Is America Ready for this Freak Show

By Larry Johnson on May 29, 2008 at 9:58 PM in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Louis Farrakhan

Who is next? Louis Farrakhan? Within the last three weeks Barack Obama has distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger for intemperate remarks they have made. At least Obama had the common sense not to list Farrakhan as one of his spiritual advisors. But not so with Wright and Pfleger. Both appeared on Barack’s campaign site as “official spiritual advisors.” Barack has scrubbed the site of their images, but they were listed and the screenshots are readily available. But Barack cannot erase the past. Here is Pfleger talking to the Chicago Sun Times in 2004 about his young brother:

Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he says.

“I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you’ve got to face God,” Pfleger says of Obama. “Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field, but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father…. I don’t think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is.”

Oh, and white America. You know who you are–Barack referred to you as bitter folks clinging to guns and God. Father Pfleger says you like to rape black people. Listen up:

Barack’s comment about angry, bitter white people did not come out of nowhere. He learned this from Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger and Louis Farrakhan. Barack talks smooth and mellow when the cameras are on, but as we saw in San Francisco, a glimpse of the real man was revealed. The hate of Wright and Pfleger–as Pfleger himself acknowledges–has been drummed into Barack for 20 years.

Here is Pfleger shilling for both Farrakahn and Wright.

And Howard Dean and Donna Brazille want to unleash this freak show on America? No thanks.

Max

Phleger is such a nut job. CRAZY!!

Earth to Phleger: I’m white, and NONE of my ancestors had ANYTHING to do with slavery. I’m Franco-American!

Also: Barack Obama does NOT have ancestors who were slaves in America. It’s more likely that his Arab ancestors were slave-traders. Wouldn’t that be ironic?

http://OTliesvideo Lyn

According to Lamb who did the Obama geneology, Obama Arab ancesters WERE slave traders
CB

In fact, Barack’s white American family owned a few slaves.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/politics/bal-te.obama02mar02,0,3453027.story

It appears that forebears of his white mother owned slaves, according to genealogical research and census records.

The records – which had never been addressed publicly by the Illinois senator or his relatives – were first noted in an ancestry report compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner, who works at the Library of Congress and practices genealogy in his spare time. The report, on Reitwiesner’s Web site, carries a disclaimer that it is a “first draft” – one likely to be examined more closely if Obama is nominated.

According to the research, one of Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfathers, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves who were recorded in the 1850 census in Nelson County, Ky. The same records show that one of Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves.

I feel that men have completely abandoned women in this democratic primary. Obama is surrounded by men yelling at a woman. The old boy loser establishment–political and cultural–has deserted and denounced Hillary. Edwards (LOSER), Richardson (LOSER), Moore (TIRESOME), Springsteen(OVER THE HILL), Daschle (LOSER), Hayden (TAKES JANE’s FAME & STILL LOSER),Kennedy (LOSER for prez) ,Dodd (LOSER for prez), Kerry (LOSER for prez)–all of them trying to hang on to a little attention.
But the religious attacks from Wright and Pfleger demonstrate a deep, DEEP dis-respect for women.

Tricia

Hey of the Springsteen yelling at woman I was at his concert (brought his tickets before he announced.) In south Florida when he said something about Obama he got booed at his own concert and they where not saying Bruce ! I loved it

haha. awesome.

Overall, musicians who are supposed to pride themselves on advocating for the “common man” are supporting the candidate who steals from and supports those who (terrorists) murder the common man.

Google is your friend, denial is not.

Of course, a magazine like Rolling Stone hasn’t really been able to feature, or break, a GREAT musician in years, so I guess it doesnt matter.

Someday…

Truth makes great art, great music.

Not in that crowd, it’s all pretension.

ha, I would love to see that!

Hank in PA

You are so right! Women can sit at the back of the bus according to the Obama Locker Room Club.

