Pseudo-Intellectual
The audacity of Barack Obama

Barack Obama always give a great speech, and he's a generally classy guy who seems completely unlike his whacked-out, openly bigoted and stunningly ignorant minister Jeremiah Wright.Still, Obama chose Wright, not the other way around, and it's a hard decision to explain away.
Most pundits cheered, as expected, Obama's race speech last week, but not everyone was impressed. Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer raises some tough questions about Obama's continuing support for Rev. Wright.

Comments
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Mr. Dey, for helping to keep B. Hussein Obama's CHOICE of mentor and spiritual advisor in the forefront of topics in the presidential political race!!
As the Lib/socialists try with all their might to downplay and deflect attention away from this most important subject, other news stories will eventually cloud this issue. It needs to be kept "front and center" because it is a direct reflection of the (lack of) character, bad choices, and backround of one who is struggling to be the "leader of the FREE world" as "our" president.
B. Hussein Obama is supposedly running on the "platform" of change and touting his diatribe of striving to be a "uniter" for this "racially divided" country. IF he is such a "uniter" WHY hasn't he, for the last 20-odd years (or MORE), tried to be a uniting force starting with his own mentor and church congregation, those he knows BEST??!
I would suggest that he joined the church and participated in their activities as a way to gain "street cred(ability)" for his aspiring political "career"! He (Obama) could not "dis"(disrespect) any congregants, and especially his chosen "MENTOR", by suggesting that they "tone down" their "HATE WHITEY/HATE AMERICA" attitude and work to bring the Love and Forgiveness of Christ into their "Christian HEARTS"!!
B. Hussein Obama first went to the south side of Chicago to promote his social(ist)-work by teaching the "underprivelaged poor" how to "bilk the system", to get government assistance (handouts). It is a SHAME he did not teach those individuals how to work to improve the neighborhoods and themselves, allowing them to gain self respect and the respect of the community and citizens around them. I, personally, would respect him much more than I now do, if he would wave "chosen" such a path! IF you teach a person how to get government handouts, you KEEP him DEPENDANT on those handouts for the rest of his life, and do NOTHING for his self-respect/esteem!! If you teach a person how to work to build up the community AND themselves, you teach them how to be SELF-RELIENT which builds self-respect in and of itself, AND respect for all in said community!!
B. Hussein Obama is a member of the Democrat party, a party that THRIVES on divisiveness and hate!! How many times have you heard Democrat "leaders" denigrating large companies??! "Big oil", pharmacutical companies, Wall Mart, ANYONE that is "SUCESSFUL" (the RICH) and ANY/ALL that they can "suggest" to their "less successful" constituants are better off should be held in CONTEMPT, because of their own hard work and success!!
Democrat "leaders" BREED HATE for the very people and companies that PROVIDE JOBS AND THE TAX MONEY the Democrats LOOOOVE TO SPEND on the socialist "programs" that keep their constituants voting for THEM!!
The choices B. Hussein Obama has made and the company he keeps proves he is NOT a good choice for president of our great nation!! HE IS NOT A UNITER AND ONLY USES THIS "MANTRA" TO DUPE THOSE EASILY PERSUADED!!!
Charles Krauthammer has it (W)right in his column and the title says it ALL: "The Speach: A Brilliant Fraud", however, I would include BHO too: Barack Hussein Obama AND his speach: A Brilliant set of Frauds!!

