Obama on Ferraro

Ferraro will now be scripted into that speech for generations to come. she should be mad and she should ask for her name to be retracted from the orginal pages.

I don't think anyone should show Wright respect by calling him "Pastor" or "Reverend" Wright. He thinks he is a man of God, but he's more of an anti-Christ.

Look what type of crowd he's attracting -- racists (Wright, Farrakhan and the violent Black Panthers), corrupt people (Rezko), dumb people (his wife, Ted Kennedy and Kerry, who is a sore loser), etc.

Josee wrote, "Well I think that Obama's reaction to Ferraro may have evolved upon reflection as other situations evolved and I would hope Ferraro could see that in his speech he was not trying to further isolate her but to actually be understanding of where she was coming from."

Well Josee, she stepped down, why doesn't he?

Ferraro should be fired from the campaign. She made disparaging remarks about Senator Obama that were loaded with subtle racism and not helpful. And so she was.

Wright should be fired from the Obama campaign. While he spoke accurately about Hillary Clinton never walked in certain shoes, he also made inflammatory remarks about white racism that are not helpful. And so he was.

Neither one should be disowned. Wright wasn't. I assume Ferraro wasn't either.

This incident proved obama's hypocrisy, and he couldn't be the man for change, using his color as an excuse for racism, Ferraro was right to the point in her comments, and what she said is a fact , " Obama wouldn't be there if he is not what he is", they all know it, he is the new trend for this election season , the new fashion, the obamamania , that will fade away by end of the season in 4th of November,this is part of the show there got to be an Obama , for more excitement and more thrill ,and intense media coverage with more sales and more ads, and he might get the nomination to be the party's choice for the CEO position for more thrill and excitement... WOW what a business,but no nuts will chose a rookie to be the Commander in Chief of the country unless the want the country's future and it's interest to go into the drain and Obama realize this fact very well ,so why he is using Ferraro as a tool ?... hypocrisy ...right ? , where is the change in such mentality ? , McCain will be the right piece of the puzzle, and there got to be an Obama so McCain can insure the position which by the way, will be the best for the country's future and interests. with Obama there you don't need to think much on 4th of November , and this is what's behind Ferraro comments , the good part in this ...senator Obama is full aware of this fact... Mac is Back

tom j, get your facts from someone other than the obama propaganda machine.

Nuts come in many colors
Why isn't the anti-Catholic, misogynistic, gay-bashing preacher John Hagee hurting John McCain, who sought Hagee's support, got it, and appeared on stage with him? Answer: Hagee is white. When whites see a white nut, we dismiss him as fringe. But a black nut? Hold on, pal.

White preachers say the darndest things. Pat Robertson: "Just like what the German Nazis did to the Jews, so liberal Democrats are doing to evangelical Christians."

According to his son, when evangelical pioneer Francis Schaeffer "called for the violent overthrow of the US government, he was invited to lunch with Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr."

The late Jerry Falwell blamed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on American pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, and lesbians.

'so saddened', why do you keep posting those lies?

Obama's father DID herd goats as a boy. He attended American universities on scholarship. Even the airfare was beyond his means, but fortunately the Kennedys had set up a fund for developing world students to be able to get to the U.S. to use their scholarships.

Barack's grandfather was a cook for the British. Is that your idea of 'affluent'? He wasn't a fancy chef - he was a COOK. Ever see the photos of is wife Sarah's hut in Kenya? Not exactly the house of an 'affluent' member of society, is it?

Barack was on scholarship to the school in Hawaii - and lived with his grandparents in a tiny apartment. Ever see the photos?

More to the point, WHY do you feel it so important to portray Obama as part of some wealthy 'elite' group? Is that one of the Rush Limbaugh dittohead talking points? Because I really don't see its relevance, unless you're trying to 'prove' that only people who come from an upper class can do well academically and professionally. Meaning those who don't....

frank storm, actually even the difficult times are lies. the father who was allegedly a goat herder was actually affluent. after time in indonesia, etc., he went to an exclusive private school in hawaii. and on and on. check out site if you want the true biographical info.

Well I think that Obama's reaction to Ferraro may have evolved upon reflection as other situations evolved and I would hope Ferraro could see that in his speech he was not trying to further isolate her but to actually be understanding of where she was coming from.

Obama wants a frank discussion about race, yet when Ferraro tried, she was branded as a racist by the Obama camp.

It seems the only way to discuss issues about race without being branded as a racist is by agreeing 100% with Obama.

Look at the people he was quick to call racist - grandma and Ferraro. Rev. Wright was okay by him because he did some good in his life. Obama is just too naive and young to understand the issues of race. He only tries to use it for his own benefit and nothing else.

In other words, Granny's words gave him an uncomfortable physical response, that he did not like!!

While wright's comments he didn't agree with!!! No physical response.

Guess what, enough Americans had a big enough response for everyone!!

Ones who had a positive respone to Senator Obama before the wright debacle!!!

Yes, Granny was thrown from the train, under the bus etc.!!

Enough said!!!

He said his Grandmothers comments made him cringe!!

He never said that Wright's comments made him cringe!!

That's throwin' Granny from the train!!!

Obama has the audacity to assume Ferraro felt threatened by black people moving into her neighborhood? What??? She spent 40 years fighting for civil rights that enable him to be where he is today. He claims a white person cannot know what it is like to be black which I agree with. Conversely, he cannot know what it is like to be a white woman either. The audacity of that man thinking he can assume how she feels is astounding. She never said anything racist and Obama knows it. Heck even Pat Buchanan knows it and he is very anti-Democrat and hardly considered friendly to the Clinton campaign. His holier than thou attitude needs adjustment America... vote for Clinton.

A lot of people comment on the apparent inconsistency of Obama saying he never heard disparaging remarks made in person by his minister. My mother (white) has a best friend who is black, yet I have heard her on numerous occasions utter generic racial slurs. My mother is one of the most gracious, giving, and friendly people on the planet, often inviting total strangers home for dinner. Yet, when it's a faceless stranger - like some vague race or religion, she suddenly lapses into stereotypes. Bottom line, I believe that the Reverand can say shocking generalities but still be personally loving to a diverse set of people, one-on-one.

obama gives a speech in which he lectures us, as though we are high school students, on race relations. he assumes we are idiots who never realized there is a problem. of course, he has no solutions, but we're supposed to ignore that.

and, of course, we're also supposed to ignore the reason he had to give the speech in the first place - his 20 year relationship with his hate speech giving spiritual advisor. he wants to change the subject to race relations. distract, distract, distract. not working.

McCain Courts Another Anti-Catholic Leader of the Religious Right

"McCain...wants the backing and political muscle of Religious Right leaders, but doesn't want to be associated with their extremism. He runs the risk of alienating Catholics and moderates by pandering for the support of the Religious Right."

The man is a disgrace to the Democratic party. He is not fit to be senator, let alone President.

to Dee (in your response to me):

(respectfully) You might want to go back and re-read both quotes. My post was around "technically". I believe the specific question on Friday addressed the specific soundbytes being played again and again.
