So some were here last night saying how great the racist Rev Wright is...

[Mezzo]

I would suggest to you that you are indeed part of the problem. That man openly mocked white people and was divisive. THAT YOU FAIL TO SEE IT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS IN NOVEMBER IS *YOUR* PROBLEM, not Hillary's.

Just sayin'. I just watched the whole thing online. I you all don't see what's wrong, you're blind or ignorant.

Thanks.

[Swamp Rat]

1. I thought Rev. Wright's speech was hilarious and a great opportunity for some to learn

Apparently some did not.

[Mezzo]

5. opportunism should not be confused with opportunity.

That man is racist. I wonder why so many refuse to see it. :shrug:

[Swamp Rat]

18. Red Herring

Anyway, I never stopped 'beating my wife.'

Feel better?

[Mezzo]

52. No it's not...it's the truth, and you know it.

I think it's a shame you beat your wife though.

None of my questions were loaded.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

119. this is a flame bait thread. move on nothing to see here -good bye

n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

16. ...to learn how to pretend hump Lewinsky in front of children? And then sell the DVDs?

How many children were subjected to his hate speech over the years?
How many responsible parents stopped taking their kids to see the Pastor?

[Swamp Rat]

21. Some refuse to learn about African-American culture.

It is as simple as that.

[leftofcool]

29. Humping from the pulpit is part of AA culture?

[Swamp Rat]

33. This epitomizes the concept of 'cherry-picking' to slander and obfuscate.

"Now back to your regularly scheduled programming."

[leftofcool]

39. Answer the question

Is humping from the pulpit part of AA culture?

[Swamp Rat]

40. LOL! ... YES! I did not stop beating my wife!!

:rofl:

[Mezzo]

56. set up the straw man much? LOL.

how pathetic. :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

70. I do not believe you understand the definitions of certain logical fallacies.

[Mezzo]

95. and I am POSITIVE you don't.

Please point to my loaded question, or stop making the suggestions about you wife.

Thanks.

[Swamp Rat]

97. Now you posted a dichotomous directive.

I prefer salmon over herring.

[cliffordu]

103. Fuck me, that's funny.....

Thanks, Swampy...!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

114. Guess what.

I just ate tuna for lunch. :9 :D

[TahitiNut]

108. I admire your patience with our "stuck-on-stupid friends," Swampie.

:pals:

[Swamp Rat]

113. I was just telling you in another thread how I'd love to go to a Rev. Wright sermon right about now

:pals:

"Ayrab isn't a religion." :D

[Mezzo]

126. suuuuuure...along with the loaded question you pulled from your ass

I think the salmon should help you with digestion. teh fail.

[Swamp Rat]

132. Right into the gutter

Like your candidate.

[JoFerret]

140. Posterbaiting

A most posterbaiting thread.

[Carni]

65. Can someone fill me in on this "humping" thing?

Wright did that during a sermon? What was his point to doing that?

[The Doctor.]

86. Not bloody likely.

He probably threw a hip thrust into his already energetic sermon, and now he's some sort of lecherous freak.

That's what I'm guessing.

[roguevalley]

104. amazing how bill can get a blow job multiple times with his wife

down the hallway and wright is the villian. How about answering the question about bill's sleaze and her willingness to stay with a man who would do half the shit he was accused of RIGHT IN HER FACE. Oh right. She loves him. Forgiveness. apparently forgiveness is for some and not for others.

[JoFerret]

141. He has a prurient interest

...in the sexual lives of others.

It's common enough.

[cliffordu]

102. Link, please. Proof or clam up.

[Swamp Rat]

135. No links will be forthcoming.

This thread is just a childish exercise in futility... treat it for what it is. It should have been locked immediately.

[MethuenProgressive]

34. Pretend humping from a church's pulpit is part of Afirican American culture?

Some refuse to learn about African-American culture.
Posted by Swamp Rat
It is as simple as that.

Every. Day. I want this in the headlines every day until the convention.

[Swamp Rat]

37. See post #33

I would love for that to be in the headlines! Please, make it so! :D

[Mezzo]

57. reply 33 is bullshit, and swamp rat knows it.

rev wright is the gift that keeps on giving to the gop.

[Swamp Rat]

75. Prove it.

Prove that I, "know it is bullshit." :D

[Moochy]

77. GOP = Goddess of Peace?

[Mezzo]

96. His candidate shares a ninety five per cent voting record with her, so it must be bad that swamprat

has to assign new designations for the repigs.

