“I AM the One For Whom You Have Been Waiting”

Obama was waxing lyrical about last week’s trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, “this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.”
The 200,000 souls who thronged to his speech in Berlin came not just for him, he told the enthralled audience of congressional representatives. “I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions,” he said, according to the source.
Holy Cow. Now, I should admit that I was GOING to write some more about Kaine and his BFF, Obama, as well as their joint BFF, Joe Lieberman, but honestly, how can I resist THIS??
“(T)his is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.”
And:
“I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.”
Well, YEAH, if what the world has been waiting for, and what represents America returning to its “best Traditions” is an arrogant, narcissistic, sexist, thuggish, unethical, pandering, coercing, power-hungry Messiah-wannabe, then, yes - Obama is our guy!!!
I must be some kind of heathen, though, because I just don’t buy it (and before I go on, PLEASE, Oborgabots - PLEASE don’t waste “Comment” space going on and on about how that is not a full quote, and is taken out of context. Frankly, I don’t give a damn if what comes before it is, “somehow” and ends with, “but it should be CLINTON if it is ‘returning’ to its best traditions,” it is the absolute HEIGHT of arrogance and narcissism. Now, go away - let the grown ups talk.). Obama has made the classic mistake - he now believes his own Axelrovian hype. He really DOES think he is The One For Whom We Have Been Waiting! Wowie zowie!!
Last night, I was reading a book by Kathy Reichs, a professor at UNC-Charlotte. Her books are the basis for the show, “Bones.” In this particular book, Death Du Jour, the question of cults comes up. Now her main character, Tempe Brennan, is also a professor art UNCC, a forensic anthropologist. Because of a case on which she is working, she goes to a sociology professor at UNCC (and the information in this books on cults is legitimate - it comes from another UNCC professor of Religious Studies, James Tabor). Because I care, I am going to type out the dialogue for you. Once you read it, you will see why. Dr. Brennan’s comments will be in italics. Red, the Sociology professor’s, will be in regular typeface. Okey dokey - ready? Here we go:
“All right. What’s a cult?”
“Cults are not just groups of crazies who follow weird leaders. At least the way I use the term, they are organizations with a set of common features.” (On age 295, Red makes the point that cults can also be political parties.)
“Yes.” I leaned back in my chair.
“A cult forms around a charismatic individual who promises something. This individual professes some special knowledge. Sometimes the claim is access to ancient secrets, sometimes it’s an entirely new discovery to which he or she alone is privy. Sometimes it’s a combination of both. The leader offers to share the information with those who follow. Some leaders offer utopia. Or a way out. Just come along, follow me. I’ll make the decisions. All will be fine.”
“How does that differ from a priest or rabbi?”
“In a cult it’s this charismatic leader who eventually becomes the object of devotion; in some cases he’s actually deified. And as that happens, the leader comes to hold extraordinary control over the lives of his followers.
“Cults are totalistic, authoritarian. The leader is supreme and delegates power to very few. The leader’s morality becomes the only acceptable theology. The only acceptable behavior. And, as I said, veneration is eventually centered on him, not on supreme beings or abstract principles.
“And often there is a double set of ethics. Members are urged to be honest and loving to each other but to deceive and shun outsiders. (Emphasis mine.) Established religions tend to follow one set of rules for everybody.”
“How does a leader gain such control?”
“That’s another important element. Thought reform. Cult leaders use a variety of psychological processes to manipulate their members. Some leaders are fairly benign, but others are not and really exploit the idealism of their followers.
“The way I see it, there are two broad types of cults, both of which use thought reform. The commercially packaged ‘awareness programs’” - he gestured quotation marks - “use very intense persuasion techniques. These groups keep members by getting them to buy more and more courses.
“Then there are the cults that recruit followers for life. These groups use organized psychological and social persuasion to produce extreme attitudinal changes. As a result they come to exert enormous control over the lives of their members. They are manipulative, deceptive, and highly exploitative.”
Amy here - hmmm, let’s just guess which one I think Obama is?!?! Ahem. The discussion continues, but I thought this was significant:
“I still don’t see why anyone but a nutcase would fall for such crap.”
“Not at all.” He shook his head. “It’s not just marginal people who get sucked in. In some studies approximately two thirds of the respondents come from normal families and were demonstrating age-appropriate behavior when they entered a cult.”
“Has your research shed light on why people seek out these movements?”