Women need to have a 10 million women MArch on Washington DC. I am so sick of this loser Obama and all his minions!!!!!!!!!!
Seattlemoss

Gladys… You are correct
The men that have abandoned Hillary are all losers. They are effeminate emasculated wimps which are a laughing stock to normal moderate Americans.
The only winners in the Democrat party are Hillary and Bill.
If the losers have their way they will rule the party, but they can only do that by cheating and fixing the nomination and kicking out the Clinton wing of the party.
There are real men that call themselves democrat but because of the biased sexist treatment we will be moving on to the only place we can call home. That is or course the Republican party.
Women don’t need to worry about McCain. He is a centrist who has been able to throw off the yoke of the extreme right wing.
A new center coalition is being created which will destroy the sexist Marxists on the left.

s. hall

seattle — as long as McCain keeps Social Security and gets Healthcare for all Americans I will be happy.

beebop

Didn’t you notice? John Kerry (who apparently thinks he will be Secretary of State in an Obamanation) said that universal health care is a “non-starter?” Unless there is a real anti Democratic earth quake, you will have a “Democratic” house and senate. Anything that gets or doesn’t get done can be traced right back to what gets introduced and what doesn’t. I’m not going to just sit here and blame Republicans any more. One thing this primary season has done is open my eyes to the deep and obvious faults within our own party. No straight ticket votes. No drinking the party koolaide. No buying the song and dance that the “Republicans” are responsible for everything. What gets on the agenda is controlled by the Democrats. When we are investigating steroid use by atheletes instead of mismanagement of Social Security funds, we have a problem. And the leadership there is Reid and Pelosi, not the guys in RED.

bigkitty

I want to know their roles in selling Iraq, from the press, to Congress, myself.

And they all think they will have a position in a mythical Obama administration even K**, I bet.

Delusion, top to bottom, bubble much?
don’t feed the bots

beebop 2008-05-30 07:48:39: …”When we are investigating steroid use by atheletes instead of mismanagement of Social Security funds, we have a problem. And the leadership there is Reid and Pelosi, not the guys in RED.”

beebop!!!
Where have you been???? FINALLY! (doing the Snoopy dance) SOMEONE besides me saw the absolute stupidity and misuse of governmental time with that “investigation.” STEROIDS?

Oh yes, PLEASE spend millions of dollars to stop the pandemic of steroid use. This must take top priority! Who cares gas prices are astronomical, the economy is in the toliet, big business has run amok, Iraq, health care expenses and availability, unemployment, displaced hurricane survivors, and so forth?

With the “great savior” poised for takeover, I hope the change we get won’t destroy our country! Official notice of name change: The Obama Nation States… effective Novemember 2008.

motherinKY

What has happened to my party? What is this? I am scared. I have children.

s. hall

The DNC decided to make Obama the nominee no matter what. We weren’t supposed to notice because Hillary was supposed to leave the stage the first time the media said get out. But a funny thing happened — she didn’t go and now they have lost all semblance of propriety in an effort to push her out the door. When did you ever see the leaders of congress stop a nomination? This will cost the party big time but they can’t see what a disaster this is. This is shameful and will be recorded as the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party.

Mary

Pelosi says she will “step in” and settle it next Tuesday.

Who the hell does she think she is?

Max

Gladys: I’m a man and I stand with Hillary!

s. hall

Max sometimes we forget how many men are with us. However, there is something going on that every woman gets because its happened to us. When that fat sweaty guy calls us honey and makes rude remarks and the boss does nothing. We are told in effect — suck it up or get out.

Max thank you for your support and that of millions of men who see this treatment as unfair and see Hillary as the smartest candidate who will work 24/7 to fix this country.

Joe Bob

For such a tough candidate, you sure whine a lot about being mistreated

http://lkcampbell.blogspot.com Lucinda

My husband is a Republican, and he supports Hillary. He says that if had to choose between Hillary or McCain, he’d vote for Hillary. But if it were Obama or McCain, he’d vote for McCain. He says that he doesn’t even want to imagine how Obama will screw over this country. That makes two of us.

Mary

Thanks for pointing out that the DNC’s assumption that women will just fall back in line is silly and shallow.

Many of those women’s HUSBANDS and SONS will abandon the party, too, on their behalf.

I don’t think the DNC has any idea what’s ahead for them.

Cindy

But don’t you get it? Donna and Dean DON’T think these guys are freaks. In Obamaland, they’re the norm.
Max

Gladys: But I agree, there are a lot of men yelling at Hillary. Women, too.
blackmannot4obama

The DNC is a fucking joke! I understand why Republicans don’t like DEMS now. I wonder how in the hell they hope to fix this debacle? There won’t be a dem president for a long time! The DNC has to totally revamp the nomination process and spend MILLIONS of dollars on PR so people know they have changed the process and leadership.

joeysky

I still couldn’t get over that fact that DNC didn’t vet their candidate and let this man run, and back him for the win. This party is gone. I no longer have anything in common with them.

