Well, see, here's how this works, white people are in a position of power in this nation - so, based on the power structure, yes, it is ok for the poeple who have been oppressed to express resentment over said oppressment, while it's in poor taste for the oppressor to call for more oppression against the oppressed.

If Hillary went to White Supremecy Rallies (or, as we like to call 'em, her campain stops!  ha ha) then, yes, she should be ashamed.  For a preacher at Barack's church to be upset that the blacks in America have been subjigated, suppressed, enslaved, oppressed, basically shat upon, for 400+ years?  Not such a big deal. 

I'm sorry for those who have struggles coming to terms with the fact that some black people in America are upset about the hand they've been dealt, but it is the reality, and no ammount of fussing over them and saying how it's unfair that they're mad about their treatment will change that. 

Best part?  Obama isn't even saying that sort of talk.  Some preacher in his church is.

Here's a funny observation: This has been big action on left wing talk radio, on blogs, on street corners - but all from Democrats - all saying the same thing "Well, the Republicans will use it".  Sure.  After you're done using it.

Say what you want about Obama voters leaving the party in a huff.  Hillary's team intends to leave the party destroyed if she doesn't win.  Just icing in the proof cake that she's unfit to be anything more than dog-catcher.

Screw you, you hippie!

I kid, I kid.  Matt's not a hippie.

It would only be a double standard if both sides were equal, Thom.

I'm ok with the preacher venting his feelings - and I'm not ok with white nuts oppressing minorities.

No double standards.  Balance of Power.

Ah, but did Obama ever say that?

And what's more, look at where this guy's misplaced anger is coming from - he's talking from the point of view of a people that have been treated hideously by this nation. 

So, again:

1) It's not anything that's coming out of Obama's mouth, or that has been expressed by him, or shown in any of his public policies or votes or committies.  I'm sure a lot of people have said crazy things around or near Obama, and Clinton and McCain, but we have to deal with what we've got.  Obviously, Obama is so clean, the best the Hillary campaign can do is try to drag him down by linking him to things other people say and think.

2) The Preacher said some pretty far-out things, but none of them mean anything.  He's not in any sort of position of power.  He's not even influencing his own congreation, much less anyone outside of it.  He's a harmless old coot who says things from the point of view of the oppressed, and as such, the things he says are just hyperbolic at worst.

Waiting for something legit against Obama... waiting... (I think it's going to be a long wait...)
