the history of racism for saying those things.

Jeff Jacoby says today:

"The problem for Obama is that Wright, the spiritual leader he has so long embraced, is a devotee not of King, - who in that same speech warned against "drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred" - but of the poisonous hatemonger Louis Farrakhan, whom the church's magazine honored with a lifetime achievement award."

re: #28 strandedsf

I disagree. When our enemies' leaders engage in duplicitous conduct, we're going to respond with our PACs? He's the candidate; it is his responsibility to point out the flaws on the other side.

Someone should have said to Obama, back when he supprted sacking Imus:

"I can no more disown him than I can disown the white community"

I'm so tired, I feel like a little nappy. Ho ho ho.

/Santa, before Shaprton/Jackson/Obama awareness week

As I was listening to Liberal talk radio this morning they were making a big issue of words taken out of context. Yet these are the same people who took Imus' words out of context without a second thought.

Make no mistake, they really have no principles - they will say anything to validate their own presumptions and prejudices. Which is why they extol this rather tepid speech.

Yet, the Emperor has no clothes - despite his reputation for verbal finery, Obamas message is vacuous, preaching easy platitudes to his loyal choir.

And by the way, on this fifth anniversary of the war, I want to say God bless America and God bless our troops.

Unlike Obama, I have articulated these sentiments -- and proudly flown the US flag -- even when it was not politically convenient for me (i.e. when living in a moonbat neighborhood in San Francisco).

I pray that voters see through this colossal fraud before it is too late.

re: #39 Ojoe

"With malice toward none, with charity toward all."

Obama who said that?

Abraham Lincoln, who also said "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North." Michael Scott, from "Diversity Day" on The Office.

Obama == Socialism tied with a racist bow. It all makes sense now.

How is it that he needed so many years to finally disown Wright (if you can call it that), and yet we're supposed to believe that Obama is a leader with leadership qualities? He's flunked the leadership test on something as simple as denouncing his racist and hate-mongering religious leader and spiritual adviser for the past two decades.

Yet, he jumps ugly on Don Imus just a week after he makes that statement? Figures. It's called jumping on a bandwagon to burnish credentials.

What Imus said was just flat-out stupid, and unfair to those kids at Rutgers. He should have just apologized, and retired after that. It's not like the guy needs the money.

Obama's Grandma got ran over by Obama

You can say there's no such thing as an Asshat,

From the WaPo on today's moonbat protests:

About 9 a.m., one black-clad group of eight sat down in the intersection at 17th and L streets NW, roping themselves together with rubber tubing and blocking traffic. Police were using boltcutters and other tools to separate them from each other and make arrests. The intersection was closed to traffic until shortly after 10 a.m. At that point, the protesters began marching east on L Street.

8 Protesters sat down in a street, stop the presses! 8 measly protesters and 20 at the IRS. Kinda sad it seems.

You never can tell until you see them side by side. I thought that the debate between the wooden Al Gore and Jack Kemp would be a bloodbath for Gore. It ended up being just the opposite.
Obama did well because his speech was well rehearsed and he used the teleprompter to perfection. Also, NO FREKIN QUESTIONS! He won't have that option in live debates. Don't forget he looked pretty crappy in that interview with the major a couple of days ago.

re: #22 Lively

Never interrupt a Democrat when he is making a mistake.

I think it is quite ironic that the man who popularized that idea with the quote "never interrupt an enemy when he is in the process of committing suicide" was himself a Democrat- President Harry S. Truman.

Of course Truman would be run out of the post-1968 Democrat Party on a rail, but that's beside the point.

He spoke out both times,

The hell you say.

He didn't "speak out" about Jerry Wright's crap until it was plainly obvious that he was getting hammered for not doing it.

re: #26 Killgore Trout

Yeah, it looks like the press is going to give him a pass.

Their agenda (i.e., getting a Democrat elected) proscribes their behavior, so of course the dominant liberal media will sweep Obama's shortcomings under the rug.

However, the Internet is all abuzz dissecting The Speech That Shook The World and removing the shiny gilding; in cyber-space, there's rampant critical analysis underway. I suppose this episode will prove a grand testing ground as to how influential the "alternative media" actually is.

re: #20 Lively

Me thinks the GOP is quietly working these things so the Dems are forced into a brokered convention that gets Hillary nominated. This will alienate the African-Americans and thereby deny the Democrats that voting block.