[Moochy]

124. Mezzo you are confused

:grouphug:

[Swamp Rat]

134. That's an understatement.

:dunce:

[The Doctor.]

83. Oh... let's see that.

Did Wright err? He threw a little body language into his sermon?

Let's see it. Please.

[roguevalley]

99. openly mocked white people. god.

you are hilarious, mezzo.

[TahitiNut]

109. Sure was uppity of him to do that. He just doesn't know his place.

:puke:

[Medusa]

2. He's kicking ass in the National Press Club address

as I type this. Only an idiot could not understand his speech last night and this speech this morning.

[ellacott]

3. You found what you were looking for

Nothing he would have said would have changed your mind.

He was mocking no one and any fair minded person would scknowledge that.

[Mezzo]

11. Honey, *I* wasn't looking for what he found...

He would not have changed me mind, but it was certainly open enough to hear his speak. Unlike some, I recognize that my candidate and yours share a ninety five per cent voting record.

And if you go back, he didn't even have to do it to make his point. At all. But that didn't stop him from doing it anyway.

[ellacott]

20. Darling, I knew he wouldn't change your mind

I also know that our candidates share a very similar voting record and also basically have the same positions in their campaign. Unlike some, most people already know this.

It doesn't matter at this point what he had to do. Some of you have your mind made up. He will never satisfy many of you.

[Mezzo]

60. He could have satisfied me by STFU. This story was dying down...

Some us REALLY DO have reservations about Obama's electability.

[ellacott]

63. I know, you've made that clear

Nothing he would have said would have satisfied you.

[libnnc]

4. I feel sorry for people who are stuck on stupid

Stupid, ignorant, dumb, thick, dense, idiots who can't find their way out of a paper sack.

I feel sorry for them.

[Mezzo]

7. Me too.

[JoFerret]

25. Wright does not help Obama

He has been unfairly treated and vilified. He is a minister not running for office.
His continuing to be in the news is not helpful to Obama in my view. He has defended his views. He is a complex man who is no monster of unAmerican bigotry. He has had the opportunity yo explain his views.
The r/w will continue to exploit him. The Obama camp focus on him is understandable but unhelpful (to Obama). There are enough holes in his thinking for reasonable people to pick at and object to.

Now I think we need to focus on the actual candidates..

[The Doctor.]

74. Nah, it's just blowing out a candle. Little bit of wind now, no fire later. n/t

[JoFerret]

116. You know....I actually hope so

But time will tell.

[Tom Rinaldo]

6. He did not mock white people

If there was any mocking it was of the concept that there is only one true standard and all alternatives to it are defficient. And yes it was amusing as well as true. Some marching bands for example really do aim for precision while others try to be more jazzy.

[Mezzo]

8. and you are on that crazy train. He mocked BOTH JFK and Johnson...

and what is so puzzling is that he didn't need to, in order to make his point. He NEEDLESSLY mocked those two amazing icons for ALL Americans.

[Cassandra]

32. He mocked regional speech patterns...

including Larchmont lockjaw, and asked why those differences are ok with white society, but the way black people speak is not.
When I was a child, I thought that the way the Kennedy family spoke was peculiar to them, since I had never heard a Boston accent before. After spending six years in and around Boston (or Bahstin) in college and grad school, and teasing a boyfriend that his R's came out like H's, and trying to understand a clerk who asked the name of my dahm (dorm), I guess I should now, according to you, accuse myself of mocking white people. Oy!

[Saturday]

14. He mocked 2 of our white Presidents. nt

[pdxmom]

19. As opposed to all those black and brown presidents we've had?? N/T

[Forkboy]

61. LOL

:rofl:

[ellacott]

2 of our white Presidents, that's rich

and says a lot. All of our Presidents have been white.

It wasn't mocking but I see that you can't understand that.

[Swamp Rat]

27. I've mocked more than 2... it's an American tradition.

Ever heard of Mark Twain?

[Doityourself]

31. Does it bother you when people "mock" Bush? He's white.

[libnnc]

55. Oh noes!!111 I've been mocking Bush for years!!!111

I'm a racist whitey who is racist against whiteys!!

Oh the SHAME!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


They just don't get it, do they?

