A Hillary Clinton aide has ratcheted up the anti-Barack Obama rhetoric over his ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, comparing the Chicago pastor to white supremacist David Duke.

Niall O’Dowd, a member of Hillary’s finance committee, gave an interview to RTE Radio in Ireland saying it’s “legitimate” to raise questions about Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright, whose sermons have included anti-American declarations and suggestions of conspiracies against African-Americans.

“It’s interesting that Barack Obama sat in the pews while all this was going on, and never once in any of his books or anything else” did he denounce Wright, O’Dowd said, adding: “He worshipped the man.”

In the interview, which was reported by the Web site TPM Election Central, O’Dowd also said:

“I think the issue that the Clinton campaign has seized on is that Barack Obama never once raised his voice to his pastor and said, ‘I think your language is quite extreme here, and I think your language is probably wrong.’

“Because let’s turn this around. If this was David Duke and he was preaching … and Hillary Clinton was in the pew, there would be outrage about this.

“And there can’t be this double standard. Barack Obama has used race where it suited him, but when it doesn’t suit him he backs away from it.”

McCain’s campaign ads are just writing themselves.

He wins either way. If Hillary is nominated, he can point out that he really did fly into sniper fire and if Obama wins, he can thump him on his pastor disaster.

But, as you say......... he may not have the guts.

McCain doesn’t have to say anything. He’s walking into the WH.

"No live republicans were used in the making of this analogy."


That is partly because there are too few of them that would have the nerve to.

[rob777]

"Too bad McNasty doesn’t have the guts to tell the truth about Dems."


He is lucky that both Hillary and Obama seem to be more than willing to do his dirty work for him.

Obama has shown that he chooses not to flee from evil, but to hang in there with it. What more needs to be said?

Oh yes, David Duke, an object of hate we have in common with the lefties. Aren't we, ahem "progressive" in this regard. Let's join hands with Code Pink harridans and sing Kumbaya, shall we? In the meantime, let's hear some quotes from the man himself, like where he preaches "God Damn America!", and things comparable to the Holy Reverend Wright's theology.

I'll be the last person to defend the likes fof David Duke, but using a caricature of a man, a caricature drawn entirely by the Left, just don't cut it with this cat!

Wow. She's going for broke. A large portion of the Black community will never forgive her for that comparison. It's a perfectly fair comparison--one that I've been making for a while. But by making it, she's sundering the ties between the mainstream dems and the black radicals. It's not clear to me where she intends to get the votes to replace them. Let's see if the aide gets fired.

[imskylark]

Hillary would have great ammunition using his book against him. I wonder why she hasn’t? I would think she or someone close to her would be reading the book to see if there would be anything to use against him.

Yo Obama! Don't Hate Me Bro!