“Often they don’t. These groups seek you. And as I’ve said, these leaders can be incredibly charming and persuasive.”
AMY here - the discussion continues, and then this question: “I just don’t get it, Red. How can people be so gullible?”
“It’s seductive to think that you’re elite. Chosen. Most cults teach their members that only they are enlightened and everyone else in the world is left out. Lesser in some way. It’s powerful stuff.” (Kathy Reichs, Death Du Jour, 1999, pp 295 - 300)
See what I mean?? Do you see it?!? To me it is crystal clear. Obama has been engaging in “thought reform,” as discussed in this book, and has taken it to a massive level. For him to come to the House of Representatives as The Anointed One, elevating himself to a height neither deserved or REAL, says a lot. And it says just as much about all of the House members who clapped themselves silly. They want to bask in the glow of The One, they want to show they, too, are in his employ. It is frightening stuff, and we cannot allow him to take over this country. There is no telling what will happen if he does. I thought Bush was bad, but I fear Obama more. He has demonstrated time and time again that he is beholden to no person, no position. He can dismiss even relatives with seeming ease, and change positions as the wind blows. He is a dangerous man, and his followers likewise. Not all of them, mind you, but enough of them seem to have this mentality, which is mighty scary. (The lengths to which some of them have gone is truly scary - hnging a dead rabbit on someone’s door and slashing their tires, for example. That is one extreme, but stealing caucus packets to ENSURE the victory of their One is in the same realm - they will stop at nothing to ensure their Master’s success.)
Again - Superdelegates - this man has flown off into incredibly heady flights of fancy, and cannot be trusted with the most important job on the face of the planet. A cult leader is not what we need to lead us out of our current climate. We need someone whose feet are on the ground, who is clear-headed, who stands with ALL Americans, not just her cultish gathering. There is time. Start now. Lay the groundwork. And come the end of August, protect us from this self-proclaimed Messiah. This heathen has no use for him.
GO TO IOwnMyVote.com and take the survey on Platform Reform for the Democratic Party. Let YOUR voice be counted (well, maybe - this IS the Democratic Party I’m talking about here, but have FAITH that it will matter!).
YEP! Love Kathy’s books!
And yes I’ve read this one.
I’ve been yelling CULTS — since the very first time I had a encounter with Obama cult members.
Cult leaders are users — and they’ve been around since human have been around.
They must have recruited Bob Shrum to the cult because I am listening to him on Hardball vehemently denying that Obama played the race card with his “they will try to scare you because I don’t look like the other presidents on the currency” line. AND he is just as vehemently accusing the McCain campaign of playing the race card by pointing out that Obama’s statement was injecting race. Unless Obama was referring to his Dumbo ears, I cannot think of any other way to interpret what he said other than this translations: “They will try to scare you because I don’t look like the other presidents BECAUSE I AM BLACK. All who oppose me are racists.”
Good thing I haven’t eaten yet or I might have lost my dinner.
and last week when he first said it he said, a 46/9 year old black man, he clearly is playing the race card.
Cults were really big back in the 60s and 70s. I wonder if those are the American “Traditions” O is referring to??
You will be reeducated about these traditions at my string of Camp Obamas now being built across the country.
Or ASSIMILATED in DENVER..
ROTFLMAO - oh, y’all are cracking me up! DO we t-shirts at this camp?? S’mores??
Apparently, YES - cults are the great American tradition!
If you get a chance, NW Rain, go back and read that whole passage abt the cults. I tell you, I could not believe it. It was so well phrased, I thought, no need for me to re-do it…
THANK YOU, Cindy! What a lovely compliment! I am humbled by your kind expression…
Oops - GET t-shirts…
Cults go back to the founding of America — the Pilgrims were members of a religious cult. There are so many religious cults in America — the Shakers is another American cult.
The “Great Awakening” and the whole Advent movement is very cult like — a lot of cult churches were spawned during that period.
Pentecostal church is another cult. Several in Washington — Steeple jacking — hijacking of churching is happening in this state. Individuals leave a cult — join another church that they think is not associated with their old church — turns out that there is a close network of ministers.
In Washington the Republican Party has co-habituated with the Right wing religious nuts. But the really right wing aren’t happy with the GOP so it seems they’ve moved on to the Constitution Party.
Colorado is another prime area for religious cults.
