The more we learn, the less we like:
Barack Obama had been a presidential candidate for more than a year before he outright repudiated his long-time pastor for racially charged, anti-U.S. sermons. But when talk show host Don Imus was in hot water 11 months ago for racially insensitive comments, Obama was the first candidate to call for his firing.
When asked about the different responses to his pastor and to Imus, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor questioned the premise of the comparison and defended Obama’s response in each case.
“He spoke out both times, so it’s entirely consistent,” he told FOXNews.com Tuesday.
Obama’s people must think we’re all idiots – or, knowing that for now only the lefties matter (ie, for the nomination) they realise that idiocy will go over well with their core supporters, and they figure the rest of us will forget this stuff by September. “Spoke out both times” doesn’t cut it, Vietor…he called for Imus to be fired for a poorly crafted joke…Wright goes on endless, racist, anti-American rants and Obama de-facto says he’s just a bit out there from time to time…
hyp·o·crite – noun – 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
Or, failing that, just a picture of Obama will do…

Macker, you missed the memo… people are over the “Hussein” part of Barack’s name. That is so last week. The righties are onto his pastor now.
By the way… my middle name is Anthony. Does that mean that I support the mafia????
I don’t give a rat’s a** what you think Joe, I’m not a member of the MSM and never will be.
Besides…whether you like it or not, since Obama’s father was a Muslim, he is considered as such by the Islamofascists, and an apostate at that.
If Obama is a Muslim, why is everyone so upset about his CATHOLIC church?
So he’s a Muslim who follows every word his Christian pastor of 20 YEARS tells him. I also heard he eats the heads off of bats…
Sounds like Macker needs to get up to speed. Obama isn’t a Muslim and his middle name doesn’t matter.
Of course those two things are still very important and do matter if you are a simple-minded fool that is hiding under your bed from the big bad Islamofascist Muslim Extremist Terrorists.
So is this the straw poll, that liberals can get sarcastic and rub Obama’s muslim past into his “Christian” present and overcome the truth? That the “Christian” presence Obama portrays in reality is just a cover for racist ideology?
Only the three stooges would try that moronic approach…….taint anyone else dumb enough to try……
Obama’s a liar…a hypocrite …. you can’t trust him … reckon these leftists will ever see it? Nah, cuz they’re insane I tell ya…insane, insane.
Reality to a leftist will always be what “they” deem it…ya can’t tell ’em anything, there’s no use in even tryin’.

Jeremiah,
When you talk about the leftist inability to grasp ‘reality’ in a thread out hypocrisy I can’t help but laugh.
Your comments in the thread “The Race Chickens Come Home to Roost” leave you no room to argue about reality.