Kinky Ogremann

Remember at the beginning of this year when it was Republicans who were embarrassed to state their party affiliation b/c of Bush and what they have done to this country? Now it’s us – officially an Independent now. I have renounced my Democratic affiliation – as Reagan said: I did not leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left ME.

I am also embarrassed I once supported Howard Dean – the idiot. Glad that scream kicked him out. And that suck-up Kerry too, as well as all the other losers lining up deifying Obama without bothering to at least google some facts on him. Why is it that we the people have to become our own journalists to get any real facts about Obama? Disgusting.
Ai1een

Yes, despite the factors that Hillary will have the POPULAR vote, the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, the SWING STATES and won her delegates by PRIMARIES vs. CAUCUSES where Obama received the same amount of delegates for 2000 votes as Clinton did for over 200,000. votes, despite all that – one of the bottom lines is this: THE DNC IS GOING TO SELECT AS THEIR NOMINEE SOMEONE WHO THEY KNOW IS A CORRUPTION SCANDAL JUST WAITING TO BREAK OUT IN THE OPEN, SOMEONE WHOSE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE IS WORKING AS A PART TIME STATE SENATOR* AND SOMEONE WHO ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 100 WORKING DAYS IN THE U.S. SENATE BEFORE THROWING HIS HAT IN THE RING FOR THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENCY.

People – there are INTERNS in Washington DC right now with more brains & experience than BARACK OBAMA and the DNC is backing THIS candidate?

They all DESERVE TO ROYALLY GO DOWN IN FLAMES!!! Even if Obama wins the Presidency – he will be impeached for the censoring of his corruption will not last forever…it is truly only a matter of time.

s. hall

blackmannotforObama — the first thing the DNC needs to do is get rid of Howard Dean. He has created this disaster, the proportions of which won’t be known for a long time because the media will not admit how bad this is. If they did they would have to come to terms with their own culpability.

bigkitty

Yes, you’re right.

I want to know their culpability in selling Iraq.
HillaryMadamePresident

Oh, they’re getting rid of him…but he is to be replaced by one of Obama’s top advisors (probably code for fundraiser). I don’t know how it works, but I’m assuming that the nominee gets to appoint the DNC chair????

Max

At the very least Hillary should go to the convention with her delegates and her 18 million votes and demand that caucuses be made against the rules.

Ai1een

You are ABSOLUTELY correct.

Max

Hillary was in the US Senate. She was getting the “Plan B” pill approved. She was introducing legislation to limit Bush’s power to go to war in 2002. She was doing a LOT. Where was Obama? Trinity.

MEchelle Hates America!

Hillary was voting to allow Americans access to the courts when they have been poisoned, maimed and had loved ones killed.

OButHussein Odrama wouldn’t anything to help Americans. BO VOTED AGAINST CLASS ACTION SUITS and is proud of it!

He even made a jackass speech to that end.

BO wants to encourage evil doers to pollute and provide deadly Rxs and products to Americans.

The wicked can scheme and scam Americans free from fear of justice.

That’s why they are his biggest donors!

Hey if things do not go our way lets send a check made out to John McCain for a $1 and send it to the DNC and in the memo section put Hillary for President! Pass it on

I’ll do it.

hank48188

Gee, If we could just get rid of white folks and America what a wonderful world this would be. This seems to be the thinking of everyone Obama knows, his wife, his Priest friend and advisor,Rev. Wright and the rest of his crew. I guess Bill Ayers only hates America, haven’t heard him dissing white folks yet. I’m just waiting for the jury to come back in the Tony Rezko trial, I bet getting convicted will make him want to play “Let’s Make a Deal”

Reid and Pelosi are trying to shut the process down now, forcing superdelegates to make up their minds. I have hunch that Reid and Pelosi know that America is souring on Obama and his hate monger associates.

what a tool this guy is; white mayors/governors control the “systems” that control blacks and hispanics? I guess they don’t control any whites? pick and choose to make a stupid argument. Ok let barry become president and let him disenfranchise the black community and then they’ll understand that color has nothing to do with corruption.

meanwhile most Asian groups are matching or bettering whites in standardized test results. Sometimes it’s just about working hard. That’s the truth and it hurts.

