- I am also liberal and disagree that CBS needs to take these opinions off its web site. Only by exposing these idiotic fears can we defeat them. I am white and I will guarantee that the white author of this article has little to no experience with what it is to be black in America today. That preachers in these setting are more fiery and the rhetoric more pointed should be expected. They see poverty and hopelessness daily. What has been tried in the past has definitely not worked .. maybe it is time to try some new ideas. Time and time again we see the economically powerful using their access to the legislature to retain the status quo. Decades after lead paint was banned it still exists in many inner city homes, how can that be? The NRO is trying so hard to maintain their privileged world.

- Hopeful08,
If you want to read Mrs. Obama''s 1985 thesis at Princeton (which is a laborious experience, I can tell you), click here;

But I have to say, reading Hitchens'' more concise article is also telling, and a lot easier on the eyes. - Reply to this comment
- CBS, in order to be taken seriously as a news organization, you MUST MUST MUST take this right wing drivel off your website!!! It''''s pure trash and only exposes you as a ''''Faux News'''' wannabe news organization.
Corporate media like this is ruining our democracy. Get rid of this TRASH!!!!

I am a liberal and I must say, I totally disagree. This is what we need from CBS News. There are other fair and balanced news organisations that would never consider doing this. CBS is always accused of being biased, but this is proof that opposing views are welcome here and that if one wants an intelligent discussion of the issues, then you have found the right place. Let''s try and de-polarise this situation. Kudo''s to CBS News. - Reply to this comment

Yes, I am quite familiar with Michael Moore & MoveOn. Michael is a dishonest, deceitful individual who twists and misrepresents what others say for his own ends. Unless you have someplace to puke afterwards, you shouldn''t say his name. MoveOn is a confused group of traitors not fit to be called Americans, who haven''t the slightest comprehension of what our founding fathers intended.
You (Hopeful) made mention of some innate and organic fear that a Black man may become president, so whites are upset.
It isn''t that Obama is Black (even though you keep saying that). It is that his long-standing and very close, personal affiliations are nutjobs - paranoid psychos filled with hate - and there is no obvious explanation for it. That''s the issue.
Christopher Hitchens of Slate magazine, a Black, studied the background of the Obama''s as well, trying to answer the same question we all have. Why does Obama associate with these loons?

If you''ve got the courage, check it out. Make sure you understand what he is saying from a Black''s perspective. - Reply to this comment

- More pointless and laughable "guilt by association" conservative idiot AM hate-jock radio Right Wing garbage that the entire country - except the true idiots, are sick to death of. Tell it to "Rush"... If this is the disgusting RW''s tactic - a variation of their slimeball "Manchurian Candidate" approach they used against McCain, forget it. Desperate, pathetic, stupid. Talk about the "positive direction" McCain will take the country after 8 years of corruption and incompetence. Oh, sorry, forgot - you can''t.

- "These delusions shows the extent of the far Right''''s fear about Obama. I have news for you all. I am neither a loyal democrat, nor young, nor black, nor disposssed. But Obama has already marshalled hundreds of thousands like me toward a singular goal of taking back this country from Corporate control of our government and the media." Posted by hopeful08
It is a joy I thought I wouldn''t see in my lifetime, the neo Nazis and the kkk types quaking in their booth on the prospect of having to say "president n-word".
Even if somehow Mr. Obama doesn''t make it, this particular time in politics is one of the Most enjoyable I have known in my 50-plus years. - Reply to this comment
