Auschwitz blunder. Can Obama make it through a WEEK without a gaffe???
This is the type thing that makes people very wary of voting for him. He makes too many mistakes.

He is going to make it easy for the GOP. Hillary, on the other hand, would beat McCain even with all her issues.

4. You keep me laughing! It was a death camp. His relative was there.
The Bosnia story was a fabrication. This is just a matter of names. A death camp is a death camp. One is as much an atrocity as another.

34. A lot of the dipshits and halfwits Hillary has posting here don't understand
the difference between a lie and the truth, the travesty of the Tuzla lie and the horror that the death camps were in reality.

15. What intolerance?
I put it into historical perspective. A witness who miss-represents events, willfully or not, as part of a central claim is much more problematic that someone who relays a story that is best peripheral to the claim. Unless Obama had no relative who served in WWI--no one who experienced the horrors of that war--than his mistake is forgivable. He did not claim that he himself liberated Auschwitz, or a concentration camp, or suggested that he hid in the attic with shell-shock. In his speech, he claims this was a story relayed to him, not part of his primary experiences.

10. Will He be Criticized
Will he be criticized as much as Hillary Clinton for his gaffe? A number of people with a grasp of that history knew he had made a mistake the moment he had said what he said.

referring to the assasination of a a dem icon as reason for her highness to continue her futile grab for the nomination, you either have a lot of gall or you're incredibly blind to be bringing up Obama's minor gaffe of confusing Buchenwald for Auschwitz.

Hilly's lies and gaffes extend to Tuzla/sniper fire, lying about the so-called popular vote, etc. Grab a clue.

You inadvertently make a good point. The media can blow up anything into a story if they want. This is such a non-story, and still they give it time.

In fact, they gave more time to discussing which death camp Obama's uncle liberated than they did to which death camp Prescott Bush financed.

Edited on Wed May-28-08 07:57 AM by barack the house
If you were the nominee and Barack was second in what was declared a delegate race, would you find it acceptable for him to be put 1st on the ticket. NO course not. There is no sexism in this story people object to what would potentially be an injustice. It's a delegate race so small states count for something, those are the terms and conditions which Sen. Obama has now won.

27. *PLONK*
Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's kill file such that the poster's future postings are completely ignored. It was first used in 1989 and by 1994 was a commonly used term on Usenet regarding kill file additions.

The word is an example of onomatopoeia, intended to humorously represent the supposed sound of the user hitting the kill file. It is also sometimes given as an acronym standing for Please Log Off, Net Kook, though this is likely a backronym. Other used expressions are "put lamer on killfile" <2> and Please Leave Our Newsgroup: Killfile!

It is also used as a verb: "I plonked that idiot Tom". As a public repudiation of the plonked poster, it is appended to the end of one's reply (or may constitute the entire reply).

29. He doesn't know that much about the white side of his family
How can he be expected to know the details about a family that he has admittedly pushed aside? I don't fault him for embracing his self identity the way he did--society saw him as a black man and that is the was he was treated. But he should be cut some slack for his lack of remembering family stories that are a very distant hazy memory to him.

ludicrous in itself but some must be buying it. Other than the gaffe it is a relevant remark.

36. Here is the difference: his uncle DID enter and free those in a concentration camp; Obama
said the wrong one.

Hillary LIED about an ENTIRE event and continued to lie when there was video proof. Also, Obama clarified the camp within about 2 hours.

Politicians never do things like that.

NEVER!

I'm already weary! It's way more important that he mixed up two names of death camps than that he, lets say, knows the difference between Sunni and Shiites.
