Bill Kristol, New York Times Hack, UPDATE

Hey David, or should i say Keith, put down the pom poms and report the news. You guys on the far left are always and i mean always reporting the wrong story. I know that it hurts to think that your beloved barack may not be a skeaky clean as you like to report him as. His association to the rev. wright is a real story that needs to be adressed. Do your job and ask the questions.

You Obama fans just can't get enough of jumping on someone who came to his senses, realized the bluff, and changed his opinion from 2 months ago. There are many things that the public, including you Mr. Blogger, do not know about Obama, and frankly, I do not want someone running the Military and the Government while dodging bullets and changing his mind about what he really believes in. I do not believe we should elect someone that appeals to the "young" generation, just because it is the "cool" thing to do. Most of the youngsters don't even know where their polling center is.
Keith Oberman is a hack, not Kristol.

Sorry, previous commenters, but this one is easy. Obama was in Florida. Proven. Done. Couldn't have been there. Come on, man up, and admit the Kristol and the other idiot were lying or, at best, dissembling.

i feel i have been conned by obama..even if he was not at some of the sermons on the tapes..he has heard 800 of rev wright speeches in last 20 years.and still cheerish him as his mentor..hope i have time to cancel my $100 check i wrote to him last wk

Obama has been listening to Rev Wright for 20 years, is someone going to tell me that Rev Wright just turned into a racist. Rev Wright has been preaching like this for a long long time. He even goes so far as to tell blacks that white people invented aids to kill blacks, try telling that to families that have lost there loved one. Obama you need to stop all this racist crap you keep accusing Clinton of and get out of this race

Stick a fork in him, "Obama is done". Guilt by association, you betcha!!

Now we know why Michelle Obama has not been proud of America, it has been pounded in her head for 20 years to hate America, do we want this in the White House?

march 17-08 obama i believe has to many secrets that are being withheld from everyone,its a shame that his supports eyes are open but they still cant see,if they choose obama as the democratic candidate,im a 46year old mex/amer and im not blind i can see that obama is a muslum "sleaper"who lies to become the first muslum president.barack"hussein"obama this will be embaressing to our troops & allies. mex/amer-JR.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT WHAT SOME MINISTER SAID SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH WHAT JOHN HAGEE A MC.CAIN SUPPORTER AND A SO CALLED SELF PROCLAIMED MINISTER SAID ABOUT CATHOLICS "THAT THEY WERE WHORES". AND THAT WAS SAID 2 WEEKS AGO.WHERE'S THE PUBLIC OUTCRY FROM THE NESPAPAERS AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

BILLY KRISTOL TO ME HAS NO CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER. I NEVER READ HIS TRASH AND I DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE THAT DOES..IT'S IDIOTS LIKE HIM THAT HAVE CAUSED THIS COUNTRY TO BE SO DIVIDED.HE'S BUSH'S LAPDOG.

We must take Obama's close relationship with his pastor seriously. He can't pander to one side and then the other. What happened to that great judgment Obama had? We must support "experience" with Hillary. That's the only chance we have of winning this election.

Arab-American concentration camps

If you listen to Barack H. Obama, you might get the impression Arab-American families are getting knocks on door in the middle of the night after which they are spirited away to concentration camps never to be seen again.

As the head of an Arab-American family, this was news to me.

But that's what he told the people of Texas in a commercial message just before the primary vote.
"If there is an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney, it threatens my civil liberties," he said. "It is that fundamental belief, I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, it is that fundamental belief that makes this country work."

Granted he said "if." But that is an awfully big "if." I don't think there will be much emphasis on the word "if" when that message is played on Al-Jazeera and around the Muslim world where it is assumed America routinely rounds up innocent Arab-Americans without trial, without attorneys, without reason.

Does Barack H. Obama believe Arab-American families are being rounded up? Does he believe any have been rounded up? Does he believe it will happen?
Does his contempt for American institutions know no depths?

