Perhaps Walsh missed something through the lens of her own religious biases?

And as a one time Catholic, I can appreciate that those biases can sometimes be deeply entrenched.

I'm not a Salon subscriber, and never will be one.

Your question was so carefully convoluted, that I'm not even sure that there actually was a question, much less a point to your post.

Smartly Hillarious Parody!

Hope it doesn't make the American public bitter!

It's pretty apparent that the only black people with which you maybe mildly aquainted, are either on the Cosby Show, or the the Six 'O Clock news.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 04:16 PM

And the righteous did rail against Wright!

Nobody's paying much mind to your petty power trips.

Oh another thing Smith

Please don't be obtuse, because the only insult is to yourself.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 04:54 PM

No shit sesanders

MCcain's already using Wright to paint Obama into a corner. Any more obvious observations? You're so astute it's almost cute.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 05:07 PM

Back of Beyond

You just said a bundle. "it's more than white bread." And if Americans are still missing this fact that we don't live in such a world, then the real world to most average Americans really IS the TV "reality" of the Cosby Show and the crime report on the Six 'O Clock News.

The only things that upset me are warrantless witch hunts. When you can proove that Obama is an apprentice of the black arts under Wright's tutorship, or a sinister Saracen hell bent on evening out some ancient score, or a "colored" commie, or any other imagining you or anybody else would like to contrive, then you get back to me with that evidence, and I'll give it a good long look.

lots 'o luck and don't forget to duck...

A Question to Walsh and the Witch Hunters:

Which one is the real witch? Obama or Wright?

Sunday, April 27, 2008 08:48 PM

If it's a witch it should float...

right? Or should it sink instead?

Sunday, April 27, 2008 09:10 PM

If black people were right brained

They'd vote for MCcain or Clinton, so clearly the conclusion is incorrect.

But let's get back to the witch hunt...

I agree. People around here are smart, but cythera45 sure doesn't shine as an example of Salon'a brightest star.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 09:27 PM

I rest my case

Witness the disgrace.

That was a lively and vivid impression of the campaign trail

Indiana sounds like a lot more interesting place than lots of places in the Midwest are often portrayed. Thanks. That was an interesting piece.

Thanks for posting that link, it might provoke some real discourse, it might even cause some to pause, and just think.

The business of witchhunters is casting aspirtions and fear, these are the high ideals, with which they make their appeal.

Walsh is begining to embark on a brain theory of her own about Obama and Clinton supporters, what's your take?

Monday, April 28, 2008 03:06 PM

Carol

Does my Obama support say that I'm a peanut headed, pan-African, dashiki wearin', Muslim prayerin' Kool Aid drinkin', latte drinkin', wanna be Abraham Lincoln?

Girl, help me out!

All 'o these scarey old witch hunters are fillin' me with doubt!

With some luck perhaps you'll be looking forward to a big brown log of elephant loaf. Lots 'o luck. Here's hoping that all of your dearest Dumbo dreams come true.

Thanks for the diagnosis. I will be workin' on the stinkin' thinkin'...whew...you really saved my sorry ass! Thanks!

Monday, April 28, 2008 03:33 PM

Carol, a question..

Are you saying I should form a completely Clintoncentric view of the universe and this should serve to desolve away all of my dellusions?

Is there a pill I can just pop to rid me of the bi-polarity of my Obamamania?

Help..please!

Monday, April 28, 2008 03:44 PM

I have an imagination...but what you ask is the impossible.

Get ready for a new updated daily feature at Salon - The Pastor Disaster

Get ready for endless, achingly empty, stupid days, of pissant punditry, over "will the pastor, or will the pastor not, put down Obama's bid for the presidency?"

Obama stands up to Wright

And it's good that he has, because he's his own man.

You make some interesting points about how cultures can contrast in social and stylistic ways. I agree, we're not all of us cut out from the same stale old moldy white bread.

Monday, April 28, 2008 08:59 PM

Gary, thanks for the fresh air.

Fresh voices, fresh approaches, and perhaps some fresh cooperation, would be much appeciated for all who would like to see some honest undertakings for peace, clearing the stale air of the blind notion, that Israel is above any and all criticism.

Monday, April 28, 2008 09:35 PM

All of you guys are understandably angry

But every outrage you voice is like music to the ears of the media money machine. The more you care about this crap, the more they cash in, and when accounts are finally settled, the chickenshits will win.

Take it from Manos, cos nobody knows like Manos.

Ain't nobody handing shit to nobody...get that much clear. Give it your best shot with a strong dose of suspicion and fear. It's clear that Clinton sees there's a down and dirty route to a win, but the rest of the country sees she's all oppurtunism and cheap spin.

And what would that hand writing on the wall be? Haven't you heard the wise words of the Chineese philosopher Lee Qui Quat? He who writes on bathroom walls eats the shit in bathroom stalls.

That's the O'Brian test from 1984. In 1984 it was fingers instead of lights, and I don't care how many fingers O'Brian insists that I see, my final decision is gonna be made by me, and my decision my friend in the midst of this dull and drab drama, is to continue my support, and to vote for Barack Obama.
