Poll: PASTOR-GATE CAN HURT OBAMA

A new national study shows voters in all parties are “less likely” to support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama after viewing video segments of his former pastor’s sermons.

The study, conducted by HCD Research among 798 self-reported Democrats, Republicans and independents, was conducted earlier today to gauge Americans’ perceptions of video segments of sermons given by Jeremiah Wright.

One question: After watching the video are you: More likely/Less likely to support Obama?

* Democrats: More likely 19 percent; Less likely 52 percent; Don’t know 28 percent.
* Republicans: More likely 7 percent; Less likely 71 percent; Independents 54 percent.
* Independents: More likely 18 percent; Less likely 54 percent; Don’t know 29 percent.

Besides that, seems like a bunch of rants with no discussion whatsoever behind the foul language, and intermittent death threats. It all seems so, juvenile.

Yeah, around here we try to keep the death threats to a minimum!

Some of the polls are quite disturbing.

Instead of uniting everyone, Obama is doing the opposite.

Banned from DU? Don’t take it personally. I’ve been banned from there a dozen times.

It’s a real shame that you’ve used the word ‘liberal’ as part of your screen name, because if you do in fact actually spend some time here and actually read what true Conservatives actually do say and think, and not what the dinosaur media ‘says’ we say and think, then you will most likely come around to our way of looking at things.
You see, Conservatism is based upon logic and solid ideological foundations, not emotion and Marxism or other failed, unworkable belief systems.

Some things that might surprise you:

1. We’re not racists

2. We’re not ‘full of hate’

3. We’re highly educated

4. We’re extremely open minded (but not so much so that our brains fall out)

and those are just a very few things that might surprise you.....others here can add to the list if they like :-)

So, make yourself comfortable and spend some time here, but you might want to consider changing that screen name unless you want to be CONSTANTLY explaining yourself.

Welcome to Free Republic :-)

If the media gives this speech as much play as the racist Rev. Wright issue

Curious. Do you mean the Rev is racist, or that those who brought up the issue are racist?

Pdx,

A word of advice. If a newbie posts a vanity such as this or an article, we generally expect him to respond to the people who reply to it; otherwise, we think he’s a troll.

Best,

Roy

I DO have to try to point out to you that “liberal” is a misnomer. Who’s more likely to let you smoke a cigar, or tell an off-color joke, or accept you driving a non-Prius, gas-guzzling vehicle? It’s the “Conservatives” that’ll let you get away with that behavior, not the “Liberals.”

The sides have, over the past couple of decades, switched. But the “Liberals” want to have it both ways. Sorry. Today’s “Liberals” are pure fascists. Today’s “Conservatives” likely would love you to drop by, and undoubtedly pour you a drink.

Welcome.

I’m curious. I hope you don’t mind a few questions.

Do you believe Rev. Wright is a racist?

What is your opinion of someone who chooses a bigot as his spiritual advisor/leader? Are you comfortable with such a person becoming POTUS?

Do you agree that the left is NOT color blind and that in fact it is the right, generally speaking, who judge people by the content of their character as opposed to the color of their skin?

Why would anyone support hate speech coming from the pulpit?

Thank you. :-)

Only a dozen? Hey, I almost made moderator a couple of times.

I'm usually a sucker for a good speech.

I imagine others are, too.

I took a look at the YouTube record of Wright's speeches again late last night, after listening to Obama's speech and listening to the spin on MSNBC and CNN. (I'm a former Liberal and like to assure myself that I've done the right thing by turning conservative)

Wright's speeches looked even scarier after hearing Obama's and the media's attempts to make everything seem okay.

Too bad for Obama that his speech can't erase Wright's words.

Not to mention posting a vanity as your first act. Not the wisest reading of the rules that do exist.

But, welcome just the same. Lurking a little bit would not have hurt you and educated you as to “who we are” just the same.

Welcome.

You might want to get a reservation on the name “pdxexliberal”.

You’ll find a lot of people, having lived on the dark side their entire life, discover one day they’re really not happy drinking the collectivist koolaid.

Once upon a time, we were called “Reagan Democrats”. Now many of us are simply libertarians.

You are in for some thoughtful times, friend.
