It feels good to know that such a compromised person will not be anywhere near the White House.

115. You knew the answer before you asked the question, didn't you?
The dink in question flits from thread to thread, recommending every "Hillary is a poopy head" post, attempting to debunk any positive statement regarding Senator Clinton, and flying into a topic-switching, post-hijacking, hissy fit whenever his deity is questioned. Try what I do, Skittles. Imagine he and his buddies all together in the basement, gleefully engaging in their myopic little circle jerk. It's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

8. here is what he said,
Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”

What is controversial about what he said. If this is all News Max has, wow, Barack will get more votes.

20. Rush Limbaugh's website is all about Obama's pastor, Clintons must take cue from him.
I checked, go to his site, you will feel like puking, but you will see that
yes, its not just that Bill was on Rush's show, but Rush is all over this.

ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELVES CLINTONISTAS??



You aren't real democrats.

62. Why not complain to OP about Newsmax then.
Would you mind if someone started threads with these stories?

Hillary Unmasked

The real Hillary Clinton stood up at the Democratic presidential debate this week: angry, sarcastic, stubborn, secretive, arrogant, mired in the past, victim of the media, and still firmly convinced that she is uniquely entitled to the Democratic Party nomination and the presidency.

That Hillary hasn’t really been on display much since the debacle of her disastrous health care plan and the end of Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial, when she haughtily flaunted her combative personality.

But make no mistake about it — that’s the Hillary Clinton that we’ll see if she somehow manages to steal the Democratic nomination.

Hillary's Nose Is Growing

As Hillary Clinton rises in the polls, her nose grows longer and longer.

---

Hillary's new campaign song is rumored to be "I Am Woman, Hear Me Sniffle."

Behind the Scenes With Hillary

Guarding presidential candidates 24 hours a day, Secret Service agents know better than almost anyone what they are really like. Among Secret Service agents, no protectee evokes more disdain than Hillary Clinton.

Secret Service agents assigned at various points to guarding Hillary during her campaign for the Senate were dismayed to find her two-faced and perpetually angry.

116. You are cherrypicking statements, put the entire text in there. Once you have to start parsing this
stuff your argument is gone. BO has to distance himself totally from this guy and Farrikan - they're toxic to the campaign.

And the argument that "haven't we said the same thing here on DU?" is lovely but we're not running for president, we're not being scrutinized for the most difficult job in our country if not the world. Personally, I may have thought and voiced some of those statements but, if I were Barack, I would have done what Oprah did and get the hell out of that church. That's the issue, that Barack didn't get out when he should have which leads to the question - does he believe this stuff or is he politically immature?

Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 12:08 AM by americanstranger
The Newsmax article does not refer to a tape, just a 'report' by one of their freelancers.

You have a link for a tape of Obama in the church while Wright went off? I'll bet Newsmax would pay you a lot for that, since they don't have one - just a report from a freelancer.

And you're telling other prople to 'pay attention?' Physician, heal thyself.

Now I have to go scrub and get rid of the stench from a Rightard site that so many here are so desperate to believe.

67. Good.... and once the FACTS from that Newsmax article are
translated into real news and disseminated from ABC, CBS, NYT, and all the other outlets, it will be good to hear.

Last I checked Newsmax was still selling "Clinton Body Count" Books and claiming Bill Clinton shot down TWA 800 -- so I know they are RW wackadoodles - but that doesn't mean they don't break some stories that go on to be factual scandals.

Like I said to someone else - if you have a tape of Obama listening to Wright's 'hate speech' (such as it is), Newsmax will probably make you rich. Go for it.

Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 12:29 AM by Forkboy
Yes, the story is out there. Yes, some people are concerned. So how about trying to present those concerns from a Democrat's point of view instead of relying on one of the internet's lamest, most right wing sites to do your dirty work for you? Maybe then people here would actually take you seriously, because right now you and the people defending this shit are nothing more than right wing tools, toting their water like good little soldier ants.

...he was in Miami. Check you facts. We're still waiting for you to honor your pledge of leaving DU until after the primaries, by the way.

Anyone spewing the garbage found on NEWSMAX should be banned from DU forever. Alerted...

had quite a bit of hateful rhetoric in it..... is Obama going to say he didn't see that sermon?

147. She's back in the race in a big way - not winning MS in a big way.
I was wrong - she lost, but I was predicting more like a 52/48 win.... but since she did not win, that is really a moot point.
You never came to my Ohio, Texas thread and congratulated my precise predictions..... so I don't think it's very genuine to trash my one ill prediction.

