Obama supporters: Let's face it. Reverend Wright has stolen the show
That is the real reason why Obama is so "upset", "disappointed", "saddened" and "shocked" over Reverend Wright.

Obama isn't shocked by Reverend Wright's comments. He's shocked because Reverend Wright has taken away his thunder and replaced it with his own.

Maybe next time Barack will think twice before he invites another disaster upon himself like he did when he started dissing his old chum Reverend Wright.

I'd say he dissed the wrong man. Wouldn't you? :shrug:

11. If he is Obama's friend he will understand and not respond.
If Wright responds in a negative way this could hurt Wright.. Wright has a 30 year ego to protect. If he wants to keep it he should keep his mouth shut from here on out.

I didn't realize that Gallup and Co run around asking people who has the thunder and who doesn't, but if they did, we'd all know what the answer would be.

24. Although...
I do agree with you to a point. I think that his saddness yesterday had more to do with millions of American falling for the Republican spin points then it had to do with Rev.Wright, whom he knew was crazy from the start.

You know though, I envy people like you. Perfect friends. Perfect family. Perfect pastor. Perfect teachers. Perfect members of every board you've certainly served on. Perfect neighbords. Perfect neighborhood. With all of your perfect advantages, I'm left with only jealousy.

Next election, I'm going to make sure to vote for the only robot candidate that runs for office. Humanism is overrated.

I don't have to cater to a particular candidate to appreciate the antics and wisdom of Jeremiah Wright. I could listen to him all day, even if NEITHER candidate can stand him.

26. Explains our differences quite succinctly.
Although Wright speaks plenty of truth, his bombastic, arrogant style is like chalk on a board for me. Can't stand his constant grandstanding. I used to attend the John Coltrane Church in San Francisco, and if someone is going to be that loud and obnoxious, I'd much prefer they be playing an instrument.

46. Here, get a look at how DLC your candidate, Obama, is without actually being a card-carrying member:
Maybe you didn't realize this?

Ford predicted the DLC will play a major role in the issues debate that unfolds in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary process. The group will not side with any one candidate, he said, even though the organization has close ties to a number of potential nominees, from Vilsack to Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Joe Biden (Del.) to Gov. Bill Richardson (N.M.). Even Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) has expressed interest in "finding ways he could work with the DLC," according to Ford. (Ford describes Obama as a "personal friend" and says they talk regularly.)

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2007/01/fords_next_move.html

From a year ago:

DailyKos straw poll shows shows Kossacks prefer John Edwards 37% to Obama’s 27% with Wesley Clark a distant third at 14% (the Blogometer has checked these numbers at 6K, 13K ,and 16K votes and there has been no change in the %s). Netroots ambivalence towards Obama’s candidacy seems to stem from two related sources: 1) his perceived centrist/Liebermanesque/DLC rhetoric; 2) and his inability/refusal to lead take the lead on a major progressive issue (especially the war).

http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2007/01/obama_wire_the.html


The DLC doesn’t necessarily pre-select candidates, but they do keep an eye out for possibilities. Obama has been on their watch-list for some time. Now that they see his sex appeal, they may rally behind him. He could be Hillary without the polarizing effect, a real possibility to hold the office.

Obama can coast in with his insurmountable lead in pledged delegates, popular vote, states won, and money. It looks like he will also take the lead in SDs.

43. Bunch of turncoats
Just a few days back Wright was a favored character speaking truth. Someone to be defended by many on DU. He was treated unfairly by the media back then. Now he has emerged as someone who does not like to be dissed by his former friend and mentee and parishoner. All of a sudden we have to trash him just as the media has done.
He is still the same man. Just a little more steamed.

Where's the fairness in that?

60. I don't like the ranting
or the religiosity and some of the politics are dated (as Obama himself has pointed out).

However - he still speaks his truth to power. He just wants more of that power himself and it seems he cannot abide Obama having more of it. Or maybe he doesn't like being publicly dissed.

Barack stabbed as it were by Benedict Obama.

Mind you - Obama had no choice and none of this is at all fair. But then politics never is.

