| VDH: the speech Obama should have given |
| 2008-03-27 |
| Had Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.) said the following words in his speech last week on race in America, his problems with his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, would probably now be over: “You have all heard the racist and anti-American outbursts of my pastor Rev. Wright. They are all inexcusable. His speeches have forced me to reexamine my long association with Trinity United Church of Christ. And so it is with regret that I must now leave that church. “I had heard similar extremist language of Rev. Wright in the past, and now apologize that I did not earlier end my attendance and contributions. Had I long ago expressed my strong objections to Rev. Wright’s views, such opposition might have suggested to him a more moderate path. “But any good that now might come by remaining steadfast to Rev. Wright in consideration of our long past friendship is outweighed by the damage that would accrue from the sanction of his extremism that my continued attendance at his church might convey. “I have loyalty aplenty, but it is to the truth, my country, and universal tolerance, not to any one friend — however long and close our association. . . ." Go read it all. If McCain's speechwriters have any sense, they'll be cribbing off this article for the benefit of McCain or his running mate. |

| #1 "God Damn America....just words. America KKK...just words. The government invented AIDS to kill the black man....just words. White people are still the opressors of the black race....just words. Don't tell me words don't matter." There, fixed it for ya VDH. Or, BHO should really say the below and McCain (if his advisors had any cojones) should use the above. "I'm a joke and a liar, of course that kind of goes without saying as anyone with any lick of commonsense would know full well I sat in on all those sermons and heard Wright's schtick for the past 20 years. Any person with a half a brain might even conclude that I tacitly endorsed Reverend Wright's views. Luckily those kinds of people are not my supporters. I also don't have any true experience to make me realistically viable as the Commander in Chief. Heck, I was in the Illinois state senate not too long ago. One term senator Clinton has more experience then I do. Sen McCain was voting on bills in congress when I was doing coke back in the day. Again, thank Allah, oops, I mean God, that my average supporter is to lazy to research any of this. Also, my wife might make me sit down to go pee but at least she isn't screwing interns behind my back. I do know one thing; I can count on at least 40% of the American people - you know, the elitist white guilt ridden liberal democrats and the ignorant swing voters to vote my way, so screw it, I'm staying in the race. It's all about change, that's all these lemmings, uh, I mean the people want to hear, not that the change is going to be for the better, cuz' believe me it's not. Unless your a socialist that is. You think a 35% corporate tax is steep wait to you see what me and the democratic congress do to the man. Also, I know the surge is working but since my base is so stupid, er, I mean myopic without any sense of history or posterity we're gonna pull the troops as soon as I can sign the paper work. Thank you, I'm glad you liked the show. For my next trick I'm going to pull Teddy Kennedy out of my ass." |
