Speaking faith into reality ..... neoconpub style? Whatever it takes to control the hyperventilation.

Well when you put faith style & reality into the same thought your bound to come across nonconput and as a result hyperventilate.






See I post post nonsense too.

Your intuition fails you as much as your intellect did.

Fixed.

Well I don't know where your from, but that post made absolutely no sense, I'm thinking English isn't your first language?

Btw "neoconpub style" isn't a word.

                     Well I live in IL. and I posted a few months ago that this guy has skeletons that will eventually come out. And sure enough they have and they will continue to. So far he has gotten "this far" on a smile and the novelty of being a 1/2 black guy running for President. Ask anyone whose backing him where he stands on issues and they will give you a blank look. And now the country is learning his spiritual mentor, the one who married him and baptized his kids, who brought him to Christ in the first place, dont really like white folks?? And you dont think thats fatal to Obama?

                    Do the math? The whacked out white left and the black folks in the country aint enough votes to get him in. And between being raised as a Muslim, and being mentored by this guy in the church, I can hear the white union/church vote stampeding away from him like zebras. You see a lot of the white Democratic vote doesnt feel like we caused a bunch of Muslim fanatics to fly airplanes into our buildings. And that's just one of the many whacked out statements the good reverend has made.

                  And Obama has to be careful in that he doesnt repudiate him to much and piss off his own base. Its quite a problem for him and so far hes blowing it. I believe he's lost his chance and even if he gets nominated hes not going to win. He should have left this guys church long ago if he had such ambitions.

He's beginning to slide in the polls.  Not too much of a slide yet, but the first indications are showing that the novelty is beginning to wear off, and people are starting to take a second look.  Gossamer wings and fairy dust, without any practical experience, is only going to carry him so far.

     I don't think this episode is going to matter much in the long run.  Heck, just
look at the diehards here like Arlo, MT and Crockett.  Obama could be pitchforking
babies on live TV and it wouldn't change their minds.

Change my mind about what? Obama NEVER SAID anything that is exciting the crowd in here. In fact he has denounced all of the things that are exciting the crowd in here.

AND I have never been an Obama supporter... ever.

All that aside, maybe a little perspective is in order. At the risk of having those of you prone to reading mis comprehension I will capitalize..I THINK REV. WRIGHT IS WRONG.

Now in fairness it may be helpful to try and understand where those statements come from. I know understanding this stuff is akin to trying to understand the motivation behind Al Quaida.. God forbid.

Giving AIDS to black people? Why on Earth would a black person jump to the conclusion that the government would deliberately infect them with a disease? That has never happened..... has it? Oh wait, maybe it has. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmtuskegee1.html

Now compare the outrage (and news coverage) over the testing of Holocaust victims by the Nazi's to the amount of coverage you've seen on this issue. Maybe the indignation over past treatment is a little more understandable.

Maybe, but I doubt this will sway anyone to anything other than more BS finger pointing at the guy who never said any of those things.

... not to mention obama's own racial slurs in one of his books.

[Maverick]

If this pastor had a history of such remarks, why did it take a public disclosure in the media for obama to distance himself from it. Did he not recognize it in the first place? Is he really that dense to not recognize racism and extremist remarks from his own friend and pastor. The guy who performed his marriage ceremony, the guy who baptised his own kids. Is that the environment in which he wants his kids indoctrinated? How is that a path to "change"?

I think he knew exactly what kind of person his friend and pastor is. I think he agreed with the comments as he didn't bother to distance himself until it became public (in the context of the nation) knowledge that he was having a long term personal and professional association with a person that bigoted. It's more like turning on the light in a roach infested area. When the light comes on they all scurry away.

Because he didn't want to.

Just look at that interview I posted he did with Hannity & Colmes, that was from last March of 07, and you can tell from that interview that he's bigoted, racist, & just a plain jerk.

Pretty sure they are both words. One's even in the dictionary.