I truly believe that the greatness of this country belongs to those of us who have worked for our status in life. Yes I grew up in a house where I was taught to be carefull are "Blacks", as I am sure there are American-Africans who were taught the same about "Whites". That being said, The Rev. Wrights sermons are no better than those heard in "White Supremecist" churches. Both teach hate, both teach racial divide, yet only the churches that follow Rev. Wright's philosophies condem America.
Senator Obam spent twenty plus years in that church and he choose to sit thru those sermons of anti-American hatred. That was his choice, but it shows he has a lack of judgement. Having lack of judgement even in personal matters such as religion, shows an inability to handle larger, National or International matters.
I see that Senator Obama has neither the experience nor the personal integrity to be President of the United States. Not just for his lack of judgement, which is case in point her, but I am savy individual who can see his voting record both here in Illinois and on the Senate floor. These votes are where you see his real lack of judgemnt, for he refuses to see that the United States does not want to be a Socialist experiment along the lines of Europe. Or is it he espouses Rev. Wrights philosophies and teachings about America and Senator Obama wishes to turn the United States into the Socialist Republic of Amerika.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.......HUFFF,HAHAHAHAHA,HUUFFFF HAHAHAHA HUFFFFINGTONNNN POST???!!! HAHAHAHAHA...I...CAN'T...STOP....LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHA. OOOOH MY, HAHAHAHAHA.
NOW WE KNOW, HAHAHAHA.... WHERE... HAHAHAHA... BillD.... hahahaha gets his MIS-information HAHAHAHAHA. PLEASE DISREGARD THAT PARRT HAHAHAHA. PLEASE disregard ALL BillD has posted!! HAHAHAhahaha! please forgive me for laughing SOOOOO "loudly", oooo I can't seem to stop!!! hahahaha!
HEY, BillD, WHERE is the credit for this drivel??!! Why not put in quotes what the author posted on the Huffington Post?? Wasn't it actually authored by someone named "Cenk Uygur"??!! Are you trying to "take credit" for another's column/words??!! Where are the quote marks and referance to the actual author??!!
This attempt to cloud the real issue is sooooo lame, it doesn't deserve reply!!!
HEY, BillD, the REAL issue is the Sena-traitor Obama is running on the FALSE "pretense" that HE IS A "UNITER"!!!! HE HAS NOT EVER, IN ALL THE TIME HE HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE RACIST REV. WRIGHT, TRIED TO DISUADE THE RACIST, AMERICA HATING DIATRIBE OF HIS MENTOR!!! The very FACT that Obama considers Wright a "mentor" ("trusted counselor or guide" according to Merriam-Webster online) Obama was LEARNING from the teachings of Wright!! IS IT CLEAR TO YOU YET, BillD??!!
LORD, PLEASE save us from these mis/un-informed Lib/socio-commies that will try to turn our great country into a communist run shadow of the great country it is!!
Posted by FReRydr on March 22, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Hey, BillD, I'm sorry, I was laughing sooooo HARD last night after reading your inept attempt to "spread the blame" to ANY and ALL EXCEPT your "beloved" "muslim's messiah" I could not, for the life of me, remember the term I was trying to recall, but just as I woke this mornong it JUMPED into my head, can you imagine the "term" I was trying to think of?? I'll give you a hint: it is when "someone" (you) use someone else's words, column, or statements as their(your) own, as in not quoting what is "their" (the author's) statement or words and NOT giving them direct credit for those words or statements. Hmmmmm, give up?? (PLEASE LOOK IN THE DICTIONARY UNDER "PLAGIARIZING",or "PLAGIARIZE") MAYBE that will help. In some circles, it is concidered the worst form of thievery, ESPECIALLY in a "news and/or blogger" forum, because it is UNETHICAL!! Perhaps you should apoligize to ALL, ESPECIALLY the author to the leftist/socio-comm DRIVEL that you ("seem" to) hold in high regard (except for the FACT you plagiarized his column)!!
NOW, lets concider the things YOU (apparantly) want "discussed"; WHERE have Rudy G., Mitt R. (who are now irrelevant, as they are OUT of the presidential race), and John McCain EVER said they were the "great UNITER" (AND running on the "change") of the "racism" AMERICA is "infected" with???!!!! Since you will not be able to find any referance of/to that, WHERE did these guys have as a "mentor", someone of the "ilk" of the RACIST, AMERICA-HATING Rev. Wright??!!
I don't know much of anything on the Reverand Parsley, so I cannot intellectually comment on him or his beliefs, myself, but perhaps you should do more study on Islam (the "religion of peace"). Have you ever heard/read the term "infidel"?? An infidel to Islamists is any person who is not a muslim and MUST be converted, eliminated (murdered or killed), or enslaved, according to the "religion of peace"!! AND Islamic fundamentalist TERRORISTS HAVE "declared WAR" on the "GREAT SATAN" (AMERICA) AND the "LITTLE SATAN" (ISRAEL)!!
BillD, It's kinda hard to dispute what YOU have "stated" here, since YOU did not actuall "state" anything except: "I eagerly await your "substantive" personal attacks." AND: "Oops, I apparently copied some garbled misc. stuff on the page into the body of the article. Please disregard that part. Oh well, I'm a liberal-socialist-commie somethin' or other and I'm inclined to do that kind of stuff." (the operative word here is "COPIED") THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS "Please disregard that part." AND AGAIN I say "PLEASE DISREGARD ALL OF BillD's POST!!!"
SORRY (not really), BillD, it is just TOO easy!!! YOUR arguments are just, how would you say it??, UNDERWHELMING!!!!!HAHAHAHAhahahaha!!

