..thinks it's cool to turn a Muslim country into a Mushroom Cloud.

Clintons and their supporters like Joan Walsh, are trying to paint Obama as unelectable because of Wright. Hillary claims she is vetted and her baggage has been gone through and aired already. However the right wants Hillary to be the candidate and they are waiting until the General election. Then then they will open the piece of baggage on the Clinton Foundation and the shady foundation donors.

Wright isn't running even if a lot of liberals do believe what he says is true. So, put your eyeballs back into your head and get off your soapbox, already.

Are you a Joan Walsh prodigy?

The inclusion of Hiroshima in the condemnation of America should embarrass anyone. Not only does it leave out Japan's sneak attack on America to start the war, the mass slaughter by the Japanese of the Chinese as well as British and American troops it also ignores what would have been involved in invading Japan. The cavalier attitudes to the death of Americans by the Left rivals that on the Right.

There really does need to be better sense of history. Slavery was a terrible institution. However, it was not just an American one. The last two places to end slavery in the Americas were Brazil and Cuba. Slavery had existed for millenia prior to American slavery and virtually everywhere in globe.

Europeans aquired slaves in Africa from other Africans. Africans not only were slave owners but there were Blacks in America who owned slaves. Finally, virutally all the slave revolts failed both because other slaves informed on them, those leading many of the revolts were not intending to free all the slaves only those from their slaves and planned to subjugate other Africans.

This does not make slavery a good or decent institution. It does mean that the story is a lot more complicated than those who would "damn America" based on a mistaken reading of history that makes America a particularly evil nation.

Perhaps someone who opposes Sen. Obama is funding and/or inciting Rev. Wright. Recall that Republican hitman Roger Stone coached and helped fund Al Sharpton's 2004 presidential campaign. Republicans arguably prefer Sen. Clinton as the Democratic candidate. But hey, maybe I'm just paranoid.

I hate to slow this momentum of propaganda you are spewing, but Africa is a continent.

Let me put it this way, with friends like you, Clinton doesn't need enemies.

Quote from Wright's NAACP speech, from the Detriot Free Press:

"The NAACP has an incomparable record. It has the longest list of achievements in the history of this country as being the undisputed champion in the fight against discrimination... Throughout its 99-year history, the NAACP has been built by people of all races, all nationalities and all faiths on one primary premise, which is that all men and women are created equal. The nation's oldest civil rights organization has changed America's history."

But I'm sure he said something which can be excerpted and framed as OMG AMERICAHATER! And we'll hear alll about it, over and over.

Joan,

The question is: why wouldn't a Black man of Jeremiah

Wright's generation feel the way that he does about America?

You express shock at his attitude and words, and remind us

of your leftism, but, frankly, your reaction demonstrates a

lack of exposure to the true thoughts of many Black people. As Obama

pointed out in his speech, Reverend Wright's thoughts are expressed

all of the time in Black barbershops and beauty salons, in other churches,

in conversations amongst friends. I have heard America "damned" so many times

that I am not sure that I would be able to count the occasions. Many of my people

do not share your general optimism that we are stumbling, slowly but inexorably, towards

a "more pefect Union." Why do you think that so many of us celebrated when OJ Simpson was

found innocent? I will be honest: even though I believe in my heart that he murdered Nicole, I

joined that celebration, because I was fed up with the sanctimonious attitudes of many of the White people

around me that didnt bat an eye when Rodney King was beaten by policemen, when Black men and women are murdered

senselessly on a daily basis. I felt this way, and I'm no radical. To borrow from Chris Rock: I don't necessarily

agree with the totality of Reverend Wright's worldview, but I understand.

I will also put it out there: to many people, if Barack Obama has the nomination "stolen" from him by superdelegates because

they become convinced that the Wright issue makes him unelectable, the Jeremiah Wrights of this world will be proven entirely

right. What sound does a Democratic Party with no African-American support make?

Sorry but... is Jeremiah Wright running for President? All this focus on him seems insane to me. It's as if you had an articulate, diploomatic, genuinely smart figure running for President and all you could think to attack him with was who his preacher was... what on earth does it matter??
