No, we weren't. Onde-loon's post was addressed to me,

And I was referring to Glenn's original post. Do try to keep you mind on the subject under discussion; neither you nor I are the center of universe here or anywhere.

I know it's convenient for you frothing lefties to smear vaseline on the lens and try to blur everything in to one big moral equivalance, but like it or not the spotlight is on Obama at the moment, and it has nothing to do with prurience or puritanism but a real concern as to whether Obama has some kind of sympathy with the man's views.

The same should be argued for McCain's embracing of Hagee and Parsley, which was the original issue in the first place.

(Wright's statements misportrayed)Misportray? Rubbish. The comments speak for themselves. They don't need media adornment. Obama's number came up, simple as; he's had months of media bootlicking. Your attempt to imply media racism is behind this is a typical baseless smear from a lefty desperado.

Words taken in isolation, without full context, isn't a case of 'racism' but of poor reporting and the willingness by those such as yourself to find exception and controversy where there realy isn't any. Your attempt that I imply 'media racism' is a typical baseless attack from a...well, I'm too polite to state what you are.

And, like it or not, presidential candidates are,in part, judged by the company the keep. Generally I've been quite impressed by Senator Obama's choice of company, but Tony Rezko and Pastor Wright give one cause for doubt.

Again, the same holds true for McCain. And given he actively sought the endorsement of Hagee and keeps close company with Parsley, neither of whom could be described as 'mainstream' or even 'sane', doesn't that give one equal cause for doubt?

"I'm not a woman"

You sound like one.

Be grateful I'm not, otherwise your manhood (if you have one) would be in considerable danger right now.

Rock commented, shortly after 9/11, on his observation of the Muslims round up and he could understand some rational for it. Next he observed the hate speech for illegal immigrants from latin America and started to get concerned. The round ups and racist speech kept expanding and Chris said "next it will be the niggers and the Jews and that train is never late". That train has arrived. Trying to keep above the fray of the Republican attack machine resulted in Gore and Kerry with Bush being selected president.

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.

Sturgeon's law: Ninety percent of everything is crap.

This includes your output as well..

And mine, for that matter.

I thought 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?

Well worth repeating and remembering as the campaigns become more viscous.

"The same should be argued for McCain's embracing of Hagee and Parsley, which was the original issue in the first place."

Hey, like I said, it's Obama's turn at the moment. He's had his free run - months of it. Live with it.

"Words taken in isolation, without full context, isn't a case of 'racism' but of poor reporting and the willingness by those such as yourself to find exception and controversy where there realy isn't any."

Haha. You can attempt to parse it all you like my friend. No amount of context will make that scumbag's statements palatable to the vast majority of the electorate.

"90 percent of everything is crap."

Except poetry, where 98.5% of all poets are crap - none of the 1.5 percent of decent poets make it on to this site. Why would they?

I go away for a couple of hours to do some work, and the place goes straight to hell! Everything, from the logic to the rhetoric right down to the spelling and syntax went straight into the crapper! Are you people even sentient enough to be ashamed for yourselves? You argued with your parents with these mouths? For shame, for shame.

Well, it's my fault really. I never should have left, or I should have left my wife to serve in my place. Oh well.

I promise, I will never, never leave you guys again. It hurts me to see you get yourselves into this kind of place. There's no need for it, and I won't let it happen again.

Oh, don't thank me. That's the way I am. Magnanimous! Like my hero Barackathy O'bama. The man who will be our first Irish President!

Sing it with me now folks:

B, A, RACK, O'Bama spells Obamila!

Remember- make your mark by the four-leaf clover, the mark of O'Bama!

We are in accord, sir. But (and I will hazzard to speak for GG on this) I believe it would be prefered if YOU bought the copies of books for said malitos.

you mean some black people are still resentful that their lives were squelched so that they could never realize their full potential, even though things are quite a bit better now, mostly? why, the ungrateful bastards.

"The same should be argued for McCain's embracing of Hagee and Parsley, which was the original issue in the first place."

Fortunately the rest of us can give our attention to more than one thing at a time. Try it, you might even learn something.

That would be the same "vast majority" who want out of Iraq right now, or the "vast majority" who believe the Rapture is about to happen?

Its this kind of shallow thinking that gave us two terms of George Walker Bush and personally I'm sick of it. You want to consider a fundamentally decent man like Jeremiah Wright a "scumbag" based on a half-dozen lines, fine. One could draw all sorts of unflattering inferences from your own comments here, as well as build a decent case you're the next Osama bin Laden out of them.

Live by the sword, die by it.
