Yes, Ruben Navarette wrote a piece but this was expected. I will monitoring the political blogs over the next few weeks to see anybody besides Mexicans care about the senseless violence directed an immigrant. Where is the outrage on the non Hispanic blogs

Obama picked one run by a racist, white hating, Jew hating , psycho. He sat there for 20 years and at some point subjected his children to that place. I want NO part of a man who takes his children to a place like that for political gain. Yes, I dont believe Obama believes in that crap but he didnt have huevos to walk away from it. He thought he needed it politically. I guess he did - but he lost my vote. Sorry, but there lots of churches out there.

If you walk into any Black church in America whose pastors are of the MLK Generation, who grew up in segregation, there is a sense of resentment, anger and mistrust. This reason is why Rev. Al Sharpton has in many ways, stayed away from Obama's campaign. SNL did a pretty good cartoon about this! I agree with you, I think Rev. Sharpton's rhetoric brings nothing to the campaign other than make Obama a scary black man! You should check out John Stewart's clip on this! Hillarious!<br /> But maybe... as a political strategy... I'm glad this conversation is taking place w/ HRC.<br /> There is NO WAY that McCain can rehash this.</p> It seems to me that America likes to live in this state of denial.

But maybe… as a political strategy… I’m glad this conversation is taking place w/ HRC.
There is NO WAY that McCain can rehash this.

However, Rev. Wright appears to me to be a very smart and articulate individual. He used the media......Mr. Obama didn't distance himself from him fast enough!

I am sure you’re not surprised how they handled Geraldine Ferraro’s racist comments, and she was a paid consultant of HRC before she was forced to resign. Based on HRC’s ethnicity, she will always get a free pass. Look at the racist things BYU gets away with, and your tax dollars are still used to fund the education of more racist small minded white people. Double standards based on ethnicity are a way of life in U.S. culture. It is one of those diseases that is confronted periodically by prominent social activists, and usually quelled by violence and assassination. Welcome to the Land of the Free.