Wright. Pfleger. Meeks. (Obama claimed these were his three spiritual advisors.)

Is there a database somewhere with the names of every superdelegate up for reelection? Every one of these delegates from a state where Hillary won should announce their support for her on or before June 3. If they choose instead to arrogantly disregard the will of the people in their own states, then make them pay. Go to the voting booth and kick their collective superdelegate asses to the curb.

I know John Kerry is up for reelection, I think the guy running against him’s name is Oneill. He would be a good one to help, since Mass went for Hillary. that would send a wake up call

Oh Gosh.. though Nedra Pickler (Obama’s biggest fan) has an AP story about this on the front page of Yahoo. She somehow seems to have forgotten to put in the part where Pfleger is a LONG TIME associate of Obama, and was listed on his website as a spiritual advisor, until they made room for him under the bus today along with everyone else.

Pickler goes out of her way to make it sound as though Obama had ‘never heard of the guy’ ala Bush/Lay.

I wonder how Father Phlegm explains away the fact that AFRICANS participated and profited from selling other AFRICANS into slavery. Yep, that inconvenient truth is hardly EVER discussed is it?

I don’t feel guilty, because I’m not guilty and neither were my ancestors. They were digging up rotten potatoes trying to survive a famine in Ireland at the time, so nope, I don’t suffer from ‘white guilt’ – sorry Padre. WTF does slavery have to do with Barack Obama anyways? His ancestors were NOT slaves, his Daddy was a wealthy exchange student for godssakes.

Can you imagine four f*@#ing YEARS of this shite? Neither can I. Hopefully I’ll be able to vote for the nice, sane, smart Methodist lady. If not, I was going to stay home, but I might just consider voting for the Irish guy.

Max

My sentiments exactly! Also why I pointed out how incredibly ironic it would be if Obama’s ancestors were slave traders.

Kinky Ogremann

I watched one video of Pfleger and just felt my heart sank – couldn’t stomach anymore (it would be helpful if you could just do a little transcript of what he says as I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t watch this stuff). It’s just too depressing that pastors that people trust are preaching this kind of hatred – oh, how we long for the days of MLK,Jr and unity and love of everyone instead of mistaken blame and hatred and stereotypes – most Americans are struggling and just trying so hard everyday to stay middle class, they don’t understand this entitlement crap Pfleger is passing – and these guys get millions for spewing hatred.

s. hall

Kinky lets hope that Hillary wants to run as an Independent or we need to vote for McCain. Because this country can’t handle all this hatred.

i need more white people ! how many more guilt by associations does it take before obama is seen for what he is ? a racist, sexist, lying fraud……wtf, i cant believe this, it goes on and on and on……..and they defend this sack of human excrement. are super-delegates cluless, blind and deaf to this pig ? this white hating ignorant piece of crap thinks he can be elected in our great nation ? unbelievable ! i am dumbfounded, not surprised, not shocked, dumbfounded out of my comfort level !
uhh somehow this notion that I am qualified to be president is uhh uhh ridiculous

I honestly don’t know what’s worse. Do you think that it’s Wright and this guy, or the fact that there are hundreds of people cheering? I gotta go with the cheering. The village idiot always had an audience too. It’s called supply and demand. If there was no demand there would be no supply.

The Nutty “Priest” Got Earmarks

Typical of Mr. Obama’s earmarks was a $100,000 grant for a youth center at a Catholic church run by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a controversial priest who was one of the few South Side clergymen to back Mr. Obama against Mr. Rush.

I love it. Thank you for that link, I learn more each day. It seemed to me that the article was pretty even touting Sen Obama’s story of accomplishments, failures
and unconventional or controversial alliances. It seems his message of change encompasses identifying with all groups in the community or political stage. I shows his willingness and ability to included all people and people who have questioned that. All within the unique political environment of Chicago. The question of how can you a be a politician without being a politician is intriguing as it relates to

to this story. It’s really making me want to get up and do something. I was equally inspired yesterday reading stories of Sen Clinton’s ascension and her unique story. I understood her sincerity to this nation and abundance of qualities that more than qualifies her to lead. Her story is so compelling that it’s no wonder that everyone is so passionate.

