I Thought I Was For Hillary Until Barak's Speech

[calicat]

Now I KNOW I'm for Hillary.

Given the opportunity to reject Jeremiah Wright, Obama embraced him. Just like he embraced homophobe Donnie McClurkin.

Instead of being a leader and freeing himself of Wright, he plays a sheepish follower, unable to let go.

He threw his own grandmother under the bus.

He made snarky comments about political opponents in a major primary battleground, and wants us to believe this is all just a heartfelt oratory on race.

He lied about what he had heard in the pews of that church.

He flip-flopped on his commitment to run as a post-racial candidate.

His free fall in the polls may be irreversible. We're beginning to see how flawed he is. I'd call him an empty suit, if I didn't want to offend empty suits everywhere.

Let's just hope his exposure isn't coming too late. The repugnants are licking their chops.

[democrattotheend]

1. Such an empty suit that he can write his own speech

Has Hillary ever written one of her own speeches? I know her books were ghost-written.

[citygal]

53. I only tried to read "Living History"

and stopped reading it half way through. I was terribly bored. And I did not appreciate her going duck hunting. Blah.

[OhioBlue]

2. I'm confused - do you get your talking points from Hillary or Hannity? n/t

[FrenchieCat]

6. Isn't it coming off the same xerox machine?

[K Gardner]

49. Another Kos Exile, no doubt.

[krawhitham]

55. I do not know if the ignore feature can handle this much adbuse

[LittleClarkie]

39. Hillanity

With some Rush thrown in

[polpilot]

Stay tuned.

[Bonobo]

5. It's spelled "Barack". That's how I knew you were a Hil supporter BTW.

[subsuelo]

18. lol

:thumbsup:

[LTR]

29. Hey, wasn't there someone who was TS'ed earlier who spelled it "Barak"?

Coincidence?

[calicat]

36. Wow a missed keystroke

Stunning rebuttal.

[Teaser]

7. Welcome to DU

hopefully you will build on your low post count with lots of thoughtful and engaging posts.

[stop the bleeding]

8. We have a winner!

for dumbest post of the evening in GDP:beer:

[XemaSab]

10. Thanks for your concern.

n/t

[Guava Jelly]

11. riiiiiight

[Barack_America]

12. I suggest you stop watching FoxNews.

Seriously. If you are a Democrat, those are not the folks you want to be channeling.

It is really concerning to see so many Dems here spewing the talking points of Buchanan and Limbaugh.

[calicat]

13. He's getting plenty of criticism on both sides

And his poll numbers are taking a crap.

[Muttocracy]

27. data/links/etc.? otherwise it's just your personal opinion nt

[Lint Head]

14. What white racist hypocrisy!

Francis Shaeffer created the conservative Religious Right and the Anti Abortion movement. He also called for the overthrow of the US government and the killing of people. He was embraced by Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. nothing was said about his inflammatory remarks and beliefs. Many right wing evangelical nut jobs have called for the murder and subjugation blacks from the pulpit while white politicians said nothing and were in there congregation.

It is hypocritical for white politicians not to renounce horrendous language from their leaders yet they demand that a black man must explain himself.
The repugnants are licking their own asses.

You need to read Francis Schaeffer's Book 'Crazy for God'. He is the son of this right wing nut job and has exposed the lies that his own father told.

[calicat]

38. All scum should be renounced including Wright

Obama isn't up to it.

[Hawkeye-X]

15. Wunderbar.. We got another concern troll here..

Alert as necessary.

[meow mix]

16. Pat?

:rofl:

[goldcanyonaz]

17. Welcome aboard!

:woohoo:

[calicat]

19. Thanks!

People are finally starting to see through this character.

[calicat]

20. Yet no one refutes the points

The reality of this speech is setting in.

[surfermaw]

21. Calicat email me

[calicat]

22. Send me a pm?

That would be fine.

[Cali_Democrat]

23. Where did you pick up your talking points from? Free Republic? nt

[calicat]

24. Those would be facts n/t

[Sulawesi]

25. Fine, just vote for Hillary and shut up about it...you're on the wrong side of history and

there is no way for you to know that until some time passes by.

[Fovea]

26. Throwin it.

throwing is not hitting, however.

Hillary deserves more dignity than this desperate slam.
And I am not a Hillary fan.

Obama's speech was simply a masterpiece, and I am an Edwards supporter.
It showed Barak to possess a sensitivity to America's full spectrum.
It showed sensitivity to his friends and family, love and respect for the angels of their better nature, sadness and realism about their failings and scars.

You certainly have a right to your frame.
But, I mean, Damn!

Let me ask you this-- in Barak Obama's position, you would actually do what you suggest?

