  • Sinnard,

    [Read the article: The difference between Jeremiah Wright and radical, white evangelical ministers]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Are you still taking a big brain dead dump on these boards perchance to get people to admire the craft of your crap? Hope it's workin' out for you.

  • Andrgyne,

    [Read the article: Obama's speech on race]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You're having the all the lonely impact of an impotent insect. Buzz on baby!

    You rule the internet!

  • Andragyne simple minded?

    [Read the article: Obama's speech on race]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What can one say about an insect intellect? Just keep buzzing about?

  • Hey red,

    [Read the article: Obama's speech on race]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    "It'll take time?" You can take all the time you want twiddling your fingers....I'm going on to bigger and better, I'm going to Obama.

    As far as time goes, there's no time like the present.

  • I'm glad you're glad Hillary

    [Read the article: Clinton "very glad" Obama gave speech]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    And I'll be even gladder when your campaign is a bitterly distant memory.

  • Chris you dirty old git.

    Sinnard's just a retard just takin' a shit..

  • Sinnard,

    What are you? A six year old political scientist? Such seasoned perspectives! Really man, you're really making a case for the rabid reality that you really are raving mad. Don't bust a blood vessel bud!

  • The candor was called for...

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    And I appreciate Mr. Obama.

  • I appreciate Mr. Obama...

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]

    ...and I will vote for Mr. Obama.

  • America

    The infant terrible has a long lot to learn.

  • jebldmm,

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    you have all of the cognitive powers of a cockroach, and just about as much charm.

  • Hey guys, Bush said in a speech today that Iraq was "worth it."

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Do you think Hillary Clinton will back him up on that?

  • Hey Joan,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Was the speech too "black"

    Was the speech too strong?

    Perhaps you and reverend Wright together

    Don't know your rights from wrong

    Thanks so much for seeing things

    So neatly perceived in black and white

    But we are no longer your children

    Who live in endless night

  • Bush has just stood in front of a rostrum today and declared that invading Iraq was worth it.

    [Read the article: Obama's faith in the reasoning abilities of the American public]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I wonder if Clinton will go on record as saying the same.

  • Kate,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I've been bamboozled by Obama. And lord, I like it!

  • Having faith in the American public...

    [Read the article: Obama's faith in the reasoning abilities of the American public]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    ..is like having faith that a cretinous child will grow up to be an accountant.

  • Sure Obama's grandmother was a product of her own time

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]

    So is Joan, who evidently hasn't caught up very much.

  • Joan,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Thanks for the stuck up and stodgey analysis of Obama's speech, and thanks especially for that special out of touch touch that you brought to what we can now only call Grandmagate.

  • Janalu,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Obama is about as "extreme" as I can't believe it's not butter!

  • Shelly

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What Wright said about Hillary is What Wright said about Hillary. Not what obama said. Know the difference or sulk and pout in petty self indulgence. What's Obama supposed to do? Spend every second of a church service monitoring Wrights remarks?

  • Krrrazy Kate!

    Still hung up on hoodwinks huh? Guess what! You've been bamboozled!

    This lax Catholic can unequivocaly attest to the fact I have strongly disagreed with many of the positions of the holy see in Rome! Wow! And how!

  • Yep,

    We're brinin' home the bacon in a bodybag.

  • Baltimore,

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I think "obfuscate" is a new word Kate just learned, along with "hoodwink" and "bamboozle." She's not the brightest buld in the box or the swiftest thrush in the field.

  • I don't think Bill Clinton is a racist

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In his current incarnation he's just a clown.

  • Thanks Kate,

    That was real "Superfly."

  • I wonder if Katex has ever encountered a black person before

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She seems to think black people are all disembling and sygnifying off to one another.

  • walker,

    Give 'em hell hutman!

  • Hillary Clinton is off to Michigan today to ask for a new primary

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I smell the scent of desperation in the air. A Michigan voting official spoke on NPR this morning and said that there is about as much of a snowball's chance in hell of there being a new primary in Michigan.

  • Joan, well told, you're great

    Now's the time to bring up the glaring injustice,

    of Grannygate.

  • Let 'er have it hutman!

    I hear ya!

  • I think Joan is taking something here personally

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Rather than objectively. The grandmother thing mystifies me.

  • Achilles heel?

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Keep reaching walker. Clinton is still looking like a crippled horse.

  • We're finally going to have the oppurtunity to read Hillary's first lady papers.

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It was announced today that records kept of Clinton's first lady doings will be available to public scrutny from the Pres. Bill Clinton presidential Library. Why so late? Could it be foot dragging or just fate?

  • I really find it odd,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How quite a few people paint Obama as a liar because they insist he should have shown everything about his religion etc. I don't know about most people, but where I come from religion and worship are a pretty private thing. But hey, go ahead, crucify the guy.

  • Amity,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Between you and walker maybe Obama should be reaching out to redknecks instead.

  • We are not "besotted!"

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    But I am begining to believe you're bewitched!

  • Ya know...

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    A lot of us white or black have family and relations who are racists, but does their racism define us as individuals? No. If we're thinking, feeling, people, we all know that humanity sinks or swims together. I sure hope there are people in America who can look at color beyond stark black and white terms. One thing I've always resented when filling out a govt. form, is having to check off "white" as my race when I'm actually more olive complected. Sometimes I like to screw around and check off "Eskimo" because that's all my ethnicity really means to me.

  • furtail,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I very much agree, Wright is a product of his turbulent times. But Texas Democrat, you're probably a product of Little House on the Praire.

  • furtail,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Wright is retired from his pulpit. He's 100% out of the sermonizing business.

  • TX. Democrat

    What's next?

  • A "speecth?"

    What exactly is THAT?

  • I agree,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It was a good speecth.

  • I'd go beyond that...

    ..to include dyded in the wool redneck Clinton fans.

  • And what's your character?

    Besides calamity?

  • Here's an idea

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Obama should call up his Chicago compadre Al Capone, ask Big Al to do a hit on Wright, and then dump the pastor's dead body in the great lakes.

  • Yeah,

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    But you see in simplified terms Bush is white, and Wright is always wrong.

  • One thing about the speech is sure

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    During and after Obama's oratory, plenty of people were weeping from his words, and they weren't Clinton crocodile tears either. People were moved, because unlike Clinton, they didn't regard what they were hearing as "just more words."

  • Notorious,

    What does W.E.S. stand for? White establishment shithead?
