for all obama's hype about his white grandmother being racist and throwing her under the bus to deflect from his racist preacher, here is what he says in his book about his black grandfather:


When the two of us got married, your grandparents weren’t happy with the idea. But they said okay-they probably couldn’t have stopped us anyway, and they eventually came around to the idea that it was the right thing to do. Then Barack’s father-your grandfather Hussein-wrote Gramps this long, nasty letter saying that he didn’t approve of the marriage. He didn’t want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman, he said. Well, you can imagine how Gramps reacted to that. And then there was a problem with your father’s first wife…he had told me they were separated, but it was a village wedding, so there was no legal document that could show a divorce….” [93]

Dreams of my father....

how convenient that is never mentioned in his race speech....this guy is a narcissistic danger....

Does it matter? really, truly and honestly, do you really think that the black father who married a white woman passed racism to his half-white. half-black son? Fucking Christ Yurt, Jesus couldn't get elected to office on your standards.

I mean, god forbid that an old black man might have been a racist in the 50s-60s era, I mean it's not like whites were burning crosses on their lawn, or doing other such racist things back then like making them uses separate facilities, or sit at the back of the bus. I mean, really, just completely unthinkable there might be some fallout that black people of the would have had against white folks.

Next, has Anyone, anyone at all, switched sides during all your posts? Even one? Stop posting the same stupid tired crap, and find something new Yurt. This isn't going anywhere, it isn't going to end, it isn't going to work at convincing anyone of anything. So what the hell is the point of the thread?

Conservative Libertarian, actually. I'm just sick of the whole damn thing. Obama's granddad's words before he was even conceived have absolutely nothing to do with his candidacy now.

I said the same thing when Gore made that bullshit swipe at Bush in 2000, about the DUI Bush got when he was 25, two decades prior to his candidacy.

this isn't a matter of "liberal vs. conservative", this is a matter of "Obama is not responsible for people having somewhere in their lives having said something racist". I do not judge him by the most asshole people who know him, he's a politician, that list would get too long too fast. Am I voting for? Not a chance in hell, he's going to increase the size of the oversized government even more, so that's not happening.

obama said in his race speech:


But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now

so according to him, yes it does matter and he made that speech an integral part of his platform for office.

so then it was ok to disparage solely his white grandmother without mentioning his racist black grandfather?

He couldn't, he hung with prostitutes and tax collectors. He's already a dead duck right there, the way that you've put it.

so according to him, yes it does matter and he made that speech an integral part of his platform for office.

How does his Grandfather whom he has absolutely no control over, given the comment was made prior to his birth matter in his bid for presidency?

So now, by your standard, Yurt, a candidate must be premade prior to their birth, have no one, not one in their entire family line that has ever said anything bad, in order to run for office? Well, there goes all public office.

so then it was ok to disparage solely his white grandmother without mentioning his racist black grandfather?

He wasn't "disparaging" either of them, that's your bent on it, because you entered that speech looking for something wrong with him, period. And yes, for the period, his grandmother, and his grandfather's opinion were pretty much the normal. That's how we ended up with that whole civil rights movement in the 60s and 70s. Obviously, things were not exactly smooth in those days.


i have no idea if anyone has switched sides, many guests read the forum, and many members might not say. as to what i post, pound sand... i post on many issues and if i hit the issue that obama says we cannot afford to ignore right now, don't worry your little head about it...

you didn't hit the issue, you hit his grandfather before the time of Obama's birth. Do you hold yourself by the most idiotic remark your grandparents have ever said?

so you think we should ignore race? if a KKK member was running for president, we should ignore the fact he is KKK?

Wow, surprised you didn't jump straight to Hitler to go so far off point. His grandfather said one thing, one, that had a racist slant to it, and Obama was open about it. His grandmother and his grandfather, black and white both, were in a time where, yes, those opinions were the norm, not the horribly racist comments that they are being hailed as today. that's the whole thing of things having progressed since then, is that both comments were snapshots of a time prior to affirmative action, hell prior to black being allowed into the same schools, and the same restaurants.

If you showed up at IHOP tomorrow, and you saw a sign that said, "Whites only", you would be horrified to see something like that, but back then, most whites treated it with the same amount of notice as we treat "Push" and "Pull" signs. Again, things have changed since that time, and you may want to start applying context when you read things.


edit: this guy has a strong potential to be the next president and yet stryker thinks this stuff is no big deal.....