Most people aren’t aware of cult and remain skeptical — which is how cults are able to operate in broad daylight. I also believe that the cults are more sophisticated then they were a few decades back.
Obama is using sophisticated cult indoctrination techniques — or Axelrod us doing the manipulations FOR Obama. But I expect that they are team and that Obama is well aware of what is being done on his behalf. He wants to win and he will use any means for that win.
In February I watch Obama thugs in the caucus I attended use very sophisticated techniques to manipulate the voters. It was a team effort from TRAINED operatives.
The only way to fight this takeover is to understand what cults are, how they operate and how cult leaders manipulate their followers.
Where’s the deprogramming booth for Obamans?
I need to know the address so I can send my father, my stepmother and my brother there.
I know what you mean — I need to send my sister-in-law — her husband and her two sons!
These are people I would never have guess would fall for a cult — but they have.
Like the ones in the Hanford area.
My parents were in a cult beginning in the sixties. It was very violent and I’m lucky to be alive. I finally got away when I was seventeen. There are still active cults all over but they are underground (my parents cult was underground, a Satanic cult).
I believe Obama is dangerous, and the jokes about camps - I totally get and appreciate the humor - yet for me personally the jokes aren’t funny. I’m afraid it could become real.
But I have faith that Hillary will rise! And, if not, I have faith in the American people to send Obama back to Chicago or to a desert island.
Glad you are through it, sorry if it sounds trite,
I am so glad my immediate family is resistant to authority, of ANY kind apparently, even the change agent with the iv of narcotic strength koolaid!
Rev. Amy,
You are a riot! And always on point. It’s women like you and Heidi Feldman and others, who give us hope! It is Y’ALL who are the ones we’ve been waiting for!
Thank you for another great post.
hear hear
here here?!
ditto!
I am a symbol of a possibility.
Resistance is futile.
Cannonfire has a great cartoon of him looking in the mirror saying this.
My child, after my coronation this cartoonist will be escorted to a Camp Obama. Until then I will unleash flocks of idle, rich, white self-styled “progressive” HuffyPosters to hound him and define him as a racist.
There’s got to be a pattern with cult leaders, dictators, recruiting young followers. Like 18-to-22 year-olds. He needed their adoration back in his law “professor” days:
I saw that article - and yes, he wanted to be their best buddy, unlike any of those other (profesional) professors!
It reminds me of a friend in seminary telling me that when he was at Wake Forest, he had classes with Maya Angelou. She called EVERYONE by their last name (Mr. or Ms. Whatever). Guess which one I respect more?
You happen to see what BO was writing on the blackboard?
“Relationships built on self interests” ….
Utilies Banks and Corporations = $$$
Ya think that BO was talking about himself.
It seems he wants to appear younger than he is. Wonder how many young people are really laughing at him behind his back?
It was really creepy to see Maria Shriver saying he is ‘the One’ — on one of the videos — this is the same garbage we’ve heard about Rev. Moon.
An excellent resource on cults — is “Snapped” — it is a must read for anyone interested in cults — and why seemingly mature & logical people are falling for Obama.
My degrees are in Psychology & Group Dynamics — plus I’m cult survivor — I was raised in a Religious, Evangelical Charismatic cult — which is probably the reasons for the degrees.
People who should see through Obama are not — many have been taken in by one of the many images he projects.
You are quite right abt the cults - people don’t know just how prevalent they are. We just hear abt the ones like Waco and Jim Jones. When I was a chaplain in Boston, we had to deal with cults a LOT. Those college kids were PERFECT targets.
Hey, wait…
Good article Rev. Amy. Very thought provoking. Obama has alarmed me for quite awhile. I see this cultish pattern as being so similar to the global sweep of fascism that sometimes I don’t sleep all that well. Most of these people that are his most ardent followers either don’t read history…Or they have read politically slanted revisionist history ( that’s a whole different topic ) or they just are blindly and willfully reckless. When a ” CULT ” seeks to dominate those outside of themselves….against the will of their neighbors then you have a lot of rampaging and conquering goin on. When that same
” CULT ” justifies it’s actions by devaluing through concentration on racial, religious,ethnic or class status those outside their circle….You have the mechanism of FASCISM.
Fascism can be theological and often is in Theocracy.
Fascism can be Political and Ideological.
It is always Authoritarian….And it is always BLOODY RUTHLESS TO OPPOSITION.