68. As I see it, and I assume that my opinions are still allowed here...
Wright built a church from almost nothing to the megachurch it is today. He did this with the help of his congregation. He, since he built his own pulpit, can say anything he pleases and can choose his own sermon material. Certainly anyone attending his church would agree with most of the topics he chose to speak about--thinking of them as 'food for thought.' Anyone who disagreed with his lines of reason would certainly not stay in that church for very long. When it comes to churches, there are infinite varieties of them out there.

Along comes this guy called Obama. Smart, Harvard Law educated, likes this particular church and joins it. Has his two daughters baptized there by Wright. A long friendship develops between the two men. Obama makes Wright his 'spiritual' counselor.

Now, Obama claims that he didn't hear all the sermons that Wright preached. Probably true if the definition of 'all' is the same as the definition of 'is.'

But, if we can conclude that Obama and his family attended this church for...ummmm...45 Sundays a year, then he heard some 900 sermons as preached by Wright.

This foofraw is not of Wright's doing. It is Obama's. Again, when the matter under consideration reaches the controversial proportions, Obama throws this old friend out of the boat to sink or swim on his own. A 20 year friendship destroyed. Such loyalty on Obama's part.

None of this reflects badly on Wright who is only guilty of what most preachers are guilty of. They tend to get wild when they get going. The congregation is comprised of people who have faced oppression all their lives. Small wonder that they like this clergyman who, indeed, speaks for them. Who has provided a place where they can recharge their batteries, get tutoring/teaching help when needed, food bank for the hungry and probably a score of many other opportunities.

Wright is not the problem--the problem is Obama who cannot see the trees for the forest he has dreamed up.

even though I didn't claim to be an Obama supporter in this thread.

Here's an extremely supportive thread I did of Obama quite some time ago pushing for his presidency:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2978738

Here's another thread I did in support of Obama, so up yours, pal.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3033492

Here's another thread I did in February of 2007 in support of Obama:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3106883

Bernie, if you're half as much a man as you are an asshole, you'll apologize for lying about me in this thread, scumbag.

And you are not one of us. Why the implied brotherhood?

As for Wright: it's really worn kinda thin, don't you think? But keep after it, by all means. Don't let me discourage you. Perhaps if you mention him enough times, something might change.

Always chock full of smears of insinuation, guilt by association, and other now infamous crappy tactics of your favorite candidate.

Don't worry if she steals the nomination I'll vote for her despite people like you.... not that you give a rats ass who I'm voting for.

You are totally unhinged mtnsnake because you are getting called out on your BS, and seeing you so unhinged.... I admit it makes me happy.

150. You can try
While you're at it look up the definition of coward and it'll say "Moochy". How's that? Even an 8th grader like yourself should understand that.

140. "Let's face it" doesn't mean I'm in the same camp as you, so pronoun this.
I suppose you've never heard that expression used in the same sense as I used it, eh? Gimme a fucking break. You knew exactly what I meant. I hope I can at least give you credit for that much.

You are totally unhinged mtnsnake, and it makes me happy


Yeah, I'm unhinged, and you're so level-headed. lol

Well at least you finally admitted that your purpose on DU is to attempt to make people be "unhinged", not that you accomplished that or even came close. It's you who's acting like a hysterical flamer, running around from thread to thread, spewing divisive bullshit like a fool. You need to get away from this place once in a while pal.

142. BZZZZT wrong again. "Let's" can only be inclusive.

Maybe it is an English as Second Language issue. I'm sorry if it is, but there is no case where you can address a group, say "Let's" and not signify that you are one of them.

Thats your basic review of the word 'us'. you *actually* have it backwards:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusive_and_exclusive_we#English
from wikipedia:

English distinguishes let's from let us; the contracted form is inclusive while the full form is generally exclusive.<1><2> For example, the "us" in "(come on,) let's eat" and "(hurry up,) let's go" can only be inclusive, while context and prosody make it clear that the "us" in "let us eat" (= leave us alone) and "let us go" (= release us) is exclusive.


Please cite an example wherein the speaker uses contracted "us" and it is non inclusive of the speaker.

see Cali's post for an example of an Obama supporter using the term "Let's" correctly.

145. Dude, you are SO right!
And Hillary is a forthright, upstanding, honest person who has been unfairly demonized for her "not-lies".

Oh, and to think, mtnsnake, I used to respect and value your opinion. For shame...

:(
