Look at the sad faces of the racists that are accused of wanting to gun down Obama…

Take a close look at the three men in the photo above. These men represent people not acknowledged enough but exist in far larger numbers then most realize on the under belly of American society. These pieces of shit meth head racist scumbags are sad excuses for human beings. One of the accused even had the last name of Adolf which is so ironic. Federal authorities are now saying the three men were not real threats on the life of Barack Obama basically because they are to stupid to carry that type of plan out. I feel we should be worried that one day a person or group of white supremacists having a sober day will some how mange to take a shot at Obama.

Check out the video interview of one of the men accused…

I am a white male but totally embarrassed that these men would take pride in being part of the white race. People need to start to wake up that racism is very much a live and well in America. I am afraid even if Obama was elected President while being historic and helping heal our nation it would also give these hate groups fuel to spread their fucked up ideology. We as a people need to recognize this and be honest about it and work to stamp out this disease.

Some resources for the truth on the Reverend Wright “controversy”…

MJ — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:31:36 +0000

It seems “Big media” , Hillary supports, and the right wingers will not let the Reverend Wright controversy (no not “scandal”) die even after Barack Obama’s speech in which he denounced some of Wright’s inflammatory comments (again) and addressed race relations in our country.

I think the main problem besides the inherent racism that is fueling the controversy, most people have not heard the whole sermons of Rev. Wright but only the short clips which are out of context that has been provided by the media

Here is a couple of good videos on illseed found in this post that allows you to hear the whole sermon and puts the Reverend’s comments in perspective…

Now the mainstream media has not been totally irresponsible in covering this story. Ronald Martin, from Anderson Cooper’s 360 blog has been listening to full the sermons and commenting on them.

The full story behind Wright’s “God damn America” sermon

The full story behind Jeremiah Wright’s 9/11 Sermon

Now if only CNN would cover the story like that on the air and not just their blogs.

Let’s not forget about the hypocrisy of the media giving John McCain a pass on the endorsement from Pastor John Hagee who he calls a “spiritual adviser” and also his association with Pastor Rod Parsley. Both are real hate mongers in regards to Catholics, women, African Americans, Muslims and LGBT Americans.

Here is a visual for you on John Hagee that is down right scary…

So what have we leaned now kids? Strong black figures who have opinions are bad and white people who spread hate, well just look the other way.

Now, really can we get back to issues and the candidates themselves now and not the words of their pastors?

Video – Barack Obama’s complete “A More Perfect Union” Speech and my thoughts…

MJ — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:57:14 +0000

This is the best speech I have heard in a long time and can be compared to famous speeches by the likes of John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. I think Obama has answered all the questions about him in regards to the race card, black churches, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He is right on about our shared history of racial problems and that we have made progress but there is more to achieve yet. It is so refreshing to see a true leader who is a statesman and not a mere politician who can speak the truth without preaching to you and wants to unite instead of divide us. Yes, I am contrasting him to George Bush…

This is a very personal speech for Obama and understand he wrote it himself. Hoping teachers will show this speech in their classrooms tomorrow for their students since I believe it will prove to be history making on Obama’s path to the Presidency.
