The 'Race' Speech Revisited
The Virginian/Washington Post ^ | 5/3/2008 | Moneyrunner

Posted on 05/03/2008 5:53:17 AM PDT by moneyrunner

< href="http://moneyrunner.blogspot.com/2008/05/race-speech-revisited.html">After Obama’s "Race Speech" in Philadelphia, Liberal pundits outdid each other in comparing it to the great orations of all time. In it he found that regarding Reverend Wright:

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother

Charles Krauthammer on May 2nd in the Washington Post:

... the speech was not just believed. It was hailed, celebrated, canonized as the greatest pronouncement on race in America since Lincoln at Cooper Union. A New York Times columnist said it "should be required reading in classrooms across the country." College seniors and first-graders, suggested the excitable Chris Matthews.

In fact Chris Matthews had a virtually sexual reaction to Obama’s speech:

It is worth listening to Wright's speeches because they are not the racist rantings of a backwoods sixth grade dropout, they are the racist rantings of an educated man. And for that reason they seduce, and are for that reason more dangerous.

The concern among the people who are contemplating the electoral slate presented by the Democrats is whether Obama is a younger, more attractive Wright who believes what Wright believes but has learned to talk in such a way as to seduce whites. For Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews, the seduction is complete.

Sums up the facts about formal education nicely.

Obama is as much a racist as Rev. Wright is. IF Obama were to win the presidential election, it’s a done deal and we would be stuck with a radical racist in the White House, like it or not.

Educated? He misuses words more than the average educated person. The content of his message is sometimes downright goofy.

As one of the "garlic-noses" responsible for the murder of Jesus I'd like to invite the good reverend out to my place where he can have a nice chat w/ my cousins (who by the way are all democraps).

Glen Beck performed a valuable community service yesterday by playing, in toto, one of the rev's bile provoking sermons, wherein wright once again put the blood of our Lord squarely and by name on Italians.

I'm ok w/ that, afterall we are all responsible for that murder, my problem is that the "good" rev left himself out of the lynching party. Not merely leaving himself out, but climbed up on the Cross w/ Christ!

There is no understanding of wright that is more important than that. He, and his kind, are on the cross w/ Christ and we, Italians and other white folks, are the lynching party.

Yes rev. come on out and we'll have a nice chat.

Below is an excerpt from a letter a friend of mine received from mine received from a missionary couple currently working in Kenya. I have no way to verify it, neither do I have reason to doubt it. I’ll let others judge its veracity:

(begin excerpt)...Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here.
Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence(over 350,000) and I don’t know the last count of the dead.Obama under ‘friends of Obama’ gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany. He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily.As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic,trying rigged election if he doesn’t win and possibly cause a race war in America.

What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only
true muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world
wide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the muslim infiltration into their countries. By the way. His true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran...(end excerpt)

If this letter is real, and I trust it is because you said so, it deserves it’s own thread.

In retrospect it has now become the Greatest Political BS speech in the history of the world.

Obama's turning surprise about Wright into something to be counted against whites-- one of the more clever devices in that shameful, brilliantly executed, 5,000-word intellectual fraud in Philadelphia -- now stands discredited by Obama's own admission of surprise.

That whole speech was fraudulent, no matter what the NY Times and Chris Matthews says.

Obama’s “Race Speech” said only three things;

1) It’s a black thing

2) Whitey can’t understand

3) Get used to it
