MoveOn Worried About the Polls

No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters—or what they'll do in the privacy of the voting booth.

From the New York Times, April 28, 2008
Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

95% of AA support obama, but “white” americans are racists if we don’t vote for him.

i won’t vote for a marxist, i don’t care what “color” he or she is.

The overwhelming majority of decent, honest Americans will judge ‘not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character’.

Um, the content of his character isn't really a winning argument. Much of his character is a mystery and we are only left with his choice of associates to define it.

[Benjamin Dover]

The dims are really going to be sweating the next 3 weeks. They so badly want the election tomorrow. 3 weeks is a LONG time when you are leading by a razor thin margin. The campaign insiders must be overdosing on Pepto.

Can’t close the deal. Didn’t with Hillary.

Elections in Illinois were not really won, as the other candidate lost or was never in the game.

Great questions.

I’m sure Katie, Brian, Charlie, Chrissy and Keith will be leading their propaganda shows tonight with a look at these serious issues.

[Tarpon]

That's the real elephant in the room -- There truly is "Something About Mary Obama" that just ain't right with the folks.

You look at all the pandering and propagandizing being done by the drive by media, and still they can barely fake the polls over 50%. Maybe it's his middle name? Maybe it's his first name, maybe it's his last name, but there is something wrong with Obama and the electorate.

“...Um, the content of his character isn’t really a winning argument. Much of his character is a mystery and we are only left with his choice of associates to define it...”

I disagree. His character is one of lying, deceit, arrogance, ignorance, and opportunism.

Not much there to see = empty suit.

Pray for rain. It’s typical behaviour for conservatives to brave the elements, while the libs stay home.

[philled]

You are absolutely correct. If you look at the content of his character it is sorely lacking.

Aside from most likely being faithful to his wife and not aborting two children there is very little to respect. Unfortunately, the uncurious media have no interest in giving the public anything on him. No legislative records, no college transcripts, no birth certificate, no college friends, no explanation of his plans, his meddling in Iraq and Kenya, etc.

Its sad that they send a reporter to find John McCain's 80 year old Brazillian girlfriend but can't look into Obomba's associations. To borrow from Dennis Miller: "Its not a case of the emperor having no clothes- its a case of the exquisitely tailored suit not even having a hanger."

[Need4Truth]

“The overwhelming majority of decent, honest Americans will judge ‘not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character’.”

Martin Luther King Jr. I believe.

What irony! If Obama had even halfway decent character and was much closer to the center politically, he could win this in a landslide (imo). But neither is true.

[Bean Counter]

“...or what they’ll do in the privacy of the voting booth.”

That is the crux of this biscuit...

These people are so afraid of personal freedom and actual liberty you can smell it on them...

[mabelkitty]

Obama/Biden are campaigning like the polls are wrong.
They know something they aren’t telling.

[Blogatron]

If 0bama is ahead, why is he fighting so hard and taking so desperate shots?