lol!! you funny child
you say obama is a muslim attending a christian church, and then tell us about reality
what a stooge!!
HAHAAA
your lame
Jeremiah sounds like a 40 year old man that’s been locked in his mother’s basement for the last 25 years with a Bible a candle and a jar of vaseline.
A classic case of sexual and philosphical frustration turned psychotic.
[cocks head to the side and crosses big blue eyes]
Sad.
Js… Do you understand sarcasm? I would have thought this would have given it away.. “I also heard he eats the heads off of bats…” but I guess not. Next time I’ll add (Sarcasm) after my posts when I’m using it.
Ever heard of the Constitution? You should check it out sometime. I think Robertson is a deluded fool and don’t support anything he says. But thank goodness the Constitution keeps leftists from determining who is “allowed” free speech.
20 years of racist and hateful screed. Sitting and absorbing and never raising a concern. Then toss hat in ring, get caught by some videos of what is going on in that church and suddenly he develops a conscience. Toss pastor under bus. Pretend shock and outrage. Give passionate speech which skirts the main issue. Still no answer to the 20 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars of enabling money to an organization that pledges allegiance to blacks only and Africa. Maybe some of that has something to do with it. Of course from the Republican perspective we are just watching a horse race and the Obama horse is losing more every day he doesn’t fix this problem he has. This is part of the vetting process. He ain’t vetting too well. Next up…Rezko. Obama’s already done the two-step on that once and the worst parts of that relationship haven’t even come out yet at the trial. All you leftist apologists and excuse-makers can try to “explain” away Obama’s troubles but it isn’t working. This pleases Hillary and she doesn’t have to say a word. Keep explaining. Keep calling those who see through Obama’s scam names. Keep your perspective of condescension. It doesn’t matter. Obama has blown it and does not seem too interested in coming clean. The American voter will make him a household word like Michael Dukakis.
The USEFUL IDIOTS are bending over backwards to defend their guy that is being held to the “standards” they uphold for non-liberal types.
Amazing how these hypocrites can actually say these arguments with a straight face knowing that if the situation were reversed, their so-called “understanding”, “big deals” and “so whats” would not be included in their criticisms and attacks.
But we are talking about mindless USEFUL IDIOTS that Comrade Stalin, Chairman Mao and Herr Goebbels would have loved to have in their followers.
Good grief.
Next up?Rezko. Obama’s already done the two-step on that once and the worst parts of that relationship haven?t even come out yet at the trial.
I’ve said this before… Thanks for proving the whole “innocent until proven guilty” theory.
Please tell me what Obama has been convicted of. If something comes out of this trial of Rezko that Obama did something illegal, then let the daggers fly. Until then, why do you and others on this site spout out that Obama is tied to this corrupt individual? Now… if nothing comes out of this saying that Obama did anything wrong, are you going to provide a full apology?
TiredofLib, you kill me everytime you use your USEFUL IDIOT comment. You are some kinda funny.
Diane wants to whine about when liberals supposedly speak truth to power,or in the liberal sense,blame America for 9/11,their post’s get deleted.
Try speaking at some of the more prestigious college’s and watch liberals rush the stage and assault the people that they don’t agree with.Try speaking your opinion and watch the liberals throw pies at you or stand up in mass and start yelling like a bunch of idiots because,you know, they support free speech so much.
Try posting on some of the top liberal web sites like
the Kos, Huffington,and DD and if you are not in their Berkeley Bubble,you will be deleted in a heart beat.
Try going to a military recruitment station and watch the super intelligent liberals that value “free speech” and the “rights of others” chain themselves to the doors and physically restrain people who want to go in talk to a Soldier about serving their country,
while the “intelligent” liberals outside call them war
criminals,mass murderers,and child predators.
Diane needs to clean up her own backyard before
she starts to whine about somebody else’s.
The fact that mistakes have been made and the history of racism is not the question or the problem
here.These issues have and are being addressed in this country in far superior ways than anywhere else
in the world.That is why people of all genders and races or killing themselves to get to this country.
If liberals are going to excuse racism and bigotry because of past mistakes,than everyone of every
race has the right to judge people based on the color
of their skin, religion,or gender.Wrongs have been done to everyone at some time or another in our history.
With this stupid liberal logic I guess our Jewish brothers and sisters will be able to enact all kinds of
racist programs,establishments,and doctrines.
Diane wants to use West to establish some kind of
moral equivalence to why liberals excuse racism when it benefits them.
She might as well quote Farrakhan and Sharpton too.
Dr. King would never have agreed or supported the
bigotry and idiotic propaganda that Wright puts forth
and Obama will not cut ties with.
Referring to America as the KKK of America is wrong and divisive.
Stating “not God Bless America,God Dam# America” is wrong and divisive.
Saying “the government gives them drugs,” and
claiming that the government “put aids into the
black community” with no evidence to back any of
this up is wrong and divisive.
Saying we brought on 9/11 because we have supported Israel against terrorist groups like Hamas
and we used the bomb to end WWll is wrong and
divisive.
When your theology is “God which participates in the destruction of the White Enemy” you are wrong
and divisive.
When you tell your congregation that”white folks greed runs a world in need.”you are wrong and
divisive.
This bigotry and propaganda does not open up dialog in race relations,it stirs hate and resentment.
You liberals can defend it and Obama’s support for
it all you want,and continue to show the world how hypocritical and blinded by your ideology you are.
To judge people and condemn them because of the
color of their skin or gender is wrong period.
You don’t get a pass or the right to be a bigot and
spread hatred because of sins in the past.
Any honest and ethical person knows this.
Wow Baxter has a white man ever done anything for which in your view he could be held responsible? Must be nice to be brimmin’ wit so much piety!
Why I think I’ve been converted Baxter please marry me and keep me pregnant for the bulk of the next twenty years so I can close the gap beyween us and the brown races!
Mark,
Your hatred of Senator Barack Obama is getting rather tiresome.
Would you mind disucssing his policies for a while? Your right wing buddies on here are getting pretty vicious with their attacks on him based on his church. And I don’t think that is appropriate.
” To judge people and condemn them because of the
color of their skin or gender is wrong period.