Only because it doesn't, it's a dog & pony show item. Name one point where I have argued in favor of one of his issues. Yes, I campaign avidly about turning three words that are only offensive if viewed alone, and warped for their use, and yes, I see that as a weak stance.

Do I also figure that the years of Civil Rights progress might have altered their opinions? Yes, I do, and therefore, their opinions backs in the late 50s to early 60s really don't matter for a damn to me. He used them to illustrate a point he was making, that's all. It doesn't effect his candidacy now.

regarding the quote that is supposedly from Obama's book. Get real. If you told me that you had read any book two years ago and I posted a single paragraph and asked you whether or not that paragraph was in the book, is anyone hear going to honestly say that they could say one way or the other?

Could Obama's paternal grandfather have written such a paragraph? I suppose so. Does that have ANY bearing on who Barack Obama is or what his views on race are in America? I don't think so, but clearly, there are those here who do.

Interesting that republicans want to make some incredibly intimate connection between Barack Obama and the words of a grandfather he never knew, yet refuse to allow any connection between the current president and his grandfather who was in cahoots with nazi germany.

I guess that if Obama were running for president of Kenya, the ingrained attitudes of his resident grandfather would be of some value to the debate.

am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton's Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners - an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters.

...

can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

was his father around? and he specifically said he was apart of him. the blood of slaves is passed down to his daughters, yet you somehow think nothing from his grandfather was passed down. if he was so absent, why then did he write the letter about sullying the blood with a white woman?

you also are again missing the point. it wasn't about the grandmother being around (he mentioned the black community as well and you cannot say he "grew up" with the black community) more than his grandfather, he used her comments to justify wright's comments. it is the height of hypocrisy to publically condemn your grandmother like that and then wholly ingore your racist grandfather.

You know, that's a good point, really. It seems to mean Obama is prejudiced against his white grandmother who raised him because she is afraid of young black men roaming around acting dangerous, and he'll hold her up to public scorn, but he's not going to mention his black Kenyan grandfather who abandoned him and who is grossly prejudiced against whites.

I think that's a double standard. It's supposed to be okay always to resent whatever whites say, but Obama's supposed to excuse whatever a black says --- that's always just fine, even if it's very extreme, like his grandfather and his pastor's talk.

its interesting that those defending obama here seem so focused on what the grandfather said....when in reality the point of this thread is what obama "failed" to say. it has everything to do with his character, he made it an issue by bringing his grandmother into the political forum in order to defend his racist pastor. he said race is something we cannot ignore, but his defenders are telling us to ignore it and that it is no big deal.

obama could call you guys honkies and you'd probably say it was justified and that it doesn't really affect his candicy for president....

"typical"

Okay, neither I, nor anyone else for that matter, is going through a fucking ten hour long lecture on race and politics. I would rather be beaten to death with a nerf bat. He made his point with a single example, instead of using every possible instance. Big Whoop.

you want to attack his actual issues, go right ahead. Again, I have not once defended those, but these bs threads about his grandmother, his grandfather, what's next, his ancestral tribal chief was once bitter over England taking over everything?

His grandfather is not him, unless you can prove otherwise, and I would seriously like to know just when it will be that he gets the time machine to go back and conceive his father.

he mentioned that his father was a part of him. He did not mention that his paternal grandfather - who he never even met - was a part of him, and he certainly wasn't a part of his experiences with racism in America...which was the topic of the speech.

But Gosh Yurt. I must have missed the announcement from Jimmy where he appointed you as the judge and arbiter for all threads and arguments. Could you link me to that post because it certainly sounds, from your sort of matter of fact - (some might say "pompous" if they didn't know that you were really the blameless super swell guy that I know you to be) - sounding pronouncements as to the results of the argument and your assertive direction to me as to what I should do about that loss.

I am sure such a post from Jimmy must exist so just give me a link to it so that I can get some closure and begin to get used to your new judicial arbitration role here.

As far as her quotes

Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over

MICHELLE OBAMA CALLING AMERICANS IGNORANT

“Because sometimes it’s easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance… That’s America. So the challenge for us is are we ready for change?”

http://mpinkeyes.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/michelle-obama-calls-americans-ignorant/


and she tells her supporters one thing while doing another

"We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we're asking young people to do. Don't go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond and many of our bright stars are going into corporate law or hedge-fund management."

