The one on “forgotten ones in Chicago” is the one that the world needs to see the most. I cried when I watched it here for the first time. Mainstream media is Oprahfying him, pap to a proletariat unwilling to look past the McBrand.

He has done something at the FEC which makes it not “open right now” — I question whether our government knows or understands his fundraising via the web target marketing. The blog at Riverdaughter or http://www.savagepolitics.com are two to join with. Riverdaughter used to be part of DailyK, but she is getting a big following. As far as I know these are the only places in the web telling the truth the way we see it.

I’m quite afraid Larry and Susan about what we might see should he not…given what the churches have been preaching, also as I recall he used a threatening sort of tone about that. I saw what he did to Alice Palmer and last night on SNL that same tone was noticed in the comment “Black is the New President, bitch.”

It must be VERY bad economically in the North and the South. I thought the Civil Rights era had made greater strides than they have. It’s a tragic thing for our country in this day and age.
Katrina was the capper. The truth of the matter is I think we are facing a French Revolution, redux very soon here, and that will destroy all the good done since the Kennedy era. It makes me cry. Wright’s speech had a truth in it, and that anger should have been reported on by the Press for years. In Flineo we see the truth. To turn on one’s own people? Those Rezko apartments?
God.

If white Americans of our generation had seen these truths? Where is Jimmy Carter? Our childhoods were full of goodwill towards our fellow men. What destroyed that dream?
Rich non-ethical Baby Boomers in big places without any heart.

We have to prepare a safe place for the PTSD that is going to be coming home. Our country has never seen what this generation is going to experience.
Vietnam pales by comparison, Larry.

I grew up in the era of The Peace Corps. We wanted to save the world, and feed the world. Now
dictators rule, from the corporate boardrooms to countries.

Race and the Risky Game of Claiming Icons
Joseph Lane - January 28th, 2008

In the 1860s, two terribly oppressed groups turned against each other in a desperate struggle to see which one would seize something that both clearly needed and completely deserved. It is quite likely that the division of the suffrage movements in the 1860s cost both dearly. Black men inherited a franchise that was soon rendered meaningless by racist mobs who controlled much of the country, and white women waited fifty years during which the respective fears of the two groups became the pretense for the oppression of both by southern white males.

Last week, Obama, who has denounced various of Wright’s statements, told a Jewish audience that Wright “is like an old uncle who says things I don’t always agree with.” You can find the sermon on YouTube and make your own judgment. For myself, when watching something like this, it is often difficult to distinguish between what I actually find offensive and what it is ingrained in me to believe others will find offensive. Particulars aside, the political relevance is to show Wright as an angry black man — and to tie him to Obama.

If Obama’s the nominee, we will see no end of this kind of stuff. And there’s probably some small benefit for Democrats of getting a preview. But the simple fact is that we wouldn’t be seeing this stuff now if it weren’t for the fact that this is the kind of campaign Hillary Clinton’s staff has decided to wage — often directly and at other times indirectly by not reining it in among her supporters when it crops up on its own. Wright is news today because Ferraro was news in the days just previous. Are her comments racist? That’s a loaded word. And there have been cases where the Clinton team has gotten a bum rap on these matters. What I do know, however, is that Clinton’s campaign and her surrogates have injected the subject of Obama’s race into this campaign too many times now for it to be credible to believe that it is anything but a conscious strategy.

He actually believes it.

During the U.S. attorney firings, I sent him e-mails warning him that the U.S. Attorney in Seattle was a die-hard Republican. I sent him remarks from a speech in which that attorney, though fired by the Bush White House, still was true to the Republican party’s more extreme elements.

He blew me off.

I know why: It didn’t fit with his storyline. He was totally focused on LIONIZING these U.S. attorneys who’d been fired, and he wouldn’t let the slightest DOUBT get in the way of his storyline.

I supplied him with an “inconvenient truth.” He wanted nothing to do with the truth. He was utterly consumed by his mission.

That is NOT journalism.

Does the woman have a clue?

If not, you must. It’s all about Axelrod’s company and strategy.

Something tells me these two, after losing this primary, are going to become the next Jim and Tammy Faye.

Opening a religious based theme park in South Carolina?

Black Heritage(Park) USA..(sorry)

Or will both spend time in prison?

Which, according to the Rev Wright, is also “Black Heritage (Park) USA.”

She has also said on NBC some weeks ago that she “would probably not vote for Hillary if she was nominated”. “I have trouble with her ideas”.

From a reasonable, objective liberal blog it has morphed into an Obama site of one sided information of skewed and biased Hillary Hate. Talking Points has joined DKos and HuffingtonPost,Buzzflash, and Alterman in trashing Hillary on a daily basis.

