"What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?"

Maybe if Obama gave a speech about it? What if talked about race in America? If only he would do that, then we could actually talk about the future of this country.

Way to Go, Salon.

I'm hoping the rest of the country will see this as the non-issue it is but pushed by a MSM that thrives on pettiness, I won't hold my breath. Our priorities are so skewed in this country, we have the intellectual discernment of children. Hello? Iraq anyone? Global poverty? Do I hear a yeah for global warming? Look. politics is politics and it's a dirty game. I get it. Why is Obama being castigated for what his preacher said. Let's castigate McCain for relishing calling Vietnamese gooks or Hilary for sitting on a WalMart corporate board that gleefully exploited workers here and abroad. Oh my bad. I'm just another naive, unimportant American voter. Nothing ever changes, Nothing.

You stupid racist shitheads have spoiled a once wonderful site.

You spew bullshit,

You gotta be fascist republicans who have bought salon.com out.

Enjoy your spew.

The ones you serve will give you what you deserve.

"what should Obama do?" - nothing.

Salon: Go take a flying leap

I am going to miss Glen Greenwald.

Hi Salon

There's just nothing too thrilling about hearing from pundits what a candidate "should do" about a given situation. The candidate will do what he does, as will everyone else. This is not the right question to start a conversation.

A much more interesting question would have been: What can be left to Barack Obama of his marketable identity as a black Christian if he "denounces" (in whatever form) Reverend Wright?

I was initially an Obama supporter, but I support Clinton now, because I think that since the clips of Wright first surfaced and then again with the "bitter" comments of a few weeks ago, it's been clear that Obama has no real working concept of what personal faith is all about, the role that an encounter with God plays in most Americans' lives. He does not value it as an end in itself--he values faith as a tool for organizing communities. Which makes him, to my mind, somewhat of a hypocrite, and (more to the point) ill-equipped to deal with the reality of global religious politics as the next President.

I'm about to throw Salon under the bus. This B*llsh*t about Rev. Wright has gone on long enough. If you are all so sensitive about him saying "Goddam America" on one occasion, I'm afraid I'm going to have to say goodbye to your puerile, lilywhite righteousness once and for all. I've got bigger fish to fry than to attend further to your pseudo-intellectual rants about Jeremiah's jeremiads against America's longstanding record of selfrighteous terrorist violence which started with the genocide against Native Americans and the kidnapping of Africans and continues to this moment with the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis. If the apparant consensus of this panel is what represents opinion in America's moderate to leftish circles, God help us all -- I for one will have no part of it, and will pay it no further mind. Truly, the chickens are coming home to roost and will continue to drop tons of truly righteous sh*t on all your exposed heads. My advice to you is to head for that deepest of bomb shelters and join your buddy Dr. Strangelove in your cowering against the inevitable justice you so richly deserve.

What should Barack Obama do about the man to whom he gave $12,000 last year?

The man who married him, baptized his children, and has been his spiritual mentor for 20 years?

Well there's not much he can do now without insulting our intelligence, is there?

Correction.

Stop pretending that you care about Obama's best interests (or the Democratic party, or America for that matter). It is called concern trolling. You bring up Wright more than Fox News.

Get used to the fact that Obama is the nominee (unless Hillary gets 80% in all subsequent primaries). Start fighting McCain, the battles of March 2008 are over. Either become part of the solution or vote for McCain.

Obama should bluntly tell the truth about what is happening: it is a right wing smear, vicious, racist, and stupid.

Barack is an appealing candidate who threatens to win by convincing moderate Republicans and independents to vote for him. Barack is a thoughtful, mild-mannered person who does not use or inspire fear.

So the right wing, unable to smear him directly, is smearing him by association. The other smear, the 60's radical Obama knows, seems not to have the legs of the Wright smear.

It is nothing but old-fashioned red-baiting guilt by association. It is an old trick and Obama should bluntly call it out, identify clearly what is going on, and warn us that if we fall for this move from an old playbook we are going to wind up stuck with yet another idiot right winger in the White House.

This is about McCarthyism at its worst.

Oh, thanks Salon for saying "How high?" when Karl Rove asks you to jump.

It's unanimous. Barack Obama's fan club thinks BO should lay on his back, cry, and kick his feet while blaming Salon.com for the ill fortune of being exposed for what he is (a con and a marketing project).

This is getting ridiculous. At some point, I hope that Salon.com's editors and staff will get a clue. You've become but a shadow of your former selves.

The problem is not Obama's. It's yours for not having perspective, for following the horse race whims of the MSM, and for having nothing original to add to a story that has been hashed and rehashed.

Obama is doing exactly what he and you and Hillary and the MSM should be doing-- speaking to the American people about things that MATTER to their day-to-day lives.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that we are about to have YET ANOTHER election decided on BULLSHIT. I can't believe that Salon.com will be party to it!