HEY, BillD,
YOUR SILENCE IS GOLDEN!!!!!
OR, is your NEW stage/screen NAME CHANGED???!! Do you now "go by" "FReRyder" ???!! in an attempt to discredit ME??!! with your slanderous post??!! no matter, I can refute your INEPT attempts, you see, "names/slander can never hurt me" as I can fight back with words of my own, and don't have to plaigerize someone else's work/words to do it!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

"Tell me. When did it become fashionable to be stupid? That's the thing I don't understand. The cult of the idiot. The elevation of the moron."
BillD, Your author, Kevin Horrigan, uses these words in his first paragraph, quoting from a Richard Harris' novel ("The Ghost", however he didn't state if it was fiction or non-fiction), BUT it IS in the first paragraph, so therefore, is the basis of his whole diatribe.
The words: "The cult of the idiot. The elevation of the moron.", describe EXACTLY the followers of B. Hussein Obama, who knows just the "tune to play" to make the Obammunists "dance"!
He joined the Trinity United Church of Christ, to gain "street cred" and launch his political career, following and learning from someone (Rev. Wright) that helped to make him comfortable with his racist attitude.
In her latest column, Ann Coulter reviews the "autobiography" of B. Hussein Obama, "Dreams From My Father", and her quotes about/from the book....:
"When his mother expresses concern about Obama's high school friend being busted for drugs, Obama says he patted his mother's hand and told her not to worry.
This, too, prompted Obama to share with his readers a life lesson on how to handle white people: "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
First of all, I note that this technique seems to be the basis of Obama's entire presidential campaign. But moreover -- he was talking about his own mother! As Obama says: "Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning." Say, do you think a white person who said that about blacks would be a leading presidential candidate?
....
He says the reason black people keep to themselves is that it's "easier than spending all your time mad or trying to guess whatever it was that white folks were thinking about you."
.....
By contrast, Malcolm X's autobiography "spoke" to Obama. One line in particular "stayed with me," he says. "He spoke of a wish he'd once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged."
....reveal just the type of racist Obama TRUELY is!!
It makes one wonder just WHAT "violence" caused the "white blood" to be a part of him, since Obama's mother never accused Obama's father of rape and they did get married, although Obama sr. was still married to his first wife at the time.
Study the past character of B. Hussein Obama and the character of those who surround him as advisors, friends, supporters and ESPECIALLY (past and current) mentors!! THAT will help to reveal the type of "leader?" he would purport to be!!
Barack Hussein Obama has had 20 years to try to "UNITE" (ALL) Americans, by starting with those he knows best, the friend and mentor Jeramiah Wright, the fellow congregants in the church he (still) attends, and he had NUMEROUS times to work with "the other side of the isle" in the Illinois Senate and the U.S.Senate, where he voted with the MOST liberal democrats all the times he bothered to vote (when/if he was there, and didn't vote "present")
Barack Hussein Obama would NOT make a good president, he doesn't even make a "mediocre" Senator!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND PROTECT US FROM "FALSE IMAGES" WHO WOULD LEAD US INTO SOCIO-COMMUNISM!!!
BillD, your silence is golden, but when you break the silence it is totally HILARIOUS!!!!HAHAHAhahahahaha
BTW (By the Way) BillD, HAVE YOU READ THE WEB SITE: freedomsenemies.com YET??!! IT RVEALS JUST THE TYPE OF TERRORIST ENABLER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA TRUELY IS!!!

52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - LIAR, your wifes pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezkos wife buys the lot beside it that you cant afford, saving you $625,000.
54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, its $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wrights, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clintons and McCains more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didnt mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLes comments perfectly sync with Wrights, Meeks, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you werent there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama the day after sitting for the interview filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obamas own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey
65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obamas pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to label Obama the black candidate. Read more here
66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama doesnt take money from PACs. He also doesnt take money from lobbyists.
But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obamas presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the centers totals.
Two of Obamas fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co. Source: Associated press via Yahoo News
67) I dont think my church is actually particularly controversial, Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month. - LIAR - But yesterday, he told a different story. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes, he said in his speech yesterday in Philadelphia.
68) Look at my education record in Illinois - LIAR - In reality, Obama never really championed the local councils. He supported them behind the scenes and only eventually came out publicly on their behalf. When he did weigh in, he came down on the wrong side of the debateagainst protecting principals from unwarranted dismissals and in favor of keeping councils independent, no matter what. In the end, the resolution of the conflict between the two sides didnt alleviate anyones concerns. Instead, it prolonged a turf battle that seems to have dragged down academic progress in the years since. Read more here http://www.slate.com/id/2188010?wpisrc=newsletter

BillD, I find it odd that you accuse others (me) of "inability to mount a substantive argument", however YOU do not refute any factual statements I have quoted or stated for myself, YOU have no "argument", YOU just attack those you disagree with. As with most Liberal/socio-communists, you can not refute facts, you resort to attacks.
I propose you are just as much a liar as your inept messiah, Osamaobama, when you state:
"I did read it (that loony website you frequent)......blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah..... I choose not to."
Either you READ it, or you DIDN'T! I would believe you opened it up and saw it didn't praise and extol the virtures of your "beloved messiah", so you had no use for reading the many facts, following Obama's life history, and his many lies and distortions along the way, chronologically.
May GOD protect our great country from inept socio-communists and their followers that would destroy our country and the freedoms that have made it great!!