19. Don't be "bamboozled." Read your smear story from that cesspool carefully.
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 11:41 PM by jefferson_dem
The July 22 sermon doesn't mention anything about hating America as the title indictes. The only reference is to the “white arrogance” for the world’s suffering, especially the oppression of blacks.

Here's the passage ---

***

"In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.

Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”"

***

Some may disagree but it's not hate...in my book.

Try again.

50. Don't you think Hannity is going to trot out the tape this coming week,
after he got Bama on tape saying he never heard that stuff.

Ratings y'all, that slimy slinking slug known as Hannity knows what to offer for Act II. And, you know he has hired temps to go through the tapes with a fine tooth comb.

What did Bama do to piss off Hannity? Are the Pukes really having an argument against who they want to run against?

This is all quite fascinating. :popcorn:

63. If Hannity had a blockbuster he would have used it by now.
They would have had Obama on first Friday night, gotten him to go on the record, then lowered the boom with the tape.

Furthermore, Hannity would have done the Obama interview himself so he could have had the pleasure of catching him in a lie.

Besides - even Newsmax doesn't say there's a tape of this sermon that Obama attended. It just says that one of their freelancers was there and heard what was said.

40. Wow! They do indeed have him on tape. Another lie to explain.
If Obama’s claims are true that he was completely unaware that Wright’s trademark preaching style at the Trinity United Church of Christ has targeted “white” America and Israel, he would have been one of the few people in Chicago to be so uninformed. Wright’s reputation for spewing hate is well known.

In fact, Obama was present in the South Side Chicago church on July 22 last year when Jim Davis, a freelance correspondent for Newsmax, attended services along with Obama.

In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.


Obama does his typical denial, lying and now it all comes down to trying to prove one way or another whether he had ever heard Wright speak this way.

Now Hannity trots out this tape. Oh yeah, you can be sure they have more.

And ugh, that photo behind Obama, Faith, Guiding Voters. WTF!

Here's the speech Obama heard - from your own source:

In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.

The controversy is whether or not it is a right-wing propaganda cesspool or a right-wing propanganda whorehouse. I, myself, see that as a false dichotomy. It is possible to have a whorehouse IN a cesspool.

But keep linking to it. That way the rest of the non-lunatic members of DU know who likes to spend their time in cesspool whorehouses.

134. Care to change your bullshit story....
It's been shown to be untrue.
And I'm sure it REALLY pained you to have to post that bit of crap. :eyes:

135. Here's the PROBLEM. You have "supposed" Dems here at DU quoting NewsMax as a reliable source!!!!
Terry Jefferies, tiny newsman for America, is a RABID REPUKE PROPAGANDA MASTER. But, I guess this FACT will be lost upon the HillBot koolaid drinkers, which I suspect many are actually Repuke plants around here.

So, the REAL question for DUers is, "are we really going to believe what a right wing SMEAR site write about ANY OF OUR DEM CANDIDATES?"

If you are so inclined to believe NewsMax, then I would recommend watching Faux News. I've heard they have similar sources and are "Fair and Balanced."

Jeesh.

136. Right Wing Propaganda.
The people who read that crap won't vote for Obama anyways.
We are suppose to believe this "writer" when he says Obama was there?
Okay I'll say I was in the church too and say Obama wasn't there that day! does that make you people happy!

139. Is this covered anywhere else than on Newsmax?
I don't really take anything coming from Newsmax at face value, and I see from other replies here that I'm not alone.

144. Surely there is no one that believes
in the past 20 years, Obama did not hear a hate sermon. Of course he did. Credible proof will come out, and Obama should not have lied about it. The lie is what will hurt him even more than the pastor, let alone transparency, judgment, change, etc.

150. I've alerted this for being a proven lie and coming from a rightwing source.
Sorry, Napi, but I would have expected better from you. This just isn't good.

158. From all the DU Rule Breaking Hate from the Obama Followers, I'd say the OP hit a nerve.
Guys and gals, get a grip.
Hit alert if you think a poster is breaking the rules, don't go breaking rules to attack him.
Ain't worth it.

160. NEWSMAX IS BUSTED! Obama proves he was in Florida, Kristol retracts...
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/03/kristol_bungles_key_fact_in_an.php


The "journalist" who claims to have seen Obama in church at first tried to argue that Obama had attended the 22 July, 7:30 AM service. Oops -- Rev Wright didn't preach that morning. Now he says that he can't remember what day it was that he saw Obama, or whether it was morning or evening.


But he still "stands by his story". We should continue to take his word for it, and stuff.


:eyes:


You shouldn't have, Napi. You really, really shouldn't have.