[Doityourself]

59. Rofl..shame on you!

:rofl:

[fishwax]

88. how dare he mock our presidents -- especially the WHITE ones!

:rofl:

[LSK]

92. dont we mock Bush and Reagan on a daily basis?

:shrug:

[Doityourself]

24. Very true. Just different. Not mocking. Not deficient.

[indimuse]

9. sorry!

Majority of Americans..yes WHITE ones too...Don't see it like you!

15. um...that'd be wrong, esp. if your response is to the OP

on the serious.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. A few days back the DUbamas were telling us no one cared about Wright, and so "STFU"

Today they're starting a zillion threads - oblivious to the damage this nut job zealot has done, and is doing to their candidate.
I want Wright in the headlines every fucking day until the convention.

I don't have a problem with Wright's views, but at some point you need to decide if we want him to be a national celebrity or Barak Obama to be the president, because, friends, you can't have both.

12. Wright is taking race relations back 40 years by his talk. nt

[Mezzo]

17. easily. nt

[Redbear]

23. I think he is moving them into the 21st century

by talking about things that are real, but that nobody wants to talk about.

[rucky]

90. yep. not always a comfortable conversation to have.

and there's never a "good time" to have it.

I want Obama to be a champion - not another martyr. But I'm afraid it's not all up to us.

[rucky]

26. Race relations for the past 40 years = DENIAL

You got your civil rights, now shut up about it.

[Swamp Rat]

35. It's about time someone like Rev. Wright openly confronted this issue.

People are squirming, and that is good. :D

[Doityourself]

28. Only 40 years..wow...sure you don't want to shoot for 200 years?

[Lady-Damai]

36. Oh really.....

In what way?

[fishwax]

91. bullshit

[rucky]

22. so's Mayor Quimby!

who totally mocks the way JFK speaks.

[Goblinmonger]

38. How DARE he openly mock white people

he's pretty damn uppity isn't he?

Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

[Swamp Rat]

42. The audacity!

;) :D

[Mezzo]

129. 'seems to be ok with you guys to mock (an)other race, and I think it's telling.

[Swamp Rat]

131. Your OP says all we need to know about you.

[mmonk]

41. Uhhhmm sure. Thank you for your concern and caring.

[bunnies]

43. Did you freak out this bad when Hillary mocked a BLACK man?

just curious. :shrug:

[rodeodance]

44. stop spreading lies.

[bunnies]

45. lol. Do you need me to dig up the youtube for you rodeo?

Hillary mocked Obama. Obama is black. Hillary mocked a black man.

Oh the HORRORS!!!

[libnnc]

51. here's one

68. LMAO!!!! Did you READ the thread you're in?

"Stop spreading lies" you say, yet you have no problem with the lies in the OP?

[TahitiNut]

110. "lies"??? Are you fucking brain-damaged?? She mocked and sneered at his "hope" theme.

Where the FUCK were YOU????

Jesus! :puke:

[Swamp Rat]

136. In the gutter with Hillary.

Operation Chaos.

[Texas Hill Country]

46. k&r

[mattclearing]

47. When did he openly mock white people?

Quotes, please?

[SeaLyons]

49. He's not done any favors to Obama

[nichomachus]

50. I'll take Rev. Wright over Hillary's right-wing theocratic cult any old day

[Mezzo]

58. right wing theocratic cult? Reeeeeally? Why does OBama share a 95% voting record with her then?

:shrug:

[nichomachus]

87. Non-sequitur, but a good try anyway

You could also say that Obama shares a 95% voting record with her -- so why did she and her surrogates bring up Rev. Wright.

[smiley_glad_hands]

53. I haven't seen the speech.

But I do know that if a black man opens his mouth he's bound to offend a white person somewhere.

69. I have heard many people say that it is not possible for black people to be racist in the US.

Do you agree?

[smiley_glad_hands]

73. Racism goes both ways, but you do a disservice to the converstation by not

accepting that there may be black people who are angry at their government for things that have been going on for 400 years.

[The Doctor.]

66. How funny is this...

What's with all these rabid Clinton "supporters" with their profiles switched off?

Now... Apparently you've been a bit busy Mezzo. Is this really your first post here;
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2828134&mesg_id=2828147

?

