You do not make statements like “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” & “typical white woman” without having some of the same BAD beliefs as the Reverend Wright! I wouldn’t stay in a church or anywhere else for 20 minutes listening to that kind of anti-white, anti-black, anti-American, or anti-anyone else teaching let alone 20 years. And I sure wouldn’t take my children there after knowing what kind of things may be said in front of them!

We should have it made this year! All we should be doing is reminding people of how good it was for them and the country in the 90’s but instead we have democrats comparing Bill Clinton to Bush and Nixon and talking about how the republican party is the party of ideas and a possible nominee that compares himself with JFK and Reagan (were they alike in any way?) and distancing himself from Clinton!

You have got to be freakin’ kidding me.

What, I suppose you believe that Jews should thank the nazis for the holocaust which provided the impetus for the creation of the state of israel????

The bigoted, biased logic behind your statement frankly boggles the mind.

Oh, by the way - are you also saying Jena was a hoax??? ROFLMAO

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for “deserving” white kids.

Many wealthy people use this argument to keep the poor angry at each other, as opposed to fighting their real enemy, the rich who exploit them.

Your comment was a text book example of this technique. Where’d you go to school? Not update recently?

This isn’t about poor white v poor black.

This is about shit stupid wealthy people and their shit stupid minions using tired old methods of propaganda to divide and conquer, meanwhile keeping out fresh blood, and new talent.

It gets us the republicans who can’t win a war, (very serious, and very real) and democrats like Obama.

IMO, your essay was racist sophistry.

No thanks, and try something new, something fresh.

Does every catholic agree w/ the Pope (or their own priest’s) views? Does every Baptist agree w/ the Baptist conventions views on the submission of women to men? Do all evangelicals agree w/ the views of Hagee, Falwell, Robertson, et al???? NO

Come on people - we need to honestly and openly discuss the topic(s) at hand and vet each one of the candidates for what they are - job applicants, not contestants on American Idol for pete sake

And maybe UC Berkeley (home of John Yoo).

Perhaps you can start a movement to get the message out on university websites etc. I’ve got a whole littany of lies that he keeps spouting, that can be posted

What makes you assume all children are idiots?

You should worry more about Dr. Beardface Professor, (big head todd, phd), where the real kookdom lies.

Right?

I mean, that whole Obama/neocon/terrorist/University of Chicago/ Columbia/Stanford/Yale/MIT/Princeton/Harvard crowd is koo koo.

Hackers have recorded their IP hits from the beginning

Well, you know, “they” don’t really care, there are simply no more secrets on the Internet.

I see this bandied as a threat, as if hackers have some special ability others don’t.

They don’t.

A run of the mill hacker sees what others want him to see.

Really, now, think.

What alternate universe do you live in?

Obviously no the land of the pedantic troll, drowning in his own lugubrious secretions.

Scary, isn’t it?

Who is friend, who is foe?

Who is talented, who’s not moe?

Heh.

One does not ‘declare a police state.’ One declares martial law, or military rule. You might want to consult a history, political science or sociology textbook

We get it.

He’s speaking in the vernacular.

What is your point?

I’m not sure of the author but this is worth a read!

The “white community,” said Barack, must start “acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination — and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past — are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds … .”

And what deeds must we perform to heal ourselves and our country?

The “white community” must invest more money in black schools and communities, enforce civil rights laws, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system and provide this generation of blacks with “ladders of opportunity” that were “unavailable” to Barack’s and the Rev. Wright’s generations.

What is wrong with Barack’s prognosis and Barack’s cure?

Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, “everybody but the rioters themselves.”

Was “white racism” really responsible for those black men looting auto dealerships and liquor stories, and burning down their own communities, as Otto Kerner said — that liberal icon until the feds put him away for bribery.

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.

Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.

This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions of dollars have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Barack talks about new “ladders of opportunity” for blacks.

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for “deserving” white kids.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago

Pelosi is very jealous of Hillary.

I have to admit I don’t see that one. Is there a history between the two of them?

One bill she got passed recently was the FISA bill without telecom immunity. It wasn’t perfect and it will get vetoed but it was a good step in the right direction.

Nancy’s problem more than anything imo is that collective monkey wrench masquerading as the US Senate.

And this is the guy with a leg problem?

I heard the bozo say something about guilt by association recently in regards to Obama and Wright.

The dud is creepy…

All I could wish for was someone like Colin P. in place of Obama. His associations with radicals like the Panthers?

Does this country need this right now?

The boy that lives next door to me is over there on a 3rd round right now.

I resent Obama’s selfish, untutored agenda at this time in our histroy. It’s frightening to think of him trying to walk into this position of leadership after watching the above.

I don’t know if any of you heard this morning that Matthew apparently said today, “4,000 dead in Iraq due to politicians like the Clintons’”

This is the guy who keeps pointing out the size of Bush’s “package” on the U.S.S. Lincoln and tells his viewing audience that “chicks dig this war” and “we like a leader with a bit of swagger.” This is also the same guy who talks about the attactive qualities of Fred Thompson (smelling of cigar smoke and Aqua Velva). This guy pimped the war from the beginning and now says he was against it! I am so mad I cannot even think straight right now!!

Let me just tell you all alittle something about Mr. Matthews. The man is a diabetic and an alcoholic. I have seen him at The Palm restaurant in D.C. “tying one on”. If you ever wondered why he goes on his little hiatus’s for 1-2 weeks at a time, it isn’t for vacation. It’s to get dried out!!
