Better Lay Off Obama's Church....

2008-11-20T08:18:50Z

Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom. If you disagree with the thoughts, please be civil in explaining your disagreements. Cause it only makes you look pretty stupid if you resort to attacks on me and others viewing.

I don't think the American conservatives are getting the message. Matter of fact, I don't think they could be real conservatives. They can never fit the shoes of George Will and the late William F. Buckley.

Over three months now, and it seems that the Republican Party is looking forward to taking on the presumed nominee Democratic Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

But quarry the anger in the Black community. The death of Sean Bell has been received "local" coverage. This "local" coverage is truly an outrage in America. The mentality of the police and Blacks has been a touchy subject for years. I don't understand how the media could avoid this! And to think that the mainstream media is so focused on Jeremiah Wright is just an example of how corrupt the media is.

WorldNetDaily, a conservative opinion journal spearheaded this movement to smear Barack Obama. It's been led by Aaron Kline, a journalist who has ties to Jerusalem and a notorious history of falsehoods. Eric Rush, a conservative Black journalist has also benefited from writing the piece called "Obamanation", it can be found on WorldNetDaily's website. Kline and Rush have written smear pieces on Obama for the past three years.

Talk radio host and FOX News commentator Sean Hannity takes credit for "exposing" Barack Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Chicago. His feud with Jeremiah Wright stems from the "Hannity & Colmes" debate in which Wright confronted the falsehoods of his church. Now for over a year, Hannity has been on this mission to distract Americans. His audience is mostly conservatives who would not vote for Obama, so it's most likely I would not worry too much about the impact.

But in the terms of the FOX Virus, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are spreading the falsehoods about Obama, while covering up their notorious history of bigotry and ignorance. They jump on a Black preacher for talking but never bat an eye for the controversial comments of Glenn Beck, John Hagee, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, Bill Bennett, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and Rod Paisley.

In regards to the conservatives who are watching: I know this may seem to be a little out of your league but its simplistic! The Republicans are desperate for attention. They couldn't get Obama for being a Muslim, so they get him for being a Christian.

Now, if you are frequent listener to his radio program The Sean Hannity's [America] Show. Try to count up how many times the pundit says Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then during the three hours tally up how many times Hannity says these names. If you happen to get over 50 mentions of Jeremiah Wright, call his show at 1-800-941-SEAN and tell him: "I did a count on how many times you have mentioned Jeremiah Wright (or insert Bill Ayers)! I was wondering how many times you are going to mention the high gas prices, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and the Sean Bell trial!"

Also, if you want to mention Bohemian Grove, the 9/11 truth movement, or the Republican loss in Illinois and Louisiana, feel free to address his show. I am preparing to call him out on his constant attacks on Barack Obama and his church.

Rest in peace to those who died in the Midwest, South and Western tornados! Tiffany Snow, former high school friend. Those who died in the Burma cyclone! Those who died in Iraq and Afghanistan! And to those who have died serving our country.

Thank you to Tanya Acker, Bob Beckel, Jane Fleming Kleeb, and Alan Colmes for at least proving that you are not FOX News Democrats!

Congratulations to Jenna Bush on getting married to her longtime boyfriend. President Bush gets some good news for this troubling year.