Both are typical tax and spend liberals


if you don't care, why, as a republican, do you feel compelled to attempt to sababtoge the democrat's primary process, especially when you claim you won't even be voting for the republican candidate?

After this whole issue of Barak Obama's Racist Pastor came out, everyone started to point fingers at Barak and say that they cannot believe he would raise his children in that church, and many have talked about the other racists in his life. To that I have to say just a few things. About 5 years ago the Catholic Church came into some major trouble when it came out in the press that they had been moving Priests from church to church in order to hide child molestation that was occuring. It all became too much for the church to keep quiet, and the media grabbed it up like candy.

When certain priests came under fire, the church would move them out of the country to avoid prosecution, and the church, knowing about the child molestation, allowed these priests to continue preaching in church. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been paid out by the church over the past few years to settle just some of these cases out of court, and the problems are no where near over for the church.

Having said that, there are millions of people world-wide who continue to take their families to the Catholic Church, well knowing that it is an organization that allowed these horrible things to happen, and then tried everything in their power to protect the priests who performed these horrible acts. Why do they take their families to the church?; because they don't go because of the priest, they go to worship God, and they are willing to look past all of those horrible things to support the church they believe in.

Having said that, I denounce these people who have called Barak a racist, because he simply is not. Just because his preacher occasionally preached racist comments from the pulpit does not mean that Barak is racist and is raising rasict children. That is simply proposterous.

The point I would like to make is that Barak is religious, elloquent, very intelligent, has continually fought for the underdog throughout his entire career, and is a great person. We need to stop talking about his race, just as we need to stop talking about Clinton's gender. We need to look at the fact that our nation is in economic trouble and we need a person, male or female, black or white, to come in and pick us back up and bring us back to the top again. Am I saying Barak is the answer...no, but I am saying that I feel he is getting improperly flogged on the above issues.

Obama's situation is different. He chose to attend a church with a racist anti-semite as the preacher. He could have chosen to attend a different church in the same city and the same denomination.

No one is asking him to change religions. You're emplying Catholics leave the religion en mass, which is assinine. If I'm not mistaken the Cathloics themselves outed the churches practices. Did Obama stand up and scold this man for his racist views? No, he called him an uncle.

Actually racism is very simple: simple minded people fear things that they are unfamiliar with or do not understand. That's why so many Democrats are racist.

As I expected, you can't even man-up to your insult. Score another one for me.

Adults don't toss out insults to avoid admitting that they lost an argument. Instead thay simply admit when they are wrong or have been bested.

I got a buddy, Josh, who was physically abused growing up. His father who beat him is still "a part" of him, even though obviously Josh is against Josh getting beaten by his dad, and child abuse in general. Same thing here, just cause your parents, or your grandparents, did something that was dickheaded, does not mean that you are bound to do so yourself. Amazing how that works, isn't it, where we actually become our own entity, greater than the sum of our "parts"?


it appears you do not understand the OP point, that is, why did he throw his white grandmother under the bus, so as to justify his pastor, and intentionally leave out his grandfather who also made racist comments....he brought up his kenyan heritage in the speech...yet to you and mfm his kenyan grandfather should be excluded from the topic of race. that is too narrow a view of his speech. and, according to obama, his daughters have "slave blood" in them, so yes, according to obama, the abusive blood would run to him.

i suggest you read his speech, if not the speech, at least the quotations i provide more carefully.

are you both claiming that obama only cares about race in america and no where else? i have a feeling it really doesn't matter to you both as you will find any justification for his pastor and his racism.....and you will denounce those who call them on their racist BS. fact is, if they were white, you both would think very, very different.

obama even brought up his first book in the speech, so fair game to bring in the book. he also talked about the message of taking the race message into the wider world:


Those stories - of survival, and freedom, and hope - became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world. Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal,

his grandfather also made racist remarks in the 50's and 60's and thus relevant to his race speech:


This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up. They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted.

yet you think just because he is kenyan that it excuses his failure to address that racism, NOT only existed among white americans, BUT among black kenyans. that is the broader picture, not the narrow view that you espouse.

you should both carefully read the speech. it is obtuse for you to claim i have an obsession with the speech, given obama's proclamation that RACE is not something we can ignore right now.

