People will associate this with Obama (1.28 / 7)

For the reasons noted in the diary

1. Their long relationship of 20 years

  1. His presence on Obama's website and Obama's religious committee
  2. The members of the church that Obama was a member of for 20 years cheering and jeering on at the comments.

Obama needs to do more than cut him loose. He needs to cut loose his whole @&&! Church of Hate, or his campaign will devolve into a 1960's race riot... which created a 40-year Nixonian backlash we are just seeing the end of now... and the black man can't win in that atmosphere.

Oh come on (none / 0)

People here will rec a comment by someone who calls Obama's church a "@&&! Church of Hate" and states that the campaign of the presumptive Democratic nominee will devolve into a race riot and something about 'the black man' not being able to win in 'that' atmosphere.

That got rec'd.  Twice.  

People use the word 'community' around here a lot but if there are more people rec'ing a comment like that than tr'ing it, I wonder, a community of what?

Re: Oh come on (none / 0)

That's not a troll?  Someone who calls Obama's church, a Church of Hate and claims that we're going to have race riots as the nominee because Obama is black?  Or something.  This was insane garbage with weird racial undertones.  It was the definition of troll garbage so why don't you save your 'fair and balanced' baloney?

Re: Oh come on (none / 0)

No, because they don't recognize the irony of using racial-baiting comments in response to a diary about rejecting hate....

Re: Oh come on (none / 0)

Well it looks like Obama has left his church. This was the correct move, IMO, even though some people will see it as political pandering. In any case, this, as well as his reiteration that the comments "totally conflict with my long-held views" closes the issue for me.
