Here is a really astounding example of the failures of the American educational system.

And this was a white American, one who was not even aware of what happened at Pearl Harbor, less than 70 years ago:

"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific."
- George Idiot Bush

OBAMA TIES TO HAMAS

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency today reports that the Wright, Jr., long-time pastor of Obama, published an op-ed piece signed by a Hamas leader. The item appeared in the July 22, 2007 edition of his Trinity United Church newspaper on the "Pastor''''s Page." Justifies attacks on Israeli civilians, and carries a supporting introduction by Mr. Wright.

Obama issued a statement strongly condemning these views of his pastor. "I certainly wasnt in church when that outrageously wrong [Hamas] piece was re-printed in the bulletin.


Obama is a long-time member of Trinity United, and his financial contributions to his church are reported to be substantial ("All told, the [Obama] couple gave $27,500 to [Trinity United] in 2005 and 2006," according to the New York Times of March 26). His moral support to the church has been unwavering. As more and more and more details of the extremist political positions of the church are revealed, Obamas response has been to distance himself from these, but also to repeat, over and over, that he didn''''t know, that he wasn''''t there.

I find it very difficult to believe that an intelligent, energetic, and very political man like Obama is perpetually ignorant about what goes on in the church to which he devotes so many of his resources. If he does get to the White House....

Those are pretty sad statistics, and they are just the young Americans.

I''d be willing to bet that the numbers for adults are a lot worse.

That is from a 5 year old e-mail that was disputed by snopes.com. Letterman never made that top ten list, and it''s nothing more than a joke e-mail.

"Half of young Americans can"t find New York on a map.

Only 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map - though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.

6 in 10 young Americans don''t speak a foreign language fluently.

20% of young Americans think Sudan is in Asia. (It"s the largest country [largest in area] in Africa.)

48% of young Americans believe the majority population in India is Muslim. (It''s Hindu - by a landslide.)"

You''re comparing a comedy, to a real life racist spoof?

What are you - 10 years old?

Whew...

That is an Urban Legend, say our friends at Snopes.com.

Letterman never did such a foolish Top 10 List, and in fact counts Black NASCAR drivers among his personal friends.

"1.5 percent identify themselves as black or African-American." I thought they were Negroes? Most that refer to themselves as "African-American" have never been to Africa and cannot even point out Africa on a map.

RE: "David Letterman"s Top 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR DRIVERS:"

Did Letterman actually do this one ?

I find that hard to believe.

There ARE Black NASCAR drivers. Letterman had to know that. He would look foolish suggesting there aren"t any.

I''ll bet Dave Letterman gets "flak" from the NAACP. Al Sharpton and Rev Jackson will go nuts ! ! !

David Letterman''s Top 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR DRIVERS:



#10 HAVE TO SIT UPRIGHT WHILE DRIVING.

# 9 PISTOL WON''T STAY UNDER FRONT SEAT.

# 8 ENGINE NOISE DROWNS OUT THE RAP MUSIC.

# 7 PIT CREW CAN''T WORK ON CAR WHILE HOLDING UP PANTS AT THE SAME TIME.

# 6 THEY KEEP TRYING TO CARJACK DALE EARNHADT JR.

# 5 POLICE CARS ON TRACK INTERFERE WITH RACE.

# 4 NO PASSENGER SEAT FOR THE HO.

# 3 NO CADILLACS APPROVED FOR COMPETITION.

# 2 WHEN THEY CRASH THEIR CARS, THEY BAIL OUT & RUN.



AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY BLACKS CAN''T BE IN NASCAR....



# 1 THEY CAN''T WEAR THEIR HELMETS SIDEWAYS.

The Op-ed piee that you speak does not justify attacks...

It says that the attacks on palestine and the treatment of palestine is worse than than than Nazi because of what the jews experienced in Germany..

Everyone associated with Hamas is not a terrorist.. Hamas is the elected goverment of Palestine the last time I checked.

What you are portraying is wrong. and you know it.

In other words, you should know better...

Why do you post this kind of s**t?

You know, real political debate is fine.. I also think that Rev. Wright is on the edge.. But to keep exagerating and out of contexting what he said is just dam* sorry.. Those who do this are the problem.

It''s like the videos of Rev wright were pieced together.. GD America was not part of the post 09/11 sermon.. I don''t think that the GD America quote was from the church.. That sermon was not delievered in his church.. I think that I am right.

His sermon of race that was controversial was delivered at Howard University not at the church.

Obama was right, he was not there.

By the way, how palestanians are treated is awful.. I agree with the Church bulletin and the historian pastor..

It is like if Blacks had slaves.... After living through slavery and some black making a history of speaking oppression from that then owning slaves themselves would be morally worse..

You know I have never seen so many useless irrelevant attacks on a Presidential candidate.. Sorry..

i AM RATED 100% DISABLED DUE TO EXPOSURE TO AGENT ORANGE. i BECAME DIABETIC WITH NEUROPATHY IN MY HANDS AND FEET. i CAN TYPE BUT CANNOT EVEN READ MY OWN SIGNATURE. i WAS GIVEN 100% RATING WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED I HAVE STAGE i renal kidney failure. I am on 16 medications daily plus insulin. Th VA Doctor told me to stop working as it would be too much strain on my kidneys. As usual you are running your mouth about something you know nothing about. I am 59 years old and in my physical condition i doubt i could find a job anywhere as noone would want to have to provide medical benefits for me. My medications alone cost over $1000 a month. There is no hope of recovery, it is only a matter of time till something kills me. And even in my condition i could whip your cowardly *** any day of the week.

While I''ll agree there is a context as to why it''s excusable for a black man to do whiteface, but not vice-versa, maybe we all need to treat each other with respect, or allow both sides to play up each other...

At what point is a line drawn?

At what point do we think of the future instead of bickering over a past none of us can change?

Or, if this is life, I''ll just stay in my corner, play by the rules, and let everyone else act stupid.

ranger1948-
You remind me of one of my favorite sayings:
"Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig".
Perhaps you should let the disability office know that you no longer are disabled since you are able to do physically well enough to do hand to hand combat. At the very least you should be able to find employment with a computer job since you seem to have a lot of time on your hands and can spend all night on the computer.

Good morning, Klansman.

You would know about brazen, hateful, manure-laden screeds.

You post them all the time, Klansman.