RECALCITRANCE WITH A HEALTHY DOSE OF SKEPTICISM IS THE BEST DEFENSE.
Hey, WCA -
Yes, the lack of framing by historical precedent by so many, particularly those who are in academia, is mind boggling. It has not been long, in the scheme of things, that the world was faced with powerful fascists (and heaven knows, there are a number of dictators out there now, but they are trying for world domination).
It just seems that so many of these people are willing to suspend disbelief. THat’s fine when you’re going to a movie or something, but electing the leader of the Free World???
LaRouche is still around, preying on college kids. Every election he hits on something….anti-Cheney sentiment, then weaves it into this giant conspiracy. 4 years ago it was somehow Cheney and Gore were in cahoots and they made up global warming.
The cult is at every protest or rally with their newspapers.
I didn’t read all their “evidence” but It always involves the Jews secretly running the world (British Banker Jews). The 9/11 cult used the same holocaust-denier/Jews knew the towers were coming down, etc etc conspiracies.
This year the LaRouchies are targeting all the people who see Obama as a fraud. It’s true cults lure people by bragging *only they* “know the truth.” So now they go around to all the sites collecting data on Obama’s fraud, etc, and inject these conspiracies about Soros. If you see the word Soros in relation to Obama, it’s a LaRouchie. Skip their links. Same old story. The final chapter always ends with Jews secretly running the world.
Funny how that works, eh? I was raised in the Holy Roller Four Square Pentecostal church. Ended up finding myself studying Sociology and Psychology in college, which was a surprise, since I started as a Math major. Oh well…
hmm Parochial schools and Catholicism and History and Religion majors….
So Obama has become a symbol for beer, bratwurst, and rock music, since those are the reasons he got such an enthusiastic reception in Germany?
Ya.
they heard Obamafest they saw Oktoberfest
now it is one and the same
apologies to Oktoberfest
Bo: I’m the one you’ve been waiting for.
Others: damn right, did ya bring the beer?
BHO, you make me and I know a lot of sensible people puke… How could he be so presumptuous. In the first place, what does he have to offer? Nothing better, nothing new. Obviously, he doesn’t even know because he is always grandstanding. I doubt he knows what he is talking about for we already know that if he talks spontaneously or without a teleprompter or without preparation, he doesn’t talk sense. I hope something would happen to stop him being nominated and if he does, I pray and work hard that he does not win for he is the most unAmerican person running for public office I have known. God bless America!!!
Sounds like something out of the book of Revelation. In the Korean war it was called brain washing. Jonesville comes to mind too. The sickest one of all is the leader.
Re: Lieberman as their BFF–
In case casual readers do not know, Lieberman was Obama’s mentor in the Senate. Obama appeared at a crucial JJ dinner when Lieberman was being challenged by Ned Lamont.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/connecticut/articles/2006/03/31/obama_rallies_state_democrats_throws_support_behind_lieberman/
(Lots of Dems endorsed Joe over Lamont, but that’s what you have to do for a Dem incumbent — it was just Obama who went to save Joe with a personal appearance.) And in 2004, when Joe had a brief run at the presidency, Kaine was right there for him.
So, If Obama gets elected, and Kaine is on the ticket, can we look forward to Lieberman as Secy of Defense?
Obama is in such a bind. If he selects Biden, we have someone who was the cheerleader — in public — for McCain to join the ticket with Kerry.
And Edwards? Now the Charlotte Observer is writing about the story that no one in the DNC will speak about. http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1160048.html
Here’s a shout out to TD: the Charlotte Observer was able to get its hands on the alleged “love child’s” birth certificate. http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1160737.html You’d think someone in the MSM could get its hands on the original Obama birth certificate.
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards_hush_money_to_mistress/celebrity/65226
EDWARDS’ HU$H MONEY TO MISTRESS
A NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter – the mother of his “love child” – has been secretly receiving $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-up orchestrated by the former presidential contender.
$15K a month to sleep with John Edwards.
Sounds like a great deal.
Lucky her.
Too bad he was such a POS that he couldn’t be bothered with condoms.
AH, shucks. I reckon I don’t have to write that other piece! Well done, Katmandu!
And that’s the thing - everyone claims they support Obama because of the war. Yet, they FAIL to acknowledge that during the primary, Obama was stumping for that MASSIVE War Hawk, Lieberman, over the ANTI-war Dem., Lamont. And yes, people will make the argument abt Lieberman being an incumbent Dem (yeah, right - he hadn’t voted with the Dems for a while), but WHY would Obama stump for him as much as he did?? Some anti-Iraq war guy, huh?
