I don't see no Americans. I see trespassers, Irish harps. Do a job for a nickel what a nigger does for a dime and a white man used to get a quarter for. What have they done? Name one thing they've contributed.

Philly Mayor: Obama Pastor Talk Beyond Pale

• "I think there's no room for hate, and I could not sit and tolerate that kind of language, and especially over a very long period of time," said Philadelphia's newly elected mayor, Michael Nutter.
  
  "If I were in my own church and heard my pastor saying some of those kinds of things," he added, "we'd have a conversation about what's going on here, what is this all about, and then I would have to make my own personal decision about whether or not to be associated or affiliated."
  
  Asked by Muir if he would he have quit Obama's church, Nutter said, "Absolutely."

Probably no coverage will be given to the Philadelphia mayor, or anyone else who criticizes Obama's judgement.

I blast the media for biased coverage as much as the next guy. But that article I linked to was from ABC News. That's pretty coverage right there, I'd say.

Though it would be nice if they hadn't buried it on a Saturday.

What do those two quotes have to do with eachother? The Butcher didn't play the race card like Obama did.

Bill the Butcher: fictional movie character, "lived" in 1800s.

Barack Hussein Obama: real life presidential candidate, lives in the 21st century.

Obama Says His Foreign Policy Resembles That of Elder Bush, Reagan, JFK

If that's true, I feel bad for whomod. He'll have to write in Kucinich in November.

i get it, the words of Obama and Butcher are fictional!

Those three ex-presidents made terrible mistakes that could have been avoided: Pig Bay debacle, nuclear missiles in Turkey that provoked USSR to ship missiles to Cuba, supporting Saddam Hussein, Iran-Contras, and not invading Iraq and therefor letting Saddam Hussein to kill resistance fighters.

I wonder if Obama took that in consideration.

But will his white concentration camps be a work of fiction?

Obama Fact: Dystopia Winfrey


Barack Obama is a very complex man. Though it has been well documented he was disgusted upon learning Soylent Green is people, he apparently has no problem with the fact that Oprah has been known to eat drifters.

The Butcher's speech, when quoted by you, reflects self-hatred pretty much the same way Obama's Freudian slip of the tongue.

not to mention the dude's a closet muslim....

First of all: I'm not ashamed of being white. I hate the Irish.

Maybe what you mean is you hate aspects of Irish culture ?

I think the Irish are hardworking and very family-oriented, and have many other positive aspects

Guess what my Irish great great grandparents contributed to American culture after they showed up here....That's right: A brewery. That's really useful.

Al Qaeda recruiting "western" fighters: CIA boss
Al Qaeda is training fighters that "look western" and could easily cross U.S. borders without attracting attention, CIA Director Michael Hayden said on Sunday.

The militant Islamist group has turned Pakistan's remote tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan into a safe haven, and is using it to plot further attacks against the United States, Hayden said.

"They are bringing operatives into that region for training -- operatives that wouldn't attract your attention if they were going through the customs line at Dulles (airport outside Washington) with you when you were coming back from overseas," Hayden said during an interview on NBC's television show Meet the Press.

"(They) look western (and) would be able to come into this country without attracting the kinds of attention that others might," Hayden said, without offering further details.

The United States went to war in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks on U.S. cities in order to crush al Qaeda and hunt down its chief, Osama bin Laden, who Hayden confirmed was still believed by the United States to be hiding in the rugged Afghan border area.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the United States had stepped up unilateral attacks on al Qaeda targets in Pakistan because it fears the country's newly elected leaders will soon curb U.S. actions on their soil. Pakistan's pro-U.S. president, Pervez Musharraf, has been weakened by the defeat of his allies in the country's recent elections.

Hayden declined to comment directly on the Post article, but he stressed that the tribal regions were very sensitive.

"The situation along that Afghanistan/Pakistan border presents a clear and present danger to Afghanistan, to Pakistan, to the West in general and the United States in particular," Hayden said.

"It is very clear to us that al Qaeda has been able over the last 18 months or so to establish a safe haven along the Afghan/Pakistan border that they have not enjoyed before."

Asked directly whether he feared Musharraf might not be around as president for much longer to support the United States, Hayden said he did not know, but praised what the country had already delivered.

"We have not had a better partner in the war against terrorism than the Pakistani government," he said.

Obama's Penn State rally draws 20,000



By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 32 minutes ago

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Shivering in blankets of Penn State's colors, some 20,000 people filled a campus lawn Sunday to hear Barack Obama say he can win the Democratic nomination even if rival Hillary Rodham Clinton stays in the race.

Supporters stood in long lines for hours to hear Obama ahead of the April 22 Pennsylvania primary.

On a sunny day with temperatures in the low 40's, most bundled up for the type of large-scale rally that has become the candidate's trademark.

"It's been a while, and it's a little cold, but we really like Barack. He's inspiring," said 19-year-old Caitlin McDonnell, wrapped in a blue Nittany Lions blanket.

Pennsylvania's primary is the next contest in the Obama-Clinton fight for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Keystone State, which will allocate 158 delegates, is the biggest single delegate prize remaining in the Democratic primaries.

Some Democrats, particularly Obama's supporters, have voiced concern that the hard-fought, drawn-out race is already hurting the party's chances to win in November.

The Illinois senator told the crowd not to worry.

"As this primary has gone on a little bit long, there have been people who've been voicing some frustration," Obama said.

"I want everybody to understand that this has been a great contest, great for America. It's engaged and involved people like never before. I think it's terrific that Senator Clinton's supporters have been as passionate as my supporters have been because that makes the people invested and engaged in this process, and I am absolutely confident that when this primary season is over Democrats will be united."

Clinton's husband, the former president, said Sunday that those voicing concern about the duration of the nomination fight should just "chill out" and let the race run its course.

Obama's rally drew an estimated 20,000 to 22,000 people, according to university official Richard DiEugenio — by far the biggest in a weekend of smaller, face-to-face campaign stops since Obama launched a six-day bus tour through the state on Friday.

From Penn State, he traveled to the state capital of Harrisburg, where he delivered the same call for party unity. He also took aim at Republican nominee-to-be John McCain, saying the Arizona senator undercut his own credibility by supporting the lengthening of Bush administration tax cuts he previously opposed.

"The wheels on the Straight Talk Express came off," Obama said, referring to the nickname for McCain's campaign vehicle. "He wants to extend those same tax cuts that he said were irresponsible."
