Ok, Obama supporters, how do you square with the fact that your "anointed one", the "Cleanest" black-guy in America (compliments of Joe Biden), "Mr. Hope" himself, has a 20 year "spiritual adviser" that makes L. Farrakhan look like an abused Alter-boy?

Racism: Obama Supporters Know It When They See It

I don't pretend to be as brilliant as the average American liberal. I acknowledge that my confusion regarding Sen. Barack Obama's support for Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racist, hate-spewing theology is possibly a failure of intellect on my part.

So I am asking, my Lefty friends, for your help.

Here's the score thus far:

Geraldine Ferraro points out that there is a connection between Sen. Obama's campaign success and his race, and Lefties like foaming-mouthed maniac Keith Olbermann denounce the "David Duke rhetoric" of the Clinton campaign. OK....

Sen. Clinton runs a TV ad about phone calls to the White House at 3am, and liberal academic Orlando Patterson says in the New York Times

"when I saw the Clinton ad’s central image — innocent sleeping children and a mother in the middle of the night at risk of mortal danger — it brought to my mind scenes from the past. I couldn’t help but think of D. W. Griffith’s 'Birth of a Nation,' the racist movie epic that helped revive the Ku Klux Klan, with its portrayal of black men lurking in the bushes around white society. The danger implicit in the phone ad — as I see it — is that the person answering the phone might be a black man, someone who could not be trusted to protect us from this threat."[emphasis added]

So the "3 a.m." ad is a racist attack for which Sen. Clinton should be held responsible? OK....

And now we know that, for 20 years, Sen. Barack Obama himself has attended and financially supported a pastor who has openly preached racism and anti-semitism. This racist pastor is, right now, a member of Sen. Obama's campaign committee, despite the fact that, just last year, he gave an award to Louis Farrakhan last year.

But that DOESN'T mean that Sen. Obama is either a racist or supports racism, because...

And that's where you lose me.

If you're denouncing Geraldine Ferraro racism because of a comment she made about Jesse Jackson 20 years ago, then what about the fact that, every week during that same 20 years, Barack Obama has been listening to sermons on the evil of "whiteness" and the "terrorist state" of Israel?

If Geraldine Ferraro is bad, how can Barack Obama be good?

If you can make that add up, you're obviously a lot smarter than I. Either that, or you're a hypocritical moron.

So I am extending an open invitation to every Barack Obama supporter at BMG, Daily Kos, etc. to simply explain--in small words that an intellectually challenged person like myself can understand--how your current position makes sense.

I will happily post the answers on this very webpage.

And please--show your work.

Would a "white" candidate be let off the hook, for even having a beer with a memebr of the KKK, let alone, a "Grand Cleagle" like Rev Wright? He denounced L Farrakhan, but won’t denounce the “good” Rev.

So, to Mr. Obama and his supporters, do you hold Rev Wright's views about "white" America, or "Amerikkka"?

I guess we all now know why Michelle Obama has been so down on America for so long, given that she's been listening to this crap all that time. Is the L. Farrakhan point-of-view going to be prevalent in the Obama Administration?

If this is his "spiritual adviser" and "mentor", then what is the real "World-view" of Obama? Is it fair to ask?

Is Barak lying when he says he never himself heard such garbage? I think so, given that their is SO MUCH video on this guy's ranting. How can anybody honestly take Barak seriously?

I know don’t worry, It’s “just words”. Nothing to pay attention to, like his NAFTA comments.

Good call! I almost forgot about that one.

And how about Patrick J. Buchanan. He just wrote something about Hitler, and his ship was sunk. Never even knew the guy.

Of course, the Civil Rights Act of 1969 would not have passed, were it not for Republican support. Dems voted it down in big numbers at the time.

It wasn't just Republican support, it was Republican insistance that even got it to the floor, and a much higher percentage of Republicans voted for it than did Democrats.

