Presidential Politics - More Bullshit

Mar 15, 2008 22:34

The Moderate Voice has a post called Much Ado About Jeremiah Wright, about Obama's pastor who recently made some inflammatory remarks. The right-wing nutosphere is getting all frothy about it, as per the usual, but it's all playing out on the same double standard they always use. For starters, not one of them said shit when John McCain got John ( Read more... )

I'm afraid you make too much light of this situation. He "vehemently disagrees" with Rev. Wright. Ok. Hear ya. However, what no one seems to be asking or addressing is the simple fucking matter that he's had a TWENTY-YEAR relationship with this "nutjob."
Actually, I think you and perhaps many others are making too much light of this situation, but I do understand why you find it so illuminating. This has been the topic of conversation by all of the Fox News bobbleheads since it began, and what you';re saying isn't that far off from what Chris Wallace was saying just this morning on FNS. So he's had a 20 year relationship with Wright - I've had a 37 year relationship with all sorts of avowed and even closet racists within my own family, and I can read between the lines and think for myself on such matters.

Do mean to tell me that you actually believe the comments we've seen as of this weekend were isolated incidents? No. Don't fool yourself. You don't have that level of hate in your heart for "whiter america" for just one or two ( ... )

Do you actually mean to draw a parallel between your family - none of whom are trying to influence the masses through a 6,000 member church and active internet presence? And are you actually comparing yourself to someone running for the presidency? Your analogy is pretty much off target in my book.
I am actually drawing a parallel between how much I'm influenced by people whose opinions I may agree with on some matters and not at all on others, which is exactly what I said without leaving room for the error you've throwing into the mix. There wasn't even a mere suggestion that I'm comparing myself to a presidential candidate, only to that of another person capable of thinking for themselves without buying 100% of another person's influence.

I know your brilliance is rarely challenged... but I'd challenge this analogy any day of the week.I'd be flattered if you thought I was brilliant as that would be a kind compliment, but the level of snark and sarcasm you're giving is indicative of something else. Not working, by the way - my ( ... )

And one more thing--if Howard Dean doesn't have the balls to yank those two campaigns into a closed meeting to knock their heads together, then he's missing a third of the equation to his otherwise fantasic efforts to rebuild the Democratic Party from the ground up.

Enough of the circular firing squad...someone has to concede NOW for the good of the party and good of the nation.

Motherfucker, I'd hump you so hard right now that you'd have a compound fracture when I was done.
