Those Closed Door Fundraisers Will Get You Every Time
Hillary Clinton's closing remarks during MoveOn.org Political Action's unprecedented Virtual Town Hall meeting on Iraq -- where seven presidential candidates answered questions from MoveOn's 3.2 million members.
OOPsy, now interspersed with how she really feels in a speech given at a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday. Now that MoveOn.org has endorsed Barack Obama and she don't need your stinkin organization or your left wing loon activists no more!

America's Chickens Coming Home To Roost
k.b.: Would I have wanted to hear this sermon the Sunday after September 11th? Maybe not, but I'm not a black woman living in Chicago day after day who's seen more violence and its aftermath then she should have to. I'm not one to blindly follow the "taken out of context" line but in this instance I think it's fair to say that's true. Will the full message change anyones mind? Who knows but it should be aired in its entirety. I would encourage people to go to Trinity United Church Of Christ's site at YouTube and listen to all of Rev. Wright controversial sermons in their entirety before you make any judgement. I would also read Sam Stein's article at Huffington Post on Ambassador Edward Peck who was mentioned in Rev. Wright's sermon.
They Call Themselves White Racial Patriots, I Call It Pure Evil
I'm proud to be a Polish American and I have never in my life come across such a vile web site as this one. How dare they desecrate the mighty Polish Eagle in such a way.
Look at these beautiful girls. I would hope that children like them are never sucked up into this groups racist slime.
On Barack Obama:
A “Golem,” according to the Jews of the Kabala is a literal man made from mud, conjured up by a rabbi to destroy any and all enemies of the Jews.
This mud-colored mongrel is purely a Jewish-created Golem. Without the Jews support, Obama would collapse into a mass of misceginated protoplasm he truly is. It is a Jew, David Axelrod, who is his “chief political strategist.”
Their hatred is almost palpable and leaves a taste of crap in my mouth. To say that I would even be cut from the same ethnic cloth as these people makes me want to vomit.
Polish Americans should rise up and denounce this despicable site and the idealogy that goes along with it. Our President tells us to fear Islamo-fascism yet these people (and I use that term loosely) go under the radar spewing their evil on everyone. Patriots my ass. They hide behind patriotism.

When Will It All End
k.b.: I wonder if the Democratic voters will come out of this debacle looking any better than the candidates. We may also be too roughed up to come together in August after the convention. Too busy with wound licking and intensive care to go out and campaign for the winner. Talk about bitter.
The Many Faces Of Hillary Clinton
kb: Which one will she throw at Barack Obama next. I firmly believe Bill and Hillary will take this campaign to the gates of hell for her to be the President. The Clintons both believe that she has been waiting,it is her turn and she is certainly more entitled to be President then this upstart young Senator who should logically wait until he has more experience. They want to be the King and Queen of history in the making.
Recession or The Whole Country's Mental Depression
Gas hit $3.43 today at the station near our house in Chesterfield. My son lost his two month old job with Verizon and AT&T is cutting about 4,600 jobs. Yet this stupid son of a bitch still has 8 and 1/2 months left on his goodbye tour.
Finding Refuge In Fox's Bosom
kb: Why does Hillary Clinton always run to Fox News when she wants to complain? They will always listen because it makes for good Dem vs Dem television.
Trinity United Church Of Christ
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
k.b.: Why are people afraid of a strong black church. Isn't that what the African-American community needs. Aren't white people saying more black churches need to be involved in the community to shape their young people, fight crime and help those in need. I just disturbs me that as a people how we seem to give with the one hand and then take away with the other. That's what we are doing with our attitude toward Rev. Wright and Trinity United.
Yes we need the black church but don't let it be too black and all that support of Africa stuff is un-American and why can't the white folks attend services there. We, as white, people cannot even fathom what the black community has experienced since they were torn from their native land hundreds of years ago. For us to presume and negate and dictate what that black church should be all about is nothing but another form of slavery.
Was Rev. Wright angry in his sermons and should he be? Hell yes. Was it race baiting? I'm not sure. Did the Rev. want to change his parishioners behavior towards whites? Or was he simply telling the truth using inflammatory words. Some people need to get down off their high horse and stop whining that every time someone says something derogatory about a part of American life that it means they no longer want to be an American. I hope we as a culture work this out soon and without violence because as a white woman I know I am soon becoming a minority in America. All colors and all creeds that's what this country is all about.
Thank You Hillary Clinton
McCain's "Respectful Campaign" Ends: Fundraising Letter Ties Obama To Hamas
McCain's deputy campaign manager, Christian Ferry, sent an email to donors today with the subject line: "Hamas Weighs In On U.S. Presidential Election."
Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Hamas Prime Minister said, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election. He has a vision to change America."

k.b. And why do we care what Hamas thinks at this point in the campaign.
If You Lie Down With Dogs You Get Up With Fleas
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
Now I like some old proverbs, they have a lot of truth to them. But should we believe in guilt by association or do as Jesus did with prostitutes, sinners and tax collectors. Do we admonish someone yet still love them?
Does is really speak to someones character to have a working relationship with someone who was a criminal and still is not repentant. Or do we take that person on his word that he can work with someone who may be wrong in thought or idea and not have it influence his judgement.
What are we speaking to when we hold these issues up to scrutiny? Color of skin or content of character?
The Burning Issues That Voters NEED AND WANT To Know
Everyone who follows politics knows that when Barack Obama took off his lapel flag pin he was taking a dig at Republicans and the Bush Administration for hastily slapping them on their suits after September 11th and Katrina and yet leaving the American people hanging out to dry. No serious funding for the rebuilding of New Orleans and no funding for the health care of first responders at Ground Zero yet it's patriotic to invade Iraq and wear the pin. What hypocrisy.
I'm disgusted that this is even an issue and even more so that it's pushed by my fellow Democrats. This isn't about flag pins and patriotism this is about class. Inner city class, country rural class, working class, the elite class and I could go on and on.
I'm a transplanted New Yorker in Virginia, a Yankee. I have met and am friends with some of the kindest most generous southern people you could imagine. Yet if someone from my old New York associations came down to visit they may view my new friends with the old stereotype of "redneck". My new friends who laugh and say they are proud to be rednecks but I find class prejudice offensive.
Yet we have a historical moment with woman and a black man running for President from our party and it's an all out gender, class, and race civil war within our own Democratic Party. As Hillary Clinton said, "Shame on you". Shame on all of us.
Nash McCabe You're Now A Star
McClatchy: Obama questioner explains why she finds him annoying. "I want to know if you believe in the American flag." Oh yea, it's the flag pin alright.
Mrs. McCabe looks like she would find the slow pimple faced kid bagging groceries at the Piggely Wiggly annoying.
She's only a year older than I am. I think living in rural PA is taking it's toll. The article did state she and her husband are going through some pretty bad times. Something tells me if I ran into her on the street I wouldn't peg her for an Obama supporter.
Hillary's Commander In Chief Litmus Test - Slime Daughter
McCain made the joke at a 1998 Republican Senate fundraiser. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he asked. "Because her father is Janet Reno."
The Huffington Post
"I think it's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold," Clinton said yesterday. "I believe that I've done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you'll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy." I'm Hillary Clinton and I gave this stupid statement.
