^ That photo was from a "prayer meeting" with several spiritual leaders after the Lewinsky fiasco surfaced. Guess Bill was trying to absolve his sins.

A key prob with Bambi's 20-year relationship with this pastor is his judgement with staying on with this church for so long. I doubt Wright preached loving sermons based on several clips I saw. More fire and brimstone and "us blacks have to take a stand". This will be difficult for Bambi to deflect. I watched that speech again and there is racism in there re his white granma and I also wondered why he had to read bible quotes from a page -- after 20 years, he should know them by heart. And doing his speech from (it looks like) a teleprompter. Didn't notice that before.
And where is his wife these days? Loking after the kiddies and painting Easter eggs for the hunt? Your huz is running for prez, lady, get with the program. Mind, he's probably better off without her vinegary speeches.

do all christian candidates (particularly giuiliani) support everything the pope says?

has john mccain renounced the quotes of john hagee?

did mitt romney support everything said by the only prophet in mormonism?

did GWB support bob jones university's policy barring interracial dating?

the likely answer to all these questions is 'no'. so why all the attention to obama's pastor?

let's be clear....this isn't about religion, it's about race---and more accurately the divisive politicization of race. because that's the only arrow in the republican quiver that has even the slightest chance of damaging the candidacy of barack obama.

and in the end they will fail, because while the american people have the tendency to be distracted by the shiny penny, they eventually come to their senses (notice iraq) and look at thing critically. by the time the election comes in november, most americans will be rolling their eyes at this pathetic attempt to demonize obama because of something someone he knows said.

and by the way, so much for obama not being 'tested'.

Ray your little Darkie preacher has a new tape out of him insulting Israel and blaming 9-11 on them and America, will see how this turns out.

Obama was a member of his church for 20 years , the same church gave a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farakhan.

Been questioning someone's assertions, and they could not provide any facts to back them up.
Added quite a few other comments before Ms. Jet.

And what have you added apart from slagging both Wright and Obama off?
Oh yeah, having a go at ray and myself...

And what exactly is wrong with preaching that "us blacks have to take a stand"?
Good luck to them, they'll need it judging by the comments in this thread.

Jet Gorgon · 23-03-2008, 04:24 PM

^ Our opinions, Stroll. That's what an issues forum is all about. Your debate tactics are pretty slummy, "cherry picking" as the politicos call it. You have not added any opinions or linky refs that I have seen, except personal slag offs of other posters. I have opinions on Wright and Obama, of course. Why don't you debate the bases of my opinions instead of bashing me personally? Need more info on the issues? I can give you links. You should also read the articles published by the black and latino press in the US. I have.

Yes, and...? I may not question anything someone asserts to be true?
Seems to me sometimes people derive 'facts' from their opinion, not the other way round. The so-called 'facts' sometimes present a simplified extract of half-truths and assumptions.
I query those.

It's not my fault you haven't read my opinions. As for linky refs, there are plenty of informative ones already in this thread, and I usually add my own thoughts rather than quoting from blogs or opinion pieces, if that's alright with you.

I have been questioning the basis of your opinions, but the responses have been personal attacks and ridicule.

Ok, never mind, so let me repeat:

Seems innocuous enough to me in the context of a black pastor addressing his black community.

btw, ray - I put overseas in quotes as you never answered Tits whether or not you're back in the states.

B.S.
Nature being what it is, the male of the species is the responsible bread-winner & the little woman has the kids. Only in this so-called 'post-modern' world where the genders are "confused" is it different...

stroller · 23-03-2008, 06:01 PM

Hear hear, it is "nature" - goodness, I thought that lame argument had been debunked enough times already.

There's a long list of feminists and sociologists.

Try here:

Quote:

Patriarchy literally is ‘rule by the father’ but more generally it refers to a social situation where men are dominant over women in wealth, status and power.
Patriarchy is associated with a set of ideas, a ‘patriarchal ideology’ that acts to explain and justify this dominance and attributes it to inherent natural differences between men and women.
Sociologists tend to see patriarchy as a social product and not as an outcome of innate differences between the sexes and they focus attention on the way that gender roles in a society affect power differentials between men and women.

PATRIARCHY

interesting that this is what you percieve. i know that i have made several comments on this thread that have nothing to do with the opinons of other posters.

and furthermore, this is a 'discussion' forum in which people will respond to the posts and opinions of others....if you don't like people taking a hard look at your opinons and posting a reply, maybe you should consider starting a blog.

menopausal_old_maid.blogspot.com perhaps?
