He delivered a magnificent address today, I believe effectively turning this potential negative into a positive statement about where we need to go with race relations in our nation. <BR/><BR/>I don't agree with his all his policies, but his delivery is masterful. I still think he's most likely our next President.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077080.post-6931848191981861562008-03-18T19:17:00.000-05:002008-03-18T19:17:00.000-05:00There is strong anti-US sentiment on the Left, so ...<I>There is strong anti-US sentiment on the Left, so I don't see Obama losing that much support among the Left.</I><BR/><BR/>Wright's comments are only "anti-US" if you include overt and institutional racism and oppression (which is what Wright condemned in the quotes I've seen) are part of the American Way. I don't think they are, therefore, I don't think his comments are anti-US.<BR/><BR/>Now, some of his comments border on paranoid ("giving" AIDS to black folk, providing drugs to black communities), but given the history in which Wright grew up in, I'm inclined to give him some grace.<BR/><BR/>My biggest objection to his comments is that there was WAYY too much politicking for a particular candidate (Obama) from the pulpit. You can criticize and support policies from the pulpit but you CAN'T endorse candidates, and his comments were an indirect endorsement. That is my main problem with Wright's comments.<BR/><BR/>As to the charges of racism or hatred, well, they just don't hold up to reality - he did NOT say anything derogatory about a race group, he criticized gov't. And he was mostly right on. But we all know that criticizing the gov't is not the same as hating the US. <BR/><BR/>In the context of what he said, it's a flat out ridiculous charge.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077080.post-92161629865644621692008-03-18T12:01:00.000-05:002008-03-18T12:01:00.000-05:00Doctor,Whereas I agree that the Jeremiah Wright ma...Doctor,<BR/><BR/>Whereas I agree that the Jeremiah Wright matter will be a non issue in the primary race, my money is that it will be a non issue in the general election. Yes, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reily and those similarly situated will flog it to death but my position is that these pundits only preach to the choir. I just do not think a undecided voter will think to himself: "The guy's former pastor is a certified nutter so I better vote for Hillary Clinton or John McCain."(as the situation requires.)<BR/><BR/>As for the rest, has it really come to this? The litmus test for patriotism is wearing a flag lapel pin; or covering your heart during the national anthem instead of just singing it. B/c if this is to what public opinion has reduced, this country has deeper problems than I thought.<BR/><BR/>Regards.<BR/><BR/>The Loop Garoo KidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
