What do we know?
We know that Meeks' view on homosexuality are consistent with those of Minister Farrakhan.
We know that Minister Farrakhan epitomizes greatness, as we were told when he received the Jeremiah Wright award.
We know that Obama has described Wright as a mentor and close friend.
I wonder if Meeks' views of Judaism and Israel are consistent with those of Minister Farrakhan, and others - some of whose words on those very issues are consistent with authors who Jeremiah Wright quoted, in part of whole, in his Pastor's Pages section of the church newsletter (remember the Hamas author of one piece that can be found there?).
Folks, the sad truth is that the case in a campaign can be built using the words of these folks alone with absolutely no commentary by any opponent, be they the Republican candidate or unaffiliated groups like Grover Norquist's and others.
We may nominate Obama, consistent with my call from weeks ago. Getting him elected is going to be a challenge that we as individuals and we as a country may not be up to.
The way that Mellidee and others have been treated here - being told, in one case, that they must be deliberately distorting things soley on the basis that Steve had already set the record straight on that (as if that passes anyone's critical thinking test), suggestions, implications and/or insinuations that Clinton's supporters are racists and/or rednecks- I am starting to question my continued participation on this thread.
I am not going to go back and read
everything that posted while I was on a lovely trip and do not tell me to
I do not tell me it will not be an issue in the general election because anyone posted any polls ran in March that said Democrats were not too upset about it. That would be an insult to the intelligence of a 7th grader with a competent social studies teacher
