One must wonder now whether Obama is fooling himself, or us.

Yes, we must at all costs. Meanwhile, Hillary is skating to victory while conservatives are preoccupied trying to prove the obvious: Obama is a leftist.

One can always create a “smell test” by observing the behavior in the obverse (i.e., what if McCain had a religious advisor who...?)

You're absolutely correct.

Kill Clinton Inc. and bury it deep.

Then reveal the David Duke-like past of Hussein Obama.

‘Scuse me, Hillary is a leftist also. Republicans KNOW the election will be “McCain vs”. We can’t know both Obama and Hillary out of the election process.

The Rhetoric that Obama uses requires a victim base, an oppressed minority for the WE the good and rightous must defeat them the divisive and intolerant.

The hypnosis works because he delivers it in Civil Rights era prowes. Those that drink the Obama-ade are so smitten that even logic and presentation of the facts about Obama’s church, pastor, mentors means nothing to them a simple explanation from the master will suffice. Of course WE cannot allow these little things .... Like shutting down Free Speech by accusing your opposition of Racism and bigotry.... to matter because we know thats not who he really is...

” Then they came for me and by that time there no one was left to speak up.”

Hillary is imploding over Obama, Edwards just threw his delegates to Obama, the math gets tougher. If Hillary pulls it out, which I hope she does, She will cause the left to riot at the convention because it will have the appearance that she stole the election from the will of the People.

The thing about Grandma's timeless advice is this: It's been out of fashion for a generation. Given the choice between sacrificing reputation and getting power, it's considered sophisticated among some to choose the latter.

Then too, in an era where gambling and prostitution are considered the sports of the "players" -- and everyone wants to be a player -- a reputation just isn't what it used to be.

Again, the reason we should have finished Hillary Clinton off in Texas. With Obama at the head of the ticket and barring an economic collapse, McCain wins with 60% of the vote and carries at least 45 states.

Now, Democrats can support Clinton by saying Obama cannot be elected and feel good about themselves.

Barack Obama was not exposed to this as a young child, taken to hear Wright in the company of his parents.

No, as a child he was exposed to Islam with pretty much the same anti-white, anti-American, supremacy messages

The author is making a fundamental mistake in this assessment of Wright. If she had done a bit more research on Wright, Cone, and Obama she would have avoided this fundamental mistake. All she had to do was google ‘black liberation theology’ or ‘BLT’ will do as shorthand.

If you google ‘BLT’ as I did yesterday, you’ll find that Jeremiah is a much ‘respected; and often quoted leader in that field.

One of the basic premises of BLT is class distinction. By definition, a ‘black’ person is an oppressed person and a ‘white’ person is an oppressor. The converse is that all oppressed people are black and all oppressors are white. The difinition has nothing to do with skin color and only to do with whether one is a member of the ruling classes or not. BTW, this is the basis for Jeremiah’s claim that Jesus was ‘black’, since Jesus was not an oppressor, he was black.

You see this logic play out in Jeremiah’s videos. For example, Bill and Hillary, as members of the ruling class cannot be black and must be white oppressors.

Since our society is ‘oppressive’, then any one who is successful in that society must be white despite their actual skin color.

Of course, the exception is that any one who is part of the struggle to ‘free people from oppression’ is also black. Therefore, Obama is not white despite his being a senator.

"He ain't rich."

"He ain't white."

"And he ain't privileged."

No he ain't either.

Wright's a liar.

He's rich.

He's half white and was raised by his white grandparents.

He's extremely privileged.

Yes, Hussein is an unknown, he and his wife cannot be trusted to be loyal to the United States.

http://www.webloggin.com/1995-barack-obama-mean-cruel-times-christian-right-narrow-minded/

A similar sentiment was echoed by Barack Obama in 1995 as he tried to rally the African-American vote for his Senate run after the Million Man March.

“This doesn’t suggest that the need to look inward emphasized by the march isn’t important, and that these African-American tribal affinities aren’t legitimate. These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a ‘lock ‘em up, take no prisoners’ mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.“

"More black youth are in jails and prisons than in colleges and universities."

Gee, Mr. Wizard, could it be that more black youth are kickin' it with their gangster homeys and committing crimes than studying for tests and taking the SAT?

Today's black culture as a whole DOES NOT value getting educated and getting ahead in the traditional fashion. It's too "white". Sorry if you can't handle the truth.

you’re wrong. IMHO :)
if hillary dropped out, all the democrats would unite towards obama, he’d brainwash the country and any attacks would be labeled as desperate attacks by racist republicans.

Now there’s a big incentive for both camps to spend the next several months attacking and hating each other and there won’t be enough time to unite the party, let alone move to the center after getting the nomination. Remember, they have to compete for the vote of liberals in these primaries. They will sound more and more liberal.

They also have to waste time in puerto rico which won’t even count in the general.

meanwhile, mccain can go anywhere he wants. He doesn’t have to be stuck in pennsylvania for the next few weeks.

A certain percentage would vote for Satan if he ran as a Democrat and promised to keep abortion legal. But a lot of moderates, particularly white moderates, will use Obama's shortcomings as a means of setting aside white guilt and not voting for a black man.
