Reporter saw Obama nod in agreement during Wright hate white america sermon

[Herman Munster]

If you think this story is going away, you are out of your fucking mind.

http://newsmax.com/kessler/Obama_hate_America_sermon/2008/03/16/80870.html

In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.

Read the rules.

70. Maybe it's worser, who know.

[blogslut]

4. newsmax?

When did Hillary supporters decide that newsmax speaks for them?

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

5. A Newsmax reporter....

Duh.

all Newsmax is good for is to wipe your butt with. If it was on paper.

[virtualobserver]

19. not even a real Newsmax reporter

,,,assuming there is such a thing.

Jim Davis, a freelance correspondent for Newsmax

[Drachasor]

24. freelance correspondent for Newsmax? They won't even take the guy on, huh?

I'm sure he has boatloads of integrity.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

29. the word reporter

and Newsmax is a oxymoron.

[faithfulcitizen]

6. Wrong sermon. but thanks AGAIN for posting RW rag. Wonder what their cover says about your gal?

[ristruck]

FOUL BALL

I am not convinced about all of this yet. But please do not post crazy shit from Newsmax. That is a WINGNUT rag. Al Jazera worries more about getting the facts than Newsmax.

[PatGund]

81. That's because Al-Jazera's reporters are trained....

....by the BBC no less. And they're the next best thing to completely a fair and balanced (not in the faux way) media in the Middle East. Why else did you think Bush wanted to bomb their Doha studios?

[marmar]

7. From NEWSMAX.....How desperate can you get?

You should be ashamed to post such bullshit! :rofl: :rofl:

When you say "You are out of your fucking mind", it's pure projection.

49. lol

good one!

[JimGinPA]

9. Looks Like The Bolts In Your Neck Are Getting Looser & Looser The Closer She Gets To Losing...

Must be a real burden.

[jgraz]

46. Not to nitpick, but isn't she getting further and further away from losing?

Given that she lost about 5 weeks ago...

[NOLALady]

10. OMFG

:rofl: Did he move his body seductively as well to keep up with the preachers movements?

[tabatha]

21. Were his eyes open - maybe he was nodding off to sleep.

[Forkboy]

11. Herman, you a right wing waterboy. Get a life.

[Yes We Did]

13. Newsmax? Why don't you just use Faux Noise too.

[polichick]

14. I heard he cried out, "Hallelujah brother!"

:sarcasm:

[Bluebear]

25. ...

OK :spray:

[2rth2pwr]

15. NewsMax or not this story was originally written in Aug 2007

it is not some piling on stuff.

[tammywammy]

16. I would think most posters on DU would agree with this:

"Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”"


:shrug:



And NewsMax, come on. :eyes:

[tabatha]

17. Have you ever heard Obama repeat what Wight said?

You guys are terrified of Obama.

Have you read about the shitty state Iraq is in.

And you're posting about nodding heads.

Grow up!!

[Quixote1818]

18. Alerted. Rules say you can't post right wing sites without a warning. nt

[izzybeans]

20. THey aren't even trying to pretend to be honest anymore

opening fire from under the bridge.

[Swamp Rat]

22. PLOP!

[ecstatic]

23. Every time I see HRC she's nodding about one thing or another

Maybe we should analyze each instance to see if any of the nods took place during a controversial speech. :eyes:

[PerfectSage]

26. I respectfully decline the invitation to join your newsmax hallucenation.

:puke:

[Catherina]

27. I saw Hillary vote in Agreement to murder a million innocent Iraqis

[totodeinhere]

32. Good point.

But on the other hand Rev. Wright hasn't murdered anyone and in fact his community programs have saved the lives of many.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

55. Touche!

[NOLALady]

59. But, did she nod?

If she didn't nod it doesn't count.

[TexanDem]

30. Total BS! even Geraldo confirmed Obama WAS NOT there!

[faithfulcitizen]

34. LOL- even Geraldo! a reporter Herman would believe!

31. After reading actual quotes from Wright as opposed to the filler I'm nodding in agreement too!!!!

Wright's quote at the sermon allegedly attended by Sen. Obama:

Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”

[DerekJ]

33. u f!@#$ earned your self an ignore

And this forum calls it self progressive forums.

[meow mix]

35. i agree. to the void with him forever..

ignored

[yardwork]

36. Repeated spamming of Newsmax "stories" reflects poorly on your candidate.

Reconsider your approach. This advice is kindly meant.