As an overall strategy the loss of that voting block could actually turn this election into a GOP rout. Unlikely? Maybe....

I am shocked...just shocked that you racists do not get it! Blacks CANNOT be racist! The "N" word is the WORST word in the English language....unless a black person says it, then "Right on, Bro"! Ho? B*tch? What color are you? Whitey...fire his cracker ass....African American...."ain't that the truth N'word...high five me"

White = Racist....no discussion!
Black = Oppressed person incapable of racism, NEVER given opportunity, thus always given benefit of the doubt!

I hope this explanation has been instructive.

Obama is not a hypocrit, he is a victim!
/sarc

The New York Times called Obama a "Profile in Courage" this morning.
Yeah, right. The lying scum sits in that Church for 20 years never once confronting his racist, antisemitic pastor then only criticizes him when he has to but for the Times he is is a Profile in Courage.

There once was a man named Obama
His wife's name I think was Tawana
But he had many names
And one was Hussein
Acted more like his Dad than his Mama

How about that? I'm a poet and didn't... realize it.

Sadly, I don't think this will hurt Obama at all. I think he will win the nomination and the presidency. He knows this. All he has to do is survive 8 months. The GOP won't do anything and we all know the MSM won't either.

Am I wrong?

re: #72 EC Marm

The candidates generally know the questions ahead of time and Obama will have preprepared mini-speeches planned. I was very unimpressed with McCain in the Republican debates and standing next to Obama I think he's going to look really bad.

cue moonbat theme:

"Well Sven, that's different that is "heated criticism"."

Yeah barry it always IS different to your ilk.

I am proud of my country, where we can call a racist out for being a racist, regardless of their ethicity.

I sure would not tolerate this junk from a white pastor. I find it insulting for some apologists of Wright to say we have to understand the context of Wright's anger, as I heard by some last night on TV.

re: #74 Izzy Dunne

He didn't "speak out" about Jerry Wright's crap until it was plainly obvious that he was getting hammered for not doing it.

I particularly liked this snippet from Apollo's analysis of The Speech over at Snarky Bastards:

Obama really is having it both ways here. He’s a cafeteria theologian, picking the parts of Wright’s message he likes and denouncing the parts voters dislike, and expecting us to give him credit for the former and ignore the latter while embracing the man himself. Wright, meanwhile, is unapologetic about any of it.

The MSM has again attempted to bury this flap, proclaimed Obama the reincarnation of JFK, Lincoln, et al. (see Chris Matthews), and generally refused to do their job. They think this is all in service of the imminent 'glorious revolution' where the healer Obama replaces the 'warmonger' Bush and we enter into the great pax Americana and stroll through pleasant meadows for the next 200 years..except they can't hold back Rezko, the curious timing of a $1 million earmark from Obama to his wife's employer which magically resulted in the doubling of her salary, his ultra-liberal voting record, etc. The only thing that will be faster than Obama's descent is the speed with which the MSM blames racism for his downfall. God help us.

Bus driver McCain: Cunningham uses Obama's middle name, driver opens door and throws rider under bus

Bus driver Clinton: Ferraro uses black/white comparison, driver opens door and throws rider under bus

Bus driver Obama: Wright makes racist anti-American comments, driver opens door and drops rider off at curb ... says "I'll come back and pick you back up after the election"

and the Sacramento Bee has front page coverage gushing about his healing the nation speech yesterday
and nothing but quotes from fellow nazicrats glowing over his candidacy

as if nothing was wrong
no controversy caused him to make the speech in the first place

the media is getting more desperate each election cycle

just wait until October
they'll do a spread on some old Vietnamese prison guard
telling about what a coward John McCain was

then they'll drag out Rosa Parks' last living relatives
and tell how Obama saved his/her life

re: #77 StinkHammer

Stinkhammer, I think the MSM's slavish adulation of Obama and his speech is going to have absolutely no effect on the perceptions of a vast majority of American voters. If anything, the election is going to prove how irrelevant their opinions have become in the Internet age.

