We're Not in Philly Anymore: Jeremiah Wright is now disowned, and Barack Obama is forever discredited.
Guess it’s time to disown Granny, if Obama’s famous Philadelphia “race” speech is to be believed. Of course, the speech was not just believed. It was hailed, celebrated, canonized as the greatest pronouncement on race in America since Lincoln at Cooper Union. A New York Times columnist said it “should be required reading in classrooms across the country.” College seniors and first-graders, suggested the excitable Chris Matthews. Apparently there’s been a curriculum change. On Tuesday, the good senator begged to extend and revise his previous remarks on race. Moral equivalence between Grandma and Wright is now, as the Nixon administration used to say, inoperative.

Note: The above use of slimy slug, is not a personal attack, just a lame attempt at humor. Acually get a chuckle out of your handle.
Evil and intellect are not mutually exclusive conditions. I haven't seen anyone espouse the view that Wright has a below average IQ. Clearly, he's a very intelligent person. He's just used it to enrich himself while spreading hatred and paranoia. The man does drive a Mercedes and live in a white gated community, hard to achieve that being stupid.
Would you trust a man who, clearly has lied and misled the entire nation on Wright? Compare current rhetoric with the “Race Speech,” and Wright indicating Obama knew full well who he was, and only said otherwise for political reasons. 48% of Democrats believe that Obama shares at least some of Wright’s views, and a majority of everyone else think he does. Wake up. Obama is a racist, anti-American, radical Leftist loon in a suit, with the amzing ability to bamboozle the weak-minded, like some sort of evil Obi-Wan Kenobi. We’ve seen such people before. Don’t forget history, and don’t repeat it.
Yes, the forum post screwed up, saved an old version, and then locked out edit access as I was editing it to re-apply the modifications.
Wright has done that rather nicely himself.
I don’t think you know your pastor’s politics all that well. I certainly don’t. Even if I did, it wouldn’t effect my politics. Naturally, Obama shares some of Wrights views. They both at least believe in Christianity, marriage, and baptism. I daresay you do as well. It’s statistically probable.
Like Bertrand Russell, I am not a Christian. I don't believe in Christianity, although I am generally in favor of it as an inoculation against misanthropic, nihilistic ideologies, such as Communism, National Socialism, and Islam. Marriage, I am in favor of a contract-based society, so marriage certainly fits into that.
You're right. He also hates Jews.
You're going to have to locate a valid and reliable source indicating that there is any connection between McCain and Hagee beyond the political endorsement. McCain is a Baptist, Hagee is not, McCain is from Arizona, Hagee is from Texas.
The note of interest here is that you refuse to comment on how far Hagee is out of touch with the American Agenda.
Um, ok,...what is the "American Agenda?" Sounds creepy and totalitarian.
Or, have you been so programmed that Hagee’s views fail to register?
Fail to register about what? He said some weird things, he's some guy who apparently has a local power base, but largely, he's irrelevant.
Let’s digress for a moment and discuss the far-right agendas of both Hagee and Robertson.
Neither Hagee or Robertson are far-Right. Robertson is some sort of weird religious populist, and populism is a Left-wing phenomenon. As for Hagee, he just sounds sort of like LaRouche, a Democrat.
And before things get even more bizarre, not only am I not exactly white, I volunteered and worked for an opponent of McCain leading up to and including the NH Primary, I have never voted for a Republican candidate for President in a national election in my life, and I am not at all sure I am voting for McCain in November.
Only if you're a gay male, between the ages of 23 and 28, with a college education, who likes cats, and is paying.
Er, that was my point...