I’ve read so many links and I’m up way too late every night but this historical election is exciting and I’ve grown to admire almost anyone crazy enough to run but I especially appreciate all who are left.

Oh what a historical event.

Make no mistake – this same demographic you hear about: the white college “youth” that is so enamored of Obama – not is spite of, because BECAUSE of the mockery & scorn that Obama & his supporters flaunt for this country – in 8 years they will have morphed into the most rabid Republicans you can imagine. Think David Horowitz. They are the pendulum that has swung so far to the left (in fact, way past any “left” recognizable to a real Democrat), and when they have a mortgage and a few kids, they will swing to the right, and will be demanding that the government stop taxing them for being “successful”, and demanding that the government destroy all of our enemies, and demanding that the government makes them feel safe. But, for today: they have turned politics into something that makes them “feel good”about themselves – they are not like their parents, no, they are for “change”. Some of them even believe it.

OBlama learned his lessons well in Chicago. When all else fails, CRY RACISM! It usually shuts everyone up and he gets what he wants. It’s in his book. He knew what he was doing. Then he sits back with that shit eating grin of his and says..It’s unfortunate that “THOSE” people say such disingenous things. Bullshit!

What he didnt count on was the backlash! Not this time Barry! Not this time! I’m tired of hearing about the, “500 years in bondage”, Shit! Not one of the AA friends of mine subsctibe to this shit! Most say to me….Those preachers are living large arent they?

Excuse me but I say…..F*** EM ALL! I am so numb to this shit already. If the DNC persist on shoving this Racist down our throats then it is time “WE” formed our “OWN” party.

I would like to see the link for the screen shots. This minister does look and sound like an idiot in these clips. But as a Christian, I won’t divorce my faith when so many faith leaders may have views that differ from mine. For instance. Union Chapel Church in the neighborhood I grew up in has an unusual amount of members who get the holy ghost and fall to the floor each Sunday. Amazing. I have never been touched like that but I will still go when I’m back home to greet the pastor and the people I grew up with because it is a social environment. I’ve been to churches that pass a plate every 15 mins but I don’t feel that I have to give to every fund. One of my favs is Blessed Sacrament, Newark NJ. For a Catholic church they don’t sing, they saang and the father gives it up and it all touches me. When I go to church, I don’t know what the message is going to be but I hope that it resonates to me. Somethimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. When it does, I have been spiritually advised. I don’t divorce my faith when the message doesn’t resonate.

s. hall

toni — when I go to church I don’t expect it to be a KKK meeting. You think this is all so historic? I think this whole primary season sucks. I will never support Obama — he is too full of hate and himself to ever care about the problems of ordinary Americans. I have seen a brilliant woman who understands and cares about the problems of this country more than Obama ever could being trashed daily.

Beverly Leslie

I’m at a point now where I’m speechless. Why anyone in their right mind would be pushing Obarfbag on us is beyond rational thought. This man and his associates are a downright danger to our country. I will be going to the voting booth in California on June 3rd and not be voting for Congressman Waxman because he has endorseded Obarfbag, even thought Hillary won California and he origianally stated he would endorse the winner. He is the only Dem on the ballot, but in the general election I will vote for the Republican challenger happily. I already have a few people who are doing the same.

What else is there to say?

my governor supports him as well, so much for the will of the people. AZ.
Kinky Ogremann

I’m right there with ya Beverly! Hold them accountable as they must have serious judgment issues if they’re backing Obama, not to mention – how do I know they’re not corrupt?

yttik

There’s a lot of white bashing going on right now from all of Obama’s crazy preachers. And race baiting from the Obama camapign. But in the back of our minds we need to remember that Obama is also bashing black people. Some of them recognize it and see it for what it is. It’s in his remarks about “feeding your kids Popeye’s fried chicken for breakfast.” And not standing with black legislators from Florida who have been trying to get votes counted since…2000. And not speaking out against the death threats towards Tavis smiley. And not attending the State of Black Union. Not going to Tennesee for the MLK memorial. Not doing anything for black people actually, except leaving some of them without heat in Chicago for 4 months.

I know all this crap spewing forth from Obama and his associates is going to lead to racial tension and disharmony. It’s almost inevitable, but I beg people to resist it.

This is really like watching a train wreck in slow motion and being powerless to stop it. These crazy ministers are energizing the real racists and there’s going to be a backlash.

