By BRIAN ROSS and AVNI PATEL March 19, 2008 Buried in his eloquent, highly praised speech on America's racial divide, Sen. Barack Obama contradicted more than a year of denials and spin from him and his staff about his knowledge of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial sermons. Similarly, Obama also has only recently given a much fuller accounting of his relationship with indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a longtime friend, who his campaign once described as just one of "thousands of donors." Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay marriage. "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial," Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month. "He has said some things that are considered controversial because he's considered that part of his social gospel; so he was one of the leaders in calling for divestment from South Africa and some other issues like that," Obama said on March 2. His initial reaction to the initial ABC News broadcast of Rev. Wright's sermons denouncing the U.S. was that he had never heard his pastor of 20 years make any comments that were anti-U.S. until the tape was played on air. But yesterday, he told a different story.

A funny thing on the Lou Dobbs show last night. The "question o'the day" was "would you quit your church if your minister cursed the Holy United States from the pulpit". To Lou's surprise - he likes to see close to 100% responding the way he wants them to respond - there were 30% who said "NO", they would NOT quit their church if their Rabbi cursed the Holy United States from the pulpit.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
But yesterday, he told a different story. MSM media tied the tin can on Obamas tail and he cannot get rid of it. Do we see any cans being tied to Clintons...tail...?????
What does that mean?

Like Hayek said, the quickest way to render a word meaningless is to qualify it with "social."
Question Diversity
Well, it meant something to him. And I'd like to understand him better. I understand there is 'code speech'. So, let's all agree we need a decoder ring so we can talk TO each other using the same frame of reference. Just kidding. That would spoil everything.

Oh ye of little wisdom and less of knowledge, have not a clue about anything and not a whit of humor to see what is around you.
As one old man to another...maybe, just maybe, you are right. The time grows short, we'll know sooner than we're ready for.