[barack the house]

37. nod nod youp yup we all agree with corrupted media. Do folk not get it just fires up black support.

keep going love it. Let alone Obama is half white entitled to indignation just like you. FIRED UP READY TO GO.

[Voice for Peace]

38. Good Grief.

Maybe he was nodding off.

It's going to go away. It's weird the glee that people have at pursuing this.. it is such a non-issue, in real life. I've talked with a lot of people about this, ie non-Obama fans, and they have been rolling their eyes.. not getting hardons about it.

[Melinda]

39. Same freak hack who claims DU has seized control of Wikipedia

Yep, read it and laugh.

]Newcomers who try to put Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" into practice on sensitive political subjects are often shouted down, or baited into committing rules infractions that lead to a lifetime ban.

Wikipedia members from Democratic Underground and MoveOn.org have the power, the numbers and the seniority. They can win any argument about content, either through mob tactics or a well-placed block by a friendly administrator. The rules and policies form an online minefield, and they derive immense satisfaction from baiting newbies into that minefield.

Editors are recruited from Democratic Underground. The author of the recruiting drive, Ben Burch, is the Webmaster of a site whose motto is "Fighting the Rise of the New Fascism."

Articles about politically delicate subjects such as the war in Iraq, the dismissal of seven U.S. attorneys, and Republican politicians and conservative organizations have been turned into hatchet jobs.

Herman, although you may have registered here 2 years ago, your posting history is recent, and your agenda is now fully transparent. You've jumped the shark, and repeatedly within the last few days, you've violated DU rules by posting articles from and linking to Newsmax. I would encourage others to contact Skinner as I am about to do myself.

[Frank Booth]

44. WHY DO OBAMA SUPPORTERS KEEP KICKING THIS GUY'S POSTS TO THE TOP?????

I realize I'm doing it now, but this is my first and last time. Just ignore these flame-bait posts and they'll drop.

Look, it's obvious that this guy, JD, JL, and a few others are GAMING THIS BOARD. I think they IM each other to post similar topics at the exact same time, and then kick each other's topics. BUT OBAMA SUPPORTERS HELP THEM BY KICKING THE THREADS! Just stop responding to this crap.

[Melinda]

45. No, silently alert and then, as stated in my post, contact Skinner.

Then ignore. ;)

[bhikkhu]

40. I haven't in six years ever put a person on ignore

This guy is close...if he represents the views of his candidate I would burn in repug hell before voting for her. Fortunately I know that is not the case.

ed - sp.

[Jim Sagle]

41. Pssssttttt....Hermie baby, there ain't no NEWS in Newsmax!!!!!!

[democrat2thecore]

43. BS to the MAX ..................nt

[davidthegnome]

47. Generally speaking

I don't see a lot of bull shit in what the man has to say. Of course, he may benefit from some anger management... and his statements go a little far in implicating white people as a whole - using a rather broad brush. But other than that... well.., fuck, we DID slaughter thousands and thousands of innocent people. By we, of course, I mean the general "we", and am not referring to any specific race, gender, Nationality or religion. So he's an outspoken preacher... we could use a few more of those with similar views.

God forbid a man in service to a God he believes in would actually follow that God's teachings. Not that I care for religion one way or another, as an agnostic. I just don't think that one out-spoken preacher should have much effect on the primary.

Maybe Obama nodded in agreement.. but it's likely that I would have done the same.

[Catherina]

48. A God-damn fucking Lie. Obama WAS IN MIAMI THAT MORNING.

But when did facts ever get in your way?

Newsmax: Contrary to Senator Barack Obama’s claim that he never heard his pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. preach hatred of America, Obama was in the pews last July 22 when the minister blamed the “white arrogance” of America’s Caucasian majority for the world’s suffering, especially the oppression of blacks.

[geek tragedy]

50. I expect you'll be publicly apologizing

for believing Newsmax liars over the next nominee of the party.

Either that, or packing up and heading to Free Republic where you belong.

[slinkerwink]

51. Obama wasn't there. Stop spreading lies.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

52. Sheesh

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

53. He "NODDED"? Oh, NOES! nt

[workinclasszero]

54. Newsmax?? WTF is this Freakrepublic??

Damn you Hillbots are really showing your reich wing roots now!:mad:

[Buzz Clik]

64. Seriously. Knowingly posting lies USED to get you banned around here.

Campaigning against Dems and for Pukes USED to get you banned around here.

Now, we welcome this with open arms.

Christ.

[NDambi]

56. Where's my shield...Oh there it is...

[IsItJustMe]

57. Rush, get off the Oxy.

[IsItJustMe]

58. It's sad to see Hillary supports stoop to such low places as to be quoting from Newsmax and using

Rush Limbaugh talking points against a fellow Dem. I got your number Munster.

