Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Together on 2006 Church Newsletter Cover

Something Ed Shultz Pointed Out

This is kind of interesting, because it gets to the heart of this Obama strategy of yours.

It's extremely likely that the KKK would endorse Hillary Clinton or John McCain over Obama. Now he's not saying either of those two endorse KKK policies or share KKK beliefs, but then neither of them have publically REPUDIATED the KKK lately and it raises disturbing questions about both their candidacies. Especially McCain, who has a black baby! I mean, how hypocritical is that, right?

Yet...

Who cares what the KKK says about anything? After all, they have no power base. On the other hand, black liberation theology fuels millions of blacks in their churches. This is a racist ideology that counts MILLIONS of adherents. So, it is meaningless what the KKK says about anything. But what people like Farrakhan and Wright say and the racist agenda they have is no where near as meaningless as the KKK. The KKK WISHES it had as many racist members as Farrakhan and Wright!!

With All Due Respect

If "Black Liberation Theology", which has been around for some fifty years now, was as powerful as you seem to think then those impressionable darkies would have taken over by now. Don't you think?

When...

When and where did I use a pejorative like "impressionable darkies"? And what makes you think this was the direction in which I was going?

After an apology from you, we can continue.

An Apology You Won't Like

I'm not implying you SAID that, and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I do think, however, that it's what you MEANT.

This whole Reverend Wright talking point is based on the idea that black people are in the thrall of their pastors in a way that white people (John McCain, for one) are not. Otherwise, the attention you and others are lavishing on Wright doesn't make any sense. Wright has said this therefore Obama MUST believe it too. Why? Because he's Hawaiian? I'm assuming you all are going for the more obvious characteristic.

The magazine cover you're basing this entry on is a case in point. You assume that Obama must be in cahoots with all those guys even though 1. He's not interviewed in that issue; 2. he obviously didn't pose for the cover with the other subjects; and even though you haven't ever heard of this magazine, and it took a nation of operatives to find it and dig it up two years later, Obama MUST have known. Why? You know why.

Because black people all read the Trumpet and are keeping it a secret from us.

Incidentally, I find it interesting that you believe the KKK has no power base. Do you think that they ever did? Why do you think that the Nation of Islam is more powerful, despite their historical lack of mob incidents and lynching parties?

I suppose it's possible I'm misreading this strategy, but it really looks like racism from here. Like my ex-girlfriend told me, "don't vote for Obama - he's only going to help THEM." That unspoken fear is at the heart of this talking point. And frankly it's primitive and ridiculous.

Well

Well then if we are reading minds, then it is patently obvious you are a Jew hating, religion despising, unAmerican, Stalinist oppressor that would rather kill every conservative you ever met than treat them as humans.

In that you'd be like ever other Marxist, extremist leftist.

Have a great day, murderer.

Actually

I don't despise ALL religion.
