9. Problem is... she's right.

[Johnny__Motown]

14. No, the problem is you drink the Kool-aid. Sen Obama has held elected office longer than she has

and when Laura & Barbara Bush both go out on tour telling everyone that First Lady Experience does not count and that anyone who tells you it does is delusional........


Well I think many undecided voters will turn away from Hillary.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

3. I wish Obama would just explain Wright's positions.

When explained, Wright makes some very valid points.

[sueragingroz]

6. That would be the smart thing to do

that would be the thing that would heal race tensions in the US.

If Obama cared about that, he'd do it... but right now those tensions work to his advantage.

Sorry guys- he's a politician.

[rodeodance]

5. obamafolk here on DU think this is behind him. NOPE

[Double T]

8. Democrats should ALWAYS conduct their campaigns on the basis of what they think

the Republicans will say about them. And they should always choose candidates on the basis of what they think Republicans will say about them.

:sarcasm:

[sueragingroz]

10. In this day and age - YES!

Because we all know what happened to Kerry and if we don't learn the lessons of 2004 now, we are doomed to repeat them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. Do you seriously think there is anyone on earth who can't be swiftboated?

If we choose candidates based on that kind of fear, we could never have a candidate who:

-- ever got bad grades in school
-- ever failed a bar or other professional exam the first time
-- ever had any kind of relationship, however remote, with anyone who ever committed a crime
-- ever belonged to any organization that had a leader who expressed controversial views
-- does not go to a Christian church
-- ever was a party to a lawsuit
-- ever got involved in a bad business deal
-- has or had a spokesperson who said something controversial
-- did not serve in the military
-- did serve in the military but was never seriously injured in combat
-- ever had an intimate relationship with someone they weren't married to
-- ever did anything that could be construed as in any way unwise
-- is not married (someone might think they're gay)
-- ever did something immature as a teenager
-- ever shows emotion in public
-- does not show enough emotion in public

... and on and on. In other words, anyone who has led a normal life and made normal mistakes.

Kerry's problem was not that he was imperfect. It was that he did not respond immediately and vehemently to the slander. But slander will always occur because that's what they do. The crucial thing is how to react to it -- with strength. Panicking at the thought of what the 527s might do is just stupid and weak.

11. obama can be the NEWEST MEMBER of the Eliot Spitzer HYPOCRITE Club.

Don't YOU just love that phony accent?

[loveangelc]

13. lol i did notice that...

[kwenu]

19. You have to support Hillary to be in Eliot Spitzer's club.

[loveangelc]

12. I don't see this is "damning" we already know he is his pastor and the one who introduced him

to Christ....

Nothing in the video is particularly shocking....

[jefferson_dem]

18. I'll bet that's even something Obama would say now...

coupled with the qualification that he steadfastly rejects some of the Reverend's past incendiary comments.

[Saturday]

15. "Listens to my wife complain about me"?

Barack and Michelle sound like a George Burns/Gracie Allen act.

[jefferson_dem]

16. That's it?

So he says Wright is his pastor, a friend, and great leader. ... Wow.

If this is all they have...I look forward to you helping us educate the idiots out there, telling them how stupid this is.

[kwenu]

17. Damning video and coverage of McCain endorsing John Hagee that will be used in 527 ads against him.

Get a life Herman.

[Quixote1818]

20. This is why McCain won't touch the Obama thing and why it will be a non-issue

this fall. McCain has a lot more to lose with Catholics (huge voting block) than Obama has to lose by being a Christian.

[LisaL]

22. McCain doesn't have to.

527s will do it for him.

[Quixote1818]

31. Just as 527's will say McCain backs Obama on the issue. nt

[PerfectSage]

21. Now here's a damning video that the 527's will use to prove Hillary is a bad egg.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKNmqS4nSYY&feature=related

[Upton]

23. Sorry, but I didn't see anything "damning" on that video

everyone knows how Obama feels about Rev. Wright, this is the man who led him to Jesus Christ. Something doesn't seem right to me, particularly when you see others reveling in Obama's discomfort.

