Many of the people you assume are "racists" are far from it. But you won't get their votes if you run around screaming "racist," and crying wolf every time Obama gets asked a difficult question. ESPECIALLY if Obama's pastor/mentor says "God damn America" in his pulpit in front of children and families. Mine either. Not really, Simon.

Obviously, you know NOTHING about Marines. Idiot. With all due respect, no honorable Marine would utter obscenities from a pulpit in a congregation full of children.

And the thought of parents like Barak and Michelle taking 2 young daughters to hear that trash (racism and obscenities) from a pastor standing at a pulpit absolutely disgusts me in terms of their lack of parenting skills. Those girls had no choice, if their parents weren't being more discreet about what they were exposed to. I find that deeply, deeply offensive. Agree.

She is a MOTHER. And she allowed her children to listen to the these hate-filled and obscenity-filled sermons from a pastor, without immediately removing her daughters from that corrosive environment. 2 daughters, sitting by their mother, listening to that filth. She should have known better as a mother. Whether Michelle personally agrees with Wright is irrelevant, really.

Far from old. And just you watch, the longer the campaign continues, the less enthusiastic those young Obamabots will be. I guarantee he's lost a couple thousand due to just this Wright fiasco in the past two days. This may at first sound bad for Dems in the future, but just so I you know, I too, was once a naive new voter, and my hopes were crushed in 2000, but I picked myself up and remain a steadfast progressive. Don't under-estimate the power of loathing for republicans and how it can unite all those people who really truly do want change. For the record, I am a Hillary supporter and I am 24. Far from old.

I think it more han likely the other way around. She keeps him on a short leash to begin with. It’s not like he beats his wife, or anythingHow do you know?

But McCain has al-Qaeda. Have you noticed they are "catching" at least one high-level Bin Laden associate every week now? That means by November, they are going to "have" Bin Laden too! WOW! That ought to make the stock market climb, the US dollar rebound, put gas back at $2.00/gallon and put McCain in the White House! Right, Fleaflicker. But McCain has al-Qaeda.

When I read the MSM, it feels very Orwellian. I especially appreciate your talking about how unacceptable it is that we are allowing this man to run for the highest office in the land. It's positively frightening. For awhile now, I've thought if Hillary isn't the nominee I'll vote for McCain. Now, if Hillary isn't the nominee, not only will I vote for McCain, for the good of the country, I'll volunteer for his campaign. Meantime, I'm keeping the contributions going to Hillary, writing to newspapers in upcoming primary states, and educating everyone I can about how dangerous Obama is. I don't want to overstate it, go hysterical or anything, but people actually elected Hitler... Truly surreal how people will suspend all rational thought sometimes..
