This smells of Clinton’s privy. Obama disavowed the Farrakan award from his church. He is not going to turn his back on the people that brought him to the party. I am a hardened conservative but this stinks to high democrat heaven.
In a way that KKK member would disavow some particular action of KKK that brought too much negative publicity.
Hillary or No Hillary, these are facts.
Also, I don’t think idea of defeating a socialist by supporting a bigger socialist works.
“This smells of Clinton’s privy. Obama disavowed the Farrakan award from his church. He is not going to turn his back on the people that brought him to the party. I am a hardened conservative but this stinks to high democrat heaven.”
I know that Obama distanced himself from Farrakhan, but not from the church that made the award. Suppose that a member of our party belonged to a church that gave an award to the Grand Wizard of the KKK. The Democrats would crucify him if he didn’t quit that church.
Many of the bloggers and columnists in question, including myself, are Republicans or at least conservative Democrats (DINOs to the MoveOn.org crowd). If Clinton is the nominee, I will work for her defeat (noting that she, like Obama, also promoted and endorsed Al Sharpton).
I’m sure Obama doesn’t really need you defending him. He’s, theoretically, an adult who should know that he will be judged by the company he keeps.