Somewhere Rove is laughing his ass off at what the DNC and Democratic beltway elite has handed him. First Wright, then Michelle, Ayers, Barky’s numerous dumbfuck gaffes and now Pfleger doing what amounts to a black face skit for Black folk who eat it up.

I’m sure Farrakhan and the 5 percenters are just lining up for their chance to say stuff as well.

The thing is its clear a Barky nomination is a frigging recipe to totally discredit the DNP for the next decade or two. Because if the DNC, SD’s and party leadership think for one moment the voters are so stupid and crazy as to elect a crooked, ignorant, racist half-Black man with a coterie of friends that belong in either in prison or a lunatic asylum. Well they are dead wrong.

Its also going to alienate so much of the Democratic base that it may fracture the party for good. Not to mention damaging race relations.

As for the SD’s and beltway elite. They have to be some of the dumbest MOFO’s this planet ever produced.

They deserve to lose power.

I remember when Obama’s “crazy Uncle” Jeremiah Wright was having his bigot eruptions and how the far left blogs like “Openleft” were defending and even agreeing with what Wright was saying, and how I told these people as politely as I could that what they were doing was empowering the hatred.

I remember when “Father” Pfleger came out and defended Rev Wright, how on many other blogs, the Obama supporters were saying “see, a Catholic Priest says there is nothing wrong with what Rev Wright said because it is the truth!” And I remember telling these people that Pfleger was a nutjob who is just as bad as Wright. And I remember being called a racist hater because I dared to point out that Wright and Pfleger were nothing but charlatan hate purveyors.
Now that Obama has cut ties to both Wright and Pfleger because they are toxic, just what do these ignorant Obama followers have to say for themselves?
Nothing!
They defended Wright and Pfleger as if their sorry lives depended on it and Obama threw the suckers under the bus!
I’d like to think the Obama supporters are embarrassed for themselves, but as I have learned this primary season, far left wingers have no shame and are even worse people than the right wingers I’ve been bludgeoning into submission all these years.

while you are at HuffPo, check out the article about how Obama wants
to post items for Presidential signature on the Internet and take comments
for 5 days, a la so called direct democracy.

these nitwits want to take the nutroots nationwide and control the
whitehouse on a detailed basis. it’s not enough for them to get
Obama as president, they want to reach consensus as a group
on policy initiatives.

this is sounding like a dangerous mob, even more dangerous
than I expected.

they have to be stopped!!!!

Amalia:

Just looked at the HuffPo piece.

What’s funny is the site developed for Obie-supporters to post their ideas for running the country is titled:

Oh Boy Obama dot com.

Oh Boy??

If a Hillary supporter used the words “Oh Boy” in front of Obama’s name the “Racist!” battle cry would be deafening.

Sounds a little bit like an idea that Ross Perot had….except didn’t he want to do that via Television?

Right now top comments are essays on Father Phlegm’s great works for poor people.

Funny how that appeared so quickly.

I wonder if John Kerry thinks that Obama’s people are crooked? If he thought Bush people were…he should think that Obama people are.

And tell me again before I go to vote in November — why do Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their kids feel they still need to be members of this church, let alone be friends with this priest (who was a guest speaker at this church)? We know about the former pastor of TUCC, Rev. Wright, but now the new pastor seems to think it’s perfectly o.k. to host this type of behavior. Men behaving badly should not be rewarded.

I’m reading the pretzle logic of the Obama apologists on HuffPo re: Father Phlegm.

I mean really, it seems to me you’d have to look far and wide to find so many complete nutjobs. You’d have to put some real effort into it. I guess it’s the Obama charisma..he attracts people like Wright and, is that REALLY a priest? How do you find a priest like that anyhow???!!

I have a few kooky friends but NOTHING compared to this shit. Obama truly IS in a class by himself.

