WHEN DID HILLARY MENTION ABOUT OBAMA GETTING SHOT????? It seems you heard something that was not said. What she said was talking about was the fact that everyone is telling her to drop out of the race and she said other campaigns went just as long and that Kennedy was shot in June during the campaign. Is she NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT HISTORY????? ? HAS SHE LOST HER FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO SATISFY IDIOTS WHO DO NOT HEAR WHAT IS SAID OR WANTS TO PUT A DOUBLE MEANING IN EVERYTHING THAT SHE SAYS.???? WHAT'S THE POINT????

Some believe she is conniving enough to insinuate an inference of assassination. I don't think she's that bright. She just ran off at the mouth.

These comments should be dismissed and should not even have surfaced. This would have not even come up if everyone was not screaming for her to give up. If she gives up it will be said she is weak and not president material. There is no comparing this statement with Mr. Wrights hate statements, you can not compare preaching racial hate and government hate (AIDS) with what happened during other presidential campaigns - (which I might add was not a RACIAL issue) - thats history.

The great Mr Wright is just the same as
Mr Duke - there is no difference, they both preach racial hate. Why is it that you seem to be the only one that does not recognize the racial hate that Wright preached. You act like blacks were the only people who have ever been treated extremely bad - what about the POW's or the Jews - I know you do not want to hear about any of that. The men that fought to free you were "white" but you never hear anyone speak of them - nor give thanks that they gave their life to give the blacks freedom. You label every white person with the saying "you put us in slavery" not you fought to give us freedom. The first slaves on the earth were "White" - read your bible all the information is in it.
Get off your pity pot and start to live - you can not heal until you do.

Had you bothered to read my profile up on the right there you would noticed that I am a retired vet. Because I was a voluteer... serving with other volunteers in an all volunteer military I do not see that it's a good idea to pair up volunteers with draftee's. Many nowadays want to wrap up their patriotism in cliche arguements following their race and/or party line. How many lynch mobs did Reverend Wrights church send out? Sorry... I'm not buying a freedom sold on agreeing with your brand of presumptious homespun. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution protect free speech and that's what Hillary and Huckabee were practicing when they both alluded to the assasination of Senator Barack Obama. If such an unfortunate event does occur... those comments will haunt them both. I feel sorry for them... just as I feel sorry for Lou Dobbs, Hannity and ORielly for preaching a litany of suppositions to make people like them feel comfortable with thier own prejudices. Now... read it again before you comment since while you read it the first time you were already thinking about what you were going to reply.

"To me Obama is useless, his wife has a big mouth, and he has listened to racist remarks for 20 years without being man enough to speak up."

You know... I had a white pastor who I "spoke up" too about racist remarks that he didn't see as racist. We argued and the next week I showed up for church and bible study. I don't think it was very wise of me to have even spoken to a man who's heart was in the right place in many ways. If you met Rev Wright face to face I doubt very seriously that you would walk away thinking he hates you because you're white.

"Let me ask you - if that was Hillary's preacher how fast do you think it would take Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson to get there?????"

Don't ask me that... ask the news media why they give them coverage over all the others that I'm sure have approached Hillary over the issue. Unfortunately though, as much as MLK gets pretend admiration these days he too would have approached Hillary over the issue and he too would be held in the same contempt as Al and Jesse. Believe it... try to say there is no comparison and we will never have another MLK because there can never be another and the media by using Al and Jesse have made sure of that. We are the media's product... they don't sell news, they sell us.

I was an enlisted man in the Army. I have to say I am a Proud American and I guess that is why I let my pride get in the way when anything is said about our country or troops. Things that would not bother the average person does bother me - like the hands over the heart and the lapel pin - I know it may seem petty to some but I do care as I do not feel respect is being shown for our country. I am sure you feel the same way since you are also retired from the Army.

statueman, we have heard from the black part of you, what about the white part of you. i have 11 white children, but... i have a 1/4 black grand daughter and two 1/2 black great grand babies. well what a quandry. hmmm should i start hating white people, or black people, no not so, neither. we are what we are. all people shades of brown, all God's children. obama's racial heritage or anyone's for that matter is not or forever should not be the issue. but i will never vote for him nor anyone who has the ideals he has, or doesnt have. if that makes me racist then so be it, but that is a tag that those desperate to elect this man to office.

Okay, so you are mulatto then? I was confused, because I assumed that is your face in the picture, and well, you don't look black. Not that I care much, but you have reffered to yourself as a black man, so I am just clarifying.

Also, just a quick comment on something you said about Clinton's comment, which I don't think was intentionally made towards Obama, but maybe it was, I dunno:

"The inference was there... or else why would it have made the news?"

A lot makes the news that shouldn't make the news. The media makes a big deal out of nothing, as do the nominees, like the comment by Obama about the bitter whites in West Virginia.

I really like your writing style statueman, you word things very interestingly. We don't agree on some issues, but that just means I will read your blog more, as reading the ones I agree with isn't much fun.

Hillary Clinton said nothing about Obama or anyone else being assassinated. Her point was simply that in the past primary campaigns have run into the month of June. It's sad that supposedly educated news people put a twist on her statement that a fifth-grader could see is not there. This not directed at you, Statueman, as much some in the national media. Wow. Just because a source puts a twist on something doesn't mean it's really there. Open your eyes, people.

I have to agree. I saw the tape and I believe she is making her point. It is about sticking with her convictions and how many campaigns have pushed through to June.

You know

INRI is Lord, I agree with the name. It's a nice name that makes me think of you expecting a higher standard. Now... If you read a few of my blogs here at myfox you would see who I am for.

However...

If I were to say to you that you're only voting for your candidate because he's white how absurd do you think that would be? It represents the hieght of arrogance and the depth of conciet on the part of many so called "white" Americans to say the African Americans only support Obama because he's black.

Are you a christian? If so... does it bother you that the secular minded are those who are more likely to marry interracially? Does it bother you that Moses Law is being preached by Christians now much in the same way it was preached by Pharisees and Sadducees in Jesus time? Does it bother you that "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" fits you? If not... then ask yourself who your inri really is.

Anyone that believes our government, on any level is making us secure, needs to wake up and smell the fowl winds of truth. Homeland Security has taken our rights, we allow unchecked cargo to enter our ports, we do not have secure borders, we allow those that enter our country to abuse our system unchecked, and the freedom of religion that we all covet, has become a training ground for abuse and child molestation. Blind faith? Faith is not going to make us safe.
McCain is a good man, but he is an old man. If you believe the Republican nominee is going to satisfy your need for religious conservatism, then shame on you. George used you. The office of President is not a position to uphold your religion. Sorry...it isn't all about you.
