that's not the point. is this the famous quotes thread?

let me go back to what i already posted...and you've conveniently chosen not to address....

does it matter that halle berry said it? what is at issue is the seemingly conscious effort to hide the source.....an anti obama site. if this is permissable, so be it.

chinthee

^Ray, let's do this. Boon Mee will have to prove the relevancy of Halle Berry's comments to this thread, and absent that, his thread will be deleted as off topic.

Fair enough? There is no prohibition from providing links to far right or far left blogs.

Boon Mee

Indicitive of this blind Obamarama taking place these days is all...

raycarey

serious question...are you drunk? please say so, because you're not making any sense.

i'm not questioning the fact that boon mee has the right to waste his and our time by posting links to silly blogs that quote the opinions of actresses. the issue is what i see as a conscious effort to disguise the source. i honestly don't know how i can make it any clearer than that. if the link is to obamamessiah or any other vitriolic blogs he continually cites, should he be permitted to hide the true source by typing something innocuous instead?

Boon Mee

Whatsamatter, ray?
Kiddies give you a hard time today?

^^Ok, Ray, for the sake of argument, he labeled that link 'Halle Berry.' What on earth could possibly be a legitimate website with that name? Her official fansite? Is that your position?

Disguising a source is calling it something that it is not. He called it Halle Berry. That blog contained a quote from Halle Berry. I'm afraid I don't follow your vehement objections to this. What should he have called it? "Halle Berry's comments as quoted on a far right wing nutcase blog?"

Please clarify.

Did he diddle you a bit ?



In this era of ohh so political correctness , any other politician would be out on his ass with having any type of a relationship with someone like Rev Wright , let alone being as close to him as Obama is.

Boon Mee

No shit.

Imagine if Karl Rove were to have attended just one of Rev. Jerry Falwell's church sermons. All hell would have broke loose...

sabang

Na, don't even remember him.

Wright is the Pastor of an acknowledged succesful Church- a useful endorsement for Obama, until this latest stuff. I don't see how they are so close though- Obama converted to Xtian in his congregation, and like every Pastor, his kids were baptised there. He wasn't at any of these controversial sermons, and frankly if he was, so what?

I do not believe for a minute that an accomplished US citizen is just an automaton controlled by some priest.

converted?

the potential political fallout would be if he was present, why didn't he take issue with the statements.

BobbyTits

Obama had given him a political appointment, some sort of religious adviser and was going to have him give the introduction speech naming his run for presidency - they are close.

Billy Graham and others make comments which are equally offensive to some. People have different beliefs and opinions.
The whole thing is blown out of proportion in the pre-election circus IMO.

Hello, somebody at home?- reality check!
The words of the preacher are far from "politically correct", a better description would be "very controversial" in the political context they are being placed in now. But sure, you (plural) are going to try an' squeeze as much political capital out of this as possible to discredit the "nigga".




Sorry, but you are overreacting. Embedding urls into text is standard practice, there even is a tab for this purpose in the tool-bar. Just hover over the text and you can clearly see the url.

This is ridiculous. It is up to the reader to assess the relevance and reliability of quoted text - that's why source and author are important info.
This discussion may sit better in the critique thread.

BobbyTits

The "nigga" has been a member of the church for 20 years and is now claiming ignorant of ever hearing any comments such as these from his friend/pastor ?

Wake Up or go and shoot some more heroin.

Texpat

Wassa matter Ray? This preacher man got your knickers in a twist?
Drifting sideways on the forum moderation front?

The better response is, what does this guy have to do with Obama?
Is he any more damaging than the NY guv is to Hildabeast?

I don't think so. This smear/countersmear is going to go on for another 4-5 months. Don't the Dems realize they're only bludgeoning themselves?

stroller

Not sure why you quoted my words to say this as if it addresses anything I posted? And just in case this diversion doesn't work, just add a personal insult, to give your so-called argument more weight, eh?

stroller

You could answer these questions yourself, if you made the effort to put your beer down and read ray's posts.

Hmm, if the responses in this thread are anything to go by....Booners, bg, Jet and the Tits-guy aren't Dems "bludgeoning themselves".

Boon Mee

Perhaps ray can clarify the statements outlined within the following link with more ease?

Obamarama has seemenly airbrushed out the pic of his 'pastor' on his Obamarama web site.

^ Well, hardly surprising booner. I still think it's a storm in a teacup, but it's how it effects the vote that counts. Things are a bit different stateside.