[here_is_to_hope]

60. NewsMax on DU, its the End of the World...n/t

[zulchzulu]

61. Joe McCarthy would be so proud of you

Thanks for the Newsmax link. Fantastic right-wing site! I hope your boy McCain is doing well.

:puke:

[Buzz Clik]

62. "If you think this story is going away, you are out of your fucking mind." LOL!

Just check out the number of Wright threads initiated by Hillary worshippers at DU.

No, pal, we never thought it would go away. Nor do we think that Hillary will ever stop supporting McCain unless and until SHE is the Dem nominee.

:eyes:

[Slagathor]

63. If you think any real politician is actually religious

you're delusional. They're just faking it to appeal to the masses who remain shackled by ignorant and irrational superstition. Obama, like every other serious politician is probably an atheist. He's probably just pretending to be religious. Nodding his head every now and then to look like he's paying attention. I know that I'd do that. I know that I do that around more conservative relatives just to avoid argument. No educated person could possibly believe in some magical sky man. It's just too damn silly.

[Buzz Clik]

65. Hammer the Alert key for this. Enough of these fucking lies.

[catgirl]

66. Alerted for trolling

[The Ghost]

67. STUPID FUCK

are you going to believe all the RW shit that will get spewed about Hillary if she is the nominee/

NO.

Youre a dumb fucking ass hole.

[youknowmenotdlc]

68. Time for me to place this poster on "Ignore"

Newsmax, indeed.

[powergirl]

69. Why do Clinton supporters at DU continue to site Newsmax "articles" as authority against Obama?

I find it disturbing that the Clinton supporters are resorting to Newsmax as a source of information. I confess, I support Obama. But you can review my posts and I assure you that I would never post a newsmax story that bashes Sen. Clinton (and there have been many BS stories about her on that site). Also, why can't Sen. Clinton just win on her own merits instead of crossing her fingers and hoping that her opponent screws up and has to leave?

That type of campaign strategy will never win an general election. You need to win on your own acts and deeds - not waiting for someone else to solve the problem for you.


:wtf:

[still_one]

71. I tell you what Herman, you think this is helping your candidate, guilt by association

the association of the Clintons have hardly been discussed in this election cycle, and what comes around will go around

and if as you continue the swift boating of Obama, if your candidate, wins the nomination, just wait till they start reviving the sexual affairs of bill clinton, or Hillary's hedge fund activities.

Your candidate will go down in flames

[dionysus]

72. aww, widdle hermies desperate...

74. Kristol Fails To Check His Sources, And So Bungles Key Fact In Anti-Obama Column

The error is in trusting the source without checking.
The truth is that Obama did not attend church on July 22.
He was on his way to campaign in Miami.

[Garbo 2004]

75. Newsmax was founded in 1998 and funded by Scaife. Remember that "right wing conspiracy" Hillary

referred to? Include Newsmax as a part of that from its beginning. Now it's considered/cited as a legit "news" source by some of her supporters? Bizarre.

[lefty from jersey]

76. Reporter saw Obama nod in agreement during Wright hate white america sermon

My wife and I sat in front of the TV on Friday night in horror. We had both been committed Obama supporters. Obama is no longer an option. Racism is racism no matter who is spewing it. We would not vote for Hillary under any circumstances based mostly upon the baggage she brings to the table.

How did we let this happen? I am sick.

[Blue-Jay]

80. Yes you are.

Sick, that is.

Hey! What was your name last time around?

[helderheid]

77. Yea! NEWSMAX!!!

:woohoo:

[Hepburn]

78. Wow....that reporter must have super vision....

...considering the sermon was given in Chicago...and Obama was in Miami and he saw him nod in agreement.

Welcome to my ignore list...you are what you support. In this case, you support lying RW asshole bullshit.

[PatGund]

79. And this just in....

Sen. Obama cousins neighbors best friends uncle-in-law's dog left a poop on the lawn that looks like a "Black Power" salute.

82. Jim Davis, a freelance correspondent from NEWSMAX

so this is your standards of journalism.

Take your piece of shit witch hunt elsewhere.

[Cheap_Trick]

83. a reporter said he saw Hillary bite the head off of a live baby

well, that's what he said he saw. YOU are out of your fucking mind.

[LowerManhattanite]

84. Yet another bottom-feeder...

...caught in a trap of lies.

Smear n' run, too. Classy.
