Obama's troublesome priest

ASP In Hiroshima

I don't know how Senator Obama can square this circle with rhetoric. He has knowingly associated with radical extremists. This will be exploited during the general election campaign, if not before by the Clinton side. Now, he is also accused of lying about it. An article about his relationship with the pastor appeared in the New York Times last year has emerged indicating that he was well aware of the controversy this association would cause, and dismissed it by acknowledging that if it happens, he will just say that he now disagrees with the church's position...and he exactly followed that plan. Lately Senator Obama sounds more and more like a typically flawed, lying pol. America will not vote for an associate member of a radical group, and one who lies about it to boot. And no amount of nuanced positioning will stop the digging now.

It is clear as clear that Obama is a professional at slippery lying. I called him a conman long ago but am amazed how much more he is that than I ever expected. It would be suicidal for these crazy white liberals to entrust America's fate to this cunning extremist who is adept at disguising himself in moderate blather. Luckily, I think Obama's luck has finally run out. The infamous Wright race-hate video is going to be played endlessly in countless bars up and down the US. People will see exactly what kind of race-hater he is. His campaign against McCain at least is busted. You know who the biggest fools are? The media, who fell like two-year-old babies for this swindler.

Perhaps Obama is right to distance himself. But he should also condemn President Reagan's laying of a wreath at an SS cemetery in 1985, and President Clinton's annual laying of wreaths at Confederate military cemeteries throughout his time in office. Will he? Will Senator McCain? Will Senator Clinton? If not, why not?

It was interesting to note on Sunday that the member of the FNS panel who was most severe on Obama was Juan Williams. Now although Williams is as nearly besotted with the egregious Clintons as Boris Johnson and all the other posh Tory Lefties, for one black to be as condemnatory of another as Williams was does indicate just how badly the Obama campaign has been holed. Up to very recently I am sure the Republicans would have much preferred to face Clinton in November, now I would guess all of us who wish McCain well can rest relatively easy as either Democrat will more than motivate the Republican base.

Surely turbulent priest? Thomas a Becket and all that?