The issue here though for me is this. The press thought it was open season on Romney to discuss his religion and the impact that might have on decisions he might make as a president. He was expected to answer for what the Morman religion had done some fifty years previous and at what point they decided to let Blacks take a full part in the Church. There was an attempt to lable him as being sympathetic to bigamy when the practice had been outlawed by his church for generations.

Now we are talking about Obama and suddenly those who took that on with Romney think it should be off limits for Obama. When actually, it is far more pertinent in Obama's case, because of the closeness of his relationship with his pastor and what that pastors activiites have been in the immediate past and present.

But the issue that needs to be discussed here is just this. If any of us walked into a new church and heard a sermon by a preacher that espoused white supremicist views and cloaked them all with the will of God and Jesus, would we stay in that church? Would we stay through the end of the service? Would we befriend that pastor, have him perform our weddings, develope close personal ties with him?

When people later objected to things the pastor said, would we dismiss it with phrases like " he's like that old uncle you have that sometimes says things you don't agree with.."?

Would any of us really do that? And if we wouldn't, what does that say about Barack Obama? These are the things voters need to be asking themselves.

One's faith is one thing. Political activism disguised as faith or intertwined with faith is another. You cannot advocate in the political arena and then say those things should be divorced from your political personna.

And yes, they are things we need to look at in terms of all the candidates.

Obama supporters feel this whole thing is stupid. The only people who are making a big deal are people who wouldn't have voted for him anyway. And to think he's actually GAINED ground in some polls even after this right-wing firestorm? He's smart. He'll just use this moment to say how racially non-prejudiced he is (he is half white you know) and how what Mr. Wright said echoes his sentiment that America must do all it can to prevent another 9/11 (and not ignore the memo that said, "Terroist to Strike Using Airplanes" and how he would be a President who doesn't have a vested interest in getting rich from the war and how he will bring the troops home and work on diplomacy to keep 9/11 from ever happening again. He'll also gain the confidence of the millions (including my sister) who thought he was a Muslim, he'll tap into that 63% that believes the Iraq war was not worth it, he'll tap into the large anti-American (white) crowd that permeates the internet and who think America actually caused 9/11, he appeal to blacks who were voting for Hillary Clinton before they realized, 'Hey, she hasn't ever been called a n*gger!' He'll appeal to young people who are not at all blinded by race, he'll appeal to the bleeding heart white person who will feel sorry for him and blame this whole thing on the Clinton's and most importantly; he will reenergize his current supporters to continue to fight the status quo.

Looks to me like FoxNews just helped elect the next President of the United States. And who said they were 'unfair and unbalanced'?

Great points, Tessy. How do you reconsile his association with a racist pastor whom, as Obama admits, is like an uncle to him :question: Using your logic, you are a McCain supporter.

I've said this before, and I'll repeat it here.
I see this primary race turning into a whit vs black conflict.

If there is an inkling in the white community, even if they supported Obama in the past, that he is anti-American and a black separatist as his pastor seems to be....they will have second thoughts.

Whether it's true or not, perceptions go a long way...I know it's not fair, but it is reality.
It is just human nature not to support someone who is perceived to hate you.

Ah, I love the smell of desperation in the air! :nana: Conservatives running around like headless chickens, just hoping against hope that the sky will fall in on Obama. Kinda makes me heart beat peanut butter, as Cheesy used to say.

I really don't see much in this latest kerfuffle as a last-ditch effort to throw some shit at Obama that just might stick. But what you guys overlook is the skill and talent Senator Obama has shown for confronting problems and issues forthrightly and openly. So the more shit you throw, the better he looks to people who are trying to decide which of the candidates really has what it takes to be president.

I've taken the liberty of sneaking a peek or two at Preserv's posts, and it appears that besides his smartass posts, his sole concern is to foment rumors that the democrats are coming apart--and I just love it!!! If ever there were a time when we weren't coming apart, I'd say that it's this year. Oh, it'll be tricky, because however it falls out, the next President of the United States is going to set a precedent. And the scared conservatives are just helping things along.

