Even in the internet age, the Associated Press has a 36+ day delay on news.

The Associated Press has discovered that Barack Obama has somewhat questionable associations with bad people.

WHAT?!?!?! SAY IT AINT SO!!!

small - medium - large (different sizes for forwarding to friends)

How is it that the Associated Press just found out about Barack Obama’s “questionable” associations? Surely I wasn’t hallucinating when Sean Hannity was screaming about them for months. Or the other hundreds of bloggers and pundits and anchors who occasionally recognized one association after another, but never linked any of them together as perhaps relevant connections when considering whom to elect President of the United States.

This Barry Bunch has only recently added a new family member, corrupt Governor Rod Blagojevich, but the other have been there all along. Tony Rezko helped Obama buy his current home in Chicago and helped him fundraise before being convicted. Bill Ayers helped Obama get his political career started and hired him, after his terrorist organization bombed the Pentagon. Jeremiah Wright married Barack and his wife and baptized his children, before, during, and after yelling racist, anti-American nonsense at the church Obama chose. Then there’s Michael Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Emil Jones, and perhaps the worst of all, the “semi-admitted”* pedophile, childhood mentor of Obama, Frank Marshall Davis (click here to learn about Davis in a report I wrote on Obama connections).

Each of these associations alone could be explained, but not all of them combined. America has no idea what they did on November 4.

* It was pointed out to me that Davis’s writing were “semi-autobiographical” as opposed to autobiographical. So the technical term will be “semi-admitted pedophile” or perhaps “semi-pedophile.”

It took a white preacher saying the same crap as Jeremiah Wright at the same church for Obama to decide to leave the church. Michael Pfleger is a self-hating white who has decided his schtick will be the white who hates whites so that people like Jeremiah Wright seem mainstream.

Obama still doesn’t have the backbone to denounce the church, in fact emphatically stating he will not entertain the idea. “It’s not a church worthy of denouncing.” Mr. Obama, please point to a church that is worth of denouncing so that we have point of reference. What does this church have to do? I am so uninterested in the good things the church does. I see parishioner after parishioner interviewed about Wright and Pfleger talking about all the good things they do. A stopped clock is right twice a day. Do the good deeds of someone wash away their bad deeds? Nazi scientists discovered the link between smoking and lung cancer, and Hitler created the first nationwide ban on smoking in certain public locations including hospitals. I’m supposed to give a crap that the Trinity Church of Hate also runs intramural sports and gives money to charity? Does the KKK get to talk however they like as long as they have social programs?

This latest example of Barack Obama doing as little as possible to get rid of bad news is just more evidence that he is black first, American second. Actually I take that back, he is black first, anti-American second, and American whenever he needs to apologize for something.

Every step of the way Obama chooses to do as little as he can to separate himself from the associations that hurt him politically. I have never seen anyone straddle a fence like this guy. To this day, I still don’t understand his ascendancy. I can’t stand it anymore. John McCain is not my ideal candidate, but Barack Obama is not in the same league.

Barack Obama is a despicable coward with no moral courage.

Black people say I just don’t get it. I’m white, therefore I just don’t get it. While ignoring the inherent racism in their statement, I will point out that the fact that I don’t get it means the civil rights movement was a success. I have grown up in a country without systemic racial superiority or bigotry. My lack of ability to grasp something my feeble white mind will never be able to grasp (sarcasm poured on thickly) is exactly what they claim to striving for: a country without racism.

Equal opportunity for stupidity

The fact is there are some VERY stupid people in the world. When Brooks Shields points out that “if you’re killed, you lose a very important part of your life,” she is an idiot, and I am allowed to point that out. When Jeremiah Wright says the U.S. government created the 3-strikes law to punish blacks, he is an idiot, and I am allowed to point that out. Although those two examples are mirrors of each other, the second has been redefined as racist. How convenient! Black people have figured out how to never be criticized again; point and yell, “racist!”

There are a lot of stupid people commenting on the Wright/Obama controversy, not only defending the reverend’s right to say what he says, but excusing it. Once upon a time, white people allowed blacks to go untreated for syphilis in the Tuskegee study. This is an extremely heinous, despicable crime. But the fact that it was despicable and that it was carried out on blacks does not give blacks the right to impune all white people, and lie about the details. Follow the logic of Jeremiah Wright apologists:

1. Jeremiah Wright claims white people created the AIDS virus and infected black people.
2. His defenders all point out that white people did do that with syphilis in the Tuskegee study.

