"antipathy to people who aren't like them "

[BigDaddy44]

Am I the only one reminded of the Reverend Wright? I didn't know he was from a small town in Pennsylvania. Learn something new every day...........

[cali]

1. go read the rude pundit piece just posted and try and learn something

and what does this have to do with Wright aside from your wanting to somehow drag him into this. Fucking pathetic.

[LSparkle]

3. Yep, the Hillbots are dragging "bitter" into every thread, and now Wright too

Pathetic that they REALLY think this truth-telling is going to somehow turn
everything upside down ...

[BigDaddy44]

4. I'm just connecting dots

If anyone has expressed antipathy towards people not like him, its the good Reverend Dr. Wright. Clearly he's a gun-totin', immigrant-hatin' Pennsylvanian. Probably has a still hidden in his basement too.

7. Really?

When did Wright express antipathy to people not like him?

[BigDaddy44]

11. You didn't hear a bit of antipathy in those sermons?

Just a tad? Just a wee bit? You think he was railing against people.... like him???

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. I heard him railing against racists.

So no, he was railing against people who were different then him.

But I'm not sure why you think we should be empathisizing with racists.

:shrug:

[BigDaddy44]

18. It really doesn't matter anyway now, does it?

Clearly the only reason Rev. Wright is holding so closely onto religion is because he is...well...of course.....there's that word again.... bitter.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Of course he's bitter.

Why are you so bitter? I mean besides your candidate losing?

[BigDaddy44]

22. Bitter about what?

He can't afford a swimming pool to go in that million dollar house he's building?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. Angry black people, apparently.

Especially ones who have more money then you, I guess.

[BigDaddy44]

27. I'm not bitter, I'm talking about him

My house HAS a pool :)

9. Damn, you must be in pain..lol...your girl Hilda ain't gonna win the nomination..accept it..and

breathe the free air again..come out of that stagnant, losing swamp you dwell in....come into the light..

lmao

10. no, you're just spewing hateful shit.

And don't think such clumsy stupid spewing won't get rightfully savaged, genius.

[BigDaddy44]

13. Gosh

"spewing hateful shit"?? goodness....you sound... bitter. Do you live in Pennsylvania too?

And "genius"?? you overestimate me. I haven't quite made it into Mensa yet.

Obama sat in the pews for years listening to a guy just like what he described. Its just ironic, thats all.

[cali]

16. I doubt you know anything about Wright beyond the soundbites

played over and over for American idiots. There was an excellent post the other day by, of all people, Lannie Davis, which included a letter sent to him, explaining Wright and Obama's relationship with him, from an AA friend of Lannie's.

And no, I live in Vermont, and I'm not bitter. But stupid always pisses me off.

[BigDaddy44]

17. It appears to me that its irony thats really pissing you off

[cali]

26. nope. I can say without hesitation

it's the stupid and ugly that you posted. Sorry, you're clueless.

[BigDaddy44]

28. One thing I have noticed about some of the Obamaites..

NOOOO sense of humor at ALL. Do NOT mess with their candidate. You are "spewing hateful shit" if you say ANYTHING bad about him. They're strident. They're annnnngry. If you don't agree with them at every turn you are clueless!!!!

How's that kool-aid tasting? (you might want to just sip it slow .... the bad stuff kind of settles to the bottom)

[cali]

30. yeah, your amateur analysis is just so insightful.

You know jackshit about me. And you're wrong. I criticize Obama. Again, I'm just not fond of stupid, little hilldroid.

[BigDaddy44]

31. Clearly you know a lot about me

I am "clueless", "stupid", "little", "ugly" AND a "genius" all in 3 posts!! How could I have accused you of having no sense of humor. My abject apologies. (bowing deeply and humbly to m'lady...)

Oh, and for the record....I'm a Bidenoid. Not that it did him any good.

[cali]

32. I was referring to your posts

not you.

[BigDaddy44]

36. Apology accepted

[sniffa]

21. Starvation works better

[thereismore]

2. Hehe. You're Igged. nt

[QC]

5. Igged? How very twee! n/t

[BigDaddy44]

6. I'd thank him....but I guess he wouldn't see it.....

[CK dexter]

8. Yes, in both cases Obama's empathizing with disparate experiences

It's very much like his response to Wright: he won't disown Wright because he understands where his anger, sometimes justified and sometimes over the line, comes from. In this comment Obama was trying to explain a different world to the urban western middle class, trying to give them some sense of the experience of these voters, and how it affects their votes. He's not condescending to rural voters, just as he did not condescend to Wright.

It's not rocket science. He's saying: we're all angry, we've all been screwed over and, because of it, we've often screwed over each other and ourselves. Until we recognize it, we won't be able to fix it.

12. Rev. Wright is keynoting the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner at the end of the month.

I guess the NAACP is DEAD TO YOU GUYS NOW!

15. ...

[4themind]

19. Maybe there's a diferrence

between something being a cause of antipathy and proclaiming it as being the only cause.

[MethuenProgressive]

23. BO learned his sneer at church. That's hardly Christian.

Sad that they took their children there so often.

[knixphan]

24. I feel antipathy

toward republicans disguising themselves as democrats...

[BigDaddy44]

29. So if i question an Obama statement i'm a Republican now?

Damn..thanks for warning me. I better hop back on that reservation.

[QC]

33. And a blasphemer, too.

Get thee behind me, Satan!

[knixphan]

35. you're not the candidate.

I do have problems with republican-lite candidates.

[BlooInBloo]

34. White folks LOVES them some "reverse racism" bullshit. Perfect white unity fodder.
