VDH: Race and the Democrats. Postmortem

[DesertFox]

The Wright scandal has now been clarified as much as it is going to be clarified: Obama senses that most (given the alternative of Hillary or the self-destruction of the nation’s first competitive black presidential candidate) want to believe him—and where there is a will, there is a way.

So Sen. Obama apparently is going to insist that either the racialism and hatred of America (“God damn America”) voiced by Rev. Wright are maliciously cherry-picked and taken out of context (despite the clear evidence of entire sermons delivered in toto on these topics and in this style); or he is going to stonewall by condemning only piecemeal each successive and more astounding venomous sound-bite that surfaces—while contextualizing them by claiming that Wright is retiring, that someone who raves about AIDs being created in the U.S. is a “scholar,” and that Wright was a Marine, etc. And don't dare raise the issue again, since you, not the Rev. Wright, are the problem, or as Obama proclaimed on Saturday, —"The forces of division have begun to raise their ugly head again." Again? Or as they have for 20 years at the Trinity Church?

It doesn’t seem to matter that there is more than enough evidence in Obama’s own memoirs and past interviews and puff pieces—as well as the common-sense deduction that one does not frequent a church for 20 years and remain oblivious to the ratings of its preacher—that Obama knew what went on.

Wright is a flaming asshole and Obama's an idiot jackass for hanging around with him.

Oh, "taken out of context." Of course! The typical liberal excuse every time they are caught with their foot in their big mouth.

Taking ONE comment out of context would be a genuine excuse. What the good reverend spews in the DVDs his church sells, is less than 1% of the total amount of time he spends on his soap box ... I mean, on his pulpit, talking the same rubbish.

Think of what we've been hearing lately as "The Best of Reverend Wright" kinda stuff. Obama and his ilk will try to pretend that this is the very first time his mentor said anything so hateful. Nice try, Barak. Your mentor has been preaching this rot for a whole bloody 30 YEARS!

I've said it often, I'll say it again. Liberals are the living example of a thing called genetic garbage.

Well, when listening to McCain on Hannity's show tonite, he says that his position is one of reconciliation, when it comes to Willaim Ayers, and that he doesn't think Obama believes what his supporters believe.

I didn't want to ruin anyones Sunday evening, but it sure did sour mine.

McCain and Hillary don't need to pile on because Obama's Rev. Wright melt down is reaching the China Syndrome stage on it's own. Anything either would say to pile on would spark a huge AA backlash - albeit it would bite Hillary worse because she is counting on the traditional 90% AA support.

Still, I'd like to see McCain cut out the "reach across the isle", "New Tone", "Reconciliation" act. It didn't work for Bush and it won't work for McCain.