[calicat]

30. I really hope he gets out

He isn't up to it and is a disaster waiting to happen in the general.

[LTR]

28. Damn, how many sock puppets does this guy have?

[Catherine Vincent]

31. Welcome to DU!

Ignore all the idiots slamming you for supporting Hillary. Hope and Unity right?

[calicat]

33. Looks like it's a crime to support the lady here

Thanks for the welcome!

[Fovea]

42. The problem is that you didnt support Hillary

You slimed Barak.

But yes, your post does have a bit of a Beany and Cecil aspect in your use of a Karl Rove frame.

[Blondiegrrl]

32. Genius!

Only not.

You can't even correctly spell Obama's first name. Why would your opinion hold any weight with anyone?

[calicat]

35. I missed a flipping keystroke

I've done worse.

[mikelewis]

37. Poor grammar should not undermine the point being made...

The fact that the premise is wrong-headed and erroneous is what undermines the point being made. How ever, I would suggest not growing agitated with this youngster. The OP's lack of education is an endemic problem in America... the Bush cuts in education and his assault on schools that teach to a narrow test have ruined the critical thinking skills of our youth. Obviously, this teen has made an attempt to try and become more politically aware and should be commended on even being able to decipher the buttons on the keyboard and figure out how to string together words. Celebrate that victory and forgive the ignorance... celebrate that eventually this person of 12 or 13 may grow up to finally develop a real sense of the world and gain a deeper understanding of issues without resorting to cheap sound bites gleaned off the Chris Mathews Hardball TV Extravaganza Show.

[kwassa]

52. a wonderful insult post, DUzy material!

[dchill]

34. You're just Hillarious.

:sarcasm:

[DainBramaged]

40. How sad you recently appeared here to tell us this, how sad

I am a convert. As of yesterday. It's too bad you are looking at supporting the real racist in this battle.

Her win at all costs strategy allows nitwits to come here and spew shit. But we ain't buyin the bullshit.

[Cronus Protagonist]

41. He sent his grandmother to the back of the bus...

Now THAT's what I call UNITY!

:sarcasm:

[mikelewis]

46. Yeah... that's exactly what he did... then he mugged her and beat her over the head with his...

...giant black penis. And then he shit in his grandfathers shoes and sold him as a slave to a band of gypsies. Metaphorically speaking... of course.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

43. You don't think "the repugnants are licking their chops" over Hillary?

I haven't been swept up by Obamamania, but he did garner my vote with yesterday's speech. And everyone I've spoken to, Republicans included, praised it. It was refreshing to be spoken to as an adult, twist as you may. Work on your comprehension...

[PerfectSage]

44. Too bad Hillary the Inevitable has run such an incompetent campaign

Then you wouldn't have to post ridiculous newsmax talking points.

When you learn to think for yourself, you'll realize that the Clinton's are to the Democratic Party what the Bush's are to the GOP. Her campaign is broke. Soros turned her down for a contribution to pay for a second Michigan primary. Because of her poor campaign, second place in the race and the stock market going down the crapper, she's probably not raising the money she needs.

Soon the Clinton's control of fund raising for the Democatic party and control over the Democratic party will be a thing of the past. It's inevitable.

[babylonsister]

54. Inevitable. I pray you are right. nt

[PerfectSage]

56. Well I do think Rove has made up his mind. He wants to run against Obama?

Pray that Rove has underestimated Obama. He certainly overestimated Bush and he's an over rated grand strategist.

I'd guess he's somewhat responsible for the implosion of the gop for a generation, the economy(liquidity crisis + inflation) and the end of America as a superpower.

Wait till the Oct Q3 earnings season. I'd bet on a nice V shaped panic selling crater in the Dow. The dems have the economy in their favour for the GE. It's gonna be a long recession into 2010.

Compared to Rove, I'd guess Obama has got a lot more brains and alot more character and a lot more integrity than Rove.

Enough to take the GE and gain contol from the Clintons over fundraising? Hope So

Gobama!
Go Dean's 50 State Strategy!
Go Grassroots!

[pbca]

45. Welcome to the Ignore list

You're #186

[K Gardner]

47. Missing the gang at Kos? Came all the way over here to spread the disease of ugliness at DU? There

are about another dozen or two just like you. Hopefully, you won't last long. One dozen is enough, and you're on ignore.

[Raffi Ella]

48. AMEN

welcome to D.U. :)

[babylonsister]

50. repugnants - never heard that one before. Did you pick that up elsewhere? nt

[DemGa]

51. I see Obamas are flailing about rushing for the ignore button

How the truth of St. Obama hurts!

[dkf]

57. You are smearing Elizabeth Edwards by using her as your avatar.

I hate it when I see people putting her face by such awfulness.

Show some respect, will you?
