"Civil Rights Icon Rev. Joseph Lowery Says Blacks Who Vote Against Obama Have Slave Mentality"

I really respected and admired Rev. Joseph Lowery for his fight in the civil rights movement, but I am very insulted his recent comments. In an address to the Hungry Club at Butler Street YMCA in downtown Atlanta, he re-stoked the fires when he told the largely African-American audience that “a slave mentality” was fueling black doubts about Obama’s chances of capturing the White House.

Atlanta mayor takes jab at Bill CLinton during MLK address

"ATLANTA (AP) Atlanta mayor and Barack Obama supporter Shirley Franklin says the U.S. is on the cusp of turning the impossible into reality, and it's "not a fantasy or a fairy tale." She was speaking to more than 2,000 people at the Atlanta church Martin Luther King once led. Among the crowd was former President Bill Clinton.

He has been criticized for describing Obama's Iraq war stance as "a fairy tale." Clinton sat with his hands clasped in front of him while the largely black crowd erupted in applause at Franklin's comments.

Clinton had his own turn at the pulpit, saying King "freed us all to fight the civil rights battle" together. He said the diverse group of presidential candidates including a black man, a Mormon, a woman and a Baptist preacher was made possible because of King's vision."

And this:

(Translation from Spanish)
"Hillary Clinton does not respect our people. Hillary Clinton supporters went to court to prevent working people to vote this Saturday — that is an embarrassment.

Hillary Clinton supporters want to prevent people from voting in their workplace on Saturday. This is unforgivable. Hillary Clinton is shameless. Hillary Clinton should not allow her friends to attack our people’s right to vote this Saturday. This is unforgivable; there’s no respect

Sen. Obama is defending our right to vote. Sen. Obama wants our votes. He respects our votes, our community, and our people.

Sen. Obama’s campaign slogan is “Si Se Puede” (“Yes We Can”). Vote for a president that respects us, and that respects our right to vote. Obama for president, “Si Se Puede” (“Yes We Can”)."
