The Audacity to Hope?

[BarkleUSA]

WARNING: This is some scary anti-semetic, anti-American, anti-white, anti-just about anything that's not black with an attitude speech.

Here is the full text of Rev. Jermiah Wright's speech that inspired Obama's memoir and 2004 Democratic National Convention speech.

I think I've heard just about enough from that n-n-n-n-...........son of a bitch!

[BarkleUSA]

...after reading all this, and knowing that Obama and his family have spent most every Sunday for the past 20 years listening to this obscene crap... I can't imagine any white (or black for that matter) voting for him.

Obama's run is finished - time to fold up the chairs and tables, take down the posters, bag up the buttons and bumper stickers and turn out the lights on the way out.

It's a little pessimistic but I don't see any anti-semitic, anti-white, or anti- american statements in here. Its not any different than other black preachers sermons I've heard before.

So from listening to the sermons you have listened too, what is the point and the new results they want to see produced. God dam America? Translate his message in terms of action that he wants you to take?

I was talking about his audacity of hope message. I'll admit that his other messages that I've heard are NOT what normal black preachers preach to their congregations.

That wasn't the question. You simply refuse to state what results you want to see from your traditional left-wing stance. It shouldn't be tough. Your the one who describes your personal political bent?

Same thing with Obama and the Reverend Wright, what results do you think the Reverend Wright wants to see happen?

Spinning it as simply not normal means what?

In response to your question, I don't really know exactly what results Reverend Wright wants to see. I'm not in the man's head so theirs no way of knowing exactly. However, with Obama I think that the results that he wants are a stronger, more united America and a change from old politics. However, he wants to achieve it through the government and through policies that are frighteningly socialistic and frankly detremential to our economy and in some cases our national security.

I've heard it all before. Whitey is the cause of black children with no dads, blacks in jail at record numbers, uneducated blacks, blacks who wear their pants around their rectums, blacks who cannot speak English, blacks who don't know which way a baseball hat should be worn, blacks on welfare, blacks who call each other the N word, yada yada yada. Thank God for Bill Cosby and other intelligent blacks who speak out and are called "too white" by other blacks.

However, with Obama I think that the results that he wants are a stronger, more united America and a change from old politics.If one judges him solely by his rhetoric, HE doesn't know what he wants. Were "change", "hope" and "future" taken out of his vocabulary, he'd be struck dumb. He says absolutely nothing, but he does it so well that his fawning, fainting groupies don't care.

When one looks beyond his charisma and rhetoric, he's a rabid socialist.

[DesertFox]

with Obama I think that the results that he wants are a stronger, more united America and a change from old politics. Hey, everybody wants a stronger, more united America. That's what every presidential candidate implies even if he/she doesn't say it outright. What some won't say, of course, is that they plan to get that kind of America by stealing from some Americans to give to other Americans.

Old politics? What's that? Some people want A, some people want B, some want C and others D. In the negotiating and fighting, some win and some don't and some kinda win and some kinda don't. Some get sold out and others just get lucky. That's the only kind of politics there ever has been.

Yeah, thats why I'm so scared of his policies, they're just so socialistic. That and his 12 TRILLION dollar econnomic proposal which would spell disaster for our economy. I agree with what you said about politics, I frankly cannot see how politics could change as the very practice of politics is synomonous with corruption and deceit in my opinion.

Of course, there will be no hope for the economy if Obama carries out his promise to raise taxes by $3 trillion. Can you say, "Depression"?