Yes, but any intelligent person also knows these are not just sins in the past. They are still going on in society. To try and take a moral stance that racism has been eliminated from the US is ridiculous.
You learn from your past, apologize for it if need be and work towards the future so you don’t make the same mistakes. Acknowledging that the past happened is not excusing it. If anything it’s owning up to it in an attempt to change the path your on.
I am a white man, i took no real offense with what wright said because I understand why he said it. However I also understand how people can take offense to his statements. I do not pretend to have any moral superiority over this issue. The simple fact that Obama did not throw a man he considers family ‘under the bus’ despite the controversy has never occured before in politics. If you do not think he is capable of bringing about change, guess what, he just did. By saying I do not agree with what the man said, but that does not mean I do not consider him a close friend shows his true character. This resonated with me personally where I have been in some sticky situations with friends who have said some wrong things to people. Did I turn and bail, no, I stood my ground and fought along side my friends. Not because I agreed with what they said, but because they were my friends and I knew it was a momentary lapse of reason or fustration. Obama did this in the political arena which takes a lot more than being able to take a couple punches.
So keep saying 20 years, yell it, scream it, keep playing in on tv. Eventually people will see the type of character it took to stare the media in the face and say NO, he’s my friend. This is who I am, I’m not hiding it, like me or hate me, that is for you to decide but I’m done walking on egg shells for your vote.

Js… Do you understand sarcasm?
—————–
This must be your moment of utopia. You actually think…thats a concept you really dont show us often. Beyond that, does your stooge sized brain actually consider that I am way far beyond where you are at with this question?
I dont think so. Not with that question.
LoL. Just keep stooging though. Affirm the fact that you walk in the flesh, we appreciate it so much. thxnowbyseeyal8r
I’m trying to decide what I find funnier… js’s “stooge” comments or TiredofLib’s “USEFUL IDIOT” comments.
Really js. Try an make a point once in a while.
SAR, that is what they don’t understand. Apparently, according to them, you can not be friends with nor can you have any family member where you disagree with something they say. That is just beyond their reasoning.
Obama’s carefully protected veneer is peeling off.
As a State Senator, he remained loyal to the corrupt Chicago/Cook County Democrat machine. For a man who wants to be viewed as a ‘reformer’, where was Obama when Illinois needed sombody to fight the corruption?
Why, he was rubbing elbows with shady characters such as Tony Rezko, and supporting corrupt, incompetent pols such as Todd Stroger and Dorothy Tillman.
As a State Senator, where was Obama when the first signs of a financial disaster with the education pensions loomed? Was this ‘reformer’ taking the lead to change the system that would nearly bankrupt Illinois? Where was Obama?
Why he was taking campaign contributions from the teacher’s and other unions that didn’t want any reform.
As a US Senator, Obama promised by-partisanship, yet where was he when it came time to vote on SCOTUS nominee Alito?
Why, Obama was out in front of a filibuster attempt with nothing to support it but vague accusations of ‘not being sensitive enough’ to minorities; with no proof whatsoever except the ACLU talking points.
Most candidates can point to legislation they created and got passed, or to executive decisions they made to demonstrate major accomplishments, but where was Obama?
Why in the State Senate chambers… voting ‘Present’ or on ‘Oprah’ hawking his books.
Js,
I’m just curious, if your so far beyond, why the need to call me a stooge or lame for something which you knew was sarcasm…
Why use my sarcasm in an attempt to prove i was disconnected with reality…
Why not just look down and snicker from your computer and deem it to foolish to comment…
Why not come back with some clever wit instead of personal insults…
Oh wait…

Because its true.
SAR and Joe, 2 of the 3 stooges.
Reality doesnt change so you boys can act all grown up. Its true, you are naturals, and thats it in a nut shell. Some people people never grow up. You are living proof of that fact.
and dont try to lecture me on your failures, when you two make statements like
“If Obama is a Muslim, why is everyone so upset about his CATHOLIC church?”
and
“So he’s a Muslim who follows every word his Christian pastor of 20 YEARS tells him. I also heard he eats the heads off of bats…”
Its really beyond use debating real issues with you. Go back to Jr High, thats where you two belong, not here with adults.
“Because its true.”
Excellent response. I think I might have struck a nerve. Js, both statements were sarcastic ones poking fun at how ridiculous people are getting when trying to shed doubt about Obama.
You accuse us of being juvenile though I have not personally attacked you. You call us names which is reminiscent of a teenager who cannot win an argument. Any minute now I really am expecting a ‘your momma’ joke.
Hey Joe, Hi-5 for being a ‘Stooge’ man. I always thought Charlie Chaplin was the man.
