To me those reactions just serve to prove what Senator Obama was saying.<BR/><BR/>I was totally moved by the speech and I will never forget what I learned from it.<BR/><BR/>I just read that you are getting married in about eight days.

Larry Johnson's site used to be a bastion of defense against the right wing and their bs. Now its filled with people saying "Obama hates Democracy". It's like WTF? If you prefer Hillary, fine. But attacking the lead Democrat in what's going to be an extremely close race its just... well, its fucking unconscionable. I hope Larry takes that site over sometime in the near future and returns it to attacking the people who are responsible for outing Plame and screwing our intelligence community. I swear, I've been to freeper sites that didn't have as much racist drivel that was in the comments of that one post. Blows this redneck's mind.= And believe you me, I've seen some hardcore racist shit. I'm just sitting here wondering what the hell. Even Americablog's constant barrage of attacks on Hillary doesn't seem to touch the outrageousness of that post. <BR/><BR/>Let a little honesty in, the truth shall set you free, people.Fadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424781470408263435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36303061.post-1421396818169949662008-03-20T00:19:00.000-05:002008-03-20T00:19:00.000-05:00Wow the commenters at noquarter hit about every ra...Wow the commenters at noquarter hit about every racist point they could think of. I especially like the comment near the bottom where they went on about how 'blacks' get preferential treatment at colleges and corporations. It reminded me of a study recently that said there are more African American males in prison than there are in college. It seems the Clinton supporters have latched onto the concept of the 'white man's burden.'navyswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253138338126622201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36303061.post-64145809963467239592008-03-19T19:47:00.000-05:002008-03-19T19:47:00.000-05:00Let us all dare to hope.We'll need to be daring to...Let us all dare to hope.<BR/><BR/>We'll need to be daring to make it.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36303061.post-35457148581399682372008-03-19T19:14:00.000-05:002008-03-19T19:14:00.000-05:00Well, when you have expectations as low as mine, F...Well, when you have expectations as low as mine, Fred, Aspirin is fine, washed down with a six pack and two shots of Cheap whiskey.Fadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424781470408263435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36303061.post-56485014578699925912008-03-19T19:00:00.000-05:002008-03-19T19:00:00.000-05:00I have to second polishifter.

MSNBC in the mornings have been highly critical of it. It flips a bit with Mathews and Olbermann who both thought it was a landmark speech.<BR/><BR/>I have not read the reactions yet that you linked to but what I keep hearing is "yeah but Obama's pastor said 'God Damn America' and Obama didn't reject him".<BR/><BR/>That's all the right wing wants to talk about and the Clinton supporters just pile up.<BR/><BR/>They don't want to let it go.<BR/><BR/>Which is fine. They think they have hit a political gold mine.<BR/><BR/>For Obama, I hope he moves on. It looks like he is trying to based on his recent statements criticizing McCain. He should just move on and talk about McCain, Iraq, and his plan for moving America forward. If people want to keep talking about race he should just refer them to his speech.<BR/><BR/>But I am an Obama supporter so I am biased.<BR/><BR/>as far as which candidate will get us out of Iraq. NONE of the candidates will get us out of Iraq as fast as I want.<BR/><BR/>Kucinich was my first choice. He wanted the troops out in 60 days.<BR/><BR/>The rest of them are going to hem and haw for a couple years. I do think that between McCain, Clinton, and Obama that Obama will work the hardest toward getting us out of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>McCain will obviously stay the course. Hillary will do what is politically expedient for her and what benefits her contributors the most. If that means stretching out our time in Iraq another 4 years then so be it.PoliShifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524480334048786423noreply@blogger.com