What’s wrong with you people? Don’t you know that Father Phlegm is obviously a member of the New and Improved Democratic Party? You know, the one that Donna Brazile talks about? They don’t need us regular OLD Democratic and democratically principled voters who believe in silly old quaint notions like universal healthcare (yeah, that’s right, universal) and counting every vote and not disrespecting other Democratic candidates for having the unmitigated gall of campaigning for their own candidacy while having testicular fortitude but not actual testicles. No, the apparently New and Improved Democratic Party needs only African Americans, first-time voters, and cheetoz boyz to win in all 48 states! Or is it 57? Whatever, just ask Donna. She’s still a member of the Rulez and Bylaws Committee, by the way. Why not leave her a voice or e-mail message to say goodbye. But first why not remind her that while rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are. – h/t FDR

chris

Is THIS church? Where is God?

tesa

the pastor of my church has a phrase he uses sometimes, “The Church of I Hate You”. I always took it as a reference to fundamentalist churches which preached non stop about such things as the evils of gay people etc…
But Obama’s church is the perfect illustration of the “Church of I hate you”.
This is the ONLY church Obama has real experience with. It is where he “found Christ” (I keep missing the Christ part here) and it is a sick church based in victimization and anger. It is not lifting these people up or giving them a way to love each other.
Obama sat for 20 years in this church and he has the nerve to lecture us about how WE as a party are not inclusive enough of religion? I think he has a warped sense of what religion is or should be.
Obama is such a fraud.

Mr. Johnson;

On Anderson Cooper they had some old footage of BO in Chicago… I wonder where they got the photos. I also am wondering who took the picture of Rezko and Auchi published in the Suntimes…the picture was cropped and I you a penny that Obama was cropped out and that there are photo’s of him in the room. Do we know the name of the Photgrapher.

Anderson said his “Special Investigation Unit is looking into his time in Chicago…

I was yelling at the TV “what NOW you are looking???”

It was a mostly a poo poo piece. But the Muslim gentleman Askia (sp?) said that it was not an “honorable thing” Obama did by challenging Alice Palmer and him…When a Muslim man says that you can take it to the bank. Barak is not an honorable man.

In the 60s or early 70s the Catholic church forced a priest from an east coast state to resign his elected postition as a rep. or senator. Priest were not to involve themselves in politics. Many priest and nuns in S. America were chastised for political involvment. Remove this man from his position. Also the IRS might want to consider giving these churches (black and white) the option of removing these raging hatefilled people or losing their tax exempt status. Note to Barky: Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

I find the idea of an independent candidate HRC very intriguing. If she would take former NY mayor Bloomberg as VP candidate she would firmly base herself in the middle of the political spectrum and push obama to the left and mccain probably out of the picture (and the money would be there, too). This would show crossover appeal and REAL change.

CLINTON/BLOOMBERG 08!

beebop

I could be wrong about this, but with the bundlers from Wall Street clearly in the tank with Obama, I believe that MB is with the Obama camp …. And I think that Mike sees himself as more presidential … he could be hoping — as we are — that BO fails, McCain gets his four years and then it is time for him to make his move.

The Obamas had one thing right, they are definitely not going to get another look at this thing. America will not want to hear his name again after this is over. Has one candidate ever offended more Americans during primary season?

It is terrifying that this man is running for president..It is affimative action gone wild.
KAC

This is really getting silly. Attributing someone’s remarks to a candidate is ridiculous. You can’t control the mouth or thoughts of others. We’re getting way off track here and while this may make good headlines we all know it feeds into the stupidity of most people. The news media simply has to be more responsible on what is really news versus nonsense. While we are strapped with high gas prices, a tanking economy, war in Iraq and a whole hosts of other problems the media is fixated on crazy soundbites from any and everyone who calls himself a preacher.
Hopefully, although I doubt it this will go away once we get into the general election campaign as much of this is probably being fueled by the Clinton campaign.

beebop

Get a grip. The Obama campaign loves this. Or else they would have apologized to HRC and her supporters. They just distanced themselves from this excuse for a priest. When are you going to get the picture that Obama is one hateful, anti-American, anti-white uber liberal? Sure. Hillary Clinton is responsible for this. She just loves to hear herself called a “white supremecist” by a flaming asshole. You’re a blind sheep, aren’t you? So sorry that you won’t be sacrificed for your hero. Hillary or John McCain. NEVER Obama.

Anonymous

@ KAC

I cannot see why this should be irrelevant? Those are not isolated events people are referring to. That’s the mindset of the people surrounding Obama for years and people are wondering if maybe some of it has rubbed off. You have Ayers who Obama attributes with starting his political career, you have Wright who was his pastor for 20 (!) years, who married him to Michelle and baptized his children and you have his wife who is “proud for the first time” and who talks about the USA like it’s a suburb of Baghdad.

