Funny B Hussein Obama campaign has taken on a messianic style almost a religion of sorts. Now the debate is going to be held at Messiah College how appropriate. Jerry White, Springfield, IL

I wonder how much fundraising money for Mrs. Clinton is coming from Colombia…let's check!! Where is a Penn when you need one?

If McCain makes it, will he bring his two maniacally evil "Spiritual Guides"?

What, John W. McCain isn't invited?

Why is this racist still running for the presidency of the United States? If he were a white person he would have been label toxic by the press. To vote for this man is to buy into the ideology of Racist Wright. I do not feel any guilt or responsibility for the plight of black america. This county has bent over backwards to help these people and they have done very little to help themselves. When will black america wake up and see that they are responsible for their plight as a people. 70% of black children born in this country are born out of wedlock. There is a server lack of emphasis on education in the black community. There are too many black children being raised in single parent homes and too many time the father is neither financially or emotionally involved. There is high incarceration rates amoung black males from their teens through their twenties. There is a major drug addiction problem amoung inner city blacks. Gangs are rampant in the inner city. Wright and Obama would have white America believe that it is our fault for all of these problems. The problems that ONLY the black community can solve. The first step to solving the problems is to take personal responsibilty for your actions and stop blaming others for YOUR failings. Why is it that other ethnic groups in this country thrive? Could it possibly be that they have taken personal responsibilty for their lives and the lives of their children. This problem enrages me because I truly believe that anyone one in this country can be successful regardless of race. I know that racism exists. It affects all of the people of this country regardless of color. This problem will always be with us but it should not be an excuse for not trying. If you focus on your abilities and work hard you will succeed in this country. You may think by reading my comment that I am a racist but I am not. I would truly like to see the black community reach the promised land. I love this country and I love its diversity. It is what makes us American. It is Our strength.

TERRIBLE Tommy is right in every assept except he forgot to mention , what Repubicans have done to improve thecondition of the poor(white and black) homeless and other people with disabilities. Clearly shows his lack of knowledge of the subject. He should work and live in poor neighbourhoods.I am docctor from India I know somethig known as raceism. It will take activism on part of community leaders and Government and of course time.. We have more inmates in jails than rest of world combined. Does it make sense

Black Americans did not come to this country as "immigrants," they were torn from their homes and families and made to work live and work as animals. They were property. Unlike immigrants, they have not faced a couple of generations of discrimination, they have faced centuries of dehumanization in this country. Given all that, they've done remarkably well.

No to Obama, yes to Clinton. No to Home Grown racist who did not slap his pastor on the wrist till election year , yet was quick to denigrate Imus. No to Obama as I question why he really did not vote for the war - Any answers Mr. B. Hussein? I would vote McCain before Obama.

As for thoe people who posted the above racist comments... all I can say is: with God's help we shall overcome.
Hussein is just a name like any other. It only incites hatred in the heart of those who hate people of arabic descent.
We're all God's children, created in his image. Our ancestry, or the color of our skin does not determine who we are. I am very pleased to see that America is leading the world by showing it that we are a nation that exemplifies the goodness of man by casting our vote for the one who represents our values, not our prejudices.

I can't understand why Obama is still down 30 superdelegates to Clinton; he should be at least 30 over Clinton. C'mon why don't you man up now or woman up now and stop waiting for PA. Clinton is a complete hypocrite and sham. I feel bad for those that donated to her campaign. Remember it's not to late to change your mind - support Obama!

Maybe Hillary can enlighten voters on 'forgiveness'.

WHAT IS RACISM?

We are told not to even dream of living without Europeans controlling our lives or without Europeans controlling the wealth of our continent. How very Christian! How very civilized! How monstrous!

WHEN YOU KEEP IN MIND THE COMPLETE DEFINITION OF RACISM
AND THE HISTORY OF EUROPEAN RACISM AGAINST US,
YOU WILL SEE HOW OUTRAGEOUS AND MONSTROUS IT IS FOR RACISTS TO CALL US RACISTS.

WE ARE NOT RACISTS JUST BECAUSE WE RESIST THE TERRORISM OF EUROPEAN COLONIALISM.

AND WE ARE NOT RACISTS JUST BECAUSE WE POINT OUT THE CRIMES THAT THEY HAVE COLLECTIVLEY COMMMITTED AGAINST US OVER THE LAST 500 YEARS.

AND LASTLY, WE ARE NOT RACISTS JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE

BEING SLAVES TO EUROPEANS
AND BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO BE ASSIMILATED

INTO THE DEATH OF BEING PART OF WHITE CULTURE.

WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE TRYING TO DILUTE THE POWER OF THE WORD "RACIST" BY CLAIMING THAT IT IS RACIST OF US TO POINT OUT THE MONSTROUS CRIMES THAT EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN COMMITTING AGAINST US OVER THE LAST 500 YEARS, DURING THEIR COLONIAL OCCUPATION OF OUR CONTINENT.

Be educated before calling anyone racist...here is a clue.

I cannot beleive your rant - so you are ok with Limbaugh, Hannity, Hagee, Farwell, Pasley and their ilk all blant racist. It is the thinking and actions of men just like them that have created the black slums.

The Black Community was torn with welfare the worst creation of all times; to qualify a household had to be fatherless , LBJ idea and Prior to that in most of MLK era Black households were two parent at least until the fathers were drafted or lynched.

McGovern, Thurmond, Lott some of the highest ranking racist in America were elected to office and I bet you had not qualms.

Wright a man that is not running for office says much the same thing in reverse and you are all worked up.

Did you know that WWII blacks endured racist attitudes moreso in America than the countries they fought in? Experiments were done on them was that racist
People like you kill the dream because you find ways to reject rather than accept a qualified man.

Do you watch sports? I am not sure but as far as I know the major sports in the USA are are intergrated. So no team can win without their non-white players.

What do you think of Colin Powell, Condi Rice? They are OK? Both have recently spoken out that they know that they are seen as Black and treated as Black before anything else. If not recognized they do cannot eve hail a cabs and treated like any uneducated black.

I bet you would have the same racist rant if Richardson were running - you would cry of him speaking in spanish.

Did you know that RAP music a multi-billion industry create to make white men rich is mostly hate; it is another tool that racist America sells to Black males as an example of sucess and Young whites listen to rap and start acting the same way now calling themselves wiggers?

You have a far larger problem that one man at church pretty much telling his flock to not count on getting a handup or a handout but to stand and do for themselves. This Church has done many things to help not just blacks but you choose not to see that.
IF you can tolerate Limbaugh, Hannity, Hagee, Farwell, Pasley,McGovern, Thurmond, Lott then you certainly owe Wright the same chance.
Lastly btw of the haters listed above, how many joined the military and served their country? I will tell you.... ONE Now guess which one.
You need to focus!
Men and woman of every race are dying right now in a war that we should not be in, focus on jobs being sent out of the country.
Focus on our debt being own by China.
Focus on McCain from his speech thinks that Military should be for everyone - translate DRAFT, how old are you?
Focus on Clinton not recalling she if she was shot at, with her daughter no less and her doublespeak on NAFTA.
Keep your eye on the prize or at least focus of real issues.
Taking you at your word that you are not a racist perhaps you could consider a small donation to something like the Tiger Woods foundation or being a big brother to a fatherless boy of any color.
You should consider that Obama, Oprah, Michael Jordan and other black attended Wrights church and MAYBE they were working to change the direction of the dialogue in the church - if you are not a menmber, if you just jump up an quit then you have no influence.

Seeing these respected blacks in the church perhaps served as an alternative to a young kid at the crossroads of education.
I am not defending the Wright snippets played in endless loop rather I am defending his lifelong actions that on whole rises above. His church does not deserve to get death threats no matter what.
Black Churches and Jewish synagogues are bombed - no other churches - this too is something to ponder.

that was a good point about the wright hype.

Just because wright talks about the injustice to his people and other people doesnt make him a racist.

At worst you could say that
he thinks we havent being making much progress.

Obama wasnt even there when he said g d america
how can you hold obama accountable for something his pastor said when he wasnt even there?

It seems obama turned this supposed weakness into a strength something i find remarkable in a president
with his honest assesment of race relations.

1% of u.s. population behind bars. When you see brand new jails and 100 year old schools in the same area then something is out of balance.

If you based your vote on what Wright said then maybe you should look in the mirror and ask who the real racist is.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

jacksmith...

p.s. You Might Be An Idiot!

If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

WHAT IS RACISM?

The following is a response from the Mexica Movement, an Indigenous rights educational organization, to the white supremacists who have the shameless audacity to call us racists.

They (the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Minutemen, white supremacist commentators on CNN and Fox TV, KABC hate radio, Anne Coulter types in the print media) say that we are racists.

They say that we are racists because we are pointing out all of the crimes that Europeans have committed against us (Nican Tlaca, all of the Indigenous people of the "Western Hemisphere") over the last 500 years, and because we dare to still claim our continent and the wealth of our lands.

They say that we hate all white people and that we should go back to being who we were for 500 years, a quiet people enslaved in ignorance to the will of white people.