Is this one of the reasons he and his wife have had no pride in their country until he became a front-running presidential candidate?

Can he name one Arab-American family that has ever been mistreated by the U.S. government?
Why is he singling out Arab-American families? Does he think they deserve special consideration?
Is he afraid his family might be rounded up because of his own Arab-African name?
Is this one of the reasons he insists it's bad form for anyone to make reference to his middle name – which is clearly Arab in origin?

Let me tell you, as an Arab-American, I believe my chances for being part of any mass roundup will be greatly increased through a Barack H. Obama presidency. It won't come because of my ethnic background. But, if it does come, it will likely be because of my open allegiance to constitutional government – something this self-proclaimed "constitutional scholar" wouldn't understand if the document read itself to him.

Think of the damage this man does to his nation's image around the world every time he opens his mouth. It's disgraceful. It's treacherous. It's pathological.
But there's more to the quote, if you remember. Barack H. Obama is noted for speaking in platitudes and non sequiturs – and this is no exception.

He jumps from portraying America as a police state to explaining that it is America's charitable instincts and its commitment to compassion for others that makes it work.

Which is it? Or is it really both?

Is he concerned about the oppressive power of the state? Or does he actually plan to make the oppressive state more powerful – to grow it at the expense of individual compassion, which he finds lacking in its inability to solve any real problems?

Think about these questions and this quote, because they say a lot about the man most likely to be the next president of the United States.

As an Arab-American, I am deeply offended that this man claims to be protecting my rights, watching out for my family's welfare, serving as my loving brother.
He's not. My Arab-American family has been in this country for three generations, having fled the persecution of the Muslim world in search of a better life. Never once has any member of my extended family, going back three generations, experienced even the slightest discrimination or bigotry in this wonderful land of opportunity and promise. Certainly we have never quaked in our beds fearing a knock on the door and the extra-judicial roundup.
It is so preposterous. It is so demeaning. It is so insulting to America.

I'm sure America's enemies are putting Barack H. Obama's campaign rhetoric to use in their propaganda at this very moment.

I don't think many people need footage or a witness to figure out that after 20 years, Obama has most definitely seen and heard and known all about Pastor Wright.

I cannot even cope with this lawyerly inquiry to find out whether or not Obama was present at such a sermon.

This one just takes common sense to figure out.

You bear allegiance to the constitutional government? I presume you've been nodding off at the wheel while the republican led congress and Team Bush have done almost everything to employ the Department of Justice to contort, maneuver get-around and simply sideline the constitution in its protection of the American republic.

And what blasphemous treachery has BO committed around the world by opening his mouth? I'm more worried about the damage we're NOW seeing, that has resulted from small-thinking-large-talking GW. You're absolutely dead on, we have more to lose when BO opens his mouth, than when GW does.

So we have proof Obama was in Florida on the day of that sermon? I did not see how we know that. The NewsMax guy says he was there that day and saw Obama (for what that's worth). You can't just say "He was in Florida" and expect everybody to believe it (Oh wait it's St. Obama, I forgot, so "YES WE CAN").

Anyway, we are supposed to believe, in TWENTY YEARS of Obama attending this church, he never heard Wright's worst speeches? Maybe Wright was just on his best behavior those days?

I did read that Oprah Winfrey quit the church after she heard on of those speeches. I apologize to her, but she can still give me a car or spa holiday or something! Good for her.

Sorry did not watch the video.

I am not sure that Obama speaking at a La Raza rally makes me feel much better than his not being in church that day. Do you know what La Raza is?

As it always seems to be with Obama, the real truth is just as bad, if not worse, than the misconception. BOO to Newsmax though. Why would they do something that stupid?

To tedman, well done. Says it all!

DAVID KNOWLES? Who pays you? You are an idiot( not us Americans!)

Go home DAVID KNOWLES to the church you love! Obama will welcome you!

I bet you couldn't last a week in a black neighborhood!
