Funny how the far right never said SQUAT when Pat Robertson, and Jerry Fallwell spew hate sermons.<br><br>I totally don't agree with Wright but I think he's in the same "nut-boat" full of religious quacks as the Fallwells, Oral Roberts, and Robertsons !<br><br>Hallelujah !! brothers !! <br><br>David (OFI)

Okay, I am willing to say it now. Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are nutbars who never have nor ever will express the thoughts and beliefs of this conservative. I denounce and distance myself from each and every bite of hatred and vitriol that these weiners have ever said in the name of conservatism. I will not attend their church nor go along with their narrow minded views. <br><br>
Shoot, I go and post to a funny post which shows several links of bloggers using the "Throw grandma under the Bus" and by the time I reply (I'm watching Red Sox Classics) the post is gone.<br><br>Well here it is. I hate to waste my words.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>How can I nail Mattmac112 or any of the other sock puppets here on that? MattMac112 could be the very first person who eloquently described Obama's speech today as "Obama throws Grandma under the Bus". Then all these bloggers plugged into the network picked up on this hilarious depiction of Obama actually throwing his old white grandmother under a bus and the cat is out of the bag.<br><br>Can the Mattmac112 that we have here think for himself and not copy and paste the wit and wisdom he finds from somewhere else or is he the origin? How do we know? <br><br>Thirty years from now we will know one thing. This speech will be known as the Obama Perfect Union Speech or it will be known as the throw granny under the bus speech. If the latter our Mattmac112 might be the one who coined the title.<br><br>Not.<br><br><br>
<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Okay, so there. I suppose you could go read any number of blogs for reaction to the speech and ignore the spirit and the words themselves and be perfectly fine with it because it conforms to the viewpoint you chose beforehand. There are plenty of places to go, all just falling over themselves to determine your interpretation for you.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Hmmm .. I watched the speech live .. had a printed copy of the speech. I followed along as I listened and watched. Wrote my comments and reactions in the margins ... and when he threw his Grandma under the bus, I wrote "Damn, he threw Grandmama under the bus." <br><br><br><br>So, why don'cha dial your Obama man-crush defensiveness back just a tad.<br><br>Among other thoughts I jotted down during the speech today:<br><br>*Obama's speech was disappointing. <br><br>*Contradicted himself. Over the weekend said he wasn't aware of any controversial statements. Today admits he was. <br><br>*Never had a pastor come close to saying the hateful words similar to Rev. Wright's words (this is when Obama tried to link Wright's controversial remarks to those of "your pastors, priests or rabbis.") <br><br>*Touts good works of Rev. Wright as if excusing his comments. Would he be so willing to give Don Imus pass by looking at his past good works in order to excuse his ONE racist comment? <br><br>*Obama has a long connection with man he calls profoundly mistaken and word deplorable. Why? Wright didn't get this way overnight. <br><br>Obama's speech has raised more questions than answered. I'm getting ready to see how Network news covered his speech and watch the speech replay.<br><br>***********************<br>I got nothin'

"I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world . . . and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."<br><br>Well, I can certainly sympathize. I love my Dad but also cringe whenever he tosses out the "N" word, especially around my kids.<br><br>

You tossed off the same thought as a number of other people in the same words as a number of other people with the same glibness as a number of other people. I'm sorry for believing my explanation to be more plausible than your notes in the margins.<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U
