		<description>Darrel, 

Can you see Clinton&#039;s side? 
Do you see the sexism towards her?
 Do you see the bias press against her? 
Can you really give a solid legitimate reason for the way she has been treated? 
Can you really look at her resume and question her qualifications, but yet accept Obama&#039;s? 
Are you one of those who blame Hillary for what Bill does? 
Do you really think that Hillary is a c**t, b**ch, w**re, etc..?  
Do you beleive that women and men are equal?  
Are you threatened by the notion that a woman could be are next president? 
Are you programmed by the biased media? 
Do you really think they are telling you the truth about Clinton and her chances of winning? 
Do you think that the media played any role in working the public up into a frenzy building up to the Iraq war?  
Do you really believe that Obama is some great inspirational leader? 
Do you really think that the media is shoving Obama down our throats because the want him to be the president? 
Do you really think that Obama will be better than Hillary in handling the economy, globel warming, healthcare, and bringing the troops home?  
Did you know that General Electric, who owns MSNBC, is heavily invested in the war industry and in nuclear power? 
Have you ever wondered why Obama never seems to have specific plans about what he intends to do? 
Think about it!!!!</description>

		<description>Jan,

Thank you for that post!!!! Obama also ignores the real fears that women face when in the street. Any man could pose a threat. I will not feel guilty because I decide not to get into an elevator alone with a strange man who makes me feel uneasy, regardless of his color!!!!!! We get followed, herrassed, attacked, raped and intimidated, by men of all colors. I&#039;ll be damned, before I feel guilty for following my instincts!!!!!! 

And, Obama compares this to Wright&#039;s hate rage. His speech sucked big time. He focused on parelelizing whites with guilt so they wouldn&#039;t ask the questions we are asking here today!!! He also never addressed the anti-american hate that Wright spews. Again, the only lens he is capable of analyzing things through is race. He his not for all the people.  He has problems with gay people as well!!! Go Hillary, she is so much more facited and multidementional!!!!! She will be a president for all the people!!!!</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t read Obama&#039;s book and was wondering if anyone can corroborate this I found?

March 23rd,
2008
2:41 pm 
One of the commentors mentioned Obama’s grandmother. If you read his book you will discover that his grandmother was accosted by a black man. You will also discover that while living in Texas his grandparents both supported treating black people with the respect they deserve. So it surprised me when Obama equated his grandmother to Wright. A greivious error indeed. Not only greivious but shameful.

Kids need to learn things and not always be protected. Yes. But again, there is an age that children should under the best of circumstances not be subjected to certain things. Obama&#039;s kids (7 &amp; 9) now still fall in the zone where some things aren&#039;t appropriate. And regardless, what Wright was preaching in those sermons was no history lesson. It was pure hatred. 

Have you watched the videos? 

We&#039;re all entitiled to our opinions here. I have always said that. But I think we&#039;re talking apples and oranges and they can&#039;t be compared.</description>

		<description>Pamela: The strength of your argument comes from the point cited. That and the fact that I have never fathered or raised a child.

Being human, however, I have every confidence in my own thought process and am prepared to agree to disagree.</description>

You said the other day you still had not seen the video of Wright&#039;s sermons. With out seeing it you can&#039;t judge what he said as being something that parents should subject their kids to. Obama&#039;s two daughters are very young, far younger than 20 year old Darrell watching the news in 1967 -- there is no comparison.</description>

		<description>Children can never be prortected from the real world, but they can (and, some would argue, must) be prepared for it. My fall back position is always to cite the battle that took place at Black Panther headquarters in Chicago in, as I reall, 1967. The entire country initially heard about a gun fight between courageous defenders of our way of life and black subversives who planned to enslave all whites under black rule. The small percentage of us who meticuously scoured the media of the time learned about the follow up investigation that concluded that what had taken place was nothing less than a massacre perpetrated by the Chicago PD. There were, in fact, no bullet shots fired from inside the building.

I was there in the sense that I was alive, a citizen, and concerned about things being done that I would be responsible for if I failed to learn the truth and care about them.

I think that our society has started down a better path since that time, but I also think that we are not far enough down it that we can afford to lose sight of where the journey began. To exclude ancient history from the education of our children can be excused. To exclude events of only forty years ago, however, is arguably to deprive them of the information important to construct a frame of reference from which to evaluate any number of significant things happening in the society which they not only inhabit, but which we someday have aspirations that they will inherit the leadership of.

Do I believ that the past was different for some than for others? Yeah, I do.

Do I believe that that matters even into the present day, even into influencing things that children still need to learn? Yeah, I do!</description>

		<description>The math is really simple. I&#039;m sixty today, so I was twenty in 1967. I can find things from the perspective of the Obama side that make more sense to me than the comments here seem to allow for.</description>
