Obama's speech on race

[busybody..]

Typical leftist bullshit. If you disagree with their myopic, touchy-feely world view, you're a bigoted, homophobic, racist asshole.



Ishmael

Another typical leftist bullshit is what VERMY SKYE spews forth DAILY!

She exclaims, "You RW dont believe in free speech? Why would you stop him from saying what he wants to say?"

When asked OFTEN, who tries to stop anyone, she is silent, what shit!

Yet, we all know who indeed SILENCES and STIFELS free speech

The very same who scream

RL was fired for ONE sentence

T Lott resign leadership for ONE sntence

IMUS was as well

Bush was a RACIST for merely GIVING a speech at B Jones U

WHAT SHIT!

 

[busybody..]

Plus, from bully pulpit to pulpit bullies. "As for 'the soul of our nation,' we have heard a lot of late about America's need for racial reconciliation. Thanks to the Obama-Wright episode, we also have learned that racial antagonism and anti-Americanism are much more common than we would have guessed among predominantly black congregations in America."

We have met the RACISTS

and they are THE BLACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[busybody..]

I tell it like it is

Typical leftist bullshit. If you disagree with their myopic, touchy-feely world view, you're a bigoted, homophobic, racist asshole.

That's been quite obvious all through this thread. Anyone who voiced a different opinion, or questioned Obama's veracity, was then belittled and insulted. Helluva discussion when only one side is allowed to be heard without being bombarded with namecalling. Childish behavior which has become so typical of radical liberals. They've even resorted to doing it to their own now.


This "firestorm" has nothing whatever to do with race. It has to do with the hard radical left ideology: a virulent level of hate, anti-Americanism, conspiracy, paranoia, and the politics of victimization and grievance.


Let's not be diverted from the truth of what this issue is about. Most Americans are far past race. The majority of Americans would vote for someone of any race, but not of any ideology. Race is being used by the radicals to divert attention from a radical left belief system.


This is not about race or religion. This is about a senator running for president who refuses to disassociate himself with those who spew such hatred toward Americans and the US government. Obama showed lack of judgement and honesty in this matter.

 

[busybody..]

You got a side o' ribs?

I did

Gave it to the wife

 

[Faneros]

The CIA/Ricky Ross connection, crack cocaine sentencing laws, etc. If you are implying that a bunch of guys sat in a smoke filled room one night and conspired? No that did not happen. Has the government facillated drugs entering into the U.S. knowing that they would be distributed in minority nieghborhoods where many people would eventually be arrested and incarerated for the same drugs. Yes.

I love it!

 

[busybody..]

I love it!

You are

RACIST

IGNORANT

and

INTOLERANT

 

[Faneros]

If you think the CIA are a bunch of Girl Scouts who sell cookies door to door to fund their illegal operations you are sadly mistaken. The CIA has participated in all sorts of atrocities. A little bit a drug dealing would be the least of thier crimes.

You had me until this post. You're another nutter

 

[busybody..]

why is it when BLACK RACISTS spew their shit

we are told by the LIBZ

that they are merely expressing feelings and trying to stir conversation?


why is it when Jimmy The Greek, Al Campanis etc said HARMLESS shit

THEY LOST THEIR JOBS AND REPUTAIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Faneros]

You are

RACIST

IGNORANT

and

INTOLERANT

Calling people a racist on Lit (which happens in just about every thread) is equivalent to calling someone fat, its just a word people throw around when they have no other means of discussing a point.

 

[busybody..]

I was being sarcastic

On LIT

Christian bashing threads can go on for pages

as did the Mormon bash thread

By the very SAME that call everyone RACIST

 

[ksmybuttons]

Here's the quote:



I already explained why I thought the quote above was both anti-american and racist. I've also bolded the most relevent sentence. If you still have difficullty understanding my point I can't think of anything else I could possibly do to explain it.

Now can you post some evidence to back his claims?

You know, Zip. I'm doing this because it's you. I read your statement, I read Drixx's statement, and I thought that, part of the problem is that people aren't willing to take the next step and find where people are coming from. In his speech, Barach Obama was telling us. We are willing to take things at face value and be outraged over something someone says from a place in which we have never lived. Reverend Jerimiah Wright has. We all have our stories that have made us what we are, and, if our story isn't pure, I think we owe it to those who have had a different experience to at least try and understand where that person is coming from.

Who are Rev. Wright's people? Not the white community. And, having actually taken the time to read this imformation, I can understand from where his anger comes.

From 1996 -- New evidence has surfaced linking the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to the introduction of crack cocaine into Black neighborhoods with drug profits used to fund the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contra army in the early 1980s.

This evidence has given credence to long-held suspicions of the U.S. government's role in undermining Black communities. According to a series of groundbreaking reports by the San Jose Mercury News, for the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring, comprised of CIA and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency agents and informants, sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles.


Link to the original article.

Repercussions?

In his speech, Barach was telling us to move on and also to acknowledge where it was coming from.

One of the things I thought was interesting, but not surprising, is that it's not addressed in mainstream media. It's in alternative and progressive publications. Hidden from the people who don't want to acknowledge it because they will not take the time to read the information and theirs are multiple ways to denigrate and marginalize those people who might have compassion.


Roughly five times as many whites use drugs as blacks in America, in line with their population ratios, but blacks are 13 times more likely to be prosecuted.

America has by far the highest per capita prison population of any Western country, with more than two million inmates; almost a quarter of these are behind bars on drug-related charges, a tenfold increase over the past two decades in which the war on drugs has been at its height. The racial make-up of the prison population is so skewed as to be unmissable: in California, African Americans make up 7 per cent of the population, but account for 31 per cent of prison inmates, and 44 per cent of those serving sentences under the "three strikes" law. (Add Latinos, and that last figure jumps to more than 70 per cent.)

