More Obama Interview

Keep America safe? God help us all if Obama becomes president. I am in a state of shock that anybody could possibly think this inexperienced, ultra liberal man that has surrounded himself with shady, radical friends for the past 20 years. My goodness, actions speak louder than words, folks! We all know he is a great orator, but is no reason to make him president. Chaos will reign if Obama is elected.

The truth of the matter is that Black Liberation Theology is a perverted branch of Christian Fundamentalism.

Even with the Islamic parallels the more radical BLT is as much about attacking political targets from the pulpit and advocating hate and victimization to attempt to motivate. Cone's ideas mixed up with and unhealthy dose of Farrakans creation is nothing short of poison.

Any attempts to compare the recent and I believe inherent rantings that Obama has been sitting through to 20 year old comments which Hagee apologized to Jewish leaders for is unfair.

I am not fond of "Fire and Brimestone" preaching but it's nothing compared to the hate and profane attacks of political opponents that are commonplace in a church that Obama attended for 20 years.

I would not care for a president who had no idea that hate was being taught in his own church. I don't care so much either for a guy that lies and says he never read the church newsletter or heard any of this race rhetoric.

I would have not sat through even one of these services. I would like a president that can leave such a service. And why in the world is this guy preaching? Running his campaign from behind a pulpit really is hypocritical.

There is considerable information about Obama's father and family on the Internet. Most is fear fueling. Chicagotribune.com is one of the better sources. Kenyan has been flooded with press and other people trying to find information about Obama.

Obama's brother is stating that Obama is Muslim according to Muslim custom - a child is the religion of the father when the child was born. Later in life Obama's father rejected Islam.

Freedom of religion - a founding principle of the United States of America. Obama was born in Hawaii as a US citizen. Muslim tradition does not pertain to Obama. His mother was against organized religion - part of the rebellion of the 60s.

Obama's Kenyan grandfather beat his wife(s) and children, which was allowable by custom in Kenyan . His grandfather would have committed a crime in the US when he repeatedly beat Obama's "real" Kenyan grandmother. Obama's grandmother abandoned Obama's father and aunt when they were grade school age because she did not want to be beat anymore.

As Obama said on father's day, "Any fool can father a child."

Read Obama's book, "Dreams of My Father." You will learn about the older brother's struggles from psychological damage inflicted by Obama's father. Obama's older sister did not like her father for many reasons.

Obama's white grandmother talked his mother out of going to Kenyan. Obama's mother would have been the second wife. In addition, his mother would have lost all rights as a person, which means Obama's father would have all control, including keeping Obama if mother wanted to leave Kenyan.

Obama's father took Obama's older sister and older brother away from there mother and moved where they could not have contact with there mother. Obama's father took them to live with his third wife, a white American women. A major reason Obama's older sister did not like dad.

Obama did not meet any of his Kenyan family until his mid 20s.

What soft questions! A weak interview in my opinion. Another softball.

Kucinich was forced out of the race. I am voting for NADER. BO has poor judgment, a background in corrupt Chicago politics and no experience. NADER has devoted his life to public service with no alliance to corporations.

"Most mainstream Christians have far more issues with the ilk of Hagee and extreme fundamentalism than they do with Black Liberation Theology."

Most people aren't knowledgeable about Black Liberation Theology. Many that are don't see it as a positive belief system or an acceptable one. McCain will falter as Clinton did if he does not take this issue straight to Obama to uncover his beliefs about the church where he spent twenty years with his family.

Obama doesn't believe in Black Liberation Theology. Obama believes in Obama.

Obama and Bill Ayers have big plans for endocrinating - I mean educating - America's children. See Annenburg Challenge and the World Education Forum.

i support hillary. however in all fairness to jake a concerted effort to shove out hillary was the dnc theme of the primary election in general. the script was written by the fat cats party insiders, the dnc, and the media. hard to stay current off topic you know what i mean.

kat yep in the 80's things were getting PRETTY spooky. i will look up the book you suggested on campus or bookstore.

Margaret Atwood wrote a chilling book on the rise of Christian fundamentalism in Handmaiden's Tale. It was a fictional work from the 80's , but quite prescient on the influence of extreme right Christianity on government.

I reiterate. The agenda of Christian fundamentalism is a lot more ominous than Black Liberation Theology.

Why in the world would Obama have Al Gore endorse him in Detroit? He should just spit in their face and get it over with. How much more disrespectful can he be.

Kat.

More and more "mainstream" Christians are returning to the christian base because the large churches have gotten away from the fundamental reasons for their existence. This movement away from mainline churches has been going on for many years now for the same reasons you brought up - more love of God and less politicising from the pulpit especially when hate is preached .

Why not,

You are just way too funny!!

"Obama was responsible for "Friends" and "Seinfeld" ending."

Not that there's anything WRONG with that . . .

debra has the right as we all do as tax paying employers to want to know the details of the person we hire to represent us. i hear an equal amount of fear mongering about conservative judges, and roe vs wade if we elect mccain. so it is foolish and infantile when your candidate is vetted, but it is ok to vet the opponent? no, no, that is not the way it works. we can engage in meaningful discourse without the insults and hate. if this is the message of the antiwar, peace, love, hope, tolerance, and change crowd i want nothing to do with it.

I just watched Obama's interview re his talk with the foreign minister of Iraq. THAT WAS JUST BLOODY AWFUL - HE KEPT LOOKING AROUND - FOR WHAT....A TELEPROPMTER?

kat i don't think so.

kat....WRONG!

Debra - Most mainstream Christians have far more issues with the ilk of Hagee and extreme fundamentalism than they do with Black Liberation Theology.

"Not exactly a very good comparison. The U of Chi versus the local elementary? Here in Cleveland, parents are craving for vouchers - limited amount of money available. With reasonably level playing fields - VOUCHERS DO WORK. Obama and the teacher's union are in the tank together. SURPRISE??"

This goes back to Obama's years of employment by corporate "education" hustlers in Chicago.

Vouchers work only if next-to-nobody uses them. And the price of gasoline is going to throw a monkeywrench into the stupid practice of bussing kids for miles to "better" schools, instead of DELIBERATELY making education worse and worse for the poor.

The teachers union is indeed a foul and corrupt organization. Better they should pay teachers like generals and politicians, and politicians and generals like public school teachers. THAT might work. :^)