This is a lie. They were denied treatment for syphilis. You can’t justify an untrue statement about AIDS by citing an inaccurate statement loosely based in reality. You can’t back up a lie with a lie, and the argument that “its sorta true” is far from acceptable. The fact that it was heinous does not give you the right to exaggerate the facts, whether someone of your race had to sit in the back of the bus or be killed in a gas chamber.

Stop whining

I refuse to go another day apologizing to blacks because someone with my skin pigment once mistreated someone with their skin pigment. This is SILLY. We all have obstacles in life, sometimes created by another person. Black people do not own the market on hardships, and not all their hardships are caused by their skin color. Why is racist bigotry held on a pedestal as the epitome of prejudice? Black people think they’re the only people to ever be murdered or treated badly for stupid, ignorant reasons? How presumptuous of them! Gays are routinely murdered in countries around the world, women are treated like pets, less than pets, around the world. And do they think they’re the only people that got hurt in the civil rights movement? Viola Liuzzo, and others, would disagree.

Pot calling the ket… err… milk calling the cream cheese white

I also refuse to shut up when racists call me racist. Any time a white person criticizes a black person, they’re called a racist. Every time a white person (or black person for that matter) points out a bad characteristic of a culture that many blacks subscribe to, they’re called a racist (or an Uncle Tom). There is nothing wrong with criticizing a culture, for the same reason there is nothing wrong with making fun of white people dancing. Or making movies about how we can’t jump high. The word racism has a definition, and it is not “any statement made by a white person that one black person doesn’t like.” I am not a racist, period, therefore any statement I make is not racist. Racial statements are not racist.

So all you race mongers, race apologists out there, of any color. Screw you. I’ll say whatever I damn well please.

I can’t say I’m surprised, but Obama’s response to the controversy about his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, is about as wimpy as it could have been without dooming his candidacy.

“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.”

Don’t straddle every fence

This is one of the most carefully worded, half-ass denunciations I have ever witnessed. Whatever bar Obama had to clear to get past this, he did his best to brush it on his way down. He couldn’t just condemn the hatred of his pastor; he had to clarify. He only disagrees with “the statements that have been the subject of controversy” or “any statement that disparages” or “that are at issue.”

Barack, your pastor is despicable. I, and the rest of us not in your cult, do not care if he occasionally says something useful. I’m sure you can find someone else to consult. Your statements and history with this man convince me you subscribe to his hatred, and you only denounce him partially so that people think you are reasonable. Some of us see through the smoke screen.

I’ve been aware of this guy for awhile, but I hadn’t seen the compilation of all his “comments.” Pastor Jeremiah Wright…

This is Barack’s spiritual adviser. He is on the campaign with Barack.

Another vid

Jeremiah… Barack is half-white, he’s filthy rich, and EXTREMELY privileged. He grew up in a 2 parent home with his mom and step-dad, then his grandparents. And what the hell does the 3 strikes law have to do with black people?

White people invented AIDS to kill blacks

Evidently this guy also blames the US government for inventing the AIDS virus to kill black people, but I didn’t see a video on that. Barack has renounced some of this guy’s comments in public, but why does he associate with him at all? Barack has denounced Wright, but he is still holding a prominent appointed position in the Obama campaign. People keep pointing out that he retired from the church. He retired to go on the trail with Barack!

The guy can be quite funny though…“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.” I’ll bet Hitler could tell a good knock-knock joke on occasion.

I’m no republican, but I am DEFINITELY no democrat. Forget politics, can ANYONE find 10% of this kind of crap on John McCain? I mean, even close? This is the best the democrat party can come up with? Barack just wants it both ways; he wants mainstream people to believe he’s against this guy, but he wants extreme people to think he supports the guy’s ranting. It is the EXACT EQUIVALENT of John McCain having a white supremacist on his campaign, but saying he doesn’t agree with his statements. Explain the difference to me.

Some advice for Barry… Jeremiah Wright is a vicious racist, and you have been hanging out with him for 20 years, and Wright has been consistent for all 20. He even performed your wedding ceremony. He is on one of your campaign committees. There is no reason to believe you don’t support his beliefs. Actions speak louder than your pathetic words denouncing his statements. You MUST fire this racist and move on if you want to have any chance in this election. Anyone that is black first, American second, is unfit for command.

Republican landslide

McCain, if you don’t repeat Jeremiah Wright’s name over and over and over and over through November, you are too incompetent to be a politician. This is soft toss; knock it out of the park. If you do, the inexperienced, unaccomplished, all-talk-no-walk Barack Obama will disappear from the national stage.
