Barack is being slandered and attacked from all sides. Yet all the while he more or less maintains his composure. I understand why as a decent person he''s decided to take the high road, but it might just be time for Barack to go ugly.

Hillary has SOOOOOOOO much scandal in her life, it''s hard to know where to even to begin attacking her.

But it might be time to put her out of our misery; and at the same time get in a little practice for that incompetent, double-talking fool, John McCain.

Wright is right most of the time. Our government is capable of horrors and commits all kinds of acts of terrorism. THis is actually pretty self-evident if you know any of our real history at all.

OBAMA IS A RACIST TOO.. HE CANNOT CONDEMN WRIGHT %u2026

On June 5th, 2007, Senator Barack Obama spoke before 8,000 people gathered in
Hampton University%u2019s Convocation Center. Most of them were pastors and ministers
attending a conference there.

He was there to speak on mostly post Katrina issues and to criticize the Bush
administration%u2019s efforts during that natural disaster. Obama tried his catch
phrase of the moment, saying that a %u201Cquiet riot%u201D might be occurring in America
and he affirmed that he felt that America was a racist nation, that the reaction
to Katrina had just %u201Cpulled back the screen%u201D on America%u2019s racism. Obama also
used rhetoric heavily doused with religious symbolism.

ATLAS EXCLUSIVE: OBAMA%u2019S PASTOR WRIGHT!WHERE IS THE KATRINA MONEY?
Bill Warner has been doing some serious investigating on Obama%u2019s spiritual
mentor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Back on September 19, 2005, Trinity United
Church of Christ ran a plea for cash on their bulletin. They were directly
taking contributions/donations for %u201CHurricane Katrina%u201D demanding that the check
be made payable to Trinity United Church of Christ. %u201CWe are not taking clothing
or non-perishable items%u201D. JUST CASH%u2026.why not the Red Cross as the %u201CPay to%u201D, who
monitored the money, where did all the cash go, who monitored Rev. Wright and
his non-profit church ?

The church is accepting only monetary donations, however. Please make all
checks or money orders payable to Trinity United Church of Christ. Write Trinity
United Church of Christ on the %u201CPay to%u201D line. On the line located next to the
word %u201CMemo%u201D in the bottom left corner of the check, please write Katrina Relief.
Mark your donation on Line 99 of your giving envelope. Thank you for your
understanding and most importantly for your gifts and acts of kindness! (more
here)

In 2007/2008. the Trinity United Church built a $1 million mansion for Wright
(where did all this cash come from?)

Malcolm X%u2019s autobiography seemed to offer something different,%u201D Obama wrote.
%u201CHis repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words,
his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order,
martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.%u201D

Obama is a Trojan Horse..

He would need to leave that horrible church to change my mind%u2026

Dedicated to Black Values and black Africa..
It is not a Christian Church%u2026

have you read this?%u2026%u2026%u2026.this is what his church teaches to his daughters on
Sundays%u2026%u2026%u2026.these are the writings of James Cones - you can look it up -

%u201CBlack theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the
goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people,
then he is a murderer and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is
to kill gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will
accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white
enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power which is the
power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at
their disposal. Unless God is participating in his holy activity, we must reject
his love.%u201D

Why is it risky to denounce a liberal pastor but, not a conservative one?

Getting crowded under that campaign bus: Biden, Geraldine Farraro, Uncle Wright, Samantha Power, The New Black Panther Party, Grandma, Louis Farrakhan.

Barack Hussein will throw anybody under the bus for the nomination.

You forgot he threw Hamas under the Bus also.

And if we want to live in fairy tale land and not believe that the Parsons of hate don''t wield huge influence then why not ask John McCain why he''s trying so hard to appease them. Capitulating on tax cuts and immigrant reform. Taking their line on issues. You don''t do that if people arenn''t influential. You ignore them. I don''t think that I ever heard Barack Obama say that he would start an investigation about Wright''s ridiculous accusations.

I have a question which I believe is legitimate to ask of the news-commentator on PBS, Bill Moyers.

