“He’s a nobody who built a lounge act, like Andrew Dice Clay, on prurience and shock.”

Thanks, THAT is insightful and claifying. The whole post is on the money and nicely sums things up.

Obama and his supporters are essentially saying:
“You have NO RIGHT to judge me (or Wright, or Trinity Church) unless you have gone through the exact life experience we have gone through.” but
“You will just have to trust MY JUDGEMENT to lead this country.”

To extend the same logic, unless you have gone through the exact experience as the Jews in Jesus’ time, the Rev. Wright has NO RIGHT to pass his anti-Semitic judgment either.

Unless you are an Iraq War veteran etc. (insert anything here), you have NO RIGHT to arrive at your own judgment, let alone pass it on to someone else.

Nobody has any right to form their own opinion unless you live through it at least once. Isn’t that the inevitable conclusion?

Obama is a sociopath. He’s a political Ted Bundy.

“was published over six years after the Taba Conference when a Palestinian state was offered to Arafat by the Israelis and, as we all know, the deceased caudillo walked out for fear he might actually have to govern a country. He launched Intifada II instead.”

Talk about reactionary. I think it was a bit more complicated than that. Not saying I agree with then newsletter’s comments– indeed I don’t– but I’m not sure it’s particularly helpful to answer one reactionary comment with another.

That should be “..and to find religious continuity in…”

Thanks Gary.

My first reaction to Wright was to laugh. He’s a nobody who built a lounge act, like Andrew Dice Clay, on prurience and shock.

Obama finds himself in the tough position of being an Eisenhower communist…in reaction to Birch claims that Ike was a commie, someone said “Eisenhower isn’t a communist, he’s a golfer”.

Obama isn’t a racist, he’s a vapor who wanted to be entertained by one, to be stimulated and religious continuity in political leanings he already has. He’s a golfer.

This is worse than being complicit with a scamming loser like Wright. We don’t draw our Presidents from the audiences of burlesque halls.

Good point, Rhod. The Wright dustup is not just about race but more generally about Obama’s radical left, anti-Israel fellow travelers. Brzezinski, Malley, Powers and McPeak are all white.

I suspect “Barry” Obama is lying about a number of racial incidents that supposedly took place during his teen years in Hawaii. I find it hard to believe that a white coach dared to talk about how he distinguished between black players and “niggers.” This incident simply does not ring true. Still, I admittedly could be wrong. We will find out more in the near future as more attention is focused on Obama’s life in the mid to late 1980s.

Let’s say we were to be charitable.

Do we want to elect a man that has been subjected to a constant badgering of the country he is asking us to let him now lead?

Even if we were to say that Obama was not to blame for staying at Jeremiah’s feet, that he was a captive audience, then there are Stockholm syndrome parallels to be considered.

Do we want to elect someone who can be so easily manipulated, so easily dupped?

What is wrong with the Democrats? I mean really, why do they keep promoting people like this?

Terry what we are witnessing among democrats is the inevitable result of identity politics.

Identity politics muffles, starves the real debate we should be having about the challenges we are passing on to posterity.

Identity politics robs the country of an informed choice. That’s why is so easy for Obama to (as 1Banjo put it) tap dance his way out of his 20 year blame America doctrine.

Obama was indoctrined by Jeremiah longer than the Ivy schools padding his resume. If we were to just gather the facts, Jeremiah is the most recent.

What did Obama hear at Princeton and Harvard that made him impressionable to a Jeremiah?