They demand that we assimilate, that we melt into the "melting pot" of ethnocide, that we disappear. We are an irritating and embarrassing reminder to them of their monstrous and criminal past. They say that we should forget the past.

Meanwhile they are obsessed with their supposed Greek-Roman, Medieval-Renaissance past, because it gives them glory, pride, and a sense of accomplishments. When it comes to telling what happened after 1492 they don't want to be reminded of what they did.

First off, we do not hate white people and we do not consider all white people to be white supremacists! We know that there are good and bad people in all races. We know that a lot of good white people helped bring about a lot of the civil rights that we have today.

But we will not back off from teaching our people and the rest of the world of the great civilizations that were here before the European invasions, nor will we cease to tell of all of the crimes that were committed against us by Europeans, and continue to be committed against us.

The dominant or majority member of government suppresses the minority member of government. Many whites want blacks to believe that they (the white race) are our messiah. We should be thankful for all that they have done for us. We were not given freedom of speech and of a quality education, we had to build our own schools, churches, stores, and towns. When they became profitable and successful, our towns were burned down as were our churches. Those of you that spout hate of Blacks are the very ones who are the off spring of the KKK. We recognize the hate. We recognize it because we know that it still exists. You can fool your neighbors but you cannot fool us. Even with all of the spouting of christianity...the KKK represented the pillar of many communities, we recognize that you are house hatred for any race that is not white. In your town, there will be no Black or Latino govenors, or elected officials. There will be police constantly looking to purge society of outspoken AA. Yes, we recognize you and we are watching and waiting...it is people like you that are responsible for the economic destruction of the great US of A. It is time for America to realize that God did say an Eye for an Eye. You cannot go unpunished. I pray for America. I pray for Hillary and Barack. I pray for you! May your heart be not so harden with hatred and racism. May you see people as Jesus did...

Is that asking too much for this America...always in search of the bad and never seeing it in themselves....

Jacksmith is right on his points.. The electorial college is the determining factor during the National Election. However, all that is talked about in the news is the delegates and super delegates. What voters need to keep track of the electorial votes.
Also, it is important to understand what a blue state versus a red state is. Blue states are the states that typically have more registered Democrats then Republicans in that state. Red states are the opposite, they have more registered Republicans then Democrats. So, during the primary process, Democrats only vote for the candidates in their own party, the same for the Republicans. This process eliminates those candidates that do not carry enough delegates to continue. The Republicans do the same. Some of the primaries are on the same dates and some are on different dates. Keep in mind that the primary voting process is you voting for a candiate within your own party and has nothing to do with the other party. At this point the Republicans have gotten to Mr. McCain as their candidate after he won enough of their party's required delegates. In the Democratic party we are still working through that. So, the last ten states and their voters need to educate themselves with the remaining candidates and know which serves their needs.
Now.... the media will have you believe it is hopeless for Mrs Clinton because Obama has won twice as many states, but it does not matter how many states you win, what matters if the states you win as a Democrat are the BLUE STATES. Obama has won mostly RED STATES (the states held by the republicans) and this is misleading to voteers who do not understand the difference. On the contrary, Hillary has won most of the BLUE STATES (the states held by democrats) which has the highest percentage of Democrats in those states.
What this should be telling the voter is that Obama is not winning the majority of the registered democrats but more republicans and independants. When the national election comes, Obama is showing in the primary process that he is not able to win the Blue States where the most democrats reside and vote. Hillary can and does. During the national election winner takes all... it is not split like in the party primaries. So, if Obams is only winning red states during the democratic primaries, when the national election comes, those red states are going to vote for McCain.... The republicans will most likely go back to McCain and the Independents can float either way. So, what they might have voted in the primary may not be their decision six months from now.
IT IS CRITICAL TO SHOW AS A CANDIDATE THAT WHEN RUNNING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, YOU HAVE TO WIN or CARRY THE BLUE STATES. These are the majority of the states Hillary has won. She will win Penn, another blue state...
So, again repeating... When getting caught up in all the cable polls, comments that Hillary cannot or will not win.... remember, they do not speak of the electorial votes (college) and that she carries more at this writing then Obama. The electorial votes will be the deciding factor. The larger voter states carry more of these electorial votes and those are the states Hillary is winning....
President Bush won because of the electorial college... he had more then Gore, even though Gore had more popular votes. That is the voting process in this country. Is is considered fair by everyone, probably not... but that is what has been decided by our country and until the law is changed, we have to abide by this process as we have done for past Presidential elections.
I hope that this makes sense... Sometimes writing it can be a little harder then speaking in outloud to others.. :)
Thank you for your time

Wow. You people need a life.
