Sen. Barack Obama (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59319#) addresses controversy over his pastor in Philadelphia speech today</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Even as Barack Obama tries to focus his campaign away from racially charged remarks by his former pastor (http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59255), the Democrat senator (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59319#)could become haunted by his call last year to fire radio host Don Imus, who had referred to women on the Rutgers basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus,"Obama (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59319#) told ABC News in a story dated April 11, 2007, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

"He didn't just cross the line," Obama said. "He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America. The notions that as young African-American women – who I hope will be athletes – that that somehow makes them less beautiful or less important. It was a degrading comment. It's one that I'm not interested in supporting."

Seems like he only wants his daughters taught his brand of hate.

Nobody on my staff would be named after soldier billets.

So there.

To be sure, if I had my wish, Don Imus would never be on radio again, but it wouldn't be for nappy-headed ho talk. Dude boring, obnoxious and brain dead.

Very good Lubbock. Ha-ha! Put a big smile on this mornings face. Funny and true.

The mask of hyprocracy is off the pompous face of those idiots that have been pointing those hate filled, arrogant fingers at everyone else for the past 40 years. Very good.

worst stereotypes his 2 daughters were having to deal with Uh, I seriously doubt Obama's two daughters have to deal with ANY stereotypes of race. Obama, like the entire grievance industry, just can't get his head out of the past, and it wasn't even his past since he mostly grew up overseas.

That was an obamination error. He has obviously personalized the slur, his daughters have to deal with stereotypes, HUH!

He was showing black anger, not color blind leadership. Suppose the obamination had been white, would he have condemned the statement without personalizing it. "Dat man dere, he be talking about my girls!"
