What On Earth Can Obama's Agenda Possibly Be?
You know, the man has a website.

and that is the problem about making it a partisan issue. i bait democrats who want to jump into the democrat vs. republican game. but when you do this i can claim that the republicans (Lincoln) saved the country, and if civil rights comes up i can make the justified claim that republicans passed that act too.
And I can point out that conservatives opposed the War of Independence.

Re: October 07 - Obama Long Shot
Way back in October 07 when it didn't appear that Obama had a prayer ...
... and you were wrong about that, too ...
this is what I posted:
And the funny thing is that you're not embarrassed to remind us of it.
Has anyone here taken note of who endorses Obama ...
Yeah. Millions and millions of Americans.

Re: Re-Obama
I disagree with Buz on this issue I just wish it was only that bad.
But folks it is a lot worse than him being Muslim.
He sat for 20 years listening to the Right Reverend Wright spew his hate for whitey.
Evidence?
Give me a break he is a black supremacist, that makes Malcolm X look like a sunday school teacher.
Evidence?
Looking at the fruit.
No, if I had to guess, you are looking at the gibberish that you read in anonymous emails sent by halfwitted racists.
Try looking at the fruit instead.
By their fruits shall ye judge them --- well, go ahead. You say Obama is "a black supremacist, that makes Malcolm X look like a sunday school teacher". What fruit has he borne that make you say that?
Or are you not looking at the fruit, but at the poison that people are dripping at the roots of the tree?

Re: We need to prove that as a nation, we are not this ignorant.
1. I know that in Islam one is considered a Muslim who's father and stepfather were Muslim, i.e. born into Islam.
2. Reliable sources which I've cited in other threads state that he was enrolled in both Muslim and Catholic schools in Indonesia as a Muslim child.
3. I know that if he really converted to Christianity Muslims should not be supporting him as they are doing according to Islamic doctrine as he would be a heretic/apostate from Islam.
4. I know that the church he was going to has had close ties with the Black Muslim/Black supremicy movement in America and the Obama himself highly regarded Muslims like Malcolm X.
5. I know that according to Shari'ia Muslim law a Muslim can justly lie if it is needful for the advancement of Islam and for the Muslim god, Allah.
6. I have watched, listened and read much about the man and it appears that the whole Muslim wrold is for Obama and that when you sort out all of the manipulative wording of his statements, he will be soft on terrorism, undermine the war on terror and will see to it that the advancement of Islam in America will progress, including what's going on in the mosques and schools etc.
Some of the above is what I know to be true and the rest is what I believe to be true.
I'm not seeing any actual justifications there for your crazy delusions and hysteria.

Re: Re-Obama
They aren't taken out of context at all. Obama is very afrocentric, to the point where he deliberately chooses to side with his African side. He even said himself,
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs. It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names. To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists"
Note the past tense.
He also said that he used to snort cocaine, would it be truthful to say that he is a cocaine addict?
So where do you get him saying that he is "very afrocentric"? The book is about him growing up. It is clear from the book, and from what he's said while grown up, that he has moved away from these childish ideas. Sheesh, he spent MLK day (amongst other things) criticizing black Americans for being anti-Semitic, how "afrocentric" is that?
But you want to attack him for what he thought when he was "at the age of 12 or 13". On that basis, one could attack Darwin for being a Creationist.
People grow up.

NJ writes:
There is nothing in the book describing any kind of change of heart.
That's rather easily refuted. He writes:
Obama writes:
I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13 ...
In his book, on the other hand, he does mention his mother's race. Indeed, he refers to it in that passage. It is, therefore, clear that he underwent a "change of heart" since the age of 12 or 13.
He doesn't say, "I am afrocentric," rather, what he writes about is afrocentric.
Do explain.
When you are writing about past events, you have to use past tense.
Yes, and what Obama did when he was 12 or 13 is in the past.
Couple that with what we do know today, his wife, his pastor, and it starts to make sense. I am not saying he is out there rolling with the Black Panthers beating up non-blacks all day long. What I am saying is that he is sympathetic to such causes ...
And unless you can produce evidence for what you're saying, you should be ashamed of yourself. Has he ever said a word that could be interpreted by even the most hysterical of racist bigots as implying in any way whatsoever that he is "symapthetic" to "beating up non-blacks all day long"? No? How about his wife or his pastor, then?
In the meantime, here is a critique I found that expresses the exact same kind of understanding that I came to after reading Dreams:
An interesting example of the attempted substitution of snide innuendo, pitiable self-deception and bizarre illogic for facts.

Re: Anyone but Bush or Bush-lite
I know most conservatives weren't happy with it over his habitual fence riding. I guess they reason that he is a lessor of two evils ...
Yeah, that's McCain's big appeal for conservatives: they heard that they could rent Avarice and Wrath from him at very reasonable prices.
Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the calf seethed in its mother's milk.

Obama
an idiot reviewing Dream From My Father writes:
What does it say about the young Obama that he was well-nigh obsessed with his vain braggart of an absentee father but trivialized his mother’s accomplishments? What does it mean that he himself plainly can’t see that his father comes off in these pages as a world-class jerk and his mother as a woman of admirable self-discipline and quiet achievement?
Obama writes:
I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.