[democrattotheend]

26. What's so damning about that?

He doesn't say anything in this video that he hasn't said in the past few days. He has never denied being close with his pastor. I don't see what the big deal is with this video.

[ericgtr]

27. From who exactly, certainly not McCain

For the record, he's put it to rest. Maybe you should try and let go too, at this point the Hillary klan is really reaching.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ed1Tb-vrEww

[Mooney]

29. You think that's bad?

You should see this:

[BenDavid]

30. Thanks Herman, and again we find obama caught once again in

a lie and this time the blame cannot be directed at the hrc campaign. Look in the damn mirror obama and take a damn hard look and you will see coming back at you the lie you told with your surrogates and a few in the whoremedia in january and before south carolina that the clintons were playing the race card against you.Yes obama you played the race card and you blamed Hillary Clinton, and now the lie is coming back at you.....

What is that smell? damn! it comes from the obama camp. It is either baked ass or burnt toast......oh and another thing open that shirt and maybe you will see the damn big hole in your own soul, BROTHER.

[JorgeTheGood]

32. it's almost certain now ...

the super D's will go with Hillary.

They won't be willing to take a chance on Obama. He's one surprise video away from being front row, center court, at one of Wright's hate-fests. They simply won't be willing to take a chance on Obama telling the truth when he says that over 20 years he has never heard Wright talk like that. Sure thing BO.

[jackson_dem]

33. Wright will be Obama's effective running mind in the eyes of voters after the rethugs are done

[anonymous171]

35. How do gas prices and the Iraq war fit into this?

Again, this isn't 2004. Superficial shit isn't going to work as well.

[jackson_dem]

41. It is quite revealing the ones think this gravitate to Obama

Those who know what we are up against are behind Clinton.

[anonymous171]

43. Those who are afraid go for Clinton.

They also went to Bush in 04 because they were afraid of Gay Terrorists. When you are afraid you gravitate towards known entity's who promise stability or a return to a better time and place (90's.)

[jackson_dem]

47. No, those who realize what we face recognize what we need

Clinton fits the bill much better than Obama, whose electability has nosedived.

[jefferson_dem]

36. Rethugs are done? You've been harping on this for several days now...

What's your excuse?

[jackson_dem]

42. "after the rethugs are done" means after they are done swiftboating him

You know, the other party goes after the opposing candidate in the general as Thomas Jefferson discovered in the first real election. Obama is immune to everything that has happened since then?

[LulaMay]

34. combined with video of Wright saying "God Damn America". It couldn't be worse.

It is most unfortunate, and I wonder why the media has been sitting on it for so long.

[JAbuchan08]

37. Why don't Hillary supporters just create these McCain ads themselves?

they never seem to tire of promoting them.

[CreekDog]

38. Obama both praised Wright's good words and denounced his bad ones

So I guess it's good that he didn't denounce the man altogether.

[Oilwellian]

39. You people have lost your fucking minds

Good grief. You really need to step away from your computers for a little while. You have no idea what FREAKS you've become. This is getting ridiculous.

I can provide you with videos of Hillary thanking Karl Rove, endorsing John McCain, praising Walmart at the same time they were crushing attempts to unionize and using slave labor to stock Walmart shelves, repeating Bush & Cheney's words to the T and warmongering against Iran; insulting Gandhi and referring to him as a gas station owner in St. Louis; reading words in her book about how she first reacted when she learned Frisky Bill was fucking an intern with a cigar..."I gulped for air, I couldn't breath and started crying." Shall I go on??

Yet you think a video of Obama introducing his pastor in church is going to be the end of him and used endlessly against him in the general election? Someone needs to call the short bus and escort you people to the fucking LOONY HOUSE. You have totally lost your minds.

45. K and R this post

Nice work.

[cooolandrew]

40. Here is the memo Barack has majority support in America and is our next president.Take care.
