Welcome to the age of Doublespeak
I believe we are now in the age of George Orwell’s “Doublespeak.” Senator Clinton states a verifiable fact that a certain group of white voters will not vote for Senator Obama. She is then called upon to stop her racist remarks or to stop injecting racism into the election. Senator Obama openly courts and panders to the African-American voting population and successfully collects about 92 % of the Black vote in just about every area of the country. These voters were once staunch supporters of Sen. Clinton. Additionally, he follows a racist, anti-semitic pastor for over twenty years and that is acceptable. The so-called man of God, Pastor Wright is not only allowed to say the most awful things about whites, the government, political figures, etc but is also given a national forum on all of the major networks for three-days running. He was the beloved pastor of Senator Obama and only after the fact does Obama distance himself from these racist rants. None of this is deemed racist in regards to Sen. Obama and all of it is not only tolerated but in many instances defended by the major networks talking heads and the sycophantic followers of Sen. Obama. All of this makes Don Imus seem like Walter Cronkite.

The horse the writer is beating is a dead one, never to be revived again with any meaning.
There are times when some think that a horse (issue)is dead, they get pretty comfortable and certain in their bad deeds and then the unrespected happen, the issue is revived again, but the next time with all the right timing, destroying what they have built and acomplished on a very shaky foundation of inequity and lies, suprising all. But, this will not be the case with Obama and Rev. Wright or anything else that is thrown at Obama.
No doubt the writer is being honest according to the lens that he is seeing things through. His vision however is distorted. His mind is totally closed to any fairness in weighting the possibility of anything being truthful concerning any of the things that Rev. Wright has stated in his sermons and speeches.
Over 30 years of sermons and this is all that the demons can dig up? Rev. Wright is truly a righteous man. Not to mention that he is being slandered as being a racist when not one person can name anything that this man has said that would or could cause him to be a racist. In fact, he is not a racist.
