  • Obama credits Selma march for his existence

    A year ago, Barack Obama addressed a group in Selma, AL commemorating the 1965 voting rights march. He credited the event with giving his parents the idea that they could have a child. The result was him--Barack Obama, Child of Destiny. The only problem is he was born in 1961. "What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation...This young man named Barack Obama...came over to this country. He met this woman...(who) had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided...it might...be possible for us...

    On March 4, 2007, at the 42nd Anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, Mrs. Clinton recounted how as a young girl she had the great privilege of hearing Dr. Martin Luther King speak in Chicago: “ The year was 1963”, Clinton said in her speech. “My youth minister from our church took a few of us down on a cold January night to hear someone that we had read about, we had watched on television, we had seen with our own eyes from a distance, this phenomenon known as Dr. King.At Selma, Hillary said she had seen MLK in...

    Townhall ^ | October 8, 2007 | Star Parker
    At this point, there seems little doubt about the ugliness that has simmered, and then boiled, in a little town in Louisiana called Jena. There is a lot that has already been said, and done, about the latent racism in the town that led to the display of nooses on a tree. Racism that led, in reaction, to six black youths brutally beating a young white man, and then the subsequent disproportionate sentencing, in which those black youths could have served prison time for trumped-up murder charges. Action has been taken, and will be taken, so that those charges, and...

    The New Media Journal ^ | October 1, 2007 | Michael M. Bates
    Jesse Jackson is getting some richly deserved criticism for charging Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) is “acting like he’s white” when it comes to the racially charged incident in Jena, Louisiana. Since shooting his mouth off, Jackson’s backed away, claiming he either doesn’t remember saying any such thing or that his words were taken out of context, whichever excuse you’ll buy. If you’re as old as dirt like me, the occurrence is reminiscent of Jesse calling Jews “Hymie” back in the mid-1980s. A faulty memory can be so terribly cathartic sometimes. Jackson also asserted last week that if he were a...

    I’ve been thinking lately that Mark Twain, a man who knew a thing or two about the Mississippi Valley, tells us that he reproduced the various dialects of Huck Finn “with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity.” Actually, Twain’s honesty and genuineness come to mind these days because Hillary Clinton, a woman whose life stands as a screaming testimonial to her complete lack of those qualities, regularly slides into accents so fake, faithless, and false that her most recent performance makes the Southern drawl affected by the sleaziest carpetbagger sound like the genuine article. But why these dialectal...

    ... So, yes, Hillary is awkward and oftentimes inauthentic, but ... I haven't seen any remarks about Barack Obama's performance in Selma, where he slipped quite noticeably into the style and cadence of a Southern black preacher, which is very different from how he speaks on an everyday basis... The main point, however, which is about the art of pandering. All politicians pander, and some are much better at it than others. Obama is particularly good at pandering, in part because he's skilled enough to not look obvious while doing it, but also because he does a very deft job...

    Sunday’s march in Selma, Ala., may have been a sacred commemoration of the “Bloody Sunday” civil rights march of 1965, but beneath it all lurked raw politics, with Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., competing fiercely for black voters. While local churches were packed with parishioners, just a few hundred yards apart on Martin Luther King Jr. Street, the rival Democratic presidential candidates made their pitches, both praising civil rights leaders for paving their way. “Don’t tell me I’m not coming home when I come to Selma, Ala. I’m here because somebody marched for our freedom. I’m here...

    Chicago Sun-Times ^ | JESSE JACKSON | March 6, 2007
    The public reaction to Bloody Sunday in Selma -- where civil rights marchers faced clubs, fire hoses and dogs in a police riot -- led directly to the 1965 Voting Rights Act. About 42 years later, the anniversary of Bloody Sunday enjoyed national attention when the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama converged for the ceremonies. Senators Obama and Clinton spoke eloquently about the courage, dignity and discipline of the marchers. Both acknowledged that they -- or their candidacies -- were an offspring of that movement. Both reminded America that while we've come a long way, we've got...

    ....Turns out, Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't really need Bill. Just as some Obama supporters evoked the image of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during Obama's visit to Brown Chapel AME Church, the Rev. Al Sharpton gave Hillary Rodham Clinton similar props. At the rally before the symbolic march across the Pettus bridge Sunday, Sharpton -- the quintessential race politician -- compared the former first lady's commitment to the civil rights movement to that of Viola Liuzzo, a white woman from Detroit who was killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan March 7, 1965. Liuzzo, a mother of five,...

"I am the fruits of your labour," he told those gathered to mark the 42nd anniversary. "I am the offspring of the movement. So when people ask me if I've been to Selma before, I tell them - I'm coming home." His visit had been arranged weeks earlier. But he was suddenly joined in the town not only by Mrs Clinton, who altered her campaign schedule at the last minute, but also her husband Bill Clinton....

    SELMA, Ala. - Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) reached out to the civil rights generation Sunday on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march, saying the protesters helped pave the way for his campaign to become the first black president. He also urged blacks to take more personal responsibility. "I stand on the shoulders of giants," the Democratic senator from Illinois told hundreds at a breakfast to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the clash between voting rights demonstrators and police. He was just 3 when police with billy clubs bloodied blacks who tried to cross the bridge out of...

    A Mobile judge has breathed new life into a Selma controversy that appeared dead more than a year ago. U.S. District Judge Brevard Hand has ruled the Friends of Forrest, a group that erected and placed a Nathan Bedford Forrest monument on the grounds of the Smitherman Building, has a right to file suit against the city of Selma on four different counts. The city had asked Hand to dismiss the major issues of the Friends of Forrest suit against the city. Hand denied the city's request and said the Friends of Forrest can sue on the following grounds: The...
