Heh. I suppose you've already fled the country in shame.

Farrakhan doesn’t “have the stage”. Are you saying you believe that after 400 years of slavery and jim crow that Farahkhan is the singular impediment to racial harmony? Are you saying that if Farrakhan would just go away, whites would be able to accept blacks?

If your concern is racial harmony, take a black fellow American out for coffee one day. Talk to him or her as a human being. Ask him or her about family, hopes and dreams.

And remember, while you worry about petty so-called victories and divisiveness, China is owning your behinds; but, Republicans don’t have any answers except war and tax cuts. Time has passed you by, but you’re too dumb to see it. You just haven’t been slapped around by Republican policies enough…you need to have your ribs broken as well. Well, some people don’t want to be slapped around anymore.

As long as clowns like Farrakhan have the stage, racial harmony — that is, peaceful co-existence — will suffer.

As the leader of the NOI, Farrkhan lives for the NOI dream of a separate state for blacks within the US. He and his predecessors and followers believe separation is the only way. And one of his followers seems to be Rev Wright.

I think Obama will receive the Democractic nomination. Then the fun will start. But it will all end in November when Obama loses in the largest landslide in US history.

I observe that when Chris drinks, he sweats and is more insecure, cutting people off mid-sentence, not observing those social niceties. I don’t exactly see moisture, it’s more of an impression of sweatiness. He appears less “sweaty” these days, and drinks lots of water during interviews. Maybe he’s overcome the liquor demons.

I am not fond of the white man’s variation of the Jewish god…fictitious though he be. It is ironic that this authoritarian, punitive god would come to be so beloved by Americans of African descent. Though he slay them, yet will they trust him.

do you want to “harmonize” with the races?

He repeated his list of paranoid delusions: the US government created AIDS to kill blacks; abortion is a US government plot to kill blacks, and many more.

Then there is the Final Call and the NOI website, where every anti-Semitc tract imaginable is available for sale, as well as a long list of books informing blacks how whites exploit them every second of the day.

Yeah, old Louis, he’s the essence of racial harmony.

There’s truthiness from a drunk, and then there’s Christopher Hitchens spouting drivel and wants to convince you its the truth. I tuned him out when he tries to debate about God, and he’s an atheist. You have to believe in something, and he usually believes in having another drink.

Yawn.

The Republicans better hope McCain can get through a debate without calling Obama a racial slur.

As it is, he called his wife the C word in public.

But, I’m not down with having grown folks being held accountable for what other grown folks say.

Not down with that at all.

That’s not an attack, it’s the truth.

well said!

But Hitchens is a moron and a jerk, and I SO wish the press would start ignoring him. I suppose they find him entertaining; there’s no shortage of morons and jerks on TV.

I’ve never known an atheist that wasn’t a nice, reasonable (and generally liberal) person, and it pains me to see a guy like Hitchens purporting to represent atheism. Uh.

While some of you may yawn, or try to wish these connections away, they are the foundation upon which Obama built his political career and they will be used to paint Obama as a far left radical.

This may be OK with JJP readers but how will it play in the general election?

My concern is to be prepared for the attacks to come.

The Democrat party has been moving to the left since Bill Clinton left office, and the Republicans will paint Obama as the most extreme candidate to date. Couple this with his sparce yet highly partisan, ‘most liberal’ voting record in the Senate and the charge does not seemed so far fetched.

What does Obama truly believe? What does his association with such radicals in his past say about his judgment? What does it say about his patriotism?

This is only one of the lines of attack Republicans are going to lay out against Obama. It would be better for his supporters to look ahead and find ways to fend off these attacks rather than yawn or listen to the echo chamber of Democrat blogs.

As a dare I say it, Christian, in the blogospher I was a little shocked…..Let me know, JJP.

I looked up “sell-out” in the dictionary and found a picture of Juan Williams.

If this is all they have, Obama has lived a chaste life.
