FOX Lies!! Irresponsible Media! Barack Obama Pastor Wright

  • This is a time for self examination

    I have been watching the firestorm over Rev Wright with interest. I just can not get my head around the fact that we as a nation are so far apart on these issues. When I hear what was said, my reaction is, “Yeah, so what? Everything he is saying is accurate. The ‘AIDS was created’ thing is an understandable stretch but I believe it even if it has not been proven.”

    • Republicans are getting tripped up

    Ulan writes:

    Consensus on Counting the Innocent: We Can’t
    As if to make my point.

    “What the debate demonstrates is that we know almost nothing about the number of innocent people in prison.”

    If Republicans are serious about law and order, should they not be at the forefront of making sure the laws are followed and applied equally? Fiz says Obama is “race-baiting” but fails to note that a disproportionate number of folks in prison are people of color. Republicans seem to be OK with that.

    What’s Wrong With Our Popular States?

    Published on March 13, 2008

    “…people living in more diverse areas evince less trust for others — no matter what their race. Maybe it shouldn’t surprise us that while white Democrats in rural states are apparently willing to accept the notion of a racially transcendent candidate, those living in the shadow of postindustrial atrophy seem to have a harder time detaching from enduring stereotypes, and they may be less optimistic that the country as a whole would actually elect a black candidate.”

    Excellent article! Wow!

    I would add that Clinton’s message of fear and code words for the scary “other” taking control resonates with those whose lives have been shaped by fear. When you are rural, even if you are poor and uneducated, you are

    Catalina Claro - It Doesn’t Feel Good

    It doesn’t feel good
    It doesn’t hurt
    I can’t explain it
    Without words

    You’re like a sunrise
    You’re like a sun
    You’re like the young bird
    That hasn’t sung

    I can’t look at you
    You’re so beautiful
    I can’t look at you
    You’re so beautiful…

    Could you imagine him accepting the nomination and standing there and bringing up his family members, Kenyans and white Americans, and saying I am America, this is America? It really seems like a perfect storm here.

    Yes… Yes, I can! =)
