Comments on: CBS Poll: Good Reviews For Obama Speech

But Problems For Democratic Candidate Remain As Fewer Think He Could Unite The Country

[omahagma]

AJMarine1, as the white grandmother of biracial grandchildren I have been subjected to stares, nasty comments, and been ask if I "am ashamed my daughter has black kids" so why is it racist to acknowledge the disadvantages biracial children face. Am I racist because I worry that these bright, beautiful young people will not be given the opportunities they deserve because people harbor racism? Obviously you''re one of the idiots that would ask me a question like that.

More Americans got killed today in Iraq. But the biggest problem America faces right now is not the war, not the economy, not health care, not NAFTA, Our biggest problem is that old retired Black preacher Rev Wright. God *** Rev Wright and God bless Prick Cheney and his finger puppet Bush.

GreatDriveW, you wrote the truth. If ignorance is bliss then most of the people posting their ignorant racist commemts must be ecstatic.

Compare this to John McCain, 20 years in the military and 26 years in congress, 4 in the House of Representatives and 22 in the Senate.

Posted by trapbreak,

That may be true but why have yu held your peace for 8 years. If these would have been offered 8 years ago maybe McCain would have won and Bush would not have had the opportunity to make the mistakes he has in the last 8 years. Obviously Bush was unqualified to be preseident.

what did the rev say that was racist?

"How many children of biracial parents can make it in a world controlled by racist ideology?" Wright said.

"Children born to parents who are of two different races do not have a snowball''s chance in hell of making it in America, especially if the momma was white and the daddy was black. A child born to that union is an unfortunate statistic in a racially polarized society," he said.


Sounds racist to me.

ATTENTION READERS: John McCain''s new political base is foaming at the mouthg on this comment board.

Beware, as its members treat facts like the plague, and the plague like facts.

However, to get a better idea of who they and their candidate are, it''s recommended that you read their deluded postings of hate and ignorance.

Then, when you''ve had your fill of their transparent propaganda, block them out.

Welcome to the new majority. Obama.

After the Bush Administration, anyone could do a better job of uniting this country.

I suspect that many people who profess to not liking Obama know deep down inside he is the most qualified for the job. Sometimes I think these people do not actually want this country united.

The criticism surrounding Wright has not softened the services at Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama has been a congregant for 20 years. Instead, Moss defiantly defended their method of worship, referencing rap lyrics to make his point.%u201DIf I was Ice Cube I%u2019d say it a little differently %u2014 %u2018You picked the wrong folk to mess with,%u2019%u201D Moss said to an enthusiastic congregation, standing up during much of the sermon, titled %u201CHow to Handle a Public Lynching.%u201D

The church program handed out Sunday also included an essay called %u201CNot on My Watch%u201D from the Rev. Samuel B. McKinney of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Seattle. McKinney said he was %u201Cgreatly disturbed%u201D by the %u201Cmedia feeding frenzy that has tarnished everyone in the process.%u201D

%u201CDr. Wright represents the best among us %u2026 An attack on this man of God is an attack on all those of the cloth who believe in the social Gospel of liberation. And I will not stand for it,%u201D he wrote.


Sounds like nothing has changed at Trinity.

You may not like the stats, but you cannot disagree with facts. Sorry, try again.

[vmcneal2]

neonick..I don''t agree with your stats. But did you know that bigots play with themselves 43% more than normal people.

[fredgrad2000]

What did we LEARN from that speech? That we have race issues still in the US? DUH...would hope everyone knew that. That Obama is a gifted speaker? We ALL knew that too. That his pastor had racial motivations from a different time that drove some of his statements such as that the US gov''t created AIDS to commit genocide on Blacks? We knew that and we all know that''s a complete crock of shi*

What I learned is that Barack Obama is as good at obfuscating the real issues as the Clintons. The issue in this isn''t race; this is whether Obama supports the looney left, MoveOn.org, DailyKos style rhetoric (from Black or White) that is virulently anti-American? And he did nothing to answer those questions; maybe because he is the MOST liberal Senator in the US as independently determined. I don''t care if he or his Pastor are Black; that isn''t even at issue. The issue is how can we support or back a presidential candidate who keeps close 20-year company with an anti-American looney lefty? This has nothing to do with race, that speech was a set-up to ensure his campaign can play the race card when Wright''s comments aligned with Obama''s policies are "brought home to roost" in the general election. Obama knows they won''t play well, and will hurt him, so better have the race card ready!

max0010...GROW UP!!!!!!

[vmcneal2]

Anti-Obama bigots, you are being used but you are too busy bashing to figure it out.

[max0010]

How can anyone believe anything this man says in speeches when you read later that he just says what he wants people to hear so they will vote for him. Barack Obama, who stated publically that he was %u201Coutraged%u201D at John Edwards from receiving monies from special interest groups and said to his followers that %u201CI set the record straight that my campaign is funded by the ordinary people%u201D, not special interest groups. According to the Washington Times, March 23, 2008, %u201CObama%u2019s campaign has sharply criticized the role of outside political groups in the presidential race, has benefited more than any other candidate from millions of dollars in independent political expenditures, records show. The political arm of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and other independent groups have spent more than $7.1 million directly supporting the Illinois Democrat''s bid for the presidential nomination, campaign records show. No one is catching that he says something just to get people on his side and they are completely untrue.

From Patrick Buchanan, March 18, 2008.


Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America%u2019s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.




Good points, IMHO

Can Obama talk himself out of this one?

CBS/CNN = Obama election headquarters.

More cover-ups will be revealed.

Bill Richardson, the ''Hispanic'' that just endorsed Obama, is an attendee of Bohemian Grove...where Moloch is worshipped. Jay Rockefeller supports him... that is Big Oil, Big Banking and War...the same interests that put George Bush in office!
