I saw this online:

I heard Gingrich this morning saying that Obama was unqualified because he had never confronted his pastor and denounced him. This is neocon baloney, of course, based on the idea that our first duty, in church or out, is to worship the US state. I've heard celebrants endorse the welfare state, Bush's wars, etc. Was I really supposed to straighten them out? Or is it our place in church to worship the Lord, and concentrate on our own faults rather than others'?

Spot on; why is only Obama suppose to interrupt a sermon and take on the preacher?

"You didn't 'chop' the other day at another Salon article when the mentioned topic mentioned was the baseball player/coach H. Wagner. He stole base, ran fast, and hit with a ash bat. He was in the Hall of Fame.

Wagner was called a Flying Dutchmen. He ate German Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake.

You are a flying devil's food cake?

Or you are a angel food pieceofcake?"

What is it about Glenn's blog that so attracts the ranks of America's pseudo-poets? There's at least three of them here who insist on inflicting their turgid, incoherent 'literary' excretions upon us. I guess pseudo-writers attract pseudo-poets.

In anycase, this person needs to be told their work is pablum: a waste of words and the valuable time of anyone foolish enough to read it.

You wrote: "Spot on; why is only Obama suppose to interrupt a sermon and take on the preacher?-- bucky1"

Bucky1, I imagine that since Obama neither interrupted the sermon nor challenged it and hasn't left the church because of the political slant of the preacher, the Rev Wright, he was down wid it, he gave it the official "okie dokie" and agreed whole-heartedly with the conclusions of the good Rev.

If, however, he only dissed the good Rev's words AFTER the videos surfaced and gave him some heat, then that would be a political tack and not an ethical one, now wouldn't it?

And, THAT is why I find Obama so odious, so replete with hubris and so lacking in personal conviction: he is, in the final analysis, just another political animal, who preaches one thing and does another.

Busted!

Easter Day....

families gather to mull-over,

a list is made of banned Easter guest:

priest, jailers, lawyers, intellectuals, flops. The be-nice rule? No. Yes.

winebibbers, coke-sniffer, and sugar addicts are banned next Easter?

Mountain Dew sugar addicts, and argumentative sauerkraut cake lovers are listed....

(BTW Thanks KateTex...we don't agree often but too an anxious for an HONEST discussion without anyone on either side being made to feel guilty).

As repulsive to me as instpundits article was i think in order to fix this problem we have to allow people to express how they actually feel without running to these 'old standards'

SAD TRUTH:

If intelligent eductaed people can't talk effectively about this, i'm sorry to say, i don't have much hope for a larger conversation by the population at large.

I wish we were ready but i don't think we're there yet. This is like trying to self-counsel and marriage that bas been bad for 300 years. Not only do you need some help to do it right but its going to be hard and painful - easier to quit and pretend.

I'm sure were just not ready yet. :(

In today's nepotism special, Bill Kristol's concern trolling pretty much says what Glenn does:

Digby, in a long post which is well worth the time to read, examines why these divisive racial and culture tactics from the Right are inevitable, and how ignoring them -- as some seem to want to do -- achieves nothing other than ensuring that they fester with no response.

(that's Glenn)

With respect to having a national conversation on race my recommendation is: Let's not, and say we did.

(That's neptotism^3)

I suspect he wasn't so happy seeing a story in yesterday's Week In Review that recounted the history of the Southern Strategy. It didn't quote Atwater, which I'll be reminding the Public Editor of, but it was a starting point for demonstrating the centrality of racism and voter suppression in the Republican campaign strategy.

Same-same.

Often I'll cringe to hear the self righteous "peace" maniac,

asserting their own hatred, and judgmental pugnacious air ~

Don't stink. The fake fraud peace advocates by any name ~

A Volvo, a Ford, a Old's, a clunk-tin, a yellow jalopy truck?

just do

NOT

read it!

wowee.

Repairs?

You Help Ruin.

Brilliant. Literally and figuratively attacking the linkage of the echo machine. Note the defensive crouch of the scum-mongers. Keep it up.

Better get used to the idea, he will be your next president.

I work with a lot of good Roman Catholics who disagree with this dioceses' Bishop as well as the Pope of the church. I never hear of them making a public display of their differences; in church or out. If asked a direct question, they will say that they disagree with the church on that issue.

I though we determined with Kennedy that the ideas of the church were not the same as the candidate and that the candidate need not agree with the Church on all issues. Did that go by the boards when Obama had the audacity to hope a black man could be president?

thank you and keep it up!

I agree. GG should buy every Hater a copy of his new book.

If readers disagree with the inner contents of the book on hypocrites,

Use the outer cover as any newspaper of the Main Pundit Press Stream.

The image statue of GWB at the bottom of a birdcage can be put to usefulness?

A image drawing like that statue ~ can be catching some parakeet aviary droppings?