I mean, I could be wrong, but it looks like you haven't been here a while, so let me help you out a little. You see, when someone on DU makes claims such as those in the OP, it's generally considered good form to post some quotes or some links to "back up" what you are saying. Not doing so goes a long way toward killing your credibility.

So, tell you what... give us the quotes by Wright that make him 'racist'. You watched the 'whole thing' online, so I'm sure you can zero in on something and share it with us.

Oh, and trying to avoid doing so by claiming that others should do their own research to verify your claims doesn't fly here, just so you know. Otherwise anyone could claim anything all day long and never be 'proven wrong' if the facts can't be found.

So let's have those quotes, shall we?

[Binka]

78. The Celestial Choir Sang And The Heavens Opened The Day After Super Tuesday

And thus Mezzo arrived. He stunk from the very first swing of the bat. Mezzo is below the Mendoza line. :hi: Doc!

81. I want to see the evidence to back up the OP's accusations as well.

Let's if this new DUer has the guts to back them up.

[Yossariant]

67. I'd like to see more of Rev Wright so that I can understand better what he's telling us.

I hope that the media will give him more opportunities.

[Moochy]

71. "openly mocked white people"

Oh call the cops, whitey has been mocked!

Have you read this whole thread? :D

79. It's been Hilarious!

See post 66.

82. I was just posting my response.

"Where's the beef?"

[Moochy]

80. Ugh

It seems that 10 = 9.2 and suddenly joementum is on the Goddess of Peaces' side this morning! I love the smell of propaganda in the morning.

So many new Clinton drones come here to try out their newly encoded hate speech, to use the power words taken from them by evil liberals who cooked up political correctness!

Own your racism, be empowered by it, Post on DU in support of Hillary! Gather on hillaryhub and hannity's website to learn today's encoding scheme!

[Swamp Rat]

84. Some of the traffic is the spill over from the KOS rejects of February.

The welcome mat is already worn and stained.

Some don't seem realize we are well-aware of the rw and Hillary campaign daily spin. :dunce:

[berni_mccoy]

89. WOW! That response deserves it's OWN FINE Post. You Rule in Words as well as Photos!

Google AdWords dont care if you support the eventual democratic nominee. :evilgrin:

111. The thinly-veiled racism is no longer thinly-veiled. Mayella Ewell and her Daddy are DUers.

The stench of overt bigotry among the Hillbots is unmistakable.

[Mezzo]

128. that you don't think it could happen sorta proves my point.

thanks. :)

[Swamp Rat]

133. Nope. Moochy pegged you.

[shayes51]

85. I agree with you.

Prepare for incoming from the Obama side.

93. Did you tell Captain Edward J. Smith there was an Iceberg

after the Titanic sank to?

There's nothing in the OP to 'agree' with. The poster is simply making shit up.

[shayes51]

100. Oh, thanks for setting me straight.

What would I do without you?
:sarcasm:

[The Doctor.]

106. Lowest form of wit...

sarcasm is.

Just pointing out your warning came a little late. Meanwhile, are you saying you condone the ridiculous OP?

[otohara]

94. Like Hillary Mocks Obama Supporters

all the time - she's so divisive.

[anonymous171]

101. Different does not mean deficient = racist

Right :eyes:

[kwassa]

105. Any proof of Wright's racism?

Specific quotes?

I know you don't have them.

[Beregond2]

107. "He openly

mocked white people." Gasp! Horrors! How dare anyone mock members of the master race?! Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how racist and ridiculous you sound?

[Brundle_Fly]

112. wonders who is really the blind...

just saying, if you didn't see the beauty, humor and intelligence in his speech...

you must have "zero" of those things going on for yourself.

here's an idea, "read a book!"

[smalll]

115. How dare you tell someone to "read a book" ...

you white object-centered educationalist! From the cribs to the carrels!

[Jed Dilligan]

117. White people deserve to be mocked

to the extent that they perceive their cultural biases as the true measure of right and wrong.

[Swamp Rat]

137. This OP certainly does.

Until this piece of shit thread is locked.

118. Some everyone was. Racist? Sigh...your a joke!

127. What is Wright running for?

Obama's contrast next to Wright is obvious. The American Voter is more intelligent than you give them credit for.

[shaniqua6392]

130. Rev. Wright is a racist.

Rev. Wright was Obama's pastor for over 20 years. That is all people are going to see. Obama will lose white voters because of Wright. I don't understand why he is ruining Obama.
