Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

McCain’s Defense of Hagee
OK, there wasn’t one. As a result of controversy that was raised up about Pastor John Hagee within the past few days, Senator John McCain rejected the endorsement Hagee had given his presidential candidacy, without any apparent attempt to come to Hagee’s defense.At the center of the mentioned controversy is an argument Pastor Hagee included in a ...

Re: Nothing but net!
Not sure how the fraywatch editors selected this as a top entry, as several assumptions are contained in this piece that are beyond merely arguable. Firstly, while Obama has denounced his pastor for the remarks that have been edited together on YouTube, he has denied being in attendance during those Sundays when they were spoken. If those ...

Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...
... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...

You Miss the Point
The nature of the politics at play in the African-American community is what the media consistently misses in its coverage of the Wright/Obama controversy. The precinct-by-precinct model of the Obama campaign by-passed the leadership-organizational role that black churches and the black clergy played during the civil rights movement and with which ...

Michelle/Barack &amp; Wright article
I completely agree that it likely was Michelle who kept the Obama's going to that church all of those years, and more likely still, she probably was there often when Reverend Wright preached many of his sermons that even Barack would cringe at. Main stream media has ignored Michelle's thesis and much of her tone on the campaign trail. Barack ...

Don't blame Michelle for Obama's flaws
There's no evidence, and Hitchens alludes to none, that Michelle made Barack join Wright's church and stick with it through all the vile spewings. Remember, she was from the area already and had her own church. he was the one looking to establish, in his words, ''street cred'' in the black community, as he looked to establish a political base ...

MEMORANDUM BEFORE THE SUNDAY MORNING TALK SHOWS
The Wright controversy allowed critics of Barack Obama to lay into his judgement, his political instincts and reaction time, and his temperament.This Sunday, the chattering class will be intensely involved in a post-mortem of the controversy, and might find it profitable to ponder an example from American history.''[He] had no spontaneity--no ...

Enough comparisons of Obama/Wright..or!
Team Clinton's Mickey Kantor was caught on tape (posted on You Tube), making one of the most racist statements I’ve ever heard. He said: ''Look at Indiana - 42-40. It doesn't matter if we win; those people are shit. How would you like to be a worthless white ni***r?'' ...