And those connections aren’t made up, those are the people who were closest to Obama in the last 20 years. He chose them, they weren’t forced upon him. And normally you chose people you like and who inspire you as wife or pastor or mentor. Now what does that tell us about Obama himself? No proven facts but that’s not the case because Obama chose to run a personality campaign. And if it’s about personality and character his choices in the past show that he should be getting nowhere near the White House.

And where were all of you so-called progressives in 2000? Oh that’s right, while we Democrat’s were voting for Al Gore, you were either not voting or casting your vote for Ralph Nadar because all of you were saying that there was no difference between George Bush and Al Gore. YES THERE GODDAMN WAS A DIFFERENCE YOU PRICK!

8 years later and what great candidate has the Democratic party leadership decided to field? Oh, yeah a George W. Bush wannabe named Barack Obama. See, now there is no difference. Neither man wishes to be questioned. Both believe they were/are due the presidency. Both are vacuous creatures with a Svengali behind the scenes (Rove vs. Axelrod). Lastly, both are arrogant, ignorant assholes that have never done anything for anyone, without it benefiting them first and foremost. See, the Democratic leadership hit upon the idea that if they couldn’t beat the Republican’s, they would simply emulate them! Hence Obama

And now, all you jackasses that could not see the monumental difference between Bush and Gore cannot see the monumental similarities between Bush and Obama. Go back to your D&D and jerking off in your Mom’s basement while downloading porn. Leave the governance of this country to people who have to clean up the messes you and yours make!

John Duh is getting nervous.

You should have seen it coming when nuts – um, no – excuse me.

“Progressives” like Howard Dean & Donna Brazile took over the party.

Ran your AA candidate when he was still wet behind the ears.

Could have let Obambi fulfill his term as a US senator. Maybe even sit this out like he PROMISED he would.

Maybe let himm put some distance between him and his crazy spiritual advisors.

But, no.

Dean and Brazile have been chomping at the bit to kick the Clintons out of the DNC.

They cooked up this “new map” for their Manchurian Candidate and they never counted on the backlash.

Surprise!
Ai1een

John Duuuuuh – “Our way” is called “THE RULES OF THE DNC” – the rules aren’t “I am the nominee because I SAY I am the nominee and because I ran down to Burger King, picked up a paper crown and had Axelrod place it on my head”. The Super Delegates were not installed to be rubber stamps – the REASON there are SUPERDELEGATES is because they are supposed to consider ALL the factors in order to select the BEST candidate…ALL THE FACTORS – THAT’S NOT STEALING…IT’S CALLED…THE RULES.
Your candidate is the weaker inferior candidate – period. Will they select him? Yes – because Obama (in coordination with the corrupt media) have run a campaign of intimidation and race baiting – it is house of cards waiting to crumble…either now or in the White House – it’s coming – it’s just a matter of time.

As for me – if Hillary is not the nominee, I unequivocally will vote McCain. I am an Independent. McCain is a centrist – he can’t push conservative Supreme Court Justices through because of the Democratic Congress and frankly I trust him far more than I would ever in a BILLION years trust Obama. Why? Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, Kahilidi, Auchi, private meeting with the head of the Islamic faith in the U.S. on May 18th, etc. Every one of Obama’s nefarious buddies has connections with the MIDDLE EAST – every single one – and newsflash – they’re all anti-Israel. It IS a fact.

I supported Kerry, and Hillary now for thier views on issues, not beacuse they give great speehes. I think that the mess that has been made by Bush, needs fixed. We NEED heath care, what is his plan? To leave out millions? That sounds great huh? Hillary plans to balence the budget, and mayeb get bafck to how it was years ago? You know remember when most of us had jobs? And msot of us did not loose our homes to forclosure, or pay 4 dollars a gallon for gas… remember those days? I do, so anyway what is your candidate going to do to change any of that? His idea of change is to change this country into something that looks like trinity church… Sounds good huh? What are your reasons for supporting Obama? Let me think, beacuse he draws big crowds? Or because he has friends like the racist preachers? Or beacuse he has no experience>? Or maybe beacuse his wife loves america so much? It can’t be because he will stop gas prices, he already made plain, he won’t do that, it can’t be cause of heathcare cause he leaves out millions. It can’t be to do anything, want to know why? beacuse he never bothers to show up to work to even vote!!!