I am claiming that he is running for president of the United States and not Kenya. I recommend you read http://www.christiancentury.org/article.lasso?id=4676 the editor's page from The Christian Century, and go back and visit their webpage again later on this week when the April 22nd edition, which I have in print, is published online and read articles entitled "The Wright Context" and "The Rest of the Story" which might give you a broader perspective on the Reverend Wright controversy....but we both know you won't do that because you really don't want to UNDERSTAND Reverend Wright OR Barack Obama, but only denigrate and denounce them. One cannot say, however, that I did not try to enlighten you.

yet you think just because he is kenyan that it excuses his failure to address that racism, NOT only existed among white americans, BUT among black kenyans. that is the broader picture, not the narrow view that you espouse.

when the topic of the speech was racial problems in AMERICA, I really am quite comfortable "narrowing" my view to AMERICA.

you should both carefully read the speech. it is obtuse for you to claim i have an obsession with the speech, given obama's proclamation that RACE is not something we can ignore right now.

I am not obtuse to claim that your obsession with comments from a man who Obama never met and who never has set foot in America are irrelevant to a discussion by Obama of race relations IN AMERICA. We both know why you are obsessed with this, and the answer, sadly enough, is not very pretty.

When the two of us got married, your grandparents weren’t happy with the idea. But they said okay-they probably couldn’t have stopped us anyway, and they eventually came around to the idea that it was the right thing to do. Then Barack’s father-your grandfather Hussein-wrote Gramps this long, nasty letter saying that he didn’t approve of the marriage. He didn’t want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman, he said. Well, you can imagine how Gramps reacted to that. And then there was a problem with your father’s first wife…he had told me they were separated, but it was a village wedding, so there was no legal document that could show a divorce….” [93]

mfm just continues to be intellectually dishonest....he has no proof at all that obama intended to limit his speech to solely racism in america, else why would he talk about taking the message to the wider world? further, his speech was about african black men enduring racism....as such, it is fair game to show that it is NOT only white americans who are racist, but his dear black grandfather. if race is truly important to him, why did he spend so much time defending his reverend and no time defending his grandmother...oh wait, he did later..."typical white person"

fact remains clear that he expressly said his message was for the entire world

because his black grandparent's attitudes have nothing to do with racist attitudes in America.

I would suggest that you have no reason NOT to take Obama's word on what his grandmother said.

You're spinning in circles now. I just gave yu a reason why grandpaps documented racism is applicable to the issue and you just repeat the same shit.

I would suggest that with all the changed stories and outright lies told by Barry, anything he says should be suspect. His grandmum may have been a real sweetie with nothing bad to say about anyone, but at the time it was to his advantage to call her a racist, since she is white.

Intellectually dishonest????? Is that your favorite epithet to for me because you know I am deeply offended when someone questions my honesty? Nice touch. But when I say something that I KNOW deeply offends you, you create THREADSD about it! :fu:

And no PROOF that he intended to limit his speech to America? What a ridiculous statement. He is in the middle of a political campaign to be the president of America, not king of the fucking world. And what you might think is FAIR for him to show does not mean that he needs to get all of his speeches pre-apporved by YOU for "fairness". And the reason he spent more time defending Wright than his grandmother is that Wright said a lot more than his grandmother did.

from his speech:

"These people are a part of me. And they are part of America, this country that I love."

"But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now"

"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through — a part of our union that we have not yet made perfect. And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care or education or the need to find good jobs for every For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division and conflict and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle — as we did in the O.J. trial — or in the wake of tragedy — as we did in the aftermath of Katrina — or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright's sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she's playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we'll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change. "

"But I have asserted a firm conviction — a conviction rooted in my faith in God and my faith in the American people — that, working together, we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice if we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union. "

"For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division and conflict and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle — as we did in the O.J. trial — or in the wake of tragedy — as we did in the aftermath of Katrina — or as fodder for the nightly news.

Yeah...this is a speech that is all about Kenya and the rest of the world.... Hell, he hardly MENTIONS America....It sounds like he should be talking to the fucking United Nations he is so international in his scope! What bullshit.... to suggest that he "expressly said his message was for the entire world" is not just intellectually dishonest, it is just plain dishonest.

Those stories - of survival, and freedom, and hope - became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world.

you are an idiot for attempting to claim he wants to limit his message, his story solely to america. no surprise really, everybody knows you lie, so intellectual dishonesty is not a big leap for you.

the comments from the blog were not offensive and you know it. we disagreed over a point and instead of turning the comments into a debate (which i said in the thread) i opened a thread.