So, from the very bottom of my heart, Preserv, THANK YOU!!:clapper:

"Great points, Tessy. How do you reconsile his association with a racist pastor whom, as Obama admits, is like an uncle to him Using your logic, you are a McCain supporter." Go Fish

And who besides delusional white Americans, complete with input for Hannity and Limbaugh, have labeled his remarks as racist? Since when in the hell did a black person from the 60's talking about the U.S. as he perceives it, no matter how skewed, turn into I HATE WHITE PEOPLE? Dear goodness the ignorance is astonishing. If Obama, as a half white man, believed that Wright were some blazing racist he wouldn’t raise his half white children in the church and neither would he defend him in the presence of America. People like yourself seem to have forgotten what racism is. And while you accuse Wright of being racist you continue to say that America is not racist and black people are making it all up. Why? Because to admit that both Wright’s attitude and the attitudes of many white people in this country constitute racism would mean you would have to go back on the culture that has been cultivated over the past several years in this country…and that is everyone is racist except white people. Sorry, it won’t work. Either racism exists in this country on both sides or it doesn’t exist at all. And if you want to label what Wright did as racist then don’t go spitting and farting when blacks label what Ferraro did and what Immus said as racist. If blacks need to get over, so do white people and that is EXACTLY what Obama is saying.

LMFAO ROTF!!

Are you saying that "God Damn AmeriKKKa", the land controlled by "whitey", is love for white people?

Who again is ignorant?

If Obama, as a half white man, believed that Wright were some blazing racist he wouldn’t raise his half white children in the church and neither would he defend him in the presence of America.

Unless of course he really does believe in what the good rev is preaching, is is feeding you a line of BS because he knows you will take in, just BECAUSE he is black. We already have evidence that he doesn't mean what he says, as a result of the Canadian thing a few weeks ago. He also said he never heard that crap, yet today admitted that he has. There are two lies right there, and we haven't even begun to talk about Rezko yet.

But I geuss you have already rationalized that stuff away, haven't you.


People like yourself seem to have forgotten what racism is. And while you accuse Wright of being racist you continue to say that America is not racist and black people are making it all up.

Actually, we Cons know that rascism exsists. But we also acknowledge the progress that has been made since the time of Dr. MLK's days. We made laws affirming that rascism is not to be tolerated, and applied penalties to those laws.

By the way, it was "white" Republicans that put those laws into place, not Democrats. Democrats voted against it. Go read the history of the Civil Rights Act of 1969.

Why? Because to admit that both Wright’s attitude and the attitudes of many white people in this country constitute racism would mean you would have to go back on the culture that has been cultivated over the past several years in this country…and that is everyone is racist except white people. Sorry, it won’t work. Either racism exists in this country on both sides or it doesn’t exist at all.

If blacks need to get over, so do white people and that is EXACTLY what Obama is saying.

Well, at least your admiting that there ARE rascists on both sides. That's a first.

Imus was both rascist AND sexist with his comments, but how on Earth can you call Geraldine's comments rascists? A "white" junoir senator from Chicago, with no legislative accomplishements, would never have been considered a viable candidate at the DNC. He would be laughed at, and told to come back when he's accomplished something. Therfore, his support is soley base on ....

And yet the media didn't damn and condemn Paul until the poiint that he saw fit to give a speech explaining his views. And Ron Paul retained his position as a Texas politician. Barack could lose his hold on this election b/c of something his preacher said. Yes, there is a HUGE double standard.

And Wndrtch - You can post NOTHING by Wright that was racist, you can only infer he must be racist. The last time I checked American politicians are all of colors so 'god damn America' was not exclusive to whites.

oh yeah, great point. that story was one of the only times the media paid any attention to paul's campaign - the only other occurrence was when he raised record amounts of contributions.

Preacher, mentor, spiritual adviser, confidant, and campaign adviser. The good Rev wasn't "just a preacher" to Barack.

