The Chicago Sun Times published a very interesting piece on Reverend James T. Meeks, quoted by gaywired.com. A megachurch pastor nonetheless, Obama's other spiritual guide.

This exquisite character has dropped pearls like these in the past:

"We don't have slave masters. We got mayors. But they still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able, or to be educated."

"You got some preachers that are house niggers. You got some elected officials that are house niggers. And rather than them trying to break this up, they gonna fight you to protect this white man,"

Maybe some of you may agree with some of the pearls of wisdom above. Gaywired however, reports the following.

"A spring 2007 newsletter from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) named Meeks one of the "10 leading black religious voices in the anti-gay movement". The newsletter cites him as both “a key member of Chicago's ‘Gatekeepers’ network, an interracial group of evangelical ministers who strive to erase the division between church and state” and “a stalwart anti-gay activist… [who]… has used his House of Hope mega-church to launch petition drives for the Illinois Family Institute (IFI), a major state-level ‘family values’ pressure group that lauded him last year for leading African Americans in ‘clearly understanding the threat of gay marriage.'”

Tis character has accompanied Obama during his entire career, has campaigned for him and has used his mega church to campaign for Obama, very much in the same fashion as Jeremiah Wright. Meek, as Obama, has been the willing receptor of Tony Rezko's contribution.

I wonder what major discourse will be teleprompted to Obama, to justify his ties with this bigot. Let the excuses begin.

Lets see . . . .

The obamaniacs have taken every single song in the republican song book when it comes to smear "the Clintons", See how David L. judges the abilities of HRC in economics by the finances of her campaign (as per an article by Obama central . . . I mean, politico.com) and not for how "the Clintons" ran a tight ship with a balanced budget for 8 years. But when it comes to smear Bill, Hillary always gets bundled. What else is new?

bernbart news-flash: HRC already won OH by double digits. If you meant PA, you can count on it. This is why Obama wants to avoid by having his henchmen to pressure her to drop out of the race.

JasonF I am not threatening anyone I am just saying what I will do if Obama gets the nomination. Or do you think he owes my vote or something. Last time I checked I was able to vote for whoever I wanted. The arrogance . . .

bernbart another news-flash: The one that violated his own pledge not to campaign in Florida and Michigan was Obama with his "coincidental" national media purchase. The funny thing is that the purchase ended the day of the Florida election. There was however, no rule to make anyone pull their names out of the ballots in MI, for your information. And Hillary won well over 50% of record turn outs in BOTH states, without campaigning.

Flatblonde that was some diatribe out of a single phrase. I appreciate the fact that you got exactly what I was trying to say. To bad that to counterpunch you came with that ridiculous "capture of the imagination" thing. I understand that though, since besides that talking point there is little else that Obama can offer or has to say.

Good job guys, keep on trying.

And again Obama, thanks for stating the obvious. How about some consistency with the rest of your campaign.

So is MI??? How can you be so sure after Obama and his campaign did everything in their power to derail a re-do in that state? how about Florida where Hillary guarantees a win and Obama guarantees a defeat?

But most of all, how can you be so oblivious of the fact that 25% of HRC supporters will vote for John McCain if Hillary is not nominated? I remember when not long ago Obama launched his not so veiled threat saying the he wasn't sure that his supporters would not support HRC is the GE. So much for that argument.

Obama is going to ruin the democratic party on the strength of his untimely ambition and the weakness of his lack of experience. It is not only Hillary's will and that of her vast following, but also her duty to fight him until the end and come out victorious. The Democratic party can not afford a candidate Obama, and even more important, the country can't afford this arrogant neophyte as its president. So yes, if Obama is selected the nominee, this registered democrat in Florida is voting for John McCain as many other will.

Obama plays good cop while his surrogates and henchmen go on with their ridiculous predicament for Hillary's withdrawal from the race. He is just a politician, nothing less, but nothing more. His sincerity is up there with the validity of a $3.25 bill.

If she can't win enough delegates to secure the nomination, neither can he. If he won a few more delegates, she has won every single state that counts for the GE and those of us who believe that Hillary is the best candidate, also believe that she is more electable. And there is a whole bunch of people that still has to vote.

So thank you professor Obama for stating the obvious, perhaps you would be more believable if you would just take it like a man and tell your lynching mob to shut up.
