Needless to say, Barack Obama failed the Whiter than White Test and didn't give the conservatives the lynching that would have made the world a little whiter and a little righter.
Jimmie Crackcorn at the Chickenshack:
Let’s call it another good con job from the substanceless Obamessiah and simply accept that he’ll never answer why his closest advisor aside from his wife hates white people with a blinding fury nor why that’s completely cool with him.
AJStrata in Rainbow Wonderland thinks of the children:
Obama failed and now his campaign is going to limp through a terrible summer. And there will be anger from some small areas of the African-American community at his downfall. Obama tried to equate Wright as a symbol of the black community. I know a lot of blacks who would not agree.
My children live in a wonderfully colorblind world were friends are friends. I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet. I could care less how deep or shallow the tan is. Rev Wright is the kind of person who will destroy this wonderful world my kids and I live in because he injects hate and distrust and race
Gun Counter Gomer who was so hoping to vote for a Black Democrat:
Mercifully, it's over. Once I finally regain control over my gag reflect, I'll check around the blogosphere for other reaction to his speech.
And Stanley Kurtz thinks Obama ain't shed the taint:
Far from pulling a Hubert Humphrey or a Tony Blair and casting the radical left out of the party, Obama seems to see his job as getting the rest of the country to adopt a stance of relative complacency toward the most egregious sorts of anti-Americanism–all under the guise of achieving national unity. The real precedent here is Jimmy Carter sitting next to Michael Moore at the Democratic National Convention. Does Carter endorse everything Michael Moore says? I doubt it. If pressed, would Carter in fact condemn some of what Moore has said? Most likely. But in the end, Carter stood with Moore and put an acceptable face on what should in fact be considered unacceptable. Of course, even that doesn’t begin to compare to Obama’s decades-long association with Wright, and his decision, for years, to place Wright at the core of his political identity.
I too remember the success that former President Humphrey had went he cast out the DFH's. Those eight years of Humphreyism were awesome....

Crackerbloggahs…all o dem. Dey wuthless.
Damn right. Obese-Americans should be shunned, and sent back to whatever country they came from.
You know how I know racism is a thing of the past? Because John Derbyshire no longer makes bizarre and unfunny and pointless racist cracks about african people’s names. Why, just a minute, I think he still does! my bad.
I award Crackcorn one lone, solitary bonus point for not speaking in code.
he’ll never answer why his closest advisor aside from his wife hates white people with a blinding fury
Dude, I’m fucking *white* and I understand why some people of color hate white people with a blinding fury. If you *don’t* know the answer to that, you probably *are* part of the answer.
I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet.
That is exactly what Stephen Colbert says. Perfect. Life imitating art imitating life….
“My children live in a wonderfully colorblind world were friends are friends. I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet. I could care less how deep or shallow the tan is. Rev Wright is the kind of person who will destroy this wonderful world my kids and I live in because he injects hate and distrust and race.”
Exactly, he just took a Colbert monologue and typed it out. Not only is it willful ignorance of the worst sort, it also reaches into the sacrosanct territory where white folks like him don’t think they have address any of the historical injustices perpetrated by this nation.
Fucking amazing.
I believe this was cropped. The next line is: I only notice the race or ethnic background of crazy zealot preachers backing democrats. Especially if its one of dem’ coloreds.
Oh, and thanks alot, Tbogg, I can’t stop talkin’ like dat Uncle Remus nowz.
Well who needs to notice race when you only hang out with people who are white like you?
I’ve always thought it was Thane Cesar and Sirhan Sirhan who cast the left out of the Democratic Party…That’s a Mexican-American and a Palestinian, not that I ever notice the race or ethnic background of assassins.
dsidhe beat me to it, but:
I live in Alabama, and travel often through the Black Belt region, where, rather than “blinding fury”, I’m received without exception with graciousness and civility. It always amazes me, and seems so very……..Christ-ian.
I’d sure hate to go through life like Jimmie, clueless and with no self-awareness at all.
he’ll never answer why his closest advisor aside from his wife hates white people with a blinding fury
Who doesn’t hate white people?

We’ll see how colorblind you are when your children go out with a darker persuasion child. You miserable prick.
The only people you ever hear use phrases like I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet. I could care less how deep or shallow the tan is are the stone racists, the ones who have to go overboard in their disavowals because their actual behavoir so contradicts what’s coming out of their mouths. I’ve never heard a non-racist make such a statement - probably because they lack the guilt of knowing that they truly are hideous racists, and because it’s a stupid fucking thing to say which automatically alerts anyone hearing or reading your words to the fact that you’re not only a hideous racist, you’re also a huge fucking liar.
obama lost all those conservative reich-wing voters .. eh ??
gee what a shame .. who knws where he’ll get now without them …
I know several black people. I don’t like one of them
If Obama had flayed Rev Wright on live teevee, it wouldn’t have appeased them.
Then again, if he’d've renounced, repudiated and rejected the Rev, we’d be hearing how we can’t trust such a man who would spurn a loyal friend.
Ha! I posted the above just minutes before spotting this:
Red State: “Then he got to Reverend Wright and his grandmother, throwing them both under the bus…”
why concern yourselveswith the trenchant red staters .. they weren’t ever goingto vote for any democrat anyway .. much less a half
blackwhite oneIf, and it is still “if,” Obama wins the nomination, he will beat the crap out of McCain because of this speech, and more importantly, the sentiment behind the speech. I’m a cynic of the first degree, but I haven’t lost Hope, and for whatever reason Obama is playing my chords.
Great compendium of wingnuttius moronicanessisius.
Oh, btw, belated B-Day wishes to the lovely and alluring Mrs. Bogg. And give the boys some love from your friends on the blog, or at least this one. No one loves the pooch more than I do.
Did you want to mention which one you don’t like?
Amusingly, this is the part directly prior to the “I don’t see skin color” line:
way way way OT, but I wonder if TBogg would suffer as much for his Mac.

I suppose a “gag reflect” is what Gomer does when he sees himself in a mirror.
My children live in a wonderfully colorblind world were friends are friends. I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet. I could care less how deep or shallow the tan is.
Well, I think that’s just grand. But, see, for it to work, the cops have to agree, your boss has to agree, the politicians who decide where resources are going to be allocated have to agree…
Oh, no, wait. They don’t. Because you’re white.
Every one on that list could have all sorts of excuses for putting the children with the deep tans at a disadvantage and you wouldn’t have a clue, because your kid is doing just fine, and the people whose kids aren’t doing just fine aren’t allowed to talk to you about it.
As a matter of fact, if they talk to you about it they’ve racialized the situation.
WADR, I’m thinking more color-deaf and -dumb.
Julia, have I mentioned lately that I love you?
actually, I think its the reflection that gags.
it’s
So this speech made GCG gag? If Senator Obama gets elected their heads ARE going to explode.
I’m actually rather amused by how much I enjoy listening to him speak (or is it what he says just sounds so good…). Oh well. Someone both articulate and inspiring. So different from what we have now.
Anyway,
“I too don’t even notice the race or ethnic background of people I meet.”, AJStrata
“The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we’ve never really worked through – a part of our union that we have yet to perfect.”, Barack Obama
Which statement do you believe is more correct?
All I need to know is, Tony Snow said so, that settles it. Right?
I mean, if you can’t trust Tony Snow, who can you trust?
