oboma is a liar and a thief. Bad shit has a way of happening to stupid people with more

frequency depending on just how bone dead stupid they are.

Youd better stop waving bumper stickers and believing

everything you are told and worse acting on it as if it

were true. It isnt possible that the ones lying to,

feeding on and controlling you have your best interests at

heart. They want you worse than dead and they are working on

it right now.

Your a biggot, and never going to get reparations nobody owes shit to you or any blacks for that situation. Blacks don't deserve them any more then Indians, Chinese and every other race that was enslaved then or now. Why should I apologize and hand you money for somthing my ancestors did? Think how fucking retarded that is. When was the last time you apologized to another black for enslaving? Blacks enslaved blacks. Get the fuck out of here with that poison man.

There is no dispute among either ancient or modern Muslim scholars that under Islamic law, a murtadd, "one who turns his back on Islam," an apostate, must be put to death. Irtidad, apostasy, is committing treason against God, and traitors deserve to be killed. At a minimum, other Muslims would shun him if not kill him and his mother. The fact they are eagerly welcomed by the Muslim community begs the question, is he their 'Manchurian' candidate?

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies — and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the world.

Yet Barack Hussein Obama refuses the national anthem.

NO but him being a politician and having a prior relationship with Obama where he mentioned the Wright issue does.

How many Obama defenders does it take to notice a glaring and obvious fact of physical reality? Is the answer one of those irritaitng infinites that you sometimes get in field equations, where you need to find an opposite infinity of in order to cancel??

[FarFromEquilibrium]

oh bs he defended it once already this year and calling it something else or ignoring it does not make it go away. Obama didnt denounce wright until wright made another speech a month and some weeks later. Mayor Brown points out how Obama took over a year to address this closest and best friend, knowing all the while he would be a problem. Obama keeps flopping and Obamites are mesmerized into oblivion all the while. How bout his AIPAC speech where he (now) endorses the Bush plan on Palestine?

[ariagia]

White people today are not responsible for apologizing about the enslavement of Blacks in the past. *We are, however accountable for keeping negative depictions of Blacks or anyone else in mass media in check and deconstructing social hierarchies and supremacy which are the residual effects of enslavement.*

[ariagia]

Nothing is astute about this speech. As Einstein said, "As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. " Brown's speech criticizing Obama is simply ostentatious. Obama would never defend hateful ideology.

[ariagia]

The sole fact that Willie Brown is black doesn't compensate for representation as him being an expert on this topic.

I agree with Willie Brown politically on this issue. Of course, Brown is complete Whore and as he states would have no problem lying and disowning people if it gave him the slightest bit of advantage. What a truly despicable man Willie Brown is.
