VIDEO: Truth About Obama Pastor's Hate Commments

Well, I hope Froggy sells this stuff by the ton, 'cuz my wife is trying to get her garden in, and I need more manure.

Obama tried to quickly and, in my opinion, sneakily condemn Wright's statements in his issue-dodging speech and moved the issue beyond Wright and into a discussion on racism.  I thought it was a huge political miscalculation.  Americans, especially the blue-collar white Democrats in Pennsylvania that are now flocking to Hillary, wanted to hear Obama say that Wright and his comments were to be condemned and that people like him have no place in his campaign.  Instead his message of "understanding" was interpreted as justifying Wright's comments by blaming white people.  Like it or not, that was the result of the speech.

*** Uh, he was in front of a gaggle of reporters, at a lectern, how freaking sneaky can it be?

And, unless you are incapable of reading polls, the blue collar, white Dems weren't Obama's base of support. That is Clinton's base. So they aren't flocking to Hillary, they aren't leaving Clinton like younger voters, middle age women, college educated voters, and blacks.

Also, Obama condemned the comments, but refused to reject the man. Toad, if every man you've met in your life who has said a stupid, racist, anti semitic or mysogynistic comment were to be cast out of America, I'm betting this place would get real empty, real fast.


Will "context" help Obama?

My answer no.  Obama already condemned Wrights comments and the only context he referred to was historical context regarding slavery, civil rights, etc.  Nowhere in Obama's speech did he identify the context of Wright's comments, such as that the "chickens coming home to roost" line coming from an editorial.  Moreover, Obama scolded the media for picking and choosing a few clips out of Wright's 30-year career; I don't recall any mention of what was said several minutes before the offensive comments.

*** Toad, here is reality check for you, mmm-okay. People who aren't voting for the uppity negro weren't voting for Obama, ever. But they also weren't voting for Hillary. They voted for Bush, Dole, Bush, Reagan, Ford and Nixon. After the Civil Rights movement, and the voting rights act, and Civil rights act, the South went from a solid Democratic stronghold, to a solid Republican stronghold. Those redneck voters will not vote for any Democratic candidate, ever. Don't you get that? It isn't like Bobby Ray is going to wake up, walk past his wall sized Stars and Bars, on his way to the can, go in shower, shave, and proudly rub his KKK tattoo, and head down to the local Cliton campaign headqurters to support the pro affirmative action woman candidate.

The math does not help Hillary; she needs 2/3rds of the remaining delegates. Along the way, she has derided and disparaged every state that holds caucuses, all red states w/ their stupid Dem voters, black voters, young voters, latte liberals, and liberals generally. The vast majority of Super Delegates probably fit in one of these catergories. You've got Nancy Pelosi, and most of the remaining Big Shot uncommited Super Delegates starting to call for the campaign to be over. Hillary has not had the delegate lead for one day of the race. She has a 48% negative rating nationally, and it is over 60% with independents, and 75% with Republicans. Who is going to cross over and vote for more of Bill and Hillary, among the voters who have spent $100's of dollars buying anti Clinton books, listened to 10's of 1000's of hours of Rush, and go to gun shows and buy shooting targets with Hillary's face printed on them?

I don't think you understand how deep and wide the anti Clinton propaghanda runs, and how effective it has been. When my Prescott, hippy friends get together, I'd say it runs 3 to 1 who hate Hillarys guts. And this is among liberal Democratic and Green party peeps.