There’s a video on YouTube of Obama strong arming Lieberman out of the chamber. . Now, to me, that takes a lot of gall - and reminded me of him almost coming to fisticuffs in the IL Senate - with him being the instigator (that was actually in the New Yorker ARTICLE they had abt him - his team threw up all of the smoke and mirrors abt the cover so people wouldn’t read what it said INSIDE). Another quick-tempered spoiled arrogant brat, just like Bush!
As a native Charlottean, go Observer!
BO isn’t picky about who he rubs up against when his Political opportunist radar goes of. He has campaigned for Sen. Sanders(I) instead of the Dem candidate. I make no inference about Sen. Sanders. BO is replete with examples of this. His sense of loyalty stops at the end of his Hoover nose.
Once while playing guitar on Market Street, with the case open for change, I was almost recruited by some Moonies. Thank goodness the guy who I was jammin with chased ‘em off.
All in a days work trying to survive.
BO reminds me off the three rules of “SCREAM”;
.
Great stuff Rev. Amy. You need a tenor for the choir?
loves it!
Wes roolz :0>
Speaking of some of our great leaders (sic) how bout this…. died laughing when I saw it.

Beautiful!
karma karma karma chameleoooon
you come and gooooooo
Yowsa yowsa, tsk tsk Nancy
just reviewing the book review you can see she thought SHE was the role model for girls everywhere
sorry Nancy, you have to DO something with the power we give you to be the role model, you know like Hillary does….
Pretty soon the price of that book will be less than her poll numbers.
gonna be remaindered for sure.
If this is the one Pelosi has been waiting for maybe she needs to visit her shrink or maybe get her old man some viagra.
Must be shift change at bot HQ.
LOL.
no they are all over at the Political Machine fawning for Obama and over some of the hacks there. The latest is this, the ad McCain ran with Paris and Brittany, it was racist because the girls were blond!
Now that is funny. So McCain should have run an ad with some narcissistic black women in it? Well, there’s always Ms. Brazile.
You just HAD to say it, didn’t you, Ferdberfle?? Now look what you did - Teddy has come to try and disrupt any real discussion.
And since Ted obviously missed it, I was being SARCASTIC - it IS a full quote, but if the Obots are going to INSIST, because their One cannot POSSIBLY be this narcissistic, that there was all kinds of other stuff around it, I did not care. SARCASM. Get it?
Oops. My bad.
You know I meant the sarcasm to Ted, right?? TO you, it was calling out those trolls! Sheesh!
These people are absolutely in a cult. Everything is about Obama. Nothing is about the Democratic Party, of which he is supposedly a member. Of course, die-hard Democrats would not go for someone like this. Our devotion is to Party principles, and Obama does not believe in them.
By the way, when I saw that he was referring to himself as belonging to “Obama for America,” I immediately flashed on Joe Lieberman’s election-stealing “Connecticut for Lieberman” Party. It’s that narcissistic.
Two long time (30 year) friends(?) are presently no longer able to be in touch with me because I am in such opposition to their Messiah. I made the mistake of speaking out my own thoughts, positions. Gotta be careful these days. I really feel like they’ve joined the gestapo.
Never again will I have anything to do with the Democratic Party.
That is really sad. I am sorry to hear that, AnnieCarmel. That is pretty telling, too…
Madamab - great points!
Well that is really sad AnnieCarmel….
That is exactly what this presidential run has done never unity as the messiah says so often just split up friends families and parties….
and that the color of our skin is different…
Obama is shameful to the bitter end…
Annie..I know how you feel.
How do you deprogram an entire CIRCLE of creative class friends?
I tried with one, and he kept interrupting me with memes. And then didn’t believe me when I corrected those. He kept trying to categorize facts as “your opinion.”
I basically avoid going out these days.
That is very sad. That is what happens with cults, they teach their members to shun outsiders.
I now have two people I can’t even mention that jerk to. They go off on me.
If you can find it, on a documentary I heard a clip of Jim Jones just before he passed around the kool-aid, and his language and tone were exactly like what Obama is peddling to people today. Consider the make-up of his congregation: disaffected white youth and poor African Americans. Deja vu!
I recently saw a doc on him as well and it reminded me of Obama too.
