Obama is a racist. Obama is a racist. Say it a few times, it's not so bad. He's just a garden variety racist. "George Bush don't (sic) like black people" and Obama doesn't like white people. It's all good.

PS- I'm just a "typical white" so what do I know.

I'm not sure, but Jeremiah Wright, Obama's "spiritual adviser", called her "a god damned honkey ho". (just kidding)

I guess the "Chickens have come home to ROOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!" for Obama......

More than that. He must not like his grandmother much either. He sure found a church where she would not be welcome, or feel comfortable at. And if he ever did take her to his church, no wonder she is afraid!

Americans put up with all types of family members. But, a pastor or church? Come-on, that's easy. Just go to a different church.

Oprah Winfrey left this church, back in 1990, because she felt the views of this church were too extreme.

The difference: OPRAH wasn't even running for President of the United States, & exhibited what good JUDGEMENT really is.

I kinda agree, only, at this point, I would say, "GWB likes blacks better than Obama's fav dude."

I agree. Obama is such a racist that he only eats 'racially purified' foods. His favorites are "black eyed peas", "Black coffee", "brown sugar", Fried chicken, and of course, watermelons. He is religious about this to the point that he actually scrapes the "white" cream filling from his OREO cookies and yells ..Kill Whitey!!!! before each dunk into his strictly "chocolate" milk.

The man is racist!! (for any Muslims reading this - the above is satire)

Seriously, few rational people believe that Obama shares all of the extreme views of his pastor. For me, this controversy raises serious questions about Obama's judgment in maintaining so close an association to Wright for over twenty years. Then I factor in Tony Rezko, William Ayers et. al. .... it just looks bad.

There is no debate, from my end, that a double standard exists. I'm not denying that in any way.

Here is a better question; how is Obama being singled out when Mitt Romney was held accountable for his religious beliefs? Do you remember how Mitt Romney's Mormonism was made into an issue that he had to answer too in an official speech?

How is Obama being singled out or treated differently? Looks to me like he is being treated in the same manner that Romney and Paul were treated...
The discouraging remarks against Mitt Romney, regarding his religious affiliations/assocations, were as abhorrent as the ones against Barack Obama. No debate here either.

The questions about his judgment are completely reasonable in my opinion. It's fair to question his judgment because he stuck by his church through thick and thin. But accusations of racism (which I know you were only joking about) are completely unfounded.

Re: Obama Speech 3/18 - "Race In America"

Geraldine Ferraro made a very good point today, that most are forgetting. She is very upset that Obama made reference to her comment, & compared her to his beloved Pastor Wright.

Ferraro stated: Here is Pastor Wright behind the pew, sounding off his racist, hateful comments in front of the church's children.

This while Obama sat in those pews for 20 years, & neither left the church, or did anything to stop it.

We continually remark on the (schools) in the middle east that preach hate & distain for others to their children. Then one day they become terrorists.

One couldn't possibly sit in that church for 20 years & not be considered a racist.

It's the same as if you're hanging around a street gang for 20 years, & then trying to disassociate yourself with the violence the street gang committed.

It's impossible to do.

Re: Obama Speech 3/18 - "Race In America"

Romney was treated unfairly, his mormonism shouldnt have effected hsi candidacy. Ron Paul was treated unfairly, but Ron Pauls political views simply did not jive with most of America. So while the flack over supremacists was unfair, it didnt turn the tide against him, policy should.

It's unfortunate that ALL Obama is being judged on by some are the statements of others. That it encompasses the most important issue for them in terms of candidacy for President. I think that's not only sad, but harmful.