Mr Moyers had the Rev Wright on a show of his on PBS last Friday and in effect gave the Rev the opportunity to portray himself as a reasonable person we all know by now he wasn''t.

Why did Bill Moyers allow, and perhaps even assist the Rev. Wright try to portray himself as a non- "Wack-a-doodle", when in fact, he very obviously turned out to be a "Wack-a-Doodle"?

Would Mr. Moyers like us to believe that he too, was fooled by the Rev Wright?? I think this would be implausible. AND....I evn will go so far as to say that Mr. Moyer shares a portion of the attempted masquerade blame.

Thank You

Where to begin. Hurricane Katrina was God''s judgment on New Orleans. Hugo Chavez should be assassinated. Surpreme Court Justices should die. The only way is to utterly destroy Islam. Gay people will burn in hell. Those are only a few things. Sound like Reverend Wright? Well its not. All of those things have been said by white fundamentalist ministers. And there are many other quotes from them spealing the same hate. Haggee, Haggard, Robertson Parsley, Dobson. All the Parsons of hate. And all extremely important and very influential in the Republican party. The Islam remark was made by Reverend Parsley who John McCain just recently called his spiritual advisor . All of them have wielded that influence in the Republican Party for decades. At least Reverend Wright has a reason for his anger. He comes from that group of African Americans who were oppressed. But what is the Parsons of Hate''s excuse? They all come from White Anglo Saxon Protestant roots. The most powerful priveledged group in America. They have no excuse. And let us not forget Reverend Graham on a Watergate tape participating in racist conversations with Henry Kissinger. How hyprocritical we are. To condmn one and not the rest. Is it because Reverend Wright''s is reverse racism towards whites?

Don''t try to pin any of this *** on HRC you lug nuts; the little emporer has no clothes-he is an empty suit. Why anyone is surprised by his performance is beyond me - he''s a politician folks! When he scratched the good Reverand (who was supposed to introduce him when he announced) this should have sent up red flags for lots of folks. But so many wanted to jump on the OBAMA EXPRESS that they just looked the other way. HRC & JSM,Jr. and not the only candidates with baggage; none of them is perfect but as far as I am concerned they both have more credibility than the con man from Chicago.

And no one person speaks for the Black community; we are just as diverse as any other segment of American society. How the hell did he become the Black candidate anyway? Wasn''t his Mother white? Other than his two daughters - how many Black relatives does he have in this country? And where the hell are his relatives period! Why should his color matter at all anyway - Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Larry Elder, Ward Connerlly are all Black and I don''t see the masses going breathless over them (oh, I forget) they''re Republicans!

Regarding the comments that were made by Obama about Wright. Wright, who "had been" his pastor for over 20 years. The pastor that "brought him to Christ", officiated at his marriage, baptized his children, and was like his "uncle". The pastor that he never knew and now has denounced. The pastor that called him what he is..."a politician". Obama realized that Wright was hurting his run for the Presidency and threw him under the bus with his grandma.

husein''''s comments on wright seem hollow. As wright suggested, hussein, no doubt, still secretly concurs with his views:
"If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected," Wright said. "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."

Many Democrats simply do not want the party to make the same mistake twice by nominating another Kerry-like shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, gas-bag - who is so mentally deficient from extensive drug use he even has to plagiarize his hollow platitudes!.

Thanks to "uncle" jeremiah, the true nature of hussein has finally been revealed. For nearly twenty years hussein has been the disciple and avid follower and supporter of this racial bigot. hussein has publicly praised wright on numerous occasions. hussein gave wright''s church $26,000 in 2007, plus many thousands more previously. wright''s vile, bigoted harangues against America, in general, and white Americans, in particular, illustrate the true foundation of hussein and the "church" of which he is a devout member. The foundation of hussein is racial division and strife - not unity. If it were not for the thin veneer of whitewash slapped on him by his handlers, I would expect hussein to adopt wright''s "God Da''mn America" as his theme song. hussein is clearly an outrageously unacceptable candidate for any elected office or position of responsibility in America.