All the SF bay area media and politicans loved Jim Jones.
I’m not sure how much press he got nationwide before Jonestown, but in the bay area he could do no wrong. There were what seemed like weekly stories on him and his church. How he was helping the community, raising money, etc
If people watch that doc on the Weathermen. They also incorporated brainwashing/cult techniques.
They did all night talking sessions to break the hold mainstream society had on them, as well as using sex to do the same.
Manson did the same with all night sessions, drugs, and sex.
Perhaps SF is not part of the United States?
Yeah SF is defintely different.
Too bad the media didn’t bother telling all those hippies just how dangerous port cities can be.
Yes Jones had the respect of a few really mainstream politicians. And he gave long speeches to huge crowds; as he got crazier his speeches got longer. And he’d tell his followers the media wasn’t just attacking him, the media was attacking you too.
I hope the 527s will run an ad comparing Jones and Obama speaking…
Obama is truly the symbol of something new. He insured his beatification with his vote on FISA. It will be something as new for America as it was in Germany of the 1930’s. He is gathering the tools to stage a reinactment of “Brother Love’s Salvation Show” here in the land of the free, with Citizen Love watching your every move and listening to everything you say. Just like Santa. “Ya Better watch out”.
Of course it’s a cult.
It’s where KoolAide/FoolAide came from after all.
Jim Jones had a lot more on the ball than Oblowme, but he fooled Carter too.
Oblowme’s followers have just a few programmed questions and answers, which you’re all very familiar with by now.
Personal Injury attorneys/attorneys who represent insurance companies and AAs wanting reparations are the only folks who could readily be conned into thinking that they are voting for their interests.
But even then, they’d have to do no independent research.
Here is a quote from Jon Voight as stated in The Washington Times on July 28.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/28/voight/
From Obama’s course syllubus of topics, here’s some discussion questions on Reparations::
Notice he doesn’t question the merit of reparations. He only asks - can we get reparations enacted?
His course syllubus is very very revealing. He wrote this in the mid-nineties, when he was attending Jeremiah Wright’s sermons every Sunday.
I just started reading those today. Last time I was checking that article out, they did not have those links on the page.
I was scanning and saw that. There was also a memo where BO was two months late with test results to his students and blamed it on his secratary…
Same as it ever was.
Wow. The author acknowledges this is not an actual quate and that it is not accurate, but says “don’t correct me”. Some folks prefer to wallow in lies and myths. SO be it.
Liar. The author stated it was not a full quote.
How’s that glass house of yours, Goob?
chappaquiddick, is that you trolling around for
the unqualified Obama?
Wrong, Teddy Boy - I said nothing of the kind. I said OBAMA followers would keep trying to claim that it is not a full quote since you/they are not willing to let the scales fall from you eyes. Sad, really. But you have no problems attacking other people instead of taking a moment and considering that maybe, just maybe, he is not the one he claims to be. That would require some self-reflection…
Ted is no democrat…but he is a standout jackass.
It is the Washington Post quote which was paraphrased to THEM and provided by the author in a link.
The original quote also provided by the author in the SAME link says pretty much the same thing….like it or not.
You are complaining like she didn’t provide access to the other quote.
While ignoring the fact, stated in the same linked article, that ‘no one is denying’ it. They just provided more context.
Geez….if you are going to complain…open the link first and see if the whine works.
Don’t you think McCain is becoming unhinged today by saying Obama is playing the race card? A Republican attacking an African American man as a racist? Surely this should disqualify McCain.
He is playing the race card, idiot. He plays it by pretending to know what the opposition is thinking/saying and pretending they are saying things about the color of his skin. He’s the one who says he doesn’t look like everyone else. Duh. If he wanted colorblindness, he’d never bring it up.
McCain is a Repuke, is there any doubt he will resort to playing the race card? I think Obama is being smart by pre-empting the racism that will inevitably come his way from the McCain camp.
Obama was using the race card looooong before McCain became the Repugnican’s presumptive nominee.
Oops…..debunked again.
NEXT!
Obama has repeatedly played the racism, sexism, ageism cards….but you are concerned about McCain?
LOL
Why would a man who was harmed by racist push polling about his daughter in 2000 need to resort to such tactics?
Please explain…
Preempting the racism — you admit, he played on race first. Then you call McCain racist for defending himself and calling Obama out for a baseless charge. Pah.
