Christianparty.net, eh?

What about a few sentences commenting in your own words, or are you one of those who let dubious blogs and sites do the talking?

No, I do not need to do any 'homework' to disprove derogatory racist propaganda.
But you need to revise your neutrality in condoning the unsourced posting of such and even linking it to a reputable book.

I can pull the text apart for its innuendo, misrepresentation and underlying hate, even before I place it in the context of Tits' posting history.

Wanna discuss differences between "races", post some relevant material from reliable resources - studies, statistics, reasoned commentary, and I'll respond in kind.

You were given links with theories by many academics. You will not get hard science on this issue but the ideas presented are pretty much common knowledge.

Except to asshole trolls like yourself.

Thank you, better than being a retard racist troll by a mile and a half.

You are incapable of distinguishing "academic" therories from imbecile rants, Tits.
You did manage to find a worthwhile link, the one about mainstream science and intelligence.
Now, if only you could make sense of it, or are you one of the 6% Whites on the bottom end of the Bell Curve regarding intelligence?

More from that POS the Rev Wright.
BTW, how does one make an "ethnic" bomb?

"I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check; they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that killed Blacks and Arabs."

What an idiot and Obama sat thru this guys 'sermons' for 20 years???

So, was Israel really an ally with Apartheid SA, or were they just doing some trade/business/quid pro quo together?

Were they waters international? I assume so. Of course. It's a bomb test (if it did happen.)

If this is untrue, then this Xtian sounds whacko. (No, I didn't read the link, sorry.)

^ Nor patriotic. Guess those flag pins leave a hole in his suit lapels. I did notice he was wearing a pin of some sort when Bill Richardson gave his endorsement speech, but couldn't zoom in to see what it was.

Obama's pastor problem fades: Poll

Sen. Barack Obama's advantage over Sen. Hillary Clinton in a national tracking poll has held firm since the controversy over Obama's retired pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "began to die down,'' Gallup is reporting.

"Obama's current margin, based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking interviews conducted April 1-3, is a slight improvement over the 3-point edge he held in the prior two releases,'' Gallup's Jeff Jones reports. "Obama has held at least a slight edge over Clinton since Mar. 19-21 polling, once the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy began to die down.

"Obama trailed Clinton throughout January and did not inch ahead of her until Feb. 10-12 polling, just after the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses.
"Since that time, the typical pattern has been for Obama to hold a slight edge over Clinton. However, he has yet to open up and maintain a consistently large lead over Clinton.

Gallup's tracking also finds this: Voter preferences in a general election matchup "are the same regardless of whether the matchup is between John McCain and Obama (46 percent for Republican Sen. John McCain to 45 percent for Obama) or McCain and Clinton (46 percent for McCain to 45 percent for Clinton)."Both trial heats have shown a close race since the tracking program began on March 7, though McCain has held a slight edge or been tied with the Democrats in all but the first two releases.'

The Swamp: Obama's pastor problem fades: Poll

I am not one that thinks a persons good works should allow folks to overlook their bad works/words. The reverend might have done lots of good, but that in no fashion excuses him for making many of the questionable comments.

It is not Obama’s association with the reverend that makes me not want to vote for him – it is his platform. And hopeful most voters (but probably not the case) will also make their voting decision based upon platform and not associations.

That being said I don’t have a huge problem with his association with Obama, and I think the speech Obama made following this whole things blowing up was actually a decent speech. Sure it will be consider divisive by some on both side but lets face it most of the folks that consider that speech divisive weren’t likely to vote for him anyway. I think he speech was effective at reaching the market that it was target at.

I also doubt that we have seen the end of this by a long shot. The red team will certainly make more of this later should Obama end up with the nod to run for the top spot in the land by the blue team.
