Clinton-backer McGovern: Harder to Elect a Woman Than a Black Man

JR; Independent,

Here's the proof how laughable you and so many other are: Hillary's former pastor Dean Snyder vehemently defends Jeremiah Wright and calls him an 'outstanding church leader'.

Last week, Dean Snyder, the senior minister at the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington D.C. -- which the Clintons famously attended while in the White House -- released a little noticed statement offering a sympathetic defense of the totality of Wright's work.

"The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times," Snyder wrote. "He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. To evaluate his dynamic ministry on the basis of two or three sound bites does a grave injustice to Dr. Wright, the members of his congregation, and the African-American church which has been the spiritual refuge of a people that has suffered from discrimination, disadvantage, and violence. Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear. Those of us who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr. Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize."

Many of those who call Obama and his pastor racist are them selves racist and evil.They fear of their own evil and judgement.When the truth is spoken there is always a reaction.How many white pastors condemned the 9/11 and even thought it is due americans sins?several.cleans e your heart from evil and deceit

The Hate monngers at work, cant help but flap their lips, or in this case their fingers on a keyboard. Hehe... Hillery thought she was entitled to the Presidency but when she sit back and let a black man beat her, all beats are off. I guess you could say, Are you sure Hillary that you are still a Democrat. You are a too far behind, a day late and a dollor short of any chance of winning this election, ao now you want to steal the election at the Convention. That will only cause a riot, if you think people will sit back ant let you do that, you better get ready for John McCain to be the next President

That is true

Plus the media has helped Obama every step of the way.

Not exploiting his ever so many lies. His misleading and manipulation of the media, people and others.

Whether it is because he is a man, because he is a Great speaker, or Because he Whines and cries for sympathy so often. Or because he is black.

It is not on His merit, honor or knowledge, His honestly, dedication to America or American people.

Mr Obama has put down every government official From the president down. pointing fingers, blaming people for everything wrong under the heavens.
Funny that him being a Senator himself, thinks he is free from any of the blame he is passing around.

Oh wait, his claim to fame, he voted present on most issues or bills. Not doing anything for the people but also so he could say I didn't do anything, it is all their fault.

Of course he fails to realize, Negligence is worse than anything. Showing up for the job to just be paid is worse. Above all his lies and misleading the people is adding to his shame.

He is a poor excuse as a senator and have been, since he was elected for the job. So he is not ready or merits or deserves a more serious job for the government.

Yes, I agree partially with Sen. George McGovern's, D-SD statement. Mrs. Cliton would make a great president during times of peace. However in this turbulent moment of our history where we are fighting two wars , I dont think she can keep the country safe. Security trumps the economy in my opinion and it is a major factor we require from a President. Therefore, the country and for that matter the world is not ready for the leader of the free world to be a female. I am a woman and wont vote for Hillary because of the global political climate we are facing at this moment. Both Obama and McCain will provide the safety and protection as well as leadership we seek in a President druing these troubled times.

Yes, this campaign proved women have yet to achieve even a pretence of equality. That a man as inexperienced and under qualified, as Senator Obama could be doing as well as he appears to be doing in delegates, against the talent and skill Ms Clinton has proves it. But, of course, he is being brought to us all by the same media that brought GWB and the war.

The press seems to pick on Hillary and yet give Obama a free pass. The nit-picking about the Bosnia trip is an example. It WAS A WAR ZONE. SHE FEARED FOR HER LIFE. Maybe she exagerated the danger in her imagination. In any case she WAS THERE. Obama lies CONSTANTLY and makes excuses for his racist preacher, and all the press ever says is,"WASN'T HIS SPEACH JUST WONDERFUL?" Can the Women of this country have a little EQUALITY for a change? The press should be ashamed of itself for the daily battering it gives the first woman candidate for president! What message are we sending our daughters? Women in the press should be trying to bring balanced reporting into the mix instead of just jumping on the "TRASH HILLARY" BANDWAGON!

Senator Obama, make sure you show lot of respect to President Hillary or President John McCain during State Of the Union address.

Be a good boy and go home to Rev. Wright's pagan house.

Obama did not win one big state. He won states that will vote red in November.

Take away his caucus wins and red states and all he has is Illinois.

I think he should step down and let Hillary choose a smart candidate as her VP.

the posts i read here and otherwise sadden me so. nothing but hatred. this is what the great "uniter" has wrought. and he has purposely done so, because he knew that to gain his own objectives he would have to do this. and he cares about nothing and noone other than himself. and yes, i mean obama.

Certainly your list is impressive. It seems to me you forgot the recently elected president of Argentina......

But only mentioning the most positively
impressive on the intenational scene:.....

GOLDA MEIR, INDIRA GANDHI, MARGARET THATCHER....

All of them not making any use of their Gender to be elected, relying on their own merits (not on the of their husbands), honest, straight forward and
not indulging in demogorery, none of them a feminist Men were willing to vote for them, even more then women.

Unfortunately, Hillary does comply with very few if any of these Parameters.

And by the way: men are entitled to and shell refuse to vote for a FEMINIST WOMAN, as well as women to repeal a "MACHIST" MAN !!

Superdelegates,

How can it be that the Clintons were secret rascists and Joe McCarthy types for over the last quarter century and it took the extremely brilliant Obama campaign types like Axelrod to expose this. We have never heard these kinds of claims before the Obama election. Axelrod must be absolutely brilliant, even smarter than Karl Rove to be able to sniff this out. Or is he? Hmmmm, seems like an interesting coincidence o
me.

Please keep this in mind when planning your vote. Do we want the likes of Axelrod running this country?

Where have all the Obama signs gone?

Long time passing....

Yes she can!

But she won't.

He will.

Thank God.

Interferon, you are so right!!! I just logged on and have a hard time believing this. It is pathological. What the heck is this phenomenon? Does a man who preaches conciliation, and change somehow breed this? If so, how?

Mike in Texas,

So where's the sniper fire, the ducking, the running etc. in that story then?

Would you seriously like to deny that Clinton is a liar (NAFTA, Bosnia) in this campaign?

Are you old and wise enough to vote?

For nearly 20 years, Hillary Clinton has been encased in the apparatus of political celebrity. Look at her schedule as first lady and ever since. Think of the thousands of staged events, the tens of thousands of times she has pretended to be delighted to see someone she doesn’t know, the hundreds of thousands times she has recited empty clichés and exhortatory banalities, the millions of photos she has posed for in which she is supposed to appear empathetic or tough, the billions of politically opportune half-truths that have bounced around her head.

No wonder the Clinton campaign feels impersonal. It’s like a machine for the production of politics. It plows ahead from event to event following its own iron logic. The only question is whether Clinton herself can step outside the apparatus long enough to turn it off and withdraw voluntarily or whether she will force the rest of her party to intervene and jam the gears.

Well, yeah, right now it is easier to elect a black man than a woman when the woman is a soulless, pandering liar.

At least McGovern got one thing right...

I agree with Sen. McGovern...it is easier for a black man to be elected president than a woman. This is especially true when the black man has won more states, more delegates, and more of the popular vote in the primary election.

Hillary has NEVER and NOWHERE been under sniper fire.

Think of that when you reflect on her 'mistake'.

So there's no confusion here; these are the plain lies or sick fantasies of a woman who has in a top elite bubble for most of her adult life and who therefore has lost her plain of truth and reality.

That's the last type of woman I ever would like see addressed as 'Madame President'.

It's simply dangerous to have such a pathological liar with an hysterical fantasy as Commmander in Chief.

I'd prefer Cheney over her.
