		<description>While I myself am one of them nutty religious wackos (i.e. Christians) that Mr. Hitchens may disdain, I can at least respect him for being what seems to be a nearly extinct breed in today&#039;s political arena: a critical-thinking liberal.

Hell, he&#039;s been more consistent on Iraq than the Bush Administration has collectively been.</description>

he did; that&#039;s an old pic. he inspired me to quit, too. :-)

&lt;blockquote&gt;

Obama and Hillary might be closet agnosts, continuing to fool many…both are capable of such grand deceit.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Mark my words: This disappointment is only the first of many that are still to come.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I said a couple of weeks ago that I felt we were just seeing the tip of the iceberg of the Obama hypocrisy.

New&#039;s flash, Obama is just another left wing it&#039;s all America&#039;s fault politician.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s unfortunate that Hitchens, while righlty criticizing another fool like Rod Parsely, has to leap to saying &quot;How true it is that religion poisons everything.&quot; How about, some dorks will find any means to express their idiocy and religion just happens to be one of them?</description>

		<description>We don&#039;t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows and we don&#039;t need Hitchens to know a racist liar and deceiver when we hear and see one.

Barry Obama is a disgrace!

He will NOT receive my vote, but he will receive my scorn!

Wright, and those who dance, scream, and clap to his offensive form of racism, bigotry, and hatred, are equally guilty and should be scorned and shunned.  They don&#039;t have the character to be trusted in any sense of the word!

Clinton is a vile individual whose ambition out ranks any sense of character, values, mores, and morals.  As a president she would be right up there with Darth Vader, ruling with intimidation, force, deception, and malevolence.

It is time we stood up to these hate mongers in brown skin, the &quot;Klan with a Tan&quot; as Dr. Walter Williams calls them.

Their sickness runs deep, and they are a bane on our society and our culture.

Racism, bigotry, and hatred by any color is just that, racism, bigotry, and hatred.  May it be relegated to the ash heap of history, never again to raise its ugly, red eyed, horned head!</description>

		<description>Obama didn&#039;t really credit whites with reasonable resentments vis-a-vis blacks. What he really said, smoothly but condescendingly, was that, yes, working-class whites have resentments but this has nothing to do with affirmative action or welfare, it&#039;s really because they are being manipulated and tweaked by the nose of their ignorant prejudices by...what else? Rich white guys! A guy wrote an entire book about it: &quot;What&#039;s The Matter With Kansas.&quot;  And he didn&#039;t even address absurdly high black crime rates--well, I guess he did somewhat: I feel sorry for his grandmother.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama condemned them [Wright&#039;s words], what more can he do?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, he condemned Wright&#039;s words, but then he immediately turned around and &lt;em&gt;excused&lt;/em&gt; them. Condemnation doesn&#039;t count when you say, &quot;I condemn these statements, but really I think they&#039;re understandable and excusable.&quot; He cancelled himself out by trying to qualify something that can&#039;t be qualified. Either he condemns Wright&#039;s insane and hateful points of view or he doesn&#039;t. You&#039;re letting him have it both ways. I won&#039;t.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Thus does the new great national conversation on race begin with a lie, smearing untold millions of blacks who don’t follow people like Wright in order to excuse a guy who did for 20 years.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

So good it bears repeating yet again. Well done.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Okay, really though, this game is getting tired. The pastor is crazy - yes - okay. But these weren’t Obama’s words. Obama condemned then, what more can he do?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

He can stop lying about not knowing the first thing about it, for starters.</description>

		<description>mattyj86
Obama claimed he was unaware of Wright&#039;s views. This was a lie. Wright is a close personal friend, spiritual mentor and until recently was part of Obama&#039;s campaign. 
Michelle Obama has also demonstrated her America-hating credentials. Given that Senator Obama&#039;s wife and pastor share many of the same hateful opinions, don&#039;t you think it&#039;s perfectly valid for us to question Obama&#039;s real worldview? He didn&#039;t choose his grandmother, but he &lt;em&gt;did &lt;/em&gt;choose his wife and minister.
Couldn&#039;t Obama have found another black church in a city of 3 million people?

btw Obama didn&#039;t really condemn Wright&#039;s views. He kinda sorta did, but he also heavily qualified it by saying &quot;I can understand his anger coz Whitey is such a bastard.&quot;
The MSM may have had a collective orgasm over Obama&#039;s speech, but ultimately it was a huge mistake.</description>

		<description>Hitchens always has to use the meat cleaver when a scalpel would suffice.

Remnants of his Trotskyite days when he was debating against other thugs and trash.

Is he himself a thug and trash today? Pretty damned close to it..</description>

		<description>mattyj86:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I’ve been to many black churches and never heard anything like this at all. I don’t think they’d suddenly change their service because one white woman showed up

Not one “the CIA invented AIDS to kill blacks” or “FDR knew about Pearl harbor” or, for that matter, any discussion of the “grassy knoll” conspiracy theory either.

I wonder if the Rev. Dr. Wright ever did a sermon on how a peace loving palestinian like Sirhan Sirhan could never have killed a soldier for the oppressed like RFK? 

Obama’s church is home to racism and crackpot conspiracy theories, and he chose to take his kids there for spiritual education. End of story.

There are lots of other churches in that small area of Chicago that didn&#039;t mix the racism and crackpotism, but Obama made his home in the land of teh crazee, for 20 years and thought it was the &quot;Wright&quot; place for his kids too.</description>

		<description>Okay, really though, this game is getting tired. The pastor is crazy - yes - okay. But these weren&#039;t Obama&#039;s words. Obama condemned then, what more can he do? In his speech on race, I think he made his position very clear. He does not share those  views, as I&#039;m sure many of Jeremiah Wright&#039;s congregation don&#039;t share some of his views. I&#039;m all for calling a duck a duck and Wright&#039;s comments were disgusting, but as Obama said there&#039;s a lot of anger in this country, racism has really torn us apart to our core and divided us, and this is what we need to move past to become unified. Wright&#039;s comments were deplorable but you have to figure in a larger context in which the anger and resentment that people have encountered in their lives based on racial divisions, the BOTH black and white people have felt, has caused a lot of pent up anger and frustration in all communities, and the negative effects of which are clear. Clearly Rev. Wright is stuck in a victim mentality, but black history in this country did begin in bondage. I would never abdicate personal responsibility, but to not understand the anger on some level that&#039;s present in this country would be to simply not have empathy.</description>

		<description>&quot;Thus does the new great national conversation on race begin with a lie, smearing untold millions of blacks who don’t follow people like Wright in order to excuse a guy who did for 20 years.&quot;
Well said AP, but, even tho I think it would be much better if Hitch were to just channel Bill Buckley, he does have that sharp Brit edge I still love so much. I know, I&#039;m a nutter.</description>

So, black Americans fought to not have to sit at the back of the bus, only to be thrown under it 50 years later by the first viable black candidate for the presidency.</description>

		<description>I hope what Hitch foresees as more inevitable disappointments do arrive before election day 2008. I dread the prospect of another Dem president riding a raft of lies to the White House empowered by personal charm and MSM coverup. That way lies a dangerous, ruinous arrogance.

Owing to his atheistic biases, Hitch employs his own misguided moral equivalence between McCain campaign supporters and Obama spiritual advisers. Within the Christian community, conflict over Biblical interpretation is what has defined differing faiths since the Reformation.</description>