"Mentor", "spiritual adviser" and "confidant", imply that Obama admires this man's teachings and looks to be guided by them. So the questions is, what does Obama admire about this race-baiter's words, and how has he incoporated them into his life? That IS a fair question to ask.

And Wndrtch - You can post NOTHING by Wright that was racist, you can only infer he must be racist. The last time I checked American politicians are all of colors so 'god damn America' was not exclusive to whites.

He states that America is run by "Rich White Guys", and that we are 'AmeriKKKa". What does KKK mean to you? Certainly not "black power".

He also won't win Nevada as we are a Red State. Either way it doesn't matter Obama wont win, thats what we have the electorial college for :D

Also like I have said in other posts I fear for the mans life. I honestly think his days are numbered if he gets the nomination, either Hillary's people will get him and make it look like a suicide (thats how the Clinton's roll) or some White Supremisist will off him. People underestimate those wack jobs, but they have the money, training, backing and power to pull something like that off. Some of those guys thats all they do is train in camps like the Aryan Nations Compound seven days a week (pretty much terrorist training camps in my opinion).

Eventhough I hate the man and realize he is a liar, criminal and a racist with no stances on the issues, he is just good at telling people what they want to hear, but not able to define his positions because he doesn't have any or any experience. I would never want to see that happen to him.

I am definatly ok with assassinations, just not of our leaders. Now when we talk about Chavez, the President of Iran, the President of Pakistan among other terrorists or terrorism supporters, im all game for them to be taken out of the picture.

I'm afraid you'll find that Obama's fulminating opponents here will stop at absolutely nothing to make up stuff about him. There are several posters who LIVE to hurl shit at Obama. I won't name them because you're clearly smart enough to figure out who they are.

Truth has absolutely nothing to do with their anger or low behavior. They are racists of the very worst kind, and there's no excusing them. I don't wish them silenced, because free speech counts here. But I do wish them gone.

Two things, El. I haven't meant to suggest that race will be an overriding issue in this election--only that certain posters are doing everything they can to MAKE it an issue. I think Obama is the first candidate of any color to have totally transcended race as an issue.

So, to Mr. Obama and his supporters, do you hold Rev Wright's views about "white" America, or "Amerikkka"?

I guess we all now know why Michelle Obama has been so down on America for so long, given that she's been listening to this crap all that time. Is the L. Farrakhan point-of-view going to be prevalent in the Obama Administration?

If this is his "spiritual adviser" and "mentor", then what is the real "World-view" of Obama? Is it fair to ask?

Is Barak lying when he says he never himself heard such garbage? I think so, given that their is SO MUCH video on this guy's ranting. How can anybody honestly take Barak seriously?

I know don’t worry, It’s “just words”. Nothing to pay attention to, like his NAFTA comments.


Really?...you think the two are the same? Wright has never made any racist remarks that I'm aware of, perhaps you'd be so kind as to point them out.


How about...

"AmeriKKKa"

or,

"Rich WHITE guys"

If he didn't mean to imply a race, then why didn't he just say "rich guys"? He singled-out rich "WHITE" guys.

Good Buck, that is great

He transcends race, by going to a church that preaches hate against Whites and America and supporting strictly a black values system and having his close friend and preacher Jeremiah Wright befriend the biggest bigot in the country

Louis Farrakhan

but I guess all of our preachers give awards to guys who call jews "bacteria"

Oh wait, my doesn't. My local church officials support values for all, and not just blacks.

Yah! They're against gays of all colors!

(Sorry about that. I just wanted to take it away from the next Liberal who responds)

You should be ashamed, Wndrtch, but I'm not sure you know the meaning of shame. I don't know for sure, but I think Trinity United Church of Christ is an open and welcoming congregation to people of all sexual orientations. It's certainly open to people of all colors. But then you might have missed that.

Seems to be full of one color mostly, and it seems to preach hate against another.

I'm not getting you, Buck. Why am I an A-hole now? I was making a joke about how a Liberal would respond to 4Reaganomics last sentance.
