I thought you were kidding but you're not , are ya ? It's ok, typical in fact.

Yanno, in the right-brained/left-brained discussions, they usually leave out the majority which are neither. I refer, of course, to the slack jawed, attention span  challenged U.S. population who can name the American Idol contestants, but not their Congressman.

Nope. Not kidding. You’ve heard one babbling bigot, you’ve heard them all.

I am proud to say that I have never watched American Idol and will probably never will.

Cynicism can be cool, but the example above makes it look desperate.

Obama has been listening to this nonsense every week for the past 20 years. And then you wonder why he refuses to wear the American flag lapel pin? You wonder why his wife says she is for the "first time" proud to be an American?

If Obama wins 2008, the GOP has 2012 in the bag. Obama will be the most anti-American administration in history. It will be like 1976 and 1980. People hated the GOP so much in 1976 because of Nixon so they voted in Jimmy Carter. Then by 1980 everyone was running, not walking, but running to Ronald Reagan. Same thing is going to happen here.

"Obama doesn't wear a flag pin all the time! Argh!

But less talked about (because he hasn't mentioned it publicly since he received it in February) is the bracelet he was given in memory of Sgt. Ryan Jopecik, who was killed in Iraq in 2006. His mother had a bracelet made that reads 'all gave some, some gave all'.

Draw your own conclusions."

So much for the foul farts from the right about the "flag pin" bullshit, an "issue" only morons could possibly care about.

Remember the fury a few days ago over freedom of speech? What happened to it?!


Ahh, the difference is, that in merry old France, it's possible Wright would be facing charges, but over here, we not only respect his freedom to speak, but to call him a numb-nuts.
 
My man Obama's ship may be sinking....[>:]



kdsub -> RE: Wright, NAACP (4/28/2008 10:05:48 AM)

The man is a megalomaniac or just stupid. He is single handedly destroying Obama’s chance to be elected. What an idiot.

If he had an ounce of brain matter he would shut up…at least until after the election.I personally think he loves to see his name in the news.

Level, did you watch the Moyers interview with Wright ?

Btw, Level, congrats on your "condemned" status, you sinister bastid.



LotusSong -> RE: Wright, NAACP (4/28/2008 10:50:03 AM)

All I can say is my Momma taught me that a person is known by the company he keeps.
 
Every time someone is successful in something..they have hangers-on gleaning anything they can from the person to give him importance or notoriety.  (i.e Wright vs Obama)
 
I have really no worry about Obama.  I'm sure he didn't expect all this "support" coming out of the woodwork. Yup, he's like an uncle.. a mildly retarded uncle....embarassing but harmless.  JMO

Racial animosity?  In DETROIT?   say it ain't so, Joe!

As far as Reverand Wright is concerned, i have seen the video of his whole sermon, and while i can't say all of it is bad,  he goes into a whole tirade about how the government is bad because it is white. He is certainly entitled to his opinion, but i think he really needs to seperate his political views from the religious views he was supposed to be teaching. The fact that he believes that the US created AIDS to kill off the black race, and pretty much every war in modern times was orcastrated by the government gives one pause when try to accept his viewpoint. 

  Here is a where one can find that video, so you can look for yourself.

Are you capable of one single genuine thought? Everything your regurgitate back up sounds like a direct sound bite from FOX.... Between you and popeye I have to shake my head in absolute wonder.

Please get some new material...Your acts are really tired.

Do you read? Do you know what happened to Carter...Was he a great Prez? No....But he was fucked by the times...His handling of the hostage situation did him no favors....His real doom was the economy....Double digit run away inflation.

We are a country of morons. We blame the Prez for the failing economy...It's a cyclical thing....If it's good you are a rock star if it sucks you are unemployed...Unless you manage to get the Country into a meaningless war...No Prez has ever been voted out during a war....Brilliant strategy.

Who the fuck cares what Wright said? I can't believe a whole election is being based on this shit. Do people realise they're being manipulated? Fucking puppets [8|] .

Interesting. And the general US citizen doesnt see any relationship between US foreign policy and the 9/11 attacks as a reaction to them?

Or would that require a degree of introspection which is discomforting to the presumed position of the US as the supreme paragon of virtue as a preference?

I've heard a bit of what this reverend has had to say - though by all means I havent heard all. Yes, from what I've heard, its discomforting stuff. Yet it makes sense, it rings true. I wonder if that is indeed what the problem with this guy is?

No one likes to be told that after all, that they got beaten up because they picked a fight.
