Ferraro will now be scripted into that speech for generations to come. she should be mad and she should ask for her name to be retracted from the orginal pages.

I don’t think anyone should show Wright respect by calling him “Pastor” or “Reverend” Wright. He thinks he is a man of God, but he’s more of an anti-Christ.

Look what type of crowd he’s attracting — racists (Wright, Farrakhan and the violent Black Panthers), corrupt people (Rezko), dumb people (his wife, Ted Kennedy and Kerry, who is a sore loser), etc.

Josee wrote, “Well I think that Obama’s reaction to Ferraro may have evolved upon reflection as other situations evolved and I would hope Ferraro could see that in his speech he was not trying to further isolate her but to actually be understanding of where she was coming from.”
Well Josee, she stepped down, why doesn’t he?

Ferraro should be fired from the campaign. She made disparaging remarks about Senator Obama that were loaded with subtle racism and not helpful. And so she was.
Wright should be fired from the Obama campaign. While he spoke accurately about Hillary Clinton never walked in certain shoes, he also made inflammatory remarks about white racism that are not helpful. And so he was.
Neither one should be disowned. Wright wasn’t. I assume Ferraro wasn’t either.

This incident proved obama’s hypocrisy, and he couldn’t be the man for change, using his color as an excuse for racism, Ferraro was right to the point in her comments, and what she said is a fact , ” Obama wouldn’t be there if he is not what he is”, they all know it, he is the new trend for this election season , the new fashion, the obamamania , that will fade away by end of the season in 4th of November,this is part of the show there got to be an Obama , for more excitement and more thrill ,and intense media coverage with more sales and more ads, and he might get the nomination to be the party’s choice for the CEO position for more thrill and excitement… WOW what a business,but no nuts will chose a rookie to be the Commander in Chief of the country unless the want the country’s future and it’s interest to go into the drain and Obama realize this fact very well ,so why he is using Ferraro as a tool ?… hypocrisy …right ? , where is the change in such mentality ? , McCain will be the right piece of the puzzle, and there got to be an Obama so McCain can insure the position which by the way, will be the best for the country’s future and interests. with Obama there you don’t need to think much on 4th of November , and this is what’s behind Ferraro comments , the good part in this …senator Obama is full aware of this fact… Mac is Back

Nuts come in many colors
Why isn’t the anti-Catholic, misogynistic, gay-bashing preacher John Hagee hurting John McCain, who sought Hagee’s support, got it, and appeared on stage with him? Answer: Hagee is white. When whites see a white nut, we dismiss him as fringe. But a black nut? Hold on, pal.
White preachers say the darndest things. Pat Robertson: “Just like what the German Nazis did to the Jews, so liberal Democrats are doing to evangelical Christians.”
According to his son, when evangelical pioneer Francis Schaeffer “called for the violent overthrow of the US government, he was invited to lunch with Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr.”
The late Jerry Falwell blamed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on American pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, and lesbians.

‘so saddened’, why do you keep posting those lies?
Obama’s father DID herd goats as a boy. He attended American universities on scholarship. Even the airfare was beyond his means, but fortunately the Kennedys had set up a fund for developing world students to be able to get to the U.S. to use their scholarships.
Barack’s grandfather was a cook for the British. Is that your idea of ‘affluent’? He wasn’t a fancy chef – he was a COOK. Ever see the photos of is wife Sarah’s hut in Kenya? Not exactly the house of an ‘affluent’ member of society, is it?
Barack was on scholarship to the school in Hawaii – and lived with his grandparents in a tiny apartment. Ever see the photos?
More to the point, WHY do you feel it so important to portray Obama as part of some wealthy ‘elite’ group? Is that one of the Rush Limbaugh dittohead talking points? Because I really don’t see its relevance, unless you’re trying to ‘prove’ that only people who come from an upper class can do well academically and professionally. Meaning those who don’t….

frank storm, actually even the difficult times are lies. the father who was allegedly a goat herder was actually affluent. after time in indonesia, etc., he went to an exclusive private school in hawaii. and on and on. check out site if you want the true biographical info.