As of today, Obama is slipping precipitously in the polls vis-a-vis both Hillary and McCain. That means people are getting the right message, despite Obama's suggestion that playing Wright's own words constitutes a "right-wing," racist smear campaign. People see that Obama is badly infested with fleas from having lain down with the "Reverend" Wright.

Chickensssssssssssssssssss coming home to rooooooosssssssssssst indeed.

re: #95 xtraBilly

Obama ignored the Imus flap for a while. But seems he was finally forced to take a stand.

Once again, that shows his inability to take a principled stand against hatred. How exactly is he a leader if he can't get out in front of these issues?

He's leading from behind - not exactly a courageous position. He's dealing with the Wright mess now because he didn't address it for two decades prior to entering the race for the WH. He didn't confront Wright before, and he is doing so now only because others are forcing him to do so.

That's not leadership. That's indicative of a failure of leadership.

It's difficult to disregard Wright's comments, but I might have been able to, if it wasn't for Michelle Obama's comment about "for the first time in my adult life I'm proud of my country."

With a preacher saying "G-d damn America" at church (spiritual connection) and a spouse saying "I'm almost never proud of America" at home (emotional connection), how can I feel comfortable with Barak's personal connection/attitude towards America?

re: #106 crown_of_feathers

Character not color.

The real issue isn't Barack Hussein Obama's relationship with his X-Pastor, it's his membership at the Trinity United Thunderdome of Raving Bigots... and their commitment to "Black Theology", as described in the writings of author James Cone:

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

Ya'... I seem to remember Jesus saying something very similar to that in the Bible. I think it was, Ben Hur: Chapter 9, verse 4, during his Sermon in the Hood.

Yeah Barry you seemed real fired up about Imus' bile on "nappy headed hos" but let me ask you why not repudiate Wright who says that whites engineered AIDS to "use as a weapon of genocide against people of color"....my one young son gets to deal with the impact and blowback of that line of bile?

As most of you know, I life in Portland, OR (moonbat central), well apparently they all bought Osamas oops Obamas mea culpa. The front page of the fish wrapper (Oregonian) has a drawing of Obama looking like the next coming, with enough platitudes to make you sick.

Having lived in Portland (a.k.a Havana North) for 14 years as a youngster, your description of the predominantly leftist atmosphere there ia all-too-familiar. On a recent visit I had to gird my loins against the rampant Obamania gripping the populace -- including my quasi-in-laws. Not fun.

re: #107 StinkHammer

I disagree. The American prople are smarter than that. Unless there is a terrible recession, McCain wil unabashedly trounce Obama in the General election. Regardless of what the MSM says. most people saw through the charade on Tuesday, and realized that Obama is just another far left ideologue.

I posted this on the early morning thread, but it's probably more appropriate here.....

Obama endorsed by the New Black Panthers......on his own web site.

Will he disavow them?

"“He didn’t just cross the line,” Obama said.

Imus crossed the line. Hell, he went over the line. When the line is crossed there is no debate. You have done or said a terrible thing. You're only course is to apologize and hope you are forgiven. Obama was not forgiving or even open to discussion.

On the other hand, about Wright, Obama says:

"Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church?"

"Nappy Headed Ho", in a crude attempt at humor, crosses the line. It's not debatable. Even whether it was bad comedy is not debatable. It's just damnable.

But "God Damn America". It's just a (fierce) criticism. It just could be considered controversial. Which implies that those holding that view have a legitimate, even if in some places, an unpopular position.

A serious possible President of the United States believes it is debatable if America deserves damnation. Also debatable is all of the other hateful vitriol.

Got to admit, that is change.

You all keep forgetting, only whites can be racist. Black "racism" is merely a response to having been oppressed by the vast white conspiracy in the first place.

Anyone with half a brain should have been able to figure this out about Obama years ago.

His voting record is the most left in all of Washington D.C., has been since he's been there, as well as when he was a IL State Legislator.

It took this for some people to see this?

Sheesh, this country may very well be in serious trouble.

I realize that Imus made some comments that some may consider controversal, but I wasn't listening at the time, so it doesn't count.

Leftists are the worst racists in America by far. The racism of soft (or no) expectations for blacks is even more devastating than the explicit KKK variety.

