Comments on: Clinton Chats With The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?

[mofofongo]

"There%u2019s a reason why Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama%u2019s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she%u2019s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that ''through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the %u201CFellowship,%u201D aka The Family.''
But it won%u2019t be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet%u2019s shocking exposi, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

[..]

The Family avoids the word Christian but worship Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the %u201Cmeek.%u201D They believe that, in mass societies, it%u2019s only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God%u2019s %u201Cdominion%u201D on earth. Insofar as the Family has a consistent philosophy, it%u2019s all about power %u2014 cultivating it, building it, and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or %u201Ccells.%u201D %u201CWe work with power where we can,%u201D Doug Coe has said, and %u201Cbuild new power where we can%u2019t.%u201D

Hmmm, you judge a man by the church he attends and one of the preachers, yet you let a lie pass. I''ve had enough lies under Bush.

AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LACK OF TEACHING OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY IN THIS COUNTRY. IF EVERY STUDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY EDUCATED YOU WOULD KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF SLAVERY WE HAD OUR RELATIVES RIPPED FROM US ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS AND SOLD, SO WITH THAT
MOST AFRICAN AMERICANS MAY NOT EVEN TRULY BE RELATED. THIS IS HOW WE ADAPTED TO EXPAND OUR FAMILY WITH SOMETIMES NON FAMILY BLOOD. WE HAD NO FAMILY AND OUR SENSE OF FAMILY VALUE MEANT NOTHING TO THE SLAVES OWNERS. SO YES A PASTOR CAN BE A RELATIVE IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WHETHER YOU CONDONE HIS WORDS OR NOT.

She and her "tag-team wrestling partner" Bill have been campaigning like repubs for a while now. Her NAFTA, and Bosnia esposes, along with her refusal to release her tax forms and her being the largest recipient of lobbyist money all point to one conclustion--They say they are still dems, but they are acting more and more each day like repubs. They are taking a page from Lieberman''s play book--This is certainly going to make the Dem convention easier--it''s beginning to look like there will be only one democrat left.

Listen to what Obama says when he preaches:

If Clinton is the nominee they will be blaming her from not getting Bin Ladin. They like her now because she is behind and if they create a tie then Rush''s "operation chaos" will hurt the Democrats. Do we want to relive the scandals of the 90''s spun by the other party as the cause of 9/11?

There are 116 United Church of Christ churches in the Chicago area. There are over a dozen within 10 miles of Barack & Michelle Obama%u2019s home. Why that church? As a private citizens if your family is fine with a pastor and church who holds as even a small part of there views anti American, Anti Semitic, Pro Hamas Terrorist organization, Anti white as part of the ministry it is your right to stay as members and be feed spiritually there and if that is what feeds your soul, fine we as fellow Americans support your rights to that. As to America being OK with our President being a member of such a church, we say no way! No one has ask you to change faiths but a change in church fellowship and spiritual advisers of which you have 116 other churches and pastors to choose from is totally within a reasonable request for someone running to be the next President of the United States! Thank you Barack Obama for your radio address where you let us know you and Michelle have chosen to continue being spiritually feed from that specific church and pastor with ALL there messages. We will support your right to that as a private citizen but we will not elect you as our President. Change & Unity are more then words they require action and hard work! The kind of solutions to serious problems we face is what Hillary Clinton offers us and is the real change and unity we are looking for. You may speak the words about these things but your actions do not.