Personally, Zip, you didn't do it. The Jewish Community didn't. And, to the black community, this is just as real as the holocaust. The difference is that this has been perpetrated by the Black Community's own government.

What would you say to a government that you felt did this to you? Would you try to fix it? Not just for your community, but for all the different communities that have their own stories and make up the American experience?

Barach Obama is going to try. He showed in his speech that he is going to face it head on, and, if we want change, we'll face it, too.

We are going to face a lot of people who are going to try defeatest tactics, say that the US will never change, even as these same people are demanding it of Iraq through war.

At least for one time in my life, and for the future of the son, I'm going to believe in the man who probably is more of a patriot than most.

 

[busybody..]

so the CIA "introduced" drugs into the Black "community"

Did they then ALSO force the Blacks in that "community" to use the drugs?

 

[busybody..]

You "people" can spin all you want

You cant call everyone RACIST, but the REAL RACISTS

Real America has seen, has heard

and doesnt like it!

Clinton takes lead over Obama in Gallup poll



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has moved into a significant lead over Barack Obama for the first time in weeks in the race for the party nomination, according to a Gallup poll.



The March 14-18 national survey of 1,209 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters gave Clinton, a New York senator, a 49 percent to 42 percent edge over Obama, an Illinois senator. The poll has an error margin of 3 percentage points.

Gallup said it was the first statistically significant lead for Clinton since a tracking poll conducted February 7-9, just after the Super Tuesday primaries. The two candidates had largely been locked in a statistical tie since then, with Obama last holding a lead over Clinton in a March 11-13 poll.

Gallup said polling data also showed presumptive Republican nominee John McCain leading Obama 47 percent to 43 percent in 4,367 registered voters' preferences for the general election. The general election survey has an error margin of 2 percentage points.

The Arizona senator also edged Clinton 48 percent to 45 percent but Gallup said the lead was not statistically significant.

the above represents a huge problem for teh DUMZ

and potentially a HUGE problem for MY COUNTRY

If ClitBITCH somehow manages to "steal" the nomination, Blacks may very well sit out the election

(one can only hope)

Further, as some Black "leaders" have said

If the nomination is seen as STOLEN

BLACKS WILL RIOT IN THE STREETS!

 

[busybody..]

One can ony hope this will lead to MASS suicide

By LIBZ and DUMZ

RASMUSSEN POLL: McCain Now Leads By Double Digits:
McCain 51% Clinton 41%
McCain 49% Obama 42%

 

[busybody..]

FWIW, the Senator and you LIBZ and RACISTS can try to make the issue about us, but the issue is about him.

If I were inclined to look beyond the fact that he chose to immerse his young children in Wright's poisonous worldview, I'm stuck on the following: The Obamas, as they've repeatedly emphasized, are not people of great means. Yet, only a couple of years ago, they chose to give $22,500 of their own money to support Wright and his ministry.

That's not guilt by association; that's active, material promotion. Did anything he said in the speech satisfy you about that? Me neither.

Obama’s comparison irks Ferraro
By Gene Maddaus, Staff Writer
03/19/2008

Former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro said Wednesday that she objected to the comparison Sen. Barack Obama drew between her and his former pastor in his speech on race relations Tuesday.

In the speech, Obama sought to place the inflammatory remarks of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a broader context, in part by placing them on a continuum with Ferraro’s recent remark to the Daily Breeze that Obama is “lucky” to be black.

“To equate what I said with what this racist bigot has said from the pulpit is unbelievable,” Ferraro said. “He gave a very good speech on race relations, but he did not address the fact that this man is up there spewing hatred.” …

“On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on the desire of wild- and wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap,” Obama said.

“On the other end, we’ve heard my former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation and that rightly offend white and black alike.”

Ferraro said she had “no clue” why Obama would include her in his speech and said Obama’s association with Wright raises serious questions about his judgment.

“What this man is doing is he is spewing that stuff out to young people, and to younger people than Obama, and putting it in their heads that it’s OK to say ‘Goddamn America’ and it’s OK to beat up on white people,” she said. “You don’t preach that from the pulpit.”

Ferraro also said she could not understand why Obama had called out his own white grandmother for using racial stereotypes that had made him cringe.

“I could not believe that,” she said. “That’s my mother’s generation.”

Obama returned to Ferraro’s remarks later in his speech, again drawing a comparison between her and Wright.

“We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue, just as some have dismissed Geraldine Ferraro in the aftermath of her recent statements as harboring some deep-seated bias,” Obama said…

Obama appeared to allude to Ferraro once more when he said that it would be wrong to “pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card.”

It was Obama’s campaign that drew the most attention to Ferraro’s remark last week and suggested it fit with a pattern of racial comments by Clinton surrogates.

“That’s exactly what he did,” Ferraro said. “It was their campaign that started this.”

In sum, however, Ferraro said she thought the speech was “excellent,” and said she understood why Obama could not renounce his association with Wright.

“I think they got as far as they could go politically,” she said. “They’re looking at their base. Their base is African-Americans. They’re looking at that and they’re trying to walk a very thin line. They don’t want to offend the African-Americans, and this is the way he did it.”


She’s right, you know.

Just as she was largely accurate in her first remarks, as Mr. Obama himself has even stated.

I think Obama's speech and his follow up interviews on the subject have been brilliant. He is addressing the issue head on, not taking the easy way out. I think he's done a great job of easing concerns with the independents, and frankly that is his target audience. His base is solid within the Democratic party and the target audience of both McCain and Obama is that group of independent voters who are willing to vote for either party depending on the candidate. Obama is smart enough to know that he must have that block of voters to win the election, and in my opinion he is doing an excellent job of defusing this issue. Kudos to him.
