Countdown - Obama's Race Speech

[TheModelification]

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

[TheModelification]

3 /4

From Obama’s Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the {Muslims} should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' page 261.



[TheModelification]

2 /4

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

[TheModelification]

1 /4 Obama’s Anti-American sentiment.

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating> myself to whites.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

[BigDames28]

it doesnt matter if hes biracial, hes MUSLIM, muslim people. I would rather have an Atheist as president than him, if the people who were upset that Kennedy was catholic were here today, they would leave the country. Proposterous

[LinkinChemicalBoy]

Lol, please tell me you're being sarcastic in some weird fucked up way, or you just made yourself look like the biggest dumbass on the internet.

[trojoe]

Really? Is this BS still out there? Where'd you get this? Fox News? Change the channel. Take a class. Read a book. In other words, educate yourself before you spout this nonsense.

[Deadword]

bsport "ARAB" hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahah..are you for real? fool

[nanquan491]

lol what a joke!

[theguy134151]

Theres no reason for Clinton fans to hate Obama and vice versa. Democrat needs to be in office whoever it may be and thats what matters. Lets face it theres little different between the Dem. canidates besides personality

[audacity226]

I cannot beleive we have such ignorant people in this country.Free education,free library, plenty of reading material and here we have the proof of inability to understand english and follow logically the meaning of words.

This is not about opinions, we have enough idiots running around with those.

Rise to the occasion, read your history and look at things from the other point of view.

Remove your side blinder first.

[iplayguitarido]

I'd rather have a woman in office than that anti american bastard.  OPEN YOUR EYES, OBAMA-LOVERS!!! IM NOT RACEIST, IM JUST NOT STUPID!!!! "spam" me if you feel the need, but think about what your doing, voteing for this ARAB.

[Rathmaker]

The only thing that you accomplish with a comment like this is to widen the racial divide. Clean the ignorance out of your eyes, and look at the whole picture and not just what is in your frontal view.

[bsport48]

"IM NOT RACEIST" "but think about what your doing, voteing for this ARAB."

wow i didn't know george bush's consigliere knew how to use a computer...kudos on learning how to be a part of the 21st century. but alas, your stupidity is only rivaled by your inability to spell, so do us all a favor and go back to your hut.

[modeltrain9500]

well...who in their right mind would vote for a president that associated with terrorists

[LinkinChemicalBoy]

True - but he's not. Idiot.

[leeemo]

I could've at least said African. But apparently, you really are stupid.

[modeltrain9500]

i support you man!

[illanmakelight]

idiot. idiot. IDIOT.

1. learn to spell

2. learn something other than bullshit

3. go back to wherever you came from

[trojoe]

Arab? Tell me something, could you point to the part of a world map from which Arabs come? I'm guessing not... based on your identifying a Hawaiian as an Arab.

[paulino89]

Who care if he is bi-racial and what the grand father of Olbermann said about a black baseball player or about the assassination of MLK the point was that he had 20 fucking years to walk out of the fucking church and he didn't. This fucking lunatics from MSNBC noise don't get it they try to go so far defending Obama that they loose contact with the world and common sense. I guess am just a typical white person, who is racist and doesn't like black people.

[knacktube]

your last sentence sounds right. you don't get it, why would he leave his church? he liked it. heck i kinda liked the snippest the idiot news ran over and over again. lighten up and stop being so gullible.

[lees20022]

Obama thru his Grandma under a bus.

He did confess in his speech that he lied earlier about not knowing at all about Wright's vitriolic sermons.

He lier over and over in interviews prior to his speech

His grandma's crime was that she was frighened by an aggressive black panhandler.

Thats not racist...thats human

[semoserjr]

You're silly, his point wasn't to call his grandmother racist, or even make a statement thats about his personal life. Wow. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're a 10 year old from some place with not that many other people around. No offense. I just can't believe that someone would take out of that brilliant speech a view so silly. So what if he knew about those "vitriolic" sermons? (good job using a word you learned in an article) Have you ever been to a black church?

[WillDOC2cb]

you sooo stupid, its fucking sad.

so, just say it fag, you think all blacks are niggers.

[SticksTweeks]

I command you OBAMA to take the helm!

[Yank60]

Good onya  President Obama

[boochy33]

Rachel has a bigger slong than olbermann

[RunPower]

Probably... but ain't she great.

[FaithE5]

pretty good discussion

[precast12]

Oh, no. Now we're gonna here all the hidden racist stuff relatives have said. But what's important, Obama just said to people: "Come on? Are you really suprised some black people feel this way?" Whites can salute the flag without any ill will. But remember that for blacks of his pastors generation America was for a long time a police state.There was nothing American about those times.

[omerta25]

I've said it before and I'll say it again....RACHEL MADDOW IS SMOKIN HOT HOT HOT!!!! I want to see her hotness and mental gymnastics on display every night. I say she replace olbermann, who is not nearly as hot.

[precast12]

She does look like a lesbian. But that's not a problem.

[baronmorris]

a sexy lesbian. ;-)

[baronmorris]

not replace Olberman, but perhaps a permenant part of his show, or her own show in a prime slot. She is remarkably lucid and I like her spirit.

[FreshCliches]

Since Tucker got canned (and rightly so), I always thought that Rachel should've gotten that hour instead of Gregory.

Smart, insightful, funny, and she usually rips the gasbags a new one, all while smiling.

Even breeders like me want a woman like this.

[Hikaru2g]

The media is just looking for something wrong for Barack Obama but they couldn't find anything so they go after his pastor. He didn't say those things, obviously you can see that wasn't Obama that said anything. Instead of getting mad at Obama you should upset with the Pastor not him. Common Sense people!

[eric2tall]

Keith is completely lost and off track with this 'grandmother' evoking being the great part of the speech. Obama did disservice to his own grandmother by putting her in the same category as Reverend Wright! Unbelievable if people miss this irony. Obama humiliated his own grandmother by putting these two in the same category!!! Reverend Wright's message is horrible and off mark and not helpful to anyone. Period.

[baronmorris]

blahblahblah

[FreshCliches]

Head on over to jmcread's favorites page, and it's rather easy to conclude that we have someone tossing Hillary's salad here.

Nice try, hack.

[sandysarlo]

MSNBC - The anything for Obama network, strikes again.

[eric2tall]

This is not a spam message. It is the truth. MSNBC is in tank for Obama because of the Imus fiasco. They are afraid of being called racists once again. People wake up!

[AndruLu]

Unbelievable! Olberman & Co. still carrying Obama's water. Senator Obama threw is poor grandmother under the bus. He humilated her! That says a lot about Obama's character. Olberman then goes on to completely humiliate his own grandfather. Funny how Olberman & Co. barely discussed Rev. Wright's hateful sermons. Wake up about Obama, America!

[ironmonkeyfist]

wow you missed the entire point of the conversation. You also missed the entire point of his speech. Obama said that Wright's sermon was wrong. He strongly rejected them, over and over agian.

[AmBoy00]

I'm concerned that the only point you got from this thirty minute speech was the one about his grandmother.

[AndruLu]

I did not say this was the only point I got from the speech. OLBERMANN said the grandmother comment was the "key" to the speech.

[eric2tall]

Why are you people spamming messages that do not agree with Keith. This is a censorship of the worst kind. There are people who see this 'grandmother' part differently. You may spam us as much as you like, but you will not change our minds and Obama will not get our votes with this method. LISTEN to us!

[scrumpydoo23]

Barack Obama did really well with this speech, and im glad the media was able to understand this and didnt go on a complete witchhunt with it