But TalkingPoints is more disappointing than others as TPM has done really fine investigative reporting and added to truth in the political blogosphere. Josh’s work has filtered down to the MSM, & won his recent award, the equivalent of the Pulitzer for his blog.

Instead I have been reading heavily slanted Obama posts that exclude truthful data that doesn’t flatter Obama. Pushing disinformation and harming Hillary has been employed on a daily basis.

Josh knows full well about Rezko and Reverend Wright as I [and I'm sure others] have written and supplied documentation regarding his backstory & contradictions, and weeks ago wrote to him about the toxic and racist Reverend Wright and his Farrakhan philosophy , details, etc. Josh never ran anything but the most benign apologies and excuses for Obama’s involvement that stressed how unimportant Obama’s ties to Wright were, and continues to do the same now as he keeps selling Obama in TPM.

I expected this from Alterman and HuffingtonPost, as Arianna Huffington has done this before in 2000 as she trashed Al Gore on a daily basis in MSM , and slogged Ralph Nader.She kept telling us that Gore and Bush were alike and only Nader could restore our givernment, blah, blah.

Now I see Josh Marshall who I’ve respected as an objective observer interested in truth, reborn into a member of Camp Obama.

Obama is now covered with the frantic racism and hysterical black anger directed against whites, and our “Goddamned America” that his friend and mentor informs us. Obama’s ties to the extreme left, complete with the odor of anarchisim and violence from Ayers to Wright stands apart from his opportunism and dishonesty regarding all of his dealings and takings from Rezko.

So we see now that Obama is just a politician.

But he is also a Black Separatist and liar who would have us believe the nonesense that in 20 years his friend and advisor never expressed to him any of the damaging screed we can see in Rev. Wrights videos of hate.

That Obama would have us believe this irrational story is all part of his inherent contempt for us. So far he has been able to hoodwink his followers into cult/sermonizing and gained their trust.

I wonder how they will view him now. How Jews will view him now. And how anyone with a grain of intelligence can expect him to win against McCain when even more of this sludge comes out.

We really must find more videos, sermons,dates of church attendance from Chicago Sun Times and Tribune, and am sure we will learn even more news about this fallen “hero”.

Obama should fold his tent. TPM should be ignored.

And we shpuld all listen carefully to Reverend Wright’s preaching to learn what Obama really thinks. Being a member for 20 years to a church who extrudes this garbage shows the kind of bad judgement that is Obama’s resume.

The last frame is also the first frame before the clip begins.

Before the clip begins, you can see the person shaking other people’s hands.

At the end of the clip, you can see a partial view of another person standing in the background, scoping the area out, which appears to be a Secret Service agent standing behind the person in front.

Is that the Barack Obama shaking people’s hands?

They have insisted, moreover, that pedagogy and culture and politics be just as seized with the primacy of these distinctions and with the resulting “privileging” that allegedly haunts every aspect of our social relations.

I don’t know, Susan, bigots are always finding others to blame, and republican bigots use “the politics of identity” to hold minorities back, they just crouch in being “PC” language, when it actually is, very deliberately, a part of their southern strategy.

I have to say I think he’s full of shit.

I think much of the blame instead goes to the republicans like Krauthammer, for stifling, and baiting, the discussion. If we had been truly able to pass an ERA, truly enabled affirmative action would we be in a a better place?

Maybe, there are always problems, but at least it would be progress.

And the republicans baited the southern strategy for years, just like Obama, to achieve power. They’re the main cause of the racial divide we are currently experiencing.

Not addressing poverty? New Orleans?

I bet most of us would be SHOCKED if we knew how Dick Cheney really felt about AA’s.

Who took that out of the equation, was it a deliberate move on behalf of the republicans?

Yes, it was.

really, this is quite sad.

The pillars of American liberalism — the Democratic Party, the universities and the mass media — are obsessed with biological markers, most particularly race and gender. They have insisted, moreover, that pedagogy and culture and politics be just as seized with the primacy of these distinctions and with the resulting “privileging” that allegedly haunts every aspect of our social relations.

They have gotten their wish. This primary campaign represents the full flowering of identity politics. It’s not a pretty picture. Geraldine Ferraro says Obama is where he is only because he’s black. Professor Orlando Patterson says the 3 a.m. phone call ad is not about a foreign policy crisis but a subliminal Klan-like appeal to the fear of “black men lurking in the bushes around white society.”

Good grief. The optimist will say that when this is over, we will look back on the Clinton-Obama contest, and its looming ugly endgame, as the low point of identity politics and the beginning of a turning away. The pessimist will just vote Republican.

What a slap in the face to women to blame them for a man’s actions!

Especially stupid argument for an attorney.
