>>>>>>>>His muslim name?

>>>>>>>I'm still waiting for real investigation into his relationships with Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Rashid Kahlidi, Tony Rezko, and Odinga.

>>>>>>I really dislike this guilt by association stuff. Who among us doesn't have acquaintances who have behaved badly? And we know probably 1% as many people as Barack Obama. Take my college friends alone, I couldn't get a driver's license if they were under the microscope, LOL.
>>>>>
>>>>>Who sits in HIS chosen church repeatedly and listens to the wisdom of HIS spiritual guide who spouts vehement anti-white, anti-american BS and then says he didn't notice? He's in church for crying out loud Mike! Oh, I forgot, that was just for the cameras, right? church really didn't matter and he was listening to his MP3 player (real loud)?

>>>>>You have no footing on this one Mike.

>>>>>If the KKK did fundraisers for McCain and he attended, that wouldn't be an issue either, right? Like Ayers, Mike?
>>>>>
>>>>>No footing there either.

>>>>I think Tamar put it better than I can. You attend a church regularly for all kinds of reasons. It doesn't mean you agree with everything the minister/pastor/priest/rabbi/iman says. Do you really believe Obama is racist? I don't. I would be disappointed if he was.
>>>
>>>Everything he says? His main point that white people and the US government are the root of evil? What else does he say?
>>>
>>>Yes - I think Obama is a racist. His church affiliation is a major part of that view.
>>
>>Then we disagree. If I thought Barack Obama was a racist himself I would not be for him.
>>
>>Guilt by association. That the Republicans haven't been able to come up with something better than that is very telling IMO.

>>Change of subject -- I have started my own Paul Newman film festival and am going to watch "Slap Shot" tonight. Puttin' on the foil, coach.

>>BTW, for those interested, Turner Classic Movies has a Paul Newman marathon coming up on the 12th. Some obscurities and some classics.

I don't think it is. But I happen to have a spare DVD copy. Want it? Same mailing address as before? ;-)
