Just because people bring up race in this election does not make them racist. After all Obama IS the first black man to run for president and Hillary the first woman. We are supposed to ignore that? Now Obama''s pastor, Mr. wright, who is actually Mr. Wrong, is the epitamy of racism. It is what is said that counts, not the fact that something was said. In this new world of political correctness stamping out free speech is happening right before our eyes. The fact that we cannot talk about Obama being black but his pastor can publicly rant racist remarks til the cows come home is a clear example of this fact.

Magazines like The Nation and The National Review are nothing but right wing GOP rags. For years, they have been anti Clinton and are frustrated that their efforts have had such little effect with the electorate. No reasonable person expects them to ever write something true about the Clintons.

Like it or not, YOU are the company you keep. Perception is 100% reality, and in politics, your blemished past always returns to haunt your political future. Keep that in mind you aspiring girls gone wild types. Ask yourself this question, if someone does something you don''t like, do you cut the ties, or look the other way? Life is full of tough decisions, but those decisions define you as a person for the rest of your life. All of the vices we are addicted to, most of the dumb stuff we did as kids could have been avoided if we just did not succumb to the pressure of the company we keep.

Your kidding, right? Far more innuendo than substance. And I don''t even LIKE Hilary!

Barbara Ehrenreich, the author of this piece, is an atheist with a lifelong axe to grind against people of faith. In 1999 she won the Freethought Heroine Award, from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. You can read her acceptance speech here: It''s called, "My Family Values Atheism".

Frankly, Hilary at ANY Bible Study is NOT going to be a plus for Barbara!

Hillaryous Definition: When someone describes a situation in a way that benefits their selfish goals, rather than it actually is in relatity (despite all of evidence to the contrary).

This is such garbage. Who is behind this? Obama or McCain? I want to say more, but why waste the space.

This may be the time...for all of us to start judging our leaders by what they do and how they treat others, instead of making everyone in their lives a litmus test. Face it, if we all had to come clean about the people in our own lives, many of us would be fired from our jobs based on what friends, relatives or others we know have said or done. Time to grow up America or keep thinking we are God''s gift to the rest of the world, to remake, invade and destroy as we see the need for them to be "free".

Talk about nonsense built on innuendo, half truths and intentional deciets. This is the most grabage item I have read in my life. A group is slandered by Harper''s years back, with no evidence, and now Hillary is tied to that, and it''s motives and alleged history greatly expanded.
I detest Hillary Clinton. I detest even more such tripe as this author has chosen to dish out for our consumption.

pastors shortcoming its a "desperation move" and a "smear campaign"?
Come on ... if a one persons church leader is up for scrutiny then the others is fair game.
Mind you, I don''''t believe that any of their church leaders are all that influential on candidates actions.

+ report abuse

What is the shortcomings of praying with republicans?

I failed to understand how that compares with calling white people "cigar chomping crackers" or saying the white government created HIV to give to blacks?

Seriously, which story do YOU think will beg questioning from the true, blue dem, and the rest of America?

Hint, it''s not the people quietly praying, in a bipartisan group.

GD AMERICA!