Classical liberals and conservatives tend to be "color-blind" for the most part.

He was consistent - self serving both times.

Not quite true. If Ross Perot was not in the race, Bush 41 would have won rather easily.

This whole thing is making me sick. Mr. Obama said “He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

Fine. Mr. Imus is not someone young girls should be listening to in the first place. On the other hand, aren't sermons supposed to be suitable for family listening?

My two home-schooled first graders were in the room when a portion of one of those sermons played on the radio. When I realized what was being said, I turned it off, but it was a bit late...

They have now had the 'what is racism and why it is evil' speech. That was combined with the not all so-called men of G-d are deserving of the title, not all Christian pastors say these things, etc., etc.

If our rabbi said anything like that about any group or our country, we would never go back to services.

Why Martin Luther King was a Republican

The National Black Republicans looks like a fine organization. They take checks.

Does anyone else see his acceptance and thus empowerment of Wright as similar to the acceptance and empowerment he would provide for the world's tyrants as president?

Only white people can have double standards.

/

Thanks to the good Reverend, I will never look at black people the same way. I, like others, (I guess foolishly) always assumed that people thought the way I did. It matters who you are, not what you are. I took Dr. King's words to heart and have tried to live that way.

Apparently I am quite wrong. Based on Jeremy Wrights words, I have to assume that any black person I meet is going to automatically hate me just because I am white. If I find out that they go to this kind of church, I know they hate me.

By the way, that crap about his grandmother being afraid of black men? Well, have you see the way they act? They frighten me also and they do it on purpose.

I hope you are correct. However, with much of the print media (including my hometown newspaper), loudly proclaiming that "Obama Confronts Racial Divide in the U.S.", including a prominent display of a quote from Obama where he urged the nation to break "a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years", I'm not convinced that "most" people saw through the charade. The "racial stalemate" he talks about is one at his own church, not in my church, nor in my life. I think he's got a lot of nerve lecturing me on the "racial stalemate", when what he's talking about comes from his own life. But the speech was perfect for creating confusion in people's minds as to what the real issue was supposed to be - the Reverend Wright's racism, not that of the general populace.

The die is cast - Obama cannot emerge from this black hole of whitey-hatred and claim his own thoughts are otherwise - Obama's 20 years of “silent” complicity and regular monetary donations constitutes full agreement.

There's not a sane person in this country who would vote for a candidate who takes his adult lifetime of spiritual counsel from such a rabidly racist enemy of the state and its majority population for president. Operative word being, "sane".

I don't see that as a prudent political move right now. In this election cycle where the notion of Identity Politics is the topical mainstay, I think it would appear too much as a gesture of tokenism: "Hey, the Democrats are offering a minority -- well, so are we!"

I certainly hope someone of racial minority status gets the nod to the Executive office (think Michael Steele or Bobby Jindal), but my perception is that it would be better to happen at a time when it would be seen less as a gimmick. When that will possibly be is anyone's guess....

A Christian Church has two, and only two objectives, if it is indeed a Christian Church, that is to preach the Word of God from the Holy Bible, and to take actions that only are prescribed in the Word of God.

Period.

Any Church that does anything outside the Word of God, is not a Christian Church.

If my Pastor started wandering off track, I, and others, would point this out, and if it continued, I, and others would leave that Church.

Every Christian has the right, and the obligation to question their Pastors message.

I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence. I have often pondered over the dangers which were incurred by the men who assembled here, and framed and adopted that Declaration of Independence. I have pondered over the toils that were endured by the officers and soldiers of the army who achieved that Independence. I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the motherland; but that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men. This is a sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis? If it can, I will consider myself one of the happiest men in the world, if I can help to save it. If it cannot be saved upon that principle, it will be truly awful. But if this country cannot be saved without giving up that principle, I was about to say I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it.

From an unplanned speech, ole Abe just winging it.
Obama you're no Lincoln.

Hope/Change & Fluffy speeches my @ss.

Enough of his one-way oratories.
Let's get Obama seated for some tough questions.

Careful, that'll make Obama's a** squirm. Then again, he may LIKE that....

No more bad hair days!

As long as we have the 2nd, they can't take away the 1st.