Some too 'obsessed' with what we say
By ROGER SIMON | 4/16/08 11:02 PM EST

PHILADELPHIA – You know a candidate is really feeling the heat when he starts complaining about the kitchen.

You know a candidate is having problems when he starts complaining about the process.

Wednesday night, in a debate here, Barack Obama complained a number of times about the presidential campaign process and how some people spend way too much time “obsessing” about some of the things that he and others have actually said.

They obsess about remarks he admits he “mangled” about people in small towns who, he said, “get bitter” and “cling” to “guns or religion.” People also obsess about his pastor for 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who once said the U.S. government brought on the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks “with its own terrorism.”

“I think what’s important is to make sure that we don’t get so obsessed with gaffes that we lose sight of the fact that this is a defining moment in our history,” Obama said.

He also said: “For us to be obsessed with this – these kinds of errors – I think is a mistake. And that’s not what our campaign has been about.”

If I was asking questions I would have replied "Duh, you are running for Presdient. Why should we not pay atemntion to what you say?"

This guy hates to have any hard questions asked about what he says and what he does

I have to give credit for a former Clintonista asking those questions

But it was funny to see Keith Overbites reaction to the questions asked


Stephanopoulos Quizzes Obama on Relationship to Member of Terrorist Group; Olbermann Enraged


snip

Prefacing the issue under the “general theme of patriotism,” and previous questions about why Obama has, at times, refused to wear an American flag lapel pin, Stephanopoulos noted, “[Ayers] never apologized for [the bombings]. And in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times, saying, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.’” The ABC host pointedly observed that Obama’s campaign has described the relationship with Ayers as “friendly.” Stephanopoulos then asked, “Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?”

[UPDATE, from Brent Baker. The question enraged MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, who charged at the start of his 10 PM EDT live post-debate second edition of Countdown: "The campaign may have seemed dirty. It had nothing on one of the moderators of the debate tonight." He soon elaborated on his anger at Stephanopoulos:

The real story of his debate may not be found where they found the answers, but where one of the moderators found his questions: Sean Hannity of Fox News, and separately a local New York right wing radio host [presumably Steve Malzberg], each insisting during interviews this week with George Stephanopoulos of ABC that he ask Senator Obama about his tenuous past link to 60s and 70s terrorist radical William Ayers. Tonight, Stephanopoulos did that.

Obama’s response included stating that Ayers's actions happened when he was very young and asserted they weren’t relevant. Oddly, he went on to compare a man who was involved in bombings that killed people to his colleague, Republican Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma. Obama stated, “The fact is that I’m also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who during his campaign once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions.”

This is what Barry said

“For Pastor Wright to have given his first sermon after Sept. 11 and to have blamed the United States for the attack, which happened in my city of New York, would have been just intolerable for me,” Clinton said. “And, therefore, I would have not been able to stay in the church.”

Obama once again tried discounting the potential for the controversy to derail his candidacy in the general election.

“You know, the notion that somehow that the American people are going to be distracted once again by comments not made by me, but somebody who is associated with me that I have disowned, I think doesn't give the American people enough credit,” said Obama, who quickly clarified that he disowned the comments, not Wright.

Here's the entire thing in context:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator, two questions. Number one, do you think
Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do? And, number two, if
you get the nomination, what will you do when those sermons are played
on television again and again and again?
OBAMA: You know, George, look, if it's not this, then it would be
something else. I promise you, if Senator Clinton got the nomination,
there will be a whole bunch of video clips about other things.
In a general election, we know that there are going to be all kinds
of attacks launched and leveled. There have been quite a few leveled in
this primary campaign.
And I have confidence in the American people that when you talk to
the American people honestly and directly about what I believe in, what
my plans are on health care, on energy, when they see my track record of
the work that I've done on behalf of people who really need help, I have
absolute confidence that they can rally behind my campaign.
And, you know, the notion that somehow that the American people are
going to be distracted once again by comments not made by me, but
somebody who is associated with me that I have disowned, I think
doesn't give the American people enough credit.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You've disowned him?
OBAMA: The comments, comments that I've disowned. Then that is not
something I... http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/04/democratic_philadelphia_debate.html

As soon as I heard it I thought he was saying that he disowned the person, and so did Steffy. So I think that's what he meant to say, and then Steffy let mim backpeddle. Either that or he's an idiot with respect to the english language.
