joyfulgirl said:Ok, let's see...
Samantha Power and Rev Wright are out on Obama's team.
Ferraro is out on Clinton's.
So clearly someone else from Clinton's side will have to go next.
Because we wouldn't want to have to keep focusing on the issues or anything.
Oh wait...I guess we can count Spitzer as being gone from Clinton's side since he was a superdelegate.
Is it even now? Can we move on?

But then who would Jon Stewart add to his "You're Not Helping" segment?
joyfulgirl said:Yes, the monstrous Hillary, doing what no politician has ever done before.
Monday morning on Fox News, McCain said President Bush was qualified to be president because he rallied the nation after the Sept. 11 attacks. But then he added that Kerry is also qualified for the Oval Office.

2861U2 said:Really? For the most part, I think they've been quite tame compared to what I see on Huffington or Kos.
Pearl said:Why are they frightening to you? Because they question Obama? I mean, it is questionable that he had that man as a pastor for 20 years. As the saying goes, you are who you hang out with.
Obama still has 20 years of tie with him. On top of that, he was married by this hateful man and went to his church every sunday. NO ONE in their right mind should vote for obama (who is officially anti-american) he never puts his right hand over his heart, he never wears a flag pin, and now, he listens to hate filled messages against americans.

Secondly, the sheer polarization in this primary campaign cannot be good.
melon said:
Anyone who would not vote for a candidate based on complete nonsense like this, rather than dealing with issues, should have their voter registration revoked. One thing I've feared is that this election has allowed our latent racist and sexist culture in America to come to a head. People are still all too inclined to fear "the Other."

As you can tell, I don't particularly care for charismatic people.
BonoVoxSupastar said:
Yeah, I prefer people who are dry and void of personality.
Pearl said:OK, I see your point. But I see nothing wrong with someone changing their mind about Obama due to his association with this pastor. For the record, I was always leery about Obama because he gives me the impression that he's all talk; he's just a charismatic speaker and nothing else. He's like Bono in a way - could talk himself in and out of everything by just turning on the charisma. As you can tell, I don't particularly care for charismatic people.

John McCain, on the other hand, accepts an endorsement from a white minister (I forget his name), who is known for virulently anti-Catholic rhetoric, amongst other stuff, I imagine, and McCain both states that he rejects those comments while also refusing to reject his endorsement. So does this mean that McCain is a raving bigot, part of a larger "white conspiracy" hell-bent on destroying America?
This is where the racism is becoming apparent.
melon said:What concerns me is the overall reaction to this. Obama, now, is secretly racist against all whites, and part of some larger black conspiracy to destroy America, if you want to believe many of those comments.

I see charismatic people as great manipulators. That's is nothing to admire. I've had personal experience with people with magnetic personalities and their hearts don't shine as much as their personality.
I'm watching AC360 now, and Obama is just using the smooth talk to get his way out of this mess.

I wondered the same thing earlier and thought it may have been merged and not labeled...
May a demon took it over!

I have never had a thread deleted before.
Maybe (as has happened in the past) someone with issues about my threads got the ear of a mod and changed the name.
Since I cannot PM I would like a MOD to contact me Dreadsox@aol.com.
Is it to much to question the RACIALLY HATEFUL speaches put forth by that "minister" of the gospel?
I mean .... If he were white would my thread have disappeared?