Even this SCOTUS would not be so crazy as to overturn the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution right before a general election. If they did, the republicans would win every office in a land slide.

Americans are complacent, but they aren't stupid. We know full well, the only thing keeping us from looking like Europe is the fact that the public is too well armed.

Never will I give up my guns. NEVER!

Rush is having waaaay too much fun with this Operation Chaos stuff.
Then again, the DNC told those states not to move their primaries and they did anyway. I would like to know the thought processes of the state committees. Why did they think they could go against the Nat'l committee and not get punished. These fools can't even run their own elections and they want to run the country? Mwahahahaha!

I checked my disbelief. Still going.

re: #238 laZardo
That is correct.

Obama's Grandma got ran over by Obama
talking about his politics on tv
You can say there's no such thing as an Asshat,
But as for me and the Lizards, we believe.

he’s been drinkin' too much coolaid
And we'd knew just where he go.
so when he slammed dear ‘ole Grandma
his true character stole the show

that darn "grandma got ran over by a raindeer" song has been stuck in my head since yesterday - have no ideal where that came from

To cure that, look for 'Teddy, the Red-Nosed Senator' on the website for 'Twisted Tunes'. Too funny!

A few years ago, my wife was sworn in to be able to practice at the Supreme Court. The two justices who came to the reception afterwards were Sandra Day O'Connor and Scalia.

re: #81 MJ

The New York Times called Obama a "Profile in Courage" this morning.
Yeah, right. The lying scum sits in that Church for 20 years never once confronting his racist, antisemitic pastor then only criticizes him when he has to but for the Times he is is a Profile in Courage.

For me, as an ordinary citizen, the proof of a person's character can be found in his behaviour as he goes about his daily life.

Is he fair in his dealings with all people? Would he intervene if he witnessed a racist incident on the subway? Would he get involved if he saw a (possibly drunk) person lying ill in a bus shelter?

Most of us will never serve on the battlefield or in parliament but that doesn't matter so much in terms of our character, because our mettle is tested and our principles demonstrated in smaller, but no less important, ways.

It takes courage to take a stand on an issue, to draw a line in the sand, especially when you're the first one to speak up. But after you speak up, you'll be surprised how many people will find the courage to stand with you.

Week in and week out, Barack Obama repeatedly failed this smaller test of character. Even if it didn't matter in terms of his policitical career, even if it didn't matter in terms of his family, it mattered to his character. At the very least, registering his disagreement with the church and walking out the door would have solidified something in Obama's character.

The positive influence on his family would have followed as a matter of course. But speaking up might also have had a beneficial impact on the members of the congregation, as well.

Given his close relationship with his pastor, Obama might have been the one person with enough influence to help Jeremiah Wright consider a different perspective on the issues. Failing that, perhaps he could have convinced many of his fellow churchgoers that their minister had gone too far and either he had to go or they had to go.

Since Barack Obama failed this test of his character in his personal life, I would not rely on him to stand up for what is right in his political life. And since his political life has the potential to affect millions or billions of people around the world, I hope Americans vote to keep him out of office.

re: #216 StinkHammer

I was thinking this months ago when I was hearing peoplesay McCain should pick Lieberman. I thought NOOOOOO! Then JC Watts came to mind. Not because he's black, but because he's a conservative and the anti-Obama. I don't think it would be gimicky. He's actually had a real job unlike the other side (being a lawyer that never actually practiced law doesn't count in my book).

re: #227 Kosh's Shadow

From yesterday's speech, I figured out why he likes "Change". It sounds better than "Revolution!"

Frankly, there is no difference in Obama's application of 'Change' from that of 'Revolution'. It's nothing more but the typical progressive populist fascism from hard left. All the elements are there - rank populism and the need to 'fix' the country with very little details as to how; heavy use of conspiracy theories to play to populist paranioa; and the not so subtle application of Jacobin theories towards religion, education, and the supremacy of the state.

I would like to know the thought process of a Democrat National Committee that thought that it had any right whatever to dictate to the various states when and under what circumstances they would hold their state primary elections. It seems to me that to not seat the validly elected delegates chosen in the various states is a willful infringement on the rights of the people to choose their own leaders. If the DNC does not seat these delegates without a revote then somebody needs to be hauling them into court for election fraud.
